“You!”the iron captain called across the carnage. “You of the rose! Be you the lord of Southshield?”
The other raised his visor to show a beardless face. “His son & heir. Ser Talbert Serry.And who are you, kraken?”

“Under the sea mermen feast on
starfish soup, & all the serving men
are crabs. I know, I know, oh oh oh.”
Melisandre’s face darkened. “That creature is dangerous. Many a time
I have glimpsed him in my flames. Sometimes there are skulls about
him, & his lips are red with blood.”
“Justice.” Thoros smiled wanly. “I remember justice. It had a pleasant taste. Justice was what we were

Staring at the night sky, trying not to feel the pain up his right arm. The night was strangely beautiful. The moon was a graceful crescent & he had never seen so many stars. How can such a night be beautiful? he asked himself. Why would the stars want to look down on such as me?
Some instinct made her lift her hand
and cup his cheek with her fingers.
The room was too dark for her to see
him, but she could feel the stickiness
of the blood, and a wetness that was
not blood. “Little bird,” he said once
more, his voice raw and harsh as
steel on stone.
“In this dread hour a warrior shall draw from the fire a burning sword. And that sword shall be Lightbringer, the Red Sword of Heroes, and he who clasps it shall be Azor Ahai come again, and the darkness shall flee before him.”
