Performance to be Remembered
273 AC
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The brave 300 and I have been training hard, none of the Knight can beat us in single combat and group combat. We train with our spear, sword and shield, they received all the instruction from the family magic concerning the phalanx formation and how to a proper Spartan. From the group of boys, the strongest is Artacus, I made him leader the commander of the Spartan.
Because of the family magic, we have grown quicker and stronger. The shadow guard that when with mother has told me that they will return soon, as to explain the shadow guard. They are the elite of my spartan and I have given the Darth raven armour which is enchanted by the notice-me-not charm and a few Portkey, they are my elite force that no one knows existed as their main job is assassination, information gathering and protecting in the shadow. No, they don't have a lightsaber, but they are stronger than 5 Gregor Clegane.
In the Sunspear -
Today Mother back from the trip with my brother and sister, she sends a raven and Dorin told me that she will be today.
"My prince they have arrived", one of the guards informs him
"Come little brother, let welcome them home", he told me and we made our way.
At the gate -
We are standing and waiting under the hot sun, I can they are approached us and mother run up to me and hug me.
"ahhh my sweetling looks how much have you grown~", she said and hugs me tightly.
"Mother, who is that you hugging", Ellia asked and look at the 5-feet tall boy with dark hair and green eyes which remind her of Leo.
"Is Leo Darling, look how much you have grown and Handsome too", Mother explained which shocked Ellia and said, "arghh...the ladies must love you, little brother." she approached and inspect him from top to bottom.
"All right, why don't we continue this inside", Doran said and hug Mother. He looks around to find someone missing and said "Where Oberyn," he asked one of the Guard.
Before the guard could answer, my sister Elia said." He probably in the brothel, you might found him there".
Hearing this Doran only sigh and continue inside as a banquet will be prepared to welcome them home, when the banquet start it was already dark. All the lord and Ladies of Dorne are attending the party to welcome Mother back, in this parties I made a few future preparations. I lace the food and drink with a loyalty potion and added to the family magic, it won't take effect instantly but they will be loyal to me and my family sooner or later.
The party went smoothly amazing as the food and alcohol taste sweeter than before, however, Mother doesn't seem to look too happy concerning something that she doesn't want to tell me.
"Mother, is there something the matter?", Leo asked her while sitting next to her.
"Is nothing sweetling, Mother just tired from her journey", she pinched my cheek and smiled."And where is your brother Oberyn?", she asked one the guard and doesn't like what she heard, then move her attention to me her favourite son.
"So apparently your Spartan can beat the strongest knight of Dorne and they are still young but become stronger after following you're instruction", she said to him with a playful smile.
"Well since mother won't let me come with her so I decided to play with 300 friends, we been through hell but they dine with there. I'm proud of them, the armour and weapon they wield are specially made for them", Leo explain.
"And where the money came from? Doran only provide them with food and shelter?", she asked.
"Well...one of the training method that I used on myself and the brave 300...we kinda.....when and eliminate a bandit camp in the desert below the green blood river there we found around 10,000 Golden coins.", Leo said which shocked her then she realised.
"YOU DID WHAT", she shouted and the music stops as she absorbs all the attention in the room. She looked toward her eldest son as asked him if it true that Leo when and elimnitate the bandit and found the gold coins.
"I'm sorry mother, I only heard of this now", He said to her. " Leo is this true, how come you fail to tell me?", he asked Leo.
"Well...if I told you that I and my brave 300 going to eliminate and KILL a group of bandits, you will say no. Thus why my dear brother, I didn't tell you plus none of the 300 dies or get injured as we slaughter them easily, oh another reason you will take all the Gold if I tell you", Leo said and continue eating again.
"hahaha, did you hear that? Prince Leonidas has eliminated a group of the bandit", the lord said and a murmur started to fill the hall. A few minutes later people starting to congratulate me and my family, which made my mother even angry as the people laugh.
"Mother, I'm sorry. listen while you are away someone thought me a song that I wanted you to hear, would you listen to my song mother?" Leo asked and his mother only can sigh,
"Fine, but you are still needed to be punished. You too Dorin," she said and glared at him.
"Arghh Yes mother....."Doran replied.
"So what song the young Prince will sing?" some asked
"Please can someone get my guitar from my room, it should be the only musical instrument in there", Leo said
When he received his guitar, people in the room was confused about seeing this guitar. Mother the announce to the hall that his son will play a song for her and she would like everyone to listen, now standing in the middle of the room holding his guitar.
He bows and said, "I learn this song from a barb by the name, Ed Sheeran, I hope you enjoy"
~When your legs don't work like they used to before
And I can't sweep you off of your feet
Will your mouth still remember the taste of my love
Will your eyes still smile from your cheeks
And darling I will be loving you 'til we're 70
And baby my heart could still fall as hard at 23
And I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways~
The Ladies in the room was dumbstruck that Prince Leonidas can sing, using the strange musical instrument that goes perfectly well with the song, now all the focus are on Leo and following the beat of the song.
Mother has a bright smile on her face, swaying her body from side to side but wanted to sing along too, Doran closed his eyes and reminiscing the memory of him and his estranged wife.
~Maybe just the touch of a hand
Oh me I fall in love with you every single day
And I just wanna tell you I am
So honey now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Place your head on my beating heart
I'm thinking out loud~
By this time as I looked around the room, most of the married couple seem to be in each other arms and the single lads looking toward the singles ladies as they look toward me like a piece of delicious meat.
~Maybe we found love right where we are
When my hair's all but gone and my memory fades
And the crowds don't remember my name
When my hands don't play the strings the same way, mm
I know you will still love me the same
Cause honey your soul can never grow old, it's evergreen
Baby your smile's forever in my mind and memory
I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe it's all part of a plan
I'll just keep on making the same mistakes
Hoping that you'll understand~
By this time everyone in the room remembers some of the lyric and join, even mother was singing. Swaying thiere body from side to side, raising their glass.
~But baby now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Place your head on my beating heart
I'm thinking out loud
That maybe we found love right where we are, oh
So baby now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Oh darling, place your head on my beating heart
I'm thinking out loud
That maybe we found love right where we are
Oh baby, we found love right where we are (maybe)
And we found love right where we are~
Then cheers and claps, my sister Ellia came and hugs me. Mother was proud and happy and the gloom on her face has been replaced by a happy one.
I thank everyone for listening and leave and with the reason to rest, as you might have a guess Dorne people are very horny and free. You know what will happen that night, It shall be called the Night of Lust.
The next morning was a little different, not just because my mother now is home but because of my performance last night.
"Good morning sweetling, how you sleep", Emaya his mother greeted him in the garden.
"Good morning mother, Ellia. I sleep well thank you", Leo said and hug them.
"Leo as a promise, Mother have a gift for you. But I want you to promise me to look after it, and I hope you can tame it." Mother warned him as a white lion cub has been handed to Leo.
"Since you are our little lion, your sister and brother brought this from a merchant from Qarth. I think his name was Xaro Xhoan Daxos and he got this little lion from the Dothraki sea, I think they call it Hrakkar. I hope you can tame it, Leo, if not it will be a nice rug in the Water Garden."
"That when dark quick, trust me mother this little lion will be bigger than the lizard lion in the Neck, Westeros. From now on my little lion, you will be one of the protectors of my kingdom, I shall name you....", Leo laugh and lifted the lion cub to the air.

AN: I was listening to Ed Sheeran while writing this, I thought it would fit for Westeros. Plus most of Rhyonar peoples is actually good at music, the capital city of Rhyonar does mention music.
