The last light of a dying day stretched the shadows of Harrenhal's twisted towers into long, grasping fingers. Harra stood unmoving on the highest parapet, a figure carved from the same dark stone. Her black armor, detailed with sinuous krakens, drank the pale glow of the emerging stars. Far below, the gathered host of the Targaryen pretender waited in silence. A cutting wind moaned through the iron gates, bearing his offer of vassalage up to her ears. She did not blink. Her empty, resolute eyes remained fixed on the horizon, as cold and unyielding as the foundations of her fortress.
