Casterly Rock

Westeros

Year 241 of Aegon's Landing

Tywin was furious, father had once again decided to act more like an idiotic drunk then The Lord Paramount of The West. Father had once again let one of his vassals walk all over him and take a thousand gold dragons from Casterly Rock's treasury. A THOUSAND DRAGONS!! And the vassal didn't not look like he planned on paying it back. It was insulting to have that man in charge of the castle, let alone the westerlands. Kevan didn't get it. All he saw was his father being nice to the men who served him. Father was constantly insulting the family name by having his whores sit next to him during court as if having them there wasn't hurting the family reputation. Tywin left the grand hall in silent fury trying to keep his emotions in check. The servants gave him a wide berth as he marched through the castle trying to outrun his rage.

As he walked passed Kevin's room he stopped, and turned to the doorway of the mysterious strangers chambers. The door was open a crack, showering the hallway in sunlight. Tywin walked into the room and saw the lay the balcony curtains were drawn over, bathing the room in light. As he looked around the room his eyes fell on the sleeping man that occupied the room, his chest rising the only indication that he was alive. Tywin didn't know what brought him to come into this room, but when he did, all of his anger seemed to leave him almost instantly. He then found himself at the side of the bed looking at the strange man in the bed. His mouth was slightly open and drool was dripping onto the covering, his face still very sickly, the measter has said that the man would not live to see the next day, but he has been here for a week, and here he is. After standing there for what seemed like an eternity, Tywin turned and headed for the door when he heard a sound that scared him to his core.

" Help me up."

Tywin looked back with a look of surprise as the stranger pointed to the open balcony. Tywin didn't know what possessed him to help the man, he quickly go to the bed and helped the strange person to his feet. They slowly got the the balcony and looked down they both saw the ocean hundreds of feet below, and the man quickly grabbed the ledge to support himself. Tywin look at the man, " If you stay here for a moment I'll go and get you some water." Tywin let go of the man and went back into the room to fetch the jar of water and a cup and brought If to the man. As he poured him a cup, Tywin looked in interest as the man quickly forsook the cup and drain the whole jar of its contents.

The man gasped for air as his drank the last of the water and Tywin swore he seemed to glow a bit as his skin seemed to suddenly become more tanned and healthy looking. " Ah, that hit the spot, oh you have no idea what it's like to spend so long in a hole in the ground without water, but I need more, you must understand I'm very thirsty." The man the looked down toward the sea and Tywin remained where he was for just a moment. Tywin didn't know why, but this feeling of need came to him like a burst of lightning, he felt that he needed to go and get the man some more water. " Yes, of course, right away sir." Tywin then searched the room for more water. He found two more flagons of water and the mystery man quickly downed the drink, never spilling a drop. The stranger threw the last flagon down and gasped for air as he finished his drink. " That will not do at all, I need more if I'm ever going to do more then stand and talk, which would be quite boring if I do say so myself."

The man then looked over the balcony and down to the sea below. Tywin could see gears turning in the man's eyes as he smiled down toward the sea. " Hello old friend, it's been far too long since I have seen a friendly face." The man then put a foot on the top of of the guard rail and lifted himself up to stand on the rail itself. Tywin at this point was beyond the point of shock and was in the more confused side of thinking? We are hundreds of feet above the sea, surely he can't be thinking- it was at this point that the mysterious man took one foot and made to step off the balcony completely. "Wait! Tywin shouted, something that seemed out of character for him, that was mostly true through these last few minutes. The stranger then looked back to the child with a raised brow, " Yea kid, what is it?" He said with a tone of curiosity.

"What's your name?" Tywin asked.

He then smiled with a toothy grin, " You first."

The boy the frowned at the man, "I am Tywin Lannister."

"Percy Jackson, nice to meet you." He then stepped off the balcony and into the sea hundreds of feet below.
