WHEEL IN THE SKY

'for those who have nothing'

Prologue

I remember when I was a little girl, my Mother would often take me to the side and give me life advice. Even at a very young age she would sit me down and tell me things I probably wouldn't need for many years to come. She would tell me it was because I was 'growing up so fast!', but the reality was I think she knew what kind of life I would lead.

She told me so many things. She taught me that nothing lasts forever, that absolute power is the most corrosive material to humanity, and that we are to respect the curiosities of life.

My Mother also taught me that destiny was a curious thing. We each had a preordained role to play, a list of events we were meant to accomplish. I didn't believe her before. Who would? She believed people were born to die, born to be bad or good.

It was madness to me, this destiny thing, but Mother insisted that no matter what, my destiny would play out how it was expected. She insisted I might not see it at first, and that how I arrived at my destiny and how I left it would entirely depend on what I did along the way. Mother was a strange woman, that was for sure, but she was always an honest and supportive one.

And as I stared down at my target I finally understood what she meant by destiny and all that crap. Took me thirty odd years but I finally had it down pat.

As I pulled back and took aim, I knew in the depths of my heart that this was wrong, this was not my destiny. Yet as I took aim and stared destiny straight in the face, I couldn't help but throw a metaphorical middle finger at it. All my life this so called destiny and done nothing but take. I had given everything to receive nothing, and so I thought it was high time I took something in exchange.

Destiny was waiting for me, but I wasn't waiting for it.

Not today.

I let my arrow fly.

Hey all.

Soooo this story has been on my mind for a very very long time, and I honestly have no idea how it is going to go. This story... is going to be different. it'll be following the whole Game of Thrones cast, but with a for major changes. For starters, OC's. I don't want to give anything away, considering I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing, but I do ask you keep an open mind when reading this story. For starters, it begins in the middle of my OC's journey. Why? Because I wanted to, and it would be a bit more interesting to reveal the story this way.

Oddly enough, most of this story likely won't have a ton of scenes in first person... I think.

We'll see, I will say this story begins in season 1 and goes... well for a pretty long amount of time. Get ready for a very different story with two very different characters.

Buckle up boys, we're in the big leagues now.
