Harranhall / POV

Riding to harranhall was little fast because we have nothing to hold us back and we'll be there tomorrow morning ,And right now we're camping . After we finished our dinner I looked at my squares and ordered others to leave us . I needed to asked this boys about what they think about me and there sisters .

But when I asked them they told me they know everything and the fault is not mine alone. And they added that there exited about having nephews and nieces. I told them they will be bastards ,but they replied that they're own father was bastard too ,, I was taken aback by there positive view . Well I need to reward them somehow, Hmm there will be lots event's and the events will last at least ten days , if they win the squire's melee I will give them knighthood and all the audience as witness . I fall into my bed worried about if something goes wrong but no matter what I shouldn't try to change the timeline, if I do then I lose the only advantage I have .And prophecy is also a thing in this world so I must stay away from some key events. ahh that's too much thinking.

Truly a castle like this I actually question about technology of this world . 3 days of fast riding on the kingsroad we reached the place where I could jeopardize everything from timeline to the lives of everyone in this continent. But damn this castle we seen miles away .And now looking from here all I can say about this castle is a monstrosity or an abomination. But this is one of best location of this continent , because you can go any direction from here .

There's is no beauty presence here like Highgarden or The Majesty of the Red keep. Though I've been to SummerHall , that place was just ruined but that can't be compare with this . Because it's too big and very unrealistic.

My students are also awa at the giant castle that could devour any other building in this continent.

And we saw thousands of tents has settled on an open area and tons of colors and people's are buying and selling . And this place become as crowded as it could be and And after talking to a knight we learned that we came here little bit late, And missed the opening ceremony of lord Walter Whent .

we made our own tents and we will stay and all, and now we need is fodder for the horses.so started to walk around and bought the things we need .

But today is the grand melee and fighting will be starting at noon so I hurriedly joined the list of participants . This melee is spacial because it's a battle royal and each kingdom will fighting against other kingdom . I signed up myself in as a Riverland side. And I told my boys to have fun and gave them each 2 gold's.

And for me I need to get some site seeing . I looked all around people are in great mood because this is one of the greatest tourney in history and people all over the place has arrived. But they don't know what is going happen a year from now. I feel bad and selfish about myself because I could maybe somehow stop the war .But some parts of me is also wants this war too because this body is kinda forged in battle and war is kind of fuel for this body, and I need this fuel to live .

Then the time came for fighting and I saw lots of other Lords and knights are coming here and reading themselves for the melee . And all of them is kinda taking notes about other kindoms opponents and I approached the knights and lords from Riverland that is going to participate in Melee .And when I got closer one of them with the twin castle sigil asked me .

"And who might you be sir and speak what is that you want ?" he spoke but with a little hostility.

" I'm Ser Alan Winters and I signed for the riverland and you are?" though he took little offense that I don't know him.

But before he could speak , Another armoured man tall as me with also an eagle sigil on his coat spoke for him.

"Walder rivers but everyone likes call him Black Walder . It's nice to meet with you ser Alan I am Jason Mallister Lord of seaguard.

it's almost a year ago I received a reven from a Florent friend of mine and asked that any of our branch family member send to reach or by your name and he also written lots of things about you . But I do not know anything about you so I couldn't give him a proper response. But seeing you, it for confirms everything . Come ser I will introduce to you our other comrades in arms and your strength will aid us greatly ." he ended his speech.

"Thank you my lord it will do well to know eachother because we're fighting together ." I answered him.

Then he introduced me about our other 14 member most notably lord Titos blackwood , ser Rogar of old stone , Ser walman of fairmarket, ser Lukas of Highheart, ser Horas Piper , And others that I could not remember but they are strong in Melee fighting so they decide to join in it.

So hundreds of us just waiting for the signal for the fight but King is still not here so that it could start. and we talked about strategy Lord Titos blackwood will be the leader . There is no Bracken with us so nobody vetoed. And we will be fighting the westerland first then other kindoms. I thought blackfish would be participating too.

Some people are getting restless about waiting .And I could hear that from the other side a man is shouting about he needs to hit something, who's wearing a antler helm with an imposing figure. yes that non other than the Bobby B himself .

Even though lots of people good at fighting but many of them choose to jausting then fighting a Melee . Because jausting is more cooler and the prize money is bigger .But I was snap out of my thoughts because fighting has already begun.

POV Alfy

Our village was the most prosperous village in the stromlands my grandma one's told me. And one's ruled by a prince of realm and she one's worked at the palace as a maid . But all was lost in the great greenflame .And our village left in the mercy of other Lords hands.

Still that's did not bother me because i didn't know much about them anyway . But those knights that comes to collect our tax never bother to protect us from bandit or anything . All they did was collect our tax stay in the night and fucked some unfortunate woman then left where they came from. And we have to provide that to three of those .That moment I started to hate the knights because they make our lives harder.

Even though our lives was going well but the gods wreath came in the name of plagues. And no help ever arrived to help us . I saw my own family dying there horrible deaths. But no help ever arrived. I cried and prayed but Gods never answered .My little sister is the only one left .

Elder Durran and Big sister Ava did what they could to save as much as they could .And few massanger they sent to the Lords, non but only one returned with threat of deaths.

We even asked one of the marcher lords for sending little aid . But instead they send us away from there land .So Elder Durran told us to do the most hated crime in the eyes of Gods and man , banditry. And we did , we had no other options.

But when ser Winters caught us he did not killed us imidiatly but also helped our village. Well maybe the gods listen to our voices and send him to us .If not that then I don't know what because his a miracle itself .

Our lives have changed by him and we all saw the lights of hope . We do not know that how he did it but it was no magic that much I can tell , What he used to cure us was knowledge .He used his own coins to feed us and treated all of us kindly and thought us how to take care of ourselves.He trained us but never got disappointed with those that did not have the will to continue there training. Instead he told them that they can be useful in tons of other way.

And little ones feared that he would abandon us one day so some of them sleep next to his bed because of it and he reassure all of us that he won't abandoning anyone . Then he announced that we are going to the capital and there we will make a new life. Everyone was happy to see the capital . who doesn't?

So we made our preparation to leave this place . And a new training session begun for those of us that can fight . And Gods... seven hell was unleashed upon us in the name of training. We did all that drilled into us without question. But that's not the true hell I'm speaking , because the true hell started at night time . Ser Alan Winters showed us his Cold form when he thought us how to count and how many ways, And he liked call that math . we also learned some of history of all kingdoms . He might not be a Maester but Gods he knows everything about anything. But our favorite time was when he sings and gifts us with story's of this continent and other.

We also made friends with his two squires and learn about them as well and they are also good nature fellow . They shared with us there travel to the Reach and how they fought the Twins knights and the noble woman they flirted with . I know that part was little bragging but we did feel quite jealous of them . And that led the fire in our hearts and we started to train harder and harder , So Ser Alan made the six of us team leader for our dedication.

I know big sister Ava loved the knight, we all know. But seven hell... he can be a dense Man. But we learned that in our travel to Ashford that they are having good time together and we just pretend that we just know nothing.

Our travel to the capital is on of the best moments of my life ,And my horse riding is becoming very noticeable . But our perspective turned south when we reached the capital . Because the godsdamm awful smell ,.. the city is shit...and piss .

And just like that we stayed in city and trained in secret . Our fellow village kids got new works and very happy with it too. Then we learned that Ser Alan will recruit more people for the security . And that news made us very unhappy because that was currently our job guarding the establishments. And thought that we were not enough . But our faces lit-up when he gave us the task to train this new slum boys .

Thus training them we did .....and very painfully . We unleashed our inner beast upon this poor souls. And one boy Robin made quite name for himself with his cleverness and trained personally by ser Alan for months. I must admit that fellow was smart alright .

We learned that we will be going to Riverland and place named harranhall the seat of house Whent . I know ser Alan is a man like to earn coins in many ways but tourney is not one of them . That did not bother me at all and I was thrilled for some good travel.....we all are.

Then we reached harranhall and our eyes started play deception with us. The castle is big ... not just big .... it's the biggest and Ser Alan like to call it "monstrous" or "abomination". And he's right though it is a abomination. And by Seven I do not how to count that many colors of tents , It's like all lords just came here with there belongings.

And Ser Alan told us to have fun , And having fun we did, some people called me lord or ser and master for my well mannerisms and little expensive good looking dress. I did blush from that but I also feel little superior from them . But ser Alan told us never forget the people Ones we were. Then Colt informed me that ser Alan is fighting in the melee , And all of us hurriedly ran there but me and Colt got here little late and missed most of fighting.

He was fighting with the knights and lords from Riverland side against the North,Vale and stromlands because all others has been already defeated. Then all other participants was on the ground injured, disarmed and exhausted. But only two people are still in the arena.

Yas ser Alan is one of them and the other Man was wearing a antler helm with his imposing figure and a Warhammer in hand ,in his coat the furious Black stag told us about who he is. Lord Robert Bratheon lord paramount of stromlands .But he still lived in Vale with his foster father.

I have no love for the man but damn... he might be as strong and tall as Ser Alan maybe a inch or two tallar . When Ser Alan defeated the Lord Yohn Royce and Lord Bratheon also defeated Lord Mallister , The whole stage become silent and cold .

Two opponent then faced with eachother and shared some conversation . But everyone was shoked when Ser Winters dropped his tourney sword and took a fist fighting stance , Lord Bratheon was equally shoked but when he came back to reality he boomed in huge laughter and throw away his warhammer ...

And what came next was a thing of legend .. Two opponent become a volent mob , The fist fighting become a violent brawling match . It was pure chaos and fists flying armour cracking helmet smashing .

But we watched it until the end first silently then everyone started to shouting about first there name but it was too long so everyone ended with...

Eagle, Eagle, Eagle.....

Stag, Stag , Stag ...

But in the end Ser Alan won the mach with great difficulty and loud cheers from the crowd. We clapped too because we're happy that our boss won it.

Then we saw Ser Alan helped Lord Bratheon on his fit and had another conversation But from looks of it lord Bratheon doesn't seem to be holding grudges but left with happy cheers.

Then ser Alan declared that tonight we are invited to the feast in Lord Walter Whents castle.

Oh I'm starving for some good food ,we all are.
