LIGHTNOVELSTORY Chapter 19: A kind soul
Gwayne rode a few miles away from the battle, towards the north. He knew he couldn't get to Golden Tooth bleeding, but he knew Corvarbor's headquarters had fallen for the lions, was over our possession and could get some help from the Castle Maester. He noticed they weren't the only ones who managed to escape, had passed through one or two Lannister soldiers on foot and then another one approaches on a horse, but he walked away to see we were wounded. Maybe they had escaped before the battle began, or managed to escape or worse... The camp fell. Gwayne spotted a village on the horizon and pressed the horse's step. He stopped in the middle of the village, near a water well and turned the horse. But it didn't seem to have anyone, the doors of the houses were closed and without any light. Gwayne thought he saw a movement in one of the windows. He got off the horse and tied him near the well, leaving Daeron lying on the horse. He ran to the door of the house where he thought he saw the movement a moment ago at the window. — he knocked hard against the door. So the door opened and a spear advanced in a clumsy attack of the darkness inside the house. Gwayne managed to divert, pulling the tip of the spear with the sword. - I don't wish to hurt you, please!
- You fought on which side? Gwayne kept the sword to show trust. But she spotted the lion in the wield and tried to close the door quickly, he stopped her from doing that, using the body to push the door. "While she screamed, go away! — We won't hurt anyone from this village, but the other lions who escaped from battle will not be so honored!""" Please. We are enemies of your lord, but I do not wish to hurt your people for no reason. — Gwayne threw his sword and his dagger into the house. – I am unarmed.
- So... she said, brusquely. - Go a little back. He obeyed and she took the sword and the dagger, she looked at him with semicrated eyes, while holding the spear between the arm and the twist. – Bring your friend and I'll see what I can do. – she said she, at last. — if you try anything... i swear! Gwayne observed her briefly before she left. She looked like a peasant in her thirty-something years. He came back bringing his friend in and took it inside, she indicated a bed and Gwayne slowly laid him down. It was a simple house of three rooms and a fireplace. Gwayne watched while he was taking Daeron's mesh quota.
Here, where he was wounded by an arrow. – indicated Gwayne, while putting the other hand in a chair to support himself, but his body fought and he fought not to fall. – You need more care of him than he -- — the arrow is holding Gwayne, but his wounds are open. — I'm fine -- — I'm fine -- — I'm fine -- — I'll take care of him. — I'll take care of him. — you said she, let me help take care of him. — I'm fine; take care of him. —I'll take care of him.—I'll take care of him.—You need more care of him.—I'll take care of him.—I'm fine, let me take care of him.—You need more care of him than he—— After removing the armor and the mesh quota, she indicated the abdomen. — it doesn't seem serious, but it'll be a scar. – she said it, apathetic. – but the leg needs points and a Maester to look at, if it won't die of infection. Daeron woke up in bed. - We're alive. - He said, with the weak mouth.
- For the seven, fuck, he said, looking at his arm. - I'm gonna die, I'm dying. She observed. These are the men who are surrounding Riverrun? – said she, with incredulity in the voice. — You seem very young for the war and forgive me the speech, but your friend looks more like one of the florid flowers of the camp. — she released a weak and shy smile. — We're from Bosque D'ouro, is near... — Gwayne noticed that she didn't understand. — ended it pleasantly. — — she ended it more of the camp.— – she has more of the camp's friend.– she has left him more of the flowerful fidel.–— So she walked to the fireplace and took a red brasier from the heat of fire. - Is that for me?
- To you, I suggest you die this. - She said, delivering a piece of wood. And pulled the arrow in one time, before he could realize and scream, was passed out over the bed. Which made the job easier with the brazer. — Your turn... — said she, with the accurate voice approaching. She brought the hot iron to the abdomen and Gwayne managed to feel the extreme heat before she reached her skin. He didn't want to scream in pain in front of a woman, he kept the pain for himself, but the face of pain he couldn't help it. But finally he stopped to notice her better during this moment of pain, his green eyes and red hair. Very beautiful for a simple peasant, thought he did. — what's your name? – asked him, to distract himself from the pain. — My enemy doesn't need to know my name. – said she, distancing if again — finished her, quietly. — My name is Gwayne and he informed him. She sat near the bed where Daeron was, her face got sad and a redheaded child came out of the room running to her. Gwayne noticed she was a little girl. — no, they're not... — answered her mother, with her voice down. Then she looked at Gwayne and her eyes clinged for a second until she looked away at the child.
- Now go back to your room and wait for me there. The child ran into the room again - how old is she... - he said, but he gave up the question. So, someone knocked hard at the door and came in two men holding axes. Gwayne got up quickly and walked as fast as he can to his sword. — stop now, or we'll kill you! — they screamed men. — it already did, they're not bad, these young people just need care. — you're looking after enemies, woman? — Bradowed one of the men, one with a beard now. — it already done. — said she quickly. - You should be ashamed, Jocelyn!
The important thing is that they're here... wounded... said she, in a very accurate way. – that means the siege fell and my husband, my son and his boys returned home! They looked at Gwayne's frown and went out mumbling. — it's good they came to save you — said Gwayne. — although they came a little late if we were bad men. At least they came, they do what they can. – said she, cabisbass.— they have their own families to take care of and yet they came to my rescue, I'm grateful to them for that.
She sat down. What are you gonna do now? Gwayne put his hand on the chin and sat down. — We still have the possession of Corvarbor, we'll go there. – Well, it's the nearest fortress out here taking Riverrun. – So that's where we're going, we don't intend to die so young. — Be careful, you look good boys. — I'll do something for you to eat, ma't. — So be very much, ma't intend to die so young. — — So be careful, you look so young.–You look very good.– So be very much, ma'm afraid, –T want to die so young.R– we still have the possession of Solar de Corvar——re still have the possession of the sun\8211 - I'm a simple peasant...
- You're the lady of this house, and we're your unexpected visitors, you had no reason to give us shelter and heal, and yet you did. It's the least I can do for now. — he said it in pleasant tone. She smiled lightly and started preparing eggs and bread. Gwayne woke Daeron softly and made him sit on the bed. — I'm fine... — said he, giving a slight moan of pain. She called from the kitchen, they went at the same time. They found a table full, bread, eggs, hard cheese and fruit. – Help yourselves, please. – said she, on the tip of the table with the little girl now next door. They sat down and started eating. — Jocelyn... — Started Gwayne, looking into the eyes. — your husband's a knight? - He's a walking knight, sold his sword to Lord Hoster Tully.
Gwayne made a face for the little girl and she laughed. They took breakfast together and then they prepared to leave, they won some bread to take on the trip. Gwayne helped Daeron get on the horse and returned to talk to her at the door. — Keep this. — said he said, delivering his dagger and teaching him some fast tactics to use him without having to enter into body combat. – has a lion in the wielding, if any lion shows up here, tell him the village is under Sor Gwayne Vienister's protection by Lord Jaime Lannister. And with that, Gwayne delivers four silver deer. - Thank you for helping us. - He said, with a smile on his face.
She smiled back. So he went back on the horse and rode back, while Jocelyn was watching them leave.
