A Storm of Swords – Lightbringer

A Storm of Swords – Lightbringer

Maester Aemon asks to “see” Stannis’s sword, Lightbringer. He is impressed.

When I first read this scene I was taken in. Assuming that due to Maester Aemon’s Targaryen blood, he perceived something the rest of us didn’t. This is why I always have to read the entire chapter when I do these pictures.

When I got to the second scene I found that I was in a Maester Aemon mystery episode with Sam being the Archie Goodwin to Aemon’s Nero Wolfe.

On a small side note, I just realized that somewhere in the last five pictures of him, I started drawing Sam as a young Oliver Hardy.

“I see it now, Sam. A sword full of sunlight. So lovely to behold.” The old man bowed stiffly. “Your Grace. My lady. This was most kind of you.”
