You win or you die:
Lannister Camp: Westerlands/Riverlands border:
At the border between the Westerlands and the Riverlands, Tywin Lannister had gathered the Lannister forces and had camped at the border. Tywin planned to push pressure on the Tully's in order to release his son Tyrion. Tywin had sent Gregor Clegane to help put more pressure however, Gregor had gone and slaughters the people of villages and he was only now hearing the news.
The great Lord Tywin Lannister was in his tent with his son Jaime as they discussed their plans. Tywin had been fuming when he heard that Tyrion had been captured. He may not have liked Tyrion because he was a dwarf and a drunk and whoremonger. But he was still a Lannister and if another family took him prisoner, then it made Tywin look weak.
"So Gregor Clegane has murdered many innocent people in the Riverlands." Jaime said "Martin sure is not going to like that. He is certainly going to ask for Gregor's head, he's been wanting Gregor's head for years."
"Trying to attack Ned Stark was foolish" Tywin muttered as he skinned a deer which he had killed "You're a Lannister, Lannisters don't act like fools."
"Catelyn Stark took my brother." Jaime reasoned
"If what Martin said was right then we've all been played." Tywin said "Baelish, I never trusted that little worm, lowborn and I heard nasty rumours about him, how he was said to have taken Lysa Tully's maidenhead. Jon Arryn should have never named him Master of Coin."
"Martin said that as well, he never trusted him and he proved that he had been stealing money." Jaime replied
"Your time as a Glorified bodyguard has made you weak and soft. This had dulled your skills." Tywin said annoyed "Martin may be a Baratheon but he has the cunning of a Lannister. He's may be kind but other times I've heard he can be ruthless."
"Well he is kind. He did help open small schools for commoner children to learn basic ready and number skills so they can build a future for themselves." Jaime said "And I've heard that he is ruthless as I heard one story that he had an old lady flogged for abusing children."
Tywin looked at Jaime "Martin would have made a good Lord of Casterly Rock" he said simply "He's got the mind and the abilities to lead. And he did find something I've been searching for." Tywin then wiped his hands as he pulled out Brightroar, the Valyrian Steel sword of House Lannister that Martin had given him when he returned from his first time to Essos. The blade was a large two handed sword though not as big as the Stark's blade of Ice. The hilt was decorated with gold and jewels while the pommel and guard were made to look like roaring lions. "The long lost blade of House Lannister" Tywin added "King Tommen II lost this when he sailed to Essos and my younger brother Gerion died trying to find it. But Martin found it in an Outlaw camp of all places." Tywin remembered when he had first met Martin.
Flashback:
It had been when Martin returned from his first trip to Essos. Martin had sailed from Tyrosh to Lannisport and then he rode from the port to the Castle of Casterly Rock. The Rock was more than just a castle, most of the keep was built inside a large cliff which made most of the keep inside the cliff which had the keep had to take during a siege. Visenya Targaryen, sister of Aegon the Conquer even said that it would have been difficult to capture Casterly Rock. The Lannisters have been rulers of the castle since the Age of Heroes and legends say that Lann the Clever tricked the ancient House Casterly into giving up their keep.
Tywin Lannister watched as his young Grandson enter his study with a small escort of Lannister guards and his own guards of his recently obtained Blades. Martin gave a small bow of respect "Lord Tywin Lannister" Martin spoke
"Prince Martin" Tywin said back "It is good to meet you though I must ask, why you travelled across the world."
"Well I believe that experience in seeing how the world works is better than just reading." Martin said
Tywin gave a small smirk, Martin clearly knew that you should just listen to everything you read in books. And it was clear that Martin could easily see that you had to make hard decisions.
"Also I believe my brother is going to need help when he becomes king or else he'll throw the whole Kingdoms into Civil War." Martin added
Tywin looked at him "Why do you think that?"
Martin narrowed his eyes but he wasn't glaring at Tywin, he was glaring at the floor "Because my mother, father and older brother are fools. Father just spends his days drinking or sleeping with women and holding large tourneys which will throw the realm into debt. And my mother thinks that she knows everything, she believes that Joffrey will be the greatest King ever and that boy knows no discipline. Joffrey says that everyone should respect him and he has been mean to my younger siblings. He said 'I'm a prince, I can do what I like' that is not how a King acts."
Tywin looked at Martin, Tywin managed to hold a smirk, Tywin knew that Kings who did what they like don't last long and Martin knew that his mother was not as smart as she thinks she is. "Well you are right about your mother." Tywin said "The reason I don't trust her is because she is not as she thinks she is. Obtaining power is one thing, keeping hold of it is another. There is one more thing I wanted to ask you about. I heard you converted to the Religion of the Nine Divines, why did you convert?" In all honesty, Tywin didn't care about religion as he was not a religious man and all the Septons did was cause trouble.
Martin looked at Tywin "Because the Faith of the Seven are just hypocrites. They think they are the only gods and all the others are false gods. That belief just causes violence and trouble. The Faith of the Nine Divines believe that all the gods are the same they just go by different names. But this religion has more freedom to people and women. If the faith had their own way then we would have violence on the streets as Septons try to root out non-believers. The so called Baelor the blessed was a fool and he nearly bankrupt the realm and created a massive civil war when he tried to ban the worship of the Nine Divines. His uncle Viserys stopped that by stopping this law and then Baelor decided to tax the worship which only resulted in a riot and Baelors death. I don't care what some people think about this blessed king, to me Baelor was just a fool and he nearly destroyed the realm. To me the worship of the Nine Divines is the best religion than this faith of the Seven."
Tywin smirked at him, he clearly knew what had to be done to keep the realm and people in check "So I take it you will be staying for a while."
"Yes I will Lord Tywin" Martin said "This is my last stop before I go back to King's Landing, oh but before I go there is something I got for you." Martin then got a bag from one of his guards and he looked around in it. Though Tywin looked confused when he pulled out a large black furred cat "Wait what are you doing in there, you were meant to stay at the stables."
Tywin looked at the cat "What is with that cat?" he asked
Martin smirked "This isn't a Cat, this is something I found in Essos. The sigil of House Lannister is a Lion and I found something close to a Lion. On the road I came across a litter of recently born Jaguar cubs. I decided to bring them back as gifts for my siblings." Martin then handed the cub to a Blade and he found what he was looking for. "I've always heard that you are one of the most ruthless men I've met. From what I've heard I agree though there is one man who is similar, Lord Randyl Tarly of Horn Hill, they call him Tywin Lannister of the Reach and is the only man to defeat my father in battle at Ashford. But his family have a Valyrian Steel sword known as Heartsbane. You've been looking for a Valyrian Steel Sword and your brother Gerion went looking for the lost Blade of house Lannister, well when I met my bodyguards, the Blades, I found this in a cave we were searching. Martin handed something to Tywin. It was a clearly a sword that was wrapped in cloth. Tywin uncovered the sword and was shocked by what he found "Lord Tywin Lannister." Martin said "I return the blade of house Lannister to you. I give you the ancient Valyrian Steel Sword, Brightroar."
Flashback end:
Tywin never forgot what Martin had said back then. It was clear that Martin would have been a good King but because his older brother Joffrey was heir to the throne, then it meant that Martin was second in line for the throne but Martin probably would have been a good Hand of the King or a good Lord of Casterly Rock.
"I just hope that Gregor's actions don't force us into a war." Tywin spoke to Jaime "If Martin is able to retrieve Tyrion then we might be able to go home."
"I didn't realise that you put such a high value on my brother's life" Jaime spoke up
"He's a Lannister" Tywin said simply "He may be the lowest of us but he is still a Lannister, you have half of the Lannister army and will remain here to put pressure on the Riverlands while I'll take the other half to the southern Border and we'll just have to hope that this situation is sorted out." Then Tywin looked at Jaime "Your mother is dead and soon I'll be dead. You, your brother, your sister and her children will be dead and buried in the ground eventually but our family name lives on. My father and his weak will nearly destroyed our house but I helped save it. These next few months will determine the future of our house. We can establish a Dynasty that will last a Thousand years or collapse into nothing like other Houses have done like the Targaryen." Tywin looked at Tyrion "With no clear heir I'll need you to become the man you were meant to be. The future Lord of Casterly Rock. Not next year, not tomorrow, now"
Tywin then left the tent as he went to gather his men. Jaime looked at the suit of Lannister armour he had been given. Tywin had always been a harsh man and was not afraid of using violence like he did when he put the Reyne Tarbeck Rebellion down. The song Rains of Castamere was written about that. The Song was more than just a song, it was a message, a warning to the other houses of what the Lannisters can do. But Jaime knew that he was not the same person. Jaime had reading issues when he was younger and he knew nothing about leading soldiers. He never wanted to join the Kingsguard in the first place but had been forced by the Mad King. He remembered the times when he had been guarding the King's chambers at night and he heard the screams of terror when the Mad King rapped his wife at night. The Kingsguard was an honour but Jaime had seen nothing great and honourable of letting someone abuse his wife or watching as someone was burnt alive with Wildfire. He still remembered the laughs of the Mad King as his enemies were burnt.
"I just hope that I have the strength to do what I must. For this family" Jaime said to himself
The Vale of Arryn, Mountains of the Moon.
As Tywin had hopped, Prince Martin Baratheon had managed to save Tyrion and they now had the evidence to prevent a Civil War from breaking out. Prince Martin rode alongside Delphine and the blades along with Tyrion on some horses. Gonnar had taken most of the Legion back to fort Amol while a small escort of soldiers escorted the captured Lysa Arryn to Cloud Ruler Temple and then back to King's Landing where she would face trial for treason. Martin had sorted the situation out well and it looked like the threat of civil war might end. A civil war would have devastated the lands which was a horrible thing for the smallfolk, they barely had any way of defending themselves. His Jaguar Storm rode alongside him. Storm had clearly gotten bigger over the years Martin had time. His black fur made him hard to see in the dark and his jaws could kills a man quickly. Storm was now quite large and now he could hardly fit in his bedroom so Martin sometimes had to make him sleep in the stables when they visited places. But Storm could also put fear into people who have never seen a Jaguar before. Lysa Arryn was tied up in a prison cart and gagged as she had begun ragging again as soon as they left as Martin had gotten tired of her and had ordered her gagged so she would shut up and tied to a post when he kept trying to force her way out of the cart. This was to prevent her from hurting herself and it was clear that she had mental issues.
"Thinking about the future are we?" Tyrion asked
"Well I have just prevented a war from breaking out." Martin said "When we get to Cloud Ruler I can send a message to Tywin Lannister and the Capital and explain what has happened."
"I still can't believe what has happened" Delphine explained "This Baelish has tried to frame Tyrion Lannister for a crime he didn't commit and it was to try and start a war, but why?"
"I wish I knew" Martin said "But we don't know where Baelish is."
"I can have the blades agents try to find him and eliminate him if we need to" Delphine suggested
"Well he needs to be found" Martin replied "But capture him alive, I need to learn about what he is doing. He may have found someone else to aid him in his plans. If he has then we must know about them."
Tyrion looked at him "Well I agree that Baelish is a danger, but my father would order him killed."
"Well Tywin would but first we must learn more or else we may bring more problems." Martin said to him
Tyrion was about to reply but they were cut off by the sound of a woman screaming "What was that?" Tyrion asked
"That sounded like someone in trouble" Martin gasped and then he turned to Delphine "Delphine, you and the Blades come with me, we'll find out what is going on, Tyrion you stay with the Legions."
"Understood" Delphine said and then Martin and the Blades rode up the hill where they dismounted and looked around. They came to a ridge where they saw what looked like some kind of a camp. Or at least some kind of camp. There were men and women dressed in fur clothing and their weapons seemed to be made from animal bones. The men had dirty long hair and dirty beards while the women had long dirty hair which clearly hadn't been washed in a long time. The tents were crude and it looked like these people were living on the mountains and some were fighting amongst themselves.
"This looks like a Mountain Clan camp" Martin said, The Mountain clans of the Vale were descended from the First Men of the Vale who refused to submit to the Andal Invaders. They were driven into the Mountains of the Moon and they survived of petty theft and raiding. Most people saw them as savages. The Mountain clans of the North were different as they didn't raid though sometimes they practised the Law of First Night where the lords were allowed sexual rights to common girls when they married. This had been outlawed since King Jaehquerys I.
"And it looks like they have a prisoner, that must have been who we heard screaming before" Delphine pointed out and she pointed towards an area of the camp where there was a cage made from Animal bone. Several of the Clan members were laughing as they threw a teenage girl around. This woman seemed to be crying as the men threw her around before they threw her in the cage before walking off.
"We have to do something" Martin said "We can't just leave her."
"Martin you can't go in alone, if those men spot you they'll gut you." Delphine pointed out
"We'll have our archers stay her to watch over. I'll take two blades with me but the rest must stay back, I can't risk us drawing attention to ourselves. And it looks like the Clan members are distracted by feasting." Martin pointed out and Delphine saw that the Clan members were now sitting near a fire and were feasting on rabbits and other meats that the hunters had killed.
Later, Martin and his two Blades managed to sneak towards the Bone cage. During his time with the Blades, spymaster Caius had helped Martin learn now be sneak about and not be caught. It was best dome wearing light armour as it had less noise when you moved. But Martin was able to move towards the Cage and he managed to whisper to the girl and prevent her from alerting the camp. "Shhhh" Martin hissed "It's Okay, I'm going to help you, I'm here to get you out. But you must be quiet so we don't alert the camp." The girl nodded and Martin was able to use a dagger to break the ropes that tied the door shut and then she helped the girl to her feet and he carried her away from the camp. Martin gave a signal to the archers on the ridge which was to launch a surprise to give him time to escape. The Archers launched an arrow to an area that had several barrels stacked up on top of each other. The arrow caused the barrels to tip over and roll about which distracted the Clan members.
Martin was soon reunited with Delphine and Tyrion back with the rest of the soldiers. Tyrion looked at the girl Martin was carrying. She had a scared look on her face. "Who is this nephew?" he asked
"I don't know yet but I can ask once she has settled down." Martin replied and she helped the girl over to a supply cart which had some supplies that were transferred to Cloud Ruler Temple. Martin was now able to get a better look at the girl, she looked to be about the same age as Martin with long auburn hair. She was certainly a pretty girl.
Later, Martin was told that the girl had settled down and that she was a bit scared of where she was. So Martin went to go and see her. Martin found the girl alone and crying. Martin approached with just Storm and Delphine "Hey are you okay?" Martin asked and then the girl gasped in surprise and was scared of the black furred Jaguar "Hey its okay, we're not here to hurt you, and Storm here is friendly." The girl let out a few deep breaths before she let out her hand and stroked Storm's head and the Jaguar cooed in response.
"I've never seen a Jaguar act like this" the girl said "I've always seen them act like savage beasts."
"I found Storm as a cub and I raised him to be a guardian" Martin said "I'm sorry I guess I should introduce myself, I am Prince Martin Baratheon, second son of King Robert Baratheon."
"My name if Elisif" the girl introduced herself "I am the daughter of a small Pentosi trading family."
"So Elisif, how did you end up in that Mountain Clan camp?" Delphine asked
"My dad was sailing with me from Pentos to Gulltown when our ship was set upon by pirates. They destroyed the ship and I was thrown overboard. I washed up on shore and was captured. They didn't rape me but I was so scared. I have no family now."
Martin looked at the girl sadly "Well we're on our way to Cloud Ruler Temple. I can help you to rebuild your life."
"I think I would like that." Elisif giggled
King's Landing:
Lord Eddard Stark sat on a bench in the middle of the Red Keep's gardens. He was still shocked over what he had discovered. Three of King Robert's five children with his queen were not really his at all. They were born though incest between the Queen and her twin brother Jaime. He remembered that he heard Martin talking about how he leant that his mother and Uncle Jaime had been close when they were young. Eddard was unsure about who he should go to. Prince Martin and Princess Alessia were the only two trueborn Children and they were close with their younger siblings or half siblings. He also knew how Robert would react when he found out. He would go into a rage when he learnt that his queen had mothered a bastard born of incest to sit on the Throne. This was just like the Targaryen Kings who often married brother and sister to keep their bloodlines pure. This was believed to have been what caused the Targaryen madness. This also caused problems with the faith who viewed incest as a sin. The moment Robert learnt the truth, he would most likely kill Cersei and her incest born children. He was unsure about what to do, Jon Arryn had discovered this and died for it. And he knew that Tywin Lannister wouldn't take well when he heard this but he had the evidence to prove it. This would make Prince Martin the rightful heir to the throne but Martin was never interested in the throne.
"You looked troubled Lord Stark" a voice called and Eddard turned to see Queen Cersei approach him "Maybe it is time you went back home. The South clearly doesn't agree with you or with your daughters."
Eddard silently agreed with the Queen on that one, it was clear that he wasn't meant for the South. Only one Stark had severed as Hand of the King and that was Cregan Stark, the old man of the North who severed as Hand for King Aegon III for a brief time before he resigned. "I know the truth that Jon Arryn died for." Eddard spoke "I know the truth about you and three of your children"
"Do you Lord Stark?" The queen asked
"I heard Martin say that you and Robert had problems. Has King Robert treated you so poorly?" Eddard asked
"Jaime would have killed him." Cersei snarled "He never hurt me but he made out with servants and other women right in front of me. Jaime is 1000 times better that your friend."
"Your brother or you lover?" Eddard said
Cersei smirked "The Targaryens wed brother and sister together for years. To keep their bloodlines pure. Jaime and I are more than just siblings, came into this world together, we belong together."
"The same bloodline that produced Kings like Meagor the Cruel, Aegon the Unworthy and Aerys the Mad?" Eddard asked "Half the Targaryen Kings went mad." Then he realized something "My son Bran, he saw the two of you together didn't he?"
Cersei looked at Eddard with pity though Eddard wasn't sure if the pity was real "You love your children don't you Lord Stark."
"With all my heart"
"No more than I love mine."
"Really?" Eddard asked "It sounds like you love Joffrey more than the others. Martin told me about how he bullied Tommen and Myrcella and you did nothing. That doesn't sound like you love them. You spoil Joffrey too much, that isn't good for a Crown Prince even if he was the rightful heir to the throne."
"Joffrey will be the greatest King this kingdom has ever known." Cersei insisted
"Really?" Eddard asked "Well what happens when his bullying goes too far and drives Martin away. What will the realm think if he raises in rebellion because Joffrey goes too far. Will your father come to help you, I'd heard he respects Martin more than you."
"He will do what it takes to defend the Lannisters legacy." Cersei said "He will fight for his children."
"But will he when he learns the truth about you and your brother?" Eddard asked "Will he fight for a King who had traits of madness? You always hated Robert didn't you?"
"Hated him?" Cersei gasped "I worshipped him at one point, he was a great Warrior who just overthrown a Mad King and every girl wanted him but he wed me. I was the happiest girl then but that stopped during our wedding night. He was drunk and he said 'Lyanna'" Eddard looked at her at the mention of his sister "Your sister was a corpse while I was a living girl. He thought I was his dead lover, a girl who had died. I swore I wouldn't birth any of his children."
"You gave birth to two." Eddard said "Martin and Alessia"
"They were a mistake, but I still love them but they can't take the throne. Joffrey will, he is my golden lion and he will become a great King."
Eddard looked at him "It is too late for that, as Hand of the King my duty is to the realm and I cannot allow a bastard born of incest to sit on the Iron Throne. When Robert returns I will have to inform him of the truth. You should leave now, take your incest children and as many men as you can and flee as Robert's wraith will follow you."
Cersei sneered "I will not flee, I am the queen of the Seven Kingdoms. You could have taken the Iron Throne. Become King of all Westeros but you didn't. All you had to do was climb the step. Such a Sad mistake."
"I made many mistakes in my life but that was not one of them" Eddard said
"Was it?" Cersei questioned "In the Game of Thrones you win or you die, there is no middle ground." And with that Cersei walked away with Eddard staring at her.
Castle Black:
Jon was standing on the balcony as he watched as the recruits of the Night's Watch sat on benches in the courtyard. It was the day that Lord Commander Jeor Mormont would assign all the recruits of the Night's Watch to their positions. There were three positions in the Night's Watch, the Rangers, the Stewards and the Builders. The Rangers were the people who went beyond the Wall to scout, Jon's uncle Benjen was the First Ranger and the head of the Rangers. This was the most dangerous job as many never came back or came back wounded. The Stewards were the people who provided the day to day needs such as cooking and cleaning, repairing clothes and mending weapons. They were led by Bowen Marsh. The Builders were the people who looked after the Wall by making sure the Wall stood and repairing any damage done to the wall during raids by Wildlings and they were led by Othell Yarwyck.
"You came to us as Outlaws" Jeor said as he started his speech were all of the recruits would be assigned "Poachers, rapiers, killers and thieves. You came to us in chains without friends or honour. You came to us rich, you came to us poor. Some came with the names of great houses. Some with nothing more than a bastard name or no name at all. It does not matter, all that is in the past. Here on the wall, we are all one house. Here you begin anew." Jeor then came down the stairs "A man of the Night's Watch lives his life for the realm not for a fool or a lord. Not for the honour of this Lord or that Lord. Not for Gold or glory or a woman's love but for the realm. You have all learnt the words of our vow, think carefully before you say them. The penalty for desertion is death. You can say your vows her tonight. Do any of you keep to the Old Gods? There's a weirwood a mile north of here. You have all been assigned according to our needs and your strengths." Jeor then rolled out a scroll which had all of the assignments on "Halder to the Builders, Pyp to the stewards, Toad to the Builders, Grenn to the Rangers, Dareon to the stewards, Todder to the Rangers."
Jon and Agmaer watched from the balcony as Jeor finished reading everyone's name. Jon did not know much about Toad, Halder and Todder but he a few of the others. Pyp claims he was forced to join the watch after he stole a Wheel of Cheese to feed his family. Grenn was a farmer who volunteered while Dareon was here for rape. He had been caught in the bed of a daughter of House Rowan where he was accused of Rape. Dareon claimed that the girl invited her to bed though Jon could not tell if he was lying.
"These people are now men of the Night's Watch" Jon heard Ser Alliser Thorne say as he approached Jon. Many of them are just thieves or farm boys with little training. The Lord Commander believes something is coming and that we need help."
"A Deserter that my father executed claimed he had seen the White Walkers." Jon said
"Well I not sure about that. The Walkers may be real or they may just be stories." Thorne said "But Rangers have been disappearing North of the Wall and it's more than usual. And there have been reports of more Wildlings Fleeing. So there is something out there, but we don't know what it is and no one will believe us without proof." Jon had to agree with Thorne on that, no one would believe that there are creatures North of the Wall without proof.
Then just as Thorne left he turned to Jon and Agmaer "Oh yeah, Commander Isran and that girlfriend of yours say that they need to speak to you. There on the top of the Wall."
So later, Jon and Agmaer travelled up the elevator to the top of the Wall where they found Isran and Serena waiting for them. "Well now that you two are here, Serena says that it is time for the two of you to know the whole story." Isran said
"What story?" Agmaer asked
"Well I didn't tell you before but Jon knows part of the story" Serena said "You see Agmaer, I'm not mortal, I'm undead I am a Vampire. A creature of Night."
"People told stories of Vampire" Agmaer said as he slowly backed away "They say they feast on people's blood."
"Those stories are true" Serena sighed "Don't worry Agmaer; I have a way to cure my thirst for blood." And then she brought out a bottle of red liquid "This potion is made from Animal blood mixed with other ingredients, it helps keeps my thirst for Blood safe."
"So what is it you wanted to speak to us about?" Jon asked
"You remember when I told you about a prophecy that my Father became obsessed over?" Serena asked and Jon nodded "Well Isran says that I should tell you the whole truth now. Vampires are strong but we have a few weakness. One is fire, Vampires are vulnerable to fire more that mortals. But the biggest enemy of Vampires is Sunlight. Vampires can't be out in the sun too long or else we'll burn. Here at the wall there is mostly clouds and snow so there isn't much sunlight. But my father became obsessed with trying to trying to find a way to defeat the sun itself. To block out the sun forever. And he found a way."
"You mean your father knows a way to block out the sun?" Jon gasped
"Well he thinks he does." Serena said "He found an object of great Power known as an Elder Scroll. This scrolls described events of a prophecy known as the Tyranny of the Sun, where Vampires would become rulers of the known world. But he became obsessed with it and my mother didn't like the idea. She said that if eternal night fell, there would be those who would raise armies to restore the world and the war would not be won until every vampire was wiped out. I agreed with her and we both stole the Elder Scroll and fled. My mother and I aided the Dawnguard of old but one day she left and I haven't heard from her since. Then when the Dawnguard was disbanded I was sealed up for when the Dawnguard was reformed."
"Wait you said something about an Elder Scroll, what is this scroll?" Agmaer asked
"An Elder Scrolls is an object of immense power." Serena confirmed "No one knows where these Scrolls came from. Some say that an ancient race created them; some say that the Nine Divines created them. But they are still object of great and dangerous powers. I couldn't keep the one I had with me so I gave it to Prince Martin who has it locked up at Cloud Ruler Temple. He said that he would never have it brought out unless he had to. The things that scroll could do in the wrong hands could be devastating. Martin just couldn't risk it falling into the wrong hands."
Jon listened to what Serena said, this thing about something called an Elder Scroll. If it was true then she did the right thing to give it to Prince Martin. But then his thoughts about this were interrupted by the sound of a horn. "The blast of the horn, riders approach."
Jon and Agmaer went into the lift and they quickly went to greet the Rangers who had returned. But to their shock, there was no rider on the Horse. What was worse is that Jon recognised the Horse "That's my Uncle Benjen's horse." He gasped "Where is Benjen?"
Then Mormont and Isran came out and saw the Horse. Mormonts eyes widened in fear and then Isran turned to Gunmar "Find Ollrod, Saliah and Tilde, take them North with supplies and do what you can to find First Ranger Benjen."
Mormont then turned to Ser Alliser, "Alliser, send a few Night's Watchmen as well, try and find Benjen."
Jon turned to Isran "Isran with your permission I would like to go as well."
Isran smile at Jon but shook his head "I'm sorry Jon but I need you here."
"But Grandmaster, Benjen is my uncle, I have to find him!" Jon exclaimed
"If what I fear is to true Benjen may be lost to us." Isran said sadly "We can't give up on him but he may be dead. We don't know that but we must find out. But I'm going as well and I may not return. You'll be of more use here, the Night's Watch is poorly trained and equipped, Ser Alliser is doing his best but he can't do it alone, he needs help and you're one of our best fighter. We'll do what it takes to find Benjen Stark."
Jon watched as Isran prepared to leave and she did a silent prey 'Uncle Benjen, please be all right."
King's Landing, Red Keep:
Princess Alessia was walking up and down outside a door. She had a few deep breaths as he waited in fear. Just a few hours ago, her father King Robert Baratheon had been carried into the Red Keep badly injured. He had been injured by a wild boar during the hunt and had been carried in. Grand Maester Pycelle and Martin's Healer friend Colette had done what they could but they both said that it was unlikely that he would survive. His stomach had been pierced by the Boar's tucks and he was bleeding badly. Her younger Siblings, Myrcella and Tommen had tears in their eyes, Robert never had cared for them but Robert was still their father figure and their mother never spent time with them. Martin and Alessia were the only ones who looked after Myrcella and Tommen. Alessia also felt sad, Martin would be unable to see his father as he was still away in the Vale. A letter had arrived a few days ago which said that Martin was now on his way back and with news. She was shocked by the fact that Lady Lysa Arryn had been the one who poisoned Jon Arryn but this now meant that the upcoming war with the Lannisters could now be stopped.
Inside the room, King Robert Baratheon was lying on a bed with his chest covered in bandages. Eddard and Cersei were standing off to the side and Joffrey was kneeling next to the King with tears in his eyes. Though it was not clear whether or not his tears were fake or real. "I should have spent more time with you and your siblings." Robert spoke to Joffrey "Should've shown you how to be a man. I was never meant to be a father." Joffrey looked at his father, all his life he had desired his father's respect and approval but he never cared for him. Robert then looked at Eddard, "All of you out, I wish to speak to Ned alone"
"Robert my sweet" Cersei tried to say but was interrupted by Robert.
"ALL OF YOU OUT!" he yelled and then Joffrey, Cersei and everyone else left the room leaving Eddard and Robert alone.
Eddard looked at his old friend "You damned fool" Eddard said
"Maybe… maybe I should stop being one then." Robert said "It's time I do something I should have done a long time ago. I should start acting like a King." He then pointed to a table "Paper and Ink Ned, write down what I say."
Eddard grabbed the stuff Robert asked him to with a block of wood so he could write clearly and then he listened to what the King said.
"I Robert of House Baratheon, First of his… oh it doesn't matter you know how it goes, just fill in the damn titles." Robert started and Eddard managed to hold a laugh at his friend getting grumpy "Due to my Oldest Son's inability to rule, I name my second Son, Prince Martin Baratheon, Heir to the Iron Throne" Eddard looked at him shocked, he choose to name Martin who was his only true son as his heir "Go on then Ned, write it down." Eddard then wrote it down as Robert continued "I also command that Eddard of House Stark serves as Regent and protector of the Realm upon my death and rule in my stead until Martin comes of age."
Eddard finished writing down what Robert had said and then he realised that Cersei or Joffrey wouldn't take this well, this may cause a civil war and Martin was going to need his royal Legions that he helped build but they were meant to fight for the King "I'll write a copy for Martin, that should help get the Legions on his side if Joffrey doesn't take this well."
"This may cause a Civil War after all." Robert agreed "Hand them both over" Eddard handed both letters over and Robert signed them "If this become a Civil war then Martin will need allies. He will have his Legions and the North and maybe other areas but Cersei is ambitious." Robert then coughed and he looked at Eddard "Get my younger children Ned, I wish to speak to them one last time. Then give me something for the pain, and leave me to die. There is no point in trying to stop that now."
Eddard nodded and then he went outside where Grand Maester Pycelle and Robert's younger children were outside waiting. Eddard looked at the Grand Maester "Give the King Milk of the Poppy after the King has seen his younger children."
As soon as Eddard let them, Alessia went into to the room with Myrcella and Tommen. They saw their father lying on the bed. The three of them also brought their Jaguars along with them as Robert wanted to see them with their pets. "Ah my younger children" Robert spoke "There is something I must tell you. You must help your older brother Martin. He is to be my heir but you know what that miserable little cunt Joffrey will do." Tommen and Myrcella were shocked, they always loved Martin more than Joffrey as Martin always protected them from danger especially Joffrey. One time Joffrey had killed Tommen's pet fawn and Martin make sure that he had punishment which resulted in him getting a broken wrist and a black eye and Martin had told his mother to Joffrey under control but she never did. Myrcella knew that the two brothers may come to war but not like this. Myrcella believed that Martin would leave his brother and do something to stop him from destroying the realm. Robert then handed his signet ring to Alessia "Martin is sadly not here and I doubt he will make it back in time, but the next time you see him, give him this, he will need it to show the Legions that he is my heir. All of you, do what you can to help him, he will be one of the greatest King this kingdom has ever known."
Vaes Dothrak markets:
Daenerys Targaryen walked alongside Farengar and Jorah as she looked through the Market stalls. The Dothraki may not use currency but Vaes Dothrak was still a large trading centre as this was a gateway between Eastern and Western Essos and the Steel road which was one of the three roads through the Bone Mountains ran through the Dothraki city. This allowed Trade to flow between Eastern and Western Essos. Daenerys was still thinking about what she should do. She may be the last Targaryen alive except for her brother who she had spared a painful death but there was no way he would have a chance. Part of her said that she should continue what her brother started but part of her also said that she would have no chance. So she needed advise from her advisors "What do you think I should do?" she asked
"Well you could try to retake your home" Jorah said "Though that will not be easy, no one had been able to invade Westeros since Aegon the conqueror"
"And even with allies it would not be easy" Farengar added "There were Five Blackfyre Rebellions where someone from House Blackfyre, a candidate branch of the Targaryens tried to invade Westeros and they all failed. After the Fourth no one really supported them as they saw no need to fight for a lost cause. If you invade Westeros, anyone who might support you need to see that it is a fight that they can win. But Dothraki will never cross and even if they did, many people won't fight alongside a Dothraki army who they see as savages."
Daenerys sighed, she knew that there was no point in trying to gain support as she would have no support. Then she came across a wine merchant selling Wine.
"Princess" the merchant said bowing
"Rise please" Daenerys said "I would like to taste the wine."
"Oh this" The merchant laughed "Not worthy of a princess' taste, I have good wine from the Arbor, nectar of the gods I am told. Let me give you a caste as a gift."
"You honour me" Daenerys said
"The honour is all mine" the merchant said but Farengar noticed a smirk on his face
"Is it?" he asked "Why would a merchant give a caste of fine wine away just like that?"
Jorah noticed something was wrong here and Farengar glared at the merchant.
"Why would I not wish to honour the Princess? A small gesture from someone las lowly as me, but is for the Princess" the merchant insisted.
Jorah now realised something was wrong "I may not be a merchant but I know that merchants don't give their best wares away for free. That would be bad for business." He said and he turned to Rakharo "open that caste Rakharo, I would like to see what is in that caste."
"The wine if for the Princess not for you!" the merchant snarled
"You will open it!" Daenerys ordered as she now realised what was going on.
But before anything could be done, the merchant threw a box full of wine bottle and then tried to make a run for it, only to be tripped by another Dothraki rider just near the horse statue gate. Farengar then grabbed the merchant and slammed him against one of the statues "All right then, who are you working for!?" he snarled
Jorah meanwhile had opened the caste of wine and sniffed it, "Poison" he said and many people gasped "Someone wants the Khaleesi dead" Daenerys was in shock and some of the Dothraki riders looked like they were wanting blood. But Daenerys decided that she must see who was behind this assassination attempt so she went and found Farengar slamming the assassin against one of the horse statues.
The merchant sneered "That little whore should be dead!" the man snarled "The throne of Westeros would be safe without her." Farengar slammed the man again and his hands glowed red with fire as he burnt the man who yelled
"I don't think the royal family of Westeros would hire a guy like you, they would hire someone who would get the job done right. Someone like a Faceless Assassin not a wine merchant like you, now who are you really working for?" Farengar demanded
The merchant screamed in pain "All right all right stop, just stop" he begged and Farengar stopped burning him "Look, I don't know who wanted the princess dead but they offered me a lot of money."
"So you did this for money?" Farengar demanded "That's not what I meant, what was this Guy's name?"
"Look, I don't know his name as he never gave it to me. He also wore a hood but he introduced himself to me as Mockingbird."
…
King's Landing:
"Lord Stark, may I have a moment of your time?" Lord Renly Baratheon said as he approached Lord Stark in the corridors of the Red Keep
"What can I do for you Lord Renly?" Eddard asked, he was just on his way to see Princess Alessia as she said that she needed a word with him "I have a lot to do in little time."
"My brother has named you protector of the Realm did he not?" Renly said "I know he did. And he also named Martin as his heir, it will not matter either way to Cersei, if you give me time I can put one hundred swords at your command."
"And what am I meant to do with these swords?" Eddard questioned, he did not like the idea of what Robert was saying.
"Strike, take control of the throne. Do so tonight and make sure that Cersei doesn't take control and install the rightful heir to the throne." Renly replied
"Which would be Martin, he is the only trueborn son of the King, and he is the rightful King." Eddard said
Renly scoffed "Martin doesn't care much for the throne, he doesn't want to be King but I could. People love me."
Eddard stared wide eye at Renly, he was just suggesting that he helped Renly usurp the throne on Robert's death bed. Renly had a weak claim to the throne as even after Martin, Robert's oldest brother Stannis was the next heir to the throne as he was older than Renly. "No" Eddard said simply "I will not dishonour Robert's memory by shedding Blood and dragging frightful children from their beds."
Renly looked at him in disbelief "If we don't act now, it will be too late for you, me and everyone we care about."
"Prince Martin Baratheon is the rightful heir to the throne" Eddard said coolly "Even if Myrcella and Tommen are bastards born of incest, he still cares for them. Martin would never stand for it if they come to harm and Martin can get the support from the royal army. The Legions and Tullius will never fight for a usurper."
"Very well then" Renly said and he walked away and then Eddard also walked off to find Princess Alessia.
Unknown to Eddard, he was being watched by two hidden figures hiding in the shadows. One was a pale skinned man wearing black robes with a grey skull on the front with a crown made from bones on his head while the other was a teenage boy with black hair and a sadist look on his face.
"So our plan is taking place." The teenage boy said
"That right Snow" the older man said "Soon our plans will be ready and the lord of Domination will unite our realms together."
"What about the Lord of Destruction and his Dawn cult?" the teenager asked again.
"Those fools will get themselves destroyed like last time, but we are the Worm cult and we have our agents hidden thought the realm, when the time is right, we'll strike but we'll let the realm destroy itself and this pathetic Dawn Cult get themselves killed."
…
Later, Eddard made it to Princess Alessia's chambers where he met with the Princess and also Willas Tyrell "Lord Stark" Willas said "I know why you are here. Alessia has already told me that Martin has been named heir."
"That's right" Eddard said "But the queen will never allow him to take the throne, she will do whatever it takes to place Joffrey on the throne."
"That is why we must stop her" Alessia said "The letter to the Legions will get Martin's support from the Legions which he will need if there is war."
"There is something else" Eddard said "Lord Renly approached me, he suggested that he took the throne instead saying that Martin was just a boy."
Both Willas and Alessia gasped and narrowed their eyes "I can't believe him" Alessia said "How could he think about doing this. And he knows nothing of ruling, he doesn't even take his role of Master of Laws seriously and he thinks he can be King."
"This is my brother Loras' work as well as my father's" Willas said "They have always desired more power and they see Renly as a way of being able to control the throne."
"What can we do about it?" Alessia asked
"Well I still hold influence in the Reach as heir to Highgarden" Willas said "I may be able to get Martin support from some houses like the Tarly's who dislike my father for his foolishness and maybe a few of the Marcher lords. But houses like the Rowan and Redwynes will fight only for my father."
"We could take control of the Throne room and place my mother and brother under House Arrest." Alessia said "The city watch can help with that, Commander Adamus is loyal and will support Martin. I'll go speak to him and then when the time is right, we'll take control of the throne."
Eddard looked at her and Willas, he just hoped that he was doing the right thing, Prince Martin was the rightful heir to the throne and he had also been named heir to the throne. He chose not to reveal the true parentage of Joffrey and the other Bastards born of Incest so Robert would die peacefully. The one man who worried him was Tywin Lannister, he would not like the fact that his daughter had been imprisoned and he would most likely not believe that his oldest son and daughter were in a sexual relationship as that would stain the Lannister name. But Martin had been named heir and if Cersei tried to place Joffrey on the throne then that could be used against her.
…
Vaes Dothrak:
"So who is this Mockingbird?" Daenerys asked when they returned to the Khal's tent.
"I've never met him but I have heard of him" Farengar said "His real name is Petyr Baelish, he was once the master of coin for Robert Baratheon. However his son discovered that he had been stealing money from the taxes and treasury for himself and investing it in his brothels and wine which made him rich. When it was discovered Robert ordered his arrest but Baelish fled and has not been seen since."
"What was he trying to do to the Khaleesi?" Jorah asked
"Well Baelish only wants one thing, power." Farengar said "His family was only a minor family who had a watchtower in the Vale. His father was a friend to Lord Hoster Tully of Riverrun and Lord Baelish saved his life in the War of the Ninepenny Kings. His son was foster with Lord Hoster and he was close with his daughters. Rumours say that he took the Maidenhead of the girls and Duels Brandon Stark for Lady Catelyn's hand. Baelish wants more power and I suspect that he was trying to cause chaos for Westeros. I don't think the wine was meant to kill you. I think he was meant to say that he was sent by the King which would lead to the Dothraki trying to invade Westeros and he would take advantages of this chaos."
Daenerys glared at the floor, she had nearly been tricked and she would not fall for it. This Baelish had tried to kill her and she will pay. The merchant who tried to poison her was tied to a post and then Khal Drogo came in.
"Are you alright Moon of my Life?" he asked in Dothraki "Are you hurt?"
"No my Sun and Stars" Daenerys replied in Dothraki "But this man must pay for this."
Drogo narrowed his eyes and then he turned to all his riders "This man who calls himself Mockingbird has made an attempt on the Moon of my Life. Will you stand for it?" The Dothraki men cheered for Drogo as he continued his speech "I will take my Khalasar to the edges of this land to find this Mockingbird! He say pay for this! I will rip his eyes out and I shall take his head as a trophy! This I swear! Drogo, son of Bharbo swear." Daenerys stared as the Dothraki cheered for Drogo while Jorah watched on. Farengar sighed in relief, he had been able to prevent someone from trying to invade Westeros and now Prince Martin's old enemy was now being hunted down. Soon Petyr Baelish would no longer trouble Westeros or so Farengar hoped.
The Khalasar later left Vaes Dothrak to begin their search for Baelish. They dragged the merchant who sold the wine along with them tied to a horse and completely naked in order to teach him a lesson. Daenerys held no remorse but she knew that this assassin would probably die from the heat.
King's Landing: Red Keep.
Lord Stark found Princess Alessia with some of the City Guard of Kings Landing. Eddard remembered that the city watch were famous for their gold cloaks which made them easy to spot. But ever since Martin returned everything had changed. Now the regular city guards wore light brown armour with no cloaks and they had a spiked shield for protection. Ned had also brought some of his guards including Jory, Wyl, Hewert, Fat Tom, Varly and Desmond. The officers of the City Watch wore white armour instead of the brown and their armour was heavier. There were four Watch officers with the guards Alessia brought. They were Adamus Philida, Andens Avidius, Ulrich Leland and Hieronymus Lex. Alessia was also wearing her leather armour and she had her bow strapped to her back, her pet Jaguar Aylied was with her.
"So you've made it then." Alessia said
"Yes I have" Eddard said "I just hope we're doing the right thing."
"This is for the good of the Kingdom." Alessia said "This Kingdom would fall apart under Joffrey and Martin will be the King that this kingdom needs."
"Where is Lord Renly and his men?" Eddard asked
Alessia narrowed her eyes, "Renly has already left the city and he rides for Storm's End, we may face war from him."
Eddard sighed and then he heard the bells ringing. He looked at the floor in sadness. The bells could only mean one thing, his old friend King Robert Baratheon was dead.
"Lord Stark, Princess Alessia" a steward spoke "King Joffrey demands both of you to go to the Throne room."
"King Joffrey?" Alessia questioned
"My apologizes Princess, your father King Robert Baratheon is dead. The laws of the realm say that Joffrey is now King."
"Well we better go and meet him." Eddard said
"Agreed" Alessia added and he turn to Commander Adamus "You ready Adamus?"
"My men are ready" Adamus replied.
"Let's get this over with" Andens said
…
Soon Eddard, Alessia and the soldiers arrived at the Throne Room where Joffrey was sitting on the Iron Throne with his mother Cersei standing next to her. Ser Barristan and Joffrey's sworn Shield, Sandor Clegane or the Hound were standing nearby and Joffrey's own pet Jaguar Hearteater was at the base of the throne.
Heateater was the male black spotted Jaguar and was the most aggressive of all the Jaguars. Joffrey fed him pieces of meat and watched as he torn the meat apart. Sometimes Joffrey found birds or rats and watched as Hearteater tore them to pieces after he chased them down. Joffrey had encouraged Hearteater's aggressiveness as this had caused problems with Hearteater chasing servants or biting people which resulted in Hearteater being under watch. But now that Martin was dead that was no longer needed in Joffrey's eyes. To him, having his beast would put fear into the eyes of his enemies.
"I command the Council make all necessary arrangements for my Coronation. I wish to be crowned within the fortnight." Joffrey demanded
Alessia glared at her brother. He couldn't even be respectful for his father's death and wait until the realm had mourned his death. Eddard stepped forward "Ser Barristan, I believe that no man can question your honour" he said and he handed him Robert's will "I would request that you read this scroll."
Barristan walked forward and took the scroll that Eddard held out to him. "King Robert's seal unbroken." He said and he broke the seal on the scroll before he unrolled it and read what the scroll said "I Robert of the House Baratheon, First of his name, King of the Andals and the First Men. Lord of the Seven Kingdoms and protector of the Realm name my second son Prince Martin Baratheon as my heir."
"WHAT!" Joffrey yelled "I'M THE KING HERE. I'M THE OLDEST SON. TELL HIM SISTER!"
Alessia glared at Joffrey "Sorry brother" she said and she drew her bow "But father told me that he was naming Martin as his heir."
Cersei took the scroll from Barristan and then to the shock of everyone, she tore the scrolls to pieces "Those were King Roberts's words!" Barristan yelled
"We have a new King now" Cersei insisted "He will be the greatest King this realm has ever known."
"Mother you cannot believe that!" Alessia shouted "I will not go against my father's words and Martin will go against you. A copy was sent to him so he will know that he was named as heir."
"Then I'll crush him with my royal army" Joffrey said "And you as well my traitorous sister and that lover of yours." Alessia stared at him "Don't be so supprised sister, I've known for some time and so has mother. You've been in a Relationship with Willas Tyrell. I'll send his head back to his family at Highgarden."
Alessia scoffed "The Legions will not fight for you!" she spat "King Robert's will make them fight for Martin."
"We'll say the will was forged." Cersei suggested
"But I've already sent Martin the signet ring" Alessia said, that was actually a lie as it was locked up in Willas' chambers. She had decided against having it in her room. "That ring will gain him the loyally of the Legions. The North, Riverlands and Vale will join Martin while all you have will be the Lannisters."
"ENOUGH!" Joffrey yelled and he turned to Barristan and the Hound "DOG, KINGGUARD, KILL THEM KILL THEM ALL!"
The Hound drew his sword and Barristan looked unsure on what to do while Hearteater snarled and he looked ready to jump at the soldiers.
"Ser Barristan is a good man" Eddard said to Adamus "No harm is to come to him and the children. Take the Queen and Joffrey to their chambers until Prince Martin arrives."
Adamus drew his sword and the other city watch guards followed "You heard the man, it's time to do what we were meant to do." However Adamus then felt a pain in his back when a sword was driven through it. Alessia turned and was shocked to see Andens driving his sword.
"Andens you fucking traitor!" Lex yelled
"I just took the queen's offer" Andens sneered "I only care for the money and they promised to make me a lord, now boys!"
Then several more of the guards betrayed them and slew the ones that were loyal. Ulrich started off by driving his sword through Hewert's stomach and the one of Ulrich's guards, Tyrellious drew his sword and killed Fat Tom and Wyl. The Hound joined the fight and sliced Varly's sword hand off and then chopped Varly in two. Desmond and Lex fought side by side as they slew several of the traitors but they soon fought Andens who managed to slice Desmond's throat and they he hit Lex on the back before swinging around and Lex's head was sent flying from his shoulders. Ulrich managed to knock Eddard to the ground and he was held down by several of the traitor guards.
"Alessia go now, leave me you must warn Martin!" he yelled "Find my daughters, get them to safety!"
Alessia nodded before she shot a suit of armour which created a distraction which allowed Alessia to flee through the door. Eddard was then beaten by the traitor guards as he watched as the last few guards were killed. The last thing Eddard saw was Joffrey's Jaguar joining the fight and he took Jory to the ground before tearing his throat out with his teeth.
…
Unknown location, North of the Wall:
Far North of the Wall in a secret location in an old cave, the remains of the Daedric cult, the Mythic Dawn welcomed their newest member. Viserys Targaryen. Viserys was now dressed in the Mythic dawn robes which were red with the yellow half sun symbol of the Mythic Dawn on the robes. Every member of the cult wore the same robes except for their leader, Mankar Camaeron who wore blue robes.
"We welcome our newest member to our cult" Mankar spoke "He shall walk among the chosen when Lord Dagon walks among the world of mortals again."
"Dawn is breaking!" the cult chanted
"He wield the razor of Dagon" Mankar added "This is a sign that he is the Lord of Destruction's chosen. He will play a big role in our mission."
"Greet the New Day!" the cult chanted
"Now we must carry on our training." Mankar replied "We cannot reveal ourseleves when we are not ready. The fools thought we were wiped out before but we rose again. Soon our mission will begin again when the time is right. Now carry on your training."
The mythic Dawn cult left leaving only Viserys and Mankar left in the room below an altar of Dagon. A large four armed statue of the Daedric prince was there as well. Lying on the statue was the dead body of a septon that Viserys had butchered during his joining ceremony. "Well you are now one of us" Mankar said
"Well I hope that this will help me regain my throne" Viserys snorted "I don't see how a cult of fanatics can help."
"You underestimate the power of Mehrunes Dagon" Mankar snorted "The power of Daedric magic will allow you to summon armour at will and creatures to do your bidding."
"I don't feel any type of magic." Viserys snarled
"Because to first use it you must relax" Mankar's daughter Runa said as she approached Viserys "You must allow the magic to flow through you. Summoning things from Oblivion takes a lot of practice."
"Well I wish there was a way to do this quicker!" Viserys spat "I've waited years and I can't wait much longer!"
"Well there is a way that could help us with our magic but it's risky." Mankar said "Several of our spies say that there is an object of ancient magic that in our hands could increase our magic that will allow us to open more gates to Oblivion at once. It is known as an Elder Scroll but it is locked in Cloud Ruler Temple."
"Wait, you mean the Son of the Usurper has an Elder Scroll?" Viserys asked
"That's right" Mankar said "But he says that it is too dangerous to use so he locked it in the most secure vault in Cloud Ruler Temple and no one but the Blades are allowed in that area."
"Couldn't we just have someone play the part of a member of the Legions?" Mankar's son Raven said "Cloud Ruler Temple is the headquarters of the Legions as well."
"Only the General is allowed to be in those areas." Mankar said "And we can't pretend to be a member of the Blades as each Blade is trained to know every member and they'll ask us questions if we tried to enter and on top of that the vault is designed to resist lock picking thanks to magical locks."
"So the only way is to train!" Viserys snarled "I can't wait much longer."
"Relax" Mankar said "Our spy in King's Landing says that there is huge tension between the sons of the Usurper, the Usurper was injured in a hunting accident and people are fighting over who should be next King. If we wait for Westeros to fight amongst themselves."
"Then they'll be too weak to fight back." Viserys realised "That sounds like a great plan."
"I know" Mankar muttered and then he looked back at the statue of Mehrunes Dagon 'Lord Dagon, soon you shall walk with us again. Martin Septim and the Hero of Kvatch thought they could wipe us out but we will show the world the power of our magic, those foolish Septons and Septa's believe the Seven will protect them but it won't. Soon all of the World will bow before you.'
Chapter end:
Author's notes: Well this is it, my longest chapter yet, the Civil war is about to start now. The Elisif I introduced is the same Elisif who is queen of Skyrim in Elder Scrolls V. She did not have a backstory and so I created one. I will say this though, the Mythic Dawn and Viserys won't play a big role in season 2 but we will be back for a major part in my season 3. We have now met Tywin Lannister who will have an import role in the future. I am also trying to find a way to bring in more Elder Scrolls characters but I have an idea for Daenerys in season 2 but you'll have to see what will happen next but be prepared for violence as there will be a good bit of fighting and battle scenes in the upcoming chapters. I also have to find ways for the Civil War to play out but I can't wait for the upcoming chapters I'll have to write. Don't forget to leave me advice and ready my other Fanfiction story and My Fictionpress stories, 'Erbian The Slaves of Sharia' and 'Demonhunter'.
