Tyrion was sitting next to the fire watching the flames dance. He then looked up at the moon. He thought about his family, and how their latest double cross had branded him a traitor. Even his father turned his back, and now he had no one. A rustling in the forest in front of him drew his attention back down. He was looking past the fire, and saw an outline of a person.
"Who's out there? Show yourself now." Said Tyrion.
"I see your deep in thought." Said Lana.
"Who are you?" Tyrion asked.
"Someone who can change your destiny; my name is Lana." Said Lana.
"How could you do that?" Tyrion asked.
"Would you like to be king?" Lana asked.
Tyrion asked how that could happen, and Lana pulled out of her satchel, a pendant. She gave the pendant to him, and he merely looked at it. He then asked about the pendant. Lana told him that the pendant would assure loyalty from her guards. Tyrion then asked what he was to do with it. Lana told him to take it back to Kings Landing. Tyrion started to protest, but Lana continued to say that there are those who will know the pendant, and protect him. He looked into her eyes, and saw that she was telling him the truth. Tyrion then put the pendant around his neck, and said he would set out in the morning. Once that was settled; Lana stayed to enjoy the fire some more before she got going on her way. When the sun rose, and Tyrion woke; he noticed that Lana was gone. He had some food, and got on his horse to go back to Kings Landing.
It was about midday when Tyrion came across a group of armed guards. When Tyrion got closer, he counted nine, and three of them caught sight of him. The guards came up to Tyrion, and surrounded him. Four of the nine men stayed back, they knew the pendant that the man on horseback was wearing.
"Lord Tyrion Lannister; you are under arrest. Get down off your horse." Said Bastian.
"No." said Tyrion.
"Then we'll remove you." Said Bastian.
The five guards were about to move towards Tyrion, but four of them stopped. Bastian turned to see his men not following. He then noticed the other four men behind had their swords drawn.
"You dare commit treason against your king." Said Bastian.
"We are not committing treason, because our king is sitting atop that horse." Said Allan.
Bastian just stood there gaping at the man, but he soon recovered. He then drew his sword, and charged at the group. Allan had known this would happen, so he pulled the man in front of him to the left. Bastian's sword plunged into the man's gut. Bastian watched as one of his comrades slowly died in front of him. Allan watched the rage in the man's eyes grow, and he again charged at them. After the clanging of swords, and screams; Allan and the three men with him were still standing. Allan then walked up to Tyrion.
"We know the pendant you wear, and we are loyal to the clan who gave it to you. Since you were given the pendant we are loyal to you, and you alone." Said Allan.
"Thank you; now I think we should get back to Kings Landing." Said Tyrion.
"Of course." Said Allan.
The four guards got two men on each side of the horse, and then they were off. As they were going to down the path, they met up with six more guards. Four of the guards seen the pendant that the man wore, and knew what to do. They drew their swords, and surrounded the other two guardsmen. Tyrion watched the two that were surrounded, he knew that they would try something, and he was right. The two pulled their swords, and before they could swing their swords; they were run through.
"Hopefully we won't have any more trouble till we get to Kings Landing." Said Tyrion.
The men all murmured their agreement, and they continued. They were a days ride away from Kings Landing. When dusk fell several hours later; Tyrion called for them to stop for the night. As three men went off to gather firewood, three men took first watch, the last two had gone to hunt for some meat. Once darkness fell; the fire was ablaze, four rabbits were roasting over the fire. Four of the guardsmen were standing guard, while the other four ate with Tyrion. As the guards went to change, so the guards that were standing guard could eat, they heard movement from the forest. All eight watched with their swords drawn. Tyrion stood, and walked towards the fire.
"Come out of hiding, and show yourself." Said Tyrion.
