The Aftermath

Kings Landing

The battle has left scars on the great city for the air smells of "Fire and Blood". The soldiers even though they are tired and wounded help the citizens to their homes. Alyxandar walks through the city with Kinvara at his side. Soldiers around give him a salute which is returned. Alyx had ordered all the dead to be collected and those who died in the defense of the city will be given a kings funeral. Alyx walks into the keep before he is stopped by a soldier.

"My prince King Joffrey wishes to see you." Says the Soldier. Alyx looks at the man and sees a bleeding patch on his shoulder.

"Very good, I want you to get that wound looked at understand?" Orders Alyx making the man give a nod. Alyx smiles before walking away with Kinvara following. The two walk in silence before Alyx stops and looks at her.

"I heard that one of your priestesses serve my uncle." States Alyx while looking at Kinvara. Kinvara looks to him and nods her head.

"How can I trust you if that is true?" Ask Alyx with narrowed eyes. Kinvara takes out a dagger and hands it to Alyx.

"Melisandre has to follow her own path just as I follow mine." Says Kinvara without a trace of fear. Alyx looks at her before sighing and handing the dagger back to her.

"I promise here and now that I will never harm you." Says Kinvara making Alyx's eyebrows rise. Alyx nods his head before turning and walking.

"Then follow me priestess." Order Alyx making Kinvara smile and bow her head.

"As you wish." Says Kinvara before walking with Alyx. She looks to him and sees a small smile on his face.

The two walk into the small council room and look around. Alyx sees his mother, Joffrey, Tyrion who is sporting a new scar down his face with Bronn at his side, Varys, and the other council members. He also sees the commanders Cato Buckwell, Daemon Sand, Karl Bar Emmon, Oberyn Martell, Randyll Tarly and Taron Thurgao. Alyx nods to each of the commanders which is returned. Taron stands before hugging Alyx making him widen his eyes before laughing along with him. Joffrey sees the seen and sneers.

"Enough the king has called a meeting." Says Joffrey only for Alyx to greet the other commanders. Joffrey simmers in his seat as Cersei looks on. Alyx then sits in his seat which is a grand chair.

"Now then I need to know the status of the city, the losses, and anything of importance." Orders Alyx in a serious voice getting the commanders and the council to nod their heads. Joffrey attempts to stand only for Alyx to glare at him.

"Well my lord it seems that the eighth and fifth battalions were hit harder than the rest." Says Varys getting nods from Randyll and Daemon. The chamber doors open before Missandei comes rushing in.

"Forgive me my lord the papers were difficult to acquire so soon." Says Missandei with a bow only for Alyx to lift her chin and smile.

"How are the people fairing?" Ask Alyx getting looks from the council.

"They are faring well my lord but there seems to be a cult stirring up trouble." Says Grand Maester Pycelle.

"Any connection to the men who tried to assassinate my mother?" Ask Alyx with narrowed eyes. Pycelle shrugs before Alyx looks to Varys.

"We are unsure but it is quite possible." Says Varys getting a nod from Alyx.

"I want them gone and quickly." Says Alyx getting a nod from Varys. Joffrey shakes in his seat before standing.

"Only the king can give such orders." Says Joffrey only for Alyx to hit the table and crack it. No one says anything.

"The king needs to shut up while the men talk." Says Alyx getting Joffrey to sit back down. Cersei looks to Alyx with a pleading face making her son sigh before calming himself.

"And our losses in the battle?" Ask Alyx with a sorrowful tone. The commanders look down at this while Tyrion stands.

"Nearly six thousand died on the Kings Gate while another two thousand died on the Blackwater Bay." Says Tyrion getting the commanders to wince. Alyx closes his eyes and the table sits for a moment of silence.

"Over one thousand were lost defending the Mud Gate." States Tyrion getting a heavy sigh from Alyx.

"We… also lost Ser William Waters, and Ser Arys Oakheart." Says Tyrion with a sad tone. Alyx nods his head and picks up a glass of wine making the others do so and drink.

"When the bodies are collected have them burned for their service." Order Alyx getting nods from the commanders. Pycelle looks shocked before standing.

"My prince perhaps a burial would be enough after all they were just soldiers." Says Pycelle getting the commanders to palm their foreheads at the man's stupidity. Alyx's long hair shadows his eyes as he looks at the old man.

"What did you just say?" Ask Alyx getting Pycelle to sweat while Tyrion stands.

"I'm sure the Grand Maester must have meant something else," assures Tyrion getting the commanders to nod their heads, "you know how old he is." Alyx looks on with barely controlled anger before exhaling several breaths.

"And the war with Robb Stark?" Ask Alyx after calming himself. Varys stands before looking to him.

"Robb Stark has invaded the Westerlands and seems to be burning them down." Says Varys getting Alyx to narrow his eyes.

"But it has not been easy for him as the third and fourth battalions have been nipping away at him." Says Varys. Alyx nods his head. Still this war needs to end. Thinks Alyx.

"Also it seems the Ironborn are on the move." Says Varys getting glances from Alyx and Taron.

"It seems they've taken Winterfell and have pillaged the north." Says Pycelle. Alyx looks confused.

"And how did they do that and why hasn't Robb Stark stopped them?" Ask Alyx.

"It seems the ward of the Starks Theon Greyjoy has betrayed him and sided with his family." Says Varys getting Alyx to nod in understanding.

"The reason he hasn't been stopped is Robb Stark is too afraid to return home and lose his momentum in war." Says Randyll with a shake of his head.

"He has taken the Crag which was an easy victory for him." Says Karl.

"Still these small victories do nothing for his cause." Says Daemon while drinking more wine. Alyx nods before writing something down.

"And my grandfather?" Ask Alyx getting Varys to stand.

"He has stayed within Harrenhal." Says Varys getting a nod from Alyx. Oberyn stands before looking to Alyx.

"Also after such a long march the Oliphaunts will need to rest and have lots of water." Says Oberyn getting a nod from Alyx.

"Get them in the Kingswood and have them drink their fill." Orders Alyx getting a nod from Oberyn who sits back down. Alyx looks to Petyr Baelish who lifts his head.

"The treasury is just fine as the war has barely made a dent in the income." Says Baelish before Alyx takes out his notes on the treasury. Alyx nods as he sees the man is not lying.

"Anything else?" Ask Alyx making Varys exhale before standing.

"There also seems to be a rising power in Essos." States Varys getting a look from Alyx.

"Hmm interesting." Says Taron.

"Who is behind this power?" Ask Randyll getting nods from Cato and Karl. Varys looks to Alyx who wears a confused expression.

"She is called Daenerys Blackfyre." Says Varys getting Alyx to widen his eyes. Cersei looks to Varys with wide eyes.

"It seems she wishes to take the Iron Throne." Says Varys getting a growl from Joffrey.

"Great another traitor for me to squash." Says Joffrey getting a laugh from Tyrion.

"You to squash I'm pretty sure your brother has done the squashing around here." Says Tyrion making Joffrey angry.

"Enough we will handle the girl when she becomes a threat." Says Alyx getting nods from the lords.

"We will need to cement an alliance with the Tyrells for their cooperation." Says Tyrion getting nods from the lords.

"I will appoint Mace Tyrell as the Master of Commerce." States Alyx getting nods from the lords. Alyx looks to Randyll before standing.

"Randyll Tarly I appoint you as Master of War." States Alyx getting widened eyes from Randyll before he stands and bows. Alyx then looks to Taron who blinks.

"Taron Thurgao you are the new Master of Ships." States Alyx getting Taron to stand and bow.

"Oberyn Martell you shall be the Master of Law." States Alyx getting a bow from Oberyn. Alyx then looks to Tyrion.

"Lord Tyrion you will remain as acting Hand of the King until grandfather gets here." States Alyx getting a nod from Tyrion.

"Ser Bronn you will be the new Commander of the Citywatch." States Alyx getting a nod from Bronn before a slight bow. Alyx sighs before sitting back down.

"You are all dismissed." States Alyx getting the lords to stand only for Joffrey to slam his hand on the table.

"I called this meeting to discuss your dragon's brother." Sneers Joffrey getting Alyx to look at him.

"What about them?" Ask Alyx with narrowed eyes.

"As the king they should be under my command." States Joffrey with a glare. Alyx glares right back.

"They belong to me and no one else." Says Alyx with a cold voice.

"I AM THE KING!" Shouts Joffrey getting Alyx to look at him.

"And you think that means you can have whatever you want?" Ask Alyx with a cold voice making Joffrey flinch.

"It is because of the king that a war was started." Says Alyx getting Joffrey to glare.

"All because you wanted to see a head fly well now I have to deal with your mistakes." Shouts Alyx getting Joffrey to sit back down.

"So shut up and let me handle the situation," order Alyx before standing and turning his back, "and as for my dragons… if you even touch them I will feed you to them." Alyx walks out of the room before slamming the door shut.

Harrenhal

Tywin Lannister and his army are holed up in the fortress. Tywin sits in his study thinking about his next move to deal with the Young Wolf. His thoughts are interrupted when the door opens and in comes a messenger.

"My lord Stannis Baratheon has been defeated." Says the Messenger before handing the scroll to Tywin. Tywin reads the scroll before a small smile forms on his face.

"Rally the men we are leaving Harrenhal and heading to Kings Landing." Orders Tywin getting a nod from the messenger. The messenger leaves as Kevan enters the room.

"Prince Alyxandar has won the Battle of the Blackwater." States Tywin getting a nod from Kevan.

"We have just received word that the northern forces are marching for us." Says Kevan getting Tywin to look at him.

"We will have some men man Harrenhal while we make our way to Kings Landing." States Tywin getting a nod from his brother before Kevan leaves.

Stark Camp

Robb looks over his map and sighs. The fighting has been hard and his men have grown weary. It doesn't help that his mother and him aren't talking. During one of his battles Robb had met a beautiful woman named Talisa who was a healer. He immediately fell in love with her. He has begun to get too close and his mother disapproves of the girl's presence. But he can't help it and has married her much to his mother's anger. This made his mother angry because the Frey soldiers have left and returned to the Twins. To make matters worse it seems Theon has betrayed him and taken Winterfell just as his mother predicted.

"My lord Wyman Manderly has been defeated by Charles Weagan." Says a messenger getting Robb to stand and exit his tent to see a wounded Wyman being carried to his tent. That is another thing the two commanders the Alyxandar left here have been giving Robb a hard time. Unlike the Lannister's who underestimated him these commanders are smart and dangerous. Robb sighs before entering his tent to see Talisa naked and waiting.

Essos

Daenerys sits as the ashes from the fire are blown away. Her dragons lay next to her with their heads down while Barristan and Jorah stand behind her. Khal Drogo was killed by a magi who took her revenge against the Dothraki. Her sun and stars has been taken from her but she made sure that the magi died screaming. Daenerys stands before mounting her horse as her soldiers follow behind her. Looking back to the remaining Dothraki she speaks.

"The Khal is dead but your Khaleesi remains," says Daenerys getting them to look to her, "follow me and you will find happiness." She turns her horse and trots forward. Barristan and Jorah mount their horses before following with the rest of the hoard.

Kings Landing

Alyx sits in his room and looks out the window into the night sky. The day was long as he had to cement the alliance with the Tyrells. In order for that to happen he proposed the marriage between Margaery and Joffrey. Luckily the contract was agreeable to them both. He also did this to spare Sansa from the abuse but now he has to find something to do with her. Alyx sighs as he drinks some wine. Alyx looks at the candle in front of him before reaching out and touching the flame. He feels no pain and smiles before grabbing the fire. To his surprise the fire latches to his hand before Alyx moves his hand away from the candle. When he does the light from the candle dies and the fire is in the palm of his hand. Alyx looks at the fire before a knock on the door makes him jump and the fire leaves his hand and back onto the candle. Kinvara walks in the room wearing some robes before gently closing the door. Alyx looks at her and has to admit she is very beautiful. Arianne and Missandei lay sleeping in Arianne's room right where Alyx left them.

"My prince." Greets Kinvara making Alyx nod his head.

"You said the Lord of Light has chosen me right?" Ask Alyx getting Kinvara to nod.

"I don't like feeling as if I didn't choose my own way." Says Alyx getting Kinvara to tilt her head in confusion.

"My prince the Lord of Light never influenced your decisions he simply watched over you." Says Kinvara making Alyx look to her.

"Only when you were truly in danger did he ever step in." Says Kinvara making Alyx think back to several moments. Alyx sighs before standing.

"Listen whether or not I believe what you say, the Faith of the Seven is the main religion in the Seven Kingdoms." Says Alyx getting Kinvara to nod.

"And yet it is the wrong religion," says Kinvara making Alyx look to her, "you've seen the power of the one true god and you've seen his eternal enemy." Alyx looks at her with wide eyes as a chill passes through them.

"The dream you had is going to come true my prince," says Kinvara making Alyx narrow his eyes, "you've seen what is coming and only you can stop it but only if you accept the Lord of Light." Alyx looks down and thinks about his decision. On one hand he can simply ignore her and take his chances, on the other hand he can accept her religion. Alyx still remembers his dream vividly and remembers the fear he felt that time. Alyx looks to her.

"I already have some of the power don't I," ask Alyx getting a nod from Kinvara, "so what more do I need?" Kinvara walks around the room before standing in front of Ouroboros. She gently brushes her hand across the sword before looking back to Alyx.

"Your sword is incomplete," states Kinvara making Alyx confused, "you have yet to awaken your true power."

"Ouroboros is the strongest sword there is," says Alyx, "no weapon can stand before it."

"Besides in my dream I was wielding that sword." Says Alyx making Kinvara smile.

"Are you sure?" Ask Kinvara as Alyx eyes go blank.

Dream

Here I am again fighting the undead. I lash out with my sword cleaving two in half. I kick the skull right of the head before shoving my clawed hand through the gut of one. I feel the heat of my dragons as they hit me. I am not affected by the fire and continue to fight. To my left I see a dark haired man I can't seem to remember who fights next to me. I swing again killing more before I stop and stare at a figure. The figure has blue skin and blue eyes with white hair. It is wearing black armor of some kind and wielding a sword of pure ice. It attacks me as I lift my sword. Our blades clash against each other and when they do the black tint of my sword fades away to show a bright silver metal. The creature seems surprised before my sword ignites in bright fire. Tints of green fade away to show orange and red fire. I can feel the heat coming from the sword and it is greater than the wildfire. I parry a strike before swinging my sword around and cleaving the creature in two. It shatters the moment I hit it. I look at the sword to see it glowing before I look up to see a blue dragon flying high above the sky. Suddenly the ground shakes and I look behind me to see a massive gold and black dragon with armor covering its body. I mount the dragon before we sour into the sky.

Dream over

Alyx jolts awake with sweat running down his face. He looks around his room to see himself in his bed. He turns to his right and sees Kinvara looking at him. Alyx sighs before getting up and drinking some wine.

"How long was I out?" Ask Alyx making Kinvara smile.

"About two hours." Says Kinvara before turning serious.

"You saw it didn't you," ask Kinvara making Alyx pause, "That is the true form of your sword that is Lightbringer." Alyx places his cup down before turning to her.

"It is true then… those things are real." States Alyx making Kinvara nod.

"And you are the only one capable of defeating them." States Kinvara before standing. Alyx turns from her before sighing.

"If I was to bring out my power… how would I do such a thing?" Ask Alyx without looking to her.

"Accept the Lord of Light." States Kinvara making Alyx sigh.

"And when I do that it will cause another rebellion and this time I will have to face the Faith." Says an irritated Alyx.

"And what's wrong with that," ask Kinvara making Alyx widen his eyes, "You know just as well as I that the Faith is a corrupt religion." Alyx winces at the statement having learned that truth long ago. He had discovered that many of the maesters were shameless and even involved themselves in the trading of humans. Of course he had these men executed for their crimes but he couldn't out the religion. Doing so would do more harm than good, people need to have something to believe in.

"They have you to believe in," states Kinvara breaking Alyx's train of thought, "you have done more for them than anyone before."

"They will follow you into hell if you asked." States Kinvara making Alyx shut his eyes.

"Expose them to the public and watch the people look to you." Says Kinvara. Alyx shakes his head. He hears Kinvara sigh.

"What if I were to tell you that the assassins that tried to kill your mother were working with the Faith." States Kinvara making Alyx snap his eyes open.

"It makes since after all they have lost a lot of their power thanks to you." States Kinvara making Alyx nod his head. It's true after learning of their ways Alyx had drastically decreased their power and even made sure that the High Septon cannot interfere in political matters.

"Even if what you say is true I still can't act," says Alyx getting Kinvara to nod her head, "I have no proof other than some men wearing an everyday piece of wood carved into the form of a seven pointed star."

"I need them to attack me or I need to capture one." Says Alyx before turning around and coming face to face with a naked Kinvara. Alyx not embarrassed at all looks down at her assets.

"Not that I haven't thought about it but why?" Ask Alyx looking at Kinvara.

"To help you gain more power." States Kinvara before smashing her lips into his. Alyx widens his eyes before lifting her up. He carries her to the bed and removes his clothing. He pins her to the bed as she stares into his eyes. She grabs something from the right and moving it in front of her. Alyx looks down at her hand and spots a necklace with a red ruby in the center. Alyx notes it looks just like hers but seems to be outfitted for him.

"I hate this… it feels like you already knew my chose and reactions." States Alyx as Kinvara wraps the necklace around him.

"No… but I hoped this would be your chose." States Kinvara before kissing Alyx. Alyx kisses her before Alyx lifts her has he sits. Kinvara gasp as Alyx enters her. The candles flicker wildly as the shadows of the two are seen on the wall. The necklace upon Alyx's neck glows before the flames go out.

Ok a couple of things. We have just entered into season three. Drogo is dead but I didn't write it because he dies the same way. Daenerys will be making her way back to Meereen. Robb has already married Talisa. Tywin is heading back to Kings Landing while Rick Rykker and Charles Weagan fight Robb. And yes the enemy will be The Faith because it really is corrupt. All hail Lightbringer! I'd like to thank all of you guys for your ideas and I love that you guys are enjoying the story. Now some have said that I should hurry along with the cult and kill them off but guys I want Alyx to face them. I want him to have vulnerabilities because that's what makes characters so good. Yeah he can kill them quickly but if he does that he could lose the people. He has to be smart and not solve everything with blood… but there will be blood. Now in battle Alyx will crush anyone he comes across but in court he has to be careful to exert his power.

I am also debating on Alyx's wives. I know he will be married to Arianne. Missandei I'm not sure. Margaery will marry Joffrey but when he dies she will probably go to Alyx. And then there is Daenerys who is far away. Sansa will not marry Alyx just to get that out of the way. Since Alyx is in charge I think he would marry Sansa to Tommen and not Tyrion. At least that's what I would do if I was him. People say that because he loves his siblings he wouldn't do that but he would, given that Sansa is gentle and he knows that she won't harm little Tommen. Also this could bring the north back into the fold. Myrcella is still in Dorne like the show and books. As for Cersei and Alyx… no way the relationship is strictly mother and son. I might have Taron marry Yara to keep the Iron islands. And no matter how much he hates the Ironborn he will try to use diplomacy… but if that fails well mwaahahaaha.

Till Next time I will be a little busy but I will try to update soon.

Cya ;)
