Chapter 17: Two Words

FLASHBACK -CERSEI LANNISTER'S POV

I walked with my friend - Melara Hetherspoon in the forest as we headed towards Maggy the Frog's so called "home". "We shouldn't be out here alone," she says.

"Why not?" I asked.

"If your father..." She says.

I turned around towards Melara. "He'll never know we're gone," I butted in.

"But if he finds..." She adds.

"You don't need to be afraid of my father," I said to her as I held her hands.

The insects buzzed as we headed towards Maggy the Frog's "home". "Are you sure?" She asked.

"Yes," I replied. We inch closer towards Maggy the Frog's home - more like a hut. "We shouldn't go in," Melara says as I moved the leaves aside.

"Of course we should," I said.

As we stepped inside her but we heard insects buzzing as I see the woman screeches, shrieks and gasps. "Get out," she shrieks at us.

"Let's go," Melara says, as she grabs my arm.

"No," I said.

"Listen to your friend," Maggy says.

"They said you were terrifying with cat's teeth and three eyes," I said. "You're not terrifying. You're boring."

"You don't know what I am," she says.

"I know you are a witch and you can see the future," I said. "Tell me mine."

"Everyone wants to know their future until they know their future," she says.

"This is my father's land," I said. "My land. Tell me my future or I'll have your two boring eyes gouged out of your head."

She chuckles. "Your blood," she adds. "Give me a taste."

Maggy the Frog hands me dirty knife as I put the knife into one of my finger tips as I whimper as the knife digs into my finger tips and I take the knife out as my finger oozes with blood. I give my finger to Maggy the Frog to suck on. She sucks my finger like a baby sucks a breast for breast milk. As she finishes sucking she says, "Three questions you get. You wouldn't like the answers."

"I've been promised to the prince," I said. "When will we be married?"

"You will never wed a prince," she says. "You will wed a King."

"But will I be queen?" I asked.

"Oh yes," she replies. "You'll be queen for a time. Then comes a time another, younger, more beautiful to cast you down and take all you hold dear."

"Will the King and I have children?" I asked.

"No," she replies. "The King will have twenty children and you will have three."

"That doesn't make sense," I muttered.

"Gold will be their crowns," she adds. "Two golds will be be their shrouds. One will have the power to betray you - he will be your downfall. He will take everything you have and everything you will have. He will destroy you." She laughs.

"Come on," Melara says. "We have to go."

PRESENT DAY - LYRA STARK'S POV - A FEW DAYS AFTER TYRION'S ESCAPE AND TYWIN'S AND SHAE'S DEATH

I walked into the Sept of Baelor arm in arm with Tommen as we paid our respects to Lord Tywin - the former Hand of the King. I looked over sadly at his dead body - it was one of those deaths that nobody expected not even me but I did expect Tyrion was behind this disgusting act of treachery. I wondered if this was what my mother's and my brother's bodies would look like. I looked over at Tommen who did not look particularly sad - more calm and collected by this point - maybe he was used to it with Joffrey's death that occurred a few moons ago or that he knew that it would happen.

After finding out about my handmaiden's death - Shae and Lord Tywin's death, I had all meals with Tommen now - nobody else. Nobody insisted to join us. I knew that Jamie went to Dorne to fetch Myrcella whom I missed dearly. I hoped that Tystane would come as well. I begged to Tommen to let me go to Dorne with Jamie and Bronn but he insisted that I stay here. Once Jamie left for Dorne, I spent time with my handmaidens - I also promoted two of my handmaidens to head-handmaiden (which I sort of call it) - Mira Forrester and Shailene Waters. I spent time organising the wedding with Tommen.

Lately, after Tywin's death, I found Cersei's mood had soured. She started not to like me anymore. She treated me like how she treated Sansa and Margaery. Speaking of Margaery, she stopped pestering and bullying me now. Her mood changed dramatically and she became one of my closest allies (apart from Tommen) in King's Landing. I was surprised at her apology but I think she came to realise that she was a tad bit wrong about the argument about wanting to be betrothed to Tommen.

Also speaking of Tommen, he did become distant for a few days. He shut himself off from the world but soon opened the world. I think he knew that Lord Tywin did not take well of becoming Hand of the King. He also has a huge decision to make - who would be Hand of the King next? I had minor hope that Kevan Lannister would be. Kevan has a kind heart especially towards me as a Stark. He gave his condolences to me about my mother and my brother a few days before Joffrey's wedding.

Anyway, I walked around Lord Tywin's body as I saw Margaery enter. I gave Lady Margaery a small wave. "I didn't realise you were friends with Margaery now," Tommen adds.

"There's a lot you don't realise," I teased.

He smiled as he was about to say something before being interrupted by Queen Regent Cersei Lannister.

"I'm sorry about Lord Tywin, your grace," I said. She looks displease. "I must take my leave. I'll see you later, Tommen."

I walked off as I see Kevan and Lancel Lannister. "Lancel," I called out. "Kevan!" Lancel and Kevan turn around and walk over to greet me.

"Lady Lyra," Kevan says. "My you have grown. You look just like your aunt Lyanna at her age."

"It is a pleasure to see you again, my lady," Lancel says.

"Lancel, there's no need for formalities," I added. "We are going to be family soon."

"Ahah, yes," Kevan says. "The wedding of the Stag and the Wolf."

"I hope that you and Lancel stay for the wedding," I added. "I would appreciate it."

"We are in fact staying for the wedding," Lancel says. "I especially look forward to the union of the two enemies becoming allies. But sadly I must take my leave, Lyra. I'm meeting with the Sparrows."

"What are the Sparrows?" I asked, curiously.

"The Sparrows are smallfolk," he answers. "Surely you must have heard of the High Sparrow?

I never heard of a man named the High Sparrow. "He must be a very nice man," I added. "He must be treated with respect from his followers."

"From what I heard he is respects his belief that we share," he says. "Share among everyone - equally sharing. Gold or no gold. Rich or not rich."

"Indeed, he sounds like a nice fellow," I added. "I must take my leave. My handmaidens and I are organising a few things before the wedding in a few days. It was a pleasure seeing you, Lancel and Kevan again."

"It's a pleasure seeing you as well, my lady," Kevan says.

As for Margaery - I wanted Margaery to have a kind heart now. She will become more of a mother figure to Lyra (as she is older and more wiser than her). Lyra will be referring to Margaery more instead of Cersei because Cersei is threaten by Lyra now.

As for the High Sparrow - I wanted the High Sparrow to be more kinder and generous towards Lyra. There is a cliffhanger at the end of season 5 chapters, but She WOULDN'T do her walk of atonement.

Also Cersei - I'm portraying her more like what Lena Headey portrays Cersei now. I hope you guys accept that.

I'm also writing a new fanfic - it's called "I Can't Take It In". It's a crossover between Chronicles of Narnia and Game of Thrones. Once I upload the fanfic, I hope you guys can read it and enjoy it.

Remember to Fav/Review. Thanks guys.
