Hey, I'm back.
It's time for the 36th chapter of Game of Thrones and the Heroes of Old.
I already got 8 reviews from last chapter. Honestly, it makes me happy that so many people were instantly ready to read after three years. I don't think Season 7 was out then.
To answer some questions.
No, I don't abandon stories just because I haven't posted a chapter in a while... or a year... or three.
Yes, I intend to add the book characters from A Song of Ice and Fire. So I won't exclude story important characters like Arianne Martell or Val. The same goes for lesser characters from the other series.
Yes, I'll try to make Daenerys not steer towards her disastrous end in the TV series. She'll find no flattery with Starkiller.
Yes, Boba is more talkative than usual. But to be fair, Boba's not usually in the company of employers like Tyrion. People like Jabba and Darth Vader are usually only interested in Boba's talent. Tyrion, however, seeks out friends in business so to stand better against his enemies. And Tyrion is a talkative fellow who enjoys talking to people even if said person is not interested in talking.
And so no one forgets who's in which group, here's a guide.
Baratheon Meeting Group: Eddard Stark, Han Solo, Lando Calrissian, Chewbacca, Ron Weasley, Ginny Weasley, Neville Longbottom, Susan Pevensie, Caspian X, Frodo Baggins, Samwise Gamgee, Gimli, Legolas, Jack Sparrow.
Riverrun Group: Aragorn Elessar, Gandalf, Boromir, Leia Organa, Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, Peter Pevensie, Will Turner, Elizabeth Swann.
Winterfell Escort Group: Luke Skywalker, R2-D2, Meriadoc Brandybuck, Peregrin Took, Luna Lovegood, Lucy Pevensie, Barbossa.
Ewok Watch Group: Edmund, C-3PO.
So now you know.
Now, on to the story.
.
Tyrion stared at the dead Gold Cloak as Grand Maester Pycelle looked over him. They, Littlefinger, Varys, Boba, Bronn, Girorn, and Lancel stood around as they looked at the corpse.
"Well?" asked Tyrion
"I-it is hard to understand what killed him, my Lord" muttered Pycelle.
"I say something crushed his throat is all" said Bronn.
Crushed, was a generous term. The Gold Cloak's neck was mostly squeezed to the point of resembling a flower's stem. The neck itself was barely hanging on to the body by just a slash of skin.
Sometime after Boba's device went off, several Gold Cloak's came in to report an attack at Flea Bottom. According to reports, several people came and just started destroying everything around them. They stole whatever looked valuable and killed any Gold Cloaks that got in there way. By the time the Trandoshan scouts came around, they were gone. Seven Gold Cloaks were dead, two more were dying, and fifteen were injured. Among the dead was a Gold Cloak who's neck was crushed in a strange fashion.
"Do you think Stannis sent a surprise attack?" asked Lancel.
"No" said Varys "For what purpose would Stannis send men to simply attack the Smallfolk in Flea Bottom?"
"Th-then perhaps the Brotherhood?" asked Pycelle.
"What would Beric gain from attacking the lowest part of King's Landing?" asked Tyrion.
"I-I would not know, m-my Lord" answered Pycelle.
As they were talking, Boba walked over and moved his hands over to the man's neck.
"Boba?" asked Tyrion.
"Nothing crushed this man's neck" said Boba "He was strangled. With one hand"
"Nonsense" said Littlefinger "No one could do that with bare hands. Let alone just one hand"
"He's right" said Bronn "Not even those Cleganes fuckers could do that"
"Do you think I would point out something if it was impossible?" said Boba as he inspected the neck "It's true that a human doing this is very unlikely, but could you say the same for Girorn and his kind?"
Tyrion looked over to Girorn as he looked over the Trandoshan. True, all the Trandoshans were indeed more well built than most humans. In terms of strength, Tyrion was positive only the Cleganes could match their strength,
"No" said Tyrion "I know very little about the Trandoshans. Or any other creatures out there"
"It could possibly be some other creature then" said Varys "According to you and Boba Fett, one of Lord Stark's rescuers was this creature you called a Wookiee. And there have been rumors about little creatures seen in the camps of Robb Stark's army"
"Ar-are you saying that there could be more monsters in King's Landing?!" asked Pycelle.
Girorn stiffened at that remark "And what other monsters are there in King's Landing?" asked Girorn dangerously as he stood over Pycelle. Pycelle shook a bit as he stammered and Tyrion was sure the Maester would piss himself if this kept up.
"Let's put that behind us" said Tyrion "Right now if there are more creatures running around King's Landing, I would like to know where they stand. If they are with Ned or Robb Stark, they must be ousted out of the city"
"And what if they were just lost?" asked Bronn "Girorn's lot were stranded and alone when we found them"
"We'll have to tread carefully then" said Tyrion "If nothing else, then let us be off"
"On-one more thing my Lord" said Pycelle "What should we tell the King and Queen Regent?"
Tyrion just shook his head. Joffrey was too busy shooting rabbits with his new crossbow and Cersei wouldn't be bothered with the deaths of lowly Gold Cloaks. "Tell them whatever you think is best. But I keep it to ourselves till then. Cersei would most likely order the streets burnt to the ground to prevent whatever's out there from coming into the Red Keep. Dismiss"
Soon everyone left the room one by one as only Tyrion and his lot were left.
"Do you think it's more creatures then?" Bronn asked Boba.
"Most likely" said Boba "My device went off minutes before the Gold Cloaks told us what was happening. Besides" Boba looked at the dead man "Nothing human could do that"
Tyrion turned to Girorn "Are the Trandoshans capable of such a feat?"
Girorn shook his head "No. We are a strong race. But even we cannot crush a neck in such a way"
"What about that other thing?" asked Bronn "The Wook?"
"Wookiee" corrected Boba "And I doubt a Wookiee could do this. I've seen them rip arms out of sockets and bend pure metal. But nothing like this"
"What other creatures are out there?" asked Tyrion.
"Nothing really strikes out ahead of Wookiees and Trandoshans in terms of strength" said Boba "Though there are races out there stronger than them"
"Hold on" said Bronn "Your not thinking of adding whatever's out there to our little club are ya?"
"If there friendly enough" said Tyrion.
Boba looked at the dead man once more "I doubt that"
Tyrion nodded as he straightened himself "Gentlemen, right now we are friendless. The North and the Riverlands are up against my father on the field. The Baratheons and the Tyrells march towards us as we speak. The Greyjoys, the Arryns, and the Martells are neutral, yet they are no friends to House Lannister and will not join up with a losing House. House Lannister can only hire Sellswords to their cause, and I don't find comfort in the company of Vargo Hoat's lot. We need allies. And what better allies than the strangers from far, far away" Tyrion turned to Boba and Girorn "A legendary man with weapons, skills and knowledge surpassing any in this land. And a group of noble warriors stronger than any man. How such people came to Westeros is beyond even my mind, but such men might be the reason the people of this city live to see another day"
"...You have to admit" said Bronn as he turned to Boba and Girorn "The Imp's good with words"
"A smart man would have to be" said Boba "But all that smart talk means shit if these people aren't friendly"
"No" said Tyrion "But it doesn't hurt to be optimistic"
"Being a realist doesn't kill you either" said Boba "And optimisim often leads to getting killed"
Before Tyrion could counter, one of Girorn's scouts entered the room.
"Chief Girorn. Lord Tyrion" hissed the Trandoshan "We have received a message from the attackers"
"Good" said Tyrion as he walked over to the scout "Please show me it"
Instead of handing over what Tyrion thought was to be a letter, the scout pulled out a Holo-Communicator and a little holographic man appeared. Tyrion and Bronn stood back at this little trick but have learned to adjust to such feats from Boba and Girorn's lot.
The man on the Holo was of average height, dressed in fancy clothing with a blaster at his hip. He had long black hair with white streaks, a horseshoe mustache covering his face.
"This is Talon Karrde of the newly formed Smuggler's Alliance" said the man on the Holo "I apologies for the attack on your city. That action was the results of new recruits trying to cause trouble on a seemingly primitive establishment. They have been punished. I would personally come to apologize for this transgression, but circumstances keep me from visiting. My men and I shall be leaving shortly. Farewell"
The Holo ended.
"...Well this is unexpected" said Tyrion.
"Smuggler's Alliance?" said Bronn with a hint of amusement "Smugglers get their own groups now eh?"
"Well the man isn't a dangerous mad man" said Tyrion as he turned to Boba "Have you heard of this Karrde or his Alliance?"
"I've heard of Talon Karrde" said Boba "He was just some two-bit smuggler at first, but he started rising up in the underworld through the years. Jabba's been talking about recruiting him into his fold before his death. As for this Smuggler's Alliance. No, I haven't heard anything. They must be new"
"We too have heard of Talon Karrde" said Girorn "He was a lieutenant for Jorj Car'das, leader of a smuggling organization until Jorj's disappearance. Karrde took over afterwards"
"And now he must be rising up after Jabba's death" said Boba.
"I assume Jabba had big shoes to fill" said Tyrion.
"Hutt's don't wear shoes" said Girorn "They don't even have legs"
"A figure of speech" corrected Boba "And you aren't the head of the Hutt Cartel by not having great power"
"Would this Karrde being willing to work with us?" asked Tyrion.
"Hard to say" said Boba "From what I heard, Karrde wasn't dedicated to either the Empire or the Rebellion. I don't see why he wouldn't support us and our enemies"
"I don't think Joffrey would approve" said Tyrion.
"It's just common knowledge" said Boba "Smugglers don't pick sides because of rights and laws. They act on the coin"
"And Lannisters have enough of that" said Bronn.
"So do you Starks with their new bank" said Tyrion.
"Then you'll just have to hope this Karrde isn't dedicated to money" said Bronn.
"I really don't have too much experience with smugglers" said Tyrion "I do remember something though. During Robert's Rebellion, Mace Tyrell led a siege against Storm's End. He planned to have Stannis and the city starve, but a smuggler name Davos Seaworth snuck in and supplied the whole place with food. Stannis had the man raised to a lord, but cut off the tips of his right hand's fingers"
"Weird conditions for a promotion" said Boba.
"Stannis was always a hard man" said Tyrion "He never liked me. Hell, I don't think Robert even liked him"
"Maybe that explains why his other brother's fighting him" said Bronn.
"No" said Tyrion "I think Renly's just drunk on the prospect of being a King"
"Well while Renly's enjoying his crown" said Bronn "Half this city is starving"
"We'll need to eliminate Renly soon" said Girorn.
"Which means we'll need men" said Tyrion.
"And you want Karrde and his Alliance" stated Boba.
Tyrion nodded before turning to Girorn "Can you send Karrde a message"
Girorn nodded and held up his Holo-Communicator "Speak"
Tyrion widen his eyes at the sudden request but quickly composed himself "Talon Karrde. I am Tyrion Lannister of House Lannister, Hand of the King to King Joffrey of King's Landing. I would like to request a meeting between my group and yours. I feel like I can guess your circumstances and would be willing to help. As for what your men did, I am willing to work that out with you; to your face. But don't worry. Me and my men won't harm you. Let us be civilize. If you are willing to talk, send a reply and I'll have my men and yours work out a meeting spot. Until then"
.
Robb Stark and Theon Greyjoy walked through the camp as men all around were working.
"When do you think Sao Feng will arrive at the Iron Islands?" asked Robb.
"Soon hopefully" said Theon "Let's just hope him or my father doesn't do anything stupid"
Robb nodded as he eyed his soldiers. Many were a mix of men from the North and the Riverrun soldiers, but among the jumble of men were the goblins of Gringotts. They didn't participate in any battles, but they funded the gold for Robb's men and even worked as Blacksmiths. As per agreed, several goblins attended Robb's meetings, usually the goblins Griphook or Bogrod. The goblins themselves were actually pretty lax at being sent to another world. Must of been because they were magical creatures themselves.
Robb and Theon kept walking in silence until they found Robb's tent. Inside, they found Orion reading a message with a white owl perched on his shoulder.
"What's that?" asked Theon.
"A message" said Orion as he handed the letter to Robb "From Ned"
"Father?" said Robb before reading the letter.
"What does it say?" Theon asked Orion.
"Apparently after his escape, he and his saviors encountered a large group of creatures called Ewoks. They recruited the Ewoks to their cause, but had to travel slowly because of the size of the group. Now they're apparently splitting up"
"Splitting up?" asked Theon.
"Lord Stark decided that Stannis and Renly were priority one, so he and a majority of the warriors are going to intercept them before they fight each other"
"Lady Catelyn will be happy" said Theon "She's already there"
"True. But I doubt Robb is" said Orion.
Theon and Orion looked over and saw Robb's sad face. He apparently stopped reading after reading his father's plan to postpone their reunion.
"Keep reading" said Orion "There is some good news"
Robb looked at Orion before reading again. After several seconds his eyes widen "Arya. She's with father"
"What?" asked Theon.
"Apparently, a man of the Night's Watch named Yoren found her during Lord Stark's escape. He took her with him out of the city to take her to Winterfell. And Lord Stark found them"
Theon smiled "Little Arya. She was always too wild to stay contained"
"Good thing. So while Lord Stark takes his group to the Baratheons, another group will come to Riverrun to meet up with us. Arya will be with that group. And as for the rest of the warriors, they will keep moving with Yoren's group while two of them stay with the Ewoks until we can send escorts to bring them to safe land"
Robb finished reading the letter as he handed it to Theon "So now only Sansa remains in danger"
"Sadly" said Orion.
"Could you use your powers to get her out of King's Landing" asked Robb.
"Normally" said Orion "But ever since I discovered the tears in the realm between worlds, I've decided to greatly limit my powers"
"Could you make an exception?" asked Robb.
"Entire buildings and armies are already appearing out of thin air" said Orion "I won't risk anything greater than that. I'm sorry"
"...Then we'll just have to think of something else" said Robb.
"Why not sneak into the city?" asked Theon as he handed the letter back to Orion.
"That would of been a decent option" said Orion "But ever since Tyrion Lannister and Boba Fett arrived in King's Landing, I'm sure the defenses have increased"
"Is this Boba Fett really that dangerous?" asked Robb.
"If I had to choose between an armed Jaime Lannister and a disarmed Boba Fett" said Orion "I choose a heavily armed Kingslayer. Boba Fett was raised to be one of the greatest. Not just in body and weapon, but in mind and instincts. He's been accomplishing feats ever since he was ten"
"That's the same age as Bran" stated Robb.
"A lot of kids grow up fast on the front lines" said Orion "And Boba Fett grew up to be the most successful bounty hunter of his time"
"You're right" said Robb "I remembered the reports from the men that returned from our ploy against Tywin. They said Boba Fett burned many of them alive and shot down half as many"
"We can worry about Sansa and King's Landing later" said Theon "We gotta head to Riverrun and meet up with these warriors. I'm eager to see what kind of people they are"
"Agreed" said Robb "I'll leave Rickard Karstark in charge of our attack on the Westerlands while we return to Riverrun. The Greatjon should be back from his attack on Stone Hedge. We should send letters to him and Uncle Edmure of what's happening"
"I assume the Kingslayer's coming with us?" said Theon.
"Of course" said Robb. Ever since capturing Jaime, Robb has had him kept among Robb's main force. The reason Robb never left him at a castle or anything like that was because Robb didn't want the lords of said castle receiving letters from Tywin either offering them riches or offering them doom like House Reyne.
Before more could be said, an armed guard came in.
"Lord Stark" said the guard "We just apprehended someone sneaking into our camp"
"A Lannister spy?" asked Robb. Orion did warn him Tywin or one of the Lannisters would hire someone to sneak into camp and free Jaime.
"No my Lord" said the guard "Just a thief trying to steal food"
"Bring him here" said Robb.
The guard nodded and exited the tent. The three waited several minutes before the guard returned with the thief.
"By Aslan's Mane!" stated Orion.
"You know him?" asked Theon.
"I know what he is" said Orion "He's a Hobbit"
The little man was indeed a Hobbit. He was a messy dark haired man with a rotund body. His face was covered in sweat and he smelled.
"Please mercy!" stuttered the Hobbit "I mean no harm"
"Peace Hobbit" said Orion "I am friends with Hobbits"
"Truly" said the Hobbit as he calmed down "Oh what families?"
"The families Gamgee, Took, Brandybuck, and Baggins"
The Hobbit let the four names sink into his head before widening his eyes "Are you friends with Mister Frodo?"
"...I am"
The Hobbit sighed then chuckled "Oh bless you"
Robb and Theon exchanged looks before Robb walked over. He nodded to the guard to go away before turning to the Hobbit.
"I would like to have your name" said Robb.
"Oh a yes, where are my manners" said the Hobbit "My name is Fredegar Bolger. Though everyone calls me Fatty"
Theon broke out into quick laughter at the absurd name. Robb and Orion ignored him as Orion pressed on.
"Tell me... Bolger. How did a Hobbit from the Shire ended up in Westeros?" asked Orion.
"Well it all started when Mister Frodo and Sam were leaving the Shire. Doing something important they were, otherwise Merry and Pip wouldn't have gone with them. I wanted to go with them, but I... I was too scared. Especially with those riders around. Then one misty night a month or so since those four left, Rosie Cotton and her brother Tom Jr. came by and asked where Mister Frodo and Sam were. You see since I didn't go with them, I was to make sure that it looked like Mister Frodo was still in the Shire. But it was getting hard to pass that little lie off. And as I was talking to the Cotton siblings, those Black Riders returned and chased us down. But as they were chasing us, we all got lost in the mist. I kept running and running until I finally escaped the mist and found myself lost in a stretch of woods I weren't familiar with. I've been traveling around trying to find my way back to the Shire when I came across this camp. And I was hungry... so-"
"It's alright" said Robb "I wouldn't punish a starving man after everything you've been through"
"Lord Stark here is the leader of this army" said Orion "Be grateful the Lord Stark is merciful and kind"
"Ya- thank you" was all Fatty said before nodding his head "Yo-you'll keep me safe from those Black Riders? Right?"
"You'll be under the guest right of our camp" said Robb "No harm will come to you"
"Though this does prove my suspicions" said Orion.
"What suspicions?" asked Theon.
"Those random murders we've been seeing" said Orion "They were too off to be Gregor Clegane's lot. But if the Nazgul are here, that would explain it"
"What are the Nazgul?" asked Robb.
"Former Kings twisted by dark magic. They are slaves to their Dark Lord Sauron. They are nine in total"
"Nine won't be hard to deal with" said Theon.
"One Nazgul alone is dangerous" said Orion "All nine would be too much. Plus our armies won't be able to find them"
"Couldn't we send out hunting parties?" asked Theon.
"It just be sending men to early graves" said Orion.
"What will these Nazgul do?" asked Robb.
"They'll most likely seek out Frodo" said Orion.
"Why?" asked Theon.
"Frodo carries a powerful item" said Orion "An item the Nine seek for there master"
"Will he be safe?!" asked Fatty.
"Frodo is in the company of skilled warriors" said Orion "No harm will come to him so long as he stays among them"
"I still don't like the idea of nine murderers out there bleeding the land" said Robb.
"If we could stop murderers that easily, then Gregor Clegane would be dead" said Orion. "Best just to wait for them to come to us"
"Aye" said Theon.
"...Alright" said Robb.
"Now Fatty" said Orion as Theon snickered "You said two other Hobbits came with you"
"Yes" said Fatty.
"Where are they?" asked Orion.
"I don't know" said Fatty Bolger "We all ran when we saw those Black Riders. I was too busy running to look"
"Then two Hobbits are still out there" said Orion "We should tell Lord Karstark to keep an eye out for them while we head to Riverrun"
Robb and Theon nodded.
"As for Mister Bolger" said Orion "I think we should take him with us to Riverrun. He can rest there till we sort things out"
"T-thank you" stuttered Fatty.
.
Daenerys couldn't help but smile.
Everywhere the crowds cheered as the Weasley twins stood on their broomsticks and flicked their wands around. Little balls of fire they called 'fireworks' flew over the heads of the laughing crowd.
It had been four days since Xaro Xhoan Daxos allowed Daenerys and her Khalasar into Qarth. For the past four days Daenerys has been enjoying the little parties he's thrown in Daenerys's honor. The entire times ladies have conversed with her and men bowed before her. Even one of the Warlocks of the House of the Undying, Pyat Pree, entertained her with his magic. And after seeing Pyat's little display, Fred and George have shown off their magic. It scared people at first, but once the shock passed over, everyone was entertained. Daenerys was keeping her distant from the twins at first since her first encounter with magical beings. But after knowing the twins, Daenerys saw that they were just humorous people.
Daenerys kept smiling as she walked through and out of the crowd as she collected her thoughts.
During her stay, Xaro Xhoan Daxos showed her his Valyrian Stone Vault and offered her marriage in exchange for funding her war, while also revealing Robert Baratheon was dead, his brothers fought each other, the Starks and Lannisters were fighting, and Westeros knew nothing of her current status. She tried to press Jorah to help her fasten her descent to Westeros, but advised her to take things slowly. Jorah himself was currently looking for a ship, leaving Daenerys in the company of her host and her Khalasar.
Daenerys came out of her thoughts until she stopped infront of Starkiller.
The man known as Galen Marek was kneeling as his eyes remained closed, the faintest breathe barely leaving his lips. He's been there ever since arriving in Qarth
This man was what Daenerys has been thinking about for the last seven days. The man was intriguing, from how he killed several armed guards to his red light sword. But while his powers were outstanding, the man himself was solemn.
"How are you not starving?" asked Daenerys "The servants say you haven't even moved since we came here"
"One does not need food or water when you can rely on the Force" said Starkiller, not even opening his eyes.
"How does one learn the Force?" asked Daenerys, remembering how Starkiller said that the Force was a separate thing from magic.
"The Force isn't something you learn. It is merely something one must be gifted with"
"..." Daenerys looked at Starkiller until she tried a different approach. She stepped over to him and knelled to his side.
"What are you doing?"
"Trying to understand the Force" said Daenerys.
"You don't learn the Force by just getting on your knees"
"That is what you are doing" said Daenerys.
"I am meditating" said Starkiller "I am clearing my thoughts. Focusing on nothing but the Force"
This just frustrated Daenerys more "How does one focus on something you can't feel?"
"Can you explain your unique connection to your dragons?"
"...No"
"Then I can't explain the Force to you"
"..."
"What do you want?" asked Starkiller.
"...When I'm not being treated by our host or attending these little parties, I've been thinking of my plans. Do you know of my family?"
"Can't say I have"
Daenerys really was confused of how someone didn't even know one of the most famous houses in the world "I am the last member of House Targaryen. We were once the monarchs of Westeros. For hundreds of years, a Targaryen has been sitting on the Iron Throne. But then the Usurper Robert Baratheon and his dogs killed my family and ousted me and my brother across the sea. For over a decade, we've been living off others. I was abused by my brother. I was his outlet for his anger. His pawn. That was made clear when he sold he to Khal Drogo to be his wife"
Starkiller didn't react.
"...But as I traveled with my new husband, I learned to love him. I grew stronger and wiser. I found people who would follow me. Life was good. But then my husband died, our child died, and the people you see with us were abandoned by the husband's Khalasar. As I burned my husbands body with the dragon eggs I received on our wedding day, I stepped into the fire and emerged with three dragons"
"Well haven't you had an interesting life" said Starkiller.
Daenerys turned her head to Starkiller "What about you? How did you become what you are?"
"...When I was a boy, my father was hunted by a man named Darth Vader. My father was a Jedi, a group of Force Wielders strong in the Force. There dark counterparts, the Sith, ousted them from their place in the universe. Any Jedi not dead then were to be killed by Darth Vader. When he found my father, he cut through the people defending him and cut him down in front of me. When he saw me, he saw how strong I was in the Force and took me in as his secret apprentice. For years he'd train me in the ways of the Force. For years he told me we would rise up in the Universe and overthrow his master, and we would rule the Galaxy together. So I killed his enemies. I did his bidding. I even gathered an army for him. But he cut me down, destroyed all I worked to accomplish. I was merely a pawn in his and his master's game"
Daenerys stared at Starkiller as he calmly told his story. His story of betrayal was sad, but the fact he was able to still stand impressed her.
"Is your former master still alive?" she asked.
"I don't know" said Starkiller "I'm pretty sure I died the last time I saw him"
"What?"
Starkiller opened his eyes as his met Daenerys "After that, I met the twins in your desert. We were three lost souls. Then we met your man. And you know the rest"
"I'm sorry" said Daenerys.
"Don't be" Starkiller rose off his feet "I'm not"
Starkiller then walked away from her.
"I do intend to go back!" shouted Daenerys "To Westeros! What will you do?!"
"...Whatever the Force lets me do" and Starkiller continued on his way"
Daenerys watched as Starkiller walked away, almost not hearing Fred and George walking behind her away from the crowd.
"Man" said Fred "Muggles sure are easy to please"
Daenerys turned around "Muggles?"
"Oh, it's our world for non-magic folks" said George.
"Hey where's Starkiller?" asked Fred.
"...He went for a walk" said Daenerys.
.
Starkiller continued walking, not stopping even when he left Xaro Xhoan Daxos' manor.
He ignored the things the people around him were saying. They talked about how a man broke the necks of Qarth's elite guards and pointed a sword of fire against the Thirteen. It didn't matter to Starkiller. Starkiller lived in the shadows. The whispers of the common people was of little importance.
Starkiller kept walking until he found an alley to walk into. It was a long ally and her cramped, but Starkiller kept walking.
"So that is your plan?"
Starkiller stopped walking.
"Yes. The House of Undying have sensed her coming for weeks"
Starkiller kept quiet as he walked towards the voices. He stopped when he came to a corner. He peered over and saw two people were talking. One was a tall man wearing a long robe. The other was a small, yet muscular man clad in armor, a white beard sprouting off his face.
"We do not need the girl. Let us kill her and just take her dragons" said short man.
"No" said the cloaked man "The dragons rely on her. She must stay with them"
"Fine. Your ally better make sure he keeps his end of the bargain"
"He will. Gormr Doursmith. He will"
The man, Gormr Doursmith, nodded and then turned away.
The cloak man stayed alone.
STRIKE!
The man gasped as Starkiller's lightsaber pierced out his chest.
"Your not doing anything"
The man stayed silent until he laughed.
Suddenly, the man's body was gone, his clothes falling to the ground.
"What is this?" Starkiller asked himself.
!
Starkiller suddenly felt a disturbance.
Back at Xaro Xhoan Daxos' manor.
Using Force-Speed, Starkiller was moving fast. In a minute he was back at the manor and found everything in chaos.
The establishment's armed guards and Daenerys's Dothraki warriors were clashing against short men wielding axes and hammers. Many dead bodies laid the ground, including the servants and the guests.
At once Starkiller pulled out both his Lightsabers and started cutting down these intruders. One slash. Two slash. One by one these intruders were cut down.
"STUPEFY!"
Two of the intruders were suddenly shot and fell to the ground there entire bodies stunned. Starkiller turned and saw Fred and George standing in the middle of the yard firing spells left and right.
"CONFRINGO!" shouted George as he fire a spell out his wand towards three intruders, all three blowing up.
Starkiller skid towards the twins. "Where is Daenerys?!"
"Don't know!" shouted Fred.
"Her maids took her away!" shouted George.
Starkiller nodded before turning to a charging group of intruders. He threw one of his Lightsabers into the back of a stray intruder and used his free hand to shoot Force Lightning out his finger tips. All of the guards fell to the crowd dead. He then used the Force to call back his Lightsaber. Starkiller then left the twins and continued forwards against the onslaught. The Dothraki and the Guards were good, but these intruders were powerful despite their size.
As Starkiller kept cutting his way through the intruders, he glimpsed Daenerys shielded by her Bloodriders Rakharo, Jhogo, and Aggo. Standing besides her were her maids Irri, Doreah, and Jhiqui, alongside Xaro Xhoan Daxos. Starkiller quickly jolted towards them and cut down the enemies attacking the Dothraki.
"Are you okay?" asked Starkiller.
Daenerys nodded as her maids stayed close.
"Take care of her" Starkiller told the three Bloodriders, who nodded.
Starkiller then turned and attacked the intruders. For five minutes the intruders kept pounding themselves against Starkiller but none barely lasted a second. When there numbers were reduced 10 to 1, some of them started to retreat. But Starkiller wouldn't let them. He used the Force to slam the doors shut and topple the pillars in front of the fleeing intruders. It only took Starkiller and the Dothraki half a minute to finish the rest of them off.
When it was all over, Starkiller looked around. There were several dead guards and Dothraki, but it was the intruders bodies that littered the ground.
Fred and George walked over to Starkiller.
"What happened?" Starkiller asked the twins.
"I don't know" said Fred "We were just talking to Dany when all of a sudden these Dwarves came out of nowhere and started cutting down people. There were hundreds of them"
"We tried to take them down, but there were too many" said George "We probably be dead if you hadn't shown up"
"Thank me later" said Starkiller before he walked over to Daenerys.
"Where's Jorah?" asked Starkiller.
"I sent him to find us a ship. We-"
Daenerys stopped talking as she widen her eyes. At once she jolted off towards the direction of her guest quarters. Starkiller immediately followed after her, followed by the twins and her Bloodriders.
When they arrived at her quarters, they found several Dothraki dead on the ground, warriors and servants alike. Starkiller scanned the room until he came upon Daenerys.
She was on her knees in front of the baskets she kept her dragons in; all three empty.
"Where are my dragons?" Daenerys muttered as she turned to Starkiller "WHERE ARE MY DRAGONS?!"
Starkiller stayed silent as he just stared at her.
Something told him that when this was done, there were going to be more bodies hitting the ground.
.
TADA! A cliffhanger.
We all know Daenerys's dragons were stolen from the TV show, but I'm thickening the plot to spice up one of Game of Thrones more boring yet important story lines.
As I said, I'll be using lesser known characters such as Fatty Bolger, who only had a few cameos in the movies, and Talon Karrde, who's only in the expanded universe.
For those who don't know, the Dourhand Dwarves are original characters from the Lord of the Rings Online game.
Before anyone asks, no. I don't intend for Starkiller to do Dany. I'm sure some people are asking for it, but it's not gonna happen. He's just gonna be one of her trusted advisers in the future, while also being one of the few people capable of talking back to her.
Anyone wanna take a guess of what could have strangled that Gold Cloak?
And if I'm making Starkiller OP, guess what? He's always been sort of OP. Those who play the Force Unleashed would know.
Have any request on who should meet? Want someone from one of the five other series to appear in Westeros? Have any ideas on what you want to see happen? Don't be shy, leave a text.
