A.N- I hope you like it. I'm trying very hard to make it perfect but I know it is not. Constructive criticism is more than welcome. I'm begging for it!... When do you think they will add Mira Forrester and Rickard Morgryn? I really don't like not having the story Characters labeled.. I'm also making the stories longer. Slowly but surely.

~~IronRath~~

Asher rush out the door of his keep and down the stairs. Duncan and Beskha joining his as he headed to the gate. His men at the ready, all looking nervous. He couldn't blame them, his own heart felt like it could jump out of his chest any moment. His mother and sister, Talia, joining him at the gate.

"Mira told us he was gathering an army. We have her to thank it's not bigger! But my Lord, I can't see us fighting that!" Duncan said siding up to Asher.

"Ludd doesn't expect us to. He's trying to frighten us into surrender…" Asher stated as he watch the soldiers outside his gate. Some of his men came up to him. "I want every bolt aimed at Ludd Whitehill, the moment he appears!" He yelled to everyone.

Asher watched as Ludd, Gryff, and his lacky holding Ryon rode up. "Ryon?! Shit! Crossbows up!" Asher pushed a soldier by him, bow down. Everyone else fallowed.

"Asher Forrester! Show your face, boy!" Ludd yelled stopping 10 feet from the gate with Ryon to his right and Gryff to his left. Asher heard his sister and mother call out to Ryon.

Gryff started laughing, "Look father! He's frightened, aren't you?!" He yelled glaring at Asher. Asher paid no mind to him and glared levelly at Ludd.

"Are you here to sue for peace, Lord Whitehill?" Asher smiled with his winning cocky grin. "Lay down your arms and I'll spare your lives." Ludd busted out laughing.

"That's very funny. I've missed your unique sense of humor. But no…" Ludd glared back, no longer laughing or even smirking. "I'm here to end this once and for all…" Ludd waved his hand around seemly annoyed. "You got your little revenge on my men… But it's time you listened to reason." The waving stoped and Asher noticed a huge gate ram rolling his way, being pushed by maybe 20 men. "I could ram your gates down and kill every last one of you. Or…" Ludd held his hand up and the ram stopped behind him. "We could end the bloodshed, here and now…"

Asher scoffed and spat at the gate. Ludd was clearly not amused anymore. "This war is over Asher! It ended the moment Rodrik fell." Ludd smiled smugly. "By Ramsay's Rules I'm the Victor here. This will all be mine now. One way or another." Asher's mind turned to Mira at Kings Landing. 'If we all fall, it all goes to her…' Asher's faces darkened. 'They will not have her…' he thought.

"Oh, this is horse shit! Tell him to fuck off!" Beskha yelled grabbing everyone's attention outside the gate. Asher smiled, he trusted her whole heartedly.

"My brother's death is on his hand's! Believe me, the bloodshed has only begun…" Asher said raising his hand. His men raised there bows ready for Asher to give the signal.

"Do you know what? We've spilled so much Forrester blood already Asher. You're the one who's missed all the fun! It's only begun! When you're gone, Little Mira will be mine!" Gryff laughed, clearly missing his sanity. "And I won't be kind!" Ludd smiled to his son then looked to Asher. The death glare Asher gave Gryff was truly frightening. If Ludd hadn't had his army in the fields he might have retreated.

"Enough!" Ludd yelled to Gryff. "Let's put all this ugliness behind us. I'm willing to talk terms of your surrender…" Ludd's horse peranced nervously, sensing Ludd's nerves.

"SURRENDER?!" Asher yelled slaming his fist on the metal bars of the gate, shaking it.

Ludd continued, "Open your halls and bend the knee, as my bannermen. You continue to produce ironwood. Under MY supervision, of course…" He looked to Gryff. His son looked away, angry at Ludd. "And you will join your house to mine… For all to see, by wedding.." Ludd pasued. Asher's face never changing. He looked like a caged animal, ready to kill the first chance it gets. "My Gwyn…" Asher's face changed completely. Ludd thought that must be a good sign. And smiled.

"Beskha laughed, and he could hear the protest behind him. "Well fuck me.." Beskha said. They Maester was saying that it was a generous offer. Asher wasn't buying it.

"That would be easier to believe coming from Gwun herself! So Where is she?!" Asher yelled returning to his glaring at Ludd murderously.

Ludd's smile left again, "Far away from all of this, ofcourse. Besides, I speak on her behalf as her Father…" Ludd pulled his horse to pace the length of the gate back and forth. "I would just as happily kill you all and be done with it. Little Mira could join our houses when she inherits Iornrath!" He knew bringing that up might be risking with Asher's bow men still aiming at him. He stopped the horse. "But I'm very generously giving you a way to keep your bloody lives!" He yelled his face turning red.

A cart was pushed up the hill, "Oh, one last thing. As a show of my "goodwill," I've brought home the body of your Lord…" Asher looked to the cart, eyes never softening. "Your brother was too stubborn to know when it was over!"

Ryon began to struggle. "Rodrik?!" He elbowed the man in the face and nearly fell off the horse. "Let me see him! I want to see my brother!" Ryon was righted back onto the horse but bite the man still struggling. Gryff smiled smugly.

"I'm sure your sister would be relieved to keep her virtue… For now." Asher glared at Gryff, but didn't say a things. He didn't have too. Ryon still struggled and somehow got the soldiers helmet that lay on the horse saddle. He flung it at Gryff. He didn't know what hit him. Asher almost couldn't hold in he laughter. Laughting at that point might not have been good, but boy did Asher smile.

Ludd was not laughting or smiling, "You have an hour! I'll be waiting in my camp!" Gryff glared at Ryon and started down the hill. Ryon stopped and turned to look at Asher. They stared at each other for as long as they could. When they got far enough away from the gate, Asher signaled for them to bring the cart in.

Rodrik was covered in a blood sheet, Asher almost didn't want to see. He pulled it off anyway. A collection of gasps, cries, and angry words reached Asher's ears. Beskha placed a hand on his shoulder, "I'm sorry, little brother…" Asher walked off.

"Maester, take my brother's body. He will join Father and ethan…" Maester answered but Asher moved on before he could continue. Beskha and Duncan fallowed. "Duncan, have Maester prepare poisoned wine… I'll kill Ludd in my hall tonight. Send word to Ludd that we will agree and that we want to open our halls to celebrate." Duncan smiled nodded and left to prepare. "Wait half the hour to send someone to Ludd… Don't want to be to eager." Duncan nodded again and continued.

"Asher whats the plan?" She asked fallowing him inside.

"Simple, we cut the head off that snake and watch the other's scatter. But I need you to do something else, Beskha, please." Asher stopped in the great hall. "If everything doesn't work I want you to get Ryon out and Find Mira. Please."

Beskha smiled sadly, "If it comes to that I will… but what about Talia?" Asher rubbed his head.

"Yes nearly forgot, If you could hand her as well? But I want Ryon to be your top priority. One of my men can handle Talia if you can't find her in the chaos..." Asher held his hand out to Beskha with a very large bag of gold. Beskha smiled and grabbed his hand.

"Like I said Asher, if it comes to that."

~~King's Landing~~

Mira walked to her room in thought. 'What am I going to do?... I have to find who is saying those things…' She looked up and saw Tom looking down the hall to her room from the corner.

He looked up to her, "Lady Mira!" He softly yelled rushing up to her. "Wait!" He said stopping Mira from going anymore.

"Tom?! What's wrong?" Mira said, Tom tried to hush her.

"Guards! They're trying to search your room!" He said. Mira moved past Tom to spy herself. She saw two Lannister soldier's kicking in her door. Mira gasped and hide herself when the guard looked her way.

"We can't stay here!" Tom grabbed Mira's hand and started down the hall. Mira had many questions, but Tom seemed to have the answered. "It's all over the keep, M' lady! They're saying you take Lannister men to your bed and murder them in their sleep!"

Mira stopped losing Tom's grip, "What?!" Mira could feel her face heat up from inbarassment. "That's ridiculous! I don't know the first thing about… THAT!" Tom turned, his own face red.

"It'd be ridiculous, M' lady, if soldiers weren't smashing in your door!" Tom looked angrily at his feet.

"But why are we now just finding out about these Rumors?!" Mira asked. She started walking again, she didn't want to draw to much attendtion it herself.

"Someone sent the Captain of the Guard a message about you!" Mira looked at Tom as he spoke. 'Lucan? It couldn't be Cersei right?' she thought. "It was dropped off Anonymously! It was most likely Murder accusations."

'I have no Protection, what am I going to do?..' she thought as she walked with Tom. "If they catch us want would happen?" she asked.

"I don't want to think about it, M'Lady…" She got her answer from Tom's grime face, 'Nothing good, nothing that ends with her life still going…' "We need to stay by Lady Margaery! She can protect us!"

"No.." Mira said.

"What?! Have you lost you mind?!" Tom yelled at her.

"I must handle this on my own!" She said walking with her head high.

Tom's Angry face stopped Mira. "Without her, you will die!" He stated.

Mira grabs him and shakes his some, "Calm down, Tom! Panicking isn't going to help!"

"I'm sorry, Mira. I just don't know what I could do to help you. Mira thought as she let Tom go.

"Ironrath!" She said having an idea. "We can some how get to Ironrath. We will be safe there." Tom smiled, a blush coming to his face.

"We could go to the Collier's Store by the River Gate! I know the family, they can help us!" Mira smiled. She looked around and say some guards coming their way. She pushed Tom to a Corner to hid but they must have saw her.

"Who's there?!" One said. Mira and Tom looked to each other, praying that they leave. "Show yourself, or it'll be worse for you!" Mira felt close to tears. 'What are we going to do.'

"Get to the Collier's. Tell Godwyn I sent you!" Tom pushed himself off the wall.

"What ar-"

"Goodbye Lady Mira." Tom smiles and runs to the guards. He pushes one over and then the guards give chase.

"Get the coal boy!"

Mira took the time to make her way out of the keeps. She could see guards out on the streets. So cut to a street and started speed walking. She was so focused on getting to the other end she didn't realize Lord Rickard Morgryn was at the end of the street with some of his men. His Litter sat on the floor behind him. He looked up after sending off a man that held a very nice look vase. He smiled when he saw her.

"Lady Mira!" He waved to her. A Guard took that moment to yell.

"There she is! Take her!" the rushed down the alley toward her.

"What's all this?" Morgryn said looking confused at the whole thing.

Mira huffed out of breath, "Lord Morgryn!" She reached out and placed her hand on his chest. The look he gave was very comical but now was not a time to laugh. "How lovely to run into you." She hugged his arm to her chest. She blushed and looked at the guards coming toward them. Lord Morgryn seemly too shocked. He looked down at her. She barely coming up to his shoulder.

She squeezed his arm, 'He can feel my heart! God's help me!' she thought leaning her head on his arm. Morgryn got his composter back and glared at the guards.

"Mira Forrester! You're coming with us!"
