There are no fair maidens in this tale. But there is a bear, touched by something that makes it roar angrily and give chase after the woman with a Templar shield. Brienne of Tarth is a great beast of a woman herself, but she does not have claws or teeth. Just a shield and rusted blade in each hand.
Was it possessed? Could a demon truly possess an animal with no will of it or was it influenced by the hole in the sky that has been?
Little has made sense of late, since war broke out, since the breach appeared. By that point the mages had already revolted and the Templars had left - including her own fellows. She'd yet to become fully fledged in the order. Now there was none.
A war with no winner, and endless cold. So much fighting - and now the innocent lives that were caught in the middle. This was how far they had fallen.
And now... bears. The woman stops, bright blue eyes meeting the glowing green of the bear. Brienne raises her blade, slashing out as it lunges at her. Her feet scramble over branches hidden by snow as a hairy paw swipes at her.
2. what's a little bear blood?
She had been trying to help - and for her efforts, Brienne winds up covered with it. Bear blood. Swallowing past her disgust, the embarrassment, and the cruel words (only wind, words are wind), the young woman steels herself.
"I wish to help you and this is how you repay me?" A hand reaches up to brush blood out of her face, ignoring the slight waver in her voice. "If this is what you wish, then fine."
5. you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave
Brienne has taken for granted just how large the Hinterlands is. It seems as if she has been here for so long that she should be able to find the road. But between bears, angry villagers, the snow - all of it works against her. She hefts the bag of gear and her weapons as she trudges through snow that goes up to her ankles.
There's a smell in the air. An inhuman noise has her turning - and facing a fiery red creature. Fear demon. While her training is less than finished, she calls upon her abilities to cast a smite on it.
