CHAPTER 5
Days turn into weeks, and weeks into month. In a blink of an eye, it's been almost 6 months since they found Megara in the woods. It seems that almost everyone but him have forgotten how they found her. Unconscious and bloodied... One would not guess judging from how sweet she can be at times. But her eyes is dead giveaway. She is not a Northerner nor a Sourtherner. She is not from Westeros. She was a slave that somehow made her way to the Seven Kingdoms. Despite his efforts, nothing come out from his investigation that give any indication from where Megara originated from and how she got here in the first place.
Eddard noted how Megara is more relaxed than when she first come here. She no longer hesitant around adults and his children fully accepts her. Her Common Language have improved considerably, along with her literacy. His wife Catelyn have more or less accepted Megara. The only one who dislikes her is Septa Mordane. The girl ripped almost half a hundred clothes before Septa given up teaching her how to sew. Everything else, like dancing and poetry, Megara enjoys them. Arya is practically attached to the hip with her. Like Sansa and Jeyne Poole.
He observed how the two always spend their time together. From studying to watching the men train. Once, Eddard could have sworn that the two of them are gossiping. But with Arya, it might be or not be true. Nevertheless, he is happy that Arya have a girl friend who is around her age. There aren't a lot of girls around these parts. Maybe he should invite the his banner men's daughters to Winterfell in the future... Sansa and Arya will be delighted.
But would he dare to invite his banner men here when there's an odd person within his walls? Eddard still not sure if Megara really is harmless. Perhaps she is but everything about her is a mystery. Now that they can communicate, it is time to get some answers. He give Jory an order to fetch her to his office. Along with his lady wife and Maester Luwin. He don't doubt they want to hear what Megara has to say.
A few moments later, Catelyn and Maester Luwin entered his office. "What is it Ned?" Catelyn looked at him confused.
"It's about Megara" Eddard stood up from his seat. "It's time for her to tell us what really happened months ago. And who she really is."
Not long after, Jory brought in Megara. The girl looked confused before tenses up. It appears she knows what's going to happen. It was after Jory left the room Eddard speak up. "Megara, I need you to answer some questions."
The girl nervously bit her lip. "Will you banish me after this?"
Eddard exchanged looks with his wife. "No, little one. We will not." Megara don't seem convinced though. He continues. "I'd like to as you about what happened that day. I want you to tell me the truth." He studied her before continuing. "Where do you come from? How did you end up here? What exactly happened to you?"
Megara didn't immediately answer. Instead she stared at them with her 'hard' look. "My Lord... The Southerns believe in Seven Gods, Seven Hells and Seven Heavens. Correct?" The Gods? Why would she bring them up? Unless...? "So you believe there will another realm other than Westeros, Essos, Ulthos and Sothoryos?" Eddard cautiously nodded. "Do you believe in magic?"
"What's that got to do with this?" Eddard furrows his eye brows. Megara sighed.
"Everything" Once again, he exchanged looks with his wife and Maester Luwin. Megara continues. "I was... Brought here from another realm... By magic." She sounds so nervous. "The magic is responsible for the loud noise... I not sure what exactly happened... But it was done by magic." Megara looked at them, as if sizing them up before speaking again. "Sorcerers are normal in my homeland... Many serves for the Empire- Er... Kingdom. Something happened in one of the royal warehouses... It burn everything... I was in there... A flash and... Now I'm here."
"Why in the name of gods would you be in a burning building?" Catelyn asks, worry and confusion laced in her tone.
"I am the future soldier of my kingdom. I must do my duty to my kingdom. I'm helping the soldiers escape from the fire." This time, Megara sounds a lot more surer. The look in her eyes become bolder. If that's even possible.
Catelyn gasped in shock. "Soldier?" She whispered. "You're just a child. A girl. Your kingdom take girls for soldiers?"
"Only in certain cases. My tribe is one of those cases. We, the Fanalis Tribe, hailed from the Dark Continent. One of the harshest land in my home realm. Men or women, it doesn't matter. Fanalis are strong." She paused. "Which is why I have these." She lifted her skirt, revealing her ankles. The marks proving that she was once chained are still visible. "Fanalis makes excellent slaves. I was a slave until my brother freed me."
So Megara was a slave... But it still doesn't answer some question. "If you know that you're here because of magic... Do you know how to go back?" Eddard asks. Megara sadly shakes her head. Eddard ponders what he just hear. Megara is originally from a realm different than this one... At least that explains her foreign appearance and language. But magic... Like skin changing and the likes? Is she telling the truth?
"Are you sure the place where you come from is not in the maps?" For the first time, Maester Luwin speak up. Megara shakes her head again.
"I've told you. I was brought here by magic." Megara said, a bit annoyed. "I am not a sorcerer and I doubt any of the sorcerers in this realm have the same magic as we have back home. So... Unless someone from my realm come to get me or Gods decide to interfere, I'm stuck here."
For the third time, Eddard exchanged looks with Catelyn and Maester Luwin. Honestly, he is still not sure how to take this revelation. "I... believe that you are telling the truth." He finally said after a moment of silence. "Anything else we should know about?" This time, Megara looked very guilty. She stared at the floor, unable to look at them in the eye. "Megara..?"
"I think we should do this in the godswood. More space."
...
A few moments later, the four of them stood in the middle of the Godswood. No one will disturb them here. Unless its his children playing. Megara do not say anything. Instead she take off her shoes and tying her skirt above her knees. Catelyn gasped at such display. Before any of them can say anything though, Megara jumped. No... Leaped. Eddard knows that he is gaping right now but he don't care. Megara have leaped high enough to reach a tree branch and then proceed to climb higher. Without using her hands. It's like she's actually running on tree. She goes higher and higher, until Eddard can no longer spot her. Then she leap from one tree to another. For a moment she reminds him of squirrels. But squirrels don't move that fast. It was until the point that his eyes can no longer follow her that Eddard realised that she is standing behind him. His wife's gasp is the indication.
"That is what Fanalis is capable of." Megara shrug off a leaf on her shoulder. "And this" She picks up a rock from the ground, bigger than her tiny fist. Her fingers curled and the rock crumbles before them. "Fanalis are strong." She drop the pebbles to the grass. "We can do this too" She walk to Maester Luwin. Megara wrapped her arms around his legs and easily lift him off the ground. The chains around his neck jingles as Maester Luwin try to balance himself in her hold. "Hence the reason we are so feared and desired as slaves." She put him down. "Do you want another demonstration?"
Eddard found himself shaking his head. Catelyn is staring at Megara with wide eyes. Maester Luwin is the first to recover. "Are all Fanalis strong like you?"
"No. The adult ones are much stronger than me. Faster as well. Their kicks can pierce through a lion. They can easily destroy Winterfell." Megara speak of it as if she's talking about the weather. "We're no good at doing delicate things though." She nervously glance at Catelyn. Right, Megara basically destroy her sewing kits every time she tries. "We fare better as warriors. So if you are in need of an emergency trip, or can only bring a few people with you, or both... I'll come with you. Fanalis are much faster than horses." From what he just witnessed, Eddard have no doubt about that.
"Why didn't you told us from the start?" Maester Luwin asked.
Megara stared at him. "I didn't know if I could trust any of you. For all I know, I'll be a slave again."
"You won't, child" Eddard unconsciously said. Slavery is heavily frowned upon in the Seven Kingdoms. "Still, if you're so strong, why did you end up as a slave?" With her strength, Megara can easily throw people off her.
"I was already a slave when I was younger than Rickon. I don't know what happened to my parents. They may have escaped or turned to slaves or put down. It's common occurrence when it comes to warrior tribes like the Fanalis. I don't even question why I was a slave. It was not until a few years ago my saviour set me free. He travel around the world to find us. Afterward he took us in, clothed us, fed us... Now me and our Fanalis brethren can live together..." Ned can see that she missed her brethren terribly. "That's my story." She looked at them expectantly, waiting for them to say something.
"...I must admit I didn't expect this..." Maester Luwin hold his chest. "But thank you for being honest."
Megara simply nodded. "So... Can I go now? It's almost time for dancing lesson. Sansa- Or rather Septa Mordane, won't be pleased if I am late to show up."
"You may go"
Megara curtsey before them before running off towards the castle. This time, she didn't bother hiding her power. Rather than seeing her running, it's more like she's vanished in a blink of an eye.
A moment passed and Maester Luwin decide to speak up. "...What do you think My lord...?"
"Honestly, I don't know what I should think." Eddard said, looking at his wife who is just as bewildered as he is.
