(Y/N) pov

After being taken under protection by the brotherhood without banners after Arya's identity is revealed by the man they call the hound we get taken to a cave where the brotherhood have hide from the Lannisters and we all stand in a circle around the fire as the hound is left surrounded by us, a man takes the hood off the hounds head and he turns his half burned face to look at all of us "you look like a bunch of swineherds" he says "some of us were swineherds and some were tanners and masons that was before" another man replies "you're still a bunch of swineherds and tanners and masons" he says "you think carrying a crooked spear makes you a soldier" the hound says "no" a voice calls from behind the crowd, some of the crowd then part revealing a man standing there with an eyepatch over his right eye "fighting in a war makes you a soldier" the man says as he slowly approaches "Beric Dondarrion?" the hound says as if he has met this man before "you've seen better days" the hound jokes "and I won't see them again" Beric replies the hound looks around at all of the brotherhood "Stark deserters, Baratheon deserters, you lot aren't fighting in a war you're running from it!" he yells at them "last I heard you were King Joffrey's guard dog but here you are a thousand miles from home, which of us is running?" Beric asks "untie these ropes and we'll find out, what are you doing leading a mob of peasants?" the hound asks "Ned Stark ordered me  to execute your brother in King Roberts name" Beric replies "Ned Stark is dead" the hound says as I glimpse over to Arya "King Robert is dead, my brother is alive" the hound says before spitting on the ground "you're fighting for ghosts" he says "that's what we are, ghosts waiting for you in the dark, you can't see us but we can see you, no matter whose cloak you wear, Lannister, Stark, Baratheon, you prey on the weak and the brotherhood without banners will hunt you down" Beric says "you've found god? Is that it?" the hound replies as he shuffles about against the ropes tied around his body "aye I've been reborn in the light of the one true god" Beric says "for fuck sake not this again" I say under my breath Arya then elbows my side "as have we all, and so would any man who has seen the things we've seen" Beric says "if you mean to kill me then bloody well get on with it!" the hound yells.

"You'll die soon enough dog" Thoros says "but it won't be murder. Only justice" he says "a kinder fate than you deserve" a man says "lions you call yourselves at the mummers ford, girls of seven years were raped and babes still at the breast were cut in two while their mothers watched!" the man yells "I wasn't at the mummers ford dump your dead babies at someone else's door" the hound replies as he steps forward "house Clegane is built on dead children, I saw them, the Targaryen children in Kings Landing" Thoros says "do you take me for my brother? Is being born a Clegane a crime!" the hound yells out "murder is a crime!" a man yells "I never touched the Targaryen babies! I never saw them! I never smelled them! I never heard them! you want to cut my throat then fucking get on with it! but don't call me murderer and pretend that your not" the hound says angrily Arya then steps forward "you murdered Micah" she calls out "the butcher's boy, my friend" she says "she had friends" I say sarcastically only to be smacked on the back of my head by Gendry "he was twelve years old, unarmed, and you rode him down" she says as Beric walks towards us "and you slung him over your horse like he was a deer" she says "aye, he was a bleeder" the hound says " you don't deny killing this boy?" Beric Dondarrion asks as he turns his head to face the hound "I was Joffrey's sworn shield the boy attacked the prince" the hound replies "that's a lie! I hit Joffrey, Micah just ran away!" Arya yells back "then perhaps I should have killed you, not my place to question the prince" the hound says.  Everyone goes quiet as Beric circles the hound "you stand accused of murder...but nobody knows the truth of these accusations, so it is not for us to judge only the lord of light may judge you, I sentence you too trial by combat" Beric  says all of a sudden the hound laughs "all right who is it going to be? you Beric or you Thoros, what about the skinny lad. he looks like he could kill" the hound says as he looks at me "maybe it will be me maybe I might just come over there and put you down...like a dog." I say as I stare at him "so are the only ones with balls here the walking skeleton and the girl" the hound asks the crowd mockingly but instead Beric looks at us and smiles "aye they might be, but it will be me that you will fight" he says calmly as the hound looks at the one eyed man with anger.
