I don't own Game of Thrones.
Prologue
"Lord Lannister"
"My lady Karstark."
"I see the war is over."
"Your bleeding?"
"Heh, I'm dying."
"The child?"
"A girl. It's pity that I won't be here to watch her grow."
"The new king wants all Targaryen dead…"
"No! You still owe me a debt."
"My lady..."
"After your son humiliated me by disappearing from our wedding day to join the Kingsguard, you told me yourself that if there anything that I need or want you will pay the debt ten times full."
"….I did. I'm sorry for what has happened to you. If only my foolish son would…"
"It doesn't matter. Oddly enough he doesn't seem mad to me. He didn't force me or hit me like his wife. I guess he yearn some sort of compassion that he missed. He kept me from returning home and acted calm and free when I was in the Maiden vault with him. King Aerys came to me and he would act like a man that he would stay by me and I would sing him lots of songs and I would let his grace sleep on my lap that he yearn for years. Your debt is to protect my daughter. Raised her and care for her. That is your debt that will be paid."
"What's her name?"
"Her name is given by her father. She was name Princess Elaena Targaryen. But the name that I want to give her is Eleanor."
"Forgive me, Lady Karstark."
"I know. I just wished that the time was different that's all."
"Eleanor!" Tyrion Lannister called out to her. "Eleanor!"
He waddles towards her, but stop in a halt by none other than Lann with rip pieces of cloth in his mouth.
"Oh good Gods, Lann! Drop it! Droooop it." Tyrion scolded the lion like he was a misbehave puppy, but Lann ignored him.
The lion went to his mistress. This is a big land of sanctuary for the lions to run around and enjoys the opened sun. Many of the lions and lioness aren't bothered by Tyrion presence. It was because their Mother demanded to leave him be.
Many called Lady Eleanor the Mother of Lions.
Eleanor is quite the beauty and with wave, curls of black hair and purple eyes. She is quite enchanting that many sought her out.
"So, this is what Lord Marbrand stormed off for." Tyrion looked at her amused by the notion.
"Oh brother, Lann was just playing with him." Eleanor said as she cooed Lann. "Weren't you, Lann? You were just playing that overly dressed Lord Marbrand."
Lann just purred at her touch. Eleanor noticed that Tyrion looked at her with a raised eyebrow.
"Sweet sister, not that I am against that you are chasing away the suiters that you don't like, but sadly our beloved father is growing weary over who would take your hand in marriage. After the entire legacy…"
"Legacy it's what you pass down to your children, and your children's children." Eleanor and Tyrion quoted together.
Eleanor walked around to cuddle one of the cubs that are starting to explore around.
"Yet the talk of legacy is all wrong." Eleanor told her brother.
Tyrion explained it to her, "But sadly as long as father is alive then he will do it with or without your consult."
"Tyrion, I already hated that father is asking the King to legitimize me as Lannister and making me do this. If I wanted to marry, I want to marry for love." Eleanor smiled and petted the cub as it purred her. Tyrion looked at her sadly and happy at Eleanor's words. When their father brought her home from the Rebellion and called her his bastard sister, he felt pleased knowing that he wasn't going to be alone in Casterly Rock. She was always pure joy to him and taught her everything he can to teach her the Game of Thrones despite how much she hated it, but she is quite a good player.
"Eleanor…it's not just our father's orders." He gentled took the cub and gave it back to its mother. "Father is not going to be around forever and many would be unkind to know that I won't be able to protect you if there cruel man that may harm you. Just so they have a chance to claim our home. I agree that perhaps if you are married than I could felt at ease knowing that you wedded to a good man."
Eleanor signed again and walked by to the stone by the water hole pool on the side.
"Please try to understand. I haven't done a thing on my own. I haven't made a single friend."
Lann looked at her insulted in his eyes and growled.
"Accept you, Lann and the whole pride." Eleanor smiled.
Lann is satisfied about her answers and went back lying down.
"I had never been outside of Casterly Rock and go further away here. How am I supposed to know things like the people and all the news from them?"
"Eleanor you are father's precious daughter and he is ruler of Casterly Rock and Warden of the west." Tyrion said in a stern voice.
"Then maybe I don't want to be his daughter anymore!" Eleanor turned away in anger.
"Ooh, I. I couldn't help, but wonder that your daughter of cubs gave you any trouble than it is." Tyrion said to Lann as the lion look up at him. Tyrion walked away back to home. Tyrion could see that she inherited their father's stubbornness, but then again once father set up his mind. He sticks to it.
"Hmmm." Lann gave him a confused look.
Eleanor looked at the field of birds as the cubs playfully readily itself to pounce at his prey. The cub pounced, but the birds flew away from that action. She watched them flew away into the skies. Freedom. That's all she ever wanted. But her father kept her lock away in Casterly Rock and only brought her up on special occasions. Many would say because she is father's favorite child, but he would never give her what she wanted. No one will. She heard Lann snarled and growled at something. Eleanor saw what he was growling at.
Cersei Lannister is sneering down on her. Eleanor knew why, but this made her believe that she was somewhat grateful over Tywin's protection. He will protect her from everyone including his own daughter. Cersei left from her sight.
Eleanor has always tries to see the light and the dark in the people, but Cersei on the other hand. All she saw in Cersei is complete darkness and no light at all.
Eleanor has almost forgotten that the Cersei and her children came to visit Casterly Rock.
It's a good thing that they are leaving today. However, she never talks to them because Tywin has made sure that she stays by his side every chance they had.
Eleanor said goodbye to the whole pride and being escorted back to the hall by the assigned guard of Tywin Lannister. She knows that Lann is a king among the lions and is already the father of 26 cubs already.
The people would say that she is the jewel of Casterly Rock.
How can she be a jewel?
The only she kept company is Joy Hill another fellow bastard girl that she would allow to be with. Tyrion her brother or many called him Imp.
"Hello, Joy." Joy ran to her and hugs her waist. Ten years old, all Lannister look with her golden mane tied in a long braid and emerald eyes.
Joy Hill is her uncle Gerion child and she adores her like a little sister. If she does get marry she hopes to keep Joy with her as her lady in waiting.
"How are the lions?" Joy asked as she held her hand.
"They are wonderful and Lann had just had one of the lionesses pregnant again and the other of his cubs are exploring already."
Now Casterly Rock doesn't put lions in the cages down below their home anymore since she provided a place to put them there by getting in favors and reducing the debts a bit.
Her father was quite please, but he expected that he was notified of her plans.
"Go on Joy will be having our talks tomorrow it's getting late." Eleanor told Joy as the little nodded. Eleanor gave her kissed on the cheek and Joy returned them to her.
She went into the chamber that displays her father's banner sigil of a lion and desk of her papers and quills neatly on top of it.
Eleanor changes into her night dress and put on the shawl to cover her. She stares at the night where the moon shines and stars are showing brightly tonight.
Eleanor wished that she knew what she wanted and how to get there. Eleanor begins to sing.
If only I knew what my heart was telling me
Don't know what I'm feeling
Is this just a dream?
Uh oh, yeah
If only I could read the signs in front of me
I could find the way to who I'm meant to be
Uh oh, If only
If only...
Eleanor shed one tear on her cheek as it fallen on the balcony of her chamber.
So what you think? Tywin Lannister has the Targaryen in his grasped and soon everyone would want her hand. The song came from Descendants 2 movie that Mal sing "If only" reprise. Bring in your reviews and pm me. Also, what paired should I give her.
