And So It Begins

Quickly riding home to Brethyr Keep I arrived just after sundown, a little later than I had planned to be back but I was just in time to meet with my daughter Jayne, she had arrived at the keep during my absence and had settled into her new chambers while I was gone.

"I see that Maester Lucas has already seen to you"

"Yes Mother he has, he's very kind. He ordered that my new chamber's were to be unpacked and arranged to my liking, and that I was well fed after my journey"

"That was very kind of him to look after you in my absence. How do you like your new surroundings?"

"They are very admirable mother, I see potential in these lands. I hope to ride out tommorow on Ebony to further explore"

"Be careful my daughter, these are strange lands yet. Be sure to take a guard out with you tommorow."

"Yes mother, if you dont mind I wish to retire for the night."

"You may, rest well."

I bid her good night and set out to attend to business matter's concerning the whore and the boy Jon Arryn and I had discussed.

I called a meeting between Maester Lucas, Sir Hugo Flint and I.

"It was an urgent matter that we locate Falyse and Derryck, if they are as important as I suspect they are their safety is paramount and they may already be in danger. I was ordered by The Hand of The King to find out about a matter concerning the boy"

"My Lady if you dont mind me asking, why is this whore and her son so important?" Asked Sir Hugo

"That is precisely my question, Jon Arryn did not necessarily elaborate on the subject but it seem's to be a matter of...Hair color"

"Hair color?" Questioned Maester Lucas

"Yes hair color. I'm in the dark about as much as you are. All I know is The Hand of The King asked me to find out what his hair color is, therefore I must obey because if it's the wish of The Hand it's also the wish of The King, so we have to get this matter settled immediately"

"Yes My Lady, I will get some guards assembled immediately once found we will escort them safely to Brethyr Keep"

"Maester Lucas could you find their approximate whereabouts to aid Sir Hugo in his search?"

"Yes My Lady"

Both Maester Lucas and Sir Hugo departed to prepare for this mission. Maester Lucas seeking their location and Sir Hugo prepping his best men and their horses. I sat for a few more moments pondering precisely why hair color could be such an important matter. I did not know, but I was determined to find out.
