Narcisus & Echo

Jaime Lannister is Narcisus. Proud of his unmatched beauty, the most handsome Knight in all the History of the Seven Kingdoms. Selfish, arrogant, trusted in his own sword, healthy and beauty. Even loving himself through Cersei, his twin sister cos she she is the only one sharing his "Golden beauty" of Lannister Lion.

The nymph Echo, a woman without voice own. Like Brienne being Knight in a world of "perfect women" and "perfect knights" like Margerys, like Loras in which she does not have a place, for that she is like Echó in the myth hidded inside her armor. Pretending that she is a man fighting. Brienne like Echó lives in the silent. In the forests. Or in courts of Kings Who despise her. Tíl a day....Narcisus just loses his beauty....
