Jean d'arc: I agree with you my friend Edmure has his heart in the right place but he makes stupid decisions, though throwing Ser Barristan in the cells was definitely not one of them, as you may remember Cat and Mia didn't depart on the best of terms, though now that Mia has brought one of her daughters back will that change things? We will have to wait and see.
White Serpent: My original script had them get to Riverrun unscathed but then I realized that would have been boring so I added the fight scene.
Reunion
Mia Snow
Riverrun….
Mia awoke with a terrified gasp, she quickly sat up in her bed panicking before two hands grasped her shoulder firmly but comfortingly "It's okay child" the voice says "You're okay"
After another moment of panicking Mia finally calms down, she turns to see Catelyn Tully sitting beside her and looking exhausted "Lady Stark?" she asks.
The woman nods "You are at Riverrun" she tells her "Maester Vyman has been treating you for a fever"
"Arya?" Mia asks.
Lady Stark nods "She is fine," she says "You...you brought her back safely.
"What about Ser Barristan?" Mia asks "He was with us too"
"He left soon after Robb returned" Lady Stark answers. "From what I've heard he's heading east"
Mia nodded and an awkward silence befell the two "I should go find Robb" Mia says.
"He is in the war room with the other lords," Lady Stark tells her, Mia nods as she opens the door Lady Stark calls out to her "Mia...thank you for...for bringing my daughter back to me"
Mia looks at the woman "I didn't do it for you" she told her and with that, she leaves the infirmary.
She makes her way down the halls of Riverrun, he shoulder still throbbed with every step but when she inspected the wound she saw that it was sealed and already starting to heal, she finally makes it to the great doors to the war room which is been guarded by two men with spears, dressed in Tully colours "Is Lord Robb in there?" she asks one of them.
The man nods "He is my lady"
"I would see him," Mia tells him.
"Apologies my lady but his grace is currently meeting with his war council"
His Grace? Mia thought but she shook it off for now "I am his sister" she says forcefully "Do you think he will be happy when he finds out you refused to let me see him?"
The spearman gulps "I have my orders, my lady"
Mia sighs in defeat "What's your name?" she asks.
The spearman cocks his head to the side "Masyn my lady"
"You seem like a loyal man Masyn," she says "I respect that...if only every man were like you"
As she turns to leave Masyn stops her "My lady, if you would like to wait I am sure that would be fine"
Mia smiles at "I appreciate that" she says.
Robb Stark
Inside the war room….
"The Blackfish was successful at Cornfield your grace" Lord Tytos Blackwood declares "Harys Swyft and his army were routed and sent running to Casterly Rock"
"Harys Swyft!" the Greatjon spits "More of a frightened hen than a rooster"
Robb looks up from his map of the Westerlands "Send a raven to my great-uncle" he tells Lord Blackwood "I want him with us when we march on Ashmark"
The Lord of Raventree Hall nods "It will be done, your grace"
"We should be marching on King's Landing!" Lord Rickard Karstark says "We came down here for Joffrey's head let us go and collect it"
Robb shakes his head "Joffrey may be king" he says "But Tywin Lannister leads his armies, we will make our way towards him, one lord at a time"
The Young Wolf sees Olyvar looking unsure in the background, Robb gestures for him to come forward "Beg pardon your grace" the squire says "Your sister has awoken"
Robb's eyes widen but he forces himself to remain composed, he turns back to the Lords of the Riverlands and the North "Assemble your men my lords" Robb tells them "We march to Ashmark as soon as possible"
The lord's nod and bow before leaving the war room with the exception of the Greatjon, Robb turned back to Olyvar "Bring her in" he tells him.
Olyvar nods before leaving he comes back a moment later with Mia.
Robb's half-sister was looking much better then the last time he saw her, though she still looked weak, Robb marches up to her and hugs her tightly "Thank the gods" he says.
Mia laughs against his shoulder and pulls away "I assume you missed me?"
Robb smiles "Things would have been dull" Robb replies "But I've been occupied"
Mia nods "I know," she says "People have been addressing you as your grace?"
"You're brother is a king now lass," The Greatjon tells her "That's why we're here"
"It's only part of why we are here" Robb corrects "We're going to get justice for our father"
Mia frowns and drops her head "I saw it Robb" she says "I saw them take father's head"
Robb grasps his sister's chin and pulls her to meet his eyes "Mia I promise you we will take Joffrey's head" he says "And any other Lannister who gets in our way"
"We already have Jamie Lannister" The Greatjon comments smugly"
Mia's eyes widen "Jamie?"
Robb nods "We captured him at Whispering Wood," he says "He's our prisoner"
Mia nods "So what's the plan"
The Greatjon steps forward "Your grace perhaps we should….hold off on giving away our plans"
Robb looks back to the massive lord "This is my sister Lord Umber"
"Your half-sister my lord," he says bluntly before turning to Mia "Meaning no offense lass, but it may not be wise to tell a...
Robb takes a menacing step towards the Lord of Last Hearth "You speak far too boldly Lord Umber" he says "I think it's time for you too leave"
The Greatjon stares Robb down but the Young wolf refuses to back down, eventually, The Greatjon scoffs and leaves.
Robb turns back to his sister "We are marching on Ashmark within the week" he says "After that, we will take the Crag"
Mia nods "Good I'm coming with you"
Robb shakes his head "You're still hurt" he says "Maester Vyman says it will take months before you're fully recovered"
"All the same" Mia says "I'm still coming"
"What if I order you to stay?" he asks.
Mia smirks "I haven't bent my knee to you yet your grace," she says before adopting a more serious look "You are marching to avenge our father and I need to be a part of that"
Robb sighs "Mia…"
She grabs his arm "Don't make me beg brother" she says "You know I hate that"
Robb lets a small laugh before reluctantly nodding "Fine" he says "But you and I are going have to talk about your obstinacy...or else you might start offending the other lords"
Mia gives Robb the same cocky look she seemed to reserve only for him "Me, offensive?" she asks "You hurt me brother" she then leaves the King in The North to his thoughts.
Mia Snow
The Westerlands, a week Later….
Mia sighed as she began strapping on pieces of her leather, it had been modified specifically for her as most women were not allowed to serve in the army, she heard the other men snickering behind her back, they said she was only here because her brother was the king and that she would run away screaming at the first sign of battle.
She could easily tell Robb, he always hated people talking badly about her but she knew that she couldn't run to him for help, she needed to earn their respect.
"My lady!" a voice calls. Mia turns to see a boy walking towards, he was young but Mia still thought he was quite handsome, "You forgot your helm my lady" he says offering her the helmet.
Mia smiles at him as she takes it "Thank you" she says "You're my brother's squire right?"
The boy nods "Yes my lady" "I am Olyvar Frey, eighteenth-born son of Lord Walder Frey"
Mia nods "I hear my brother is betrothed to one of your sisters"
Olyvar fidgets awkwardly "Yes my lady" he repeats.
Mia chuckles at the boy's timidness "Then you and I may become family soon: she says before patting him on the shoulder and leaving, she makes her way to her brother's war tent, inside was all of Robb's inner circle, his great-uncle Ser Brynden the Blackfish, The Greatjon Umber, Galbart Glover and Rickard Karstark.
They all stared at Mia as she entered and she was suddenly very aware that she was the only woman in the room "Finally" the Greatjon spits "Now we can get started"
Robb glares at the man but says nothing, her brother was dressed in full northern armor and he now wore a crown a bronze circlet that depicts the runes of the First Men and is decorated with nine black iron spikes shaped like longswords, for the first time Mia saw her brother as he was, handsome, brave and strong, she saw him as a king.
Robb turns to Galbart Glover "Where are we on Asmark?"
The Lord of Deepwood Motte leans forward "They know we are coming your grace" he answers "Lord Damon Marbrand and his son Ser Addam were seen returning with 4,000 men"
Robb shakes his head "Tywin knows we more men then that" he says "Why would he send men into a battle he knows they can't win"
"The Lannister's have the largest army in Westeros your grace" The Blackfish states "He's trying to slow us down, chip at our army one piece at a time"
"He might find it more difficult" Robb replies "When we take every castle in the Westerlands from him" he then turns back to his map "Any word from Theon?"
None of the lords answer Robb, sighs in frustration "Send another raven" he says.
The Greatjon steps forward "Your grace I-"
"NOW!" Robb snaps.
All the lords grumble and leave the room, The Greatjon stops by Mia on his way out "He's your brother" he says "Perhaps you can talk some sense into him" with that he leaves.
Once the siblings are alone, Mia steps towards Robb and places a gentle hand on his arm, which he quickly shrugs off, "It's been over a month since you sent Theon to treat with his father" she says "You should have heard something by now"
"You don't think I know that?" Robb says without looking at her.
Mia sighs "Robb, three things could have happened" she says "Theon never made it to The Iron Islands, he sent a raven but it was lost, or he's….he's choosing not to send you a raven"
"He's no traitor" Robb defends.
"His father was" Mia counters
"You don't understand," Robb said "You never liked him, but he's my friend"
"Aye, he's your friend!" Mia snaps finally losing her temper "Which is why you should know if given the chance who would he side with, You? Or his family?"
Robb turns to face her for the first time "Get some sleep Mia" he said "We have a long day tomorrow"
Mia shakes her head and scoffs before leaving the tent.
An Hour Later….
Mia tossed and turned in her bed trying desperately to fall asleep, she tried to clear her head pf any distractions but nothing she did seemed to work, what was worse she knew what it was that was keeping her awake or rather who it was. Growling in frustration the young woman got out of bed and put her clothes, she started Dusk's head to wake him up, the Direwolf whined and looked up at her.
She made her way with her direwolf towards the prison camps, where Jamie Lannister was being held, the camp was heavily guarded which reassured her on any chance of the Lannister escaping.
She finally found the Kingslayer, tied to a large wooden pillar with a single guard watching over him, Robb wanted to bring Jamie everywhere he went, he didn't risk him getting loose. "Leave us," Mia told the guard, he recognized her as Robb's sister and nodded before leaving.
Jamie looked up at her, his face was bruised and bloodied "Well if it isn't the Bastard of Winterfell" he says mockingly "You were much prettier the last time I saw you, though I suppose that is partially my fault-"
He is cut off when Mia clenches her fist and smashes it into his face "That was for Jory!" she sneers.
Jamie spits up blood "Lady Stark had a similar reaction when she came to see me," he says "Are you sure you're not her daughter?"
Mia responds by slamming her boot into his nose "And that was for my brother!" she spits.
"Which one?" Jamie groans.
"Which one do you think?" she flares "Bran, you pushed from that tower"
"I did" he admits "I've admitted it many times over"
"But you haven't admitted why," Mia says "He saw you with your sister"
Mia takes satisfaction as the smug look disappears from the Kingslayer's face "So you were working with your father" he says "Perhaps he was not as much of a fool as I thought he was"
Mia once again smashes her fist into his face before kneeling down and grabbing him by his golden hair "Make your jests Kingslayer" she says "But know that my brother and I are marching down to King's Landing to take your son's head, and if I have my why your whore's as well.
With that, she leaves the Kingslayer alone.
