Moved to aforgottenpride @thekingstrueheir - Tumblr Blog

Okay, so, after having this blog for years, I’ve decided it’s time to move Shireen over to my multimuse. I have always liked having a separate blog for her but I think moving her over there will result in more interactions. So, if you are interested in writing with my Shireen, you can find her (and other muses!) over at @aforgottenpride now.

[1/20] ASOIAF power couples → Elenei × Durran Godsgrief

The songs said that Storm’s End had been raised in ancient days by Durran, the first Storm King, who had won the love of the fair Elenei, daughter of the sea god and the goddess of the wind.

On the night of their wedding, Elenei had yielded her maidenhood to a mortal’s love and thus doomed herself to a mortal’s death, and her grieving parents had unleashed their wrath and sent the winds and waters to batter down Durran’s hold. His friends and brothers and wedding guests were crushed beneath collapsing walls or blown out to sea, but Elenei sheltered Durran within her arms so he took no harm, and when the dawn came at last he declared war upon the gods and vowed to rebuild.

Five more castles he built, each larger and stronger than the last, only to see them smashed asunder when the gale winds came howling up Shipbreaker Bay, driving great walls of water before them. His lords pleaded with him to build inland; his priests told him he must placate the gods by giving Elenei back to the sea; even his smallfolk begged him to relent. Durran would have none of it. A seventh castle he raised, most massive of all. Some said the children of the forest helped him build it, shaping the stones with magic; others claimed that a small boy told him what he must do, a boy who would grow to be Bran the Builder.

No matter how the tale was told, the end was the same. Though the angry gods threw storm after storm against it, the seventh castle stood defiant, and Durran Godsgrief and fair Elenei dwelled there together until the end of their days.

❛ Do you hear that? It’s music! ❜ - for Stannis

“IT’S THE MEN. THEY ARE PREPARING FOR WAR. This might be the last night for most of them. For others the events of tomorrow could change them, for better or for worse. So, they can have this night. This moment of joy. To rest their worried hearts, because tomorrow. I will take kings landing. Tomorrow I will batter down those gates. TOMORROW I WILL TAKE WHAT IS OWED TO Me. I will be king and do you understand what that means? THAT YOU WILL BE PRINCESS. That these seven kingdoms will yours, as much as they are mine. Those men out there, are fighting for you. They will die for you. Remember that. REMEMBER WHAT WAS PAID TO SEE THE IRON THRONE HANDED TO THE RIGHTFUL HEIR. Remember how many died to see it in our family’s hands. REMEMBER AND LEARN FROM IT, FOR THE IRON THRONE WILL BE YOURS ONE DAY.”

thekingstrueheir

It was still all so new to her, the idea of being a princess. Shireen had known from a young age that one day her cousin Joffrey would succeed his father Robert and be king, but now all that had changed and he wasn’t her cousin, he had never rightfully been a prince… She knew her father was telling the truth about these things though, she just knew it. He wouldn’t try to take the throne if he thought it was someone else’s.

“A princess. That’s what Mother says too, that I will be queen one day, if no little brothers come along.”

Shireen looked out at all those men, their noise, their lives… She knew fighting for their king or lord was what knights did, but it still seemed a shame that many might be lost tomorrow. “I will remember. I wish you could be king without anyone having to die though, Father. They are good and loyal men.” She knew there were many who had sworn fealty to her Uncle Renly instead, but those outside were truer than that.

The young princess clutched tightly at her father’s arm. “You won’t die though, will you Father? You can’t! I need to see you again, safe and whole after the battle.”

Stannis stood abruptly. “R'hllor. Why is that so hard? They will not love me, you say? When have they ever loved me? How can I lose something I have never owned?” He moved to the south window to gaze out at the moonlit sea. “I stopped believing in gods the day I saw the Windproud break up across the bay. Any gods so monstrous as to drown my mother and father would never have my worship, I vowed. In King’s Landing, the High Septon would prattle at me of how all justice and goodness flowed from the Seven, but all I ever saw of either was made by men.”

In truth, he had not noticed the girl until she spoke. Renly hasn’t seen her many times in his life, but every time he does see her, he wonders how can she possibly be the daughter of Selyse and Stannis Baratheon. She looks sad, and considering how much time she spends by herself in this ugly place, it is no wonder. He sighs softly as he approaches, deciding to be king to her. Who else is going to be? ❝When I get sad, I stop being sad and be awesome instead.❞

thekingstrueheir

As soon as Renly had fixed her hair, Shireen tilted her head so it fell back over her face. She liked it hiding her, her scars.

She had never thought of not being sad as a skill before. If it was, Maester Cressen would have taught her about it, wouldn’t he? “Maybe there are some things one should be sad about.” And the absence of a parent was one of them, Shireen was sure.

“And it would be wrong to try to change the fact that Father has to leave. Mother says it’s his duty, and it’s our duty not to make it harder for him by appearing too sad or asking him to stay.” Shireen didn’t get the impression that her mother found it as hard to hold back tears at Stannis’s departures as she did though.

Shireen frowned, confused. “That doesn’t sound like it would work.” Surely, if what you were sad about was of any significance, you would still be sad even if you decided to be awesome, as her uncle put it.

“Father will- I mean, Father and you-” It was the polite thing to do to add Renly in there, even though she did not really know Renly well enough to miss him. “-will still have to go back to King’s Landing tomorrow, no matter what.”

[4/20] ASOIAF power couples → Orys Baratheon × Argella Durrandon

The battle that came to be known as the Last Storm raged well into the night, a bloody business and far less one-sided than Aegon’s conquest of Harrenhal. When finally Orys Baratheon found the old Storm King on the field, Argilac Durrandon was holding off half a dozen men, with as many corpses at his feet. Baratheon dismounted, so as to meet the king on equal footing, and offered the Storm King one last chance to yield. Argilac cursed him instead. And so they fought. Each man took a wound from the other, it was said, but in the end the last of the Durrandon kings got his wish and died with a sword in his hand and a curse on his lips.

For a few days thereafter, it was feared that Storm’s End might suffer the same fate as Harrenhal, for Argilac’s daughter, Argella, barred her gates at the approach of Orys and the Targaryen host, and declared herself the Storm Queen. Rather than bend the knee, the defenders of Storm’s End would die to the last man, she promised when Queen Rhaenys flew Meraxes into the castle to parley. “You may take my castle, but you will win only bones and blood and ashes,” she announced.

But the soldiers of the garrison proved less eager to die. That night they raised a peace banner, threw open the castle gate, and delivered Lady Argella gagged, chained, and naked to Baratheon’s camp. It is said that he unchained her with his own hands, wrapped his cloak around her, poured her wine, and spoke to her gently, telling her of her father’s courage and the manner of his death. And afterward, to honor the fallen king, he took the arms and words of the Durrandons for his own. The crowned stag became his sigil, Storm’s End his seat, and Lady Argella his wife.

Beloved Daughter‌:

“Father!” Shireen cried, delighted to hear his voice and see his face again after so long. She leaped out of her chair and raced over to give him a hug, a wide grin on her face. She didn’t like that he had to be away so often, though she didn’t complain because she knew he had to do his duty and that it was her duty not to make that any harder for him.

“I missed you, Father! I’m so glad your back.” The young girl raced back over to the table, grabbed the tome and brought it back over for him to see. “It’s about Orys Baratheon and Argella Durrandon, our ancestors! Maester Cressen’s been teaching me about them.” That was one of Shireen’s favourite things to learn about, the Baratheons who had come before her and the things they had done. It made her very proud.

“How was the journey, Father? And how was King’s Landing?” She asked him eagerly. She was not normally a very talkative child, but the occasions when Stannis came back after being away for a long time were times when she had lots to say, and many questions to ask.

The one thing in the world that could prompt a smile from his lips anymore would always be Shireen. So bright and full of life, she brought him more joy than he had ever thought possible. Her response to his return was always a delight, and he held her close when she hugged him. He would give anything in the world to make her happy, to give her everything she needed and deserved.

“I see, not too boring to hear about the start of our house?” He remembered his own curiosity on the subject when he was her age. Stannis also remembered how he had once vowed to be the Hand of the King one day as Orys had been for Aegon. Life certainly had a strange way of making it’s own plans. That was for certain.

“It was good sailing, and King’s Landing is certainly far more boring than learning about Orys and Argella.” Robert had angered him once again, not taking anything that he said seriously and skirting his duty. Robert had been like that for as long as he could even remember, but it always left Stannis feeling sour. “What would you like me to tell you about?” She always had so many questions for him, and were it anyone else he would have brushed them off, but it was Shireen.

He would always make time to answer Shireen.

thekingstrueheir

“No Father, it’s very exciting!” Shireen gave a smile more full of warmth than any that graced her face while her father was gone. This was her one time when she was not the sad and lonely child her maester and everyone else Dragonstone knew.

She was glad he had had a good journey, though it was a shame that Stannis’s being away from home so often wasn’t even for a role he enjoyed. But it was his duty, and Shireen knew that was very important.

“Everything! How are Uncle Robert and my cousins, and the members of the small council, and all the small folk in the city? What are the council most occupied with at the moment?” Shireen always wanted to hear about her family, and all the political characters her father told her about. She cared about the wellbeing of the small folk too, and she wanted to learn as much as she could from Stannis about the business of ruling. After all, if her mother didn’t give birth to a son, Shireen would be responsible for ruling Dragonstone one day.

“Can’t I come with you, when you go back? I’m big enough now, aren’t I?” She had often been told her health was too frail or she was too young to travel, but now Shireen was older she didn’t want anything to hold her back.
