Jean d'arc: I agree, Septa Mordane was a strict woman but she sincerely cared about and loved the Stark girls and she didn't deserve her fate in the books and show but then again neither do most people in the world of ice and fire.

Promises Kept

Mia Snow

King's Landing, Days Later….

Mia flinched back as she peeked around a corner, for days her and Arya had been hiding from the goldcloaks and Lannister guards, she had heard them question people "we're looking for a woman, black hair, purple eyes, two missing fingers, she may be with a young girl"

Whatever her father planned it did not work and now Mia did not know what to do, she waited for Sansa and Septa Mordane but they never came, she looked for the Stark household guards but couldn't find them. So she waited, scavaging for food and water, waiting for something to happen.

"What do you think happened?" Arya asks.

Mia shakes her head "I don't know" Mia answers.

"Is father okay?" she asks.

Mia sighs in frustration "I don't know!"

"Is he dead?"

"I DON"T KNOW!" Mia snaps before taking a deep breath, she kneels in front of her sister and grabs her by the shoulders "Something happened to father and Sansa, whether they're alive or not we might have to consider the possibility of leaving without them"

Arya doesn't like this "What we can't just leave them!" she exclaims.

Mia opens her mouth to explain but before she can, she notices something behind her. She steps away from her young sister and sees three bodies hanging from a wall, she walks towards them to see that two of them were Stark guards that she didn't know, but she did recognize the third, a woman, her body stripped naked and bloodied, her skin was already showing signs of rot and her black hair had seemed to have been torn from her scalp.

"Talisa!" she gasps, placing her hand on her mouth to keep herself from sobbing as her eyes fill with tears.

At that moment she hears a laugh come down an alleyway, she looks down it to see three men, two goldcloaks and a Lannister, they were clearly drunk. Mia clenched her fists and shook in anger, she did not know if these men were the ones who had done this to her friend but right now she did not care, she drew her dagger and hid it behind her back "Wait here" she told Arya and the girl obeyed.

The three men noticed her walking towards them "The fuck do you want" one of the goldcloaks asked.

She answered him by placing a hand on his shoulder and driving her knife into his neck, the man's drunken eyes sobered into a mixture of shock, pain, and fear as she twisted the blade in his neck, she pulled the knife out causing hot blood to spurt onto her face and mouth, as he drops to the ground she turns to the other two, the remaining goldcloak was much more clumsy so she kicked the Lannister to the ground, as the goldcloak fumbled for his sword, she found a weak spot in his armor right at his ribcage, she drives the knife there over and over again until he fell to his knees, Mia then grabs him by his helmet pulls his head back and slits his throat.

The Lannister jumps back to his feet and before Mia can react he grabs her by the neck, smashes her against the stone and begins to squeeze. She tries to use her knife and stab him. But he grabs her hand and forces the blade from it, "Stupid fucking whore!" he sneers.

As her vision begins to blur, the man suddenly releases his grip on her and cries out in pain, Mia drops to the ground gasping and coughing "You little cunt!" she hears the man scream.

From the ground she sees the Lannister looking down at Arya who is holding her raiper she called Needle, it's blade covered in fresh blood.

The Lannister guard smacks Arya to the ground, he then retrieves his sword and steps back over to Mia and raises it but as he brings it down, another blade intercepts it, Mia looks to see a hooded figure standing with a sword in hand, the Lannister swings his blade but the figure deflects it again and again until he finally saw an opening and plunger his sword into the Lannister's face.

The figure turns to Mia his face cloaked by a hood, he reaches out his hand and Mia hesitantly took it. As the figure helps her up a gust of wind comes along and blows away his hood, it was an old man with sad blue eyes, short white hair and a hardened yet kind face.

Mia had seen the man at the Tourney of the Hand but never spoken to him "Ser Barristan Selmy?" she asks.

Before the old knight can answer, Mia notices Arya still on the ground, trying to get up, she rushes over to her younger sister "Are you okay?" she asks.

"My foot hurts" the girl complains.

"Let me see," Ser Barristan says coming to kneel beside Arya "I've seen a fair share of wounds in my time"

He pulls up Arya's breeches and examines her ankle, "It's not serious," he says "But she won't be able to walk on her own"

He then begins bandage it as best he can. Mia watches him suspiciously "Why are you here?" she asks "You're the Lord Commander of the Kingsguard"

The Older man scowled "Not anymore" he says bitterly "Our new King thought me too old, he blamed me for Robert's death"

"You know who we are?" Mia asks,

Ser Barristan nods "I do"

"Then you can tell me what happened to our father," she says.

Ser Barristan sighs "Lord Stark made a deal with Petyr Baelish" "The city watch was to help them seize the queen and her children and then proclaim Lord Stannis as the rightful King, but Baelish instead procured the goldcloaks for the queen, they slaughtered the Stark Household and arrested Lord Stark"

"Littlefinger, that fucking snake" she sneered "Sansa is she okay"

"Lady Sansa is fine and still betrothed to Joffrey as far as I know"

Mia takes a breath of relief Her half-sister may be a prisoner of the Lannisters but at least she was alive. "Your father looked to me to read King Robert's will," Ser Barristan says dropping his head in shame "And I still stood against him"

Mia shakes his head "I have heard tales of your valor and honor" she says "If those tales are true then you stood against my father because it was your duty"

Ser Barristan gives her a soft smile "You are kind my lady" he says "But I have still done your family a great disservice and I am sworn to House Baratheon no longer, perhaps I can help make up for it by getting you and your sister out of the city"

Before Mia can reply the sound of bells fill the air, at the end of the alleyway she sees men women and children rushing towards something "What's going on?" she asks.

Ser Barristan shakes his head "I do not know"

Mia rushes to follow the crowd, Ser Barristan helps Arya and follows her, the crowd rushes outside the sept of Baelor, thousands of people gathered outside the Great sept and around the Statue of Baelor the Blessed, facking the crowd was the so-called Royal family, along with the rest of the Kingsguard, The Hound, The Small Council Ser Illyn Payne, the King's justice and her half-sister Sansa.

The crowd started roared as two goldcloaks brought someone out, it took Mia moment to realize that it was her father, the goldcloaks brought him before Joffrey and his despicable family "I am Eddard Stark!" he called out "Lord of Winterfell and Hand of the King" he suddenly turned Mia realized he was looking at Sansa who gave him a barely noticeable nod "I come before you to confess my treason, in the sight of gods and men"

"No," Mia said softly this was not right, the only treasons here were committed by Cersi Lannister.

"I betrayed the faith of my King" her father continued "And the trust of my friend Robert, I swore to protect and defend his children but before his blood was cold I plotted to murder his son and seize the throne for myself"

His words sent a wave of disgust through Mia, she knew with all her heart that her father would never do these things and yet the Lannisters paraded him in front of a thousand people and forced him to confess false treasons.

"Let the High Septon and Baelor the Blessed bear witness to what I have to say….Joffrey Baratheon is the one true heir to the Iron Throne, by the grace of all the gods, Lord of the seven kingdoms and Protector of the realm"

Mia shook her head, shivering with rage as Joffrey turns to his mother with a smug smile on his face. Grand Maester Pycelle steps forward "As we sin so do we suffer" he says "This man has confessed his crimes in sight of gods and men, the gods are just...but beloved Baelor taught us they can also be merciful" he turns to Joffrey "What is to be done this….traitor your grace?"

As the crowd shouted curses the blonde boy raises a hand "My mother wishes me to let Lord Eddard join the night's watch" he turns to Sansa and smiles "And My Lady Sansa has begged mercy for her father" he stops and smiles gently at his betrothed before he turns back with a wicked look "But they have the soft hearts of women, so long as I am your king, treason will not go unpunished, Ser Illyn bring me his head!"

Mia's blood ran cold at his words, her body stiffened in horror as the crowd cheered, a Kingsguard grabbed Sansa as she stepped forward and cried out in anguish, Cersi and Varys seemed to be trying to dissuade Joffrey but the boy just stood there with a smug sadistic smile, Ser Illyn put on a black hood before drawing her father's own Valryian steel greatsword Ice.

Mia took a step planning to rush forward but a hand grabs her arm, she turns to see Ser Barristan shaking his head "there's nothing you can do" he says.

"LET ME GO!" Mia screams, desperately trying to wiggle free from the old man's firm grasp.

"Think of your Sister" the old knight pleads.

Mia freezes and looks back to her father to see two Kingsguard force him to his knees, she turns to Arya who's was a mixture of anger, horror, and desperation "Arya don't look!" she orders her sister as she kneels before her.

"What are you doing?" Arya demands "You have to help him!"

Mia grabs her shoulders and roughly shakes her "SHUT UP!" she screams "Just look at me!" eventually Arya stops struggling and the two sisters stare into each other's eyes as the crowd cheers around them.

Eddard Stark

Ned watches as Illyn Payne walks towards him he turns to Sansa who screams and begs for his mercy, the cheers of the crowd seem to fade into nothing and all he can hear is the sound of his own breathing as Illyn Payne raises Ice he lowers his head and closes his eyes, his loved ones appear before him Catelyn, Bran, Sansa, Rickon, Jon, Mia, Arya, and Rob.

And then the men he had watched Willam Dustin, Ethan Glover, Martyn Cassel, Theo Wull, Mark Ryswell, Jory, Arthur Dayne, Oswell Whent, Gerold Hightower, Jon Arryn Robert, his brother Brandon and his father.

Finally, two more faces appear before him, his sister Lyanna and Ashara Dayne "I kept my promises" he mutters under his breath as Ser Illyn brings down the blade on his neck.

Mia Snow

Mia gasped in horror as she heard the sound, that horrible sound that signified her father's death she turned to see Janos Slynt the commander of the city watch, pick up her father's head and shows it to the crowd "No!" Mia gasps her voice full of despair.

Ser Barristan once again grabs her arm "We must go!" he shouts, Mia doesn't move so the old knight drags her and Arya with him, she follows lifelessly replying what she had just watched over and over again.

Catelyn Stark

The Riverlands, A week later….

Catelyn Stark marchers through her son's war camp, guards and soldiers bow to her as she passed but she didn't even see them, tears streamed down her face, she wandered into the woods where she leaned against a tree to keep herself from collapsing.

The Lady of House Stark took deep labored breaths as she thought about her husband How could this be? She thought How could he be dead, her thoughts were interrupted when she heard the sound of someone grunting and yelling, she looked up to see her eldest son Robb angrily hacking away at a tree with his sword.

"Robb," she says gently, the boy continues to furiously attack the tree "Robb!" she says more fiercely, this time he stops, taking deep breaths, his eyes full of tears "You've ruined your sword," she tells him.

He drops his sword and collapses into his mother's arms "I'll kill them all" he says as she hugs him "every one of them...I'll kill them all"

"My boy," she says with a shake of her head "They have your sisters, Arya Sansa and…." she hesitates before saying the next name "And Mia" she finally says "We have to get them back...and then we will kill them all"

Later that night….

Catelyn pulled her coat tightly around herself as she sat down even in the Riverlands the nights were cool, winter truly was coming, she sat next to her son, the new Lord Of Winterfell as he held a meeting with the Lords of the North and Riverlands "The proper course is clear!" Lord Jonos Bracken, Lord of Stone Hedge calls "We should pledge fealty to Renly Baratheon and move south to join our forces with his!"

Robb shook his head in dismissal "Renly is not the King"

Lord Jones looks at the younger man in confusion "You can not mean to hold to Joffrey my lord" he says "He put your father to death"

"That doesn't make Renly king" Rob counters "He's Robert's youngest brother, if Bran can't be Lord of Winterfell before me then Renly can't be King before Stannis"

"So you mean to declare us for Stannis?" Lord Jones asks.

"Renly is not right!" Lord Galbart Glover calls.

Many of the other lords begin shouting and arguing until Greatjon Umber hushes them "My lord here is what I say to these so-called kings" he then spits on the ground causing many others to laugh "Renly Baratheon is nothing to me" the Lord of Last Hearth declares "Nor Stannis neither, why should they rule over us from some flowery seat in the south? What do they know of the Wall or the Wolfswood, even their damned gods are wrong, It was the dragons we bowed to and now the dragons are dead" the large man draws his blade and points it at Robb "There sits the only King I mean to bend my knee too...The King in the North!"

As the Greatjon kneels to Robb, the young lord stands with a determined look on his face "I'll have peace on those terms" Lord Karstark agrees "They can their red castle and their Iron chair" he draws his sword and kneels to Robb" The King In the North!"

Theon Greyjoy stands 'Am I your brother?" he asks Robb "Now and always"

Robb nods "Now and always"

The Ironborn boy draws his sword and kneels to Robb "The King in the North!"

"The King in the North!" The rest of the lords shout, they all draw their swords and kneel, Catelyn looks at her son in a mixture of pride and worry, the Lannisters had drawn first blood, now the lords of the North meant to make a sea of it.

"The King in the North! The King in the North! The King in the North! The King in the North! The King in the North! The King in the North! The King in the North! The King in the North! The King in the North! The King in the North! The King in the North! The King in the North!"
