Torrhen Stark :The Mighty Wolf

Chapter 9

We see as Ned is in the dungeon cell breathing heavily then out of no where a light was getting closer as the light got close enough Ned could see it was Varys Again with his torch

Varys:you've seen better days my lord

Ned:another visit ? Seem like you're my last friend

Ned says as he looks at the water Varys is carrying and then at Varys

Varys:no no may still love you

Varys gives the water pouch to Ned

Varys:Sansa came to court this morning to plead for your life

Ned:on her knees begging for me hmm did you laugh wit the others

Varys:you do me wrong my lord your blood is the last thing I want

Ned:I don't know what you want I've given up trying to guess

Varys:when I was still a boy before they cut my balls off with a hot knife I traveled with a group of actors through the free cities they taught me that each man has a role to play the same is true at court I am the master of whisperers my role is to be sly obsequious and without scruples I'm a good actor my lord

Ned:-gives out a small chuckle- can you free me from this pit

Varys:I could but will I ,no

Ned gives out a small sarcastic laugh

Varys:as I said I am no hero

Ned:what do you want tell me no riddles no stories tell me what do you want

Ned said getting obviously annoyed That's when Varys gets down to his level

Varys: peace did you know that one of your sons is marching down south with an army of Northman and the other one is at war with the Lannister destroying the river lands loyal lads fighting for their father's freedom and justice to the northmen

Ned:Torrhen and Robb their just boys

Varys:boys have been conquers before but the man giving Cersei sleepless nights as the kings hehe the late kings brother lord Stannis has the best clam to the throne he is a proven battle commander and he is utterly without mercy

Ned:stannis Baratheon is Robert's true heir the throne is his by rights

Varys then stands up to look down at Ned

Varys:Sansa pleaded so sweetly for your life it would be a shame to throw it away Cersei is no fool she knows a tame wolf is more use to her than a dead one

Ned:you want me to serve the women who murdered my king who butchered my men who crippled my son

Varys:I WANT YOU TO SERVE THE REALM Tell the queen you will confess your vital treason tell your sons to lay down their swords and proclaim Joffrey as the true heir Cersei know you as a man of honor if you give her the peace she needs and promise to carry her secret to your grave I believe she will allow you to take the black and live out your days on the wall with your brother and your bastard son

Ned:-chuckles- you think my life is some precious thing to me as I would trade my honor for a few more years of what of what you grew up with actors you learn there craft and you Learnt it well but I grew up with soldiers I learned how to die a long time ago

Varys:pity such a pity

That's when Varys stands up before staring to walk away before turning back for one last day

Varys:what of your daughters life my lord is that a precious thing to you

That's when Ned looks at the disappearing Varys before being left to his own thought
