Chapter 3
Arya POV
It is the day after all those crazy vision dreams I woke up early in an attempt to sneak out unnoticed however as usual luck was never on my side. Just as I was about to leave the house of black and white I heard a voice saying "So you have finally decided to leave us Arya" I turned around and saw the owner of the voice the kindly man.
"Why are you here shouldn't you be back at the temple?" I questioned him I was trying to keep him busy until I thought of some sort of plan to get out of here.
"Oh Arya do you think the meeting of you and Jaquen Hagar as just by mere chance?" he said. I remained silent not knowing how to answer him.
"What would the faceless want with a little girl?" I questioned him.
"You Arya are capable of great things we needed you here so that you could reach your full potential" the kindly man said in a calming voice to make me see some sort of sense.
"What could I ever do I couldn't even avenge me family!" I shouted.
"You will never be one of those polite ladies or meek queens Arya you were meant for greater things than that" he said softly.
"Look I know that you are only saying these things to try and get me to stay but guess what it won't work" I responded not wanting to hear any more from him but the kindly man continued to respond. "You will never be the queen but you will be a queen of winter" he said looking me in the eye.
Wait queen of winter that's from my house the great old kings why would they want me to be a stark when to be a faceless man you must become no one. "You dreams Arya they mean something follow them" the kindly man begged me with pleading eyes.
"You know about my dreams so the sword in the stone is real?" I said in surprise.
"Yes your dreams told you where you must go" he replied.
"It only showed me some ice cave" I said
"Where is the land always covered in ice and snow?" the kindly questioned me in a slow voice trying to get me to really think about what he was saying.
I finally said after a moment of silence the answer to his question "You don't mean the lands of always winter?"
"Yes Arya that is where you must go" the kindly man said with a hint of joy in his voice.
"I have to find my family "I insisted not wanting to forget my mission.
"Find my sword Arya only then can you save your family" the kindly man said in his usual commanding tone well he is back to normal again.
Seeing no other way to leave the house of black and white I decided to agree with him and so I set out towards the lands of always winter. Once I was out of the kindly man's sight I headed straight to the docks to look for a boat going to Westeros when I spotted a small man from affair with bright blond hair he seemed odd yet familiar so I went in for a closer look. I could hear him talking loudly about his adventures with a glass of wine in his hands judging from his appearance his definitely drunk. As I got a closer look I could see that his features resembled that Cersei Lannister which meant that h could only be one person Tyrion Lannister.
If it was indeed him I will have to be careful as I don't have my usual disguises to hide myself. I decided to leave quickly before I was noticed by him. I was just about to get away with it when I heard "So this is where Arya Stark has been hiding" I turned around to see Tyrion Lannister.
"You must be mistaken I don't know this girl that you speak of" I said in the hope that he was just go away.
"Shouldn't you be on the run from your sister "I said to try and get him to move along.
"That I am" he answered back
"So why are you here" I said
"I have business to attend to "he said clearly not wanting to share any information.
"So do I "I said and quickly ran off.
I found a boat from the iron bank that was supposedly heading to the wall I used the last gift that I had left from the faceless men the iron coin to gain access onto the ship. Well now y quest begins to the land of always winter. I went onto the top deck and saw Tyrion again I can't afford to have word getting out that I am alive just yet so I hid on the lower deck for now the trip to the wall won't take too long anyway.
Bran POV
"It is time Bran" blood raven said to me three days after I had those visions.
"Time for what?" I questioned him.
"You must leave this place Bran and go to where your mind tells you the visions you have been having the past few days you have to follow them" blood raven said.
"I am but a cripple how do you expect me to travel" I answered him.
"The trees Bran don't you feel yourself getting stronger here this will help you on your journey ahead of you" blood raven said and gave me a large oak walking stick when I touched it I could feel the energy that it was giving me.
"So this must be goodbye then" I said slowly.
"Yes goodbye for now Bran and remember you can always look into the trees for guidance" blood raven said mysteriously.
I gathered up my stick and to my amazement I was indeed able to stand up with lots help. The visions these past few days have been showing me a rundown wintery port with men all dressed in black clothing by the sea this could only mean one thing I must go to east watch by the sea.
I own nothing all of the characters in this story belong to the ASOIAF series. I hope that you like this chapter and sorry for the delays school work. Find out in the next chapter what happens when Arya arrives at east watch by the sea. I love hearing all of your reviews about the story so fay.
