A Storm of Swords – Hostage

A Storm of Swords – Hostage

As the slaughter rages, Catelyn manages to get one hostage the cowering Jinglebell. Unfortunately, Walder Frey is not the best example of a family man.

Here, we have Catelyn’s last desperate stand. It gives her a tiny shred of agency before her end. I tried to do a combination of desperation and defiance.

Since I think he’s as much of a victim as the Northerners are, I also tried to emphasize Jinglebell’s terror.
Also, because of all the things happening, this is the first time I’ve ever shown Catelyn’s hair.

Catelyn grabbed a handful of Jinglebell Frey’s long grey hair and dragged him out of his hiding place. “Lord Walder!” she shouted. “LORD WALDER!” The drum beat slow and sonorous, doom boom doom. “Enough,” said Catelyn. “Enough, I say. You have repaid betrayal with betrayal, let it end.”
