Chapter 3

AN) Just a reminder Joffery is really Grim Darkthorn(my own character ) so from now on I will refer to the Boy King as Joffery .He has super powers plural. This chapter will be a lot of correspondence between Joffery and several characters in Westeros. Part 2 will be chapter 4 it's because so many ravens. I also have a fix-it in the works for season 8 :)

Ravens and Revelations part one

River Run

Robb Stark was given a raven scroll , he sat and began to read it ,paused stared at the top of his tent ,Greywind looked at him and Robb pat his war wolf and proceeded to read.

From Joffery Baratheon First of His name King and Protector of the Realm

To Robb Stark Lord Commander General of the Northern Army

Dear Robb,

Soon a wheel house bearing your Lord Father ,Your Sisters Sansa and Arya.

They are guarded by sell swords who I paid the first half to keep them safe and the second half when they arrive safely at Winterfell. They will stop at Riverrun so you can see them off properly. I had a sword made for Arya and its valerian steel. Your Father is a good man and I think the world of him. I sent him North to once again be the Warden Paramount of the North .Now you must know I am sending my she wolf my winter rose my betrothed home to Winterfell because I love her. My Mother had a fit and fell in it but I am the King and not her puppet. Sansa need not wait to be married in the snake pit that is Kings Landing .I wish her and i could marry in The Gods wood. As for you ,Robb you have kicked the shit out of the Lannister Army ,I don't blame you. I want you to know that as King I have a thankless task to gently drag the realm kicking and screaming to unity and peace. The Long night is coming and frankly Robb, I ask you are we ready? I also long to marry your sister Sansa and some day call you brother and friend.

Kind regards

King Joffery Baratheon

Robb blinked ,read it again and went to get Caitlyn and she sat down and read it.

Meanwhile on the road..In the Wheelhouse which was drawn by 6 horses. It looked like a swollen carriage. Inside it was lined with Gold and Red cushiony cloth .A 360 degree ,plush leather cushioned bench as comfy as a modern day recliner . Ned could relax and his leg started feeling better ,no pain since he was put in the wheelhouse. Ned ,the quiet wolf had a long pleasant journey. His daughters listened to his stories ,they teased each other and a few times Ned could see that his daughters hadn't squabbled a lot he was so glad for that. Sansa said she missed Jon Snow and wished he wasn't at the wall. Arya could only agree .Throughout the Journey Sansa asked Arya what it was like to practice with swords and was pleasant with her.

What game was she playing? Arya thought. ' Had Sansa changed like that stupid king , Joffery ?'Oh Joffery may have fooled Sansa but not me not after what happened to the Butcher Boy.'

Wheel house taking the Starks slowed then stopped , some of Rob's troops led by Big Jon Umber were insistent ,who could trust any Lannisters. The Sell Swords stood their ground and one spoke up, "We are carrying Lord Paramount of the North Eddard Stark and his daughters Sansa and Arya safely home to Winterfell. We don't want any trouble-.

Arya burst out of the wheelhouse and laughed, "Lord Umber ,Big Jon ! He is telling you right let us pass and let me ride one of those horses." Arya got out the door before Ned could stop her .She showed the Big Jon her sword and handed it to him. Big Jon took it whistled as he looked at it this way and that and handed it back to Arya.

Great Jon "By the God's !Arya the littlest wolf ! Now you have a valerian steel sword tell me young lass do you know what to do with it? Arya smirked , "Slash em with the sharp edge ." They laughed Great Jon smiled, " Have you named that sword o' yours lass?" Arya, " It's my second sword actually" ,She patted her thin sword Jon Snow gave her," This one I call needle and I am to stick 'em with the pointy end." Laughter by Big Jon and his men. Sansa grinned ,"A name for my valerian sword has to be White Fang and so that is her name" Arya quit smiling, "A present from his grace King Joffery "

Great Jon nodded then boomed as he loudly acclaimed "Arya future warrior woman of the North !" Laughter and cheer went up ,Guards kept their place but relaxed not sensing any threat. Great Jon pointed east." You aint far from Riverrun, King Rob is there with your mum Caitlyn. You can all follow us." Great Jon turned and said to the sell swords ,"You lot can have bread salt and wine and many thanks for guarding our Liege lord and his daughters. They traveled there making good time . Arya kept up with them on horseback it felt good to ride a horse once again . In the woods a silent observer watched taking in everything . Nymeria !

Ned was happy when he heard the booming voice of The Great Jon. He could see Arya talking to the Great Jon from the window of the Wheelhouse. Then he saw Arya mount a horse quickly and seemingly with little effort. His eyes widened, 'by the Gods she is like Lyanna!' he thought. Everyone now on their way to Riverrun it seems everyone had a grand ,giddy expectation that the war's end seemed possible. An hour later they arrived and a call went out saying "BANNERS ,THE KING's BANNERS"

Rob came out to see and it was the Wheelhouse as King Joffery had written him about. He smiled and wondered why that King was being so reasonable, just what had changed him? Caitlyn was really amazed to see the wheelhouse she was a mix of ecstatic joy ,relief and in the back of her mind Cat just couldn't get over Joffery's seemingly good change . Jane Westerling followed Rob and was so happy the baby kicked. Rob Saw the Wheelhouse ,Guards in Baratheon Colors and was that Arya on that horse riding next to The Great Jon? Rob let go of Jane and quickly walked to the Wheelhouse.

The wheel house parked ,Ned called through the door ,"Rob my son, Cat my sweet lady wife it's me with Sansa and Arya !"

Cat and Jeyne were close behind. Rob helped Ned out of the Wheelhouse , Caitlyn stark flew at him in a clumsy embrace knocking them both to the ground ,falling on top and they rolled a bit , she showered his face with kisses. They were oblivious at all the laughter this generated .That would have been good in a comedy TV show. Ned kissed her back and they both laughed together .Ned got to his knees ,"My Cat we shall visit this sweet sentiment in full later." He smiled at Rob "Son help me up please. Rob and Jeyne both helped Ned up as Arya ran to hug Caitlyn as she stood and beamed . Sansa was helped out of the wheel house by The great Jon she smiled and gave him a hug and said "Thank you Lord Umber my knight ." Then Edmure Tully walked down and showed them the way to the stables, had the big gate opened ,wearing a wide smile said ,"Everyone tonight we feast." The journey back to the North went smoother than a porpoises back .Took a few weeks but all were glad to be back. The Sell Swords were happy ,it seemed Joffery paid more in the second half with a note thanking them calling them 'real stand up guys' which they shrugged off before they went their separate ways. Bronn was among them and he helped bringing back the wheelhouse as he rode inside and comfortable.

Theon never went to The Iron Islands. he stayed Robb's faithful archer and the war settled him down .

Jaimie Lannister and the rest of the prisoners were released and headed to Casterly Rock.

King's Landing

Joffery walks to the upper level of the castle and then all the way to the end to the Raven Keep. He walks inside and pays the man who normally sends ravens double. Then he walks to the cage itself. This place is a wide room with a big cage so the ravens are kept out of the elements. This cage lines the wall of the room ,they are black rimmed with a metal netting. 7 long perches with water cups for them to drink and wash on 3 places including each corner. More than enough food is given once a day . This is state of the art raven care in this time for ravens are so important for communication. Joffery takes the scroll and opens the cage and one raven hops over to him. Understanding the language of animals Joffery calls this bird telepathically. The scroll is a bit longer and maybe a bit heavier to bare.

Joffery , "Hello my name is Joffery-"Raven looked at him " You ! Human you can speak to my mind !?." Joffery " I know right? I am the King by the way and I have a royal mission for you."Raven cawed as he thought back , "Human we ravens don't have Kings unless you have a scroll that is." Joffery smiled , "I got yah pal , there is no king among ravens .I need you to carry this fat scroll all the way to the land of ice and snow ,Winterfell ." Raven looked side- ways " That I can and will do .You called me 'Pal' very well I will take that as a name call me Pal. " Joffery "Pal you can call me anything but don't call me late for supper?" Raven "I just might like you human you made me smile. I will remember your face ."

The Cage Master tried to put the scroll on Pal's foot . Pal pecked his hand .Pal then asked Joffery if he would do the honors. Joffery attached the scroll then took Pal in his hands and to the window and tossed Pal high in the sky. Joffery could hear Pal whooping and hollering with glee as he flew out of range .

Cage Master thought 'Bloody shock that my most feisty raven hops over to 'is grace the King, most strange , the little bugger and the King. They stared at each other what in the hells for ? Such a bloody odd thing to be sure. That crazy King prefers this spiteful bird what pecked my hand ,MY HAND WHAT FEEDS HIM ! Ungrateful twit of a raven! When I sees his King, I bows and opens the cage for him. That Raven his Grace calls Pal always hops over to the crazy King and holds out his bloody foot for the scroll! He's the King of ravens now he is. Wait till I tells me daughter'

Each letter Joffery sent by Pal. Joffery pays the Raven Keep and his Cage Master double for that privilege.

From Joffery Baratheon First of His name King and Protector of the Realm

To my beloved She-Wolf who has my heart,

I do hope your journey was well and that this letter finds you safely at Winterfell .I miss you already and long for the day I will see you once again .That day I can once again wrap arms around you . Oh Sansa I wish Kings Landing wasn't such a nest of vipers. I wish my mother wasn't so hateful to you .My Love ,I will come to see you in time . Gosh Sansa ,you will laugh at this , I might be sent to the Maester (laughs) she thought me mad for all the arrangements I made to get you home safely. I have many ravens to send as King and you my 'Sweet Winter Rose are holding and reading the first one to you . My good sister Myrcella asks if you're still embroidering and remembers how good you are at it. My good brother Tommen says hi .You know he is a good hearted kid who loves his cats .He brings his favorite cat he named Sir Pounce to watch him train with Myrcella and I in the ancient form of self defense called Martial Arts. Someday I will teach you as well and I am sure Arya would also be glad to learn. Now this is a secret i kept from you, when we kissed that first kiss you were frightened of me , unsure what I was up to. Then something happened and you kissed me back .I will tell you what happened ,I gave you Invulnerability and a super human healing and regenerative ability. I could only give that to you my love. I will heal some people but you are a fellow immortal .Ponder this and remember that I love you .

Kisses and hugs

Yours forever Joffery

Sansa read it and re-read Joffery's wonderful scroll to her. She held it close to her heart ,smiled and sighed. She breathed a prayer to the Old God's and New to be with her Joffery. She went to her closet and took a wooden lock box the size of a small suitcase and placed it on her bed. She placed the scroll inside and closed the lock box .Sansa then slid the lock box under her bed and smiled.

-Meanwhile at the Red Keep -

Joffery was in the Library reading a book on the lands east of the realm. Yi Ti and Ashai intrigued him. Four guards walked in. First goon -er guard, "Up your grace ,the Queen Regent orders you to be seen by Grand Maester ."

Joffery smirked ,stood seeing the guards ,"You goons think I sweat you ? Ok lets go see the man with the chain around his neck. This will be good for laughs." Joffery knew that he had to choose his battles so he went with them without incident. Joffery knew he could mop the floor with them. Joffery glared at Meryn Trant he knew what a sick creep Trant was.

Once inside The Queen Mother's chamber Joffery could see his Queen Mother sitting proper and looking dignified which made Joffery smile at her hypocrisy and composure, next to her sat Grand Maester Pycelle looking nervous. Joffery saw the seat facing 'dumb and dumber' and plopped in the chair ,holding his face in his hands. Between them is a medium sized table with tea and some apples. Joffery looked up , took an apple and awaited questions as he ate.

Cersie said to her guard,' the four goons ', "Leave us and do shut the door on your way out." She then looked at Grand Maester Pycelle and nodded looking to Joffery. Pycelle cleared his throat and told Joffery, "Your grace I am to ask you some questions to ,ahem, put your Queen Mother at ease." Joffery smiled and replied , "Ok Grand Maester I have no problem with that but first let me ask you something." Grand Maester Pycell folded his arms ,"Very well ask your question and then we shall proceed".

Joffery looked at the two of them in the eyes pausing to seem to gather his thoughts.

"Ok since the trial of the former Hand of my Father King Robert am I a better person than before ?I Know you watched me since I was born." Pycelle frowned , "I seem to recall -

Joffery interrupted , "Honesty is all I ask Grand Maester you be real and you have no need to fear my reaction." Joffery looked at his Queen Mother and saw how she looked back ,Joffery just shook his head at her as Pycelle spoke.

Pycelle "You have changed seemingly for the better but your way of speaking and how you do things your own way is disturbing. Tell me your grace how do you explain your defiance of your mother ?" Joffery paused then said , "I was meant to be a weapon for house Lannister but not a true king ,the decision making was for my dear mother and not me."Cersie hissed, "You see ? There you see he is disturbed !" Joffery shook his head " Mother, if you don't mind I will finish my answer before you accuse me of being the mad king Ares for gosh sakes! " Joffery cleared his throat and continued, "Then ,Grand Maester a funny thing happened on the way to that trial .I didn't break my fast as usual but walked over to the Sept and prayed .It occurred to me that I was a boy and now a King .I prayed for wisdom ,empathy and the power to bring peace to the realm. There is an old adage ,perhaps you know it Grand Maester ,be careful what You ask for ,you might just get it." Pycell nodded in agreement and listened he was now very interested."Go on your grace."

Joffery looked serious ," The first thing that happened was, I could feel what other people felt deeply, I could feel emotions as if they were my own. I went to see Sansa and I felt fear and loathing ,not mine but hers and pain, pain I caused her ! I excused myself and ran out I could not stop my tears and the massive sense of guilt for how I have treated her. Then as I walked to the trial ,I passed people and could feel what they were feeling without hearing a word from them. Then at once wisdom beyond my years, wisdom I had no business having flooded my thoughts , it was instantaneous. I had new ideas that made sense ,I saw two great houses in the realm at war and knew my decision could bring peace or blow up into an all out world war. Untold Thousands could die. So call me crazy but I want peace for the REALM which includes house Stark and House Lannister .Don't you see it's not only for us and our house but for all houses. I also love Sansa! Can you believe how she forgave me , who does that? Who forgives huh? No matter what you think Mother She is my She - Wolf ." Joffery looked his teary eyes at his Mother and said with a tear running down his cheek," That Maggie the Frog bitch was a liar" .Cersie looked wide eyed at Joffery . "That's right I know Mother, 'gold will be their crowns and gold will be their tombs ',so you think to protect us by sheltering us ,OK I get that, hmmm let me show you something."

Joffery called for a sharp dagger ,rolled up his sleeve and then stabbed his arm ,only the blade kept bouncing to one side or the other ,no mark ,no blood nothing.

Joffery "See I have a little something called an aura of invulnerability so Mother , I can't die by anyone's hand .No Gold tomb for me. Why do you think I am training Tommen and Myrcella in self defense, not only to make them living weapons but to be a good big brother to them at long last. To proactively protect them .They are learning Martial Arts which also has a calming and peaceful side to that discipline. They are learning be able to meditate and calm themselves in the midst of any storm man made or by nature. To learn the ways of peace and to ensure that they are harder to kill. Aww gee I love them Mother and will protect them .Now ask your questions? "

Cersie got up looked dazed after what she saw and what she heard Joffery explain ,it actually sounded sane .She walked over to Joffery and looked vulnerable. A tear ran down her face and she reached her arms out to Joffery who stood up and hugged her. She held onto her son and wept ,Joffery held her not expecting this reaction .They both cried for different reasons .

Cersie then let go, brushed way the wrinkles in her outfit , "Joffery I am sorry to have doubted you I ,I am I am proud of you my son." Joffery smiled "Thank you Mother " and walked out paused and turned "I love you Mom and smiled .I shall refer to you for now on as Mom" .He nodded to Grand Maester Pycelle and walked out he was on his way to chill out with his Uncle Tyrion. To have some Arbor Gold and jokes with Uncle Tyrion about all kinds of things and to talk about professional wrestling.

From Joffery Baratheon First of His name King and Protector of the Realm

To Lord Paramount of the North ,Warden of the North Eddard Stark

Dear Ned,

Because I trust you with this secret I will gladly tell you how I can lift up to 50 tons. I will tell you how I have an aura or light energy that surrounds my body making me invulnerable. I will tell you how I have super human healing and regenerative abilities. I will tell you how I am master of every hand to hand combat fighting discipline known to man . I will tell you how I can telepathically mind to mind talk with any animal air land and sea. I will tell you how I can run so fast everything else seems to be standing still. Finally I will tell you how I gave Sansa healing and regenerative ability and she too now has an aura of invulnerability. I know ,this sounds like of bragging but it is all true. I am from the stars .When you see me you see Joffery but only his body ,his mind is gone as if he were dead, my conscious mind is in Joffery. Joffery the miserable selfish fool you knew before ,his conscious was taken and put in the mind of an eagle on another world. I was a 60 year old professional wrestler on the planet earth. Unbeknownst to me a celestial being who calls herself Kerry Ann took me to her Ship up in the Stars. No magic but science, far advanced science from anything on my home world. She had a metal box which took my conscious mind from my body and placed it in Joffery Baratheon 's thirteen year old body, right at the moment that punk was going to rule on your testimony and admission of treason which was a lie to save the realm . This is a lot for you to think about .I will tell you more I await your reply. By the way also tell Maester Lewen to call the Raven I send Pal, I named him. Pal will understand.

Kind regards

King Joffery

Ned read that letter again and then rolled it up and put it in his desk. It was serious and if what Joffery has shared is true he was both honored he trusted him and worried about how much power he has. Now Ned would have a talk with Sansa and tell her to be careful.

Sansa was in her class when Ned asked for her help and brought her to his solar.

Sansa sat down and wondered how she could help her father.

Ned, "Now Sansa I know you love Joffery and we as a family are grateful for all he has done for us." Sansa looked at her father, "I know he loves me father ,look how he has helped us. We are home ,truly home. He sent me home too out of love for me don't you see?" Ned looked down ,she was convinced and how could he blame her but he needed to protect her. "Our King is indestructible-" Sansa Interrupts, "So am I father now so am I, sorry for stopping you but you needn't worry " Ned nods, "So Joffery told me in that raven he sent ." Sansa looked at her father eye to eye, "I love him father." Caitlyn Stark walked in and sat by Ned ,she looked at Sansa "'Sweetling' did you say you love King Joffery?" Sansa , " I do and he loves me. When he first kissed me ,well you should know a girl would know don't you think? It was an instant deep down feeling, I just knew that I knew " Caitlyn smiled then got serious again "How cruel he was towards you how can you even think that?"Sansa nodded and with a wry smile ,"Oh he knows too and I forgave him and he will spend the rest of time making it up to me." Ned smiled at that and Caitlyn laughed lightly then she asked ,"Sansa you really want to be Queen don't you?" Sansa did not miss a beat, "I want to be with Joffery." Caitlyn replied "Yes and you will give him heirs?" Sansa smiled and nodded then said seriously "I want to help him bring peace to the realm." Caitlyn still scoffed remembering how Joffery was, " You mean he wants the realm to himself and that's what he thinks is peace." Sansa's cheeks were red she said, "Gods no! He wants to get us all ready for the long night!" Caitlyn's eyes were wide, "Does he really believe that?" Ned said "Aye ",and handed Caitlyn the scroll Joffery sent him.
