Sunspear I

277 AC

Dorne

Prince Rhaegar and Hawkeye had become good friends through their travels together. The Prince often found sparring with him and a particular soldier in his retinue. It can be said the Prince had great talent but had never been pushed so far in his life by those that trained him in the Red Keep. Hawkeye had no such problems putting him down often times defeating him in seconds, left bruises on the Prince's body to teach him how to react. This training would go on to make Rhaegar one of the greatswordsmen in the later years.

They approached the doors of Sunspear and were welcomed in the kingsguard Prince Lewyn. There was going to be a feast in honor of the prince and his up coming betrothal tonight and many of Dorne's noble sons and daughters were coming tonight.

Prince Oberynn and Princess Elia greeted the prince and Haekeye personally.

POV Oberynn

Few moments before meeting Rhaegar

' I don't like this Elia. You should be in Dorne not the Red Keep. If you want to break the engagement say the word.'

'You know its too late for that. I thought I could marry Arthur but he's engaged to his sword and oaths. I heard he was being made a Kingsguard soon.'

'That fool. Insecure because he's a second son. He could have the pick of almost any woman in Dorne but he does this instead. I will make him pay for hurting you make no mistake.'

Elia looked conflicted before sighing,

'Leave him be. Just because he didn't propose to me does not mean I hate him. He's still a good friend and also Dorne's sharpest spear.'

'Not for long.'

That was when we met up with the Prince and Hawkeye. Rhaegar looked everybit a Targaryan. Tall, light skin , silver hair, purple eyes and an ethereal beauty. I won't mind having a go at him. I'll broach the subject later. The man beside him was even taller much so. At that height he is expected to be bulky but he's lean and strong if those muscles give an indication. What stood out were his eyes. Never seen anything like it. Pure gold pupils with two outer circles surrounding it. Almost looks like a hawk. Ahhh this must be the man I heard about so much in the Free cities, Ser Mihawk Mormont. I heard he's every much the warrior that Dayne is. Lets see if we can spar on the morrow.

'Welcome to Sunspear my prince I hope you have been comfortable in your stay so far.' said Elia ever the diplomat makes one forget her talent in observation haki. Her variant of it makes one read the thoughts of others.

'I have been well cared for my princess and how have you been Oberynn?'

' As well as I can be. If you even think you are worthy of wedding Elia you have-'

'I assure you Rhaegar can never be wothy of the beauty in front of us. My lady.' remarked Mihawk as he lowered his head to kiss the back of her hand. Is he trying to charm her? Infront of her brethothed I like him already.

We continued making small talk as we went to the feast. Elia and Rhaegar seem to be getting along while Mormont kept asking me questions about poisons and how to build an immunity to it.

Eventually we separated from them and started a conversation about combat and I have to say his theory about haki and how it correlates to willpower is refreshing. I have to put it to the test soon. Maybe against him. He even revealed to me something no one has heard about : this fucker has a devil fruit and according to him its one that if he concentrates for a long time can level an entire city. Calls it the gravity fruit. House Martell currently has two uneaten devil druits: The sand sand fruit and the Zoan Python fruit. I have been putting off eating the sand fruit cause of its weakness to water it seems after this it will be necessary to protect Dorne.

I feel exhausted.

This feast has been going on for hours. Hours of talking to lordings we are only interested in me for my beauty or to get closer to Arthur. I swear most of them are in love with him cause thats all they talk about.

I excuse myself to the balcony to clear my head thats where I meet that man. Ser Mihawk someone that everyone believes can go blow for blow with Arthur. It seems he left earlier too. There is also a bird on his shoulder, odd thing.

'My lady. You've come to rest here? I can leave the space for you of you want.'

'I'm fine. I came out for a breath of air.'

'I understand. Dealing with young lords can be a problem.'

'Aren't you a young lord yourself?'

'I never said I wasn't a hypocrite.'

That got me laughing as he shrugged. We continued bantering for a while while I got a good look at him. Tall, dark, funny and he seems kind. I can't wait to tell Elia all about it.

'All my life people have told me my eyes are different but yours is a whole another level.'

'I know… haunting yellow eyes I've been told. But I can say the same for you. I don't want to look away really.'

Ahhh Elia and I aren't sleeping tonight.
