[A Song of Ice and Fire]: Eulogy
Title: Eulogy
Fandom: A Song of Ice and Fire
Summary: For sakru909. Robb, boy turned man. Drabble.
A year ago, Robb thought grimly as he picked his way through the bodies sprawled on the muddied earth, he had turned fourteen. Winterfell had been the extent of his world, and the extent of his dangers falling and bruising himself. A year ago, he might have given his birthday wish - a silly tradition started by Sansa - for a real sword, or a day without sums.
A lot changed in a year.
Robb paused and bent down, turning a man gently over, thinking he’d heard a gasp of air. Nothing; blood ran out of the man’s mouth and onto Robb’s shoes, and he pick up a handful of snow and scrubbed it off.
Now he wasn’t certain what he would give his birthday wish for. Safety for his siblings? Victory in the war? Revenge for his father, or death to the Lannisters?
The world was so much more complicated than he had ever thought, and a real sword was much heavier.
He wanted to go back to playing hide and seek in the godswood at Winterfell.
But he was his father’s son. He would go on. He would always go on.
