While The Beast Sleeps...

The working table,

grows

 

steadily

busier

And all the while,

 The beast,

Sleeps...

A Truly Northern Maiden

You are Arya of Winterfell,

daughter of the North.

You told me you could be strong.

You have the wolf blood in you.

                    Ned Stark “A Clash of Kings” —George R.R. Martin 

My interpretation of George R.R. Martin's "A Game Of Thrones" character Arya Stark. She's been submitted for consideration in a literary character challenge, so keep your fingers crossed for me...
