Chapter 9
Harrenhall, Riverland's 281 AC
It at been six days since the attack, six days since Brandon beet Robert black and blue and for two days Tyrion sat by Lyanna's bed in the Walling Tower.
Tyrion had not slept nor eaten he sat by her side unmoving, Maester Tothmure was able to heal Lyanna but she would carry the scars of the attack for the rest of her life.
As Tyrion continued to look up at the pale women as the door of the room opened.
'Is there any change' a male voice asked
Tyrion turned around to the speaker and answer but stopped as he had come face-to-face with Eddard Stark, Robert friend and the one responsible for the betrothal between the drunkard brute and Lyanna.
''no Lyanna still sleeps'' Tyrion answered,
Eddard nodded and moved to the bedside, the two didn't speak to each other they watched Lyanna slept.
Eventually, the quietness of the room was broken by Eddard
'I do not trust you' Tyrion looked up from Lyanna and faced Eddard
'it was because of you and your action that my sister now lies here with a sword wound and you leave her alone.'
Tyrion began to laugh at him ''you blame him for this'' he asked
'yes' Eddard replied
''well you are wrong in your blame, I am not a friend of Robert Baratheon nor was I fostered with him in the Vale, that is you and it is your actions that lead to an attack against Lyanna no one else you are nothing but a pawn to used and discarded little more.
Eddard moved in front of Tyrion 'now see hear you little' before Eddard could finish the door opened again revealing Brandon in the doorway
'what are you doing here Eddard' he asked,]
'I was coming to check up on Lyanna and found him here, I was kindly asking Tyrion to leave' Eddard answered.
'is that true Tyrion' Brandon asked
''yes it is true that Eddard was asking me to leave but, that is not all Eddard was about to threaten me before you entered the room '' Tyrion answered
'is this true Eddard' Brandon asked turning to face him,
Eddard did not answer 'your silence condemns you to leave' Brandon said
'what' Eddard replied,
Brandon moved in front of his younger brother and threw him against the wall pinning him up against it.
'if there is blame to befall anyone in this incident it is you Eddard, you who became friends with that drunkard Brute Robert, you who helped organize the betrothal no one else, you have become a pawn brother who serves at the whims of others'.
'I am no one's pawn' Eddard replied before being pushed out of the room.
'yes you are a pawn of the game' Brandon answered Closing the door on Eddard.
Brandon sighed and turned around to face Tyrion
''is that true what you said'' he asked
'what' ''that you do not blame me for what happened to Lyanna''
'it is true I do not blame you Tyrion, in fact, I approve of your friendship to Lyanna because this the happiest I have seen her since your mother died'' Brandon answered
''how so'' Tyrion asked
'my father has always a cold man when our mother lived, he lived with two faces one for the people and one for his family but, our mother fell ill and what was two men became one my father started to begrudge everyone including us. But by the time our mother passed my father was as cold as the winter, I was sent to Lord Dustin in Barrowton for fostering, Eddard to Jon Arryn in the Vale when I returned after a year away and found all the joy of Winterfell gone as well as the innocence of Benjin and Lyanna childhood'' Brandon answered
'but what of you' he asked Tyrion
''what of me'' Tyrion replied
' I have just learned the existence of this game of thrones is Lyanna at risk of your Father, I have heard talk of your father wanting to kill you to stop you become coming lord of the rock and warden of the West so I ask you is Lyanna safe'
Tyrion sighed he knew of his father disliking of him and Brandon had every right to ask if Lyanna was in danger
''Lyanna is in no danger though he as a disliking for me I doubt that he would harm Lyanna''
'are you sure' Brandon asked
''I am sure my father won't risk the wrath of the North,'' Tyrion responded,
'or the Riverlands and maybe the Vale' Brandon replied
''yes, I suppose you are right in that regard being betrothed to Caitlyn Tully and the fostage of your brother may bring the Vale'' Tyrion answered
The two-remand quiet for a time watching Lyanna sleep, as the day turned in tonight Tyrion began to fell the strain of being up for two days and he slowly felt himself fall into the land of dreams
'Tyrion' he heard his name being called 'Tyrion, Lord Lannister' at the second time Tyrion awoke to find himself across from Maester Creylen in the Lord's solar of Casterly Rock.
he began to view the room it may be the Lord solar but it did not have the look or feel it, it felt more welcoming then his fathers more homely as he viewed the room stopped for above the fireplace atop a mantle was Brightroar his family sword back were it belongs as he looked at the sword Maester Creylen court his attention
'are you feeling ok Tyrion' he asked
''yes I am shale we continue '' Tyrion replied
before Master Creylen could answer the was a knock at the door
''enter'' he called
and in came women, not just a woman but Lyanna she entered the solar and closed the door and all Tyrion could do is stare at her.
'this is where I leave you lord Lannister' Maester said rising from the chair
'lady Lannister' he said to Lyanna leaving the solar.
Lyanna moved towards him ''has something court your eye husband'' Lyanna asked
Tyrion was unable to answer and Lyanna laughed at him 'I will take as a yes' Lyanna before moving beside him and kiss him,
Tyrion cupped her cheek and kissed her back as he did Tyrion heard the sound of laughter of children 'there comes trouble' Lyanna said
turning to face the door, but as the door opened smoke came in Tyrion left himself a cough and choke and fell to the floor.
Tyrion grasped for breath and looked around to see where he was,
he found himself in Lyanna room again with Brandon asleep in the corner a smell of smoke was in the room and so Tyrion turned to open a window to let the smell out as he did Tyrion observed the morning sun the dream he had left all to real a sine from the gods or something from his imagination he did not know,
as the sound of Harrenhall came alive Tyrion to the two Starks how were both still sleeping walking towards them Tyrion felt his stomach turn have not eaten or washed in six days made for the exit as he entered the hall he heard a cough and a banging sound going back into the room he saw Lyanna awake and on the floor coughing before he could think he moved to her side.
