Chapter 7: Old Friends and Scars (2/2)

Jon Arryn:

The Hand of the King was currently sitting on a table, drinking with Eddard Stark and Maege Mormont. They have just came out of Tywin Lannister solarium, as Lady Mormont requested a day to give Tywin her answer.

"What does Tywin hope to achieve by marrying his son to one of Lady Mormont's daughters?" Eddard asked in confusion.

Jon gulped a bit of wine before he spoke. "Well... Tywin has been trying to find a wife for his youngest son for some time now." He explained to Eddard. "His... umm... appareance, doesn't exactly gives him a lot of options."

"Oh, I see." Eddard also has a drink of wine. "Lady Maege, the decision is yours but I must warn you that the first option is certainly not advisable to take." He told Lady Mormont.

"I agree, whatever involvement that your nephew had with this mess, it certainly doesn't obligate you to pay for the damage caused mostly by House Drumm." Jon also add it.

Though Jon had to agree that the other two options also had it's problems. Giving up a House's Valyrian Steel sword is not exactly an easy or fair sacrifice. But marrying the younger son into a house with no male heirs is not something easy either. Tywin will definitely demand the oldest daughter which is technically the heir of the house. Jon concluded.

"I must discuss with my daughters before making any decision." She replied as she stood up. Maege came to Casterly Rock accompanied by her first and third daughters. "Excuse me, my lords."

She left the table that they were sitting, leaving Jon and Eddard alone. Jon grabbed the flaggon of wine and refilled both his cup and Ned's. "What a mess." He commented before drinking it. "How's everything at Winterfell?"

"Cat is fine, though she wasn't exactly very accepting of the boy." Eddard was referring to Theon Greyjoy. "Robb, Jon and Sansa are growing well, and my daughter, Arya, is healthy."

"Good, I hope Raziel gets along with them when he fosters in the north." Jon was hopeful.

"I must say, I was quite impressed with the boy." Eddard told him. "His ability with the sword is quite advanced for a boy of his age."

"You'll be surprised, I saw him besting several squires that were older than him." Jon sincerely only saw Raziel losing three times, and it was with against much older boys.

"Robb and Jon had started their training recently, though I must say that Jon possesses more talent with a sword than Robb." He explained to Jon.

"Maybe Robb is a better commander than a fighter, just like you." Jon spoke with a smile. Eddard is an average fighter at best, but he's a great commander.

"Maybe you're right." Eddard agreed with him. "So, what do you think Robert's boy is?" He asked in curiosity.

"Honestly," Jon seemed to be in deep thought. "I think Raziel is a one of a kind."

Raziel Baratheon:

"Stay still!"

It turns out that his father's idea to fight against a Lion using only a knife. Was not a good idea. The moment the Lion charged at the King, though he initially did a good job, by stabbing the Lion on the eye. It wasn't enough to killed, and it scratched the King's chest with it's paws.

His father fell on the ground the moment the paws finished cutting through his skin. The two guards were quick to try to save his father. Unfortunately, only one of them was a member of the Kingsguard, since his father detested having them around. Raziel also asked Sandor to stay at Casterly Rock due to not needing him around for this hunt.

The Kingsguard tried to swing his sword at the Lion, which Raziel thought it was stupid. A longsword is a pretty bad weapon in this situation. It's not heavy enough to put down a lion with one swing, and not long enough to stab the lion from safety. Raziel was right, the moment that the Kingsguard, that Raziel sincerely doesn't remember his name, tried to stab the Lion with his sword. Was quickly pushed into the ground, when the Lion jumped on him. Even though he was wearing full plate, the Kingsguard was not wearing a helmet due to the heat. Which caused the Lion to bite his unprotected face, completely devouring half of it.

The other guard, which was a knight of House Lannister. Tried to slash the Lion with his sword. Though it landed, it wasn't heavy enough to do any serious damage, it honestly only made the Lion more anger. Which caused it to jump on him, like the member of the Kingsguard.

While all of this happened, the Prince was quick to climb on a nearby tree in order to keep his distance. The height was better for his aim, he quickly picked an arrow and pointed at the Lion. That just killed the Lannister guard.

Raziel was ready to shoot but when he was about to do it. His father stood up and attacked the Lion again.

Currently his father was wrestling with the Lion. He put it on a headlock, holding the knife with his teeth. Raziel was trying to aim his bow, but his father couldn't keep the Lion still.

The King then reached for the knife and tried to stab the Lion on the nearest target, the ear. But the moment that he pierced through the Lion's ear. It released very loud roar, which stunted the King for a bit, causing him to lose his grip.

The Lion then breaks free from the headlock, and delivers a scratch to the King's arm. "AAAAHHH!" His father screamed.

Luckily, before the Lion could tackle the King into the ground. The Prince shoot an arrow, that landed perfectly on the Lion's torso. But that also gave away his location. Before Raziel could shoot another arrow however, the Lion charged towards the tree.

The Prince tried to shoot another arrow, but he missed due to the Lion moving too fast. He tried to again but to the same result. Damn, just two arrows left. Raziel thought as he reached to grab more arrows to shoot. I have to wait for it to get closer. He thought calmly.

Unfortunately for the Prince, the Lion decided to get to close. What?! In an unbelievable moment, the Lion started to climb on the tree that Raziel was on top of, with it's paws.

The Lion got into the top of the tree, relatively quick. Raziel had to move back a bit, as the Lion couldn't get passed the branches of the tree that were blocking it's path. Though it didn't stop the Lion from trying to attack Raziel with it's left paw.

As the Lion tried and failed to reach Raziel, he had an idea. He moved slightly close but not too close to the Lion. "Come on." He spoke to it. When the Lion reached it's paw far enough, Raziel grabbed one of it's two remaining arrows and stabbed the Lion's paw with it.

The Lion released another loud roar as a response. Which as oppose to his father, didn't stunted Raziel as he used the opportunity to use his last arrow to stab the Lion's other paw, which was what it using to keep it's grip on the tree.

In a split second, the Lion fell down from the tree and smashed hard in the ground. Raziel moved towards the edge of the tree, and he sees the Lion collapsed on the ground. Is it dead? Raziel asked himself.

Until the Prince sees it moving again. Oh no, I don't have any more arrows. Raziel thought as he only had his bow, which was worthless without arrows.

But, while the Prince was trying to think of a solution to the problem. He sees his father, still bleeding from the cuts, walking towards the Lion.

Once he was close enough, the King pulled the knife that was still pierced through the Lion's ear. "Raziel, get down from there." His father ordered him.

Raziel made a confused face, he hesitated from a second. But when he saw that the Lion wasn't going to stand up. He obeyed his father.

He climbed down from the tree and approached his father. His father had a menacing look on his face. But it quickly disappeared and he returned to his usual smile. "Ha! Your first hunt and you kill a fucking Lion."

Raziel raised his left brow. "Ummm... Father, it's not dead yet." He pointed out.

"Not for long," The King handed his hunting knife to the Prince. "You're the one who put it down, you should be the one to end his life."

Raziel grabbed his father's knife and stared at the fallen Lion. It looked helpless and in looked at Raziel with it's brown. He looked at it for a bit. I wonder if we can cook it to see what a Lion taste like. Raziel thought it

Then he started to stab the Lion's torso several times. Over and over again, making several holes on the Lion. At each stab, some of the Lion's blood spilled on Raziel's face and clothes.

After the Prince stabbed the Lion several times, he finally stopped and pulled back to see if the Lion was truly dead.

"You stabbed a few more times than necessary but it's better to be safe than sorry." His father commented before patting Raziel's head.

Raziel turned around to look at his father, who had cuts on his chest and arm from the Lion's attack. "Are you okay? That doesn't look good." Raziel asked.

"This ain't shit, you should have seem how I was during the battle of the bells." His father spoke in a genuine unworried tone. "Now, come on." He told him. "We need to get your first hunt back to the castle."

Eddard Stark:

"What the hell were you thinking?!"

The Lord of Winterfell's stay on Casterly Rock keeps getting more and more memorable, if you could call like that.

During the afternoon, his best friend returned from his hunting trip with his son bringing a Lion's and Deer's. It turns out that a Lion attacked them during the hunt and killed the two guards that were with them. And instead of fleeing, Robert decided to fight against the Lion using only a knife.

Both Eddard and Jon slapped their foreheads in deep frustration when Robert gave them the details. Though he could expect Robert to do something so foolish, he simply couldn't believe how reckless he acted with his son's safety at risk.

Which was made worse by how much he was boasting about Raziel being the one who killed the Lion.

Both Ned and Jon were standing in front of Robert as the Maester was checking on his injuries.

"You should have seen it, if I didn't loosed my grip when the Lion was roaring on my ear, I could have dropped it into the ground." Robert was speaking he was having the cuts on his chest stiched by the Maester.

He's never going change. Something that Ned didn't know if it was a good thing or s bad thing. Although, Eddard was curious about something. "How did you brought both the Lion and the deer carcasses?"

"Ah, I put the deer carcass on my horse, and tied the Lion's on the guard's horses and had them pull it." Robert answered his questions. "It was Raziel's idea."

"Speaking of Raziel, where is he?" Jon asked Robert.

"Ahh, the woman wanted bath him because he was covered on the Lion's blood." Robert spoke in annoyance. "She should have waited until we got to skin the deer and the Lion."

"You can do that after the Maester finishes treating your injuries." Ned told him.

Raziel Baratheon:

"I'm killing that drunken buffon for this!"

"Mother, please don't."

The Prince was currently on a bath, being scrubbed by his mother. Who sincerely didn't had the best of reaction, when he told her what happened.

"Shame that the guards didn't make it." Raziel commented as his mother scrubbing his left arm.

"They died doing what they're supposed and failing at it." His mother bluntly spoke. "Don't feel sorry for incompetent guards."

She does have point, though it's not like like they were equipped to face a Lion. Raziel thought.

His mother then started to scrub his back, and while she did it. Raziel thought about Symeon. I wonder if he was okay with staying on my room alone. Raziel wondered.

The Prince then looked at his mother for a second and noticed that she looked very upset. "Are you okay, Mother?"

"No, I'm not okay!" She yelled at him with startled him s bit. "You could have died by that idiotic buffon's recklessness and for what?! His foolis-" His mother started to drop a lot of insults and complaints.

But Raziel felt bad and decided to do something. So he turned around. "I'm sorry, please don't be upset." Raziel told her as he reached for his mother's cheek with his left hand. She caught his hand and held it tightly, rubbing it against her cheek. Seeing that, Raziel decided to go a little further, so he put his right hand on his mother's breast and makes a request. "Can I suck on them?"

His mother seemed surprised by that request, as she's the one who asks him to do it. But her surprised face was quickly replaced by a smile.

It worked, she isn't upset anymore. Raziel thought while smiling back at her.

Suddenly, his mother stood up from the chair that was besides the bath and started to undo the laces on the dark red dress that she was wearing. Soon enough, she undoes all of them and pulls the top of her dress down, revealing her breasts to him.

I don't know why, but I always thought they were beautiful. Raziel thought as his mother sat back on the chair with her breasts exposed.

The Prince then stood up from the bath and wrapped himself around a towel. Before climbing on his mother and sitting on her lap. Before putting his mouth on her left nipple.

"Aahhh..." His mother made a noise once he started to suck on her tit gently.

Jaime Lannister:

"Burn them all!"

"Yes, my King."

"Let him be king over charred bones and cooked meat. Let him be the king of ashes."

Wait what!? Jaime Lannister thought as he just heard the King that he swore to protect, yell that order towards his Hand of the King and watched as he walked outside of the Throne room in order to carry out his order. Leaving Jaime alone with him. Aerys Targaryen the Second of His Name, or as most people preferred to call him, the Mad King. Just looking at him repulsed Jaime, he was the perfect image of a mad man. Very thin and gaunt, looking much older than he actually, his hair was past his shoulders to his waist and matted, his beard tangled, and his fingernails grew to be yellow talons of almost a foot long, and the smell he has was nearly unbearable.

The mad man looked at the blond Knight with his dreadful purple eyes. "I want him dead, the traitor. I want his head, you'll bring me his head, or you'll burn with all the rest. All the traitors." He spoke in that raspy voice of his, while pointing his finger at him, with his large fingernail touching his armor.

Him... My father... Jaime heard what he said loud and clear, and he only had one answer to it. "As you, my King." Taking a deep breath, the member of the Kingsguard moved towards the exit of the throne room, walking as quickly as possible in order to get as far away from him as possible, but once he was out of Mad Aerys's field of vision.

He ran. He ran as fast as he could in order to reach him. I got to stop him! Jaime run as quickly as he could in order to reach Rossart before the fool could carry out the order. He ran, as fast as he could through the empty corridors of the Red Keep. But he could sense the smell of fire coming from outside, arriving at a room where he saw a passage behind a shelve. Jaime was sure that Rossart entered through there, so he decided to follow. Upon entering however, he came across an very humid and narrow. Shit! Too dark! He cursed internally as he couldn't see anything but moved forward either way. It paid off since Jaime ended up finding a source of light eventually, which came on the door of a trap door. Pushing it open, he saw that it led to a storage room.

But once he stepped outside, he could hear loud screams coming from outside. "Fuck." Not wasting anytime, Jaime moved towards a staircase that led to the floor above, but once he got there, he was greeted by an horrible sight.

"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" He saw a overweight girl, being held down by two man and raped by a third one. The three man were wearing Lannister armor. He had an urge to help, but then he looked at the door and saw Rossart running towards a particular direction.

Shit! Having no choice, Jaime ran out of that building. "NOOOOOO!" Ignoring as the poor girl screamed while being violated.

As he ran after Rossart, Jaime couldn't help but see the destruction that his father caused. Corpses everywhere, fire everywhere, screams similar to the girl that he just heard, and people killing each other in the streets. Too busy with their own slaughter to even notice his presence. The blond boy did his best to ignore his surroundings but it was futile, all that he could do was move forward. Eventually, he saw Rossart entering somewhere, so Jaime followed him. Upon entering, Jaime saw that it was actually the Guildhall of the Alchemists, realizing that the secret passage actually lead him to the foot of Visenya's Hill.

The Lion of Lannister entered that dreadful place in search of the Hand of the King. But it didn't took long for him to find him, since the place was empty and all he had to do, was follow the smell of wildfire. There he was, in the middle of a room filled with vials of Wildfire, ready to be used. It only took a few seconds for the fool to notice Jaime presence.

"You dare to betray the King!" That was the first thing that the idiot told Jaime.

"I dare to stop a mad man from performing the ultimate act of madness." Jaime jested as he prepared himself to draw his blade.

Rossart simply chuckled, before he took one of the vials and tried to toss it into Jaime, who simple slapped away with the palm of his hand that had a gauntlet on. The fool then tried to attack Jaime with a dagger that he was carrying, attempting to stab him with the blade in a reverse grip. Only for Jaime to easily grab his wrist with his left hand and his throat with his right one. Wasting no time, Jaime smashed him into the wall on his left and the impact caused him to fall into the floor. Then Jaime drew his sword. "At least you put an effort." He commented before stabbing his chest with the sword.

Taking a deep breath, Jaime left that place as he couldn't take the smell of wildfire anymore. But as soon as he walked out, all that he saw was more death, there were a bunch of smallfolk lynching a Lannister guard on the middle of the street. Moving his gaze away from that, Jaime was forced to see a different sight, the sight of the Red Keep. Seeing that only made him feel worse, fury, disgust and dread, those were the things that The Young Lion was feeling at the moment. "It's not fucking over yet." Taking a deep breath, Jaime made his way back to the castle from the way he came. The chaos around him seemed to be too busy to even acknowledge him, sadly, entering the building where the secret passage was located, all that he saw there, was the woman, with her throat sliced open. Closing his eyes in deep shame, Jaime simply moved to the secret passage. He barely noticed due to the draining feeling inside his chest, but he made it back to the Red Keep relatively soon.

Taking very slow steps towards the Throne room, Jaime knew what he had to do. But he was still having doubts. Step after step after step, until he eventually arrived back at that damn throne room with the ugly chair. And there he was, right where Jaime left him. The Mad man whom he had to serve and stand by as he murdered innocents and raped his own Queen, with the screams he heard when he was forced to guard their room echoing through his ears.

Approaching him slowly, Jaime was just waiting to hear his pathetic voice one last time. "All the traitors. Rossart says they are inside the walls! He's gone to make them a warm welcome." He was speaking nonsense to Jaime as always. "Whose blood? Whose?" He asked as he saw Jaime approaching him with a bloody sword at his hand.

"Rossart's." Jaime informed him with a pained smirk on his face.

That was the last thing that Jaime said before he climbed the Iron Throne after Aerys.

"BURN THEM ALL!"

Those words echoed through his mind, which caused to open his eyes.

I have to be honest, I don't think this chapter is very good. I sincerely doubt the quality of my writing most of the time.

As always, thanks everyone who followed and favorite my story. And I sincerely hope that when I finally fix my computer, I can deliver better quality chapters.

Questions and Answers:

Q: Yep still as happy as ever when this is updated

Such a odd picture does Ned being in Casterly Rock make haha

Yep the way people reacted to Symeon is about how I expected it heck maybe Cersei can warm up to the white lion when she sees how well trained and loyal it is to Raziel oh and hope unlike the hero Symeon hope our lion Symeon keeps both its eyes oh and yes I do like the name you gave him

You know I have a slight feeling Tywin is fishing for Eddard and Maege to take option 3 surprised that was an option but I suppose Tywin was trying to find Tyrion a wife around this time despite how he is with Tyrion anyway if they do go with Tyrion marrying one of Maeges daughters I'd go with him marrying her second eldest Alysane

Reason being it's the match that has the least amount of potential future headaches because if he marries Dacey then it'll become a question of what name do they take and maybe even who bear island swears fealty to in a worse case scenario not that I think the Lannister's would make a big effort to steal the island from the north

Probably just me over thinking things but yeah I'd have Tyrion marry Alysane and it keeps the island in Mormont hands plus marrying the two works out as the least costly haha

Robert taking Raziel on a hunt and teaching him all about how to hunt was actually really nice to see as for Robert fighting a lion with a knife Hm this is Robert not long after the Greyjoy rebellion so while he's a bit heftier than he was back in his own rebellion he should still be in decent enough shape and strong

Hm while I think he's going to get some nasty claw marks on him I think Robert can take the lion maybe with a bit of help from Raziel putting an arrow in it if need be

Replying to the reply's

Well when it comes to fancy swords now with Red Ryne and Longclaw out I'd say the swords I'd most like to see him get his hands on are Blackfyre and Darksister and Brightroar if not them maybe Truth or Orphan Maker

So the currently unnamed Daughter of Petyr and Lysa will have her looks based off Sophia Lillis so she will be pretty then and well since her parents only had one trait in common im hoping Raziel returning her affections while make a potential obsession turn into a deep passion and loyalty and love for him

This is me operating under the belief that the shared trait between Petyr and Lysa being how obsessed they are over the person they love

Also hoping this unnamed daughter has a role as Raziel's future mistress of either whispers or coin I know apparently only the master of whispers post can be held by either a man or woman but nothing to say Raziel can't reform the small council so either gender can hold any of the council positions

But yeah hope Raziel hopefully returning the affections the girl has for him leads to her having much better mental health than either of her parents and also can I be a bit cheeky and ask for the name of her so I can stop referring to her as unnamed daughter haha

Looking forward to next time

A: Or maybe he could an completely original sword and there are lots in existence.

Your suspicion is correct. She will be for Raziel, what Mysaria was for Daemon Targaryen. {A little hint: She has the same name as the one that a certain red head used when she was pretending to be the bastard daughter of s certain Lord of Harrenhal}

Q: Okay I have a few questions:

Will Raziel know some form of Unarmed combat? I mean, him being able to beat both Smalljon and Greatjon in a fist fight is quite the achievement.

What will be the weapons that he will possess? I hope he doesn't just use a Sword and Bow.

Is Raziel gonna get a new weapon on each house that he stays?

You said that Raziel is gonna keep Mya, so I'm assuming that she's the Vale's companion. Will she wield a weapon or she will play a different role on Raziel's group?

Do you plan on maybe have have Raziel explore Old Valyria?

A: Raziel will be a straight up brawler with some wrestling skills.

Don't worry, he will have quite the arsenal with some additional weapons that we didn't saw on the main story.

Yes.

She will wield a weapon,and have a swift and deadly style that focuses on speed, balance and grace.

Yes, but unfortunately he will do it as a prisoner of a certain psychopath with an eye patch.

Q: You updated so slow and so les that I forgot the timeline itself,

A: Dude, take a look on my profile. I have an lot of stories to update, which are all delayed thanks to my PC being broken. Sorry but I'm updating as quick as i can and even I don't like the speed.

Q: Great chapter

I rememberd you mentioned that Lysa and Peytr have a daughter I hope she joins the harem as depending on which traits she gets from her parents could be very interesting as if she has his father's mind and her mother..ah heart should be interesting to see.

A: Let's just say... she got all of the right amount of her father traits and an obsession with the right guy.

Q: Hey if u ever could, could u mask a list of his harem?

A: It's a surprise sorry.
