Chapter 1
Kevan Lannister
The last thing Kevan Lannister remembered was the sharp pain which was caused by the arrow in his gut as well as the multiple knife wounds inflicted on him by the children who seem to be the 'little birds' of Varys. He remembered how Varys taunted him by telling him his death was necessary for the Targaryan Pretender to win the Iron Throne. Then everything went black for a long time. He knew he was dead as he felt himself falling into a dark abyss. Suddenly there was a Blinding Light which pulled him towards it. He could not feel anything as the light intensified around him.
Suddenly he found himself in a great hall filled with colours and surrounded by clouds. He was amazed to find himself being light as a feather as he moved forward to inspect the room. He felt like floating when all of a sudden a voice boomed "WELCOME TO HEAVEN KEVAN LANNISTER" he looked ahead to find a tall platform where the 'Seven Gods' looked at him with pity.
"Is this real, am I really in the Seven Heavens ?" he asked the Powerful Authoritative Presence looking at him. "Yes you are Kevan" said the Father who sat on a Throne and judging him. "You have assisted your brother in many horrible deeds. You could have stopped him and contradicted him but you were ever the follower".
" Look what your inaction have brought to your house" the Father boomed and a giant circle of power opened before him and he could see images in it. To his horror he could see his Niece taking power for herself and burning the 'Great Sept of Bailor' with Wildfire causing the death of Mace and Margaery Tyrell, Lancel was also among the victims. He saw Jamie fighting for his life with what appears to be a Mad Woman with a sliced throat watching him closely.
He saw Tyrion kneeling before the Dragon Queen who has surrounded herself with an army and Three Dragons circled the air. He saw a Silver haired Youth wearing a Targaryan Armour marry a Martell Girl in what looked like Storm's End while many people looked on. He saw the Red Keep overwhelmed by the Golden Company and Dornish forces. He saw Myrcella and Tommen's dead bodies laid before the Pretender's throne as his Queen laughed.
He saw Dragons annihilate the Lannister Army in another field of fire. He saw his niece grow mad and asking to 'Burn Them All' to that Disgraced maester. He saw a man with one 'Red Eye sacrifice thousands of people to summon Unholy Creatures from below the Seas. Then he suddenly saw a Great Army of Dead Men , Woman , Giants , Beasts and Monsters destroy the wall and invade the North. Kevan felt fear and panic as he looked at the mythical 'White Walkers' raise the fallen men and add them to their army.
He saw the Southern Houses and the Targaryan girl rallying an army to fight the dead. They seemed succesful with Dragons burning a large portion of the dead but suddenly a large monstrous dragon made of pure 'ICE' entered the battle and obliterated the fire dragons. The huge 'ICE Dragon' froze entire armies with it's cold breath and the Night King raised the Dead Dragons to kill everyone on westeros. They Proceeded to cross the oceans by freezing the seas and used dead krakens, whales , Sphinxes and Leviathans to reach ESSOS and continued their massacre. The Seas were frozen in place and even YiTi failed to stop the Monsters. The entire world was drowned in Darkness as all life was extinguished on the planet.
Kevan fell to his knees and cried. He could not forget the Nightmares he has witnessed and felt his Family's role in all the events that played out. He felt guilty for not questioning Tywin's actions and not defending Gerion or Tygett. Why did he always blindly follow his brother. May be his incompetence in standing upto Tywin has led to the punishment his family had suffered. He thought about his sweet wife Dorna, dead sons Martin and Willam and the babe Janei. He could not stop crying.
"Please, Please let this future not come to pass. I Beg of You. You are the 'SEVEN who are ONE', please save Mankind from these monsters" he pleaded to the Seven before you. "Why Should we help you ?" asked the 'WARRIOR' "They have forsaken the GODS and lead Sinful Lives" said the MOTHER. "Your House in particular are known to be Gluttonous than many" said 'THE SMITH'.
"Please show us Mercy and guide us towards the right path, you are the seven and we are your children. Please show Mercy" he pleaded to the Seven Gods before him. "Like your brother have shown the REYNE's and TARBECK's ?" questioned the 'MOTHER'. "You ask for forgiveness even after your brother help violate ELIA MARTELL and TYSHA ?". Kevan could not reply to them. He knew his brother was a harsh man but he failed to reign his worse impulses.
"Please you must forgive our Sins and help us from the debacle that will destroy all humanity. I will do anything you ask to atone for my Sins" he pleaded again. "EVIL wins when GOOD and CAPABLE men do nothing to stop it. Did you ever stop your brother or questioned his actions ?" asked the hooded 'STRANGER'. He felt ashamed for his failures in his life and fell to his knees again.
The Seven Gods looked at him for a long time as he cried and wallowed in his self pity and then the 'CRONE' spoke "ALL IS NOT LOST KEVAN". He looked up and felt a sliver of hope bloom in his heart.
"Please I will do anythng, tell me what to do" he asked them. "First you need to listen very carefully to what we have to say" said 'THE CRONE'.
Note :- I saw there are no good Kevan Lannister stories and wanted to pay homage to the 'Dutiful Lannister'. Please comment your thoughts.
