I'm sorry for the long wait for this update I was working for the last few months in the capital of Croatia and I didn't have my computer with me, and the mistake from a few weeks ago was me thinking that the chapter that I uploaded was this one...but it wasn't and it got deleted and now I'm writing it for the second time, sorry for the mistake but at least it's mutch longer chapter now with answers to your questions about the story.

SB User= I posted the story twice because most of the story belongs to the book section of Song of Ice and Fire because the story is set up 300 years before the tv show... But because it will eventually go into the time much later that it also belongs in the game of thrones section so I posted it twice insted of crossover section, and what is wrong with the attention seeking? At least I will know what section has more readers.

NobodyOwens5= I don't know what to tell you about the future of the story to look forward too except for more chapters? and the slow burn until the time of Robert's rebellion perhaps.

DullReign82= I'm sorry for the slow update schedule and I really try but as this is my second language it takes a loy of my time to write just few hundred words and they have so mutch mistakes that in just two hours of writing I get truly frustrated and take few days or even few weeks long breaks to recharge my writing muse.

BloodyMore= I hope you're satisfied his wife has been turn into a immortal too and his son will fallow soon.

For now that is all I could answer because you had too many questions and I don't know how to answer even half of them and most people will not even read this section so I will not waste my or your time and just continue to write the story and hopefully you will found answers in this chapter that way... Peace out.

Few years after King Stark surrendered his crown

Vlad Tepes POV

6 year of Aegons conquest

I was siting in my office deep inside of Helms Deep reading reports of my infiltration Droid unit's that I have spread across Westeros and Essos to keep a eye on things and the news in the Free Cities is worst than I could have ever even imagine.

With each month passed more soldiers die or end up in slaveri and all they have to show for it is more death and mayhem. I realized why they're calling it the century of blood with each city fighting each other for miles of farmland or at some places even miles of deserts with no one realizing the scope of mindless bloodshed that they are committing with only conquered few miles even after decades of fighting among each others.

But that is Essos in a nutshell, rich slave owner's fighting each other to earn just the few more gold coins, but too stupid to notice that even in the far future they will not be that mutch richer and the only thing that they are earning is more blood spent on land that will be unused by them except for the army's to die on them.

And the situation back home is not that much different with the situation down south with each lord sending bandits to weaken there's rivals and hoping to get the favor from our new overlord the Dragon rider who if the rumors that few of my infiltrators have learn about is that in few years time King Aegon is planing to attack Dorn after consulting his advisor's and realizing that his realm will not rebel any time soon.

And as I was siting and making plans for the future I heard a loud knock on my doors so I simply say loudly enter hoping for some new good news from my servents.

But who entered is not who I was expecting but was glad to see her, my lady wife who has a small smile on her face as she bends over the table and gives me a small kiss on my lips before she walks around the table and sits in my lap.

Lissa" my Lord husband we need to talk"

Hmm that is not good starting point in any conversation between husband and wife.

Vlad" about what my love"

Lissa" about farm yield from this season, building of new streets in town then your army that you have established, but most importantly... Your secret vault in the basement "

She says all that without any ounce of smile or warmth in her tone of voice and her eyes are made out of ice as she is looking at me and hoping to see me try and back out of talking with her about all of that, seriously women can be scary some times.

Vlad" well this season farm yield is 13% larger then last seasons yield thanks to new fields that got planted after cleaning them from tree stumps"

Then she gives me a warm smile filled with love and kisses me on my lips because I am not trying to beat around her question, but am instead actually answering her, probably earn a lot of good will just now.

Lissa" and the new streets? That will get stone pavements? And a underground sewage system? how do you plan to pay for all of that and your pet project of raising an army numbered in the thousands? "

Vlad" with the gold that is getting mined out of the new gold mine that I have discovered last month"

She looks at me with face full of confusion marring her beautiful face.

Lissa" and I am hearing about it only now? "

I can't even remember why I didn't told her, must have slipped my mind so I sheepishly started to explain to her.

Vlad" my love the truth is I am man and I must have forget to tell you that"

She just sights and accepts it because I don't know when my birthday is even supposed to be celebrated in the Westerosi calendar so we usually just celebrate it at new year's eve.

Lissa" if I didn't know you for the brilliant man that you are I would think that you are a simpleton with how much forgetting you're up to"

Vlad" I know, but that is just one of the things I do from time to time"

She just kisses me and rest her head at my shoulder and sigh minuscule even for my enhanced hearing to pick up and ask for a answer to the last question.

Lissa" and what about the big steel door at the back of our vault hidden behind the armor rack that I discovered few days ago? "

Oh... That secret vault she was asking about that thing that even I forgets from time to time because I don't want to go down there to often because I only get flashbacks about friend's that I lost and will never see again.

Vlad" I belive its time for you to know the secret about who I realy am and from what place I really come from"

She stills in my arms but I just sigh and start talking about earth and my life story from my early age, and because of too many unknown places and name's for jobs that I had, I tok frequent pauses and had to explain to her all about different countries and jobs I had.

And during my story planes came up and how I flew many times to all those countries so I explained what planes are and how they fly and many different things that I will never be able to see or visit ever again so for the duration of our talk that lasted until early morning I was near tearing up luckily she comfort me until I finished my entire life story.

Lissa" that... Just... I'm speechless "

Vlad" I know my love it's just... "

Lissa" I want to see it"

For a moment I didn't know about what she is talking about until she mentioned the vault again and I happily took her hand in my own and have taken her downstairs and through the fake vault full of gold and silver coins and fancy armor and weapons that I had made to just fill out the place and with her at my side I open up my real home and tok her inside holding her in the bridal style across the threshold.

For minutes she was just standing stunned in the middle of my home and just looking at everything and just opening and closing her mouth for she can't obviously choose the first item and ask the infamous question "what is that" or "what does that thing do" so I just stood by and waited for the beginning of a long day of answering her questions.

Lissa" what is that black mirror thing"

I just smile fondly for she just point at the tv and I just call for her to join me at my couch to show her some of the things that a tv can be used e for... Like watching movies, and that is how the rest of the day was spent me and my wife Lissa watching Lord of the Rings trilogy.

Vlad Tepes POV few days later

I was siting in my office and was considering the situation in the North and how soo much can change for Lord Stark and the North for the worst after opening the borders for the southerners to come and go as they wish.

Because you see for the past few years of Lord Stark becoming Lord Paramount of The North and becoming part of Targaryan kingdom were not as easy as anyone could have ever imagined especially as the first winter after we came back to the North was a hard one not only because of the cold but because most if not all of the harvest of the North got some infections of bugs of some kind or some disease that made all the plant wither and die before the harvest season and some Lord's have even reported food in larders going bad or rat infestation spreading across small folks villages.

And what about me and my lands...well I know the truth now after I have catch the saboteurs from the south while they where trying to spread some kind of diseases at my farms were actually acting under orders from some nobles from the south or even our new sister fucker King himself to make the North week and become depended for food from the south so we couldn't ever rebel soo I ordered to double and at some places even triple our guards in my lands.

And then I started to think about that information and what to do with it, on one hand, I could tell Lord Stark...but then all of the North will know that this was the biggest mistake that any Stark has ever done and they even had Bran the burnet back in the day but if I don't tell any one some could even say that I am responsible for spreading the disease so I could make a profit.

And not talking about the many rebellions that this could cause if I tell the truth across the North, so I took few feet back and look at the big picture...and realize that I could integrate my self in the North by selling the food to the other Lord at half price and become the savior of many smallfolk and nobles alike from starvation so that is what I started doing.

Unfortunately more and more saboteurs start coming at my lands and they completely ignore other Lord's territory but that was just fortunate for me and extremely painful for them is that I started to impale them at large stakes at the entrance at my lands with writings around they're necks proclaiming them thief or murderers.

Not too long after that, they stop coming and I gain the nickname of Vlad the Impaler from my fellow Lords around the North about my brutally effectiveness against criminals that even the Boltons started to copy from me the method for most of their criminals like rapist and murderers and thiefs inside their lands.

And now about some good news for my lands... We found gold! actually I found it using a highly effective mining scanner at the few mountains around my immediate lands.

And the mountains are full of it and few other metals like silver and iron and the best of all is that all of them are inside my valley so that is a huge boon for me because it becomes that much easier to safe guard my new mines.

So I started to build a small keep at the entrence of one mountain in a similar look as my castle and I already promised my wife that our son will be it's Lord after I told her and turn her into a immortal vampire and promise her to turn our son once he's older.

And that talk with her was one of the most troubled few hours in my new life but now our marriage is without any more secrets and I realize that if I could I would die for her and our son to keep them safe but I will settle for killing any one who try to hurt them ever.

I soon realized that I needed a real army with who I could go to war without leaving my land and people without defenses so I changed my plans for the army instead of simple guardsman for towns I choose to turn them into an army that could march to Dorn and back and fight it out without leaving my land defenseless as most westerosi armies do once they march to war.

So for my new army my soldiers are getting the same training as the Roman soldiers at the hight of the empire but the armor and equipment of them are closer to the full knight armor but only few level below of full plate armor.

(Lost Legion Ruskiheim is the look of my troops if you have the time to Google it or go to pinterest but they will have a few more armor plates on them with tower shields just like the roman troops from ancient Rome )

Once word of my plan to establish a large fighting force has reached the mountain chieftains they took it upon them self to send young lads who are second or third sons from families from their lands with some of them only sending only dozens of man and some of the largest clans sending few hundred volunteers including some of their fighting troops.

The plan for my legion will have to be modified to include all of 5000 men that have volunteered from across the mountains so I had to split them into 3400 heavy infantrymen and 800 bowman to have a well balanced force.

Who will be furthermore split into 200 strong cohorts of heavy infantrymen who if the situation calls for it can be sent along with 40 archers to fight smaller bandit bands or wildlings raiders along the border with the wall.

The plan for my cavalry to accompanied the infantry is a force of 600 riders who will be split between heavy cavalry of 400 troops in best armor for the riders and horse's and 200 light cavalry for scouting in leather armor to not slow them down with bows for use against enemy troops at range and for example if they're setting up any ambush.

But the greatest focuses of all these things must have been the establishment of the support staff of 200 cooks and healers so that my legion or any other future legions don't needed camp followers like all army's in this world who only slow down any marching and are useless in any fighting

Garth POV

I can't belive my luck for the last 4 years of my life, first me and my family have sold everything that we owned but couldn't carry with us at the long journey across the mountains to the lands of the new Lord Tepes that has gain the fealty of every single chieftain of the mountains in just few short years thanks to the many new plant's that he has gifted to anyone who wants them and that can feed many people during even the harshest winters.

We were hoping to try and found some work in the city that is rumored to be as large as wintertown but were not holding to mutch hope for founding anything but shoveling shit on the streets for we didn't hold any hope for actually getting gifted a small farmstead for use for we are just outsiders.

And then we got our first shock then because after only being in the city for less then one hour we where approached by two city guards who started questioning us about our plans in the city with clear distrustful look in their eyes.

But once they learn about our plans and wish to live in this city and found any work but are actually hoping to be farmers once again, we were swiftly escorted in short order to a man in a large building who after few question gifted us with a farmstead short distance away for our family.

And then we are told that 1/5 of our grown food will go to our new Lord as tax for the use of our farm land instead of being taken half of our food as was with our last Lord as taxes.

With the new farm equipment that is actually made out of steel and the amount of new seeds is mind boggling and how mutch more food we can grown on the small farmland around our house is truly amazing in such a way that most if not all our food is sold at the marketplace at a price lower that we could imagine but are still earning far more then ever back with our old Lord.

After few harvest seasons I have discovered in a rumor that our Lord is asking around for volunteers of anyone who are second or third sons who will not inherit and are not married but have a wish to join his growing army and is offering 5 silver coins per month.

And considering that there's no war on the horizon I and hundreds of farmer's sons have jumped at the opportunity to become a soldier and help protect our family's and our new bright future for all of us.

So I have said my goodbyes to my 4 older brothers that are staying behind to help my maa and paa around the farm and my young sister and to who I have promised to send some of my coin for her dowry that she will need in few years as she is only ten years old.

Soon I was on the road with few of my friends who have chosen to join me on the journey to our Lords castle where they will take our names and sent us off to get trained.

Once I have arrived at the Helms Deep, the seat of our Lord Tepes and saw the armor on the many soldiers guarding the castle I knew that in few months time I will make my family and Lord proud of standing in armor just like them and with my chin held high and protecting them all... but oh how I was mistaken because before I knew it there was thousands of new recruits with new armor with all of our equipment on our backs marching far away from our homes deep in the wilderness to start our training that will last for a full year.

( I know that roman century is a 80 man group but in my story that will be a 100 man group so please forgive me for that).

One of the first things that happened after few days of marching was all of us have been split in 200 man groups called a cohorts with a veteran soldier called a captain with two centurions who will be teaching us fighting in formation and in duels, and that did not come in the beginning for the first 3 month for we were all marching and then running with a lot of weight lifting to build up our strength and because of those hell months of training almost half of recruits wanted to quit and go home.

But as we all learned not to try to quit, because not to long after that started to happened our captain with help from centurions started with harsh beating anyone who is trying to quit or desert and reduction in food and ale was for the rest of us because we didn't stop them.

We all learnt how to shut up and just started to bare with it and just went with our training for months and we all started feeling like strong and proud army believing ourselves invincible but all of that was crushed in fine dust once we got orders to split in our century's or in some cases into our cohorts and start our marching north where we will help in patrolling our mountains alongside few clans who are getting raided by wildlings who are coming from north of the Wall.

And as I marched with hundred other man and few dozens of archers out of the fort that has been a home to me for the past year I think to my self why did I think that I will not see any battle when I am clearly going to be in a battle soon.

I should have listened to the blacksmith daughter when she told me about how the rumors from some of the clans from up north are of increase of raiders from across the wall and that our Lord is planing to send troops to help out, and I was foolish to think he will not sent us recruits for we are just green boys wnd and he has hundreds of veteran soldiers who have been with our Lord far to the south and have been trained to fight for years already.

I hope I will come back alive after facing the wildlings who are rumored to eat green boy's like me for dinner.
