Chapter 4: An unexpected ally
It had been decades since the last Targaryens were driven from their home, now they live across the narrow sea thanks to a supporter to their claim to the iron throne. Daenerys awoke to the sounds of singing birds but the beautiful sound was drowned out by her brother Viserys, out of the two siblings Daenerys never asked for much but hoped to return to her family home within Westeros. She rose from her bed and looked for presentable dress, as she was getting dressed she noticed something or someone coming to the home of their host.
Outside the dwelling the stranger was ever getting closer, it wasn't long till Illyrio Mopatis and his guests the remaining Targaryens came to greet the traveler. "Welcome stranger, how may I be of servos?" Illyrio asked "I seek a place to stay for the night I can pay what ever you wish." the hooded stranger said. Daenerys then took notice to the stranger who was obviously a woman, but it wasn't the fact that she was a women that got her attention but the distinct feature which was behind her that had her attention. "Very well then five hundred gold for one night." Illyrio said as the hooded woman then handed him a large pouch.
For the rest of the day Daenerys was very curious about the strange woman, but as she got lost in her thoughts she did not notice that the woman she was thinking about was now face to face. "Greetings your grace." the woman said with a bow "greetings, I apologize but I don't know your name." said the youngest of the siblings "it is alright me'lady, my name is Shijirra it is an honor to meet you." as the strange woman said the Daenerys smiled a bit "you are too kind, where is it you come from?" the young Targaryen asked "I from a distant land your grace, my ship was caught in a storm and I awoke in the free cities some decades ago." the strange woman said. Daenerys then felt happy that she survived such an ordeal but she wanted to see what the woman looked under hood, and as if she knew what Daenerys was going to ask she removed her hood to reveal herself to the Targaryen. Daenerys was a bit shocked to what she was seeing "do not be alarmed your grace I come from race from my home land, we are called khajiit." as she explained to Daenerys the young Targaryen show great interest.
As the day went on the two seemed to have grown a friendly bond with one another, Shijirra had told Daenerys more about her homeland of Elswhere and Tamriel. it was then that Daenerys asked the traveling khajiit if she could remain with her and her brother, to her surprise Shijirra accepted the offer and would act as her personal bodyguard.
Across the narrow sea:
Scar-face was practicing his skills with a training dummy as Ned and Robbert were getting ready for a hunt, he and Jon stayed behind to keep up with their training. As the hunting party began to leave Bran started to climb the walls of Winterfell as he always does, Scar-face saw the young Stark climb one of the towers and went to follow him. As Bran climbed higher and higher Summer started to whimper in worry for the Stark boy, the scared argonian walked up to the young direwolf and looked up to see Bran still climbing now he began to worry about the young boy. As Bran got closer to the window to the tower he heard the sound of a women, he then went to investigate only to see something he should not have. "Stop! stop!" Cersei said to her brother as he then saw Bran who tried to run but almost fell, but the kingslay caught him in time "are you completely mad?" he said to Bran "he saw us." the queen repeated to her brother "I heard you the first time." he replied "quite the climber aren't you?" he said to Bran who started to calm down a bit. Jaime looked at his sister "the things I do for love." he said be for shoving the boy off the edge of the window, as Bran plummeted Scar-face ran to where the boy would fall and caught him. The two laid on the ground but as Scar-face rose he saw the unconscious boy in his arms, he then lifted the boy up and ran to master Luwin with haste for he was worried for the young Stark.
The next day came as Catelyn remained by her son's side for most of the night, but Scar-face on the other hand was more focus on his duty of protecting the members of house stark more then ever. As he swung his blade at the training dummy he was visited by someone unexpected "Impressive skills, for a beast." the argonian turned to see the king slayer "an honor to meet you as well king slayer." Jaime just gave a smirk after hearing his titled insult "brave thing you did for the stark boy, to bad he's not awake to thank you." as Jaime said that Scar-face struck the training dummy with enough force he cleaved it in half from the left shoulder to the right side of the waist. "Very impressive, you'd do well to use that strength to serve the starks like a good pet." Jaime said still wearing is trade mark smirk "and you'll do well to be at Robbert's side instead of your sister's." this caused Jaime's smirk to fade. Scar-face glared at the elder son of Tywin Lannister only to have Jon grip his shoulder, the king slayer then left the two to get ready to leave for the trip back to king's landing. "He's not worth getting yourself killed Scar, besides lord stark is going need you by his side." Jon told his friend, Scar-face turned to face him "your right Jon but there is something I wish to talk to you about." after he said that Jon almost knew what he was going to say "I know you wish to join the night's watch Jon, but at least see the world before taking the black." Jon had heard his uncle Benjen who also wanted him to give more thought before taking the black. "Then tell me what reason is for me to join them besides seeing the world?" he asked "there stark must always be at Winterfell, Bran will need you and Robb by his side. You may not bare the stark name but you share their blood." Scar-face told Jon to which it got him to think, the two walked to the stables "Jon I have a gift for you from a stranger." the argonian said lifting a covered object. Jon took the object but before he could uncover Scar-face stopped him "when the time comes use this gift to defend house stark." as he said that he sat upon his mount and went to meet up with lord stark and the traveling party.
A few days had passed since the king and Ned left Winterfell, the traveling party had stopped at inn for some rest. No longer in the north Scar-face was now baring a black leather attire (vampire armor) but still carried his strongest sword, the day went quite smoothly with little problems. Not far away he saw Arya playing with her friend, but as they were playing they didn't notice when Sansa and Joffery appeared. Sansa called out to her sister and the two children stopped it was then that Scar-face knew he had to step in to avoid an incident for he knew about the prince for being cruel, but as he got closer Joffery drew his sword on the young boy. "Joffery leave him be." the argonian said to which got the prince's attention "and why should I monster." as he said that his blade began to slowly slice Mika's cheek "if you wish to fight someone then face someone who can fight back." the starks sworn sword said as he unsheathed his blade. Joffery was struck by fear by the appearance of Scar-face's sword, the blade was black as night an the back of the blade was jagged and barbed. The prince now enraged for being made a cowered charged at Scar-face, the two blades clashed causing sparks to fly. As the two clashed the three spectators could only watch as the conflict ended in it's own way, Scar-face then used his tail causing Joffery to fall on his knee and with one strong swing of his sword just as Joffery brought his sword up Scar-face's blade cut through his sword but barely missing Joffery shoulder. Joffery's arm shook with fear as Scar-face could have killed him, Scar-face then sheathed his sword "Arya, Sansa return to the inn." he said as the two did as they were told. He then looked down at the trembling prince "your very lucky, if it were a bandit you fought against you would be dead." he then helped him up "if your are to be king one day you'd best grow a pair otherwise you'll be too easy to defeat." after that he left to returned to Ned and the rest of the traveling party.
A/N: that's it for chapter four, I apologize for the delay and I also apologize if there any errors for the past few weeks I had some bad writers block and was trying my hardest to come up with another character to introduce. And yes there will be some meager changes and some stuff will remain the same, but some deaths will happen but as before no spoilers.
