Let The Games Begin (Game of Thrones)

Starhill

Eleana pov

I was in the carriage watching the forest and my fathers men on horses "do you think Kings landing looks the same, I haven't been there for 6 years" I looked over to my handmaiden?

"I'm not sure my lady" she said smiling at me. The carriage stopped and I heard my father say something, I was about to step out of the carriage until I heard I loud bang on the roof, then I saw my fathers men fighting thieves. I was about to leave the carriage and help me father but my handmaiden stopped me, "no my lady you shouldn't fight" she said holding my hand, I was about to say something until a man snuck into the carriage and killed her, he looked over to me and struck me and was on top of me. I quickly grabbed my dagger under my dress and stabbed him behind the neck, I got up and took his sword and went out to fight with my men. I was killing the thieves as fast as a can until one managed to drop my sword and then a felt something sharp behind me and then......

I opened my eyes, calm and relaxed, its been at least a year since it all happened, or should I say 11 years. Everything has changed since I came back from the dead, I got up and started to get dressed until I heard the door open.

"My dear Eleana" my mother walked in, she looked the same 10 years ago, "Mother" I replied and sat down so she could do my hair like old times.

"Are you going out riding again, like you always do?" my mother looked in the mirror, "yes I need to clear my head I sometimes dream of what happened the day I... well you know " I looked down not wanting to talk about it.

"All done my sweet you be safe alright" I smiled at her and left. I made my way to the stables and asked for my horse, Bay died a few years ago so I had to get a new horse Ace. He had white lovely fur and was gentle and kind. I mounted on top of him and rode out of Starhill. I rode fast wanting to clear my head, even though it has been I year I still feel alone, I stopped for a moment to give Ace I rest. I breathed in the clear sweet air thinking about life and death, I saw I flower which looked like it had died, I bent down and touched the flower and it started to bloom again along with the rest of the surrounding flowers. I was powerful when I woke up, I had to be careful with the magic I hold as it could hurt the people I love.

Stefon Pov

I was sitting on my arm chair reading the news of Eddard Starks son. "My love, what troubles you?" my wife soon enters our chambers and sat on my lap, I gave her the her the letter and she soon read it, "may the gods have mercy" she said but then looked at the stamp. "This is meant for Eleana, they ask if she would return to Winterfell to save their son" my wife stood up and looked out the window. "And she will, and after she will return to Kingslanding" I said and we both looked at each other.

"Has she been summoned by the king?" my wife said, "yes after all this time" I replied and stood next to my wife.

"Are you afraid that we will lose her again?" I asked my wife.

"No, I'm not afraid she is stronger than all of us, I'm worried that she won't be able to handle this much pain, Westeros has changed when she was gone who knows how much" she replied

"I fear for our daughter as much as you do, but she will make it I know she will, she gets that from you" we both smiled until someone came in.

"My lord, you wanted to see me" I turned around and saw Lola, my daughters handmaiden.

"Yes I walked to my table and took both letters, sealed it and gave them to her, "would we please give them to my daughter" I asked

"Of course, my lord, my lady" she bowed and left.

Eleana pov

I was out of the balcony looking at my beautiful home that I missed, "my lady" I turned around and saw Lola, "these are for you" she gave me two letters and left. I sat down and took one which was from Kingslanding, "the King has summoned me to court" I whispered to myself. I then took out the next one looking at the seal it was from the Starks, I smiled and opened it hoping to find good news.

To my dearest Eleana,

I have heard of your arrival in Starhill and wish you good health, but I must ask you something I thought I would never ask.

My son Brandon is badly injured and paralysed from the waist down, he is in critical condition and I am frighted that he would not survive.

I ask this as a mother, please come to Winterfell and heal him the best you can, I know I am asking to much of you but I cannot lose my son.

Please Eleana I beg of you

From Catelyn Stark.

My heart shattered into a million pieces, knowing a child is suffering, it makes me wonder how I suffered. I stood up and poured myself a cup of wine and drank it while walking to the window. I looked up to the sky and thought about Catelyn and her son, I feel her pain knowing that I suffered this while my mother and father endured, I then realised my cup was broken and my hand bleeding.I will make sure that the Starks will not suffer the way my family has I promise.
