Westerlands: A Short Story

Improved Essays
Joella laughed as she and Jamie raced through the woods on horseback. Tywin had called for Joella to come back to the Westerlands but it wasn't permanent. And it wasn’t because he was worried about the fact he almost lost a child, he wasn’t worried about that at all. Tywin didn’t give a reason for wanting her back, he just had her come. Joella didn’t mind all that much. She was beginning to feel a little homesick. She had been happy to have her brothers back in arms reach. Joella told Jamie about the things that happened in the Vale. Things she didn’t say in her letters or tell their father.

Joella scoffed at her brother. “No, besides even when I do they the only one's cane listen right,” she said, as they began to ride down the trail. “Well maybe if you weren’t so annoying maybe more people would listen to you,” Jamie. “Well maybe if you weren’t of so arrogant, maybe you could beat your little sister in a race,” Joella said, hiding her smirk as Jamie growled in annoyance. The two rode in silence back to Casterly Rock. They had both snuck out so the could ride without adults watching them. Right when the castle came in sight, Arra growled for her mistress’ attention. Joella whipped her head to look at the Shadowcat. Lynora and Arra were looking at a large rock pile, and where punching around it like it was a rabbit or something. Joella giggled. “You head back,” she told her brother, “I’ll see what they want, and meet you back

    Grendel had already decided that he wanted war and death and slaughter, not peace and companionship. He refused to “parley or make peace with any Dane / nor stop his death-dealing nor pay the death-price” (155-156). His attacks didn’t cease “for twelve winters, seasons of woe,” and by that time, it has become doubtful that his motives are anything more than bloodlust and mindless rage (147).
