(Year: 280 AC)
---------------------------------
The last Three Years had been Kind to Rogar, he had honed his Warrior Skills and Instincts under Ser Arthur Dayne, while honing his knowledge of governing a Realm under the incompetent Symond Staunton. In truth he'd all but supplanted Staunton as Master of Laws due to being Taking under Tywin's Wing as funny as that sounded.
As A Small Council Page and The Squire of Ser Arthur Dayne, as well as The Future Lord of The Eyrie and Warden of The East, Rogar had a fair bit of influence at Court.
He was a favorite of many ladies of the Court especially as he had reached manhood being five and ten namedays old. It was worth noting that he was often seen in the companionship of either Lady Cersei Lannister or Lady Ashara Dayne. The court whispered frequently of a secret Relationship with one and sometimes even both of them. In truth Rogar had been sleeping with Lady Ashara Dayne, they kept it quiet due to the impropriety of a Squire fucking his Masters sister. After he was Knighted they knew he'd return to The Vale of Arryn.
What he didn't know was that Ashara was determined to create a lasting reminder of their time together....
---------------------------------
(Ashara Dayne POV)
---------------------------------
Ashara held her belly, She'd seduced Rogar Arryn on a whim, yet the way he took her kept her coming back for frequent repeat performances. Ashara found out a few days ago that she was carrying Rogar's Bastard Child, she was elated but also sad, because if raised in Starfall the baby would be Arnolf's Pawn.
Originally she'd been taken with that Wild Northman, but Rogar changed things with that handsome sandy hair, deep blue eyes, and dimples when he smiles, his aquiline nose, and looks every inch a young lord-in-waiting: straight as a lance, clean-limbed, and hard with muscle, and not just the usual type of muscles either.
Rogar had expressly told her when they began the affair that he would return to the Vale when her Brother Knighted him, but the baby was only a month inside her belly. Not trusting Arnolf to not take advantage of the baby, but determined to keep it with at least one of it's parents, she resolved that it would be best if no one but Rogar and Arthur knew of this child, and that Rogar acknowledged the child as his Bastard Child but no one should know that she was the Child's birth mother.
The baby would be protected and safe from Arnolf's schemes and guarded against her grasping nature. It would be difficult as much for her child as it would be for her, for the child's lack of a mother, and for Ashara knowing that she will have to pretend that she is not the babes mother.
She wishes that Rogar was here now, feeling his skin on hers would make her worries go away easily....Curse You Arthur for taking Rogar to Some Tourney in Dorne. It was to celebrate Princess Arianne's 4th nameday. It was also to meet Oberyn's Bastard Daughters, of whom Oberyn had named him their Godsfather, Ashara remembered that Rogar had made mention of eventually sleeping with One of Oberyn's daughters, was that another reason why he was so insistent on going with Arthur? To scout the girls?
Oddly enough Ashara wasn't opposed to this idea, Rogar was just as insatiable as she in between the sheets after all, and so long as Ashara got watch it, she found no fault in it.
---------------------------------
(POV Shift: Tyene Sand POV)
---------------------------------
Gods he was handsome, Father had spoken often of Rogar Arryn and how one day he'd come to ravage them. Was it wrong Tyene found herself liking that idea? She knew the proud Arryn wouldn't touch until she was at least fourteen which was at least a good ten years off.
Nym was already flirting with him, the slut.
Obara only challenged him.
As for Ari, she was stuck between Tyene's own feelings and Nym's.
Tyene wished she was older and bigger, but she wasn't blessed to be so. But mark her words, Tyene would have him someday....
---------------------------------
(POV Shift: Rogar Arryn)
---------------------------------
So fucking Hot, The Sun was blazing like the Twin Sun's of Tatooine, but it was the beautiful women who tempered the heat.
This Tourney was for two reasons, Celebrate Princess Arianne's Fourth Nameday and collect Princess Elia for her Wedding. But Rogar sorely missed Ashara's tender caress. If Arianne, Tyene, and Nymeria were older he'd sate his lust on them, but he was no pedophile like certain Nobles 'Cough' ''Lord Redwyne'' 'Cough' ''Meryn Trant'' 'Cough' ''Walder Frey'' 'Cough'.
Rogar himself had another purpose for being here, aside from scouting Arianne and Tyene and Nymeria, he was here to make a stop on the way back. He had a Package to pick up at Highgarden.
He'd sent letters to Olenna Tyrell and used her for mutually beneficial ends. He revealed corruption, seeds of Rebellion, and plots against House Tyrell. Now was the time to collect on what was owed.
Olenna had financed an acquisition for him, the key hung from his neck. He didn't doubt that Olenna would try and open it, but the lock couldn't be forced. If someone attempted to force it open or use a circumvention of the correct method, then the Lock would release cannister of acid which would melt the locks. It was a simple matter of releasing the Same acid on the Hinges and lock again which would open the chest.
It was Oberyns idea.
---------------------------------
(POV Shift: Olenna Tyrell)
---------------------------------
Someone somewhere was mocking her.
First they sent letters that were placed at her bedside while she slept. The letters contained information on plots of Rebellion, or were detailed reports on the corruption of much of their infrastructure at the ports. But The letters offered an alliance and in person meeting with a representative if she personally financed the acquisition of a specific Sealed Chest of Weirwood.
She had initally hired someone to open it, but they informed her it was equipped with a trap against any sort of attempted tampering.
Now she was intrigued, This had to be extremely valuable to hide in chest equipped with an anri-tampering mechanism. Not to mention that the mysterious friend was sending a representative in person.
She'd just have to wait and see what happened.
Luckily she was old enough to know when to risk something, but was still young enough to know she still had some time left in this shit world and not waste it....
---------------------------------
(POV Shift: Rogar Arryn)
---------------------------------
Rogar was looking out at Dorne from atop Sunspears Battlements. The ignorant would call it desolate and a wasteland, but how so often did such people find themselves lost in those sands and never to be found again?
Silence was your only answer, and it spoke volumes aplenty....
Rogar looked down at the setting sun, they had until tomorrow when they had to depart, Rogar used his position to change the orders of departure in order to feast at Highgarden before departing along the Roseroad.
It was one year from now that he'd earn his Knighthood if everything went according to his carefully devised plan...
(Highgarden, The Roseroad, The Reach, The Seven Kingdoms of Westeros, Westeros, GoT Universe)
---------------------------------
Rogar was dazed, he laid in a woman's bed, having fucked an impression of them into said bed, and though admittedly slightly tipsy, he wasn't drunk enough to not realize with whom he'd just pounded.
Janna Tyrell, he was aware of her pending betrothal to The Fossoway Boy, yet somehow got her to spread her legs for him. It probably wasn't an accident that it happened he wasn't that lucky, but then again he lost his virginity to Ashara Dayne of all people, so it wasn't that far out there....then again this was the Daughter of Olenna Tyrell...so anything that was even remotely possible, was more than likely a cleverly disguised lie.
Unlike his repeated dalliances with Lady Ashara He had little concerns of begetting her with child because Janna even married had never produced any offspring, probably sterile, or her husband Rogar supposed.
Hard to really say with any true accuracy, but it's food for thought in a way. Say Olenna told Janna to seduce him for information? Why risk the scandal? It would affect the Tyrell's standing if word got out about that as well as paint them In a negative light, but a precious and select few would recognize that they had tried and apparently failed to seduce information out of him. The Apparently part was an especially important distinction.
But alas Rogar had little time to dwell on this as he had an increasingly important meeting with Janna's Mother. The longer he delayed the less time he could feasibly spend striking an accord with the Queen of Thorns.
---------------------------------
''Well this is a surprise, The Young Falcon Is my secret friend? Or is he but a Pawn?'' Olenba muses.
''Neither, I'm the Grandmaster. Nice to see the lock intact. Part of your payment is inside consider it a gift for your future Grandson.'' Says Rogar as he unlocks the chest, and places s covered object on the table, opening the covering to reveal a Short Sword of Valyrian Steel with Tyrell-style markings.
---------------------------------
(A/N: Picture a Rapier Guard decorated like Vines and shit)
---------------------------------
''What's to stop me from having your head removed to get whatever else is in that chest?'' Asks Olenna.
''For one thing you'd be dead from the inside out before the next full moon. My lover, my father, my order, and my bride would be coming for you. But here's the thing, whosoever kills me will lose everything. I am an Artysian Monk, which means my agents across Westeros will see my will done. Kill me, and The Rains of Castemere will become an obsolete rhyme as a result. Highgarden, The Arbor, and Oldtown will burn, leaving you as the last Tyrell and Redwyne Alive.'' Says Rogar.
''Is that supposed to scare me child?'' Asks Olenna mockingly.
''No, it isn't, but know this, make yourself a Falcon's Enemy, and it will crush you with it's Honor Held High. In other words expect a Trebuchet full of Wildfire.'' Says Rogar as he picks the chest up and hangs it over his shoulder. ''I'll be sending a Chest along each month, see to it it reaches the Gates of The Moon and I will see you Suitably rewarded and maybe we'll have something to talk about further. And next time, Don't send Janna into my bed.'' Says Rogar as he leaves.
''Hmph, Boys.'' Olenna scoffs.
---------------------------------
(POV Shift: Janna Tyrell)
---------------------------------
Her Lover left her, pounded and spent himself inside of her, but left her. Janna chose Rogar because she had no desire to marry that Prissy Fossoway brat, at least not without a bit of premarital pleasure.
Rogar.....He was good with his tongue, in more ways than one. But Janna Liked to think that Someone like Rogar could help her. She knew her role, both as a Woman and a Tyrell, but that didn't mean that she had to like it. Rogar Arryn had the makings of a truly great Lord, he had the qualities mother instructed her and Mina to encourage in their future husband's and children, but he also had a lot of influence and power. A Royally Appointed Small Council Page who'd effectively all but replaced the current Master of Laws, The former Ward and Fosterling of House Lannister, A Saviour to King Aerys, The only Son of The Lord of The Eyrie, and a Squire of Ser Arthur Dayne of The Kingsguard.
Rogar Despite his age could either become a powerful ally to Janna, or a Dangerous enemy, and after their lovemaking, she much preferred him as an Ally. But Rogar would likely see her seduction as a means of seducing information out of him, which means that She likely had some damage control to do.....
---------------------------------
(POV Shift: Rogar Arryn)
---------------------------------
Rogar was surprised to find Janna still known his chambers, awake and up more so than sleeping still. And while he'd have liked to have had some privacy to review the Chests contents, he wasn't completely opposed to Janna's Company.
''It will be Dawn soon, I must return to my chambers. Will you write to me?'' Janna asks.
''You have to give to get, so don't expect a letter without sending one first.'' Says Rogar.
''And what will you give if you seeded my womb with a child?'' Asks Janna.
''There is nothing that I wouldn't give for them.'' Rogar responds.
''Hmm, good answer. Goodbye my lord.'' Says Janna departing with a sensual sway of her hips.
---------------------------------
After making sure that he was Truly alone, Rogar removed the Chests False Bottom and smiled at the treasures before him. A Valyrian Steel Sword, Parrying Dagger, and a full Cuirass all of this made from Valyrian Steel. Truly magnificent and singular works of art.
Next Shipment would be an Axe and a Pair of Greaves and Gauntlets. Following that was to be a Helm, A Spear Tip, and a Shield, before being finished with a Dragonbone Bow, Dragon Hide Leathers, A Valyrian Steel Stiletto, Twin Valyrian Steel Daggers, both of those Daggers being designed like The Trench Knives of Asuma Sarutobi only more protected, and the last piece would be a Spear Shaft of Goldenwood.
The Spear parts would be a gift to Nymeria Sand, the Trench Knives were for Tyene, and the Stiletto a gift for Princess Arianne.
With these gifts, and his own pieces, he'd be ready. But more importantly he'd have a back up in case his Meteorite Armor and Weapons got Damaged. For now though, he had to make sure these beauties got sent to The Order's Gates of The Moon Enclave. But afterwards, it was time to step up his Martial Training.
It was almost time, and Rogar just absolutely had to be ready before the Kingswood Brotherhood began it's insane plans of fucking with House Targaryen as small-time Bandits.....
