( POV Jon Snow )

I was getting my shoulder wound stitched up, I wouldn't be able to fight in the pit until it was properly healed.

After getting my shoulder stitched up I was sent off to my cell, now that I had proven that I have fought my first match and my training is complete I have been moved to a large cell filled with around twenty people inside sitting on their beds. I found an empty bed and lay down on it Ghost sitting at the end of the bed. When I looked up I saw two people approaching a Dornish man and a Dothraki.

The Dornish man was medium height maybe 5,7 but the Dothraki was a 6,6 beast of a man with a braid in his hair down past his shoulder blades.

"So your the child that killed three men on his first fight in the pit." The Dornish man said, the Dothraki said something that you couldn't understand but it made the Dornish man laugh.

"No Raggo your right he doesn't look like much." The Dornish man said

"The three men earlier didn't think I looked like much either and their blood soaks the sand of the fighting pit" I spat back at the pair of them

"Oh look at that Raggo the wolf pup thinks it's scary." The dornish man said while the Dothraki Raggo chuckled.

Sensing my frustration Ghost rose from the bottom of my bed to his full height and snarled his silent snarl forcing the two to take a step back.

"Hahahahaha" the Dothraki Raggo began laughing quickly followed by the Dornish man.

"I like you, so what's your name I'm Perros Sand  Bastard son of Prince Oberyn Martel, The Red Viper himself." said the Dornish man. 

"Jon snow Bastard son of Lord Edward Stark of Winterfell, pleasure to meet you."

"Ah it seems we have more in common than I first believed." Perros said "I'm not actually a slave I just like to fight in the pits like my father once did before me and when I defeat the grand champion of the fighting pits then I'm going to return to Dorne."

"Ah i haven't introduced Raggo here have I he only speaks Dothraki, when your able to train again come to me and Raggo we'll be happy to see if your actually any good or if you just got lucky." Then he turned to leave the beast that was Raggo following behind him.

I was still tired from my fight so as I went to sleep need img the rest after the exhausting fight and that encounter with Perros and Raggo.

( Three Days Later)

It was weird how fast my wound healed I shouldn't have been able too fight for another two weeks but I was up and ready to go so I met up with Perros and Raggo to train.

"Ah Raggo it seems the wolf pup was to eager to train with us." Perros said to Raggo

"You mean I couldn't wait to kick an arrogant vipers arse" I said back to them making the pair chuckle.

Perros then picked up his training spear "come then show me you skills." He said with a arrogant look that I had a burning desire to wipe of his face.

And so with a determined look on my face I charged towards him.

Only to be nocked on my arse again and again and again.

"Agh I'm never going to beat you" I said in anger

"What did you think the only son of the famous Red viper would be an easy target." He said with the same arrogant look.

"Ahahahaha" Raggo was still laughing in the background

"Ok that's enough messing around let me actually teach you." Perros finally said.

After hours of being thought haw to wield the spear  Raggo began teaching me how to youse my scimitar better, as apparently wielding  scimitar is the same as wielding an arakh.

After hours and hours of training I collapsed in my bed exhausted and fell asleep instantly.

( Months Later )

( POV Jon Snow )

I had made a name for myself in the fighting pits  alongside famous names such as Perros the Vipers Bastard, Raggo the Beast.

Last week Perros fought against the champion and won and so he has left the pits to return to his father with a legend of his own but with the absence of a grand champion me and Raggo where going to have to face each other to see who will become champion  of the arena.

And I am quite confidant I can beat him but I will be sad to have to kill him we got on quite well after Perros taught  me  Dothraki we, I was never as close to him as I was to Perros but it will still be a sad experience.

And as I close my eyes I drift of to sleep knowing that tomorrow I will kill my only friend left in this place or he will kill me.
