Chapter 1. HOUSE CLEGANE

House Clegane is a vassal house that holds fealty to House Lannister of Casterly Rock. Their lands are southeast of Casterly Rock and consist of a small patch of land and a modest house. They are landed knights rather than a full noble house, but have strong ties to the Lannisters. The founder of House Clegane is the grandfather of Gregor and Sandor, who served as the kennel master at Casterly Rock. While accompanying Lord Tytos Lannister on an excursion, they were attacked by a lioness. He rescued his master, losing three dogs and a leg in the process, and was awarded lands and title for his actions.

The Bloodline of House Clegane dates back to the days of Lann the Clever. It is said of the children of house Clegane that they are unnatural, freaks of nature possessing inhuman strength, unnatural stature, and unmatched bloodlust. Legends say that an ancestor of theirs was raped by a giant and every so often the old blood rears its head.

At present the family is ruled by Jordan Clegane of Clegane's Keep. He married Ester Serrett of Silverhill. Their first son Gregor weighed 15lbs at birth. By the time he was 3 Gregor was four feet tall. A second son was born to the second generation lord that third year of Gregor's life. Weighing at 14lbs they named him Sandor. Of the two brothers Jordan loved Gregor the most and spent the most time with. Both boys were very gifted with weapons at an early age.

Of the two Clegane children Gregor was the meanest. One day he caught his brother playing with a toy knight. Gregor takes Clegane and holds his head in the fire place. It took weeks for the boy to heal from the burns to his face and the Maester was able to save his eye. Ester wanted Gregor punished severely but his father covered up the incident.

A year later Lady Ester died trying to give birth to a daughter. The baby died as well and Jordan was left alone to raise his sons. Two years afterward while touring his lands a young beautiful maiden caught Lord Jordan Ckegane's eyes. He married and a year later they had a daughter they named Tara Clegane. Of course Gregor hated his new stepmother and never missed an opportunity to disrespect her. Sandor was more accepting of his new stepmother and Tara his baby sister.

When she was born Tara weighed 13lbs. By the time she was 3 Tara was four feet two inches tall. The apple of her father's eye mainly because Tara liked riding horses like a man. Shooting arrows and learning the sword. She would even go hunting with her father and older brothers. On her second hunting trip Tara killed a deer and gutted it herself. She was five and stood at five feet six inches already.

Every morning Tara would practice her calisthenics, the bow, the sword, hand to hand combat, the spear, knife throwing, and the quarter staff. By the time she was nine years old Tara started growing breasts which got the attention of the boys living at the Keep. Of course none of them were worthy of her attention as she was taller or just as tall and she could best them in anything they dared to challenge her to for a kiss, a look at her breasts, or to feel them. When she wasn't practicing weapons with Sword-master Eagen Tara was studying languages, battle strategies, or the major and minor houses of Westeros.

Her mother Adeline often voiced her objections to Tara's upbringing. Arguing that she should spend more time learning to be a lady than a fighter. At the age of twelve her elder brother Gregor returned home after squiring for Lord Swyft of Cornfeild. Tara had a pet snake so Gregor stole the snake and cut it up for fish bate. Angry Tara stole Gregor's sword and went to the stables where she cut the legs off Gregor's favorite horse. She painted a snake in blood on the stable walls. When Gregor returned home he was infuriated.

"What the hell were you thinking?" Her father screamed.

She pointed at Gregor, "You let that animal get away with everything…Disrespecting my mother! Burning Sandor's face!"

That is when Jordan walks up to her and slaps her face, "I am the lord of this house! And I decide what is right!"

"Little bitch!" Gregor said.

That night Jordan was getting undressed for bed, "My lord!" Adeline said in the most humble voice she could manage. In one argument Adeline voiced her opinion to Jordan and he in anger told her…("You need to remember your place…Being married to me does not erase the fact that you were a bar made…") Jordan apologized, but from that moment on Adeline always said My Lord when she had something serious to say.

He sighs, "I see you haven't forgiven me yet…"

"Oh I have forgiven you…But I have not forgotten your words to me." She places her hand on his broad shoulder. "Please send Tara away."

He looks at her, "Why?"

"I am afraid of what Gregor will do to my little girl…"

Jordan huffs, "Little!"

"You know what I mean…Gregor is your favorite child…You love Sandor…and you love Tara, but she is second in your heart…And if Gregor hurts my daughter over a horse I swear I will kill him! And you will kill me! And it all will be brushed under the rug like when Gregor hurt Sandor…"

He kisses her on the lips, "Sleep my love…" Jordan lies with his back to his wife. Adeline is right, but where can he send Tara. She needed to go to a place where she could learn to be a lady, but keep her edge as a warrior.
