Defense of Kings Landing
Kings Landing
The city is in a hurry as troops run around while citizens struggle to follow their directions. Troops begin to round up the citizen and escort them into the safe areas made by Alyxandar. Blacksmith work around the clock on armor and weapons to help in the battle. In the Red Keep Tyrion overlooks a map with Randyll Tarly and Daemon Sand. Tyrion is outfitted with a specially made armor to fit his size.
"Stannis will attack from the Blackwater," says Tyrion with a firm nod, "I'm sure of it." Randyll nods his head while Daemon rubs his chin.
"What about the troops that joined him after the death of Renly?" Ask Daemon getting Tyrion to look at him.
"He is right, now that Stannis has gained the loyalty of the troops he took from Renly he has thirty thousand men to deploy." Says Randyll getting a nod from Tyrion. Tyrion looks down at the map and rubs his chin.
"So we might have to defend two places huh?" States Tyrion before sighing. Uncle you are the only one I trust to defend KingsLanding until I arrive. Tyrion remembers his nephew's words and straitens himself.
"So an attack from the Mud Gate and possibly from the front walls." Says Tyrion getting nods from the Commanders.
"I will have my men hold the walls." Says Randyll. Tyrion shakes his head before he widens his eyes and points his finger at the map.
"This is the Kings Gate is most likely where Stannis will attack." States Tyrion getting looks from Randyll and Daemon.
"But Prince Alyxandar has had the gate reinforced to withstand a siege for months." Says Daemon getting a nod from Randyll.
"Yes but Stannis believes we won't have enough men to defend the gate." Smiles Tyrion getting a nod from Randyll.
"You two will defend the Kings Gate while I and the Lannister forces as well as the city garrison will defend the Mud Gate." Says Tyrion.
"The City Watch will be deployed where needed." States Tyrion getting nods from the commanders. Tyrion nods his head as the commanders leave and he walks out of the room. He spots Bronn walking ahead and sees him bump into someone.
"Hey watch where you're going you dumb fuck." Says Ser Arys getting Bronn to look at him. Ser William Waters is behind him with a smile on his face.
"Well you would know all about being a dumb fuck wouldn't you?" Ask Bronn with a blank stare. Ser Arys looks at Bronn for a while before the two both start laughing. The two embrace before Ser Arys pulls out a metal flask and drinks from it. He then passes it to Ser William who smiles before drinking.
"Where are you stationed Bronn?" Ask Ser Arys getting Bronn to sigh.
"I'm defending the Mud Gate." Says Bronn before looking to the other two.
"And you guys?" Ask Bronn getting Ser William to sigh.
"We were put on the Kings Gate." Answers Ser William getting Bronn to sigh. Ser Arys take his flask before drinking some more.
"Well don't you guys go dying on me now." Laughs Bronn getting chuckles from the other two.
"As if I'm going to die here," says Ser Arys before a cheeky smile makes its way to his face, "after all you still owe me four hundred gold dragons." Bronn laughs as Ser Arys shakes his head with a smile. Ser Arys laughs dies down before he looks at his flask. He then looks to Bronn and passes it to him.
"Here hold on to this you rogue," says Arys getting Bronn to catch the flask, "I will collect it after the battle." Bronn looks at the flask and smiles.
"Well you will probably need to refill it by then." Says Ser William getting laughs from the two. Tyrion smiles before heading to the Queens room. Entering the room he spots Tommen being held by his mother. Tyrion sighs before stepping forward. Missandei is looking out the window.
"Sister you must head to Maegor's Holdfast." Says Tyrion getting Cersei to look to him.
"There is no need for that," says Cersei getting Tyrion to sigh, "I know Alyxandar will come."
"Still I made a promise to Alyx that you would be safe so do it for him." Says Tyrion. Cersei looks at him before sighing and nodding. Tyrion thanks her before walking out of the room.
Cersei looks out of the window and breathes. Meanwhile several figures enter the keep as the doors close.
Essos
It has been several moons since Daenerys has married Drogo and the two seem to get along well enough. Daenerys stands outside the tent and looks to the sky, watching her children soar through the air. She laughs when she remembers naming Drogon and laughed when she heard her husband to be was named Drogo. Daenerys looks around the camp and spots Ser Barristan and walks over to him.
"Ser Barristan you are up early." Says Daenerys getting a smile from Barristan.
"As are you my queen," says Barristan, "is something bothering you?" Daenerys smiles and nods. Ser Barristan is always able to tell when something bothers her.
"As you know my family has always believed that they should be on the throne," says Daenerys getting a nod from Barristan, "do you believe that Daenerys of house Blackfyre should be queen of the Seven Kingdoms? Barristan looks at her before he sighs.
"My queen even if you make it to Westeros it is unlikely that the people will accept you as their queen." Says Barristan getting a nod from Daenerys.
"Because of prince Alyxandar?" Ask Daenerys getting a nod from Barristan.
"Prince Alyxandar has become a hero to the people and those who challenge him are hated by the people." Say Barristan. Daenerys sighs before sitting down on a log.
"So even if I beat him the people will never accept me." States Daenerys making Barristan look to her.
"I'm sure if this is the path you will choose that the people will eventually like you." Says Barristan in an attempt to raise her spirits. Daenerys smiles before nodding and returning to her tent. Barristan looks at the tent before he sighs.
"I need to know where your loyalties lie Ser Barristan." States Jorah as he walks up.
"I serve my queen and no one else." Says Barristan without turning to the man.
"You seem to think highly of the prince." Says Jorah with a frown.
"Of course I watched and trained the prince as he grew into the man he is." Says Barristan before turning to Jorah.
"I won't lie and say I hope the queen and he can come to an understanding but that is hardly treason." Says Barristan getting Jorah to look at the man.
"Well let's hope that is all you think." Says Jorah before walking away. Barristan sighs before looking to the sky.
Kings Landing
Tyrion walks through the candle lit halls of the Red Keep with an axe in his hands. To his left is Bronn who looks down at Tyrion.
"Don't forget to wait until-." Starts Tyrion, "until the ships are in the bay." Interrupts Bronn.
"They must be far enough in for this to work." Says Tyrion getting Bronn to roll his eyes.
"For the last time I know." Says Bronn getting Tyrion to nod his head.
"Don't worry we will survive this." Assures Bronn getting a nod from Tyrion. Randyll and Daemon step forward and look to Tyrion.
"Our men are ready to defend the Kings Gate." Says Randyll getting a nod from Tyrion.
"There is one thing though." Says Daemon getting Tyrion to look to him. Tyrion groans when he looks behind the commanders and spots Joffrey with armor that is obviously too big for him.
"Joffrey just what do you think you are doing?" Ask Tyrion while trying to hold in his laughter. Bronn on the other hand can't stop his laughing.
"The king will fight with his men." Says Joffrey before walking forward making Bronn laugh harder. Tyrion struggles to hold in his laughter and coughs.
"War is not a game Joffrey and it is no place for someone who has never seen it before." Says Tyrion getting Joffrey to grit his teeth. Tyrion spots Arianne walking to the holdfast surrounded by soldiers making him sigh in relief.
"I said the king will fight now let's go." Orders Joffrey before walking away. Tyrion finally can't hold it in any longer and laughs. After the laugh Tyrion wipes a stray tear from his eye before turning serious and walking ahead. He spots Sansa with Joffrey making him roll his eyes. Tyrion then spots several figures huddled together before he approaches.
"You men need to move along." Says Tyrion as the men turn to him and smile.
"Of course but where should we go?" Ask one man. Tyrion looks at the men before sighing.
"Head to Maegor's Holdfast you will be safe there." Says Tyrion as the men nod and thank him before Tyrion walks away. The men turn to each other a nod before walking away.
Tyrion walks out of the keep and makes his way to his position. On the way he sees several children who are rushed to a safe place by him. Tyrion makes his way to the Mud Gate and spots Joffrey there. Tyrion ignores him and looks out to the bay and sees mist. Joffrey looks at the scene and begins to sweat and shake making the men nervous. Lancel looks on and begins to grit his teeth.
"Where's our fleet?" Shouts Lancel making Tyrion roll his eyes.
"On the way now quiet yourselves." Says Tyrion making Lancel narrow his eyes.
Two Steps From Hell-United We Stand Divided We Fall
At the Kings Gate the men are quiet as the commanders look out to the sea. The wind seems to pick up before several soldiers on the walls are hit with arrows.
"Hold." Shouts Randyll getting his men to recover. More arrows litter the wall but the men use their shield to block. Suddenly Daemon sees men running up to the gate.
"Archers fire!" Shouts Daemon. The archers hit the soldiers as they keep coming. Several of the men set up and aim at the walls. A skirmish match ignites between the two before the Royal Army pulls out a ballista.
"Fire!" Shouts Randyll. The bolt pierces two men before more troops make their way up to the gate. Ser William orders his group to fire in the enemy ranks. Ser William ducks under an arrow before taking a crossbow and firing back. He hits the man in the throat before tossing back the crossbow. Stannis's army begin to set up ladders making Daemon narrow his eyes.
"Aim for the ladder, Aim for the ladders!" Shouts Daemon as his men fire. However suddenly a slab of rock hits the wall killing some of his men. Randyll looks past the ladders and spots a catapult making him curse. Looking to his left he spots a ballista.
"You there aim for the catapult." Orders Randyll getting a nod from the man. Before the man can fire he is hit in the head with an arrow. Ser Arys who was next to the man takes aim and fires but missis the catapult. The catapult fires again and hits more men before Arys launches another bolt and hits it. The men cheer before another catapult is brought up but this time Randyll smiles.
"Trebuchets fire!" Orders Randyll as his order echoes. Suddenly the sky is lit up with fire balls. The light makes the enemy forces visible and the archers take advantage.
Tyrion hears the fighting and hopes they can hold. Joffrey looks over and sees and grits his teeth.
"What are we doing the fight is over there." Says Joffrey only to be ignored.
"Gather the men we will help them." Orders Joffrey only for the men to stay put. Tyrion sighs and looks to him.
"They are doing their job so we can do ours," Says Tyrion getting Joffrey to look at him, "if we abandon our post the men that have died will have lost their lives for nothing." Tyrion turns back to the bay and tries to drown out the fighting. The men look over and sigh before turning back to the bay.
"Ladders!" Shouts Ser William as he draws his sword. A man jumps off the ladder only to be gutted by Ser William. More ladders dock and soon heavy fighting begins on the walls. The ballista men show great bravery and continue to fire. Ser William ducks under a swing before plunging his sword into the man's chest. Spearmen of the Royal Army fight hard before a man gets through and begins to stab them in the back. Soon the formation is ruined and the Royal army fights man to man. A man getting of the ladder is shot with an arrow and falls off. Ser William is grabbed and thrown into the wall before he recovers and beheads the attacker. More ladders dock on the left side as Ser Arys throws an axe at a man approaching. Randyll enters the fray and hacks away with Heartsbane. Daemon holds the center of the wall and has the archers pick away at the enemy.
"Sir look." Says a Soldier getting Daemon to look down. He widens his eyes when he spots a battering ram.
"Archers aim for the ram." Orders Daemon as the archer's fire at the ram holders. Daemon looks up before widening his eyes.
"Cover!" Yells Daemon as he dives to the right. A rock slams into his spot killing six men before another hits and kills four more. Daemon stands and looks over the wall to see the catapults.
"Trebuchets use iron spikes." Yells Daemon. The crew of the trebuchets load up iron balls with spikes protruding from them. After pouring some oil on them they are light and thrown. The balls travel through the air before they explode just above the ground in a green blast. Out of the blast comes spikes that decimate the infantry while killing the catapult crew. More come down before the catapults begin firing back. Ser William is covered in blood as he dodges another strike before knocking the man off the wall. He takes an arrow to the shoulder and grunts before standing and blocking an axe strike. A spear goes through the man's head courtesy of Daemon who nods to Ser William. Daemon block a sword strike before spinning around and cutting the man's throat. More of Stannis's soldiers pour in and ladders dock one by one. Arys kicks one down before cutting the head off a soldier and throwing another off the wall. Archers carefully aim and pick apart the infantry before enemy archers begin firing back. Arys ducks under an arrow before he hears a grunt and looks back to see a man with an arrow in his eye. Arys looks up and sees William and runs to him. The two spot each other and fight back to back. Arys kicks away a man before gutting another and parrying a strike before cutting a man's throat. William draws his dagger before plunging it into an enemy's gut before pulling it out and throwing it at another man. Arys is then hit by a hammer and hits the floor before William beheads the man and helps him up. Arys has a serious wound on his head making William sigh.
"Go back to the keep and protect the queen." Orders William getting Arys to look at him.
"I'm fine I can still fight." Says Arys before William pushes him out of the way and kills a soldier.
"I'm sure you can but the queen needs you and the prince would want his family protected." Says William getting Arys to nod before running off. William blocks another strike before gutting a man.
Joffrey paces back and forth as he hears the fighting. Tyrion ignores his nephew and narrow his eyes out at the bay.
"Ships!" shouts a soldier getting Tyrion's attention. Tyrion looks out and spots ships coming his way making him nod his head.
"Archers to their marks!" Orders Tyrion as a man repeats his orders. Joffrey looks on and begins to sweat more. The archers knock their arrows while Tyrion looks on at the ships.
"Hold your fire!" Shouts Tyrion getting Joffrey to look at him.
"What do you mean have them fire right now." Says Joffrey getting Tyrion to turn to him.
"Hold your fire." Grits Tyrion making Joffrey shut up. Joffrey look on and spots a single ship making him confused. He's not the only one as Mathos looks on as well. Davos is confused but recovers and orders his men to aim.
"Hold, Hold!" Says Davos as his men aim their arrows. As the ship gets closer Davos can't see any men on board.
"What the hell is going on?" Ask Mathos getting Davos to look to him. Davos turns and walks back before looking behind the ship and seeing a green ooze coming out.
"Wildfire…WILDFIRE!" Shouts Davos. At the same time Bronn releases an arrow making Tyrion smile. The arrow hits the water and lights up the wildfire. Davos squints his eyes as he sees it traveling up to him.
"MATHOS GET DOWN!" Shouts Davos as he is hit by the shockwave and falls overboard. Stannis looks on and shields his eyes. The men defending the Kings Gate stop and look before cheering. They begin to battle even harder. Ser Arys has just reached the keep and smiles when he hears the explosion.
Song End
Inside the keep Cersei huddles together with Tommen who shudders as he hears the explosion. Cersei's eyes roam the room as she sees Sansa talking to some girl. She sees Arianne talking with Missandei. Ignoring the two she spots a group of men who glance at her every now and then. Cersei stands with Tommen and has a guard escort her to a private room made by Alyx. The men narrow their eyes at her before nodding to each other and standing. Cersei enters the room and sits on the bed with Tommen who begins to fall asleep. Suddenly sounds of struggle are heard from outside the door making Cersei widen her eyes. The door is the opened and in comes the men that were looking at her earlier. They have the sigil of Stannis but also seem to wear a seven pointed star making Cersei narrow her eyes.
"How did you get in here?" ask Cersei as the men laugh.
"That doesn't matter all that matters is what we're going to do now that we are in here." Says the man making Cersei push Tommen behind her.
The men laugh before stepping forward only for a sword to stick from one of them. The man falls and behind him is a bleeding Ser Arys who pants. The men look to him before smiling.
"You don't look so good." Says the leader making Arys narrow his eyes.
"Come now man look… why don't you just leave." Offers a man on Arys's left before Arys cuts the man's throat. The men attack him only for Arys to parry and block before getting stabbed in the gut. Arys grunts before beheading his attacker and plunging his sword into another man's gut. He blocks twice before stepping forward and cutting off a man's arm. Arys kicks the man down before stabbing his sword into him. Arys is forced to relinquish his sword less he lose his hands. Arys dives for a dropped weapon and swings it around and beheads another man. As he turns he is stabbed with a spear. Looking up he spots the leader with a cruel smile.
"To bad you almost made it." Says the man before he pulls away. However Arys grabs the spear and holds it in place before pushing it deeper into his gut. He looks over to the queen who has a shocked face and Tommen who is crying and yelling for him. He looks back to the man and smiles.
"What are you talking about," says Arys getting the man to look at him, "I'm just in time." Arys plunges his sword into the man's mouth killing him. As he does this several royal soldiers enter the room. Arianne enters the room and check over Cersei who tolerates the girl. Arys drops his sword before he collapses on his knees. He vaguely hears his name being called before he smiles. Damn I really wanted that four hundred gold dragons. Thinks Arys as he exhales and his eyes go blank.
At the Blackwater Bay the fighting has escalated as Stannis marches his forces up to the gate. Joffrey looks around at all the death before he trips. Tyrion looks on at the battle before shouting orders. Joffrey whimpers before he begins to crawl. Tyrion looks over to him and sighs.
"What are you doing?" Ask Tyrion as Joffrey continues to call.
"I need to report to mother so I leave you in charge." Says Joffrey getting a snort from Tyrion. Joffrey leaves the field making the men look down. Tyrion looks at them and smiles.
"What's with the faces… now that he is gone we can win this fight." Shouts Tyrion getting the men to cheer.
Two Steps From Hell - To Glory
Tyrion watches the fight before stepping down and traveling and leading a counter attack. Tyrion hacks off a man's leg before hitting another man in the balls. The forces rally and fight harder only for more of Stannis's troops to come in. Tyrion holds and kills two more men while ordering his men to fight on. Tyrion is knocked down as a man holds a sword above him. Before the man can strike an arrow hits him in the head followed by more arrows hitting soldiers. A familiar horn sounds making Tyrion smile and the men cheer.
On the Kings Gate William battles hard with Randyll and Daemon. He ducks under an axe before swinging upward and cleaving the man's head in two. Randyll kills four men before he is hit back. William sees this and helps him up before killing two men. Randyll nods in thanks before William looks up and sees a large rock coming for him. Time slows as he looks to Randyll who hasn't seen it. William grabs Randyll and tosses him away as the rock hits him and knocks him off the wall.
"SER WILLIAM!" Shouts Randyll as he sees him go off the wall. Looking down he sees William laying on his back. William's eyes are glossed over and he can't seem to hear. Then the sound of horns hits his ears making him smile. His eye lids slowly fall and he dies with a smile on his face.
Randyll looks up when he hears the horns and looks out to the field. He spots several large objects making their way to him and he widens his eyes when he sees the Oliphaunts charge into the enemy lines. The men rally and kick the enemy off the walls. Tyrion stands as he looks around and see the enemy flee. He spots a familiar sight as Alyx rushes forward with his burning sword cleaving the enemy in two.
Alyxandar beheads another man before swinging left and killing a man. Cato swings his troops around and kills more while Loras engages the enemy. Gevives and Baelfyre fly above and light the enemy up before Alyx hears huge wings and Jörmungandr comes down with green fire burning the men into dust. Alyx dismounts before cleaving a man in two and swinging left and cutting another man in half. Sandor rides next to him and dismounts before the two make their way forward. Alyx beheads a man before he spots Stannis being dragged away. Alyx runs forward killing three men before clashing blades with a heavy armored man wielding a pole axe. Alyx is pushed away before he blocks two strikes while dodging the third and jumping, bringing down Ouroboros. The man blocks before swinging around with a sweep. Alyx parries before kicking the man away. Alyx blocks a strike before bringing down his sword making the man fall to the ground. The man reaches a hand out only for Alyx to swing again cutting off the hand that the man used to balance himself before driving his sword into the downed man's stomach (For honor Highlander Execution-Maximum Carnage). He is then attacked by a man wielding daggers but punches the man when he gets close before stabbing his sword into the man and pushing it forward as the man bends back before pulling it out (For Honor Highlander Execution-Stop Squirming). He runs forward only to see Stannis sailing away making him growl. Gevives lands to the left of him before screeching. Alyx look to it before shaking his head and walking away. Gevives flies back into the air.
Song End
"My lord look!" Shouts a soldier making Tyrion look to the sea. He smiles when he see the Royal fleet destroy more ships. He spots the sigil of house
Thurgao. Tyrion sighs before turning around only for a sword to hit him. Tyrion falls to the ground as he sees the man cleaved in two with wildfire. Alyx looks down with worried eyes as he yells for a Maester as Tyrion shuts his eyes.
House of Flying Daggers: Lovers' farewell-Music by Shigeru Umebayashi.
We see the bodies of the dead as a child cries. Alyx stands and looks around with a sorrowful gaze. A man screams as his leg is missing. Kinvara makes her way to his side while looking at the dead. Ser William is picked up by a group of soldiers with tears in their eyes. Randyll looks on with a frown and pats Ser William's shoulder. Daemon looks at the dead with a frown as his men pick them up. Bronn enters the Red Keep and finds Ser Arys dead making him look down. He takes out the Flask and drinks from it before placing it in the hands of Ser Arys. Alyx can't stop the tears that fall he looks at his men. He walks up the steps only to widen his eyes when he sees Arianne there with a sad gaze. He rushes forward and embraces her. Alyx cries in the bosom of Arianne who also sheds tears. Missandei walks up with tears in her eyes having learned about Ser Arys. Cersei exits the keep and sees men being carried on stretchers and wagons. Tommen cries over the death of Arys. Alyx hugs Missandei as she cries. Oberyn enters the city and looks around before dismounting and helping a man stand. The soldiers rush to help the wounded but several die of their own wounds. Arianne spots her cousins and hugs them with tears in her eyes. The camera looks up and we see the dragons let out a sorrowful roar.
Song End
Sniffle Sniffle I think I might have overdone it on the sad music. I listened to several tracks but then I remembered this and it made me hurt.
So I made the battle a little bigger and Ser William and Ser Arys have died because… well I have to make some people die. Rest in Peace. Just to let you guys know a lot of people died in this battle. A Victory yes but…still. I am making Alyx to be like Alexander but I want him to have doubts and it can't be easy for him. He will face emotional challenges. Also it seems some of the cult members tried to assassinate the queen.
Daenerys is a Blackfyre as the poll is done.
