She nodded, then reached in her belt pulling out a whetstone. "I understand, but... Was it not magic inside the Weirwoods? Or those dragons of the past that heard about?"
Raven unsheathes one of her shortswords, moving the whetstone along the edge of the blade,"I do not believe magic is all bad. I see it as I see this weapon..." She holds out her sword,"If you are untrained then this is useless, but if you hone you skills and practice then this can be your saving grace." She smiled lightly,"Oh yes, where are my manners? I am Raven.."

"Aye, but an untrained fool holding a sword can only kill one man with a single mistake. An untrained fool with magic can kill a dozen. Or a thousand." He finished cleaning the blade and sheathed it again. "Magic may not be all bad, but someone will always find a way to make it bad. And, my name's Jason."

She nodded, running the stone one more time,"You sound like my Lord Father, he was not a fan of magic either."
"And you have a right to dislike it as should I, as I look out at that devastation and almost lost my own life today, but I do not."
She then smiled at him and put her sword away,"But Jason, we shall agree to disagree, but that does not make me ungrateful for you saving my life."

Jason nodded, holding up his hands slightly. "Anything for a lady in need, although I don't imagine you being the lady type. And, I should hope your Lord Father was a good man, then. Let's look for the others, shall we?"

Raven laughed hearing the lady reference,"I am as much of a lady as you are, but I can give respect where it is due."
"And my Lord Father was a good man for a Umber.", she smiled. "Even to a bastard daughter like me." Raven then stood and nodded,"Yes, let's find where they are hiding.. I am in need of a good meal."

Terrence nods weakly. "I...see..." He coughs. "Catherine? Your sisters?"

Kalvin takes her hand. "So apparently you're a badass, now," he says with a grin.

Nyles chuckles. "If half of what I hear of Bryce Dayne is true...you can find another mercenary. The man's insane beyond belief...and he has an army."

Uhtred had been using the boat to search some of the areas of the castle that were still under the water. Giving up, he began to pull at the oars to land, looking out over the lake, hoping that his faster ships would be here soon. They would need all the help they could get.

Crowl stands around the courtyard, when he see's Catherine kneeling on the ground he approaches her and holds out the hilt of Heartbane, "My Princess, I want you to take this. It is what remains of your father's sword." He says mourningly.

She squeezed his hand, grinning back at him. "I wouldn't go quite that far, but...yes, I am."
"We thought you'd all drowned. I guess the boat saved you all?"

Jason nodded, offering his arm to her again. "Don't expect me to find them, I've never even been to Eddard's Rest before, let alone the keep."

Taking his arm again with a smile,"Well, we can still have a look around, it can't really hurt now can it? Maybe even the courtyard?" Raven looked at him,"Or they could still be outside searching? Were they near you when you heard me?"
"Where would you like to start, Jason?"

Catherine just stares at the hilt and holds it to her chest, sobbing. Ben's sisters gently take her into the castle. Kalvin looks to Arania. "Well, your man has now fought TWO giants made entirely out of magic and blood."

He shook his head, walking out into the hall. "I was the only one searching, the others were reuniting or resting, I think. The prince is likely with his surviving family, although I imagine The Crowl is still in the courtyard."

Crowl then goes around next to the body of Cassadar, he squats down next to the man and examines the dead man's head to see if it would suit the purpose he has plans for it.

She nodded,"Then let's go to where the others are, if The Prince is busy we should leave him to it."
"Plus they maybe even looking for you to come back. I am warm now, so where you lead, I will follow for now."
