Author's Note: Now the second battle of the story, the siege of Harrenhal... does the Phoenix have a plan against Lannister and Tyrell forces coming for him or is he screwed? (Maybe it is a rhetorical question, I'm asking)
In Harrenhal, both Northern, Frey and the Phoenix army are preparing for the siege. Arrows are being placed on the walls, Men are being positioned on both ground and walls, a good number make a good defensive number by the both gates, the Main Gate and the East Gate, only more men are placed by the East because it is more vulnerable for siege.
The Phoenix looks over three ravens that were sent to him one is from Petyre Baelish warning him of the numbers of forces, so he not surprise by the number, also on the parchment is a threat in some way which says "You may have won a few rounds, but the game is not over as long I'm still breathing." The Phoenix thought he had Baelish scared, instead he just getting mocked by the mockingbird himself. The other letter is a letter from Barlock saying "When you are done with whatever battle your in, find some time for us to talk." The third one he seems to be keeping that one to himself.
Kalimar enters seeing his father glancing at both letters.
Kalimar: Father!
The Phoenix looks up to see his son standing there.
Phoenix: Did you tell Sansa of her sister.
Kalimar: I did. She replied me back telling us that we should make a deal with the Vale to have her handed over to us. Perhaps I should.
Phoenix: Later, right now I need you. We have a battle to win.
Kalimar: That's not the reason I came up though.
Phoenix: What is it?
Kalimar: We have visitors at the gate.
The Phoenix and Kalimar are on top of the wall by the gate. Archers have their arrows aimed and ready. Outside of Harrenhal, there are four horses with riders on it, they wear Dornish clothing. It is Oberyn Martell and his three bastard daughters Obara, Tyene and Nymeria Sand.
Oberyn: Were here to speak with the Phoenix.
Phoenix: Your speaking to him.
Oberyn: I'm Oberyn Martell, Prince of Dorn, brother to Prince Doran Martell Ruler of Dorne. I'm here to aid you and help in your conquest agains the Lannisters.
The Phoenix signals for the archers to lower the weapons. He makes his way down the walls and to the Main gate.
The Main Gate is shown opening, The Phoenix is the only one going through it without no men following or backing him. Oberyn gets off his steed and makes his way to the Phoenix.
Phoenix: And why would I allow you to join. I mean I know your reason... Oh yes Prince Oberyn I know why you hate the Lannisters Ser Barristan Selmy told me the the tragic fall of the Targaryen children and your sister Elia Martell.
Oberyn: I know the Mountain is leading this charge, I figured Lord Tywin would send him to do a job like this. I want the chance to finally get my hands on him and to get the justice and revenge on the people who wronged me. If you allow me and my daughters to fight with you, you won't regret it. Your the only chance I have to avenge my sister and her niece and nephew.
The Phoenix sees that dangerous and unpredictable look in his eyes, but that doesn't scare him. However he also sees desperation in Oberyn eyes as well, so desperate that he came to him.
Phoenix: (Rhetorical) What are the Martell words?
Oberyn: Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken.
Phoenix: Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken. Well i see you Unbowed, I see you Unbent, but I see you Broken, from the inside. The Enemy of my Enemy is my friend.
Oberyn see's the Phoenix hand is out, wanting a handshake from the Red Viper himself. Oberyn willingly shakes his hand, but it feels more like a grip.
Phoenix: Welcome.
Oberyn gives him a nod in approval.
Oberyn: A Viper and A Phoenix, What a deadly pair.
Phoenix: Deadly, but Necessary.
The Phoenix looks on at the fields of the Riverlands.
Phoenix: You all better get in and prepare, the battle isn't far away.
The Phoenix is overlooking the defense of Harrenhal. He knows more men are posted in the East Gate.
Phoenix: Kalimar!
Kalimar rushes over.
Kalimar: Yes.
Phoenix: I want equal numbers on both gates. Our men take front line on defense with shields and spears in front of both gates.
Kalimar: But father, the east gate is the weakest one compared to the main one. If I were Tywin Lannister I would attack that one compared to the main gate.
Phoenix: Exactly, they would expect us to have that one defended more compared to the main gate. My sources are this; with all the numbers coming our way there coming in two different directions. More men will be coming come from the east yes, but I been told they got a siege weapons from both sides of both gates. They plan on cornering us.
Kalimar: Are you sure?
Phoenix: You question me?
The Sandsnakes eyeball the conversation. A son questioning his father information.
Kalimar: No father.
The Phoenix places his arm on his shoulder.
Phoenix: Again I know exactly what I'm doing.
Kalimar: Yes, of course father. I just wish you could trust me to handle things.
Oberyn Martell is hearing all of this.
Oberyn: If I may, If more men are coming from the East; then allow me to be on the walls when they bring the ladders up... both me and my two daughters will help these men make sure they won't overwhelm the East wall. My other daughter Obara can help defend the East Gate on Ground with your soldiers... if you don't mind.
Phoenix: How good is she, Obara?
Oberyn: Very skilled, I taught her myself.
The Phoenix pauses.
Phoenix: (to Obara) You stay four columns behind. Prove your skill, and get with the men.
Obara nods and gets in formation with the rest. Oberyn smiles, not just that his daughter are going to use the skills he taught them, but because he might get a chance at the Mountain.
Oberyn: I guess I'll get in position.
Phoenix: Oberyn, there something I must discuss with you, before they arrive. And Kalimar, you come as well.
They follow the Phoenix.
Author Notes: So what dod you guys think, Oberyn finally caught up with the Phoenix. I know i probably rushed it, but hey I need to get it going for you guys.
Next... well we'll see what I write.
