[QUOTE="Maester Luwin, post: 3206219, member: 23259"] Maester Quelion looked up from his books & said “Greetings Mistress Helga. I trust young Snow is well? I am sorry to hear about your misadventures” Helga stated matter of fact “He is well maester… more than I can say of his would be abductors. Now, tell me what you have found.” Quelion Woolfield, Maester to house Karstark, cleared his throat & said “I should have known the answer straight away.” The maester shook his head & with a slight shrug of his shoulders he continued “The horned fish you asked about are not fish at all. They are called narwhales. Stylized as “unicorns of the sea” by some, they can be found off the coast of Skagos in the Bay of Seals. The sava… ah inhabitants of the isle harvest these narwhales for oil, food & the ivory of their horns. In fact the lords of Skagos use just such horns, though intricately carved, as a badge of their office.” Helga thought a moment before asking her questions “Maester Quelion what does the Isle of Skagos have to do with Karhold? And what of the Isle itself I know it not?” The maester’s expression became thoughtful as he stated “Skagos has nothing to do with Karhold that I know Mistress. Though they are both bannermen of Lord Willam & many seem to think his sword is not long enough to reach it. It is said they are … less civilized than the mainland folk. Rarely indeed is it that they leave their rugged island & rarer still are their visits to Winterfell. Why do you ask Mistress? Suddenly Helga noted the curious tone in the maester’s voice. “It is nothing really Maester Quelion. Just something … I remembered from long ago. I thank you maester. I have taken too much of your time.” Helga said & started to leave when Maester Quelion called out “Mistress Helga there is something I thought you should know. Lady Sheria has been visiting the library as well. There is nothing strange in this alone but mainly in what she has been reading…” Knowing that this woman & The Blood Raven have taken an interest in her son, Helga was curious enough. “What was she reading maester?” “Books of dragon lore Mistress. Specifically on the birth cycle & the hatching of eggs” said the maester his eyes narrowing in concern. Helga now interested said “There are no more Dragons maester.” Maester Quelion nodded & said “This is true in Westeros Mistress but legend has it they may yet live in the East…. Beyond Asshai of the shadow!” Lorrick Poole called from the doorway “Mistress Helga, forgive me but we should really be returning to First Keep. I have other duties you well know & one should never tempt fate needlessly.” Helga nodded to the maester & said “My thanks Maester Quelion. Please keep me informed about … our friend.” Maester Quelion stated “Mistress our order lives to serve!” Helga left the library lost not only in Winterfell’s maze of halls but also in her own thoughts. Will post more later. Thanks Maester Luwin [/QUOTE]
