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

[Widowmaker]

Thom slowly makes his back to the new Stark Manor. It is slow going but no one seems to bother the two of you. Most people look at you and then walk away. A few stare, but most ignore the scene.

As you arrive at the manor the guards on duty give shouts and men come running out to help. Eon, Ser Durendal, and Maester Jeremiah arrive a few minutes later. "What happened?" Eon asks.

Jeremiah takes a look at Brandon "Get him inside now, up to my quarters he needs help!"

Jeremiah looks at the other man. "This one needs help too. Bring him as well."

Jeremiah then looks at your arm. "You will survive. I will get you something for the pain."

After that Jeremiah leaves to take care of the others. Thom nearly collapses from exhaustion. A couple of the guards help him inside.

Eon and Ser Durnedal help you inside. Eon shouts "Double the guards, now!"

They then take you inside. One of the housemaids comes in with fresh water and some bandages. "What happened?" Eon asks obviously very mad.

 

[Starman]

Karrwin shakes his head. "I don't need anything for the pain. It looks worse than it is." He sits down and takes a deep breath, leaning his head back against the chair.

"We were attacked by six men after we left the tailor. Thom saved Brandon and I. I guess he thought it would be a good idea to question one of them because he didn't kill the one that was taken upstairs."

 

[Widowmaker]

After hearing the story Eon storms off. You can here him yelling something about doubling the guard.

Ser Durendal looks at you. "You were very lucky."

A few seconds later Jeremiah comes in. "Brandon is doing okay, right now. It will be a couple days before we know for sure."

He then pulls a flask from his pocket. "This will hurt and you will probably pass out. But it will heal the wound quickly and there will be no infection."

Before you can object Jeremiah has already started pouring. You feel a burning sensation. The wound turns super hot and you pass out a few seconds later.




You slowly wake up. The wound on your arm is healed, but red. There is a slight scar. You can see from the light in the window it is dusk.

 

[Starman]

Karrwin groans and rubs his head, feeling groggy. Brandon. Worried about his friend, he goes to his room to check on him.

 

[Widowmaker]

Karrwin slowly makes his way to Brandon's room. His arms burns but there is no pain. There is a long scar where the wound was. The manor house is quiet and there is not much sound. It seems most of the actvity in the yard has died down. As Karrwin enters he sees Brandon laying in the bed. He is pale, for a moment he appears dead. But he stirs just a little, finally Karrwin exhales.

As Karrwin stares at Brandon Jeremiah enters the room. "You should be asleep." He notices the look on Karrwin's face. "The worst is over, you have both been asleep for three days. He should wake any day now. Sit and I will look at your wound."

 

[Starman]

"Three days!" Karrwin half shouts. He looks around for a chair and flops down. "What's happened since then? What's going on in the city?"

 

[Widowmaker]

"There has not been much happening. A few lords and such made inquiries into what happened. Ser Durendal sent them away saying you were in the King's Forest hunting. Eon, Ser Durendal, and Thom Snow have been scowering Flea Bottom investigating what happened." Jeremiah states.

"The man Thom Snow saved is not doing well. He is worse off everyday. I am not sure I will be able to save him." Jeremiah states. "Now off to bed. There is nothing you can do. If you want your arm to get infected you will let the medicene do its work. You can leave the house tomorrow. No sooner do understand?"

 

[Starman]

"I've been sleeping for three days. I think I can handle being up for a little while," Karrwin says, stifling a yawn.

He leans down to his friend. "You getter better, Brandon. I know it's going to take more than a sword from some swine in an alley to put you down," he whispers in his ear.

He leaves the room and tracks down Eon and Durendal to see what, if anything, they have learned.

 

[Widowmaker]

Jeremiah looks at you and shakes his head. "I am telling you to rest. If you reinjure the arm while it is healing it will be worse than the first time. Your arm was nearly severed, you have to give the muscles time to heal."

Karrwin's attempts at finding Eon and Ser Durendal are useless. He finds they are out in Flea Bottom, where no one knows for sure. One of the guards does say that Tayna stopped by and delivered a note. It was delivered to your room.

When you get to your room you find a note with the House Redwyne seal. The letter has not been disturbed.

Karrwin,

I heard what happened, the guards would not let me in. But I said I would communicate with you. I believe the time nears where I can talk to you in person. I am making arraingments so it is safe. Please be patient.

Tanya

 

[Starman]

Karrwin reads the note feeling annoyed. Why must we play these stupid games? The Stark youth was aggravated that he had been hurt, that his friend was in worse shape, that he had to play games with the woman he loved because of her father, and that he couldn't find any of his damn advisors at the moment.

Karrwin yawned and then groaned. Dammit. I guess there's nothing left to do, but go back to bed like Jeremiah said. With a sigh, he went back to his chambers and went back to bed, falling asleep quickly.
