Chapter 7: Be Your Best

Game of Thrones: Season 2 - Lyra is held against her will at King's Landing, like her sister - Sansa. Unlike her sister Lyra finds it is not as bad as it seems.

I sat there on a seat next to Tommen at Joffrey's Name Day. Sansa sat closer as we celebrate Joffrey's Name Day by having a tournament for him. We see a competitor name Dog as he struck another competitor in the legs. "Well struck," Joffrey commented. "Well struck, Dog." He turns to Sansa and asks. "Did you like that?"

"It was well struck, your grace," she answers.

"I already said it was well struck," he says, angrily.

"Yes, your grace," she adds.

"Who's next?" He asks one of his guards.

"Lothor Brune - freerider in the service of Lord Baelish," his guard answers. "Ser Dontos the Red of House Hollard."

I looked around to see where this Ser Dontos is but could see him. "Ser Dontos the Red of House Hollard."

I hear a crash when a man enters looking drunk. "Here I am," Ser Dontos says. "Here I am. Sorry, your grace. My deepest apologies."

"Are you drunk?" I ask.

"No, my lady," He answers. I looked at him with a concern look. "I had two cups."

"Two cups?" Joffrey asks. "That's not much at all. Please have another."

"Are you sure, your grace?" Ser Dontos asks.

"Yes," Joffrey adds. "To celebrate my name day. Have as much as you like." I looked over to see Ser Dontos drink more wine as I looked at Joffrey with disgust. "Ser Meryn, help Dontos celebrate my name day. See that he drinks his fill." Ser Meryn nods and helps Dontos

"You can't," Sansa exclaims.

"What did you just say?" Joffrey asks. "Did you say 'I can't'?"

"I only meant to say it was bad luck to kill a man on your name day," she replies.

"What kind of stupid peasant's superstition," he comments.

"The girl is right," Sandor Clegane adds. "What a man sows on his name he reaps all year."

"Just take him away," Joffrey says to his guards. "I'll kill him tomorrow, the fool."

"He is," Sansa says, looking upset. "A fool. You are so clever to see it. He'll make a better fool than a knight. He doesn't deserve a mercy of a quick death."

"Did you hear my lady, Ser Dontos?" Joffrey asks. "From this day, you'll be my new fool."

"I'll be honoured, your grace," Ser Dontos says. He turns to me and says "And you, my lady, thank you."

I smiled as I saw Ser Dontos depart. I even had a bigger smile when Tyrion Lannister turned up. "Beloved nephew," he calls towards Joffrey. "We looked for you on the battlefields. You were nowhere to be found."

"I've been here, ruling the kingdoms," Joffrey says, angrily.

He looked displeased to see his uncle here. "What a fine job you've done," Tyrion comments. He looks towards Myrcella. "Look at you, more beautiful than ever." He then looks towards Tommen, who looked really happy now that Tyrion was here with us again. "And you! You-you're going to be bigger than the Hound, but much better looking." I notice the glimmer of hope in his eyes as he turns towards me. "Lady Lyra, what a pleasant surprise, you look as beautiful as always. I haven't seen you since Winterfell."

"I'm glad that you are here, Lord Tyrion," I add. "How was your trip?"

"Uneventful," he replies. "Nearly got pushed off a tower."

He looks towards Joffrey who looked angry. "This one doesn't like me much. Can't imagine why."

"We heard you were dead," Cersei says, making Tyrion look at her with distaste.

"I'm glad you're not dead," Myrcella adds

"Me too, dear," Tyrion says to Myrcella. "Death is so boring, especially now with so much more excitement in the world."

One of the men who was in the tournament walks up towards Sansa and I. "I'm sorry for your loss, my ladies," he says.

"Their loss?" Tyrion questioned.

"Their father was a confessed traitor," Joffrey injected.

"But still their father," Tyrion says. "Surely having so recently lost your own father you can sympathise."

I stood up and say, "I'm sorry but I need to leave. Please excuse me."

I left in tears. I knew that Joffrey never had a heart but I didn't know how damaged his heart was. I found myself heading towards my chambers and continued heading towards my chambers. As soon as I opened the door I collapsed on the floor in tears. I missed my father and my family very much. I wanted them back.

Yay, I officially upload the first chapter in the second season. Sorry about the last chapter being short through. I wanted to have a bit of a short chapter just to summarise what is going to be happening in this season. Speaking of which, I'm not writing a third season of this story (sorry) but there will be a chapter summarising about what is happening between Tommen and Lyra.

SPOILERS: I have heard that Tommen dead in the last episode :( but I'm blaming his mother. She's full on evil (worse than Maleficent on Sleeping Beauty). I found it sad really. I don't know if I want Tommen to die in this fanfic but I want to know if you guys want him to or not depending on the direction I'm taking this. There WILL be the High Sparrow in this and Margaery later on but as I said there wouldn't be any Tommen/Margaery.

What about that R+L=J reveal? I couldn't believe it. Jon and Daenerys are both actually related. It is astounding and technically him and Daenerys are in line for the Iron Throne. Sort of hoping that Arya kills Cersei in the end or perhaps Jamie or Tyrion. Probably Jamie :).

Margaery will be more portrayed as a villain as well in this fanfic. She'll be a friend at first but then a villain (if you know what happened in season four).

But yeah, what do you guys think? Do you think Tommen would die in this fanfic? How would that affect both Sansa and Lyra - in particular Lyra? Even if he doesn't die, I've got a couple othings up my sleeve for him and Lyra (involving Winterfell :)).

Anyway I've got to write a few more chapters until I end season two so it will take a bit of time to upload. I'll be spending time writing on it tomorrow. I think after the season three chapter - I'll be having a bit of a break. I've got some competitions coming up in July, August, October and November. So September I'll be writing season four (only half way). Then December will be my birthday, the major operation (I wouldn't be able to write as I'll be on my back most of the time sadly for a few months) and CHRISTMAS (My fav time of year). Hopefully I'll be able to write the rest of season four during the summer or in my hospital bed.

Anyway remember to fav and review. I promise I'll have a bit longer chapters soon :)
