AEGON

CASTERLY ROCK

After taking Casterly Rock many of the Western Lords swear fealty to Aegon. Lord Lefford is the first to bend the knee. Then Serret and all the others. One by one they come to Casterly Rock to bend the knee. Aegon had sent Tywin to the Martells days ago on the promise they would not give aid to the crown. Now he turns his attention towards the Reach. Aegon must defeat Randyl Tarlly on the battlefield as, such he uses his fire sight to look at Tarly's battle plans and how to counter them. Instead of having his army clustered in one place. The Reach armies are evenly spread throughout the Reach at each castle.

Aegon calls his banners to a meeting to discuss his plans. "I have it on good authority that Lord Tarly has divided his forces among the castles of the Reach..."

"If that is the case he can drag this war out for years if not months..." The Blackfish says.

"We will divide our forces evenly and attack each castle at the same time..." The meeting takes hours as Aegon chooses someone to lead the attack on each castle. Aegon himself will lead the attack on High Garden. After making his appointments Aegon tells them how to attack each castle. He tells them the weak spots and how to breech the castles. After the meeting a man approaches Aegon.

"My Lord...Jaime Lannister is asking for an audience with you..."

"Bring him to the solar..." An hour passes before Jaime is bought before him. "Leave us..."

"My father where is he? No one will tell me anything..."

"Your father is on his way to Dorne…"

"And why am I being left alive."

He stares at Jaime Lannister before answering, "Your brother will be returning soon...If I am to win his trust I can't start off by killing you."

"What does my brother have to do with you?"

"He will tell if he so desires upon his return..."

Aegon was not willing to reveal Tyrion's secret. He had already seen how Jaime would react upon learning the truth and it was Tyrion's truth to tell. After dismissing him Aegon gets ready for the march on High Garden. House Florent had already sworn fealty to Aegon in exchange for being named Wardens of the South in place of House Tyrell.

Marching from Casterly Rock Brynden Tully arrives at Old Oak with five thousand men. He attacks the castle after resting his troops for a day. Within four days they breech the castle and take it. The castles of High Garden, Cider Hall, Long Table, and Bitterbridge all sit along the river. The forces assigned to attack these castles reach them at the same time. As he did at the Twins Aegon leads the attack against High Garden. After two days of fighting they breach the castle using the secret passageway. Aegon and his bloodriders open the hunting gate and the gate to the gardens. The rest of his forces storm the castle and after twelve bloody hours the castle is taken. During the battle Loras Tyrell tries to attack Aegon from behind, but Aegon knowing what was coming turned at the last minute and beheaded him with one swing of his sword.

Tywin Lannister had the foresight to move his gold to the Bank of Braavos. The Tyrells did not and Aegon claims their wealth for himself. A few days later news arrives from Long Table. The castle belongs to Lord Royce. Then they receive word from Bitterbridge; it to had fallen. After Cider Hall surrenders the rest of the Reach surrenders to Aegon's forces. "Now we turn our attention towards the Capital..." Aegon says addressing his banners.

"Down with the false King Tommen..." Lord Forrester yells.

They all cheer, "This will not be an easy battle...Euron Greyjoy has joined forces with the Enemy..."

KING'S LANDING

TOMMEN

Tommen walks with his guards to council chambers near the throne room. When he arrives his Uncle Kevan, his mother Cersei, Lady Olenna, Dickon Tarly, Mace Tyrell, Euron Greyjoy are all waiting. "Your Grace..."

He sits down, "Let us begin...What is the situation?" He tries not to sound nervous, but no matter how much Tommen tries he can't keep the shakiness out of his voice.

"We have lost the reach and the Westerlands...As we speak Aegon is marching on the Capital with over fifty thousand men at his back..."

"So what we have wild fire..." Cersei says.

"And if misused will kill us as well as them...Besides he has a Dragon..."

"Any news on my grandson?" Olenna asks.

"None milady..."

"We conscript every able bodied man in the city and meet this Aegon on the battlefield..." Euron says.

"We don't have the time to train them properly..." Kaven counters.

"What do you recommend uncle?"

"We should surrender..."

"Coward!" Euron says. "This Aegon will feed us all to his Dragon..."

"Not of we ask for terms..."

Tommen sighs wondering what his Grandfather would do in this situation. "Train the conscripts and in the meantime send an emissary to negotiate a surrender..."

"And whom shall we send?" Lady Olenna asks.

AEGON PART II

ARYA

Arya and Gendry had finally returned to Westeros. The two had been sent by the council of Elders, after Arya convinced them that she and Gendry can serve the House of Black and White in Westeros with Jacqen's help of course. She had marked Cersei, Illyn Payne, and Grand Maester Pycel for death. First Cersei had to suffer and Arya would take away what Cersei loved same as Joffrey took her father away. Eddard Stark was innocent and died over a lie. So now Tommen who is innocent will die for vengeance.

Pycel is in his room when someone knocks on his door, he had sent for a whore. "Enter..." A beautiful young woman enters. "Very lovely...What is your name my girl..."

"Catelyn my lord...I bought this wine for you...Arbor gold...Shall we have a cup..."

"Arbor gold...Yes I'll take a cup..." It starts with a cough, there is blood in the cough. "What..." He watches as Catelyn removes her face.

"My name is Arya Stark of Winterfell...The Starks send their regards..."

He tries to call for help, but the poison he drank in his wine is known as the strangler. Pycel dies spitting up blood. She is joined by Gendry and together they remove his face and burn the body. While Gendry wears Maester Pycel's face; Arya takes the place of one of Cersei's handmaidens. Three days later they find Illyn Payne in his room dead. He had been beheaded and written in blood on the wall are the words; The North Remembers...

"I don't think the North or this Aegon would hire an assassin to kill Illyn Payne..." Olenna Tyrell says.

"People will do anything for revenge..." Kevan says.

"I have to agree with Lady Olenna...Why would the North or this Aegon employ such tactics...They are winning the war..."

"The King's safety should be our utmost concern..." Cersei says.

"So should your Queen's..." Olenna says looking at Cersei.

"Of course."

MARGAERY

"Well?" Margaery asks looking at Pycel.

"Congratulations Your Grace...You are with child..."

Tommen is with her, "I'm going to be a father..."

"We will host a feast..." Olenna, Cersei, Kevan, and Genna who had recently returned from Braavos are all invited. Mace is not present because he had been sent to negotiate with Aegon.

Tommen stands up tapping his goblet, "I have news...My beautiful Queen is carrying our child..."

"Congratulations!" The word is expressed by everyone at the meal. As he eats and drinks Tommen is given the poison the Eternal Sleep.

That night Tommen and Margaery lie in bed staring into each other's eyes. "I am going to be a better father to my child than my father was to me..."

She smiles, "I know...I am worried about this war and what will become of us..." She places her hand on her stomach, "...of our child; if Aegon takes the city or refuses terms..."

"He will accept...I am sure of it..."

Margaery awakens the next morning, "Good morning my King..." She says shaking him, but Tommen does not move. "My King..." She shakes him again, but he does not awaken. "Tommen! Tommen! Tommen!"

CERSEI

When Cersei awakens she finds a letter on her vanity...

Death comes for us all...But before it comes for you I want you to know the pain my family felt when your bastard Joffrey had my father Lord Eddard Stark beheaded. Like my father Tommen was innocent...With regards...

Arya Stark of Winterfell...

Her hands shake as the bells start ringing. Then the door opens and her Uncle Kevan Lannister stands in the door with teary eyes.

"How did he die?" Cersei asks standing beside Margaery as Maester Pycel examines Tommen's body.

"Poison...Known as the Eternal Sleep...He did not suffer...The poison takes effect after the victim falls asleep."

"My child will never know his father..." Margaery whispers.

"We can avenge him."

They look at each other, "Is it true what the letter said?" Cersei hands her the letter. "Do you think this was really done by Arya Stark?"

"I don't know...The Lannisters always pay their debts...Whoever did this...I will hunt them to the edges of the Earth and beyond if I must..."

"We have a common enemy...This person killed my husband and the father of my unborn child..."

Tommen lies in state and the entire city turns out for last rights of the King.

ARYA

Arya was going to kill Cersei next, but she decides to turn her attentions to Euron and Yara Greyjoy. By the time Arya comes up with a plan Mace Tyrell has returned to the city with terms of surrender. "King Tommen is dead..." Arya says wearing the face of an Iron Born. "...and now I hear that our allies. The Lannisters and the Tyrells have made a deal with this Aegon. Once again House Greyjoy leads us to ruin! I say it is time for new leadership...I say it is time we had a new King!"

"Who? You?"

"Yeah...Me...I am Tyan Blacktyde...Name me King or follow this fool to oblivion..."

Euron laughs and draws his axe, "You'll have to kill me..."

"With pleasure..." Tyan/Arya replies.

Tyan/Arya fights with two swords, while Euron fights with an axe. She draws first blood cutting Euron on the cheek. All across the deck of the ship they fight. Yara is present waiting to pounce on the loser, but Arya has other plans. When they separate Arya throws her left sword missing Euron and catches Yara in the chest killing her. Euron had been trained by a Braavosi sword-master. So had Arya and she had been trained by the Faceless Men. She stabs Euron in the gut and leans in whispering into his ear.

"The Starks send their regards..." As he falls to the deck of the ship Tyan/Arya looks around, "This is what happens when you shit for brains Iron Born step out of line...You didn't learn your lesson when you rebelled against King Robert..." They stare at each other in disbelief as Tyan removes his face. "Winter has come for House Greyjoy..." Then she runs across the deck and leaps into the water.

CERSEI

"Your Grace..." Maester Pycel says. The Handmaiden is present.

"What is it?"

"Euron and Yara Greyjoy are dead...The Iron Born are leaving..."

"Is that all?" She asks taking another drink of wine.

"Aegon's fleet has been spotted sailing pass Dragonstone."

She grunts, "Have you told my Uncle?"

"Not yet...There is one other matter..."

"What?"

"Your crimes against my family..." The Handmaiden says speaking up.

Cersei looks at her Handmaiden and Pycel as they remove their faces. "Remember me?" Arya asks.

"My name is Gendry...My father was King Robert..."

Cersei takes another drink with a shaky hand as she stares at the two of them.
