Red Dawn

by Aryn Hoffswet

The world braces as an army sworn to the Lord of Light threatens Westeros and the world. Romances rise and fall, and unlikely alliances surface. Chapters are moments in time, and written from multiple points of view. Starts just before Dany's marriage to Khal Drogo, and the events in ASoIaF.

1. Marisel I

" We will set our armies on the kingdoms of this world, and turn The Free City into the greatest sacrifice the Lord of Light has ever known!"

The crowd roared, and Marisel, a red priest of the Lord of Fire smiled. Murilagoa had always been good with words. They use to be his greatest weapon, until he took up sorcery as a red priest.

Now he has a full military force, the hammer and the sword of the Red Lord, a corps of loyal lieutenants, including her. The others were cold, calculating people. They had won favor through murders, and other atrocities that she could never commit, or even begin speak about.

"She had been a friend of his since a very young age. They were both rats, children of the dark places, and she wondered if that was why they both dedicated their lives to the Bane of Darkness. At least that is what Murilagoa lived for. She fell in love with him the day they met in the alleys of this city, and followed him everywhere he went, hoping in vain that he would realize her as more than a lieutenant, more than a friend. She had become a red priest, and manipulated many nobles to dedicate all assets into preparing the Red Army, all in an attempt to gain his hand.

Now, he was arguably one of the most influential men east of the Narrow Sea, and had set his sights on the title Murilagoa, King of Pentos.
