I don't own Game of Thrones.
Chapter 5
Jason Lannister
He trotted his horse forward to make him relax of such a sorrowful day.
Brandon Stark had fallen from the Tower.
If not for Jason Lannister. The boy surely would have died or worse crippled.
Flashback
Jason took a walk with Jon Snow and Ghost.
"Well, I am pleased that you wished to accept my offer, but don't forget you may not like the way I would show or teach you. Are you sure about this?" Jason asked Jon Snow.
He wanted to make sure if he knew what he is capable of.
"Yes. I have been thinking about it. I would like to be your squire."
Jon Snow looked determined but scared.
Jason will have to make do with him.
Ghost ears twitch and ran towards another wolf pup siblings.
It is Bran's unnamed direwolf. He looked like he is sitting and waiting for something.
"That's Bran's wolf," Jon commented. Jason, however, looks cautious and narrows his eyes at the pup.
'If his brother's wolf is here, then where is his owner?' Jason looked around.
"BRANDON!" There he is a boy who had fallen from high in the sky.
Jason looked up and right at a close call, he caught him into that made them both crash to the stones and bruises the crumble on them both.
CRASH! CRUMBLED!
"Lord Jason!" Jon shouted and rush towards them. "BRAN!"
He digs up both of them quickly as he could.
Jason's hand burst out and moved the stones from himself.
Jason looked bloody from his sides but spared Brandon Stark from getting the most damaged except Brandon's leg looked like he gotten caught between the stones.
Jason gasped and said, "Go get the others! That's an order."
Jon hesitated, but Jason forced his hand. "GO!"
Jon ran back to Winterfell to get help.
Jason looked briefly up and noticed something moving up there. 'Someone was up there.' Before he could look up more.
Brandon groaned which made him looked down and notice his red drips from the head.
He tore the sleeves to wrap the young lords bleeding head.
"You will live. No matter what." He whispers as he took notice of the sound of hooves and glad that the household came to their aids.
"HAH!" Jason yelled and moved his horse faster towards the hills until he sees the lands of the North. "Woah." He ordered his horse to stop as he remains at top of the hill.
Why he wanted a clear head.
Well, the King receives news from Lord Lannister himself. Giving details that Jason Lannister had saved the life of his new squire Jon Snow's youngest brother, Brandon Stark. Ire the old lion had received the raven that Tywin's grandson had decided a squire that is a bastard but seems pleased by the events that had happened.
To repay such a debt of saving the boy's life from any danger, but also, Jason injured for it. The House of Stark will present him a bride and dowry paid in full.
Jason already knew his scheme. By taking the second daughter of the house of Stark, his bloodline link to hers will cement any claims to the North if should any other relatives had died somewhere or another.
Taking advantage of this situation into giving him a grand prize and praise from the House of Stark.
"A curse on him. And all the realm for this trivial thing." He hissed at his grandfather. Jason was sick and tired of the servants' gossips and decided to run away a bit before his anger is shown.
Jason knows this seems more of punishment instead of gratitude.
He knows that he isn't the easiest person to get along with or be easily pleased by anything. 'But he thought when he rubbed his face with his hands he looked back at the lands. 'Perhaps, I won't have a boring wife.'
Arya Stark
The kingsroad is long and hard.
Arya sulk and pouted angrily that she had to stay in the carriage with Sansa, Jeyne Poole, and Septa Mordrane.
Arya has to go with her father and the rest of the party because Sansa is engaged to Prince Joffrey, and she is engaged to the Black Lion.
Arya doesn't know what to think.
She remembers how Jason receives wounds from using his body to shield her brother from being crushed by the Broken Tower loose stones.
Rumors and stories go around the castle about his heroic acts into believing he is a scheming lion.
"Lord Jason shielded his own body for the young lord."
"Blessed the Black Lion that he was there before it happened."
"I do believe the Lion is clever, that he uses the opportunity to make himself look good to the Starks."
"Aye, he is cruel like that Old Lion."
Arya was given a story by Jon that Jason was going for a walk with him. When they saw Bran's unnamed direwolf sitting where the Broken tower there. Jason saw Bran fallen form from the tower. Caught him but when his back hits the tower wall it collapses on them. Jason managed to push himself out of them, enough to order Jon to go and get help.
'He is a hero! And I believe in him over stupid rumors.'
In Trident
Arya is excited for this is where King Robert fought against Prince Rhaegar. They say Rhaegar's rubies landed in the rivers and people had been looking for it since then.
She watches as she saw her brother Jon is working hard by making sure everything is in order.
Arya is happy for him.
Slowly realized that if she does marry Jason then Jon will be living with them at Casterly Rock. If things go well, then he can come with her when he is a knight.
"Ick!" Arya gagged at the sight when Sansa is pleased to be invited by Joffrey. She can't understand why he is a prince. He is not much of a warrior or anything for that matter.
"Arya," She heard someone called for her.
It was Jason along with Jon.
"Yes?"
"I was hoping we can talk as we go talk walk if that is alright with you?" Jason questioned which surprised Arya. No doubt he wanted to talk about their new engagement by the King and her father.
"If you take find Rhaegar's Rubies then we can talk." She demanded.
"Arya," Jon hissed.
"Okay." Jason agreed after some thoughts.
So that is where they went with Arya's new friend Micah.
Jon Snow
Jason helped search for the so-called Rubies. Even Jon.
A small glint caught his eye. Jon's rubbed his eyes to make sure he wasn't getting any confusion or seeing problems.
He reaches down and grabs into his full hand.
Jon looked down in his mudding hand. He unclenched his hand and saw the ruby itself. He is not sure that it is a good omen.
Since according to locals, when Rhaegar Targaryen had fallen at the hands of Robert Baratheon. Some say that if you happened to find the Rhaegar's ruby. It means someone or will received blood on themselves or others.
"You found it!" Arya cheered.
Jon gave a ghost smile.
Jason nodded and said, "Well done."
Jon decided to give it to Arya, and she kept it into her good pouch that is tied around her neck.
Arya and Micah played with large sticks as a knight.
Jon stood dutifully as he watches Lord Jason teach Arya and Micah. That until someone shouted out Arya's name. He shouldn't worry about their betrothal. Lord Jason told Jon that he wouldn't want a dull girl as his wife. He told him that Arya was better off without him as her husband.
"ARYA!" Sansa shouted out to Arya.
Jon looked disdained at Joffrey. 'Wait a minute, why is Sansa alone with Prince Joffrey?' Jon knew that their father would not be happy for a fact that they are alone together without guards around.
"What are doing here?! Go away!" He noticed that Jason walked closer to both Micah and Arya.
"Your sister?" Joffrey confirms with Sansa.
"And who are you?"
"Micah, my lord" Micah stuttered.
"He's the butchers' boy," Sansa told Joffrey. Jon never likes her attitude lately since coming to the South. No doubt Joffrey became a bad influencer to Sansa.
"He is my friend!" Arya retorted.
Lord Jason came forward. "Leave. It's nothing, but a children's game." Jon saw Jason signal the back of his hand for Jon to get Arya and Micah away from Joffrey or here.
Did as he was signal to do.
Slowly walking to Arya and Micah to try and lead them away.
"Stop there bastard!" Joffrey shouted. "Where do you think you're taking them?"
Lord Jason answered, "I believed that her Lord Father wished for his party to return to the inn. Surely, that can be allowed."
Prince Joffrey took out his sword. SWISH!
"You know I had a feeling that you don't respect me at all cousins." Prince Joffrey looked at him with crazed eyes.
Jon saw no expression on his face and nonchalantly answered, "Of course not, dear cousin. I respected you as much as I respect the Mad King."
Joffrey raged and charged at Jason which in kind he returned to take out his sword. Ignoring Sansa's protest. Jon quickly grabbed both Arya and Micah away from the fight, but they stood by in awe at Jason's skills that he is not breaking any sweat from fighting Joffrey.
Jon watched and observed both of their skills.
Lord Jason is skilled that can easily outmatch anyone.
Steel clashed as they focus on fighting for their lives. Jon didn't notice Sansa ran back to the Inn to tell King Robert and Lord Stark.
Sansa Stark
Sansa Stark ran in tears.
'They ruined everything!'
She blames Arya but mostly blames Lord Jason Lannister. He truly is a villain after all.
She went and saw her father and King Robert.
"FATHER! FATHER!"
He heard her calling him.
"Sansa, calm down. What has happened?" Her father questions her.
"Lord Lannister…. That monster is attacking my beloved prince!" She sobs, but King Robert just laughs.
"BWAHAHAHA! Looks like that stupid son of mine is attacking the Black Lion." King Robert just laughs more.
King Robert stands up and questions her, "Well, where are they?"
Sansa pointed where they are.
Sansa smiled in hope that king Robert will finally kill that villain! They reach where they are, but her smile turns paled at this scene.
Her beloved prince is beaten bloody as that monster stood over him. Her golden prince's face is bloody with bruised and black or blue bruises in his face.
As that monster was about to raise his fist to punch her prince again. Sansa screams in fear.
"ENOUGH!" King Robert ordered which made him stop.
That monster slightly turned, but his eyes scare her. It was like he is a demon! Lack of empathy or the Stranger's eyes within him.
"He is punished enough! Go and we will deal with this later." King Robert ordered the villain.
"My Lord," Her bastard brother called for him which the Black Lion breathes normally and simply drops her prince on the ground.
"My apologies, we shall wait until being summoned."
King Robert grunted in acceptances.
Sansa went and fussed over her beloved prince.
Sansa's teary eyes glared at the back of that monster.
'I swear justice will punish you, villain!' She got her wished when Queen Cersei is calling Jason Lannister to come before them.
That is until the so-called trial given by Queen Cersei herself along with few members of the court.
She saw the Villain, Lord Jason Lannister looking calm and clean.
"You bastard." Queen Cersei hissed at lord Lannister. "Attacking your prince. You are an animal. Father should have drowned you when he had the chance."
"Be quiet!" King Robert order Queen Cersei. "My apology, Lord Lannister. It seems your aunt wouldn't shut up about it."
Sansa gapped at his grace's words. How could the King apologizes to that monster!
"No, an apology is not necessary. After all, it seems when need to be clear of something." Lord Jason spoke.
"He attacks your son! I want his head on a pike!" Queen Cersei shrieked at him.
"I said Shut up already! Or leave and tend your precious child." King Robert growled.
"That's not true!" Arya spoke up before them. "We were playing. We had only our sticks while he took out his sword at us. Jason was trying to calm him down. Besides that, prince attack him first!"
"How dare you little…!"
Robert cut her off, "Enough I said! Now your ah…squire of Lord Lannister tells us what happened."
Of course, her bastard brother told King Robert such lies. Probably was told by that villain to tell such lies.
Then Arya told them the same as well.
"Okay, that seems to clear some things. Trials are over." King Robert announced and was about to leave.
"No, it is not. Sansa, come here dove." Queen Cersei calls her sweetly to her.
Sansa is nervous, but she is determined to prove that everything is that monster's fault.
"Now girl tell it all and tell it true. For it is a grave crime to lie to the king." His grace looked at her. Everyone is watching her.
"It was Lord Lannister that started it!" Sansa started it up, but couldn't stop. That gave mutters and whispers around them.
"Prince Joffrey and I were just talking a walk and my prince was just protecting my sister and…" Sansa was cut off when Arya went and pulled her hair.
"LIAR! LIAR! LIAR!"
She gasped in pain and screams a bit. Her father, Jory Cassel, and Jon went and separated them.
"Stop it! Stop it you two!" Her father orders them.
"Well, there you have it. I want him to punish." Queen Cersei commented as if she wins.
"Two people told the truth, and one tells me another. Besides, warriors fight it's over." King Robert looks to her father, "Ned sees that you will deal with your daughters while I deal with my son. You may go, Lord Lannister. I am sorry for wasting your time over this foolishness."
"I see, good night your grace." Lord Lannister bows and left following after Jon Snow and Arya.
Sansa stood with tears.
'It's not fair. Surely my prince will recover and avenged himself with justice.'
Reviews are welcome.
Sorry for the wait.
