(Lancel POV)
The next day, Lisa meets Daenerys in the garden of Illyrio's mansion.
"Seriously, do I have to train?" Daenerys asks her brother Viserys
"Yes, I will also practice by your side" Viserys tells him, after putting some fruits on the table for Lady Ashara
"Let's start" Lisa says to the two brothers
"Okay" Viserys tells him taking a wooden sword
"I don't like the sword" Daenerys tells Lisa
"But only in this I can train you" Lisa tells him with frustration
"Do you want to practice with the bow?" I ask Daenerys
"Yes, it will be much better" Daenerys answers me with a smile
"Then you will only have to teach Prince Viserys" I tell my sister
"Okay" Lisa tells me in agreement, while practicing with Viserys
"We'll go with Illyrio" I say taking Daenerys by the hand and going with her to look for him
Arriving outside the saloon doors...
"Tell Illyrio to let me see him" I say to a maid
"Wait a moment" the maid tells me going in to look for him
After a while, the maid comes out and leads us into the presence of Illyrio, who is sitting down, and many armed guards around him.
"What do you want?" Illyrio asks me spitefully
"You can get a good archer to teach Princess Daenerys" I say seriously him
"Why would I listen to you?" Illyrio asks me with a frown.
"I won't repeat myself, I don't really like to kill right and left, so I'm leaving" I say taking Daenerys by the hand and leaving the room
"Why do you treat him like this?" Daenerys asks me
"He is not a good person, he only seeks benefits for himself, so if they give him a lot of money, he would not hesitate to sell you and your family" I reply her
"Well" Daenerys tells me with a nervous smile
"Let's go with the others, I need to say goodbye" I tell her
In the garden...
"I have to go, I don't know if I'll be back soon" I tell them
"Take care" Lisa tells me with a warm hug
"I will" I say returning the hug
"We'll be waiting for you, take care" Viserys tells me shaking my hand
"Take care of Lady Ashara," I tell him, waving a hand toward the seat she's sitting on.
"I will do it with great pleasure" Viserys tells me with a kind smile
"I'll leave you here for a while, it's your decision when to come back" I say to Lady Ashara
"Okay, take care" Lady Ashara tells me with a cheerful smile
"Goodbye Princess" I say to Daenerys with a slight bow
"Goodbye Ser Lancel" Daenerys tells me with a smile
'System send me to the room in Sunspear' I say to the system, at the moment I disappear from the presence of everyone I was with. The next moment I go out to find Ser Arthur and Oberyn
"I'm back. It's time we left too" I say to Oberyn and Ser Arthur
"Before you go, I want us to play a few rounds of chess" Rhaenys tells me with an angelic smile, which seems evil to me
"Okay" I tell her sitting down with obvious depression on my face
After suffering another round of defeats, I ask the system to take Ser Arthur and Oberyn with me to the location of the ship I always travel on.
Appearing on the boat, I notice that we are close to reaching the Wall, I feel a bit tired from traveling, so I tell Oberyn to lead the conversation with the ship's captain
"How long until we reach Eastwatch by the Sea?" Oberyn asks the captain
"Prince Oberyn, we'll be there in an hour" the Captain tells him, he is no longer surprised by the appearances we make on the ship, he only sees the money he receives, so he doesn't ask questions
(Oberyn's POV)
An hour later, we are arriving at the location, I look behind me at Lancel, he is tired and staring at the Great Wall
"Haven't you seen her in your visions?" I ask, to which also Ser Arthur pays attention
"No, that's why I was looking at the Great Wall" Lancel answers me with his eyes lost in the wall
Upon stepping on solid ground, we are greeted by the leader of Eastwatch by the Sea, who introduces himself as Cotter Pyke
"Who are they? And what are they doing here?" Pyke asks us
"We are here to go to the other side of the Wall, I want you to lend me three horses" I order
"I repeat, who are they?" Pyke asks us angrily
"I am Prince Oberyn Martell" I reply with a frown.
"What do you want to do on the other side of the Wall, Prince?" Pyke asks me, and I don't like his tone of voice.
"I want to know what is beyond this place" I answer him
"It is his decision, but I will not give him of the few horses we have at our disposal" Pyke tells us with a frown.
"Take these coins, they will pay enough for your horses" I tell him passing him 10 gold coins
"Thank you Prince, come on I'll show you the way" Pyke tells us leading us through the fortress
"Choose the best horses, and give them to Prince Oberyn" Pyke orders his subordinates
"Prince Oberyn, there are many savages out there, so you should take care of yourself, and the clothes you wear will not protect you from the cold" Pyke tells us offering us three black cloaks
"No need, it won't take long, I estimate a month or two away" I tell them taking one of the horses
"Open the doors" Pyke orders his subordinates
"We're leaving" I say to Ser Arthur and Lancel
"So long, Prince" Pyke tells us, then orders the doors closed when we leave without waiting long to do so.
(Lancel POV)
"From now on I will guide you" I tell them taking the lead towards the enchanted forest
"How soon will we arrive?" Oberyn asks me looking at the snow
"About ten or twelve days, with rest along the way" I tell them knowing more or less, that it is a long way to go.
"You have a lot of food, but why did you leave it on the boat?" Ser Arthur questions me with doubts in his eyes.
"When we go to occupy them, I will bring them, also without carrying a lot of load, the horses will not get tired so soon" I answer him
Passing through the forest I feel observed, I look around and see a weirwood tree, immediately I think of the three-eyed raven, who has in his possession the Valyrian steel sword, Dark Sister, since the sword is designed for the a woman's hand was carried by Vissenya Targaryen, an excellent warrior, I must get it for my sister Lisa, since she still does not have a Valyrian steel sword, she only has a blade of this material
"Let's deviate for a moment, I have to see someone before continuing the trip" I tell them, at the moment I ask the system if it can guide me to the location of Brynden Rivers
<The Host does not have a long time to stay in that place, the mission will fail if it is not present during the start of the attack> the System tells me in my mind
"I'll be there, I won't stay long with Brynden Rivers" I tell him to show me the way
"To who?" Oberyn asks me curiously
"To someone who has lived a long, long time ago" I replied, and I am left thinking that he has indeed lived too long
Turning off, it took us a while to find a frozen lake a little further on. We turned north and continued along the shore. The water was frozen, so we got off the horses and followed the path on foot. We found a village by the lake as the crescent moon began to peek through the clouds. The village was not much different from a dozen other places scattered along the shore.
The village was deserted, abandoned by the savages who had inhabited it. Torch in hand, we found a dozen shacks and a grass-roofed building with thick log walls.
We continue long and arrive at a cave, at the entrance we see a little girl who was looking at the three of us, with a torch in her hand
"Who are you?" Oberyn asks him curiously about the color tone on her skin.
"I am a Daughter of the Forest" the Daughter of the Forest replied and continued "The first men called us children, or children of the forest" said the girl. "The giants called us woh dak nag gran, the squirrel people, because we were small and quick and liked trees, but we are not squirrels or children. In the true language, our name means "those who sing the song of the earth" > Long before your ancient language was spoken, we had already been singing our songs for ten thousand years"
"But you speak in the common tongue" Oberyn reminded her, looking at her strangely.
"I was born in the time of dragons, and for two hundred years I walked through the world of men to see, hear and learn. I would have
I kept walking, but my legs ached and my heart was heavy, so I went home." the Daughter of the Forest told Oberyn
"Let me see the Greenseer" I ask her please
"Our path leads us down" the Daughter of the Forest told us, she pointed the torch towards the black fissure at the bottom of the cave "Now you have to come with me" she started walking without another word
I was right after her, with Ser Arthur and Oberyn following close behind.
