A YEAR AGO

The red tents stood in the silence of the night, glowing torches beamed through the entire field of them, men drank and laughed, some paced back and forth or stood still watching through the woods in their red lion armory -- doing their duty as watchers. I knew these were men serving King's Landing, I knew what they were capable of, I knew how wealthy they were, but all I saw was gold, food and some ale I craved. I did not care what these men were capable of, I was starved. There were thousands and then there was me with nothing but a bow I've made from a large gazelle's antler and arrows with ends of honed stone, branches, claws or tooth's, I had a rusted dagger I bought with gold as a child. I was invisible for now, hidden behind a thick twisted ash tree, it's trunks thick with branches that hovered lowly enough to hide my own face but my eyes. I waited long enough, the longer I waited the more I honed my arrows and once I heard nothing but humming and singing night creatures I was more aware that no armored men were awake, except 4 but separated from the other, watching over the rest that slept like newborn babes. I took a hand full of mud that was beneath my feet and smeared it across my entire face, someone had taught me to be as the night, unseen, quick and quiet as a prey. I approached, crawling so low I could smell the scent of wet grass beneath my own nostrils and a stomach that felt the brush of its wetness against my skin over my clothing. I was quiet enough to make it onto the other side of the tents where I could now only hear snoring men, and one man that sang in the distance, the words and melody had an eerie tone to it, a song that almost had me lost in a trance as I listened to those words.

...a coat of gold, a coat of red a lion still has claws, and mine are long and sharp my lord, as long and sharp as yours, and so he spoke, and so he spoke, that lord of Castamere, and now the rains weep o'er his halls with no one there to hear, oh, now the rains weep o'er his halls ... and not a soul to hear.

I gathered myself, recollectioning my own thoughts onto the present and my own surroundings and I peeked my head where I could see the armored man guarding, the only part of him that was not secured was his neck, and so I was aiming for that. I lifted my antler bow placing the arrow against the string and pulled back until my wrist touched my ear and the sound of it stretching the more I pulled, I felt the wind strike my hair once my fingers released the arrow, immediately bringing the armored man to gag silently and fall dead. I waited to hear any sort of reaction, but no one said a word giving me the sign that no one hears nor knew the drop of this man. I rushed to the other side slowly pulling the curtain of the tent aside, where two men were snoring louder than expected. The first thing I saw was a flagon, a large cheese wheel, fruits sitting in a bowl and a large loaf of bread, I did not want to kill more men, I trusted they were in a deep sleep by how loud they'd been snoring, I took out my large purse and shoved the bread inside it, I took the wheel of cheese and sliced half of it with a silver knife -- but my mind instantly changed and shoved the other piece inside, I reached for the flagon and began to drink right off it, it was bitter and sweet, it was not ale. I managed to contain my cough and placed the flagon back, deciding whatever that was is not worth me to take, once I turned a tall man stood behind me in his shining armour, looking down at me with a sinister smile and lustful brown eyes, I knew that familiar look far too many times, I quickly reached for my dagger in plans to stab his cock but his reflexes were far too fast for me, he slapped the dagger right off my hands "You boys ought and wake up for this" he said, kicking their mattresses and catching their snores to instantly stop "We've got a thief here, trying to steal our damn food and wine" he continued, I looked both ways to see the men asleep were no longer asleep but confused, but a smile crept across one of their faces like I was their dinner "I bet her cunt is more tight than a goat's ass" the other mentioned while the taller one approached me slowly starting to remove his red and gold gauntlets, taces and tasset and through his fald I could see his enlarged bulge, his large hand pushed me against the floor "Let's see if I'm right" he said
