Bathed In Gold

Chapter XVI

I must have been rested for a good few days, but I grew restless I needed to stretch my legs. I needed to help Sansa and I still needed to find Arya. I knew Ned would be rolling in his grave if i didn't. One day I gathered my weapons, bid goodbye to my camp and snuck out, I was well enough to take care of myself. I began to hum to myself the lullaby my father used to sing to me. This time I wouldn't back down so easily, I am one Dothraki you don't want to mess with!

I tried to stay in my human form if I could, because I wouldn't use so much energy. Just as I was crossing an abandoned village I heard screams, so I stopped stock still, I focused my hearing and followed it, it led me to a burn out town as I got closer I realised that they were torturing men, I kept to the walls but I was spotted and I was knocked out. I wake up a few hours later and I'm chained down to a wall.

"Do you know who I am?" A tall figure asked looming over me. I didn't answer. "Do you speak our language?" He inquired. He sighed and knelt in front of me gripping my chin forcing me to look at him. "If you don't start talking I'll chop you up and send you back to your Khal in pieces." He threatened. I pulled my head away but he slapped me and bust my lip. I looked behind him and saw Arya I knew I had to play house to protect her. "Now answer me who are you?" He continued.

"I am Brienne Epona. Dothraki goddess." I answered.

"You don't look like a goddess!" He exclaimed.

"We all turn out to not look like what others expect." I snarled.

"Well Brienne I am Tywin Lannister, welcome to my home. You and the other girl will be my servants." He told me.

"I serve no one but Khal Drogo." I replied which resulted in him punching me in the face.

"Well you do now." He growled. He turned to a guard. "Get her presentable and wipe that war paint off." He instructed. My chains were unlocked but I fought against them but with a sword hilt thrust into my stomach i soon stopped.  Arya and I were left in a room all alone till we were needed.

"What are you doing here Brienne?" She asked.

"Here to save you and get you home." I told her.

"Are the rumours true?" She asked.

"Rumours?" I inquired turning my head to the side.

"You're Khal Drogos daughter?" She replied.

"Yes." I nodded causing a long strand of black hair to fall into my eye.

"Won't he miss you?" She asked.

"Before he notices I'm missing, maybe, I don't know." I replied shrugging. "But Arya Stark we shan't be here for long, I mean to brake out as soon as I can." I smiled at her.
