Story takes place over episodes 7 – 8 of season 4.
Tyrion looks up as he hears his cell door open and the approach of heavy footsteps. Expecting his brother or possibly even Bron, but he draws back as he see's an unrecognisable figure before him. As the figure approaches Tyrion's heart begins to pound as he is confronted by a man standing very well over 6 foot tall with a god like body bronzed muscular body and long flowing black hair but his most interesting feature is his ice blue eyes. The man pulls out a stool to sit down while Tyrion gulps nervously trying to show now signs of fear.
"Crom! You are not the monster as they say you are". Tyrion pauses looking nervously but the man replies "Don't be scared. If I wanted to kill you I would have already" the mysterious man says. Tyrion sits back down and says "What a pity I would have thought that my beloved sister could not wait a day longer to have me killed. But tell me who are you. I don't know your name nor your face but I have the strangest feeling we have met". The man leaned closer and said "My name is Conan. Conan of Cimmeria".
Tyrion paused for a few seconds and said "Cimmeria! But how"? Conan answered "So then you do know about my village. You do know about the slaughter of my people. It was your father that ordered the execution. And so I have lived in your city for weeks now, learning, listening so that I can get my revenge on you Lannister scum".
"So let me guess Cimmerian" Tyrion said. " You offer to free me in exchange for that I help you kill my father. As much as I wish to see his head on a pike that will not be at all possible. Hell we would not even make it halfway down the corridor I can assure you. But I must admit it gives me great pleasure to meet another who hates my family almost as much as I do myself".
Conan laughed and said "You dare speak to me like I am some dumb barbarian! Let me explain something to you Imp. Months ago I was on an adventure of the seas. I sailed to the Iron Islands with my fellow Cimmerians to trade. But they tried to trick us and trade turned into combat. Those fools had clearly never crossed a Cimmerian if they proposed to fight us. When I returned I saw the whole village burned to ashes and nothing but dead bloodied corpses everywhere. I spent hours upon hours searching for a living soul until I finally found one man half breathing. He told me it was the Lion banner the soldiers carried. They stormed our city out of nowhere with horses far as the eye could see all while our warriors were on an expedition".
Tyrion replied "My dear Conan I am awfully sorry to hear this but; "I haven't finished" Conan growled and continued on. "That was not the worst of it. As he lay dying in my arms, Miklos told me of Valeria. Valeria who was to be my wife. She taken by the biggest man on the field. A man they called the Mountain. He told me that the mountain took her against her will. I was not there but I can hear her voice yelling as he beat her till she couldn't move. I was told that once he was done he raped her to his pleasure then finally he killed her. So you see my vengeance will not begin with your father. It will begin with the mountain. I will fight for you and I will kill him".
After a moments pause Tyrion approached Conan and said "I thank you my dear Cimmerian but have you actually seen Ser Gregor Clegane. He is no less then two heads taller than and I have personally seen him rap a man in half. Surely you look like a man of strength but against Ser Gregor you cannot be serious"
Conan stood up and said "I have fought bigger and I have won and I have yet to meet one who can match my skills with the sword". As he left Tyrion awed at Conan's amazing physique and yelled out "At least promise me you'll wear a helmet. And armour".
