Steffana

They were deep in the woods, when  Steffana saw the ultra violet path nearing to an end. It didn't escape her attention that Ellaria had been painfully silent. So she asked, 

" Is everything okay Ellaria?"

"No it is not! I just witnessed the heinous murder of my husband at the hands of these traitors! And now you suggest an alliance between the Lannisters and the Martels!"

Steffana explained, "No, no that is not what I am suggesting, But I can see how you could be confused."

Leading the way she coaxed them along her path, which certainly had a surreal feel to it, certainly to them. Her pathmaker, forced a clear path through the Kingswood, where she had hidden her aviaut.

"She is a witch Oberyn! Look at how the trees move for her! She should not be trusted!"

She knew that these accusations would be forthcoming, from all of them. Powerful women..thousands of years later and not much had changed Of course she was a witch, still. But no, she couldn't let that rumor take hold as she was well aware of how damaging it was, even in her time.

"I am not a witch, Ellaria. I am from the future. It's different. You're just going to have to trust me."

"Why should we trust her Oberyn? She is with them! She came to save the imp!"

Tyrion interjected,

"Well she did save his life-"

"I do not trust the visions of a witch,  imp!"

"Ellaria-he is an imp no longer...and I agree she seems like a witch. But it doesn't mean that we can't trust her. I like her. And I trust her. She will get me my justice, I believe."

"Oberyn, We must leave this place, now! No good will come of any of this."

Steffana knew it wouldn't be easy, convincing them to fight for her...she'd have to give it time. So she said, to Ellaria, 

"Look, if you want to back to Dorne. I will take you there I promise, but  in order to do that, we've got to get to my aviaut, and in order to do that, we've got to follow the path through these woods."

"I've heard these woods are cursed! What blood magic are you using to make this path, witch?"

Ellaria hurled the accusations at Steffana,

"It's simple technoogy...from the the future. That's all. Not sorcery."

"Of course a witch would lie about her magic!" 

Still they all  continued walking toward the hidden aviaut. 

"I will explain, all of this soon...but right now, I really need for Oberyn and Tyrion to  join me...and my cause...which I will explain, soon. So then, are we agreed? Tyrion and Oberyn, both aligned with me?""

Oberyn contemplates the alternatives, and finally asks Tyrion,

"When the time comes will you be willing to bring your father to justice?"

"Are you asking if I will kill him?"

"If it comes to that."

"Well...what do you think?"

Tyrion turns to Steffana and asks,

"And so how do you propose that I become Warden of the North?"

"Well, that is going to be a bit tricky. I've got two thoughts on the matter...the first is you need to go get Sansa, and save Winterfell. The second, is that you make some new powerful allies. I'm thinking Daenerys Targaryen and  Arya Stark."
