Let Them Burn~ A Song of Ice and Fire Fanfic

Chapter 1 - Sand Princess

I look at the dancing waves of the Blackwater Bay, at the city overlooking the water. My men hustle around me as we prepare to dock. The last time I glanced at these waters I was 15, it was  only 4 years ago.  My Father was more than happy too have me back in Dorne after my years apart from him. He despised my uncle for sending me away. But here I was now a grown adult joining Joffrey Baratheon's Court. 

"My Lady, we're here," I look at my advisor Darian. I met Darian while visiting Highgarden as a child he was a couple years older than I and was gifted to my cousin as a squire, once we returned too Dorne my uncle knighted him and gave him too me to protect me on my travels. He was the only consistent thing I had in my life, and he was payed to do so. Darian was dark complected with soft green eyes and golden hair. Darian Offered his hand too help me step off the ship, my legs wobbled as I  tried to regain my balance. I nodded my head in thanks and walked up the hill. 

I reach the top of the merchant dock buy then we were stopped by the Lannister Bannermen. In front of them was a straggly looking man. Not much taller than I, several years older. He leaned on his right leg and hand his arms crossed. Darian stepped ahead of me. 

"I'm guessing your the Dornish Princess," the man said looking past the tall knight Infront of me. I laid my hand of Darian and he stepped too my side. 

"Princess Rhealia Sand, this is my personal guard Sir Darian of Sunspear. I suppose you're here to escort us? But sir Trust me I know my way around this City. So if you would please..."

"I've been ordered by Tywin Lannister himself to make sure too escort you too the Red Keep."

i bluntly looks at him, the man had a lot of sass to his movement, he slurred his words and talked like a Northerner. he wasn't dressed in armor but rather leather. 

"Who are you? You certainty aren't a Lannister, and not a knight. Who would Tywin Lannister beseech such order too. "

"Mlady, My name is Sir Bronn Of Blackwater." 

"So you are a knight? How did a Northerner get such a title in  a time like this?"

"Not a Northerner Milady, just a sell sword that was in the right place at the right time, and we have a place too be at a certain time. And we're messing with Tywin Lannister himself and i want to live too see another day princess so lets get those pretty little feet moving."

I looked at Darian as he begins to walk forward, I start after when my movement is interrupted. 

"No Princess, you ride in this. By Orders of Tywin Lannister." He opens the carriage door, I look at it knowing horseback would be the more preferred way I would like to travel. Horseback was more preferred in Dorne. I enter the gold incrusted carriage with the help of Bronn.  He shuts the door, and I am alone.

-----------------
I didn't mind being alone, but i preferred company. Being around people helped me know i was safe, and kept me at peace. Being alone filled my head with worrying thoughts, a fear of being away from home. I worried about my surroundings, it wasn't always like this. 

When I first traveled to King's Landing I had joined Robert Baratheon's Court, and studied with scholars provided by Jon Arynn. He even tutored me himself, I learned of the History of Kings Landing, I met Lords and Ladies from all over the world. Jon had let me sit in on small council meetings. When he died i was rushed out of Kings Landing, Jon had ordered it when I first arrived. He knew what tutoring me meant, and upon my arrival he ordered if he should die in my time at the city I would be sent back to Dorne. My father was glad too see me back home, but I wasn't a child anymore. Kings Landing change me deeply, It raised my senses, I was more aware of the troubles happening around me. I was anxious all the time, never feeling relaxed.
