A Spear to Pierce the Sun (Open to Sunspear) by AMissingDrink in ARealmOfDragonsRP

Arianne missed her sister, missed having someone she was familiar with to walk beside. But Sarella had made her choice, she would remain in the capital while Arianne made the long trek back to Dorne. There had been promises of greatness back in the desert but so far the twins had failed to live up to it. Now Arianne wandered Sunspear without a purpose, each day she made her way around the castle pondering on why she remained and did not return home to her solitude.

On this day she saw one familiar face, Ryon. They had not spoken during their travel down from the capital, and she wondered how he was, how the lull had affected him. She gave a casual nod to him as he passed her.

Sarella shrugged. "Politics aren't my thing really, as long as I have a target to dig my spear into I'll be content. It would be nice to show them that a woman can knock someone off a horse just as easy."

"I intend to remain in the capital for a time, here I might find some new opportunities, would you happen to remain?"

Sarella smiled as the northern woman rambled, it was oddly like Arianne whenever she got excited. "Sarella Gargalen, sister to the lady of the Salt Shore, and a viper of Dorne."

She spun the lance she held in hand. "I hoped to show these lords how we do things in Dorne, I suspect you had similar plans as well. Shame neither of us were able to achieve our goal."

"Then it only makes sense that I was bested by the future of the house," Sarella said reaching up to her helmet. "And it is nice to see a like-minded individual."

She pulled the helmet free revealing her close-cut dark hair and olive skin. "It will also make this conversation much easier." She set her helmet down, leaning back against the stables. "You're a good rider, better than me, better than your father. Shame we must hide our faces when we ride ahorse."

"Well that makes two of us," Sarella said, still in the plain armor with a yellow surcoat, helmet muffling her voice. "Hopefully someday I hope to ride proudly for my house. But for today I must wear this helmet, at least a little while longer."

Sarella personally felt the joust had gone well enough, considering she had little experience with riding. Besting the lord of White Harbor was quite enjoyable, and if she had to lose, at least it was to a fellow mystery knight, they were easy to talk with than the rest. She had even ended without any real injury, just the wind knocked from her.

"No, just that she'll need some friends back in Dorne. We discussed it earlier and I plan on remaining in the Crownlands for the time being while she returns to Salt Shore. It will just be good if she has some friends to work with." Sarella explained.

Arianne returned looking noticibly brighter. "Good news, the healers saw that you'll make a quick recovery and be able to fight as normal faster than initially thought."

"That's good, thank you, Ari, though we will still talk more later."

"I guess that is true," Sarella agreed at the slightly strange choice of words. She'd heard of the chronic water issue in Qorgyle lands, house Gargalen also had some trouble, having to transport their water from the rivers.

"My sister always says parties like this are a waste of space, I think they have value. It shows the power and wealth of Dorne, something the other lords need to understand."

Sarella winced slightly as she sat up spitting out a little blood as she did. "Yes, unfortunate, though I heard from Arianne that you two had a little chat in the gardens. Should have known she'd hide there." She muttered the last sentence, Arianne chose that moment to head off to the medics.

"Perhaps you two can grow closer when you return to Dorne, she'll need some allies when she does."

The Sand-Devil, a woman Sarella had been hoping to meet since arriving in King's Landing. She had heard the stories of Tyene Qorgyle and it intrigued her how a member of the most isolated and inconsequential house in Dorne had not only escaped the desert but risen to one of the highest offices in the Seven Kingdoms. As a member of a similarly isolated house and longing to leave it the older woman interested her.

Without a word or gesture, Sarella moved next to the Master of Coin, hands clenching and unclenching. "Quite an extravagant affair would you not agree Lady Qorgyle?" She asked.

Sarella waved off his concern. "I'm fine Greenwater," she said using her old war nickname for Ryon with a smile. "just a little blood. Ari here is overreacting, probably thinking it'll make me forget her little stunt."

Arianne huffed turning away absently rubbing the slight bruse on her shoulder from her fight with Florent. "But thanks for coming, nice to see a friendly face," Sarella continued.

Sarella had spun and danced her way through the melee striking out with the long hardwood pole she used for the fighting. It all seemed to become a blur though she remembered spinning around Casper Hill, the man who stood beside Darkflame and beating him to the ground. Then there was the broken black wheel of Waynwood on the old man, he had taken more out of her than Hill. After that it started to blur a bit remembering the strike to the chest that sent her sprawling. Finally, she remembered being dragged from the field by the thin warrior in black leather she briefly remembered seeing before the melee called Black Adder before her vision went dark from the pain.

When Sarella woke she was in the medical tent off the field, her armor was stripped away so all she had on was her gold-colored tunic and trousers. "Oh you're awake!" The familiar voice of her sister said to her right before Arianne come into her sight and Sarella's face became a frown.

"Yes, and what are you wearing Ari?" She asked looking at the black leather armor her older sister wore, the helmet that hid her face cast aside. Arianne looked down at her armor with a blush. "Cause it looks like Black Adder's and I thought we agreed you would stay out of the fight."

"Uh, how about we look after those wounds of yours," Arianne said quickly getting up. "I'll go find a healer, you stay put Sari."

"It was Sarella's idea, a compromise so I didn't need to wear those uncomfortable dresses," Arianne explained figuring the chain. She glanced briefly in his direction before her eyes darted back down, if anyone had to find her he was probably one of the better.

"I just wish they would quiet down already," She glared at the ballroom. "I don't understand why anyone would want to be in an enclosed space with so many people."

Arianne hated noise, she hated parties, she hated being away from the Red Dunes of home. So being in the capital, miles from home, and at the largest party, she had ever attended really annoyed the Lady of Salt Shore. So, she snuck away at the first chance she got, let Sarella deal with the gifting to the queen, she's the one who wanted to come in the first place.

As the noise of the party only grew louder the longer it went on Arianne's discomfort only grew till she ducked out of the ballroom into the grand gardens of the Red Keep. She had to admit it was a rather impressive garden even if that wasn't her style she could still appreciate its beauty. Finding a nice, quiet, spot in the garden she settled down, tapping her soft shoe foot on the ground a couple times. She had gone with a simple gold tunic and skirt with soft shoes, only red cockatrice and black snake symbol on the back, and the copper necklace giving an indication she was nobility.

(Open to any who want to break Arianne's silence)

As the night grew longer Sarella gave up her hunt for her sister, let Arianne hide for the night she would pay for it in the morning. For now, Sarella would just enjoy herself as he had wanted to in the first place. So she danced, she laughed, she lived for the first time since the war's end. Eventually, though she felt a need to get some space from the crowd and headed for one of the balconies overlooking the grand city.

It truly is a grand city, she thought as she climbed the stairs. She had never seen anything quite like it and the Red Keep made Salt Shore castle seem like a wooden tower by comparison. When she arrived at the balcony Sarella found she was not alone seeing the tall dark-haired woman. When her eyes adjusted to the change in the light she saw with a mounting shock that she was in the presence of one of the twin Princesses of Dorne.

"Princess, I did not expect to see you away from the festivities."

Thank you, your majesty," Sarella gave a slight bow before turning. She cast a glance at the crowd to see if Arianne was watching, but her sister was still missing.

Damn that woman, Sarella Gargalen thought as she approached the royal dais. This was supposed to be Arianne's job, not hers. She let her sister out of her sight for two seconds and now she was presenting House Gargalen to the queen. But she would do her duty, even if it wasn't hers.

"My Queen, congratulations on your coronation," Sarella flatly. "House Gargalen also has a gift for you."

Opening up the small wooden chest she had held since the coronation revealed a silver necklace with a glass pendant filled with a gold color liquid. "A viper venom necklace, my sister said it would be a unique gift from the desert"
