Ch.2 Guynapping

After that horrible headache I get up and took some deep breath trying to calm myself. I am in Westeros and I am in Skaagos, wherever that is. This was not a good world for me to be in. I've never watched or read the books.

I sighed and stopped dwelling on the future and tried to focus on what's before me right now. I patted myself to see if I had anything on me that could be useful in a forest.

I had leather clothes so they will be good for keeping me warm, I had a dagger, 2 small pouch one was filled with some small berries and jerky and the other one had some small trinkets and some silver, I had a silver ring on my right middle finger and it had an engraving of a lobster holding a spear in it's claws.

The ring was given to me by my mother, she got it from the lord. This is my last remembrance of her… I took out the dagger and looked all around me, I decided to find water first… and to find that I will need to move down hill. I was on a high ground, I took notice of any peculiar trees or rock and started my descend.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have been walking for hours now, I have been marking the path I took so that I don't get lost also to pass some time and to protect myself better I was kindling a branch into a spear.

As I have been walking I have taken a notice of quite a few things mostly related to this body. Even though I have been walking for like 2 and half hours now. I still don't feel tired, it's entirely possible that the guy has more stamina than a washed up scientist… but still and the body is too tall for anyone his age and that's quite weird. I was about 6 feet which is tall for a 15 year old. Although it's entirely possible that the island is like the Nordic region with tall people?

There are so many things that I still don't understand. As I was walking down I heard a faint sound of water nearby. I quickly followed the noise and finally found a river. I jumped in happiness. I striped my leather tunic and the hemp cloth underneath along with my wooden spear and dagger and went inside the water. The water was cold but I wasn't uncomfortable at all.

I washed my body and drank from the clean river, the water was sweet and cool, it was the best water I had ever tasted. Now this is called fresh from the stream. I took another dip and got my spear and tried to fish.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the dark cold forest, a warm light can be seen… a boy sits on a log trying to keep himself warm. The forest is oddly silent with nothing to be heard except the crackling of the fire and the muttering of the boy.

I had made a small camp under a big tree a little far from the river. I had the fish cooking around the fire. "So I have great endurance, hearing and I am huge. I have like a very toned body. Probably because of all the labor I had to do around the castle."

I have been trying to talk it out loud to make some sense of it or to make myself understand it, but I just can't seem to do it. I mean, this is all supposed to be fiction. And the worst one to be in at that. I mean everyone is killable here. And how would this bastard with nothing to his name going to survive?

I mean, I'm not worried about most of the stuff cause this place is pretty far from shenanigans and I think? I still have no idea. I always heard people saying "Winter is coming" and something about a dragon mother or something? So from that I think there are dragons here and I guess an eternal winter is going to happen or something?

As I was thinking all this, I heard a rumble from my stomach. I haven't eaten anything in a while. I took a fish and started to eat. Even though this thing had nothing. It still tasted amazing. I have to say being a boy scout finally paid off.

I ate and thought about what I was going to do? I can't go home. The bitch still might be looking for me. But the question is why? She didn't care if I died or lived… well she probably cared more if I had died. But still. For 15 years she stays out of our lives and now all of a sudden. She tries to find me. What is going in her head?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In Kingshouse the seat of power for the house of Magnar. The house was in great struggle these days. The health of the lord was in decline and no sign of progress could be seen. The old man mostly spent his days lying on bed. His wife sits besides him and prays to the gods old and new everyday for his recovery but all in vain.

She was sitting besides her sick husband while he was sleep. The lady of the house was Nia she was a noble of the house of Stane. She had long brown hair with grey eyes. Her skin was white but it showed her age. She would sit beside her husband try and comfort her in any way she could… the old lord Floki couldn't get much of sleep these days cause of his health. He would wake up in the dead of the night coughing blood and gasping for air.

As the old man was sleeping, someone quitely entered the room. It was a young man with slender and frail body, the boy must be around 12 or 13. He had brown hair like his father and grey eyes like his mother. He walked up to his mother and placed his hands on her shoulder and softly said, "You should get some rest as well mother… the servants can look after him…"

Lady Nia turned to her son Sidri and said, "I am fine my son… it's my duty…"

The son smiles and says, "I hope I get to marry someone like you mother…"

She chuckled and said, "Don't worry every princess would fall in line to marry you…"

He chuckled and then looked at him and says, "It's a shame… you are wasted on him."

Her mother sighes and says, "Let's not speak of the bastard."

He nods and says, "Very well… I'll take my leave now. Make sure to get some rest."

He kissed her mother on the forehead and walks out of the room as he gets out a man catches up with him and Sidri asks, "Anything new on the bastard?"

The minister sighs and says, "No my lord, he still remains at large… we did send some men after him to his home but by the time they reached there he had already escaped…"

Sidri stops and looks at his minister and says, "Eric, I need you to find me that bastard and bring me his head… I won't have my throne compromised because of your incompetence!"
