Lord Walder chewed on a piece of bread, satisfied with his work. Aenys, Hosteen, Lothar, Bastard Walder, Jared, Aenys's son Rhaegar, Danwell, his two other brothers, Symond and Merritt, Walder's nephew Theo, Lord Walder's three great grandsons, Edwin, Pyter and Black Walder, Raymund and Walton Frey all stood around hungrily watching their father as he drank down a flagon of wine.
"Brains!" he laughed. "That's what you need to outsmart your foes, heh-heh, brains!"
He cackled out loud and all the Freys joined in. Lord Walder's grandson Ryman came up laughing. "The Reins weep over their halls, Grandfather," he snarked.
Walder laughed in agreement. "Oh aye, those idiots didn't know what killed them."
"Or stabbed 'em, you mean," japed Black Walder.
"Oh, you and your japes, Black," sniggered Walder. "You know the japes Lord Pewtershmidt made of me. He called me 'The Late Walder Frey.' Because I didn't get my men to the Trident in time for battle. He thought he was witty. Heh, heh, look at us now, Carter! You're dead! Your daughter's dead, your grandson's dead, your son spent his wedding night in a dungeon and… I'm lord paramount of the Trident." He laughed out loud. Ryman followed along with the rest of the Freys.
"Chris Griffin's wife is still out there," said Roose Bolton.
"Heh, a pregnant widow, holed up in a castle?" sneered Walder. "We've got Tywin Lannister backing us, who does she have?"
"As you say," muttered Roose.
"You know," went on Walder. "People always sneered at me, when I married a little girl but who said a word when Adam West married the little Pewtershmidt bitch?"
"You'll be needin' a new young wife," said Gideon.
"Yeah, got that to look forward to," muttered Lord Walder.
"Well, you're Warden of the North now Roose," said Merritt. "With my daughter as your wife to boot."
"Must have been torture following that blonde fat-ass everywhere," said Raymund.
"He ignored my advice at every turn," said Roose. "If he'd been a trifle less stupid…"
"You know, it's always bugged me," said Edwin. "How a name like Griffin has a direwolf for their sigil, yet the family name is Griffin."
"Well, what does it matter?" coughed Jared. "He's lost this war."
"Aye," said Lord Walder as he picked up a glass. "Here's to the young Griffin." And he made a screeching noise like a griffin.
"Forever young," murmured Roose.
And they all laughed. As soon as Gideon and the others left the room, Walder spoke to Roose. "So, Winterfell will go to your bastard now, yeah?" he asked.
"It will, yes," said Lord Bolton. "We'll need to get the other houses' support first, and repair the castle."
"Yeah…" said Walder. "What really happened up there? I heard the Greyjoy boy turned traitor and took the place for himself, I heard he killed young Stewie and then… nothing."
"I sent my son to root him out, Chris offered amnesty to the Ironborn if they gave us Theon," said Roose. "Everything went according to plan, but Ramsey… Well… Ramsey has his own way of doing things."
In the Red Keep Bill Cipher laughed and laughed.
"Oh boy," he said to himself. "This is just too much comedy."
"You've gone too far, Bill!" shouted a voice.
Bill turned around and set his eye on two girls. One was older with red hair and a dress and the other younger one had brown hair and was dressed like a boy. "And what are you gonna do about it, missies?"
"If you had a throat, I would cut it, Cipher!" snarled the younger girl.
"Ha! Ha! Ha! Adorable!" laughed Bill. "You Stark girls really aren't in a position to do anything really. I seem to remember that deal we made. You know, you guys wanted Season 8 rewritten. It kinda ended good for you guys, but everyone else… yeah."
"Actually, it was Bran," said Sansa. "He hated how the whole thing ended and you tricked him!"
"Guilty as charged," said Bill. "Thanks to him, I managed to reset the entire Multiverse and fuse them into yours, books and HBO shows alike! And when the new rift is opened up north, this world's gonna know how to party!"
"You'll be stopped, Bill," said Arya. "Just like back in Gravity Falls."
"There's no Zodiac to stop me now," said Bill. "Not that it did before. Although, that Stewie Griffin could ruin it all, along with Pinetree and Shooting Star. I'll have to get rid of them first, an' then the Multiverse will truly be mine…"
