Sorry that this chapter is short, I wanted to set it up for a flashback. Again please review and give me any comments that you have. Like I said before I always like to hear from people about how I can improve. -SnowandStark-

Chapter 11

It took us another several weeks to make it to King's Landing, Jaime hadn't spoken to me after our little exchange which had me worried. Due to this I was in a foul mood which didn't really help the situation. My mood only lifted when Kings Landing came into sight, it was strange looking at it because it reminded me of Camelot, with the sun soaked walls and the smells of summer. We approached the main gate slowly, this gave me a chance to look at the things that we were passing. There was an array of stalls with all sorts of different goods, and food stalls that created tasty smells. We made our way underneath the main gate, this was when I noticed the Red Keep, a castle made entirely out of red stone. It was surrounded by another thick wall and a dry moat with spikes in it, it was effectively a castle within a castle. The sight of the Keep was a little unnerving as it looked like it was dripping blood every time the sun shone on the bricks. We came to a stop in another courtyard, the royal party having left us a long time ago, and came to stop underneath a large tower. This was where we were going to be staying for the foreseeable future, the Tower of the Hand. It was a huge structure that went up several stories. It looked completely different to the Keep and it was a lot less intimidating. I decided to take the room near the top of the tower, due to the addition of a balcony where you could sit and look out over the rest of the city. The dragons seemed to like the tower because they could have races with each other from the top to the bottom. Also there were plenty of birds around so they had a lot of things to chase. I made my way up the tower and started to unpack my things, making sure I kept an eye on my dragons. It took me quite a long time to unpack everything and get it into the appropriate drawers and by the time I was done it was already dark. I shut the door to balcony and called my dragons, I walked down to the dining hall to see whether I had missed supper. When I got into the room everyone was sat at the table waiting for the food to come. "Why didn't you send for me?" Ned looked up from his papers and smiled "We didn't know whether or not you were asleep or not so we left you in your room. Come sit down you haven't missed anything." I took a seat next to Arya who smiled at me. "So what have you all been up to today then?" I turned and looked round at everyone else, a forkful of food in my mouth. Ned spoke up "Well I've been busy trying to find the money for this ridiculous tourney!" He huffed slightly and started to mumble to himself. I laughed slightly and said "When exactly is this tourney meant to start?" Ned answered with a slight scowl on his face "Next week, I'm really not looking forward to it though. Gods I hate how the King keeps saying that it's in my name, I'd much rather he just buy me a present or something." I smiled and carried on eating while the others carried on talking, as I ate I could hear Sansa talking about how excited she was for the tourney and that Joff would win if he was competing. I rolled my eyes and went back to my food. Once I was finished I excused myself and made my way back up to my room. I went and sat on the balcony and surveyed my surroundings. The city looked lovely at night and the walls seemed to glow with the torches that had been placed on the walls. The sight made me smile as it reminded me of summer nights back in Camelot.
