Chapter 21
The Northern army had been marching for days, they had just crossed over in to the Riverlands and were camped in Harrenhal on their way to Riverrun to meet up with the other Starks. Eshan sat with the king as the two relaxed for the first time since the beginning of the war, "well you did it" Robb said as he looked out of the tower window
"I always succeed so it's not a surprise to me"
"I can't wait to finally stop fighting"
"and raise your son with your wife?"
"we don't know yet it could still be a girl"
"yeah but Eddard isn't really a girl's name" the two laughed
"well now that you're a lord you need to find a wife" Robb said getting the conversation off him
"we'll see if any ladies catch my eye but for now I need to focus on building my keep" Eshan deflected the question, "I can see it now beside the sea"
"well I'll visit once it is done"
The army was back on the march as soon as dawn broke, they marched for hours before they made camp just as the sun was going down. Eshan was taking a walk around the camp when he ran in to the Princess and her guards, "Princess" Eshan bowed his head
"you were the one who saved me in the throne room"
"I'd give the giant more credit thanks to him we walked right in to the keep"
"well thank you anyway" Sansa bowed her own head slightly
The two walked through the camp together as they continued to talk, "you must be happy to finally be going home"
"when I was little I only wanted to leave Winterfell and go to the capital but when I finally got there the only thing I wanted was to go back" Sansa looked slightly depressed as she spoke, "nothing good happened in that city"
"well one good thing did happen" Eshan said
"what?" Sansa asked
"I got to see a king get punched in the face that was the funniest thing I had ever seen"
Sansa started to laugh as the two continued to talk until the sun started to disappear behind the horizon. The army marched for the next few days until they reached Riverrun where waiting for the king was the rest of his family, Catelyn cried tears of joy as she embraced her son and daughter and Talisa greeted her husband with her swollen belly.
The army garrisoned at Riverrun for a week before Robb sent his army north without him and with a 300 men acting as a guard he made his way towards the Vale with his family and Eshan as well as his Lannister prisoners.
"I hear you have been given a lordship" Sansa said to Eshan as she rode next to him,
"my family lost their name generations ago and we never bothered to pick it back up so a title doesn't do me much good"
"well a noble house has to have a name"
"well just call me Lord Blackwall" Eshan thought for a bit before settling on the name
"and why Blackwall?" she asked
"for the black walls of Volantis where I grew up" Eshan reminisced about his home, "you should see them, some of the houses inside are never touched by the sun"
"maybe you could take me to see them Volantis sounds much warmed that Winterfell"
"it is"
Tyrion Lannister also travelled with the king in the north, wanting to be with his family to the very end, after they had set up camp about a days march from the Bloody gate he finally decided to visit his family. The imp walked to the pens where he knew they would be and he found them all sharing one that was only just big enough, "come to boast?" his father asked, "we are going to die and you will finally be lord of Casterly rock"
"this is not how I wanted to become lord and you know that"
"it doesn't matter, you're lord now and for better or worse I have to entrust our family legacy to you so just don't let our house die" Tywin was slightly vulnerable in front of Tyrion for the first time ever
"fine I'll make sure our name is never forgotten"
"where are they?" Cersei who had been silent finally spoke up, "are they already dead?"
"Tommen and Myrcella are in my care, they have given up any claim to the throne but I did manage to get them legitimised as Lannisters and I've sent them to Casterly rock, they'll be fine"
"thank you" Cersei said as Tyrion walked away from the pen
As soon as the sun rose they started to march again and by the end of the day they had reached the Eyrie. Robb and his prisoners walked in to the great hall as his aunt and cousin sat above him, "look the funny man is back" Robin said as he jumped out of his mother's arms, "did you bring me a king so I can make him fly?"
"did indeed" Eshan said as the prisoners were dragged forward, "I even brought you three others"
"you managed to defeat the Lannisters but why is the imp not in chains as well?" Lysa asked
"Tyrion is the lord of Casterly rock we couldn't possibly kill him" Eshan said sarcastically
"I WANT TO MAKE THEM FLY" Robin shouted getting impatient
"yes yes sweetrobin" Lysa said as she pulled her son on to her lap, "open the moon door"
"her and this fucking door" Tyrion whispered as the door opened
"do the old man first" Robin ordered as he jumped up excited
"annoying little brat" Tywin said as he was dragged forward, he looked over his shoulder at Tyrion, "remember what I told you"
Tywin was thrown through the door and down to the earth, Robin then excitedly ordered Cersei to be next and she went without argument and she was thrown through the door without saying a word. When Robin ordered Jamie to be next Karstark dragged him towards the door himself, "I would rather cut off your head but I doesn't really matter how it's done" Karstark whispered to him
"your sons where great men just in the wrong places at the wrong time" Jamie whispered back
"well this is for them" Karstark said before he threw the kingsguard through the hole
"now the king now the king" Robin jumped up more excited that ever as the men grabbed Joffrey
"LET GO OF ME I AM YOU KING" he screamed, like he had since they had left Kings landing, "I AM YOUR RIGHTFUL KING YOU CAN'T DO THIS"
They dragged him kicking and screaming towards the door and when they had thrown him out he screams could still be heard as he fell.
