Chapter 6: A nest of vipers
Scar-face woke to the sounds of kings landing's people going on with their daily lives, after some time he found kings landing to be what he expected nothing but politics and schemers. After dressing in his normal attire he walked the halls for a bit, although there were many guards within kings landing he carried his sword at all times. It wasn't long till he saw another sworn sword walking the halls of the keep, Scar-face had heard the tales of what the hound's brother did to him. After some wondering he had entered the gardens, it surprised him to see a beautiful place within a corrupt city. It wasn't long till someone unlikely appeared "I see your doing well after the attempt on your life." the queen said "thank you your grace, but I would very much like to know why one of your guards kill the assassin." he said trying to get an answer "he was already it was a mercy to end him quickly." Cersei said Scar-face she was lying but chose to say nothing "where are from?" she asked him "I'm from a place far from here called black marsh." he replied "must be a very harsh place." she said with a smirk "indeed it is, for only my kind can only survive it." Scar-face said.
After speaking with the queen Scar-face had grown a sense of fear, for she was dangerous and feared for Eddard's life as well as the stark girls. It wasn't long till he heard the king shouting, he went to investigate only to see lord stark with a serious look to him "what happened?" he asked the lord of winterfell he then noticed the badge of the hand was no longer on him. Both Scar-face and Jory followed Ned the hands chambers not long Petyr Baelish came to the chambers, Jory was sent to get two stark guards men. The argonian had went to retrieve his armor before heading out, he had heard rumors of people thinking he was a deformed Targaryen he merely chuckled at the idea. After preparing himself he went to meet up with lord stark and Jory, he made it to where Petyr brought Ned outside stood the stark men. But he then Lannister men appeared coming down the ally and not far behind was Jaime, Ned came out of the brothel with Jory following close behind "such a small pack of wolves." the elder son of Tywin said "stay back ser, this is the hand of the king." Jory said "was the hand of the king, now i'm not quite sure what he is lord of somewhere very far away." Jaime replied. Apparently word had reached king's landing that Tyrion had been captured by lady Catelyn, Scar-face unsheathed his blade as did the rest of the stark men "come stark, I rather you die sword in hand." Jaime said to the lord of winterfell "if you threaten my lord again." Jory replied getting ready for the fight. "Threaten? as in I'm going to open your lord from balls to brains to see what starks are made of." the king slayer said point his sword at Ned "you kill me, your brother's a dead men." Ned responded to Jaime "your right, take him alive kill his men." Jaime ordered his men. The Lannister guards had killed the two stark guards leaving Eddard, Jory and Scar-face, one of the Lannister men tried to run the argonian through only to loss his head a few others lost their lives to Jory and Ned. Jory then charged at Jaime only to be stopped by a Lannister guard, Scar-face was still under attack by two guards men he ran his sword through one of them and used the dead man's sword against the other cleaving off his arm and head. Ned had finished off a few Lannister guards who thought they would win, Jaime charged at lord stark and the two skilled men's blade clashed. Jory and Scar-face were finishing off what was left of the Lannister guard only for one to catch Ned in the leg with a spear, as Jaime headed to his horse Jory tempted to stop him but had gotten a dagger in the side causing him to fall to his knees. Scar-face had ran to his lord and comrade, "I want my brother lord stark, I want him back." Jaime said as he rode off with two of his remaining men following him. Scar-face removed the spear from lord starks leg and helped him inside Petyr's brothel as well as Jory, the city watch came some time later and took lord stark back to the red keep.
King Robert had made Ned his hand once again and that angered Cersei for lord stark fought one of her brothers and Catelyn captured Tyrion, Scar-face knew this would mean war against starks and lannisters but he worried for the life of lord stark as well as Robert Baratheon. Both he and master Pycelle tended to the injuries of both Ned and Jory, though Ned's injury was not fatal it had to be looked after to ensure it didn't festered. Jory on the other hand was vary lucky, Jaime's blade had missed his vitals and caused a great deal of blood loss thankfully Scar-face carried some positions to help his friend. It would be a great deal of time till Eddard could walk properly for now he would need the use of a cane, but his leg will heal.
The past few weeks had been hell for lord stark and it was beginning to show, Scar-face grew every more worried for the house he served. Robert was right about one thing there was going to be a war, but the argonian didn't think it would be between two great houses. As he walked the halls he saw some of the small council rush in one direction, he soon followed as well to see what had happened. He then saw what had everyone's attention, Robert was mortally wounded during his hunt and had lost a great deal of blood. The sworn sword saw the wound and it was very gruesome not even his potions would help, the king would die soon and this did not bode well for anyone for Joffrey would be king and knowing Cersei she would see Eddard stark dead. He had exited the room as did everyone else, he went to find Jory to warn him and to get Arya and Sansa to the stables so they could return to winterfell. After seeing to Jory Scar-face was returning to his lord's side, he found Eddard along with most of his guard. "Are you sure you want to do this Ned?" he asked "it must be done, the throne belongs to Stannis." lord stark replied "but there is still the Targaryens." Scar-face said which got a serious look from lord stark, the argonian knew of Ned's history with the Targaryens but Daenerys was an innocent and did not deserve to suffer for her fathers actions. But Viserys was different and was old enough to remember what happened to his family prior to his exile.
The stark men walked into the throne room where Cersei was waiting for them as well as her son, Scar-face looked around the throne room and saw every men of the watch and the gold cloaks. "Ser Barristan I believe no man here can question you honor." lord stark said as he hand him a message "king Roberts seal, unbroken." the famed warrior said as he saw the letter. He then opened the letter to see what the now dead king had left in Ned's hands, "lord Eddard stark is here in named protector of the realm, to rule as regent until the hair come of age." ser Barristan said as he read the paper. He then handed the letter to Cersei who proceeded to tare it apart, it was clear that conflict was about start at any moment. As the tension rose time had slowed for Scar-face and in this time one thing went through his mind, one single sentence and as a dragon knight he was close to being dragon born was able to use one shout each dragon knight was taught to use. It was then Joffrey ordered the Lannister guards and the gold cloaks to attack, Scar-face then unsheathed his sword it was then the men of the watch chose to betray lord stark. The stark men fought against the traitors but a few lost their lives, Scar-face was fighting valiantly to defend his comrades but the numbers were against him. One of the men of the watch had slash his left side deeply causing him to bleed badly, "and last words beast." a man of the watch said he smiled a bit and took a deep breath of air and without hesitation he said the words most dragon knights said in combat "yol toor shul." he shouted as he exhaled and a large burst of fire engulfed any men of the watch who were caught in it direction. Some of the men were stricken with fear by the sight but the rest would see him dead, but it was fruitless battle Ned had been captured by Petyr he had one chance to save the stark girls and return them to their mother. He ran for the stables where Jory would be waiting for him and Ned, as he ran he tried his best to loss his pursuers in the allys of king's landing while still healing from his injury. Scar-face's wound was deep but it would heal fast but he lost quite a bit of blood but he was able to continue to the stables, as he nears the stables he sees Jory standing next to a cart with Arya and Nymeria. " Wheres Sansa?" he asked "we couldn't find her, wheres lord stark?" Jory asked the argonian "Jory I need you to get Arya out of king's landing right away." Scar-face said to his friend, Jory was confused till he saw blood on lord starks sworn sword's armor he the nodded. "Aren't you coming with us Scar?" the young girl asked "I'm afraid I can't Arya, promise me you stay out of trouble while with Jory. We will meet again." the argaonian said to her he then looked to her dire wolf "you keep them safe now." he said to the dire wolf who only whimpered a bit, he then got on his guar "we'll meet again at Riverrun, until then stay safe." Scar-face said as he rode his guar out of the city at great speed.
Winterfell:
Catelyn had returned to her home after Tyrion's trial in the eyrie, she had watched her son rule Winterfell as his father did but it wasn't long till they had heard what transpired in king's landing. Robb had called his banner men and was ready to fight the lannisters, Jon knew what was happening it was then he went to his quarters to for the gift Scar-face had left him. As he entered his room he found the object still in the same spot it was in at all times, he slowly took it up and uncovered it. The sword had a white wolf with red eyes as the pommel of it, he saw a letter in the covering that covered the sword. He took it up and read it "a gift from the wall, use it well." the letter said, Jon didn't understand till he unsheathed the blade it was a valyrian steel sword. Jon was filled with joy that he was given such a weapon, he sheathed the sword and attached it to his belt, as he was walking to meet with his half brother he thought back to when Scar-face taught him. The night came and all of house starks loyal banner men sat in the hall as they spoke of battle plans and feasted, Jon sat next to Robb as they were going to be going to war soon everyone were to enjoy the moment but Jon was concerned about those who were in kings landing.
On the king's road:
Scar-face rod his guar as fast he could to escape, the days had pass as he continued to reach Riverrun. He had reached a large river and stopped to let his guar rest, he drank from the river along with his guar. As he drank from the river he felt anger for he could not save his lord and Sansa, he rose to his feet and check his belongings to find he had some food left enough to ensure he reaches Riverrun. After an hours rest he was back on the road, all he could see were what was left in Gregor's attacks. The further he went into the river lands the more he saw of Gregor Clegane's attacks, it made him sick to know that such a man was made a knight but this was Westeros and everything was different but still had some of the same concepts as his home land.
It took him a few days but he made it to Riverrun, it wasn't long till he met with some of the men of Riverrun but he was in luck. The men who met with him were led by Bryden Tully "who are you and what's your business?" the blackfish asked "my name is Scar-face, I am hear to meet with Jory Cassel and Arya Stark." the argonian said "they are not here, you are welcome to stay till they arrive." the brother of Hoster Tully said as he escorted Scar-face into the Tully's keep.
Scar-face had told both Bryden and Edmure of what had happened in king's landing, they were greatly angered that not only did Tywin set the mountain on the river lands but Joffrey captured Ned and held their niece hostage. "any word from Winterfell?" he asked "Robb and his men ride south to meet Tywin on the field." Edmure replied "there still the matter of rescuing lord Eddard." Scar-face said still fearing for his lord. He waited for the arrival of Jory and Arya, it had been weeks since they parted in king's landing and he knew he would have to look for them if anymore days have passed.
