[Lancel POV]

Lord Eddard, Howland Reed, Martyn Cassel and Theo Wull attack Ser Arthur Dayne, while Ethan Glover and Ser Mark Ryswell attack Ser Oswell Whent, and finally there is Lord Dustin against Ser Gerold Hightower.

During the attack on Ser Arthur, Howland Reed swung the sword at Ser Arthur's neck, Ser Arthur in turn blocked and swung the sword at Howland's shoulder wounding him in the first attack; He then began to block every slash and thrust Lord Eddard and his companions sent his way.

Meanwhile, Ser Oswell kept the two opponents he was fighting at bay, since he has incredible strength in each cut he throws at his opponents and makes them back.

Ser Gerold was not doing as well as in his best times, since he had a problem in his hand after receiving an arrow when he was fighting against the brotherhood of the royal forest

Lord Eddard swung the sword up and down on Ser Arthur's helm who both deflected the blow and moved to the right blocking a slash from Martyn Cassel.

Lord Eddard went to where Ser Gerold was, giving him a thrust in the neck after deflecting the cut that this sent him.

Ser Oswell fatally wounded Ethan Glover with a gash to the waist, Lord Eddard seeing this runs towards Ser Oswell, while Lord Dustin does the same against Ser Arthur

Being Ser Arthur still at a disadvantage moves like the wind between each cut, slash and thrust, being so that on one occasion he manages to kill Theo Wull by dodging and slashing his neck; He is immediately followed by Martyn Cassel, who dies trying to stab Ser Arthur, and Ser Arthur blocks. And in the same sequence he turns the sword and cuts Martyn Cassel's throat.

By joining the fight Lord Eddard and Ser Mark Ryswell manage to hurt Ser Oswell's hand when he sent a cut to Ser Mark who used both hands on the sword to block Ser Oswell's sword against the ground, Lord Eddard took the opportunity to hurt his hand with a cut (the protection of this could not against the Valyrian steel) since it almost amputated his hand, then Lord Eddard puts the sword through his throat

Then Lord Eddard and Ser Mark Ryswell march to support Lord Dustin, forming the last fight of three against one.

Ser Arthur Dayne seeing that he will fight against three great fighters, stands in mid guard, with the tip of his sword pointing to the ground

Ser Mark Ryswell leads the attack with a top down slash, Ser Arthur blocks and slashes his neck killing him instantly, and ducks his head dodging Eddard's slash; He also kneels on the ground and deflects the cut Lord Dustin gave him upwards

After deflecting the slash, he stands up and returns the same pose, Lord Eddard and Lord Dustin appear concerned by Ser Arthur Dayne's incredible swordsmanship

Lord Eddard seeing this commands the attack this time, with a quick cut that is blocked, and launches a quick thrust to keep Ser Arthur away since his sword is longer

Seeing this, Lord Dustin gains confidence and launches the attack on the right side of Ser Arthur with a slash from right to left (in parallel) so as not to give him the opportunity to block and attack right away because Eddard can block his slashes from the left side of Lord Dustin sending slashes and slashes fast

As the fight continues, Ser Arthur takes three quick steps back and takes a short guard, deflecting Lord Eddard's slash and dodging Lord Dustin's slash to his left, blocking Lord Dustin's slash. And relying on his strength to move forward his left side and slash Lord Dustin's waist, mortally wounding him

The fight is now a single combat between Lord Eddard and Ser Arthur, Lord Eddard attacking with a slash while staying as far away from Ser Arthur's short guard as possible

Still, as Lord Eddard sent a diagonal slash towards Ser Arthur's head, Ser Arthur stepped forward as he parried the slash with Albor's handle, seized Lord Eddard's sword at mid-length and gave it a slash kick to the side, disarming Eddard, who fell to the ground, while Ser Arthur prepared to deliver the final blow, Howland Reed attacked him from behind inserting a blade into Ser Arthur's waist, he fell to the ground on his knees and his sword with him

Lord Eddard gets up quickly and takes Ser Arthur's sword and cuts Ser Arthur's neck, Ser Arthur falls completely to the ground when a scream is heard at the top of the Tower of Joy

Lord Eddard, upon hearing the cry, immediately goes up the Tower, while I approach Ser Arthur's body and start a conversation with the system

'Can you stop the bleeding?' Lancel asks the system with a serious look.

<Yes, but it requires the Host to complete a mandatory and dangerous mission at age fourteen> The system answer

'Do it, I will complete the mission, no matter what it is' Lancel asks him, to heal Ser Arthur before draws his last breath of life

<The host has to touch the knight's neck> The system informs you of the procedure

The moment after placing my hand on Ser Arthur's neck, his wound closes but he remains unconscious from the blood he lost, then I feel weak, with little resistance

'Shit... this system scammed me' Lancel thinks with mental tears

"Howland, come and help me mount Ser Arthur's body to the horse." Lancel asks Eddard's friend for help.

"Good" Howland replied, since he can see him in his visions fighting the Others

The Princess comes out with her cloak on, hiding her face, taking Lord Dustin's horse and riding Rhaenys on it. While I wait for Eddard Stark to come down from the tower to take the sword and take it to Starfall.
