Trial By Seven III

(Third Person POV)

Eryn, one of Trevor's champions, rushed forwards to attempt to cut Baelon from the side. He was met, however, by a valyrian steel sword that he clashed against. 

"Not today." Daemon Targaryen said as he pushed him away and thrust his blade at him

Eryn parried the blade and tried to counter, clashing yet again with the Rogue Prince's Dark sister. 

"Tch...!" He said with an annoyed tone, "You foolish prince....you will die today and you will do it while protecting the Heir?" 

"That is the point of fighting in this." Daemon said as he rushed Eryn, "But not just Baelon....the dignity of our House." 

Daemon swung Dark Sister multiple times, forcing Eryn to block and dodge narrowly, almost getting cut. The Rogue Prince then pivoted to the side and thrust his blade at the bastard's thigh, which almost hit, but Eryn ended up jumping away in time. 

"You're not bad." Daemon said

"The same could be said for you." Eryn said, "For a royal cunt, you fight well." 

Daemon smirked, "I wouldn't be wielding Dark Sister if I didn't." He said, "Only worthy warriors wield this blade." 

"That sword does not belong in this family!" Eryn said as he swung his sword in a counter-slash, "None of you deserve it!!" 

Daemon ducked the slash and rushed forwards, going for an upwards slash with one hand, "Oh?" He said as Eryn stepped back to avoid it, "And you bastards deserve it? You claim to be of our blood but you are just mutts that were bred on the side...all you cling to is the fact that your blood is almost the same as ours but you will never be us, you will never be Targaryens." 

Daemon clashed against him but was met with a surprising amount of resistance which forced him back a bit. 

Eryn glared at him, "We are dragons, as much as you!" He said with anger, "What do you know?! You fuckers that grew up in a castle while we had to scrounge and fight for our survival!!" 

He thrust his blade at Daemon but missed as the Rogue Prince had already stepped aside and spun around, going for a swing. Eryn was skilled enough to block the blade at the last second and felt that their blades had bounced against each other. 

Suddenly, Eryn stepped back as a blur flashed past his face, "Tch...." 

A cut had appeared on his cheek and blood poured down as he stepped back, raising his blade in a defensive manner. He did not see the attack in time, only able to dodge to avoid the full brunt of the slash. But Valyrian Steel is sharp and even a mere touch of it is enough to cut deep. Fortunately for Eryn, the cut was not that deep. However, it was enough to have him think twice about proceeding without care. 

Daemon Targaryen was a formidable foe.....and Eryn was seeing that. 

The Rogue Prince readied a stance, "What's wrong?" He said with a chuckle, "Scared? Come on now." 

Eryn spat on the ground, "You're garbage." 

"Says the one that got cut." Daemon sneered

Eryn smiled suddenly, "You forget." He said, "It is not just you and I here." 

Daemon then heard a quick step and immediately ducked down as a sword swung above him. He rolled away on the floor and immediately got up, seeing that the other Targaryen Bastard, Lynn, had snuck behind him and tried to cut him. 

"Who's dealing with you?!" He said with annoyance

"Forgive me, My Prince." Yohn Royce immediately stepped next to Daemon, "He was faster than I thought." 

Lynn had raised his sword, "This is the best House Targaryen can offer? Three fighters?" He said, "It seems that it won't be that difficult after all?" 

"Ser Yohn, deal with your prey properly." Daemon scowled, "It's seven on seven, don't forget that." 

Ser Yohn nodded, "My apologies." He said, "I will now fight him." 

Eryn then rushed at Yohh, "I think not!!" He said as he swung his sword with blinding speed

Yohn blocked the blade and pushed him back right away, swinging in response as Eryn parried the blade. 

"It appears that we must approach this like we would a real battle, My Prince." Yohn told Daemon, "We cannot choose an opponent and expect nothing else." 

"You are right." Daemon said, "In that case...." 

Daemon rushed at Eryn and thrust his blade at him causing the bastard to pivot and block the attack as Yohn swung his sword at him as well. Eryn almost stumbled as he parried the Royce Knight's blade and stepped away as Daemon swung his blade again. 

Lynn, however, rushed past Eryn and thrust his blade at Daemon which forced the Prince to step away. Yohn, however, had already anticipated this and swung his sword at Lynn's neck which the bastard had ducked down. 

"Hm..." Lynn said as he swung his sword upward at the Royce knight

Yohn stepped back as he parried the blade, the sound of clashing steel was loud, "Interesting..." He said, "This might be more difficult than I believed." 

Daemon had swung his sword at Lynn but it was blocked by Eryn who had somehow stepped around Lynn and raised his blade in a defensive position. 

"Tch....!" Daemon said with a scowl, "You are right...." 

As the two pairs circled around each other, the sounds of clashing steel were heard clearly. This happened while the other fighters were in a deep clash, exchanging sword swings against each other. 

Over to Aemond, the One-Eyed Prince was exchanging sword swings with Daron as the bastard was jumping away for Harwin Strong to jump in and swing his sword at the Prince. 

"Mm." Aemond said as he parried the blade, "How annoying." 

They kept doing this as Harwin was keeping Gwayne on the defensive. Every chance that he gets, Breakbones will use his power and stagger the Queen's brother with a well-placed boot to the chest or knee which will open up the window for him to aid Daron against Aemond. 

Aemond was more than capable of holding his own as he skillfully parried and countered Harwin and Daron. 

"Uncle...." He said as Gwayne had gotten back to the fray, "Do not lose composure, keep your opponent at bay..." 

Gwayne spat on the ground, "My apologies, Nephew." He said, "I did not expect this sort of tactic from a former Knight like him..." 

Harwin swung his sword at Gwyane as Daron rushed at the Knight as well, "Keep up." 

Daron tried to thrust the blade at the Knight's head but it was parried by Aemond as Gwayne blocked Harwin's blade. 

"Seems that their teamwork is notable." Aemond said as he stepped away 

Daron smirked, "You flatter me, Prince...." 

Harwin spat on the ground and twirled his blade on his hand, "Enough of this...." He said, "One of you needs to fall to the ground dead." 

Aemond smirked, "Perhaps it will be you instead." 

Harwin narrowed his eyes, "We'll see about that." 

"Yes...we will..." Aemond said as he saw something past him, "Uncle, put him on the defensive." 

Gwayne rushed Harwin and swung his sword at him multiple times. As Breakbones parried the blade and stepped back a bit, Gwayne noticed the same thing that Aemond did. This happened as Aemond and Daron clashed against each other. 

"Hm..." He said as he thrust his blade at Harwin, "Well...I suppose it is not just us here...." 

Harwin looked at him as he stepped back a bit, "What do you me-" 

He then heard a step and turned around immediately. A blur flashed past him as he tried to jump away. 

Gwayne stepped back as Baelon had rushed past Harwin, cutting him in the arm. The Heir then rushed at Daron and swung Blackfyre at him as well; the bastard was able to avoid being fully cut and only suffered a single cut on his forearm that began to bleed. 

Baelon Targaryen then straightened up as Harwin and Daron stumbled, seeing that Trevor had rushed at him. 

"Hm..." He said as he parried Trevor's blade, "You fell for it." 

He went for a riposte and nearly succeeded in plunging his blade into Trevor's eye-socket. The traitor had moved his head out of the away and the valyrian steel grazed him, cutting him in the side of the face as blood poured out immediately. 

Baelon stepped back and readied a stance as the three fighters were regaining their composure. 

"How annoying..." Baelon said, "I could have ended you in that moment....but I suppose I should compliment you on your skills.....you are not as bad as I thought you were." 

Harwin scowled as he held on to his arm, "You...." He said, "Attacking us while we are not looking." 

"Shut up." Baelon said, "This is a battle, not an honorable duel. I will kill every single one of you in this fight. You are good, the three of you...." 

"But I am better."
