CHAPTER 16
280 AC
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
The door started to bang and someone opened the door really hard. I hand the ravens jumped up from where we were. it was the Winterfell guards.
"Aermir Drasil you are coming with us. The Lord is waiting for you."
"What happened?"
"We don't know. We do not ask questions when ordered to do thing. All I know he asked as to bring you to his solar."
When we arrived there I understood what was happening. Hallis and his grunts were there with their fathers. 4 of them were all bruised and bloodied especially Hallis. His nose was crooked, red and blue in color. The one I kicked in the balls wasn't able to stand so he was sitting. I got his name from the whispering going on around us. He was from a household guard of Stark's and his name is Wyl Flant.
Lord Stark looked at me and said " You are accused of ambushing and assaulting noble born children here today. What say you?"
"It is a lie my lord, they were the one doing the ambush and the assault."
"You lying common street rat do you expect us to believe you beat six, ten years old squires by yourself without an ambush and when they were armed. Nothing but mummery." Said the father of Wyl, Mander Flant.
Another one of the fathers shouted " Who do you want us to believe. You or 6 squires saying you only managed to beat them because of the ambush."
"If I was 10 years old I would have beaten them black and blue with my eyes closed and one hand tied. Only reason 2 of them are able to run away. I m 6 years old now." After I said that all hells broken all of them started to shout and tried to reach me.
"Silence!" shouted Lord Stark. His shout created a deadly silence. He took a deep sigh and looked at me for a few minutes. He turned to the other children got up and started to look into their eyes then said in a really angry tone.
"Did he ambush you or did you all ambush him. If you tell the truth now. You will not be punished but if you lie and truth comes out I will punish you all really heavily."
" My lord we didn't ambush him. We were walking around the castle and then he came out of an dark alley and started to attack us with a wooden sword." Said one of the grunts, after that one of the guards that brought me here showed the lord my bloodied wooden sword.
"What do you say about the proofs they put out?"
"It is all lies my lord yes I beaten them but I cut my way and tried to break my arms. A swordsman's arms, my lord should I have let them do that. If they are telling the truth. Lets then swear upon their ancestors name and soul. What they are saying is the truth."
"Look at the galls on this little rat, how dare you demand something from your betters."
"They were not my betters when they were ambushing and then crying under my sword."
The second I finished talking I knew I made a mistake but it was too late.
SLAPPP!
A big hand hit me with a back hand slap. I fall down to the floor, my ears were ringing and my mouth was full of blood. I think my inner cheek got busted.
"I m sorry for my actions my lord but this commoner cant talk like that to us or our children even thought you favor him."
Lord shakes his head disapprovingly to my words and says nothing. He paces a bit then says "He might gone to far with his words but he is not being unreasonable about the oath."
Right at that moment Rodrik shouts out " All of you should be ashamed of yourselves. All grown man bullying and demanding a 10 flogging punishment for a 6 years old child." Then another ruckus begins.
"Silence! I will decide after getting the oaths of all the children."
One of Hallis's grunt starts his oath " I swear upon my ancestors and their soul what I said is nothing but a truth he ambushed us."
The second he finishes his oath the blinds of the solar opens with a load BANG and a strong wind enters. At the same time the fire in the fireplace grows to 3 time its size.
Woa, AAhh (shocked voices)
Everyone is shocked and some become fearful. Then the second one finishes his oath then the same thing happen again.
BANG! FOOSH!
Woa, AAhh (shocked voices)
Now some of them looks like they are going to shit themselves even the Lord Stark looks confused. Just when the third one was going to open his mouth the same happened again.
Woa, AAhh (shocked and fearful voices)
He squats down and puts his head between his arms, head down. Starts shouting with a frightened voice.
"No,no,no,no,no, we lied, we lied, please forgive us ancestors. We ambushed him and we had sticks too. Please forgive me…
He started crying and begging to be forgiven. That costed all of my mana but it was worth it. I love magic. When he started confessing without stopping. All of their face turned sour upon this and started to whisper to each other.
Rodrik says while shouting and fuming with anger "Now we know how noble your proud sons are from now on I m forbidding them from training with my group, I don't care who trains them. How dare you dirty the name of Stark guard. "
