WIP game fantasy Au?
I started this at some point last year when I was still working on my big wip, so when I couldn't decide where I wanted the second half of this fic to go it was kinda pushed back and abandoned. But I really liked the beginning, so maybe I'll go back to it. The basic premise is that Jon is a witch who is hunted by the Eye, and he summons an entity of the Forsaken in the hope it can hide him from the Eye - and that's Martin of course :D Here's a snippet:
Finally, amidst the ancient trees and thick overgrowth, a small cobblestone cottage comes into view. Jon nearly lets out a sob of relief, but he doesn’t have the strength for it. Instead, he uses his last breath to whisper a spell, letting it carry in the wind towards the wooden front door that springs open as soon as the spell touches it. Without slowing Jon barrells through, whirls around, and slams the door shut behind it. Breathing hard and head spinning, he stares at the thin layer of wood separating him from his pursuers.
Symbols are etched into it, carefully crafted a lifetime ago, after the Eye first began its hunt on the witches of these lands. They’ve been there so long that Jon doesn’t remember the door without its markings. Now, as soon as the door slams shut, the intricate patterns glow in bright purple, a quick pulse of light and magic. When the light dims, just seconds later, the gaze of the thousand eyes goes with it. The prickling sensation at the back of his neck stops, and Jon finally allows himself a sob of relief as he sinks to the floor, his back to the door and all the horrors that lie behind it. His grandmother’s protection spell is, for the moment, still enough to keep them out.
