Capítulo 17: A True Hunter
Aleksi POV:
As I stared at Rose, I reached my hand towards her causing her to flinch. Making me raise my eyes, " You should probably leave her for a bit, she's not used to seeing you like this. "
" Aye, it would be best I have loads of question for my father. "
Kate nodded towards me, heading for the door I suddenly froze. " Oy Lad, Lord Stark wishes to speak with you. " What a pain this will be.
Turning around, I saw the Starks drinking and laughing with Eddard staring at me, his guards tense.
" What is it you need of me Lord Stark. " I stared down at him lowering my head slightly.
" I have questions for you, such as the stories I've heard of you. "
" That strength of yours, where'd you get it. " He pointed towards me, while staring at the man that was now being lifted out of the tavern.
" I am unsure, It may have came from my training. " I shrugged my shoulders showing a awkward smile.
" No man gains your strength from just training, not in my 30 years has someone had that much strength. To make a grown man's face change that much. " He stared at me pointing to the door where Clay got taken out.
" So tell me, where did you get your power from. Magic, the gods or something else. Which is it? " He questioned leaning in
" Through blood. "
" Blood magic? " He asked intrigued
" No, " I asserted, " Born from our's mother's blood, made men by our partner's blood, die from our own blood. " I quoted as the voice in my head spoke
The Stark stared at me with a confused look, " And what is that supposed to mean, Hunter. "
" Hunter is my job, not my title, Our parents desired us and we are born, We desire our lover and our desire leads to our future undoing. " I blanked out as I spoke those words, A figure of a old man appeared in front of me. 'Gehrman' I gritted my teeth
" Aye, I guess what you speak of is correct. Why don't you train my children, your style is strange but useful. "
" I am not trained myself. Those styles were self taught. However if Lord Stark is expecting me to train his children then I shall. " Bowing my head, I looked a the kids. Arya and John were staring at me and the others were half a sleep or focused on something else.
" Since your training them, you may call me Ned. Makes it easier that way. " Eddard spoke with a smile.
"Of course Lord Star.. I mean Ned. "
" haha, good. Now why don't you go do your thing, when shall my children come for training. "
" Tomorrow as soon as the sun rises. " I stared at Ned.
" Very well, you hear him! " Ned turned to his kids to which they nodded.
' I'll have to go easier on the younger ones, Jon and Robb should be able to take tougher training ' I thought to myself.
" If I may, I have to leave now. To prepare for the lessons. "
" Aye, you may go. " He waved me off and turned to his children with a smile and laughter.
Leaving the tavern, the streets were filled with people and laughter, dancing or feasting upon food. It was a beautiful sight to see a small village like this turn into a large town, filled with people and festivities.
My head filled with voices, it was a strange feeling but a welcoming one. I scanned the crowd and saw Robb with my father on a stand having drinks and conversing. Deciding it was best to head over there. I Stared and my knuckles and rubbed them on my clothes to try and get the stain off. It looked like I had just murdered someone.
" Well lookie here, if it isn't my son. Tell me why are you so bloody? " my father stared with a unsurprised face, " A brawl perhaps, at least it seems like you won and awakened that power in you. " He had a smile on his face before staring at Robb, who left the scene and came back with a plague doctors mask and a dagger that exfoliated strange fumes. My father grabbed them before handing it to me, " This shall allow for you to control that urge, and this dagger. " He raised infront of me allowing me to inspect it. " It's name is the blade of mercy, it is a weapon of us hunters of the old. A trick weapon if I had to say so. Although I did not have to use it much in my lifetime. "
Staring at it, my father placed it in my hand. " Use it well, It shall slay many monsters to come. Especially those ice walkers. Isn't that right Robb. "
Robb looked towards me with what seems to be a icy gaze, " Aye, that damn prick will be after us with the stunt we pulled a while back. Cold bastard he was. Too bad, he had an army with him. I could of killed him. " He spoke with a quiet voice at the end
" Probably amassing one right now. " my father joked , " Now listen here, a man shall meet you in your dreams, follow him, learn from him. Receive his gifts and you shall grow strong. "
Hearing him, I was confused. When the fuck was Bloodborne apart of Game of Thrones, this is going to be troublesome. Gripping tight on the dagger, it shifted into a short sword.
" Seems like you got the hang of it. " Robb spoke, " And don't look so down Rose will get over it. She gets over things quick, especially when it comes to you. "
" Aye, she sure does. Admires him to much, just like that woman. " My father muttered the end.
" Enough of that, let us feast like wild animals tonight and be glad we are still living. "
My father passed me a large jug of beer and poured his own down his throat in seconds, shaking his head. He released a joyous grin, " Father I have other news, the starks have recruited me to train his children. "
My father stared at me with wide eyes before sighing, " Aye, its to be expected. You're a strong fighter, better than any of this generation in hand to hand but when it comes to weapons you decent at most. Train them in hand to hand, and survival techniques and you shall do fine. At least the Starks are a honorable bunch unlike that whoring, alcoholic and food stuffing king. He doesn't even run this kingdom, he goes on hunts and ignores his citizens pleas. A fool of a king if I must say. " my father went on a rant.
" Jakob, you should calm down, we wouldn't want you to lose your head so soon would you. "
" Aye, I wouldn't like that myself Robb, after all I am quite the handsome man. "
" There you are back as normal. "
As they conversed amongst each other, I stared among the crowds thinking of plans for the next day.
