Back To You // Jorah Mormont (2)

15. Soves

"I cannot go out like this being punished. Exiled Once again you understand, don't you?"

"I do." Oceana confirmed. "Are you going to get yourself killed? " she pondered wondering what he was planning on doing.

"I'm a good fighter I can handle this."

"And if there are better fighters?" She challenged

"I have you That I'm fighting for and my freedom not a banishment." Jorah remarked. "I cant be banished from every place i have ever stepped. That is no legacy to live."

"I agree. I wanted to go back. To challenge my claim but i got swept away with the ocean. Decided it was for the best." Oceana whispered wondering what her life would have been like with drogo. He kissed her cheek suggesting she go back to danaerys.

"I will return to you." Jorah promised. San leaned into her kissing her cheek as well before waving to jorah.

'You said that whoever wins will fight at the great pits in front of the queen I won,' Jorah told the masster

'You struck me!' another soldier shouted in outrage.

'I've been flogged if it makes you happy,' Jorah told him 'I'm the best you've got. If I win the great pit how much can you sell me for?'

'You are a free man you could've gone anywhere why did you come back?' Jorah stepped forward.

'Let me fight for her and I belong to you.' Jorah told him.

Oceana didnt like this one bit. She knew what he was doing. Where he was going. She went to get some food and water before heading to the great pits herself. She hoped she could convince jorah to leave with her once he gained his true freedom

"They're waiting for you." Hizdahr told Danaerys she stared back at him with confusion. "Clap your hands." He instructed. She slowly raised her hands clapped once, making the arena erupted in cheers and applause as the fighting started.

"That one, the smaller man, no question, that's where you should put your money." Daario said with a smile.

"Are you really betting on men's lives?" Danny asked in disbelief,. Tyrion only glanced over at him, debating.

"The smaller man it is." Daario told him.

"I'm not putting my money anywhere." Danaerys grumbled.

"Kings and Queens never bet on the games. Perhaps you should go find someone who does." Hizdahr said snidely to Daario.

'Where did Jorah go?" San questioned.

"He will be back in a bit baby boy." Oceana glanced at the arena. She hated fights. That was something she didnt miss from the khalassar. They were always fighting for one reason or another. It was usually stupid reasons.

"People used to bet against me when I fought in the pits." Daario said. "He would have bet against me. Common novice mistake."

"I have spent much of my life in Meereen, and in my experience, larger men do triumph over smaller man, far more often than not." Hizdahr said.

"You enjoying yourself my lady?" A man asked looking over oceana with prying eyes.

"There's always been more than enough death in the world for my taste. I can do without it in my leisure time." Oceana told him "I've seen more than enough needless death to last me a lifetime." She added.

"Fair enough, yet, it's an unpleasant question, but what great thing has ever been accomplished without killing or cruelty?" He pondered to oceana. She looked him in the eyes. He wore fine clothes and had many layers of rings and necklaces to show his wealth.

"It's easy to confuse 'what is' with' what ought to be'. Especially when 'what is' has worked in your favor." Oceana deemed. He scowled down at her. "Excuse you. Im waiting for my... husband."

Jorah's cheek was sliced and his leg bleeding, his face cringed with pain and the fighting pits soldiers dueled while all around them the crowd cheered. But again Jorah fell his arm bleeding now as well a blade pointed to his chest he looked over at oceana. She couldnt breathe as she pulled away from the man and towards the fighting. Tyrion noticed her as well

'You can end this.' Tyrion told them

'She can't,' Hizdahr told them. Tyrion waved oceana over as the blade was coming down another soldier came stabbing them in the back. Jorah picked up his sword as he prepared to fight the final man in the pit.

'Stop this." Oceana commanded moving to the viewing box. Daario moved to her at the ready.

"She is lady oceana clegane. Help her up. She is no threat. She is an ally." Tyrion assured. She climbed up marching to danaerys. Danaerys cowered back slightly at the rage in oceanas eyes.

"I just got jorah back i wont lose him because he wants to prove he is a good man and not worthy of being exiled again!" Oceana shouted.  Jorah ran up stabbing the man through the chest. Jorah stood the Victor before them the crowd booed. He stared at them moments longer his eyes narrowing in on something behind them he took a spear throwing it in between them stabbing a son of the Harpy. Daario pulled danaerys side as oceana spun around looking to the man dead pierced through the chest.

"Pardon him you two cent wh-"

"Oceana." Tyrion warned but soon the stadium was filled with sons of the harpy their masked faces standing up in the crowd

'Protect your queen!' Dario instructed as screams rang out madness insured as everyone was a victim stabbed in slice running for their lives. Oceana was circled by guards as Dario sliced down harpy getting too close. San screamed both in fear and a little battle cry. He had warrior in his blood from both his clegane blood and drogos dothraki roots.

"No!" Oceana begged as san tried to grab a blade.

'Your Grace come with me I know where-' HIzdahr began but he was torn down to stabbed in the chest he dropped. Oceana was reasy to run when she saw the blade wrap around her too late, it closed in on her neck but then she felt his body fall against hers she stepped forward to the man drop dead she looked up to see Jorah pulling his blade free.

'Are you OK?' He asked her and she nodded and he hugged her tight. "Im sorry i left you."

"You are here." Oceana breathed back. "Lets go."

'Come on,' Jorah agreed jumping down to the fighting pits. Jorah caught her and san before tyrion and danaerys were lowered down

"I need a weapon." Oceana grumbled

"Me too!" San agreed. They ran but the gates were sealed before they got out they were stuck in the fighting pits

'Protect your queen.' Dario demanded they ran through the middle trying to escape neely held a blade in both hands as the sons of harpy surrounded them. The unsullied soldiers spears pointed as they were surrounded. Nowhere to go nowhere to run.

"I dont wanna die!" San demanded. "I wanna spear!" He stabbed his arm out.

Oceana spun in circles as men approached being sliced down by unsullied Jorah and Dario every time they got to close. Danaerys closed her eyes and prepared for death when Drogon screams could be heard from above everyone falter looking to the sky as fire blazed around them

'Dragon." San whispered as oceana picked him up holding him close to her chest as they watched him circle around the Colosseum the sons of the harpy ran off as Drogon landed in the middle a harpy came running at them but Drogo picked him up in his mouth tearing him apart as he whipped him through His teeth before sending fire blazing the sons of harpy burned before them. A spear launched at Drogon and he hissed more fire blazing through his lips another spear and another they were all attacking Drogon. Oceana flinched back.  Drogon shrieked out in pain.

'Danaerys moved forward pulling thenspear free of drogon before she stepped forward climbing onto Drogon.

"Soves."

"Yeah thanks for the help." Oceana grumbled. "Can we go now?"

'Tyrion looked at Jorah's arm it was covered but he knew that grayscale lie underneath.
