Bab 11: Chapter 11.
405AD.
Moons has passed since the completion of the new city/castle being built. Brandon let his banner men to take home the seeds, to bask in the glory of Odin and hela. Brandon stood on the balcony over looking the city below with a small smile on his face. His castle on Odin mountain knowing who every attacks will have to go through three walls just to take his home. He made his castle 5ft above ground so they would have to use ladders or go to the main entrance, which is a drawbridge for the greatkeep and great hall, a bridge that connects to the armoury. Making a small courtyard in the center. But before the they would have to go through the narrow path of the entrance. Which can hold two wagons to pass side by side. A giant weirwood juts after passing the entrance, with blood red leafs and white wood. No face carved on them.
Brandon planted weir woods all over his city so the people can pray or leave offersing, Brandon made sure no one offers money to the tree. A law was made to execute people that rape or murders, that sold there own people to slavery, or prostitution and corruption. The thrid top layer of the wall has 2 weirwoods, the second has 4 and the first layer on the ground has six spread out so the people can go to it to pray or offer offerings to the tree.
The people of the north sent elders or magnars to the land of winter to ask for a sapling which Brandon gave out to strengthen odin belief. As Brandon spread odin word across the land people of the south began to notice a new tree. Which spread far south and to the west/east of Scandinavia.
-3 winters later-
Brandon has strengthen his kingdom to the best of his ability, he trained his woman to fight and hide weapons on there body. Mostly daggers and small swords. Another thing Brandon did when he was a boy was make chop sticks and used them, many watched on and started to copy their prince, even cregan did it to but had difficulty. Brandon knew he is teaching the new generation patience, half still used forks but are catching on and it's moving across the kingdoms of the north. Some find it better but still occasionally use the forks still.
As Brandon walk in the courtyard he sees some men preparing to travel as this day Brandon decides to raid the Roman Empire. He brought his new fleet that Carrie's 80 men each, about 12 longships are going. Astrid wanted to come but Brandon told her to teach our son to run the city while I'm gone. Astrid kissed Brandon before going back to the children, Brandon hugs and kisses his children on the cheek not before kissing his woman's goodbye. Brandon told Torrhen he's in charge while he's gone and his mother is his adviser so he took her word very seriously. Has Brandon left the upper part of the wall he made his way down passing people, bowing or showing their gratitude. As he past the weirwood trees he sees offerings and people praying to it. Brandon smiles and bit and made his way down the second layer and than the ground layer.
The gates slowly open making a creaking sound. The men behind Brandon were in armour thats a mixed between brigandine and dwarf armour. It's light and heavy almost perfectly balanced so it won't slow you down in battle and great defensive capabilities. If his in the right area you can get stab or sliced.
-1 moon-
As Brandon look out to the ocean he can see a storm coming so he order his fleet to go south. Brandon made a makeshift compass he knew which is north, south, east and west is. He been making a thin semi long pin to put on a leaf and let it point north. He didn't let anyone know about this he didn't show it to his wife or his concubines. He would only tell his son and the spare to know it's capabilities, because this can change the very world they live in.
As night descends on the land and the stars starting coming up. Brandon is laying againts the stern looking up admiring the sky, he look back at his men and sees one looking out to sea. A young man mayhaps 17 winters old, a patch a hair growing on his chin. Brandon's spoke to him.
"Stop staring into the abyss." The young man jump a bit and look at his king staring at him. "Why…my king." As he stuttered out.
"If you stare into the abyss long enough the abyss with stare back." With a calm voice, Brandon looked back up to the sky looking at the stars above. The young boy looked back at the king with a frightened expression on his face and quickly look away from the sea.
Brandon awoke by the same young man from the night before waking him up. The night is still dark and look at him with a confused gaze and the young man notice and pointed towards the south. Brandon got up and looked out, he sees a town a semi big town. Torches light up the dock and the town roads we can see some people walking about but nothing els. Bran looked back at his ships sees mostly all put out there torches. Thanks to the moon light he can see them readying for battle as we are half a mile out. No guards patrolling the docks.
Brandon ordered his ships to move quickly and quietly. Brandon took up an ore to start towing to the town, everyone followed and started to row fast while trying not to make much noise. As they got close no one notice till it was to late. Brandon was not far aways from the town maybe 50 yards and closing fast, he closed his eyes and concentrated.
They wind pick up and the weather started to get cold even if it's the beginnings of spring. As Brandon open his eyes he's about ten feet before his ship landed on the land. Brandon jump off and ran towards the nearest guard that came out a building. He didn't notice him until he was right upon him. The man wanted to yell out but was quickly stab in the neck, Brandon had his hand resting behind his head and his dagger is embedded under his chin. Blood soaked out and quickly took out his blade before blood drip on him. He quickly took in his surroundings and notice his men killing the men and some charged in the building where you can hear a fight going on.
Brandon and a dozen men followed him deep in the town looking at the architecture around them. Than they heard it a loud horn echoed in the town and Brandon pulled out his horn an blown into it. Next thing the whole town started to wake and horns began to blow long and loud around the town. Brandon men quickly moved and killed throughout the town killing guards and men trying to defend themselves, only to be sliced down.
Brandon block an attack by a Roman guard looking frightened as he thinks he's looking at the giants before him. Never seen before. Brandon quickly killed the man and moved on to the next, as blood began to splash on his face and clothes. Many Roman's tried to run to the stables but were cut off by the stark men.
Fires began to light up some houses and Brandon is in the middle of the town. As he warped his arms on one of the Roman's guards before twisting his neck the other way. The Roman's around him noticed this and started to run anywhere but here.
As morning came upon the land you can see the town giving off black smoke from some buildings Brandon is sitting in one of the nicer buildings looking around. Seeing paper blank paper and a map of northern France and bits of Britannia. He smiled and ask the scared person in the corner asking where he is.
The man is the elder of the town, nice cut hair and fine clothes. He hesitatly pointed at the map at the town his in. Brandon nodded and look closely at the map, as the map tried to sneakily pull out his hidden dagger to bring down on this barbarian dog. Only to be meet with a quick hand on his neck and he was easily lifted up, he tried clawing at the man before only to be squeezed harder. Intel you hear a crack and the mans body went limp, he let go of this man and went back to look at the map.
As Brandon left the house he looked on and seeing his men covered in blood and seeing some fondle the woman the they captured. He made his way towards the docks to see his second in command. As he past his men they stood up and bowed to him or nodded and Brandon did the same showing recognition to them. Brandon past one house with a broken door and sees inside to see one of his men thrusting wildly into one of the towns woman on the stable, and he did nothing and past by turning down this road to make it towards the dock. To see what loot or counts of casualties on his side.
He past some men that are injured and his men tending to them not seeing anyone that died. He look ahead to his his second in command talking to one of the men. They spot there king and quickly bowed.
"My king… what did you find out about this land." Brandon smiles a bit and spoke. "We are here." While grabbing the map and putting it on a flat surface and pointed here. "This place the northern coast of belgica and there are dozens of villages along the coast." As he moved his fingers across the map south, And the closest biggest is town is four nights away three if the run here. Let the men rest for a day before we set sail again."
"To where my king.. back home."
"We follow to coast and raid every town and village. Till our ships is filled with treasure and slaves."
Both nodded and left to tell the men. Brandon looked out to sea and smelled the sea breeze coming in. He left the docks to enjoy the elders house and take a couple woman to his bed willing or unwilling ones.
As days past words began to spread about attacks on the northern coastal town and villages, they say demons from the water came. Big ships filled with giants attacking and biting there towns. A big wolf on the flag of there ship. A demon with grey eyes killing there husbands and guards killing them with ease. Some commanders order there men to mobilize and go north to deal with this barbarian attack.
Brandon led and ambushed attack on the army before him, his scouts caught them not even half a days out and order his men to get into positions and wait. As the sun began to set the seen the men before him numbering a thousand men in four rows marching in sync. A horn quickly disturbs the birds and men below them catching them off guard as arrows descended upon them. Hitting true. Many fell off the first volley and quickly shielded themselves. They tried to look on who's attacking but we're descended upon. Metal can be heard clashing againts one another. Cries of men came from the woods begging and pleading for mercy as they are facing 'giants' or they tried to run away only to be cut down.
The battle was over after awhile and Brandon looked on seeing some of his men died in battle. He had a sad look but can't do anything no matter how much he tried to save them but he knows he can't save everyone. Brandon can see his men looting the bodies and he order one of his men to take this generals armour so he can take it back home. Looking at it, it looking the a Centurion armour.
His second in command came beside and spoke to his king. "My king, are ships are filled with treasure and slaves. Do…do we keep going south or…" Brandon cut him off before he could finish.
"No. We go home order our men's bodies to be burned so the families can bury them at home." He nodded and took some men with him.
Brandon looked out casting his gazed on the land. He knew this would be talked about. Losing a thousand men will surely get there attention. Brandon ordered one pensioner to be let go and speak of what happened here. As he watched the injured young man leave and slowly lossing him in the distance. He moved back towards his men and they followed him back towards the ships to leave this land and head home.
More days as past and people began to notice a large cluster of birds flying around a certain spoke, he order his men to check it out only to return with pale faces. They told them on what the seen only to see a grave face on the general. He went to the site and sees bodies of the men that went missing couple nights ago, severed heads put on spears and bodies naked with some cloth on them.
Brandon and his men his men made it back to the ships and quickly left to go back home. Not caring of what they did on this land and it's people. The slaves are scared, not knowing where they will end up. Brandon went to the back of the stern where the woman that he took to his bed. Two to be exact. Blond hair and brunette hair colour both have pale skin, nice looking face. He has taken more woman to his bed during the raids but only took two back home with him. Both are mayhaps 16 to 18 winters old. A language barrier was difficult but they knew they had it better than the other woman's on the ships as some were shared between five men or more. As they noticed that no man touched or looked there way. Giving them good food and clothing to cover them better than the rest. Brandon took the blonde girl and brought her close to his groin area. She help untie his pants to started to to give a handjob before putting it her mouth to suck. He men looked away from there king doing and focused on there own thing.
-moons past-
After a moon out at see and stops along the way they finally made it home, back in the winters kingdom. As the final turn of the river the slaves looked on in awe and horror as they seen they place before them. Giant walls a city they never seen before, the sun shinning on the walls. Stone castle on top of the mountain and a stone village before the city walls. A horn blow out signaling there aporch. Many came to the docks the welcome there people home.
As they dock the people help bring in there supplies and noticed the new slaves and the two woman beautiful beside there king. They bowed and welcomed him home after two moons of being gone. As they made it past the streets people call out to him thanking them for there return.
As people made there way towards the castle above the slaves were taken to the market to sell. As the two woman broke off from the rest and followed the man before them. The men followed him up to divide the wrath they accumulated thanks to there raid.
As they made it up the castle top they seen a flat/hilly area that the castle layed on, they notice the steam coming from the water not knowing what it is. They have shocked faces on the tree infront of them, a white tree with blood red leafs and the castle behind it, big and massive. The castle is seven feet off the ground. A court yard in the castle. The armoury is connected to the main castle by a bridge, and the great hall is also connected to the greatkeep. And a big library connected to the main keep. By its own bridge and a spiral staircase on the outside going up. A group of trees about five acres off to the far left side, with a hot springs off to the side of the trees. As they came off the carriage they seen the man that took them being hugs by a group of children that looks like him and five woman kissing him. The woman notice the two woman came off the carriage and made there way towards them and touch there face and body.
Astrid put her hand the one of the girls belly and can fell a slight bulge growing. She look back at her husband with a face but didn't say anything. To woman looked at the children pointing at them not knowing what to do. Brandon came and took the children away and made it up the walk way and crossed to the greatkeep. The woman brought the two girls with them. Knowing they can't do anything about it but welcome them to there new home.
Brandon and Astrid left to there room to make loves because Astrid is kind of jealous that the woman he brought had babies growing in there bellies and she wanted another.
-5 winters later- 410AD
Brandon looked out to his city with a smile on his face. Over these past winters he dealt with war and broke men on his land he has taken his children to see him behead a man and talk to them about why he had to do it. His base born and true born children are raised with each other knowing most don't carry the stark name but still loved them anyways. The two woman gave birth to healthy babes and give him some more children. While his other ladies did to. His children grow from 11 kids to 15. Many of the servants and guards love the little ones as they are respectful and kind. Fights happen between them but always resolve their issues with each other. He looked back and sees his woman on the bed naked after there night of fun but Brandon made sure to not shoot his seed in there belly again. He look passed the river and see a mountain that would be perfect for his new project as he knows what to do now. His knowledge by the dwarves and giants will help a lot. He knows what he will build a place where knowledge and scholars with come and go. To teach and learned about the land and plants. Medicines which already started with experiments thanks to the broken men and prisoners only the worst kind.
-10 winters later- 420AD
Brandon is in his mid forties and decides that he will give up his crown to give to his son to rule now so he can focus on his projects. He didn't neglect his children or his wives. The two woman as gotten used to the north and it's people as they converted to norse gods. His projects that he's been working on is coming along well beside the war that happens from time to time. He didn't expand his kingdom any further and is going to leave it to his lineage to bring the north together. He didn't stop training his children in the ways of fighting to win no matter how despicable it is. He showed them the hard truth of this world to get them ready for what's to come.

Brandon looked at the fire burning before him one of his wives died of old age and another of childbirth the brunette one. He mourned for there lost and so did his children. Torrhen took being the king of winter with the help of his father and mother taking care of its people. Brandon introduced the order to his kids and some decided to join the order to protect the family. His order grow more and went beyond his kingdom. He had spies in every kingdom in the north, knowing there secrets and backstabs or there movements againts them. His projects is coming along as well, his new castle will hold knowledge and the new order that he made. He called them scholars, knowing what plants to used and not to used. They made a drink that can reduce getting pregnant which was a great boon for the brothel houses and woman that don't want to carry a child. He has taken in orphans to his order knowing it's bad but they need loyal people to help protect the people and there freedom. Torrhen still comes to his father for advice and his impot on way to do things.
Brandon knew he's getting old and wants to die on the battle field but knowing his line will be welcomed if they die of old age thanks to hela. Brandon taught Torrhen about inbreeding is bad that they can only if there were his second cousins or first cousins. His hair is getting grey but his body stayed the same. His woman still sleep with him but they sometimes become self conscious on there body but Brandon always told them how they are just fine they way they are.
-5 winters later- 430AD
A sad day came upon the winters kingdom as Brandon was slain in battle against the south. The north cried upon his death and Torrhen took his death hard but his wife and mother brought him back. Brandon at the age of sixty five died in battle. As he held off the advance as did his greybreads did to. With Brandon sacrifice Torrhen won the war and brought death and destruction on those that killed his father. His wives mourned the lose of there loved one as he's in Valhalla drinking and feasting with the gods and his father. Torrhen took his father's project with stride to finish his father construction which was half way done. He left he's designs to finish the castle and drawed what with will look like which help a lot.
On that day Brandon was written in the history books as 'Brandon the builder' a legacy that the Starks will live up to, some good some bad and some great ones.
