The next morning Rae stood watching Robb and his army ride away. Rhaenys and Visenya flew above the men. Evalyne stood by Rae with Achilles. Arya was on the other side with Storm. Balerion, Artemis, Athena and Starlight all stood in front of Rae. Selaera fly around the camp. Catelyn and Sansa stood near Arya with Winter. They were watching the men leaving. Arya looked up at the dragons. Rae silently praying to anyone that would hear her that Robb and his men would return unharmed. Ser Markas and Ser Hectar were assigned to her while Robb was gone. Selaera feeling Rae distress flew closer landing in front of her. Arya watched as Rae stepped forward letting Selaera large head nuzzle her. Robb and his men were already out sight by now. Sansa and Catelyn had already walked away from the sight. Catelyn motioned for Arya to come with her. Arya ignored her mother stepping forward to come up to Selaera.
"Do you think they will ever take a rider?" Arya asked.
Rae turned looking down at Arya. She took Arya's hand bring her hand to scaled body of Selaera. Arya petted the large beast.
"I do not see why not. I mean they are larger than the last dragon. Maester Davith says they are the size of Balerion the black dread, Vhagar, and Meraxes," Rae said stroking Selaera large head.
"You and Selaera are bonded aren't you," Arya asked.
"I believe so," Rae answered.
"I know you are. She feels your emotions. I know because it is like Nymeria and I. I know she is somewhere close and alive. Robb and Greywind are the same way. Do you think I could ride one of them?" Arya asked.
"I will allow you to try but only after I have ridden Selaera. From what I read and remember if the dragon does not accept you as a rider it can kill you," Rae said.
"I always wanted to be like Visenya Targaryen. She was a great warrior. She rode Vhagar. She had Valyrian Steel sword called Darksister," Arya said excitedly.
"They were my ancestors Arya. Dark sister was lost perhaps we can find it on the way. Why do not we try to scout out spots that it could be in my tent," Rae reminded Arya.
Arya grabbed Rae's arm dragging her toward her tent. The direwolves pups quickly followed Arya. Rae smiled at Catelyn as she passed them. Catelyn had a look of appreciation on her face.
Hours later the battle had commenced. Tywin men were winning the battle as of yet. He had smug look on his face. He sat on top of his horse cutting down soldiers as he rode toward where he spotted Robb and his men. Suddenly the men next to him scream a guttural sound as he knocked from his horse. Tywin looked over his shoulder seeing the man impaled by a spear. Two dark shadows flew over the battle field. Tywin eyes went to the sky. He spied the large dragons. One of them was purple with golden accents and other blending into the clouds minus it red accents. He never in his life time had seen anything like that. The stories were true. The Dragon Queen was really a Dragon Queen, a true Targaryen Queen like Rhaenys and Visenya. She was a conqueror. Arrows were flying hitting the enemies and allies alike. Visenya and Rhaenys flew over the archers on the Lannister side. They circle and drove waiting for an order. It seemed they weren't the mind beast he made them out to be. The archers stopped for a moment watching the beasts that were once something nothing more than a legend.
Robb looked up at them after he stabbed a Lannister soldier through the stomach. He quickly spied Rhaenys and Visenya. Greywind was taking on every soldier that got too close to Robb. Both of them were splatter with blood. The sounds of metal clashing shields breaking were the only sound around the battle field. The silence as the men watched the creatures of legends last only for a moment.
"Dracarys" Robb called out.
Tywin turned at the sound of the Valyrian word. He looked at Robb for a moment as Robb started to make his way toward him. He was in shock that Robb Stark knew any Valyrian words. Tywin was trying to remember what that word meant. He got his answered as he heard the sound of his men started to scream. He turned he watched in horror as the two dragons started to blow fire on the archers. The smell of burning bodies reached his nose. He looked over his shoulder seeing Rhaenys circling blowing fire at any and all who stood in her way. What was worse was seeing Visenya not only blowing fire but swooping down picking up men throwing them in the air before catching them ripping in two. In his distraction, he was knock off his horse by fast movement of air. Tywin looked up to see Greywind attacking another soldier near him. He noticed the blood cover paw prints on his armor. His horse had bolted.
The Mountain and his group of warriors made their ways through the tree line into the camp of the Starks. He looked at his men for a long moment.
"Take any you can with you but leave the Dragon Bitch to me" Ser Gregor Clegane roared.
Rae and Arya with Needle on her waist sat in her tent. Evalyne stood near them. They were looking at maps. Arya took a cake from plate pointing out where Winterfell was located at. Rae smiled taking one of the figs off the plate. She picked up her mother journal from the chest. Arya look at the chest seeing a direwolf seal on one of the letters.
"What this?" Arya asked.
"I don't know."
Arya handed Rae the letter to her. Rae opened the letter. Her eyes went wide it was a letter written between Lady Lyanna to her mother. It talked how after the war was won how they would be together. Lady Lyanna promised to protect Lilliyan and the child she carried from the Mad King. Rae's eyes started to fill with tears. Lyanna letter told her that Rhaegar planned after he won the battle to remove his father from power. Meaning Raenera would have never grown up in the world of Kings Landing. She would have likely been sent to her Uncle Greatjon if Rhaegar had won. Lyanna letter told her of the sword Rhaegar had given her. He told her it belonged to his ancestors. It was fitting that now in the hands of a great female warrior. Raenera eyes looked up at Arya.
"I know who had Dark Sister last," Rae said.
"Who was it Bloodraven who left at the wall or was it lost beyond the wall, or at summer hall," Arya asked excitedly.
"It was with your aunt," Rae said.
"Father never a brought a sword back with him with my aunt body. He brought back my half brother Jon but no sword," Arya told her dishearted.
"Your father brought home a baby," Rae asked in shock.
A sound of metal crashing against each other reached her ears. Arya was about to answer her. They both made their way toward the sound. Ser Hectar Bracken and Ser Markas Dayne pushed them back into the tent. She could see Lannister's soldiers fight their way toward her. It was lead by a man she would know anywhere, The Mountain. They were outnumbered. Rae's hand went her belly. She was certain that she was going to die. Arya pushed Rae behind her. Suddenly a roar from Selaera was heard. The fire rained down above. Ser Markas was taken on two at a time. He shoved his sword through one of the soldiers taking up the other sword. He was duel wielding. The Mountain was making his way toward the tent with five men. A six man quickly followed him. He was not blood covered like he just arrived at the battle.
Sansa was walking Winter with The Hound not far from her. Smalljon and Robb were not happy about the Hound being assigned to be her guard. But they did admire the way he was always close to her and willing to do anything to protect her. Sansa knew if the Hound ever slipped up he would be removed from her service. Suddenly three Lannister soldiers came out of nowhere. Winter let out a low growl. The Hound drew his sword slicing through the men. One of them advanced on Sansa while the Hound was engaged in battle. Sansa let out a high pitched scream. Winter suddenly pounced going for the man's jugular. Blood sprayed all over her light gray fur. The Hound turned to see the direwolf pup covered in blood. Winter moved back toward Sansa making a very low growl. Announcing to anyone that Sansa was hers and to dared touched her would die.
"You alright little bird?" The Hound asked.
Sansa nodded her head. She was shaking she gladly took his arm as he leads her back to camp. She let out a gasp as she saw the blood bath that the once peaceful camp had become. Her eyes were on the heart of the battle where a man she recognized as The Mountain was making his way towards Rae's and Robb's tent. Where, to her knowledge, Rae, Arya and Evalyne were at. The Hound pushed her into her mother tent with Catelyn and Lady Brienne was at. Brienne had a sword pointed at The Hound. He moved her sword easily. Sansa ran into her mother's arms.
"Keep them safe, " The Hound said leaving the tent.
Robb advanced on Tywin. They both were covered in blood. It had been a long and bloody fight. Rhaenys and Visenya circled blowing fire on any that got too close to Robb. Greywind tackled anyone that they missed. His kingsgaurds fought alongside him. Tywin was surrounded. On his right were Prince Oberyn and his men. Behind were Lord Tarly and his men. To his left were Jaime and Umber soldiers. And in front of him was The Young Wolf himself. Robb's and Tywin's swords met int a loud crash. It was a quick dance with sparks coming off the steel. It was over very quickly when Robb pieced Tywin in between his shoulder plate and his breastplate. Causing him drop his sword to the ground. Tywin looked up at Robb as Robb swung his sword cut off Tywin head. Rhaenys and Visenya roared. Tywin head rolled down the battlefield all the fighting stopped. Suddenly Visenya turned toward the camp as if she could feel something was wrong.
Ser Hectar body fell into Rae tent. Rae and Evalyne screamed. The low growls from Storm, Balerion, Artemis, Athena, Achilles, and Starlight echoed through the tent. Six men poured into the tent. All but one advanced on Rae. The tent descended into chaos.
The direwolves pounced on the men as they got close to Rae. Achilles growl intensified as one of the men produced a dagger intent on killing Evalyne. Evalyne hand was in his fur. She had a look of pure fear in her eyes. Suddenly when the men made a swipe at Evalyne giving her a tiny cut on her arm Achilles pounced. He went right for the jugular vein ripping it right out. Evalyne looked faint. As all the direwolves were killing the men that attacked their mistresses, The Mountain entered the tent. Arya stepped in front of Rae with Needle drawn. His eyes locked on heavily pregnant queen. She was shaking in fear. Her hands were on her belly silently praying to anyone that could hear her spare them and her. She did not want to die like Elia Martell did. The Mountain threw Arya aside. Rae gasps looking toward her good sister. Rae turned back to the Mountain. Her jaw stiffened her eyes were filled with tears. She closed her eyes awaiting her death. But the sound of metal meeting metal happened instead. The Hound and Mountain engaged in a battle to end all battles. Rae moved towards Arya. She was checking to make sure she was alive. Evalyne came over picking Arya up motioning for them to slip out of the tent when the Hound and Mountain engaged in battle. The blood cover direwolves followed them. Selaera circled killing every Lannister soldier.
Rae could hear the Mountain roar in rage. The Mountain came out of the tent after them. Selaera landed before Rae roaring at the Mountain. The Hound came up behind him nursing a large cut on his side. He brought his sword through The Mountain's neck. Evalyne fainted as soon as the body of Ser Gregor hit the ground. Rae was panting with tears pouring down her face. Ser Markas came running up bowing before Selaera.
"Are you alright," Ser Markas asked.
"Yes, but we need Maester Davith, " Rae said with shaking voice.
This was the last thing that anyone expected to find returning to the war camp. The camp looked like a blood bath. Fifty some odd bodies lied in pile being burnt by Selaera's flames. She was quickly joined by Visenya and Rhaenys. There were nurses treating the injured soldiers. Robb's eyes went wide. Achilles trotted up with Tyrion there was blood on his muzzle. Tyrion looked at the direwolf that had escaped his bath. Jaime and Robb paused as the rode into camp. Rae was nowhere in sight neither were Robb's mother or sisters.
"What in the seven hells happen?" Robb demanded.
"Failed assassinations attempt," Tyrion answered.
"Is my wife…?" Robb started.
"Her Grace is fine. The Mountain is died killed by the Hound in the protection of the Queen. The second attempt was on my good sister. Her Grace, your lady Mother, and your sisters are in with Evalyne. Maester Davith is in with them examining her making sure she is fine."
"Evalyne was attacked," Jaime asked in shock.
"It's only because of Achilles here that your wife is not dead," Tyrion said.
Robb took off toward Evalyne's tent. Lady Brienne was guarding the door with Ser Markas. Ser Hectar was nowhere to be found. Ser Markas was covered in blood.
"Your Grace," Ser Markas and Lady Brienne said allowing Robb to enter.
He was greeted by the sight of Arya head bandage but her awake arguing with his mother. Evalyne was holding Sansa's hand. Rae was over by a large tub with Lexise and Keila. The pups looked wet from a bath. Starlight was licking her muzzle clean. Balerion was in the tub. He looked not the least bit pleased about that. Robb looked so relieved to see her unharmed. She turned looking at Robb with a huge smile. She dropped the wet cloth she was using to wash Balerion. She ran over to him throwing her arms around his neck. Not caring about his blood stain armor. Robb lifted her off her kissing locking his lips with hers. Tear poured down her face as she took comfort in Robb's arms. He pulled away from her kiss. He took her hands in his hands truly looking at her. He kissed her forehead.
"Maester Davith is she alright," Robb asked.
"All are fine. Lady Arya will have a headache for day or so. She took quite a blow to the head. Lady Evalyne was given quite a fright. But she will fine," Maester Davith told Robb.
Jaime and Tyrion walked slowly toward Evalyne's and Jaime's tent. Jaime was in a state of shock.
"This was father's doing, " Jaime said finally.
They passed the body of the Mountain. Tyrion looked over to Jaime with a "really" look on his face. He looked over to the body of Mountain.
"Sending the Mountain to kill Queen Raenera,without a doubt was father. But the attempt on Evalyne's life that does not read as father's work," Tyrion argued.
"How do you know that?" Jaime demanded.
"Think about it, Jaime. I know you are not as daft as you seem to be. You are finally married ready to the heir he always wanted. I was just a place holder. Casterly Rock was always yours. He may not have liked your choice of bride. But do you really think he would have her killed? She could be carrying your heir right now. She is a lady of good breeding, not a low-born like Tysha was. Do you really think father would try to kill the daughter of the one man that has beaten him battle, besides Robb? Father may not have liked Randyll Tarly but he did respect him. His daughter would make a fine Lady of Casterly Rock in father's eyes and you know that" Tyrion reasoned.
"Then who sent the assassin after Evalyne?" Jaime asked.
Tyrion paused in their walk. He shook his head. It was clear as day, who had sent the assassin after Evalyne. It was the one person who would benefit from her death.
"That has the marking of our dear sister," Tyrion said.
"Cersei would never do that…"Jaime started.
He had a look of disbelief on his face. His mind was slow working out the pieces all seemed to fit.
"Yes she would and you know that. She always thought you belong only to her. And Evalyne has proven to her hold on you is nothing but a figment of her imagination. Think about Jaime who else would benefit from Evalyne death?" Tyrion asked.
Tyrion walked away heading for his tent. Jaime stood outside of his own tent. He hated to admit it but Tyrion was right. Cersei was the only one that would benefit from Evalyne death. A fire like a rage filled his body. He could not picture his life without Evalyne in it.
Jaime walked inside the tent. Lady Sansa sat by Evalyne holding her hand. Telling her it all will be alright. Robb and Raenera had already left. Catelyn had taken Arya back to her tent to care for her little-wounded pup. Maester Davith was packing up his things. He looked up at Jaime as he entered the tent.
"Jaime" Evalyne cried.
Jaime made his way to the bed taking her other hand in his own. Sansa smiled at Jaime as he wrapped a protective arm around his wife. Sansa rose from the bed leaving with Maester Davith.
"Evalyne are truly alright?" Jaime asked kissing the top of her head.
Evalyne nodded her head. Her free hand traveled to her flat belly. Maester Davith in his examination of her informed her that she was with child. That was what caused her to faint. She looked down for a time. Jaime gave her hand a squeeze. It was enough for Evalyne to look up at him. His green eyes met her hazel brown-green eyes.
"We both are, " Evalyne said.
Jaime looked at her for a moment while her meaning slowly penetrated his mind. He brought their joined hands to her belly. He looked at her wit a question in his eyes. She nodded her head yes. Jaime took a breath kissing her deeply. This attempt came to close. He would protect Evalyne and his child with everything in him. He made up his mind that Cersei would die and he would be the one to kill her. He would die before he would allow anyone to harm his little family.
Rae and Robb were in the newly cleaned tent. A bath was drawn so Robb to clean the blood from his body. Rae sat near the tub washing Robb's chest. Robb reached out kissing her again. He suddenly pulled her into the tube in her gown. It caused Rae to let a play cry and start to laugh as they both forgot about the day's advents.
