Game Of Thrones: House Bracken

No less than 2 months later the entourage arrived back again. They had not yet stopped and the killing of Lady, the direwolf has not yet happened.

We welcomed them again, similarly to last time. However instead this time they camped outside the keep, a few kilometres away. They had joined us for a feast and the King continued with his usual whoring, I continued to talk a lot with the Queen, especially about the current potlitical situation. Similarly I also talked a great deal with the new Hand of the King, Lord Edward Stark.

I gave him a few honest lessons on how the political situation in Kings Landing currently was as well as on whom to trust and not. By the way Lord Stark was looking at and treating me after this talk, it seemed that he appreciated it. After the feast we went to sleep.

The next day I went to the King's camp, that's when I found Lady Sansa Stark walking through the camp, I had her to talk to her. Just as I was about to walk up to her I found myself viewing on the very similar situation as in the series, Ilyn Payne scaring the shit out of the poor girl, then the Hound joining in. Then I turned around to my new guard.

Jack Lychester, originally he was apart of the Lychester Family, however he was thrown out due to his extreme skills in leading people, which put the then heir whom became Lord during the war at risk of being overthrown. He was therefore ambushed. Luckily he managed to escape.

Later after the war he came to me, he had light brown heir, 6 feet tall, his hair was slicked back. ( if you watch the 2nd episode where Sansa's wolf is killed, the solider reporting in its whereabouts is basically a copy of Jack ) I had decided to copy a bit of the Lannister Armor and I had given my 200 men but it was black instead of red and red instead of gold. Similarly they also wielded a special helmet ( photo in comments )

Jon and Jorgen were my personal guards while Jack was given command of the unit.

"Jack, get someone to prepare the 200 men then follow me." I said, he quickly ran off somewhere as I continued watching.

I stopped the Prince staying around a corner waiting for a signal from the Hound. Of course it wasn't natural. He was peeling his head out of the corner and tried to hide it, but every solider around me raised an eyebrow.

Quickly enough Joffrey arrived to save his Lady, and then he left with her towards a small lake a few minutes walk away. It had passed about 5 minutes since Jack left, and he was back just in time for us to follow them.

The poor prince, had no doubt at all anywhere he went. He didn't even bother looking around, all he did was scare a few animals by taking his sword out, and even then he was shaking a bit.

Soon enough we arrived at a spot where of course, Arya was fighting a random ass boy. Soon enough the Prince entered his cocky moments and began demanding the boy to fight. However, unlike the butchers boy, he fought. He picked up the sword and began attacking. The Prince was terrible at swordplay, but he only needed to block once and the stick would be gone. Soon enough the butcheres sword was cleaved in two.

And Joffrey did a full swing, it being extremely bad, something a modern kid would do with a stick, but it had power. The boy got so afraid that he fell on the ground. Joffrey then began cutting his cheeks like he usually does and Arya went on her hitting spree again, however she only got in one hit. He then began slashing like a madman, that's when 3 more of my men arrived.

"Jack, stop him." I said.

"Yes, My Lord. You follow me." He said as he signalled one of them to follow him. He then went out of the bushes and , unlike the show, she didn't fall, but instead was pushed against the tree, and in his mad fight he swung at her. Luckily Jack got there and parried the Sword sending it out of his hands and flying.

That's when a wolf came flying out the bushes.

"Jack stop that wolf!" I screamed as I entered from the forest with my 2 guards.

"Jonnel, stop that wolf! But don't kill it!" Jacks smart mind immediately understood "Stop" and not "kill" in my order.

Jonnel, against all odds, sheathed his sword before jumping on the wolf and tackling it to the group, hurriedly ceasing it's approach.

"Arya! Tell your wolf to stop!" I screamed.

She had seen me before with her father and therefore trusted me enough.

"Nymphoria! Stop! Stop!" Arya screamed.

Thankfully the Dire Wolf stopped. However Jonnel had gotten bit in the arm, nothing permanent but it would scar a bit and his arm armor was destroyed, a Dire Wolf's bit was indeed scary.

That's when I approached the Prince.

"My Prince, are you okay?" I said

"Of course not! One of your men attacked me! Have him executed immediately." He screamed, trying to order me.

"Prince Joffrey, I shall not have my men executed for following my orders." I said.

"What you mean orders!? You ordered him to attack me!?" He screamed.

"Yes, I ordered him to stop you from killing the Daughter of the Hand of the King. The repercussions from this would be enormous!" I said, lecturing the Prince.

"Wait till my Mom hears of this!" He screamed as he ran off.

I then turned to the guy who had been fighting Joffrey. He had surprisingly not ran away.

"What's your name boy?" I asked

"C-cregan, my-y Lord." He said with a shaky voice.

"Relax, I won't hurt you. How old are you?"

"12, My Lord." He said

"Very good, well the Prince will want your head after this, what will you do?"

"R-r-run a-away, My-y Lord?" He said trembling.

"How about, you instead come and work for me?" I asked

"O-of c-course My Lord! I-i would be grateful!" He said

"Very good, Jack, get him to the keep and keep a guard with him at all times."

"Yes, My Lord. It shall be done."

With that I turned to Arya and Sansa whom are both still shocked about this.

"Alright, shall I get you two ladies to your father?" I asked

"Y-yes, p-please do, My Lord." Sansa stark said being the mature one.

"No need for the formalities, My Lady, Alexander is fine." I said

"Okay, well then please none of that "My Lady" stuff please." Sansa said regaining her composure.

With that, me, Jack and another guy alongside the two Stark Ladies walked together. The last man had left with Jonnel to fix his arm.

We began walking and I made some small talk with the two stark ladies but they were both quite shocked and therefore majority of the time was spent walking in silence.

Just before we arrived at camp, we met up with 24 other men, they were all from the original 50 and another 150 was waiting, prepared in case I had to give a signal.

Soon enough, once we reached the camp with our 25 men, we were confronted by 50 Baratheon men, about 10% of all Baratheon men in their travel group. They were led by a Baratheon House Guard Captain and Prince Joffrey, it seemed that he decided to take actions himself.

As we were standing Infront of each other, each side having their arm on their sword, the Captain came forward.

"Lord Alexander Bracken, on behalf of Crown Prince Joffrey Baratheon, you will be required to hand over Lady Arya Stark, and her wolf to be questioned in front of the King, as well as Sansa Stark to serve as witness." He said

Jack then stepped forward upon my signal.

"And does the King know about this?" He asked.

The Captain then turned towards Joffrey for an answer whom nodded.

"Yes, this is on the order of the King." He said, obviously lying. However that's when Lord Eddard Stark, Jory Cassel and 40 Stark House Guards arrived. Ned immediately went to his daughters and I signalled for the men to let him through.

On cue, 60 Lannister men arrived. Jon and Jorgen also arrived.

That's when Jaime stepped forward to talk. However that's when the King arrived, he came through the Baratheon forces alongside his 5 KG knights.

"Lord Bracken, Joffrey, Ned, Jaime, what is the meaning of this!?"

"Father! Arya hit me, I was about to take her with me to you for questioning when the brackens stopped me." Joffrey said and Cersei went up to him to check on him.

That's when I went forward with Jon and Jorgen, Jack was already there.

I then bowed in one knee.

"King Robert, I was walking around in the wood when I heard fighting. When I arrived I saw Arya Stark and a boy named Carthogan fighting with sticks. That's when Prince Joffrey arrived, he then took out his metal sword and challenged the random guy whom only had a stick. As Joffrey was about to cut him, Carthogan took up the stick and began fighting back. Joffrey was loosing till Carthogan on accident hit Joffreys Sword on accident.

Immediately after Joffrey swung on him with the force to kill but he managed to dodge. Joffrey was about to begin torturing the poor lad until Arya stepped up to protect him. Immediately after he began swinging his sword with more than enough power to decapitate Arya in two. He also had no control as he did the rookie mistake in only focusing on power. As Joffrey was about to kill Arya I ordered my men to intercept, which they did, and disarming Joffrey with one strike.

Immediately after, Arya's Dire Wolf attacked Joffrey, and one of my men selflessly threw himself on the wolf, throwing it to the ground and holding it there so that the Prince could escape. Said guy had to be taken to the maester." I said as I finished.

"Stand up, Lord Bracken. You have done nothing wrong." Robert said.

"Everyone return to your barracks, Alexander, bring me the man attacked. Sansa, Arya, Joffrey, Jaime, Cersei, Ned follow me with 5 of your men, we will come to an end with this." And with that he began walking to his camp. I then took our 5 best men, Jon, Jorgen and 3 others before joining the King.

He then sat down with Cersei standing on his right and Joffrey on his left.

"Very well, let's end it. Let's hear from all parts. Jonnel and my 3 other men said the exact same, Arya as well, Joffrey said my 3 men and wolf ganged on him and Sansa didn't remember.

"Well, the odds are largely for Arya's side of the story as they had 6 witnesses and Joffrey only had himself. With this I will discipline Joffrey, Ned I trust you to do the same and Alexander, Jonnel, Jack, Jon and Jorgen shall be knighted, Jon and Jorgen by Jaime, Jack and Jonnel by Ilyn Payne."

"Thank you, My King." I said as we all bowed, before we left again. However as I was about to leave Cersei came to me.

"Lord Alexander, please follow me." She said

"Of Course, My Queen." I said as I followed her. She then led me to her chambers.

When we arrived she turned to me.

"Lord Alexander, may I ask, whom side are you on? Lannister or Stark?" She said in a sweet tone.

"Of course I am on your side, Your Grace." I said.

"You see, I have come to doubt due to recent actions from your side. The fact that you ordered your men to take arms against Joffrey, as well as testify against him."

"My Queen, I had no choice. Could you imagine the consequences if Arya got killed? Especially in my Land. It was a require sacrifice for the greater good." I said

"Hmmmm, very well. I shall accept it this time. Your loyalty will be acknowledged and rewarded, sooner than you may expect."

She turned around and signalled for me to leave, which I gladly did.
