Theon wiped the spittle off his cheek with the back of his hand. “Robb will gut1 you, Greyjoy,” Benfred Tallheart screamed. “He’ll feed your turncloak’s heart to his wolf, you piece of sheep dung.” Aeron Damphair’s voice cut through the insults like a sword through cheese. “Now you must kill him.” “I have questions for him first,” said Theon. “Puck your questions.” Benfred hung bleeding and helpless between Stygg and Werlag. “You’ll choke on them before you get any answers from me, craven. Turncloak.” Uncle Aeron was relentless2. “When he spits on you, he spits on all of us. He spits on the Drowned God. He must die.” “My father gave me the command here, Uncle.” “And sent me to counsel YOU.” And to watch me. Theon dare not push matters too far with his uncle. The command was his, yes, but his men had a faith in the Drowned God that they did not have in him, and they were terrified of Aeron Damphair. I cannot fault them for that. “You’ll lose your head for this, Greyjoy. The crows will eat the jelly of your eyes.” Benfred tried to spit again, but only managed a little blood. “The Others bugger your wet god.” Tallhart, you’ve spit away your life, Theon thought. “Stygg, silence him,” he said. They forced Benfred to his knees. Werlag tore the rabbitskin off his belt and jammed it between his teeth to stop his shouting. Stygg unlimbered his axe3. “No,” Aeron Damphair declared. “He must be given to the god. The old way.” What does it matter? Dead is dead. “Take him, then.” “You will come as well. You command here. The offering should come from you.” That was more than Theon could stomach. “You are the priest, Uncle, I leave the god to you. Do me the same kindness and leave the battles to me.” He waved his hand, and Werlag and Stygg began to drag their captive off toward the shore. Aeron Damphair gave his nephew a reproachful look, then followed. Down to the pebbled4 beach they would go, to drown Benfred Tallhart in salt water. The old way. Perhaps it’s a kindness, Theon told himself as he stalked off in the other direction. Stygg was hardly the most expert of headsmen, and Benfred had a neck thick as a boar’s, heavy with muscle and fat. I used to mock him for it, just to see how angry I could make him, he remembered. That had been, what, three years past? When Ned
