Ned watched as Legolas left for patrol in the Kingswood forest. It was three days since Ned escaped from the Black Cells. When it was all decided to leave when Yoren and Arya left King's Landing, Gandalf and Luke decided to stay in the Kingswood until they leave. Many disagreed with that, but the votes were against those who wanted to leave. While everyone waited, Legolas and Chewbacca, the best scouts and look outs in the group, always left to see when Yoren and the recruits he chose left. While they waited for him, Ned got to know and understand the people in the group.
"So you have six children?" asked Lucy, who was the youngest and most innocent of the group.
"Yes, though all of them are in tough situations. Arya is forced to dress as a boy, Sansa is a hostage, Bran is a crippled, Robb is at war, and Rickon is too young to understand it all" said Ned.
"What about your sixth child?" asked Luna, who had more imagination than even Old Nan.
"Your bastard child" corrected Jack Sparrow.
"He's at the Wall"
"The Wall?" asked Ron.
"Its a giant wall that surrounds the far points of the North, it's completely made of ice"
"That's incredible" said Harry.
"How does it not melt?" asked Pippin.
"Because it's always snow and cold there" said Hermione, who was reading a book about Aegon the Conqueror.
"Correct Miss Granger. The Wall is manned by the men of the Night's Watch"
"Like this Yoren guy were waiting for?" asked Merry.
"Yes. The Night's Watch is responsible for keeping the wildlings and other creatures out of Westeros. When Jon realized he had no future at Winterfell, he left to join the Watch"
"Then why is it so bad to join?" asked Will.
"Because you serve for life. You cannot hold land or marry any woman. Many die at the Wall, and most of the Watch is made of criminals forced to join to avoid death"
"Now I understand why you feel bad for your son" said Frodo as Sam nodded along.
"Master Luke"
Everyone turned and saw Threepio waving at them next to a tree, Artoo at his side as usual.
"What is it Threepio?" asked Luke as he got out of meditation.
"Artoo says that he picked something up on his scanner yesterday that is starting to disturb him" said Threepio.
"What kind of disturbance?" asked Leia.
"Well-"
But before the Protocol Droid could answered, Artoo started beeping something again.
"What's the little chrome dome saying this time?" asked Han.
"Artoo says that Legolas and Chewbacca are coming back, only there bringing someone with them" said Threepio.
"Yoren?" asked Gandalf.
"Or Arya" stated Susan.
"Or a prisoner" said Will.
When the Elf and Wookiee returned, they were accompanied by the most beautiful girl any of them have ever seen, carrying something in a blanket.
"Who are you?" asked Aragorn.
"Aragorn Elessar, I am Yaylanna, servant of Aslan and sister of Orion" said Yaylanna as she did a curtsy.
"Orion's sister?" stated Ned and Boromir at the same time.
"Ah yes, I remember you. You were here with Orion and that plump fellow before he woke us up" said Gandalf.
"Yes I was. I was sent by Aslan to tell you some news"
"What news?" asked Pippin.
"When my brother made the portals into the other worlds, the fabric of time and space in the portals was broken"
"By what do you mean by that, Miss Yaylanna?" asked Barbossa.
"I means random people in the five worlds might randomly appear in Westeros" said Yaylanna.
"By the Force" said Luke as he held a hand to his face.
"This could be both a complication and an asset. It all depends on who arrives" said Gandalf.
"Has any one arrived yet?" asked Peter.
"Yes, just one person though" said Yaylanna.
"Do we know him?" asked Lando.
"...Yeeeeeeeeeeees" said Yaylanna.
"Who?" asked Han.
"...Boba Fett"
Now there were either two reactions. The reactions of those who didn't come from the galaxy far, far away, who looked confused at the name. The other reaction was from the ones who did, who looked extremely surprised.
"Boba Fett?" said Luke.
"But how?" asked Leia.
"Now I do believe we are all missing something" said Jack.
"I do believe your right Jack" said Harry.
"So who is this Boba Fett?" asked Frodo.
"Boba Fett is a bounty hunter. He worked for a guy called Jabba the Hutt, a gangster that I used to work for" said Han "When I got in trouble with Jabba, he sent Boba Fett to come and take me to him"
"So how come it's such a big shock if he's here?" asked Pippin.
"Because the last time I saw him, I accidently knocked him into a pit with a monster in it" said Han as he scratched the back of his head.
"How do you accidentally knock someone into a monster's pit?" asked Ned.
"I was blind" said Han as he held up his arms.
"Blind with rage?" asked Gimli.
"Blind with blindness" said Lando "I was just lucky his sight returned before I could be eaten by that monster. I would of have had my leg shot off"
"I told you I could see better" said Han.
"So where is Boba Fett?" asked Leia.
"He's with a man called Tyrion Lannister" said Yaylanna.
"Seven Hells" said Ned.
"What?" asked Will.
"Tyrion Lannister is a...small man" Ned had to avoid using the term 'dwarf' around Gimli " and also Joffrey's uncle and possibly the catalyst of my son's failed assassin attempt" said Ned.
"So this Tyrion bloke is the guy responsible for your son's broken legs" said Ron
"No, the Kingslayer is responsible for that, Tyrion-"
"Lord Stark, Tyrion Lannister had nothing to do with Bran's legs" said Yaylanna before Tyrion could be hated.
"...Nothing to do with it? I was told by my wife that Tyrion Lannister supplied the catspawn the dagger he tried to kill Bran with" said Ned.
"And who told your wife that?" asked Yaylanna.
"...Littlefinger" said Ned crossly.
"The guy who arrested you?" asked Neville.
"Yes. He loves my wife and the Master of Coin on the Small Council. It would only make sense that he would do this to ruin my house" said Ned as he brought his hands to his face.
"Lord Stark please don't blame yourself. You already blame yourself for so much" said Hermione.
"You were but a pawn that played the Game of Thrones by others actions. There have been many that have fallen for the same" said Gandalf.
"Gandalf is right Lord Stark" said Aragorn as he took a seat next to Ned "With the price of a crown, there is always a danger. But that is why we are here. To change all that could have happened"
"And don't forget this Lord Stark, that there is always someone controlling your actions and making you take one step instead of the other" said Luke.
"...I am glad that the Great Lion sent you all to help me. Your presence may indeed change Westeros for the better" said Ned with a smile.
"I'm glad we're welcomed Lord Stark" said Luna simply.
"So where are Boba Fett and Tyrion Lannister?" asked Peter.
"They should be meeting up with Tywin Lannister. Robb Stark crossed the Twins and has 22,000 Northmen with him, along with my brother" said Yaylanna.
"...What deals did Robb make with Walder Frey?" asked Ned.
"None that involve marrying any of your children to any of his people" said Yaylanna.
"Thank the Old Gods" said Ned as his face became more relaxed.
"Lord Stark, I think you should see this before you celebrate" said Yaylanna as she gave a sheet of paper to Peter.
"Let it be known that Eddard Stark, former Lord of Winterfell, Head of House Stark, and Warden of the North, is now considered a traitor to the realm. Anyone who brings in Eddard Stark's head will be rewarded with a Lordship, given Winterfell when Robb Stark's rebellion is crushed, and allowed to make any woman of his choosing as his bride. Signed King Joffrey, King of the Iron Throne" said Peter
"Oh bugger" said Jack.
"Bloody Hell" said Ron.
"So Joffrey put out a want on my head aye? So be it, but the next time I free Joffrey, it will be with steel in hand" said Ned.
"What about your daughter Sansa?" asked Susan.
"...I don't know" said Ned.
"Don't worry about that" said Yaylanna.
"Don't worry about it? My daughter is in the palms of Joffrey and Cersei and your telling me not to worry about it?" said Ned.
"I do, because she will be watched by a friend" said Yaylanna.
"A friend, what friend? Everyone I brought to King's Landing is dead except my daughters" said Ned.
"I wasn't talking about one of your friends, Lord Stark" said Yaylanna.
"...Is this friend from one of our worlds?" asked Elizabeth.
"Yes"
"Which world is he from?" asked Sam.
"The land of Narnia" said Yaylanna.
"Oh, who is it? Is it Reepicheep or Trumpkin? Or perhaps Glenstorm?" asked Lucy.
"Forgive me Lucy Pevensie, but this friend isn't from your Narnia"
"Not from our Narnia?" asked Caspian.
"Is there another Narnia we should know about?" asked Edmund.
"No, what I meant was that this friend comes from Narnia in the future. When the Narnian/Telemarine conflict is over" said Yaylanna.
"Well ain't that a load of rot" said Peter.
"If he's from the future, how can he be our friend?" asked Edmund.
"Because he was once part of a journey with two other humans that were brought into Narnia. He is loyal to Aslan and knows all about you Narnian Royals" said Yaylanna.
"So how does this future friend help Lord Stark's little lass?" asked Barbossa.
"He will watch over Sansa and keep her safe. And when the time is right, he will escape with her and head North" said Yaylanna.
"Moving on from Lord Stark's daughter and this Narnio friend of yours, please explain about these holes in portals or whatever" said Jack.
"Because Orion brought five different groups out of their worlds around the same time, the barriers between the worlds have weakened. This should only occur to these five worlds, and Aslan said that no one in Westeros should appear in the five worlds. But he also said that the holes are unpredictable, you could have one person in Middle-Earth show up in Dorne and then all of a sudden an entire planet's population from the Galaxy Far, Far away shows up in the North. Brother also said that only people linked with the Warriors or their backgrounds will appear"
"That could be useful. We could have the entire Dwarf army from the Lonely Mountain appear" said Gimli.
"Or all of Mordor's Orc army" said Legolas.
"That would be bad" said Merry.
"What do we do if that happens?" asked Pippin to Gandalf.
"Throw you at them to cease your many questions" said Gandalf, who saw the serious dangers of these holes.
"Ok, well I have to go to prepare our new friend's arrival. But I have two things to do first. Ned Stark, Yoren is going to leave King's Landing tomorrow morning" said Yaylanna.
"That is indeed good news. And the second thing?" asked Ned.
"Is for Gandalf" said Yaylanna as she turned to Gandalf "Since I was capable of bringing Harry Potter's owl, I decided to bring you something incase of emergencies" said Yaylanna as she turned towards where she, Legolas, and Chewbacca came from. At once the sounds of hooves appeared, and soon, the most beautiful horse appeared. It was white furred with a pure white mane, putting the two horses that Orion brought to shame. The horse trotted up to Gandalf. Gandalf stared at the horse for a few seconds before he stroked the horse's mane.
"...Shadowfax" said Gandalf.
"That has got to be the most beautiful horse I have ever seen" said Susan.
"That is because he is Shadowfax, the Lord of all Horses in Middle-Earth" said Legolas.
"Aslan told me that incase something happened, Gandalf could ride at full speed to a place and obtain help, for Shadowfax is the fastest horse in Westeros, Middle-Earth, the Wizarding Community, the Galaxy, Narnia, or the Caribbean" said Yaylanna.
"Just what we need, another animal" said Jack as Will elbowed him, Barbossa slightly grinning as he stroke Jack the monkey's head.
"Well, I'll be off" said Yaylanna. She then turned around and disappeared into thin air.
"...I think this quest just got a bit more weirder" said Ginny as Ron and Will nodded along.
"Master Luke"
Luke and everyone else turned to Threepio and Artoo, who were remarkably quiet during the whole thing.
"Sorry Threepio, now what was it Artoo found disturbing?" asked Luke.
"He says that during the first night we saved Lord Stark, suddenly many live forms appeared on his scanner all at once. As if they-"
"Were whisked away somewhere" finished Harry as he and the others stared at one another.
"How come we've never seen them then?" asked Will.
"This is a big forest. It would give them a lot of places to hide" said Hermione.
"Always thinking ahead, hey Hermione" said Ron playfully, trying to break the tension.
Artoo then started beeping again, this time more hurriedly.
"What is it this time?" asked Gandalf.
"Artoo says that one of the people he picked up on his scanners is coming towards us at a fast pace" said Threepio.
.
Oh how Varys loved this. Varys was currently at a Small Council meeting with Joffrey, Cersei, Janos, Petyr, and Pycelle, the topic being Lord Stark's escape.
"I want him found" said Joffrey, who's leg was bandaged after being shot by one of the Heroes Orion brought. If Varys was corrected, the shooter was Legolas, the one that Orion described as an Elf.
"We are doing our best to find that traitor Sweetie, but it will take time" Cersei then turned towards Slynt "Have you found anything?"
"We've found six men that were Gold Cloaks dead in an alley, along with one that said that he couldn't remember anything except something about a walking bear" said Janos Slynt. Varys smiled in his mind, that walking bear had to be Chewbacca, the other nonhuman.
"First a talking lion, now a walking bear. It seems that the Gold Cloaks should lay off the wine" said Littlefinger.
"Stark's rescuers must have killed the Gold Cloaks and took their armor" said Cersei.
"And have snuck in unnoticed" said Varys, adding his support to throw suspicion off of him.
"They couldn't have gone. Lord Stark's leg is still injured from Ser Jaime's attack on him" said Pycelle.
"I want every man in King's Landing to be noted about any men with a walking problem" said Cersei.
"At once your Grace" said Slynt.
"And Sansa Stark?" asked Littlefinger. If he was alone, Varys would of sighed. Poor Sansa Stark was now fully aware of her status as a hostage. If it wasn't when Joffrey slapped her after her father's escape, it was when Joffrey had Ser Meryn and Clegane take the girl to see the severed heads of her septon and the others that came with Lord Stark. He was told that Sansa Stark made a comment and was hit by Meryn for it. How the poor girl suffered.
"Send her to her brother in pieces" said Joffrey.
"Joffrey, Sansa is your betrothed. You have to be nice to her if she is to be your queen" said Cersei. Varys knew that if Sansa was not a hostage and more aware of the power of being a Queen, Cersei wouldn't have even agreed to the marriage. Varys knew that if it was Yara Greyjoy or Arianne Martell or Margaery Tyrell or any other Highborn girl, Cersei would have her ruined and killed. Cersei loved power beyond anything. She ruled through Joffrey, and the chance of anyone else controlling him would upset the balance of power to Cersei. That is why Sansa Stark was the best choice of a marriage to Cersei, because Sansa was easy to control.
"Y-yes your Grace. And Lady Sansa is the only thing that could lead us to peace with the North" said Pycelle.
"What peace, once Robb Stark meets my Grandfather on the field, Grandfather will bring his head to be place next to his father once we find him. And Uncle Stannis and Renly. All those who are traitors to me" said Joffrey.
"About that your Grace. I was told interesting news" said Varys.
"What is it?" asked Cersei.
"I have received a letter that Robb Stark has crossed the Twins with an army of 22,000 Northmen" said Varys.
"22,000 men?" said Pycelle.
"My father has 90,000 men. What is 22,000 to him. And that's not counting the men he left at Casterly Rock. And the thousands of Gold Cloaks in King's Landing" said Cersei. She was always smug when it came to how powerful her father is, always wanting everyone to remember that she is the daughter of the Strongest Lord in Westeros.
"Still your Grace, Renly and Stannis have there own armies too. And with this Brotherhood without Banners out there, it will be hard for your father to fight with all of these enemies" said Varys.
"My father won't lose to a bunch of traitors. I received a private letter saying that he plans to hire a Sellsword company called the Brave Companions once he deals with Robb Stark" said Cersei.
"And if Ned Stark isn't found?" asked Pycelle.
"Then Grandfather will crush him" said Joffrey.
"As for Stark, there's a chance he'll have escaped out of King's Landing, but he's still in the Crownlands somewhere. We'll start with the Kingswood. I want 150 Gold Cloaks sent there to check out the forest. They need the practice" said Cersei.
"At once your Grace" said Slynt.
"The Council is adjourned" said Cersei. Everybody then left.
Varys was currently worried. His little birds have told him that Lord Stark was waiting in the forest for something. It might have to do with Yoren and the Night's Watch. Varys saw the girl running towards Sansa when the poor girl was hit. He wouldn't have noticed the girl with all that was happening, but when he saw Yoren with an owl on his shoulder pulling her away somewhere. Even though the Night's Watch took no part in any war, Yoren was loyal to Benjen Stark and would help his blood in anyway. The reason for the Night's Watch recruiter being here was because the gates were sealed and they had to be inspected before they could leave the city. With the subject of the Night's Watch being on his mind, Varys remembered that he had Tobho Mott give the boy to the Night's Watch after Varys paid him to. The reason for this act of kindness was because Varys knew that the boy Gendry was one of Robert's bastards. It was only a matter of time before Joffrey and Cersei kills all of the bastards. Varys normally wouldn't have intervened, but his alliance with the Lion Aslan now had to make him act. He would take in all of the children under his employ as new Little Birds and keeping the ones too young to be of any use to the women in his employ, like the babe Barra, the child of one of Littlefinger's whores. Oh Varys got himself into all of this business, he didn't know. But Aslan chose him to be an ally, and something told Varys not to make Aslan and his servants his enemies, remembering how easy it was for Orion to enter a room with his sister in an instance.
When Varys arrived at his chambers he opened the door-
-and found Yaylanna sitting on his bed.
Varys stared at the girl for a second before remembering himself. He quickly entered the room and closed the door.
"My Lady, what are you doing here?" asked Varys.
"Aslan sent me to tell you something" said Yaylanna.
"And what would that be?" asked Varys as he took a seat on the bed next to Yaylanna.
"Your aware of the treatment of Sansa Stark?"
"I've seen it firsthand"
"Well Aslan decided to have one of our friends watch her"
"Which one of the Warriors that your brother called is going to watch over the poor child?" asked Varys.
"All of the Warriors are going with Lord Stark to meet up with his son. The one watching over Sansa Stark will be from one of their worlds"
"Should there be something I should know? Or something that I will have to tell Joffrey if he starts to inspect something?"
"Aslan is currently briefing him on the situation. When he arrives, you'll tell the Queen and Joffrey that he's one of your friends from the Free Cities. He's also has some nonhuman characteristics, so if anyone asks, just tell them that it's part of a disease that he caught. I was told that some people in Westeros have changes to there bodies if they caught some sickness. Grey Pale?"
"Grey Scale my Lady" said Varys. What she said was true. Grey Scale turned some part of the skin stiff and hard and completely grey. Redspots leave the entire body covered in red spots. There were many diseases that leave the body changed afterwards. As long as the person that would watch over Sansa Stark looked more human than creature, Varys could work with it.
"I'm sorry it was such short notice" said Yaylanna.
"It is alright my Lady, I've been in rushed situations before. I could tell you a time during Sack of King's Landing...but that is a story for another time" said Varys.
"I must be going now Lord Varys. I'll bring the person Aslan selected to this room. When, I'm not sure. Don't die Lord Varys" said Yaylanna. She then disappeared.
"...I'm afraid that no matter what, all men must die at some point" Varys said to himself.
.
When Yaylanna returned to Aslan's country, she saw that Aslan was talking to the person he's chosen. This man had a small body, but his arms and legs were so long that he slightly towered over Sandor Clegane. He had a muddy aroma around him and had webbed hands and feet. His hair was long and resembled a lot of squishy branches. He also wore a crooked pointed hat.
"Good day Yaylanna" said Aslan.
"Aslan" said Yaylanna as she curtsied "I told Lord Varys of the arrangements. Is everything going well with our friend?"
"He is a fast learner. If it wasn't for his appearance, no one would tell he wasn't from the Known World" said Aslan.
"I do hope that I won't have to stay in this awful city you described for long. I could be found out. An invading army could arrive and kill me in the confusion. Or a dragon might arrive and burn everything in sight" said the man.
"There are no dragons in Westeros. All you have to do is watch over Sansa Stark and make sure she stays safe. And escape with her when the time is right" said Aslan.
"Well my experience with Pole and Scrubb will be helpful if I have to pretend to be the young ladies servant" said Puddleglum the Marsh-Wiggle.
