HOUSE GREYJOY

YARA

Yara mourns the death of her brother Theon. Word had been sent that he was burned alive at the stake. Thinking about it bought up many regrets; the way she and her father had treated Theon had driven him to try to prove himself by taking Winterfell. After taking the castle both Yara and her father refused to help Theon hold the castle. It led to his capture and torture at the hands of Ramesey Snow and his death by fire at the hands of Jon Snow or Aegon Targaryen as he now called himself. "I will avenge you brother I swear by the Drowned god..."

The door opens and in walks her father Balon Greyjoy, "I summoned you hours ago!"

She looks at him, "Fuck you Old Man..."

"Watch your tongue girl...I am your father..."

Yara stands up, "You are the worst Father in the history of fathers...Theon! Maron! Rodrik! Victarion! All dead...My mother mourned herself to death...All because Balon Greyjoy wanted a crown...Hail the King of the Iron Islands..."

"Yara!" She pauses by the door, "Your Uncle Euron is back..."

"Good for him..." She leaves Castle Pyke to seek her Uncle out. She finds him on Blacktyde Island. "Uncle Euron...I heard you were back."

"Well...well...well...My little niece Yara...and all grown up. If you weren't my niece I would have a go at ya..."

"I'm sure you would...I hear you are trying to rally lords and captains to your side..."

"I am..."

She drops to one knee, "I bring thirty Captains and House Harlaw...If you help me get revenge on that Targaryen bastard..."

He smiles, "Rise my niece..." It doesn't take much to convince the Iron Lords that new leadership is needed, especially with Yara's help.

A few days later Euron and Yara confront Balon in the main hall. "What is the meaning of this?" Balon asks after entering the main hall.

"A change in leadership..." Yara says. Euron walks up to Balon and stabs him in the gut. "What are you doing?" She asks running up to her Uncle.

"He's too dangerous to be left alive..."

"You said we would lock him away."

"Iron Born does not kill Iron Born..." Rodrik Harlaw Yara's Uncle by her mother says.

Yara holds her anger inside and stops her men from drawing their swords on Euron. She hated her father and the ruin he bought to her House, but she didn't want to kill him. She convinces her Uncle and Captains to give Euron their full support. After being crowned King Euron orders the Iron Born to start building a thousand ships.

"We are going to King's Landing to fight for King Tommen..." He announces to the Iron Born Lords.

"Why they are losing..." The Reader Rodrik Harlaw asks. "Tywin Lannister has been captured along with Jaime Lannister...This Aegon has taken Casterly Rock...He will most likely march on High Garden next and cripple the power of the Iron Throne for good..."

"That is why we will help King Tommen...and after we have captured this Aegon and killed him we will turn on King Tommen and support Daenarys Targaryen...She will be my Queen and I her King..."

It was a good plan, but Yara had other plans and when the time is right she would strike. Euron decides to divide his forces and sends Yara North with half the fleet to attack Gull Town and White Harbor. The entire fleet sails out to sea before turning South. They sail around the coast and into the narrow sea. Euron waits in the STeps Stones while Yara sails on North. When they arrive the attack is immediately ordered. They bombard the city and the fleet in dock catching them by surprise. Or so the Iron believe. Aegon had sent word to Gulltown and White Harbor of the impending attack and how to prepare for it.

The ships in port are actually merchant ships and fishing vessels made to look like the fleet. The actual fleet of the Vale is hiding off the coast of Essos many miles south of Braavos. The White Harbor fleet or those ships that had been built and manned with crews is hiding on the North side of Widow's Watch. The ships in dock are actually merchant and fishing vessels. In both cases the cities offered no offense against the attackers.

"I think they knew we were coming and that is why we saw no counter attacks from either city..." Rodrik says to his niece.

"Yes I know...But we will not tell my Uncle this..."

"And what if he has spies on board our ships..."

"To avoid suspicion we will send out a ship to scout for the enemy, but the ship will only have people on it loyal to us...They will report back that they did not find the enemy..."

After returning to Euron in the Step Stones they sail to King's Landing. It is Kevan Lannister who meets with Euron Greyjoy aboard his ship, "I am Kevan Lannister I serve as Hand of the King..."

"We have come to fight for the crown on the condition that we be given our independence..." Euron says after guest rights are observed.

"Independence...I will have to discuss this with the King and his other advisors..."

"What is there to discuss...You have what? Two armies left...One here and the other at High Garden and as we speak Aegon is marching on High Garden...I am your last hope..."

"Even so I must discuss this with the King and the small council..." After hours of debate everyone agrees and Tommen condones the alliance. With the Iron Born as an ally the Lannister may yet survive the war. But neither side trusts the other completely and Kevan has his men watch Euron Greyjoy for the slightest hint of betrayal.
