8. Weddings and War

Lara was preparing her daughter for her wedding to Seraf. They will be at war soon and the sooner they get married, the better. Visenya Ann's dress was white with black and red swirls, just as Lara's wedding dress once was. "This is beautiful, mother", said Visenya Ann. "Of course it is, because you are wearing it", said Lara. Visenya Ann blushed at her mother's comment. "I wish father is here", said Visenya Ann. "I know, but remember why we left", said Lara. "To protect him, to protect Westeros and Winterfell", said Visenya Ann.

Luna came in, bearing a brown wooden box. She set it on the vanity table and Lara opened it, revealing a golden crown with 10 different gems of all sorts of colours. "This is a Necromancer crown, worn only by Necromancer witches. This was mine and now, I'm handing it over to you", said Lara as she placed the crown on Visenya Ann's head. With a snap of fingers, a veil of 10 strings full of gems like the ones on the crown appeared at the back of the crown. "There, now it is complete", said Lara.

"Come on, now. We must not let everyone wait", said Luna. The trio went out and saw Rhaegar II in his tunic, pants and cloak with the Targaryen sigil. Luna and Wolfe went out first with Lara right behind them. Rhaegar II escorted his sister to the altar. Visenya Ann will be wedded according to Seraf's custom. At the end of the altar were Seraf, Viserys IV and his bride, the emperor's niece whom Viserys IV had fallen in love with named Princess Yen.

The ceremony was attended by Rounins and the royal family. At the end of the day, after everyone had left, Viserys IV and Princess Yen returned to the palace while Seraf and Visenya Ann went for a walk at the beach. The rest of the Rounins went back into hiding. Lara bid farewell to her first-born son while Luna and Wolfe spent their last night together before leaving for war tomorrow.

(The next day)

(Imagine during the war, the Game of Throne opening theme is on loud speaker :D)

All Rounin had arrived at Pyke Island. Rhaegar II was told the war plan when he met the emperor at his siblings' weddings. He had laid out the entire plan to Jon, Robb and Theon. When Luna arrived, she was greeted by Sansa running towards her and hugged her. "Ma, we've missed you", said Sansa with tears. "Hush now, Sansa. I'm here", said Luna. Sansa released her embrace and she and Theon noticed a man next to Seraf who looked like an older version of Seraf.

"Who is he, Ma? Why does he looked like Seraf?", asked Theon. "That, Theon, is Seraf's father, Wolfe", said Luna. Theon and Sansa studied Seraf and Wolfe. "An uncanny resemblance", said Theon. "Wolfe? Ironic, since Seraf grew up alongside us", said Sansa. "Why we never see you before?", asked Theon. "This is not the time for 20 questions, Greyjoy. We have a war to fight", said Seraf, annoyed. "You're like a brother to me. I'm merely inquiring", said Theon. Seraf smirked – he had missed Theon's cockiness. The two of them embraced like brothers.

Luna, Wolfe, Seraf, Theon and all Rounin leaders moved into the castle while the rest camped outside and Sansa went to safeguard her children. "So, is everyone clear about what it needs to be done?", asked Aaron, the Head of all Rounin. "I received words from Kia. Belial, the leader of The Antipodean is gathering a mass army at King's Landing. Everyone is fleeing and they plan to attack Westerland. Tyrion and Joffrey are putting up an army to hold up the defense, but it won't be enough. Robb is calling all Winterfell's bannermen and I'm here, gathering the navy and watching out for any of them trying to cross the border, but then again the Night's Watch would give them the fiery arrows if they try to cross over", Theon explained.

"I'll have the Rounins to scatter everywhere. Every leader will be at one province each, finishing them off separately. Since Wolfe and Seraf's power sources are water, they'll stay with Theon. Luna, I want you to evoke them at Westerlands. Draw them out with the shadows", said Aaron, "The emperor will send his back-up soon".

Alexei – the Fourth Rounin Leader kissed Luna's forehead. "Be safe, my daughter", said Alexei. "I will, father. You be careful at Eyrie", said Luna. Then, he turned to his grandson and soon to-be son-in-law. "Seraf, be careful. Wolfe, look after him!", said Alexei. The father and son could only nod. Alexei teleported to Eyrie with his Rounin division as all other Rounin leaders did, leaving Luna, Seraf, Wolfe and their Rounin shadows at Pyke. Luna bid farewell to Theon and Sansa. She kissed Seraf's forehead and wished him luck. Finally, she kissed Wolfe and he said, "When this is over, you promised to be my wife. I will make that come true". Luna sobbed a little before teleporting to Westerlands to meet up with Tyrion and Joffrey.

(When the war begins)

The plain was empty at first. Tyrion and Joffrey stood at the front lines with the Lannister army at their back. Joffrey made a promise to his betrothed – Lady Margaery Tyrell that he would return and they would be man and wife. "Are you afraid, Joff?", asked Tyrion. "Should I?", Joffrey asked back. "We all should be afraid", said Luna, appearing next to them. She let her dragon Black off her shoulder and it transformed to full size.

"Where are the back-ups?", asked Tyrion. Luna didn't answer, but merely looking up towards the sky. The clouds were roaring with thunders and lightning. Then, at the opposite, a mass army of The Antipodean is marching forward. "Are you sure about this, my lady?", asked Joffrey. "I am. All of you will stay here. If I am slain, you will fight for your freedom", said Luna.

Luna ascended Black and they took off, charging forward as The Antipodean charged forward as well. Luna raised her shadow army and they too charged forward. Belial, who was on his horse smiled and thought he will win this just as easy as Luna beat the Lannisters army once upon a time, but he was wrong. From the skies, dragons of all elements flew down and burn the field in which was soak with oil, thanks to Tyrion. Joffrey was awed by the dragon army that descended down from the skies. Almost all soldiers were burned to death.

Fighting ensued. Luna jumped down and fought alongside her shadows. Then, a quarter of what is left was washed away by Seraf's tsunami water attack, who had appeared from Kayce. Belial knew Seraf couldn't use much of his powers, so he sent another wave of army, larger than the first one. Luna gulped. The second wave had the invention – the one that spits fire and nearly maimed Seraf's leg. She promised herself she wouldn't do it, but she had no choice.

Luna closed her eyes and meditated. She called her inner dragon and there was no turning back on this. When she opened her eyes, they were black with purple irises. Joffrey and Tyrion had seen this a few years ago. "BELIAL!", Luna's inner dragon bellowed at the plain and the voice itself had the second wave halted their movement. "Do not fear her!", Belial yelled, "ATTACK!". The soldiers charged forward, but most of them were slain by Luna's sword that grew out black and amethyst auras.

"BELIAL! COME HERE, YOU COWARD!", the dragon shouted again. Seraf knew her mother would never return to her old self once the inner dragon took over, but he knew that this was the only way. Belial charged forward to fight Luna, but a thunder strike prevented him from doing so. Descended from the sky was Emperor Shinzi himself, with his blue thunder dragon and from behind Lannister army, the Nether Kingdom army charged forward. Tyrion gave a nod and Joffrey yelled, "Men, charge!". He raised his sword – the one given by his father and led the Lannister army to battle.

The fight lasted hours. All of The Antipodean soldiers were dead, leaving Belial standing, fighting Luna's inner dragon, who was not even breaking a sweat. Joffrey pulled out his sword from the last soldier, who was bleeding to death. All the dragons had heed Black's roaring order to stand down. Everyone witnessed as the inner dragon put Belial down to his knees. "You won't win. The soldiers will destroy all Rounins. Even if I die, there must be someone to continue on our legacy", said Belial.

"That is where you are wrong", said Emperor Shinzi. Suddenly, a white dragon flew from the sky, carrying Luna's sisters, Morgana and Morgause from Fortuna. When they landed, they brought a sack with them. Morgana stepped forward and threw the sack. The sack fall in front of Belial and a head rolled over to him. It was his king, Frederick Clyde. "Fortuna has been conquered, Your Majesty", said Morgause. Then, Elaine, Azreal and Luther arrived – bearing the news that northern Westeros had achieved victory. After that, Rhaegar II and Viserys IV arrived from the south and said that they had achieved victory as well. All traitors, including Rhaella and Raenys had been captured. Aaron arrived via teleportation and said Ten Nations has surrendered.

"Fortuna and Ten Nations are under my command and you are my hostage of war", said Emperor Shinzi, "Luna, end him as befits it". The inner dragon raised her sword and beheaded Belial. "VICTORY!", yelled Joffrey and everyone chanted the same. The inner dragon closed her eyes and returned as Luna, but since she used too much strength, she collapsed. Seraf, Elaine, Joffrey, Aaron, Rhaegar II, Viserys IV, Morgana and Morgause ran towards her. Elaine knelt beside Luna and tried to heal her, but Luna held her back. "No more", said Luna, weakly.

"My lady, please let her heal you", said Joffrey. "You've changed, Joffrey. I'm proud of you. Look after your family", said Luna. "Sister, please, don't do this", said Morgana, sobbing. "Mother, you promised father, remember?", said Seraf. Azreal disappeared and reappeared with a dislocated shoulder Wolfe. When he saw Luna, he ran for her. "She won't let Elaine heal her", said Morgause. "Luna, please, I can't go on with life without you", said Wolfe. "Sooner or later, we all are going to die", said Luna. "But not necessarily at the time like this!", said Elaine, angrily.

"We made a promise, remember? I would make you my wife after we end this war. It's over now. Let Elaine heal you", said Wolfe. Elaine ignored Luna's protest and grabbed her wrist, but to her horror, she knew Luna was right. "She has spent all her life energy and using the inner dragon has exhausted everything. She has minutes now", said Elaine, sadly. "Can't you cure her?!", said Morgana. "I'm afraid not. Forgive me", said Elaine as she too began to cry. Luther pulled her into his arms and let her cry. Theon, who arrived via his war ship saw the commotion and ran towards them.

He saw Luna was dying. He dropped to his knees and tears flooded his eyes. "Greyjoy, come here", Luna called upon Theon. Theon approached her and held her hand. "Take care of Sansa and Robb and the rest for me. Make sure everyone will be alright", said Luna. Theon nodded and tears were running down his cheeks. Luna wiped them off with her wobbly hands. Luna turned to the Targaryen boys and said, "Look after your father and mother. Promise me that". "We swear on the Targaryen name", said Viserys IV.

Luna looked at her sisters and said, "Thank you for all the love you gave me". Morgana and Morgause kissed their sister's cheek. Seraf gave one final kiss to his mother's forehead and Wolfe to her lips. "We will be together soon. It may not be in this life. I love you and thank you for everything", said Luna before closing her eyes and the hand that was on Wolfe's cheek dropped lifelessly to the ground and Wolfe cried.

Wolfe carried her and teleported back to Winterfell. Robb saw the black mist and thought he would be overjoyed to be reunited with his godmother, but he was wrong. He saw Theon walked with a solemn face and said, "We must let Jon know before we burn her". Robb ran towards Wolfe and dropped down to his knees and cried. "How?", he asked Wolfe. "She used too much of her power", was all Wolfe could say. Aaron saw the white banner of Rounins being held up. "How many are dead?", he asked. "Including Luna, six leaders and we lost some fighters", said Luther.

Seraf wrote a heart breaking letter and tied it to his own dragon. The small blue dragon flew to bring the ill news to Jon and the people in King's Landing.
