Yrianna Lannister was standing at the edge of the balcony. She loved looking at the sea. Casterly Rock was a beautiful place. A great place for a child to grow up. Lannisport looked so big to her when she was a kid she was afraid to look down. Her father used to pick her in his arms and she would cling hard and hide in there. She would hear him say how all of this was hers, that one day, all of this would belong to her. It always seemed so so far away.

Then the war happened, Robert's rebellion, her sister Cersei married him and became the queen, Jaime had joined the Kingsguard already, and so life at the Rock was a bit less horrible. Her father, brilliant, intimidating, the most powerful man in the Kingdoms was a bitter man. Her brother Tyrion, the only one who never frowned and was certain for his love, told her that it wasn't always like that. Before Joanna, their mother, died giving birth to her, he was different. Smiled more. He loved Yrianna, that she knew. She felt it. But she felt that every time he looked at her he saw what it cost him for her to be alive and well. Cersei despised her. She wasn't afraid to show it. She hated Yrianna and the feelings were quite mutual. Jaime didn't share his twin's feelings. He taught his little sister how to fight, which was something they both had in common and excelled. One more thing for Cersei to hate in her.

The years passed, she visited the Capital twice after her father politely forced her. She spent her years in the Rock as the Lady of Casterly Rock, a title of her father's creation. The two of them lived quite harmonically away from Kings Landing. Tyrion travelled (and whored as her father usually comment) a lot. She had never married. Her father thought of her too good (or too bad in her opinion) for anyone.

''He is keeping you for his old age'' Tyrion teased her. He wasn't very wrong. Though she didn't want to be sold to anyone to marry and have children just for the cause alone. There were boys growing up that had stolen a kiss or two or a touch but nothing more because when your big brother's reputation overcomes kingdoms who would dare anything more?

So Yrianna Lannister at the age of 21,lady of Casterly Rock, was ready to dive from the balcony from pure and utter boredom. Alone at the huge castle, with her father now away as well to advise her vicious nephew how to rule, her siblings also there, seriously thought of throwing herself off the cliffs.''No one would notice anyway'' she thought. She was conveniently forgotten here. Moments later her maid called for her ''Lady Yrianna! A raven from your father!''

Oberyn Martell left for Kings Landing with one single purpose. To avenge his sister's death. And to kill as many Lannister as he could before he was killed. He knew in the back of his mind that it was the most probable outcome if revenge was his plan. When the invitation for the royal wedding arrived he put all his effort and charm to persuade his older brother to attend the wedding in his place. Since the news of his sister's death had reached his ears there wasn't a day that had passed not planning to avenge her. Even the sound of the Lannister name made him cringe with hate.

His plan wasn't well thought through. But he wasn't married, he hadn't fathered children and most importantly no one waited him somewhere. He had arranged via letters to stay in Littlefinger's brothel so he wouldn't have to do the distance every day from the palace and back. Everything seemed to be in place in his mind. Everything he had thought of at least...

Yrianna read the piece of parchment from her father again and again. It was like water was splashed on her face. ''Jayne, pack out things. We are going to the Capitol...'' she said to her maid with a smirk. She didn't know why but a feeling was pulsing in her stomach. A feeling of change.

Hello everyone! If you went to the trouble to click my story and read it my many thanks are in order! This is (I believe a bit obviously) my first fan fiction. Oberyn was by far the most intriguing character and I got really really upset with his arc.

The story is as you've already understood set in the beginning of series 4.

Disclaimer: I owe nothing from the Game of Thrones. Yrianna's character is my creation
