Game of Creeds
Prologue
Four men stood around a table light only by a few candles in a dark room each wearing a hood over their heads and a shawl that covered all of their face but the eyes, each nodded their heads respectfully to each other before taking a seat and placing down their sigils of their houses; each pushed their sigils to the center of the table that was covered with a Direwolf, a Golden Lotus, a Bear raised on two feet, and a sun with a spear through it. All sat in silence before the man who bared the direwolf spoke up.
"The mad king is dead, murdered by one of his king's guard." The man who bared the bear laughed at the words.
"Ha, the mad bastard was killed by the very men who had sworn to protect him, who was it, James something?"
"Jaime Lannister, the supposed captain of the kingsguard." The man who bared the sun and spear sigil spoke up in a heavy Dornish accent.
"Yes, Sir Jaime Lannister, when we stormed the castle we found only him standing over his dead body, he will bear great shame for what he's done." The first man replied.
"Perhaps, but it proves that the Lannister's may have a connection to the enemy." The second said.
"How so?" The Third asked.
"The Templars will do anything to gain control, if Jaime is truly loyal to his father than maybe they're the missing piece of the puzzle, perhaps Tywin is the master Templar.
"Perhaps, but my scouts haven't said a word on their involvement with the Templars during the revolution, we can't just be willing to kill anyone and everyone on a whim."
The fourth man, the man who bore the Golden Lotus, didn't say a word during the talks and the three others took notice and turned to him.
"What do you think?" The first asked.
"I don't know, there was a lot of Templar activity back home but they just suddenly stopped, and any trace of their existence was gone right when the Lannister woman married the new king." He said tapping his finger on the table.
"Curious, but is it enough?" The third asked. The four remained silent until the first turned to the third and spoke.
"You said you had Templar activity in Dorne, what reports has your scouts gathered?" He asked.
"The Templars presence is known, but they haven't done anything to get our attention, or even attract anyone's attention making it difficult to find them, but if they are planning something, they might be trying to start a war between the two nations." The second took a moment to think before shaking his head and speaking.
"If they are trying to start a war it won't be now, the king there isn't fond of war and our nation hasn't had time to recover from the uprising, for now I would focus on finding the Templar connections throughout Westeros before we do anything." The four nodded in agreement before all gathering up their sigils and getting up from their chairs and leaving the room, as they stepped to the door all stepped on the decorated tiles of the sigil of the Ancient Order that binds the houses together.
Hiya, I'm bored so I'm writing an interesting story, I'm just gonna add Eddard Stark to the character list for now because I'm not sure who's going to know about the secret war effort, will add more as I go along. Feel free to comment to improve my writing. Thanks.
