Reborn in Westros

Chapter Fourteen: The Competition Part One

I'm treated you today with a double update, it seems.

********************************************************************************

I had to admit that I was nervous. It was time for the competition of the man I would spend the rest of my life with.

We prepared a field and fabric made buildings, but you could see Mount Cailin in the distances.

My brother prepared his banners to go to war the moment my wedding night happened.
Tywin Lannister actually accepted the invitation and that he was send six different men to participate, Jamie being one of them and thr other was the fucking mountain.

That son of a bitch and what was worse,he says he is here in behalf of Joffery. I will kill him myself at this rate.

The Tyrells send Willas who was here with his grandmother and sister.
She is very pretty but I could see the sly smirk, especially around Robb and Jea. I just laughed at that because Ygritte would kick her arse but she knew she might have to share.

I saw Roose Bolton trying to convince Domeric to enter but he was in love with another but the Karstarks were smirking with Alarik, he looked at me with this look i could not determine but he made my core heat up.

I looked to see Great Jon talking to his son about him doing his best.
As well as many houses and a few commoners taking part.

Oberyn Martell was a nice suprise, he is sexy and moved with a grace that took me a few years to master and I know he would treat me well and I did not mind Elliara.

It was nice that despite the tension, there was a sense of normalcy. I was brought out of thought by the arrival of Ten Freys arrivals to participate and I looked at Alarik, Willas, Jamie and Tormund and they all looked at those men as target practice.

Tormund looked at them with a sneer, it still suprised me that he wanted to join and when I asked him.
He said that he would be an idiot not to join, kept saying that both me and Brienne were perfect woman.
I have been trying to match them but they kept butting heads, so we will see how everything goes but I knew by the end of this the mountain would die.
I looked and saw Oberyn looking at the mountain with rage and I indicated for Obara to go to her father.

I walked towards the centre of the field having my guards following me.

"Welcome to the competition, there will be four tests that you must pass but for today and tomorrow will be round one.
You will be divided into groups as their are so many of you. There will be ten groups, you will be given one colour ribbon to show your group and the last one standing of these groups will go to the next round.
Good luck gentlemen."

I walked away towards my chair to view the fights and could hear everyone celebrating and the fields cleared.
After about an hour, the horn blows to indicate the first group.

We could see different men of all different shapes and sizes coming in.
I saw Alarik in this group with a blue ribbon.
He looked at me with a smirk then turned to face the nine other men in the group.
I was nervous because Alarik is my friend and I could very much see him as a lover and hoped he would win.

The horn sounds again to indicate that they should start and a frey that was there got his dagger out then stabbed the person next to him, that seems to get everyone going.
It felt a bit like bloody mayhem, the battle was fierce but short.
Alarik looked like a war god, cutting through people like butter but not enough to kill them or they yielded when they had no other choice.
Alarik won , everyone in the winter guard screamed for joy. I stood up and clapped with a small smile. He smiled back and nodded at me before bowing and walked away.

It took a few minutes for everyone to walk or carried away then the horn blew again.
The yellow group came out next, this time Jamie Lannister was the most talented one fo the group, he looked focused on everyone in his group, he looked at me with a small smirk but soon as the horn blew, he was focused and cutting men down or forcing their yield.
He was quick and efficient then the match was over. I did the same as I did with Alarik win, he smiled and bowed.
This happened for the other seven groups over the course of two days, I now had Alarik Karstark, Jamie Lannister, Willas Tyrell, Tormund Giantsbane, Leyland Bracken,   Hector Arryn, Ryland Royce, Dylan Greyjoy and small Jon Umber.
We were on the last round with the black ribbons. This one was the one I was most nervous about, Oberyn and The mountain were in this fight and I knew it would come down to them.
I asked Oberyn to not toy to much because the mountain would kill him if he did.
He agreed but I know he wants to toy with him.
Everyone that was able came to watch this match, we were all on the edge of our seats.
Once everyone was on the field the horn blew and the gregor slew three Frey men in one go.
That was concerning but what suprised me was Thoros of Myr was competing and was giving him a run for his money. He was trying to tire him out.
Oberyn was destroying the men he was fighting till it was just the three of them.
Thoros and Oberyn nodded to each other and circled gregor making sure he was never focused on one person.

I could not hear what was being said but I could tell gregor was getting fed up and started charging at them.
Thoro stabbed gregor in the side but was then punched which sent him flying back.
Oberyn pulled a dagger from his hip and jumped on gregors back then stabbed him repeatedly in his neck.
It took a few moments of battling it out but gregor fell to the floor with a loud thud and everything was quiet.

I stood up and started to clap with a large smile on my face then everyone else started to join me, Oberyn had a smirk on his face and nodded at me in thanks.

"We have our champions, tonight we shall feast and from tomorrow will be round two. The champions will be given a series of questions suited to them, they will have to answer these to my satisfaction before moving on to the next round."

Everyone yelled in joy because I had already set up a melee for everyone else, so no one would be bored or a hunt.
I left at this because it had been a long few days but at least I had my ten champions.

Now it was the question of who would pass the next round?
