Chapter 7: Protectors of wolves and dragons
Jon remained within Winterfell with Bran and Rickon to ensure his brothers were well protected he wasn't alone in this matter, Will was no longer a prisoner and served as best he could. Jon and Bran were doing their best to keep the peace in their home while Robb headed south with his banner men, a raven had been sent to them from Riverrun that Scar-face had arrived there and that he had Jory take Arya with while he distracted the city watch who had pursued him. But they had no word on when they would arrive in Riverrun and would no doubt send men to look for them, Jon had worried for Ned and his sisters some time now but all he could do is hope for their safe return and an end to the war. But it was only wishful thinking at best, but it was the best they can do until they knew for sure that Eddard and Sana would be returned safely.
River lands:
Scar-face had been given a handful of Tully men to search for Arya and Jory, almost a week had past and with Gregor and his men raiding the river lands there was an ever present danger should Arya get captured by the mountain. He had also heard that Beric dondarrion had been in the river lands, no doubt still hunting for the mountain and his men but things have changed. The men have stopped along the road for rest and began setting up camp, as the men sat by the fire everyone spoke of many things but the one thing that was of great concern was lord Hoster Tully's health. The father of lady Stark was nearing the end of his life and It could be any day, although Edmure was older then Robb and younger then Ned he was still not ready to lead his house for showed some arrogants but he would have to see if the son of Hoster could prove him wrong. Night had come quickly and the men were already falling to sleep they would be ready to search for the young Stark on the morning, but it wasn't long till Scar-face heard howling "wolves, they must be on a hunt." one of the Tully men who was still awake said but the howling was very distinct. This caught the argonian's attention "men get up." he said as he walked to his mount "what for?" one of the men asked "that was a dire wolf howling, which means Arya isn't far." he responded to which his men followed suit and at once they rod to where they heard the howling.
Jory and Arya had managed to escape king's landing without any problems, as they rode along the king's road they had seen only a few villages that were still intact. They chose to stay in one of the remaining villages for the night, "how much longer till we reach Riverrun?" Arya asked "only a few more days milady." Jory responded. As they were about to sleep for the night the village is invaded by Lannister men, Jory went to see how many men were attacking and saw that the village was over run. It wasn't long till they heard the sound of swords clashing and men screaming, a Lannister solider barged into the house Jory and Arya were staying in only to see a cruel black blade go through his back and out his chest. The blade then retracted from the men as he fell, they then saw who it was who plunged the blade into the Lannister solider "about time I found you two." the argonian said with a smile. Jory then saw as Tully men battled with Lannister soldiers, both Jory and Scar-face ran to assist the Tully men who were fighting. Although few in number the Tully fighters along with Jory and Scar-face were beating the invading Lannisters, Arya watched the battle from a safe hiding place but a Lannister solider spotted her. As he got closer Arya was about to run till Nymeria her dire wolf attack the man and tore him apart, after most of the Lannister soldiers were killed only three survivors rod off. Scar-face sheathed his sword "how many men we lost?" he asked on of the Tully men "none ser, some injured but no losses." one of the men responded "good, we set up camp and help any villager who was caught in the attack. We return to Riverrun first light." Scar-face said as he walked over to the young Stark "are you alright?" he asked to which she nodded. Scar-face the walked her to the campfire with Jory and Nymeria following close by "never took you to be a commander of sorts." Jory said to which Scar chuckled "I was in a war once, and led men into dangerous odds and won." he told his friend as the sat by the fire.
Vaes Dothrak:
It had been some time since Viserys's death, after the attempt on Daenerys's life Khal Drogo swore that he will to take the iron throne for his son. The dothraki horde had ransacked a number of villages even Oraa had taken part in the attacks, the latest attack was on a lamb men's village. Though Khal Drogo wasn't the only Khal who was attacking the village, another Khal by the name Mogo. After saving one of the women Daenerys went to her husband and saw him speaking with Mogo who had been angered by her actions, Oraa and Shijirra were ready for a fight but it was Khal Drogo who saw fit to deal with the man. The fight was not long for Drogo tore open Mogo's throat with his own blade and ripped his tongue out through the wound, although the battle was brief Drogo had gained an injury. The first person to jump at the offer was one of the women Daenerys saved, but Shijirra stepped forward and did what she could for the wound. Oraa took the woman named Mirri Maz Duur for interrogation, the rest of the Khalasar had taken many slaves to sell to the slavers.
River lands:
After rescuing Arya and Jory Scar-face had a raven set to Robb that his sister was safe, and that he will be returning to king's landing to save lord Eddard Stark from his fate. Scar had been riding day and night to the pit of snakes where his lord remains a prisoner, he had taken 20 Tully men with him he would see that the man who gave a place in his home freed. The journey was long but the group did their best to avoid being noticed, but there were some unavoidable confrontations but they proved victorious against any Lannister men they ran into but they we're very fortunate they had not ran into the mountain. Before they left from Riverrun Scar-face had his sword reforged into a great sword, after stopping Lannister men from raiding the villages they passed he had gained the respect and loyalty of the men who were with him.
After weeks of riding they had reached the edge of king's landing, but they had to disguise themselves so not to attract attention and not to be spotted as they entered the city. As the walked through the gates they blended with a group of traveling merchants, every step they took was a very risky one but Scar-face was willing to sacrifice himself for house Stark. One of his men walked up to him "ready the men, carry cross bows if you can and keep you blades ready for anything." he told him to which the men nodded and went to the others. As they got further into the city they saw a large crowd forming at the great sept of baelor and the followed, the mob was large and called for blood Scar-face and his men began moving to the front of the mob and tried their best to get into position. As the men got into place Scar saw guards bring out Ned, the man had seen better days he still had a limp do to his injured leg. As the lord of Winterfell walked to the front of the sept someone threw a stone at him, after he reach the front he looked at the mob who wanted his head. Scar could only watch as Eddard confessed to false crimes, this furthered his anger for he knew Eddard was a man of honor. "Ser Ilyn, bring me his head." Joffrey ordered the man know as Ilyn Payne all but complied by unsheathing ice, now was the moment to free his lord from this fate. Scar-face removed his disguise and unsheathed his daedric great sword, "this mockery of justice ends now!" he said as he ran to his lords side. The gold cloaks and Lannister men attempted to stop him only to be met with bolts hitting their targets, Ilyn Payne attempted to face the argonian only to be cleaved in half. "kill them, kill them all!" was all the false king could yell out as his men fought against the men who came to free Eddard Stark, the mob was now in a panic as the fight was breaking out. Scar-face cut his lord's bindings "run Ned, the realm needs you alive." he said to him as men of the city watch came charging, Eddard picked up ice and removed the first men of the watch's head clean off "I won't leave without Sansa." he said as he stood by his comrade. Not far Sansa attempted to escape but had been caught by Ser Meryn Trant "where do you think your off to." he said as he dragged her to the queen, but before he could reach Cersei or Joffrey someone grabbed him and snapped his neck. Sansa looked to see who saved her only to see the hound "you'll be alright little bird." he said as he helped her, Scar-face and Ned were heading to the horses as were the remaining Tully men. The group saw as Sandor aided Sansa to them, but as they walked a bolt flew fast and found it's way into Scar-face's chest piercing his heart. Scar fell from his hors one of the Tully men tried to help him "get them out of the city." he said as he began to cough up blood, the group then took off leaving Scar-face as he was slowly dyeing.
The river lands:
It had been two weeks since lord Eddard Stark and the group fled king's landing, Ned was uncertain of Sandor's motive for help Sansa but he was glad he and his daughter were away from king's landing. But he had lost a loyal friend in the process, Scar-face had served house Stark ever since he was welcomed into their home. Now all they needed to do is reach Riverrun and meet up with Robb and his banner men, it would be a challenge for the river lands were still under attack by the Lannisters and that meant Gregor Clegane was an ever looming danger.
The next day they were on the road to Riverrun, but as they rod they met someone unexpected. Yoren was on the road as well for he was bringing men to the wall, "greetings lord Stark, glad to see you still have your head." he said to the lord of Winterfell "it was thanks to my sworn sword that we made it out of the city my the gods give him peace." he said to the man of the night's watch. As Ned spoke to him he noticed someone among the men who were to be men of the night's watch, it was Gendry luckily he managed to make it out of the city before Cersei could kill Robert's bastards. Ned had spoken to Yoren about letting Gendry go with him to which he had no problems with, the group was staying in a barn for the night. Mostly everyone was resting but the Tully men were acting as sentries to alert the group of incoming danger.
Winterfell:
Bran served as lord of Winterfell while his brother rod south, Jon and master Luwin did their best to help the young Stark. At times Bran worried he wouldn't see his family again, for many die in wars and Tywin Lannister was an experienced leader. As each day went on they did there best to rid themselves of worries, but even in the north there some dangers that could not be avoided. Not to long ago some wildlings were captured but only two were kept alive, but one was kept in a cell. A raven was sent to Winterfell from Riverrun, Jon had read the letter but it held both good and bad. Bran was practicing his archery and was getting better every day, thanks to Scar-face saving him from the fall Bran was able to walk and was very glad he could still do the things he enjoyed. Jon watched his brother practice but he didn't know how to give him the new, he would have to wait till the time was right to tell Bran.
