REVELATIONS
CASTLE PYKE
The night sky is filled with stars and the moon shines bright as, Rhaexor flies low over sea and Theon dives into the water and swims to the Island of Pyke. He smiles remembering the look on his Uncle Harlaw's face when showed up at his home. After a long talk his uncle agrees to support Theon. Now he must face his father the Lord of the Iron Isles, Balon Greyjoy.
"Who goes there?" The Guard asks.
"It is I…Theon of House Greyjoy."
"My Prince."
Theon waits in the main hall for his father. The doors open and he walks with his Uncle Victarion. Theon had not seen either men for the pass ten years. "Son of bitch!" Victarion says looking up.
"Hello Father, hello Uncle. I am home."
"Theon! So the Starks finally let you go." He coldly says.
"Boy its good to see ya!" Victarion says hugging him.
"You don't seem pleased to see me Father."
"What are our words boy?"
"I know our words father…I never forgot them…Here this is for you." He takes the scroll out of his cloak and gives it to him.
"What is this?"
"Read."
To Lord Balon Greyjoy
I Aegon Targaryen the Seventh of his name, the rightful King of the Andels and the First Men. Lord of the Seven Kingdoms, Protector of the Realm do hereby inform that your reign over the Iron Islands is over…I name your son Theon Greyjoy Lord and Warden of the Iron Isles. Any who defies or stands against him stands against me…
With regards your king
Aegon Targaryen
Balon looks at his son, "Is this a joke?"
"I'm not laughing father."
"Let me see that!" Victarion says taking the scroll.
"I came here by Dragon father. Yes he has a Dragon and so does his sister and Aunt." That is when a young woman enters the hall.
"Father I…"
"Yara! Yara is that you?"
"Theon! Yes its me! Look at you all grown up."
"So are you! You're not a fat little Seal anymore."
"And you're not a whinny little brat anymore." They laugh and give one another a hug.
"The Starks let you go?"
"Your brother came to depose me as the Lord of the Iron Isles. Says he has a Dragon backing him. And I say to you Theon! That the Drowned god will take me before I give Lordship over the Iron Isles to you boy!"
But he did not have a choice. Theon's Uncle Rodrick Harlaw has the largest army and fleet in the Iron Isles. With his support, Balon is removed as Lord and placed under House arrest. When the High Priest of the Drowned god Aeron Greyjoy tried to use his influence to have Theon removed, he too was placed under House arrest.
VARYS – KING'S LANDING
Varys was given a written message, "So the time has come. May the gods watch over us all." He prays. Varys never truly believed in the gods, for if they existed, then why would they allow children to be hurt, abused, bad people to have power and such. He himself was mutilated as a child. But it was time and he has a fake letter written. Then he sends for Ser Jaime Lannister. It is the perfect time as the King has gone hunting to prepare for the announcement of Prince Tommen's betrothal to Lady Arya of House Stark. A tourney is also scheduled to take place to celebrate.
They meet in the wine cellar. Varys arriving first and waiting for Ser Jaime Lannister. "Ser Jaime thank you for coming."
"What do you want Spider?"
"Rarely am I asked that question. But for the sake of time, I asked you here to give you a chance." He hands Jaime the letter."
"What is this?"
"A fake letter. An excuse for you, the Queen, and your children to leave the Capital."
"What did you say?"
"I believe you heard me My Lord…That is a fake letter from your aunt claiming that your father has fallen ill. Use it to leave the Capital, for when King Robert returns it will be revealed to him that the Queen's children were fathered by you."
Varys is surprised that he hadn't reached for his sword yet. "What proof do you have?"
"Genealogy…All Baratheon's from the time of Orys Baratheon until now were born black of hair and blue of eyes…The seed is strong. The King has numerous bastards here in the Capital and across the south of Westeros. Children black of hair and blue of eyes…Joffrey and his siblings are the only ones gold of hair and green of eyes…
The prince and his siblings is nothing like his father, in looks or temperament." Now he draws his sword. "Killing me won't make a difference. The truth will come out and you, along with the Queen and the Children will not be allowed to leave this city."
"What do you want?"
"Me nothing. It is what those whom I serve want. Aegon Targaryen, son of Prince Rhaegar and Lyanna Targaryen nee' Stark." Jaime sheaths his sword, as he tells him about Aegon, Rhaenys, Daenarys Elia, and the plan. "There is a ship waiting to take you the Queen and your children to Casterly Rock."
"Jon Stark is Rhaegar's son." Jaime whispers. "Why are we being shown mercy?"
"The King doesn't want the blood of the children on his hands. And he is indebted to you for saving all those people from the wild fire Aerys had placed beneath the city."
JAIME
Jaime turns to leave, but stops and looks back, "My father?"
"Will answer for the sacking of King's Landing. Your sister will also answer for trying to sell Lady Lysa into slavery. She was trying to blackmail your sister."
Jaime leaves with the letter in hand. Cersei is waiting for him in their usual meeting place, the old Dragon Tower. "Jaime what took you so long?" She notices the look on his face. "What's wrong?" He hands the letter.
Dear Jaime, Cersei, and Tyrion
I hope this letter finds you both well and in good health. I am sorry to tell you this way, but your father has fallen ill and I am afraid he is not long for this world…Come quickly
With Regards Your Aunt Jenna
"How long have you had this?"
"Since last night. We need to leave. I spoke with Robert before he left…He said it was alright."
She frowns, "He did." After talking to Cersei Jaime speaks with Tyrion.
It takes two hours to pack for the trip. Then Jaime, Cersei, Tyrion, the children, and their guards head to the ship. As soon as the ship is out to sea Jaime asks Cersei to come to his cabin, "I lied to you."
"What are you talking about?"
"The letter was a fake. Father is fine."
"Why would you do such a thing?"
"Varys gave me the letter. He still serves House Targaryen…He serves King Aegon Targaryen. The son of Prince Rhaegar and his second wife Lyanna."
CERSEI
Cersei listens as Jaime tells her about Rhaegar's two wives, the lies and secrets, the fact that there are three Dragons and the Targaryens are about to reveal themselves. "Lyanna Stark…That bitch has been haunting me from the day I married that fat fool. I should have killed him…Allowed you to kill him." She looks at Jaime.
"What are we going to tell father?"
"What else can we tell him, but the truth."
"After all I have suffered and gone through with that man…I have nothing." Cersei stands up and leaves.
TYRION
Tyrion stands at the end of the hall watching as Cersei leaves Jaime's room. He walks up to the door and knocks. "Jaime its me Tyrion!"
"Come in."
"Is everything alright?"
"Tyrion you are the smartest person I know, which is why I am going to tell you this." First his brother reveals that the letter from Aunt Genna is a fake. Then Jaime reveals his sexual relationship with their sister, which Tyrion already knew about. Each revelation from Jaime's mouth is more intriguing than the last. Now he is told about the Targaryens and their Dragons. "Any suggestions."
Tyrion takes a drink. "We are fucked dear brother. As for you and Cersei I already knew about that. If you're going to tell Father then I would suggest having Aunt Genna present. She is one of the few people who can handle him. As for father…Well if he asked for trial by combat…He may have a chance or he should join the watch. Neither of which he would agree with."
"And Cersei?"
He takes another drink, "The fact that the Targaryens aren't going to burn us out of house and home is a good thing. You may be able to plead for them to the King." Upon arriving in Lannisport. Jaime takes them to the family mansion in the city and uses the secret passage to sneak into Casterly Rock. Cersei, Tyrion, and the children hide, while Jaime goes to his Aunt's room and wakes her.
TYWIN
After his wife died Tywin had all her clothes removed from their room and the bed changed. The only thing he kept of her was her painting which he kept in his solar. Though he rarely looked at it. Tywin believed in leaving behind a legacy that would last a thousand years. With his daughter as Queen and the blood of House Lannister, his House would always have influence in the seven Kingdoms.
A knock at his door awakens him from his sleep. He gets out of bed and opens the door to find his sister Genna. "Genna…what brings you by at this hour?"
She steps to the side and Jaime appears, "Hello father."
"Jaime what are you doing here?"
"We need to talk."
They all go to his solar. Drinks are poured and Jaime takes two drinks, pours another before he speaks. That is when Tyrion enters the solar, "Ah brother just in time…Varys gave me a fake letter from Aunt Genna, claiming you are sick. It was to trick Cersei and the children into leaving the Capital." He pauses to sip more wine.
"Why?" Tywin asks.
"Because he still serves the Targaryens…Princess Rhaenys is alive…Daenarys Targaryen has been living in Dorne all these years. The best part is that Lord Eddard Stark's bastard Jon Snow or Stark now…is the son of Prince Rhaegar and Lyanna Stark. He wants the Iron throne. His mother named him Aegon Targaryen.
As you have guessed by now. Houses Stark, Tully, Tyrell, Martell, The Stepstone Lords, and a great many of the crownland lords have sworn to fight for Targaryens. In addition Aegon has his own army…The Dragon army. It is made up of the Company of the Rose and the Unsullied army. Eighteen thousand strong bearing the sigil of House Targaryen." Jaime stops to finish off his wine.
"That still does not explain why you had to leave King's Landing." Tywin says.
"Tell him Jaime."
Jaime takes more wine, "We had to leave because they planned to tell Robert our secret. Cersei and my secret."
"What secret?"
"The children were fathered by me and not Robert." So Tywin hears the secret he had long expected but did not believe. Over the years he had seen the looks of love between Cersei and Jaime. He wrote it off as a childhood phase. And he himself had never actually seen them in the act.
He looks at Genna, "Did you know?"
She sighs taking a drink, "Joanna told me. I did not believe it at first…" She stops and looks at Tyrion.
"I showed her, it was during the time before we left for the Capital so that Cersei could marry Robert."
Tywin stands up and turns his back to all of them, staring up at Joanna's picture. "Leave me…all of you." Later Tywin calls Jaime and Cersei to his solar. "The two you of have undone all I have strived to achieve for this family. One may argue that the Targaryens married family members. But we are not Targaryens."
"Father…" Cersei says trying to speak.
"Silence! I will call the banners. By now Robert has called his banners and if what you say about the Targaryens is true then the game is afoot. I am sending your Aunt Genna to Volantis with her children, Tommen, Myrcella, Dorna and her children, along with some guards and gold."
"Wha…What about Joffrey?" Cersei asks.
"Joffrey is going to Maesters…Maybe they can help him before it is too late."
"No please I beg you father, don't do this."
The whole time he had his back to them. "It is done now leave me!"
