AGOT - Winter is Coming - Solo - Chapter 1 & 2

Karrwin groans. "I don't know, Eon. I understand your reasons for doing it, but I don't think I want to be party to something like that. Can't we find another solution to this?"

Eon looks at you for a minute and then opens his mouth and then closes it. "I have another idea nothing that bad. Give me a minute." He walks out.

A few minutes later he returns "I spoke to Jeremiah, he and I have a plan. Nothing horrible but at the same time there will some long lasting effects. Will that work?" Eon states.
 


"I was trying to protect you. All right well, Jeremiah said he could make a drink where Ser Webber would lose his memory. The only problem is that Jeremiah said that each person is different. While Ser Webber may lose only a days memory, he may lose a month or two." Eon states to you rather plainly.
 

"Dammit." Karrwin sits down and looks at the ground. Is this what it means to be a lord? To have to make decsions like this? He mentally debates the issue for a moment before looking up at Eon and nodding.

"Okay, let's do it, but, Eon...let's try not to put ourselves in this kind of position in the future. Maybe it's naive of me, but I hate this kind of thing. Killing a man in the field is one thing. This, this is...well, I don't know if it's wrong, but I don't think it's right."
 

"A few minutes ago you made a decision, War. You choose that when you stopped being neutral and chose a side. The battlefield is different. The man may not be before you with a sword, but he is stalking around behind your back." Eon states

"That is why I suggested killing him. It is easy and final. There is no messing that up. This other choice has consequences. Hence why I tried to keep you out of it. Maybe I shouldn't but I was trying to protect you." Eon continues.

"You need to take a hard look at yourself. If you cannot handle it or don't have the stomach then you need to step down. Leadership is making the hard decisions." Eon finishs and walks out leaving you to your thoughts.
 

Karrwin feels a flash of anger. I know what leadership is! Father taught me well. He forgets the difference between war and backstabbing. Give me a battlefield and a foe to meet head on. That is honorable. Not pretty and not something to like too much, but at least I won't feel troubled by it. I may have to keep an eye on Eon. He is a friend, no doubt. I will always trust him my life and the lives of my men. But, I'm not sure I trust him with situations such as this.

Karrwin shakes his head and decides that it is time for bed. He lays down, but it is hours before he falls asleep, thoughts of Jacen Webber dancing through his head.
 

After tossing and turning throughout the night sleep finally catches hold on Karrwin. Just as it feels good to be sleeping Karrwin is awakened by Tyler.

"Karrwin it is time to get up" Tyler gives you a tap. "Karrwin it's time to wake."

When he sees some movement from you "Lord Fossoway will see you for breakfast. You have to get ready. I let you sleep as long as possible."
 


"Breakfast is at Lord Fossoway's tent. He is expecting you." Tyler states. "He gives you a quick run down of events that have happenend over the morning. Nothing of real importance is mentioned until the end.

"Ser Jacen Webber was found wondering tourney field this morning. Many have stated the knight was highly intoxicated as he could not answer any questions. Many said he was incoherent and had extreme trouble walking." He mentions the last bit as you make it to the tent.

The guards let you through to the tent. There is not much in the way of splendor in the tent it seems quite functional. You enter into a back part where a table has been set up. A servant is just walking out. The side of the tent are open to the east to allow the morning sun into the tent. There are only two chairs at the table. Lord Fossoway sits admiring the just rising sun. Tyler nods to and then walks off.

Sitting on a plate in front of you are a pair of poached goose eggs, honey bacon, some black bread, and a few pieces of fruit. A glass of goats milk and bright wine sit above the plate.

"Ah perfect timing Karrwin. Breakfast was just served. Please sit and enjoy the sunrise."
