Chapter 17. Legacy of the Lannisters

Dreams and Nightmares filled Cersei's head as she had passed out after her son Joffrey was beheaded. She saw herself along with Jaime and their children in the garden at Casterly Rock with both Tywin and Tyrion tied to a pole as they poked them with spears. Then there was a howl and the snow started to fall. "WINTER IS COMING!"She heard Eddard Stark say. Cersei screams as the head of a giant Dire Wolf peaks its head over the wall and snaps its jaws. Joffrey lays dead in the snow as the wolf chews on the head.

"I told you!" Tyrion says, "Didn't I tell you… I will hurt you for this. A day will come when you think yourself safe and happy, and suddenly your joy will turn to ashes in your mouth, and you'll know the debt is paid…"

"Mother!"

Cersei sat up breathing heavy as her son's voice echoed in her mind. She was alone in a tent still in her dress. She stood up and exited the tent, "You! Where are we?" She asked the guard at her tent.

"King's Rode your grace. We decided to stop until you awoke…"

"Where is my father?" She demanded staring at the crossbow leaning next to her tent where the man stood.

"He left this morning for Dragonstone…His orders were to take you back to King's Landing…"

"Take me Dragonstone!" She demands.

Dragonstone

Stannis Baratheon had returned to Dragonstone to prepare for another attack on King's Landing. "Our scouts report that the Wolves are returning North…" Davos said.

He grunts looking at Davos, "And Harranhal?"

Davos places a wolf marker on the spot marked Haranhall. "They have 5,000 men garrisoned there…"

Just then a soldier enters and whispers into his ear, "Bring him in!"

"What is it?"

"Tywin Lannister is here…"

Stannis sits on his makeshift throne with Davos at his side. Melisandre had decided to remain at the wall for some strange reason. When Tywin enters he drops to one knee, 'May his grace the King live forever…"

"What do you want Lannister?" Davos asks unkindly.

"Revenge! My grandson has been given to the Starks to make peace…They have gone back North…By right!"

"You have no rights!" Davos says interrupting, "This is the one true King of Westeros…Your grandchildren are bastards by their own uncle…"

"Be careful Onion Knight! The Starks dealt me a heavy blow but I can still make war on my enemies and the Lannisters always pay their depts…."

"Not according to the Iron Bank…" Stannis says, "They want your head…And not just your head that of your family's…"

"The Lannisters will swear fealty to you and help fight to conquer the North so long as no Stark lives the rest of the Winter…"

"You offer me aid…and yet over half the Westerlands are in ruins…Your castle is burned to the ground…I could make your brother Lord Paramount in your stead and have you executed for treason…"

"I know what the Starks are capable of in battle…you will need my help…"

Stannis looks at Davos who whispers into his ear, "Alright Lord Tywin…If you confess before the people of King's Landing that all your daughter's children are bastards I will accept your oath of fealty…"

Stannis sails to Storm's End and summons the remaining Banners. Then he sends ravens to the Tyrells and Martells demanding that they march with him to King's Landing to swear fealty to him. Cersei met them on the rode and demanded an audience with Stannis.

"I have sent word to King's Landing the Iron Throne will never be yours unless you give me my father…" As they spoke Tywin walks into the command tent. That is when Cersei pulls a crossbow from beneath her dress and shoots her father in the neck.

"Seize her!" Davos demands.

"Crazy bitch! I granted your family clemency if Tywin would confess that his grandchildren are Bastards…"

"I took a mother's revenge! Do with me as you will…" Before the Martell and Tyrell banners Cersei was beheaded for treason.

King's Landing

Verys rushes through the castle towards Tyrion's room, "Lord Tyrion…In many ways I consider you a friend which is I came…Stannis is on his way with the Tyrells and the Martells at his back…He has executed your sister for treason and she killed your father…Joffrey is dead! I have made arrangements but we must leave now…"

Tyrion takes Tommen, Jaime, and Shae to board a ship headed for Pentos, both Podrick and Bronn are with them. "Where is my mother?" Tommen asks looking at Tyrion.

He sighs, "She is dead my dear sweet nephew…But do not fret…We shall be avenged…"
