Oros called together the guards of the Aeksion Tower.

They bowed to him when they gathered in the great hall.

"What do you require of us, my lord?" Corwyn asked. He was a Valyrian of lower birth, a member of the vassal house of Gelior. They were descendant from Daemon the Silver Dragon, a bastard Aeksion.

Oros told them of the incident between Sar Mell and Volon Therys. "I has been decided by my father that I am to assist House Glaerys in this matter, so I will be leaving with the reinforcements soon enough. When I am gone, you will be acting Captain of the Guard, Corwyn."

Corwyn and the other guards were still kneeling. "As you wish, my lord. I will protect your kin with my life."

"Nothing less is expected." Oros stated. He bid them stand up and get back to work.

Once the matter of the security of his family was done, Oros headed up to the living quarters to see his sister-wife.

The guards outside Saena's chambers said. "Milady wished not to be disturbed, milord."

"As her husband, I must insist." Oros said.

The guards looked at each other. They were stuck in a predicament. If they defied Saena's order they would be punished, but to defy Oros would also result in punishment as he was both one of their masters and their captain.

Oros scowled. His tone was now more authoritative. "Step aside."

The guards conceeded and parted to allow Oros into the chamber.

Saena's room was a large suite with a king sized bed in the center, numerous exotic animal pelts and plants scattered around.

Oros found his wife sitting at her desk, staring at the dragonglass candle in front of her. She seemed to be in some sort of trance, the snow-white flames of the magic candle licking her fingers.

Now he understood why she didn't want to be disturbed. He decided that it was wiser to wait for her to finish, else he'd sufffer her rage. He took a seat at one of the couches in the room and poured himself some wine.
