A.N :All right expect some OC's down the road
EDWYN
The snow was settling showing that the long summer is beginning to end and the wind was blowing over his strong face and his sandy hair he was on the one of the many peaks in the vale looking at his home the eyrie for the first time in six years. Seeing it Edwyn felt happy as he is finally home. Ed was fostered at winterfell under Eddard Stark after whom he was named by his father Jon Arryn. His father felt that King's landing is not a good place for his son to grow up and asked Lord Stark to foster him at winterfell who has accepted eagerly so that he could repay his father, Jon Arryn for everything he had done for him. Even though Ed disliked the idea of going to winterfell he know realized it was a good thing as many memories and fun he had with Robb and Jon like the time when they all pranked the maids by throwing rats and lizards and laugh at their screams and replacing the swords of guards with their wooden ones and watching them curse and try to find them before they were punished while they were playing with those swords in the godswood "the three demons" they were called by the people of winterfell. With a smile on his face Ed began to descend thinking if he could beat his men to the road where they camped and towards his lady wife.
Edwyn was huffing and puffing questioning himself whether the race down the mountain was worth it by the time he reached the camp and soon Ed realized something was wrong as soon as he entered the men were just somber and his lady wife was waiting for him outside the camp Ed frowned "she never does that usually she just practices with her bow and arrows" as Ed went towards his lady wife she approached him and spoke the words that filled him with huge grief and he felt like as if hot steel has burned through his heart and he just stood there and hugged his lady wife for her comfort she knowing that he never needed it more than now she just stood there and hugged him back letting him know this is not the end. "I will not let you down father" was his lost thoughts before he blacked out due to exhaustion and mental stress.
OBERYN
The red viper was making his way through the water gardens to his brother Prince Doran with a letter from a raven that just arrived from kings landing. Looking at the prince 's angry face everyone parted and made way for him. He approached his brother and ruler of Dorne Prince Doran only to be stopped by his brother's guard Areo Hotah "I need to speak with him allow me this is important" he bellowed. "The prince doesn't want to be disturbed" was the calm reply he got. "Allow him" calmly stated Prince Doran. Oberyn walked past him and produced the letter to his brother "The hand is dead the childkiller has gone north to get Lord Stark as his new hand" he explained "what is wrong with that people die all the time and hands are no exception he was old and he died" calmly answered his brother . "The problem is the Starks are stealing our position it is dorne that should rule the small council it was ours until they came and destroyed the dragons we should get out there and show them that the power of Dorne has not fallen and we need to avenge our Aegon" angrily announced Oberyn. "I understand your anger Oberyn but don't you remember who saved our sweet sister and niece brother if not for the Starks they would have been butchered like our poor Aegon" stated Prince Doran "I understand brother forgive me but the time is ripe we need to come out again and seek justice against the Lannisters for plotting to kill our family the new hand will definitely make changes and we need to be there to sieze it" the Red Viper stated. "yes maybe it's time after all you will go and represent Dorne in king's landing and keep your head down and inform me about everything in the court and when I ask you to do something you do it without question". Prince doran finished the last part in a determination he never heard come from him in the last twenty years not since the gout had taken the toll on him. But as Oberyn turned around in shock and leaving prince Doran stated "Before you leave come to me I will tell you who you need to take with you and what you need to do" and "what exactly do I need to do" he asked. "Alliances have to be made with the other great houses and plots have to be made to tumble the stag on top I will not accept any failures in the game we are about to play you better be as ready as you think you are the moment you accept it you can't turn back understood? ." He finished with the same steel he used earlier which made Oberyn uneasy and just nodded .Oberyn silently walked to his quarters unnerved by his brother as he knew Doran wasn't the one to go back on his word that man's body may have gone to hell but his brain has not deserted him like his wife and he silently prepared for his journey to the snake nest.
Joffrey
Even after two weeks into the journey Joffrey still couldn't see why in seven hells his father had to go to Starks and travel through the barren and frozen land they call home for a new hand. He is the king! Couldn't he just order those stupid and savage Starks to come to him? Joffrey then went to see his mother to ask how many more days before they reach the knew His mother was in the wheel house with his stupid and foolish brother and sister and walked towards it with his dog in tow.
"Why couldn't father just order them to come south he is the king" Joffrey bellowed. "The Starks are an ancient, proud and one of the most powerful families of westeros my lion and also their lord is your father's best friend and he wants to honor him with his visit before asking him to be his hand". His mother calmly stated. Of course Joffrey Knew she was referring to Ned Stark, the avenging wolf. He smirked at that the man couldn't even protect his family in his own backyard from the iron born and father wants to make him hand the hand of the king. He put the ironborn buisiness aside as it was an unpleasant business leaving his betrothed that he barely knew dead along with several thousand iron born due to the war and declared to his mother "that's stupid when I am the king I will not be go to anyone they will come to me and they will do what I say" he stated. "Why would they do that" Cersei calmly asked. "Because I am the KING!AND THE KING WILL HAVE WHAT HE WANTS" he shouted. "What will you do if they revolt like your father" his mother asked. Joffrey just stated "I will kill them all and don't you dare question me again mother" Joffrey bellowed and stormed out. "When I become the king I will make sure the Starks know to fear me no one will be above the king" he vowed to himself
A.N I KNOW THAT THE STARKS HAVE NOT MADE APPEARANCE YET BUT THE NEXT CHAPTER WILL TAKE US DIRECTLY TO ONE OF THE STARKS AND WILL BE WITH FLASHBACKS AS I WANT TO RE BUILD NED'S IMAGE AS A MAN OF TWO FACES.
