Alebelly found him in the forge, working the bellows2 for Mikken. “Maester wants you in the turret3, m’lord prince. There’s been a bird from the king.” “From Robb?” Excited, Bran did not wait for Hodor, but let Alebelly carry him up the steps. He was a big man, though not so big as Hodor and nowhere near as strong. By the time they reached the maester’s turret he was red-faced and puffing4. Rickon was there before them, and both Walder Freys as well. Maester Luwin sent Alebelly away and closed his door. “My lords,” he said gravely, “we have had a message from His Grace, with both good news and ill. He has won a great victory in the west, shattering a Lannister army at a place named Oxcross, and has taken several castles as well. He writes us from Ashemark, formerly5 the stronghold of House Marbrand.” Rickon tugged6 at the maester’s robe. “Is Robb coming home?” “Not just yet, I fear. There are battles yet to fight.” “Was it Lord Tywin he defeated?” asked Bran. “No,” said the maester. “Ser Stafford Lannister commanded the enemy host. He was slain7 in the battle.” Bran had never even heard of Ser Stafford Lannister. He found himself agreeing with Big Walder when he said, “Lord Tywin is the only one who matters.” “Tell Robb I want him to come home,” said Rickon. “He can bring his wolf home too, and Mother and Father.” Though he knew Lord Eddard was dead, sometimes Rickon forgot... willfully, Bran suspected. His little brother was stubborn as only a boy of four can be. Bran was glad for Robb’s victory, but disquieted8 as well. He remembered what Osha had said the day that his brother had led his army out of Winterfell. He’s marching the wrong way, the wildling woman had insisted. “Sadly, no victory is without cost.” Maester Luwin turned to the Walders. “My lords, your uncle Ser Stevron Frey was among those who lost their lives at Oxcross. He took a wound in the battle, Robb writes. It was not thought to be serious, but three days later he died in his tent, asleep.” Big Walder
