The Vale 4: A Hero
[X]Fight them!: You've killed five all by yourself… what's 12 more?
You smiled and twirled your blade, smiling and standing ready to face a dozen men running towards you, and they were all furious and terrified, coming at you with anger and fury that could only rival men who had nothing to lose.
You stood ready, taking a deep breath, and stood firm, tall and wonderful, as you smiled wondering what you would say to your friend, and Lord's when you got back home. Or when you were back to the Eyrie.
Jaime. A voice whispered in your ear, and you almost froze in terror at the tone, the voice you recognized. It was Mother's voice.
You could almost feel something… cold and ancient watching over you as you still stood there, watching the death come closer to fight you, and suddenly you confidence felt like nothing… you wanted to run away.
But instead, you heard her voice again, in the same tone as she told you that you could be whatever you choose to be.
It's okay. I'm here.
Remember what I told you.
And you could feel the Stranger's grip, his fear, and his hesitation… melt away.
Mother was watching over you, and you were safe. You would survive this.
And they came.
Round one:
D100 + 70 => 153 vs
D100 + 30 => 47
Two came forward, and you moved quickly.
There was a thrust to your weak side, your sword hand, and pushed it to the side with a flick of your sword. Your other was like a spring to give or take momentum, you pushed to use your sword to stab while keeping the other man at bay.
The first had a death rattle a final strike to try and kill you, ashe swung widely, but you ducked underneath his strike, and letting up on the slack of your arm, your other opponent was slashed, deeply on his shoulder and down his torso.
Your sword quickly moved out of them, and both collapsed into each other as you walked backward, getting out of their way.
You could hear the thunder of hooves coming your way, Lord Arryn's knights were coming and you were sure that it would not be long until they-
You dodged, ducking under a heavy ax as you were surrounded by three sides.
Round 2:
D100 + 70 => 109 vs
D100 + 30 => 38
interrupt.
But all you did was smirk and crouch, on one knee. And the knights killed the men standing, avoiding you.
Fight Auto ends.
Flawless victory.
The Knights kill the rest, and then you feel strange… lightheaded, and Weezy.
And then you lost consciousness.
Dream:
D100 => 100
---------------------------
You were… in a dream… you think the world was black, but you could make out something…
What was it?
[]The Father?: Your father was standing there, at his desk, unhappy as looked at you.
[]The Mother?: Your mother was looking at you with a shallow smile… but she was not happy to see you. "Jaime… why are you here?"
[]The Smith: You looked at Tyrion… so much bigger than you last saw him, but still so small… and you just watched him look at a woman… and then a shadow?
[]The Maiden: Cersai looked at you as she walked towards you, naked as she was when you last saw her, coming towards you, holding you tight. "Jaime, what is the matter?"
[]The Warrior: You saw… Yourself, posted and chained up. "Oh come now little one… there are no men like me… only me."
[]The Crone: You saw a woman with Ashen hair, screaming at the top of her lungs, as you looked out and saw yourself… in armor… in a white cloak… "You are no hero."
[]The Stranger: It sat alone, with a sad smile on it's face. It was a shimmering specter wearing your face, as you hung from a tree. "It's alright young one… this is not your fate, unless you want it to be?"
