The Pointy End:
Well here is episode 8 of season 1 where the Civil war starts. I warn you, there is a lemon scene in this chapter.
King's Landing: Red Keep:
"Those fucking traitors!" Alessia growled as she managed to hide from the guards, her mother had bribed Andens and several other city guards that her brother Martin had trusted. Lord Stark had tried to secure the thrones for Martin but Cersei and Joffrey had taken the throne for themselves. And because she had been involved, Joffrey wanted her head and also Willas' as he knew about their Relationship. Alessia knew that she couldn't stay now, she had to escape but all of the exits were blocked by Lannister guards. Alessia realised that they would to leave through the secret Tunnels and find the Ragged Flagon, the location of Martin's secret Agents in the city. But first she had to find Willas and help him escape and also secure the King's signet ring which Willas had.
Alessia eventually barged into Willas' room where Willas was sitting nearby along with her Jaguar Aylied. "Alessia, what happened"? Willas asked when she saw the fear in his lover's eyes.
"We were betrayed!" Alessia hissed "My mother paid some of the guards to betray us, we have to leave now." Alessia opened up the drawer on Willas' desk where King Robert's signet ring sat. And then she walked over to the bookcase "We must remove this aside so we can slip past it."
Willas came over to help "Don't make it too obvious" Willas said "We can't let the Lannisters follow us."
Alessia and Willas move the bookcase which revealed a small wall which Alessia managed to open a small passage by pushing on the wall. As soon as the two of them along with Aylied managed to enter the tunnel, they carefully placed the bookcase back to cover the hole and then they could hear the sounds of the Lannister guards as they came to the room.
"They're not here." One guard said
"Then find them!" the leader hissed "The King orders those traitors arrested, our comrades are already taking care of the wolves."
That was all Alessia needed to hear as she realised what was happening "The Stark household, Joffrey has ordered the Household slaughtered, we must get there now."
"This Tunnel has a side tunnel which leads to the Stark Household" Willas said "We must hurry; I fear we may be too late."
...
Stark Household:
Lady Sansa Stark was walking with Septa Mordane feeling sad. Today was the day that she would leave her beloved Joffrey behind and go back to Winterfell. She was still upset that her father had cancelled her betrothal to Joffrey and she had gone to the Queen to ask for help as well as Princess Alessia. Alessia had told her that this was for her own good and that it was time for her to grow up and stop dreaming. The Queen had agreed to help her to convince her father to change his mind but now the Queen had been ignoring her and sending her glares.
"Your sister knew perfectly well that she was leaving today" Mordane complained "How could she forget is beyond me."
"She didn't forget" Sansa grumbled "She's with her Dancing master, she's with him every day and coming back with bruises, she's so clumsy."
"If she isn't careful she'll become just like that Princess Alessia" Mordane said "That girl is no lady and would rather act like a boy."
Sansa looked at her, she had said things like that often and sometimes she worried that words like that would get Mordane killed. Prince Martin was protective of his sister and if he heard that Mordane was speaking ill of her then he might order Mordane arrested, it was known that Martin had a dislike of Septas. But then they could hear fighting coming from behind a door as they walked through the corridor "Sush!" Mordane hissed to Sansa, "Go back to your chamber, lock the door and stay there." She ordered
"What is going on?" Sansa questioned as she was scared
"Do as I say, run!" Mordane hissed and Sansa turned and ran as Mordane approached the door and then it was forced open, the last thing Mordane saw were several Lannister soldiers attacking before a blade was forced through her chest.
...
In another part of the Stark Household, Arya Stark and her dancing Master Syrio were practising her Water Dancing Duelling with wooden swords. Arya had been enjoying her lessons as she had been doing what she had always wanted to do her whole life, learn how to fight instead of being inside doing boring lessons with her Septa. She never cared about being a Lady and she wanted to fight. Princess Alessia had been an expert archer and she wondered how she became so good.
"Yes, that's it Arya dear" Syrio said as he observed her form "Flow like water but strike with speed and precision."
Arya smiled as they carried on Duelling "What do we say to death my dear?" Syrio asked
"Not today" Arya answered
"We fight against death every day of our lives" Syrio spoke to her "But sooner or later, Death comes for us all. If you accept Death as an equal and without fear, then you gain one last victory against Death itself. It is the end of one thing but the start of another."
They carried on but they were interrupted by the arrival of several of the Kingsguard.
"Arya Stark you are to come with us at once, your father wants to see you." The lead knight said
Arya looked at the Knight, he knew who this was, it was Meryn Trant of the Kingsguard, he was one of the Knights that Alessia said wasn't worthy of being a Kingsguard as was a puppet of Queen Cersei. Arya glared at him "If my father wanted to see me he would have sent his Stark men, not the Kingsguard!"
"The Little Lady is right" Syrio said "Why would Lord Stark send Lannister men."
"I'm not going anywhere with you!" Arya hissed
Meryn smirked "Take her!" he ordered
Then a few Lannister Soldier approached the two of them and Syrio order Arya to stand behind him. But then there was a growl and then an arrow shot out and hit one of the Lannister guards in the throat. Arya turned around and saw Princess Alessia standing nearby with her bow in her hand and she fired more shots and her Jaguar, Aylied was with her. Aylied jumped onto a Lannister soldier and tore his throat out.
"Arya, Syrio come on we have to go!" Alessia ordered
"You traitors aren't going anywhere!" Meryn Trant growled "The King demands it."
"A false King!" Alessia laughed "You fight for a false King." Alessia then shot an arrow at Meryn's hand and he howled in pain and then she hot the chandelier which fell and created a distraction allowing Alessia, Arya and Syrio to flee towards a hidden door where Willas Tyrell was waiting for them and Aylied followed.
"Come on" Willas said, "We must go now."
"But what about my sister and my father?" Arya asked
Alessia sighed "My mother has thrown Lord Stark in the Black Cells and Sansa has most likely been captured by now."
"We can't leave them!" Arya protested
"We're not leaving the city." Willas said
"We're meeting some of Martin's allies in the city" Alessia said and then they sealed up the hidden doorway and left.
...
Later, the group were in the old sewers in the city and they soon found a locked door "Are you sure we can trust these men?" Willas asked Alessia
"Martin trusted them and they've been his allies" Alessia said "Well as long as he gave them their pay." Alessia gave a few knocks on the door and then a man opened up a flap and glared at them.
"What's the password?" the man ordered
"Dirge!" Alessia growled "Open the Fucking Door!"
The man known as Dirge closed the flap and then unlocked the door and Arya couldn't believe what she saw. It was some kind of an underground tavern. There was a bar with a man serving drinks and tables where people were chatting. Nearly all of them wore the same brown uniform though a few wore a sleeveless grey version while three wore a black version.
"Welcome to the Ragged Flagon" Alessia said to Arya "Home to the Thieves Guild. I must get a message written, I have to warn Martin about what has happened."
Arya looked around and was shocked by what she saw. Many of the Thieves Guild members were all drinking and laughing with each other. A few had straw dummies set up in a corner and were slashing them to pieces with daggers. There were also a few archery targets set up and some were practising archery. Arya looked around and then smiled "I think I'm going to like it here." She said
Castle Black, the Wall:
Jon and Agmaer had heard the sound of the horn blasting which meant that the Rangers were returning. The two of them had gone off to the gate where they saw Grandmaster Isran and Lord Commander Mormont pulled a sleight through with two bodies on.
"Did you find my uncle Benjen?" Jon asked
"No, we only found these bodies" Isran said
"I recognise these two Rangers." Mormont replied as the bodies were placed in the centre of Castle Black's courtyard "They're Othor and Jafer Flowers. These are the two Rangers that went with Benjen, by the look of them, they've been dead for a while."
"But where's Benjen?" Jon asked as now he was scared.
"There was no body" Isran said "First Ranger Benjen may still be alive but missing"
Agmaer then bent over and sniffed the bodies "There is no smell" he said as he turned to Isran "If they have been dead for a while, wouldn't there be a smell of rot."
Isran then sniffed and he too noticed that there was no smell and then his eyes widened in fear.
"Is everything all right Grandmaster?" Sorine asked
"Sorine" Isran spoke "Hand me that torch, I need to see if what I fear is right." Sorine handed Isran the torch and then he threw the torch onto the body of the rangers. As soon as the clothes of the rangers caught fire, the rangers eyes opened and they let out unearthly screeches as their clothes burnt and then they fell silent.
"By the Old Gods!" Mormont gasped in shocked
"It is just as we fear" Isran sighed "These men are wights, dead men risen from the dead by White Walkers, weapons cannot kill them and only fire can kill them."
"But where is uncle Benjen?" Jon asked in fear
Mormont sighed "Well he can't be a Wight otherwise he would have been with these two. But he may still be alive. But with these Wights, this shows that the White Walkers may be real, we must warn the kingdoms."
"The nobles will not believe us." Isran protested "Prince Martin is a good man but he will need proof before he can do anything. Most nobles just believe that White Walkers are just stories and legends."
...
Cloud Ruler Temple:
Prince Martin rode along the road which went up to the fort of Cloud Ruler Temple where the Legion was based. Martin needed to stop here so he could send a message to King's Landing and the Lannisters in order to prevent a Civil war from starting. His uncle Tyrion, Delphine and his new friend Elisif were riding alongside him. During the nights when they made camp, Martin and Elisif had begun to chat with each other and they enjoyed each other's company. They were just a short ride from Cloud Ruler Temple and they were now at the small mining town that Martin had built near the fort. But when he got there he noticed that something was wrong. There seemed to be more people here than usual and many of them looked quite sick, many of them were children.
"What has happened here?" Elisif asked "This town is full of people."
"They're aren't meant to be this many people in this town" Martin said
It was then that a tall balding man came up to Martin, he wore heavy steel armour with shoulder guards. Martin recognised him as Thongvor Silver Blood, the older brother of Thonar Silver Blood and the main muscle of the forces that guard the town. "My Prince" Thongvor greeted "It is good that you've returned, General Tullius is waiting for you at Cloud Ruler Temple."
"Thongvor" Martin spoke "What is going on here? Why are there so many people who look like they're fleeing?"
"A lot has happened since you've been in the Vale" Thongvor spoke "Tullius and Rikke can explain to you more"
So Martin took Elisif, Delphine and Tyrion up the Hill to Cloud Ruler Temple and when they got there, they saw that the Legions soldiers stationed at the fort were all preparing for war.
"It looks like the Legion is preparing for war" Tyrion said
"Yes but why" Martin asked "I never gave the order."
Then they found Tullius who was speaking with Rikke "I'm telling you, Tywin will make his base at Dragon Bridge."
"Dragon Bridge?" Tullius asked "But that is just a small woodcutting village and stop."
"That's true but Dragon Bridge is also the home to the only crossing over the Karth river for miles and most of the river is in a gorge, it is the perfect strategic location to stop an army from crossing."
"Tullius, Rikke" Martin announced himself "What is going on here? Why are their refuges in the town, why are the soldiers preparing for war and what is it this about my Grandfather?"
"Oh my Prince, you've returned" Rikke said "You mean you haven't heard the news."
"What news?" Martin asked
Rikke and Tullius looked at each other and then Rikke handed a message over to Martin. Martin then read the scrolls which said:
'My brother Martin, I'm not sure if you have heard but I'm afraid our father is dead, he went on a hunting trip and came back injured after being attacked by a boar. He was badly injured and I'm sorry but he has died. However, in his will he named you as his hair claiming that Joffrey was unfit to rule. Tommen, Myrcella and Willas knew this but mother still tried to place Joffrey on the throne. King's Landing is in chaos as now Joffrey has thrown Eddard in the Black cells after he tried to secure the throne for you. I had to flee with Willas and Arya after we got involved, we are hiding in the Thieves Guild hall and we will send you a message soon. Please listen to me brother, you have to stop Joffrey, he will destroyed everything you have built, you are the true heir to the throne.'
"Alessia wrote this?" Martin said
"That's right" Tullius said "The letter cane with your father's signet ring. It seems that your father did name you as heir to the throne."
Martin sighed and he looked around, he never did want to be King and he wasn't sure on what to do now. But Alessia was right, Joffrey was unfit to rule and would destroy the Kingdom with his cruelty so Martin made his choose "My sister is right, Joffrey cannot remain on the throne, we need to call for our Allies but we are going to war."
Delphine and Tyrion smiled at Martin as they knew that he would be the perfect King that Westeros need. Martin looked at them "We need time to prepare, escort Lady Elisif to a room where she will feel welcome and escort the traitor Lysa Arryn to a cell. I'll decide on what to do with her later."
...
Red Keep: Black Cells:
The Black cells were the dungeons of the Red Keep. They were known as the Black cells as all the prisoners could see was black as they were no light at all. Eddard Stark had been thrown in these cells after Andens and the other traitors to Martin had captured him. The cells had been known to drive people insane and Eddard could see why, he could not see a thing until he saw a figure enter his cell with a torch. He turned to see Varys the Spider enter his cell.
"Lord Stark, you must be thirsty?" he greeted and he held out a waterskin "I promise you that it is not poisoned." He took a drink from it to prove it.
Eddard quickly took a drink "What happened to my daughters and Princess Alessia?" he asked fearing the worse.
"The Lannisters have your oldest daughter confined to a room in the Red Keep." Varys replied "Your youngest daughter was taken by Princess Alessia and her lover Willas and are currently hiding though no one not even me knows where."
Eddard sighed, if Varys didn't know where Arya was then she was safe.
"Tell me Lord Stark?" Varys said "What madness made you think to confront the Queen about the truth about her children?"
"I thought that she would love her Children that she would not want them to come to harm." Eddard said
"Even if King Robert knew the truth, Martin would not have allowed him to hurt his younger half siblings." Varys said "Tell me Lord Stark, so you love your children?"
"With all my heart." Eddard answered
"The Queen loves her Golden Lion and she will do whatever it takes to make sure he keeps his throne. It seems that the Civil War that Martin tried to stop has begun. This is only the beginning."
Eddard looked down, he knew that he didn't belong in the South, the Starks were made for the cold of the North not the heat of the South and the Politics of the South, he just hope that his son would do whatever it takes to help Prince Martin.
Winterfell:
Robb Stark was in the Great Hall with Theon Greyjoy, Maester Luwin and Danica as he read over a message that had arrived from his sister Sansa in Kings Landing. It spoke of how his father Eddard Stark had committed treason and that he had been arrested and Sansa was begging Robb to come down to King's Landing to swear fealty to Joffrey as the rightful King.
"Treason?" Robb asked "Sansa wrote this?"
"It is your sister's hand but the Queen's words" Luwin said "You are being summoned to King's Landing to swear fealty to the new King."
"Joffrey puts my father in chains and now he wants his ass kissed!" Robb growled "And this is not the only the only thing he has done. He also lied and tried to hurt my sisters!" he remembered the raven he got from Arya about how Joffrey had nearly gotten his sister's Direwolves killed when he lied. Lady and Nymeria had arrived back safely.
"This is a royal command my Lord." Luwin said "But word is that Prince Martin has chosen to rise up in Rebellion and everyone is saying that he was named as heir to the throne."
"That must be this so called 'treason' your father was arrested for" Theon stated "It seems that Prince Martin's mother would rather her 'Golden Lion' had the throne. They are saying that Lord Stark forged King Robert's last will."
"My father would never have done that." Robb stated "I will not refuse Joffrey's command. I will go to King's Landing. But not alone. The Northern houses, they are sworn to defend my father right?"
"That's right my lord" Luwin stated
"Call the Banners, we are marching south to free my father and sisters and support Prince Martin against his brother."
"As you command my lord" Luwin said and he went off so he could prepare the ravens to send to all of the high lords of the North.
"I should go and check on young Bran." Dancia said as she left too leaving only Theon and Robb.
"I guess we are going south after all" Robb said to his old friend
"We are" Theon said "But we will win this war. I know we will."
Horn Hill. The Reach:
It was not just Winterfell that received a message from King's Landing. Horn Hill, the seat of House Tarly also received a message the only difference was that this one was from Willas who had sent a message to some of the Reach Houses who he hoped would aid Prince Martin. Horn Hill had been the seat of House Tarly since the Age of Heroes and was a strong keep and that was needed since the castle was located in the Dornish Marches and often saw fighting from Dornish outlaws and houses from Dorne. Right now the head of House Tarly, Lord Randyll Tarly sat at his dinner table along with his son and heir Dickon Tarly since he oldest son Samwell had joined the Blades along with his three daughters. His Wife, Melessa of house Florent was also at the table along with Maester. Lord Randyll Tarly was a well-known Lord of the Reach as he was nicknamed Tywin Lannister of the Reach due to him being very stern and sometimes Cruel. Randyll was a lean balding man with a short grey beard. He was a well-known Battle Commander as he led the Vanguard during the Battle of Ashford where King Robert Baratheon faced his only defeat during his rebellion. Even though Randyll had led the Vanguard, Lord Mace Tyrell had claimed that he had won the battle. This caused Randyll to have a dislike for Mace Tyrell though he did respect his sons.
That was why Randyll had gathered everyone to the table, he had received a message claiming that Willas was supporting Prince Martin in the war that was going to start and Willas was calling for houses to support Martin. Randyll knew that Willas was a good man, he had been a good fighter before his accident which crippled his leg but he never let that injury stop him from trying to be a good lord. Randyll respected him for that. He had also received a raven from his Liege lord, Mace Tyrell who was ordering the Houses of the Reach to support him while he was supporting Renly Baratheon and right now, Randyll had to make a choice on who to support. His family had read over the letters that had been sent. "So, who do you think House Tarly should support in this war?" he asked
"Well by law, we should be obeying the orders of our Lord and support Renly Baratheon." Melessa claimed
"True mother" Dickon said "But remember something, Willas claims that Prince Martin was named heir which means that he is the rightful King, not Renly. And on top of that, Renly has no idea how to lead men. Willas always said that he saw everything as a game."
"And when Prince Martin came here to visit, he said that he respected our House for defeating his father at Ashford despite Lord Tyrell claiming victory." His daughter Talla said "Martin seems like the best option for King. His father may have been a fool but Martin is not."
"So then I guess I should declare for Prince Martin then" Randyll said "Dickon will march with me to Cloud Ruler Temple. Ser Hyle Hunt will march will me with house Hunt's men."
"But what is Lord Mace Tyrell stops you?" Melessa asked
"Well we best March with the Second Legion at Fort Greenwall" Dickon replied "They will most likely declare for Martin and Lord Tyrell has no influence over the Legions."
"My son is right, we march with the second Legion." Randyll declared
And son later that day, Lord Randyll Tarly, dressed in his usual Boiled leather and mail armour with a grey breastplate and his family's Valyrian Steel Sword Heartsbane strapped to his back in a jewelled scabbard marched with his men alongside his son Dickon and the rest of his men along with his vassal of House Hunt.
…
King's Landing, Small Council Chambers:
"My men are searching the city but we can find no trace of your daughter or the Master of Coin" the new Commander of the city watch Andens said
"Find them!" Queen Regent Cersei ordered "I want them both found but unharmed." Cersei wanted to kill Willas Tyrell herself for laying his hands on her daughter.
"I will do as you command" Andens said and he left.
Cersei then turned to Grand Maester Pycelle "Has the order been sent?" she asked
"Your Grace, I sent the raven to your father which said that he was being order to put down the revolt in the Riverlands." Pycelle replied "The army hit hand and has already taken most of the Riverlands. Your brother currently lays siege to Riverrun."
"Good" Cersei replied "But what of my son Martin, has he replied to the King's Order?"
Pycelle didn't say anything but then Varys did "Your Grace, this arrived for you." He handed Cersei a letter which had the seal of the legions which was Martin's personal seal of the dragon in a diamond shape.
Cersei read the letter "To my idiot of a mother." Cersei read to herself "I warned you, I did warn you about what would happen if you didn't keep Joffrey under control. I know that my father named me as his heir and you knew this. But you still placed Joffrey on the throne and he has already messed up ordering Grandfather into the Riverlands for no proper reason. I never wanted the throne but I won't allow the Seven Kingdoms and everything I built to be destroyed by him. This Civil War began when you imprisoned Lord Stark and now I am throwing my name in this war. Don't expect Lord Tywin to defend you forever as he is not a man to be underestimated and neither am I. Good luck.
Sighed Prince Martin Baratheon."
Cersei sighed, she had hoped that Martin would come and support his brother but he choose to commit treason instead "Burn the letter." She ordered "And call in whatever men we can. We are going to need these men."
…
Winterfell: Great Hall.
As soon as the ravens had been sent, the great houses of the North had arrived with their men. Robb knew the main houses of the North and their families as he had studied them under Maester Luwin.
The Umbers of Last Hearth had arrived with Lord GreatJon Umber leading them along with his son and heir SmallJon Umber. The Glovers of Deepwood Motte with Lord Galbert Glover and his brother Robett Glover. House Karstark, the candidate branch of House Stark of Karhold and we led by Lord Rickard Karstark and his sons Harrion and Torrhen. Ser Wylis and Ser Wendel Manderly of White Harbour led the Manderly forces since their father was unable to attend. House Tallhart of Torrhen's Square led by Lord Helman and his son Benfred has also come as well. The last of the Great Houses of the North, House Bolton of the Dreadfort had arrived with Lord Roose Bolton and his son Domeric Bolton. House Bolton was the one Robb feared the most, his father had always told dark stories of House Bolton and though Domeric was a good man, the family still had a dark history. There had been a story where Roose Bolton had a bastard son called Ramsay who had tried to poison Domeric but Domeric was saved by Prince Martin and his healer Colette so Roose had a bit of respect for Prince Martin. Ramsay had fled but not before stealing something from the dungeons of the Dreadfort.
Robb and Theon saw many of the Banners arrived at Winterfell. The Chains of House Umber, the White Sunburst of House Karstark, the mailed fist of house Glover, the three pine trees of House Tallhart. The Merman of House Manderly and the flayed man of house Bolton. There were also many minor houses as well such as the Moose of House Hornwood, the black axe of house Cerwyn, the Ironwood tree with a sword in of House Forrester, the white hill on blue of house Whitehill, the keys of House Locke, the black bear of House Mormont, the stone hand of House Flint of Flint's finger and the Flints of Willow's watch were also here as well.
There had been a bit of an incident at the start of the Feast when GreatJon called Robb a Green boy and had gotten two of his fingers bitten off by Robb's Direwolf, Grey Wind. GreatJon had then said 'Your meat is bloody tough' which got everyone laughing. Robb planned to march down past Moat Calian and then join Martin's forces near the Twins where they would discuss their next move.
The last people to arrive were the soldiers of the First Legion being commanded by Ulfric Stormcloak, Legate of the First Legion. Ulfric would also be leading the men from his own House Stormcloak. House Stormcloak were one of the oldest houses in the North and they were the lords or Jarls of Windhelm, the second largest settlement in the North after White Harbour. The Harbour was located near Deepwood Motte and in the Northern Mountains were the town was overlooked by the Great Throat of the World, the tallest mountain in the North. House Stormcloak became Kings after the fall of the Septim Empire and ruled until they became Vassals of House Stark though they kept their old title of Jarl instead of Lord. The Stormcloaks were also worshippers of the Nine Divines and they commanded some of the strongest soldiers in the North.
"Ulfric Stormcloak" Robb said when he arrived "It is good to see you marching with us."
"Well I have my orders from my Prince" Ulfric said "Though not all of the First Legion is with me, Galmar had some of them stay behind in order to guard the North and he is also searching for something."
"What is he looking for?" Roose Bolton asked
"I don't know myself though he claimed that it would be something that would help gain more support for Martin." Ulfric claimed "Also I'm not allowed to discuss it as it is Legionnaire business."
"Well I fought alongside your father at the Trident" Greatjon said to Ulfric "I would be honoured to march with his son."
Robb smiled, maybe it was best if some soldiers remained in the North. House Umber had left some of their men to help with the wall under the command of GreatJon's uncles, Mors and Hother Umber. The Dustins of Barrowton and the Ryswells of the Rills had also remained behind while House Reed would watch over the Marshes and Moat Calian.
But before they were ready to march, Ulfric turned to Lord Helmen Tallhart "Lord Tallhart, how is the project going?" he asked
"It's going well" Helmen replied "The craftsmen from House Forrester have been able to build several ships and they are ready to sail if we need then."
"What ships?" Robb asked, he didn't remember anything about ships being built.
"I'll tell you" Theon said "Prince Martin and I have been creating ideas for a new type of ship to be built for the Royal Fleet. An old friend of his had been doing experiments and Martin convinced Lord Tallhart to allow some new ships made of Ironwood and equipped with small Catapults and Crossbows to be built for a naval fleet."
"This new Fleet would come in handy if we needed it to bring supplied and Martin also funded House Manderly to build a new trading fleet at White Harbour to help bring supplies south through the Bite." Ulfric said
"My father says that the ships are ready to sail when we need them." Wylis Manderly said
Robb was then ready and then that day, he was ready to march south with his men to help rescue his father from prison. But before they went, there was one more thing he needed to do.
It was now night time, Robb was leaving with the men he was taking with him south. Robb wanted to leave at night to throw off any Lannister spies that were in the North. Right now, Robb was in his little brother Bran's room where Bran was asleep on his bed. Robb gently tapped Bran on his shoulder and Bran woke up.
"What is it?" Bran asked "What's happening?"
"Shhh it's alright" Robb said quietly
Bran saw that Robb was wearing his riding gear "Where are you going?" he asked
"South" Robb answered "I'm going south with the Northmen to join up with Prince Martin's forces and rescue father."
"But it's the middle of the night." Bran said
"The Lannisters have spies everywhere." Robb replied "I don't want them to know we are coming or that I've left some of our men behind."
"They have more men than we do?" Bran questioned
"For now" Robb said "But when we join Martin, he will have his own soldiers with him."
Bran then sat up on his bed "Can I come with you, my legs are getting better and I am able to walk now."
Robb shook his head "There must always be a Stark at Winterfell." He said "Until I return that will be you. You are not to leave the castle walls while we are gone do you understand?" Bran nodded "Listen to Maester Luwin and look after Rickon. Dancia will be here to protect you. I will send letters whenever I can. If you don't hear anything, don't be scared." Robb then patted Bran on the head and then he left.
Bran the looked at his doorway after Robb had left and then he saw a shadow. He realised that it was his younger brother Rickon. "How long have you been hiding out there?" he asked as Rickon entered his room "Robb will be looking for you, to say goodbye."
"They've all gone away" Rickon said simply.
"They'll be back soon." Bran said "Robb will free our father, and they will come back with mother."
But Rickon just stared at him "No they won't" he said simply as he left.
...
A few days later, Bran was in the Godswood of Winterfell as he prayed at a weirwood tree to the Old Gods "Please Watch over Robb" Bran preyed "And watch over all the other men from Winterfell and Theon too, and Prince Martin and all his soldiers.
"You hear them boy" came a voice and Bran turned to see the Wildling woman Osha approach him with chains on her legs "The Old Gods are answering you."
"What are you doing here?" Bran demanded as he narrowed his eyes at her
"They're my gods too" Osha said "Beyond the wall they're the only gods, apart from a few people who worship the beings you southerns call Divines or good Daedra. Even slaves are allowed to prey."
"You're not a slave" Bran said Osha shook the chains on her feet to say that she is with the chains "You're a prisoner, you and your friends did attack me."
Osha smirked "I'm not complaining little lord" she replied "Just telling truths
"What did you mean about hearing them?" Bran asked
"You asked them and they're answering you" Osha said and then she made a shushing sound "Open your ears." And Bran could hear the leaves on the trees rustling.
"It's only the wind" Bran protested
"Who do you think sends the wind if not the gods?" Osha asked as the Wildlings believe in the Old Gods like the First men before the Andals came to Westeros "They see you boy, they hear you" and then Osha pointed at the carved face of the weirwood which had red sap coming from the eyes "Your brother and your princely friend will get no help where he's going. The Old Gods have no power in the South; the Weirwoods there were all cut down a long time ago. How can they watch when they have no eyes?" They were then interrupted when they heard footsteps and Osha and Bran turned and they saw the Simple minded stable boy Hodor who was naked with just a cloth around his shoulders. Osha laughed "Oh well there is a big man. He has giants blood in him or I'm the Queen."
Bran snorted "Go back and find your clothes Hodor, go dress" Bran ordered
"Hodor" Hodor said as he walked away
"Are there really giants beyond the wall?" Bran asked as he looked at Osha
"Giants and much worse than giants" Osha revealed "I tried telling your brother that he is marching the wrong way, all these swords, they should be going north boy. North not south! The cold wins are rising"
Castle Black the Wall.
Jon was busy practicing Swordplay with Agmaer along with the Night's Watch recruits, Grenn and Pyp. Until Isran called Jon over and the two of them entered Maester Aemon's chambers where Maester Aemon along with Lord Commander Mormont stood with two pieces of paper.
"We've received two messages Jon Snow." Aemon said quietly "One from Prince Martin and one from your half brother."
"We've got another problem" Mormont said "The Seven Kingdoms have fallen into Civil War. King Robert is dead, killed after being injured by a boar during a hunt. On his deathbed, he named Martin as his heir but the older brother Joffrey has usurped the throne and now a Civil War has started. This means that Martin is unable to send any men to help us."
"What about my father?" Jon asked
Isran answered for him "Your father was arrested after a few city watchmen betrayed him and turned towards the Queens side. He is now in a Black Cell. But Princess Alessia is still in the city and she may have a way to help him."
Jon looked scared but then he turned around and began to walk away "I have to go help him. Robb's gone to war and he'll need me."
"Jon!" came the shout of Serena who was also in the room "Have you just forgotten about what you saw before. You're just going to leave us."
"He is my father!" Jon hissed "Robb is my brother! They need me."
Aemon laughed "The gods were cruel when they choose to test my vows." He laughed "They waited until I was old and frail and blind. What could I do when they brought the ravens from the south with the ruin of my house, the death of my family? I was helpless, blind and frail. But when I heard that they murdered my whole family and the children, even the little children. The youngest was just a babe."
Jon looked at him "Who are you?" he asked
"My father was Maekar, first of his name." Aemon said "My little brother Aegon ruled after him after I refused the throne. Then Aegon was followed by his son Jaehaerys ruled after him and he was followed by his son Aerys who they called the Mad King."
Jon then realised who Maester Aemon was "You're Aemon Targaryen." He gasped. Aemon Targaryen was the third child of King Maekar. His older brother Daeron died of a pox and Aerion died after thinking that drinking wildfire would turn him into a dragon. His grandfather King Daeron II had sent him to the citadel as he feared that there were too many Targaryens in King's Landing. Even after he became a Maester, Aemon didn't want to be involved in Court and was the Maester at Dragonstone. After Maekar's death during the Peake uprising, Aemon refused the offer of the throne and went to the Night's Watch so that he wouldn't be used in any conspires against his brother Aegon.
"I am a Maester if the Citadel, bound in service to Castle Black and the Night's Watch" Aemon said "I will not tell you to stay or go. You must make that choice yourself and live with it for the rest of your days as I have."
Jon looked at Mormont and Isran, he knew that Robb and Prince Martin would have wanted him to do the right thing and right now, he was needed here. "I'm staying for now. The Wall needs me."
Mormont and Isran smiled at Jon.

Cloud Ruler Temple:
It had been a while since Martin had ordered his men to start calling his army in order to start coming together. Right now, he and Tyrion were walking along the walls of Cloud Ruler Temple as they talked about what they were going to do.
"So you are really going to do it then?" Tyrion asked
"I have to" Martin said "I won't allow everything I built to be destroyed because of the action of my foolish mother and my sadist brother. I hoped my beating of him at the Inn at the crossroads would have taught him to stop acting like he can do whatever he wants but it seems that nothing will teach him. It is too late for him to learn. If only mother didn't coddle him when he was younger, then maybe he would have understood. But now it seems that I have to put an end to this. Kings who start their rule at a bad start only get worse."
"Well you know what I'm going to do then." Tyrion replied
"You don't have to do this uncle" Martin said "You can stay here."
"Right now no one knows that I am here." Tyrion said "You need allies and my father has them hidden. I can be your inside man and that Sellsword who came with us can help me."
Tyrion was talking about a Sellsword called Bronn who had come with the Blades from the Eyrie. Tyrion was going to take Bronn with him as he went to the Lannisters. Tyrion had already paid him to say that he fought for Tyrion before Martin arrived and Martin arrested Lysa later. This would help Tyrion to get right into Tywin's forces and allow him to spy on the Lannisters and help Martin out as well as find supporters for him
Martin sighed "I still don't like the idea of you going undercover." He said "Tywin Lannister is not a man to be underestimated. What if he sees right through you?"
"Don't worry about that." Tyrion said "I am good at being careful. My Dwarfish appearance makes me look like I'm no trouble. Besides, I'll be of no help to you in battle; I'm not a military specialist so I will serve as best I can on the opposite side. You worry about winning the battles, I'll help gather political support."
Martin knelt down and he hugged Tyrion "I'll miss you uncle. You were always the uncle who could cheer me up. Take care of yourself." Then Martin turned to Bronn "And you protect my uncle, you will receive rewards for helping him."
"Farewell my future King" Tyrion said as he and rode walked out of Cloud Ruler Temple. It was going to be a long walk as it would suspicious if they took horses so Tyrion and Bronn would have to walk. Tyrion looked as he saw Martin on the Walls of Cloud Ruler Temple watching him.

Red Wastes, Essos.
Daenerys sat on top of her horse as she watched as Khal Drogo's Bloodriders brought in several prisoners that they had brought with them from several villages. Apparently, they had been seen with the Mockingbird sigil that this Petyr Baelish had. The villages were located in the Lhazar which was an area near the desert of the Red Wastes. This area was inhabited by peaceful Sheppard's known as the Lhazareen. These people were often targets for Slavers and Dothraki Khalasars. Drogo's Bloodriders, Qotho, Haggo and Mago brought several prisoners. One of them was clearly a travelling merchant while the other looked like some kind of priestess. Jorah and Farengar sat on their horses next to Daenerys as each prisoner was brought in front of Drogo and they were questioned.
"That Travelling merchant apparently sold wine to Baelish but doesn't know what for." Jorah said as the merchant was questioned "And this Sellsword was in the service of Baelish" but then Drogo slashed his curved sword known as an Arakh and the slit the throat of the Sellsword "He apparently called you the Dragon's Whore." Then the woman was brought forward and many of the Dothraki started yelling at her and some started to tear her clothes.
"What are they doing?" Daenerys demanded
"This woman is a Maegi" Farengar said "She used a type of magic called Blood Magic that uses blood. Even mages like me frown on that type of magic. It is hated, mistrusted and forbidden by the Dothraki and they kill anyone who is associated with it."
"Tell them to stop" Daenerys demanded "We need her alive." Jorah tried to tell Drogo but no one could hear them and so Daenerys rode towards Drogo and spoke to him and then Drogo ordered them to stop."
"We should we!" Mago demanded "She is a Maegi, she should be put down so she doesn't hurt anyone."
"He could be the only one who can lead us to this Mockingbird. Take her with us to Vaes Dothrak, make sure she doesn't escape." Drogo ordered.
Daenerys sighed, she had prevented the Dothraki from raping a woman but she didn't notice that the Maegi was smirking at her.
Unknown Location:
Viserys Targaryen sat alongside Mankar Camoran and his two children, Raven and Runa. They were talking about what they should do. They were sat below a large statue of Mehrunes Dagon and the Mythic Dawn holy book, the Mysterium Xarxes was on an alter.
"Our main spy in Kings Landing, Jearl, says that a civil war has started when Joffrey usurped the throne when the Baratheon Usurper named his second son as his heir." Raven said
"Now parts of the Kingdoms are starting to pick sides" Runa added
"So a civil war has started" Viserys smirked "This is the perfect time to strike, we can take my throne."
"Not yet" Mankar said "I know that you are inpatient but what is the point of striking now? If we reveal ourselves too early then we may not be ready to face off against the enemy and they may unite against us. If we let them destroy each other..."
"Then they will be weakened and not pose much of a threat" Viserys added and he smiled "I like it."
"And we can also prepare ourselves by practising our new magic we have discovered from the repaired Xarxes." Mankar said
"In order to win this war we need to be able to open our Oblivion Gates" Runa said "And we have the perfect target in mind."
"Your sister has returned to Vaes Dothrak with her husband." Raven said "We can open a gate there and destroy the Dothraki and your sister."
Viserys smirked "I love it. I want my whore of a sister to pay along with those Savages!" he yelled "When you see why sister, send her my regards and make it painful."
"You two know what to do." Mankar ordered "Meet up with Harrow and his agents and prepare the gate, I will be with you soon. Prince Viserys here will be practising his new Daedric magic."
Viserys smirked and soon he would be able to take his rightful place on his throne. He held up Mehrunes Razor and sneered "Just you wait son of the Usurper, I'm coming for you and this razor will have your blood on it.
…
Cloud Ruler Temple:
Martin was in the war room with General Tullius and Rikka. They were discussing their plans "Tywin Lannister has in army stationed at Dragon's Bridge. Jaime Lannister has already won a victory at the Golden Tooth during the start of the invasion of the Riverlands and has killed Lord Vance. He now lays siege to Riverrun with 15,000 men. Tywin Lannister has attacked from the South and has taken Harrenhal and Darry. Gregor Clegane has put Pickmaiden and Stonehedge to the sword and has killed Lord Bracken's bastard son Harry Rivers. This was not on the orders of Tywin Lannister however and there are some who want the Mountain punished." Tullius said
"And one day Gregor will be punished for his countless crimes." Martin hissed "What is the strength of our forces?"
"Robb Stark has declared his support for you and is waiting in the Neck for you to arrive along with Legate Ulfric." Rikka said "Lord Royce and the Vale Lords have also declared their support for you. Lord Yohn Royce has to stay at the Eyrie as he helps Lord Robin Arryn rule. Brynden Tully leads the Vale lords which include about 20,000 men of houses Royce, Hunter, Redfort, Belmore, Corbray and Templeton. Gonnar is leading the Forth Legion here. Currently, Dorne and the Iron Islands had declared that they are neutral but that could change at any time."
"But I'm afraid there is some bad news" Tullius said "Your Uncle Stannis has openly declared his support for you but Renly has decided that he will try and claim the throne for himself."
"Renly!" Martin growled "He wouldn't be a good kind, he is no more than a puppet for the Tyrells."
"He has wed Lady Margaery Tyrell and has most of the Stormlands and Reach supporting him." Tullius added "There is some good news. Lord Randyll Tarly has declared that he will support you and is marching with the Second Legion from Fort Greenwall. Stannis managed to convince Houses Dondarrion, Caron, Swann, Seaworth, Selmy, Estermont and Merynts to join our side given us about 10,000 more men along with the Third Legion but they are currently trapped as Bronzegate has men guarding the road so they are unable to join our forces. The Third Legion is also trapped at Fort Fellhammer and are unable to join us at the moment. Here we have the men of the Sixth and Seventh Legion ready to march. We may soon have the men of the Eighth Legion as they will finish their training by the end of this month and the Ninth Legion in a few months."
"We must be ready to march." Martin said "Some of the men will be staying here to guard Cloud Ruler and help train the Legions in training as well as protecting the town from raiders. The silver in the town may make it a target for Gregor Clegane or any Lannister raiding party. I will take the Legions and meet up with Robb while we discuss our plans at his camp."
"Yes your Grace" Tullius said
"I want to be informed of when the Vale lords get here, I may need them in order to help fight Tywin Lannister's army." Martin said "Dismissed."
Tullius and Rikka saluted him as they left and Grandmaster Delphinne went with him in order to speak to Esbern and Samwell. Martin decided that he needed to get ready before he left but there was one more thing he needed to do before he left.
Martin found the room he was looking for, it was the guest's rooms where noble visitors would rest while they stayed at Cloud Ruler Temple. The young woman he had rescued from the Mountain clans, Elisif, was sitting while she read a book she had taken from the Library. "How are you doing Lady Elisif?" Martin asked
Elisif jumped as she had not seems Martin entered "Oh Prince Martin, I'm sorry you make me jump."
Martin laughed "Sorry that I scared you"
"Well to answer your question, I'm doing fine" Elisif said "Back home in Pentos, my father treated me like a was a doll. He paraded me in front of rich merchants hoping that one of them would take an interest in me."
"What did your father do?" Martin asked
"He was a wealthy Merchant." Elisif replied "He always had this dream where he could become the Merchant Prince of Pentos where he could control all trade. He also wanted power and he saw me as a tool. My mother died when I was young and my uncle was no better than my father. Father wanted me to marry another rich merchant and take over his business but most other merchants knew my father's ambitions."
"So what happened?" Martin asked
Elisif sighed "My father took me on a merchant vessel to Bravoss as he was going to the Iron Bank to get a loan for his plans. But our ship was attacked by pirates, my father was killed in our cabin and they tried to take me so they could sell me as a slave, but I escaped and I jumped overboard. I help onto a piece of the ship's wreckage until I was washed ashore where I was captured by the Mountain clans. My uncle has most likely taken over my father's business."
"Well I have to go off to war now." Martin said "If I win, I can help you make a better life for you."
"Don't talk like that" Elisif said "You will win."
"Only a fool believes that victory in secure" Martin replied "In war anything can happen. Take care of yourself."
Elisif smirked and then to Martin's shock, she kissed Martin on the cheek and they both started blushing "That was for saving me before" Elisif smirked. Martin smiled before he left the room. The next day, Martin road out of Cloud Ruler Temple as he took the men of the Sixth and Seventh Legion with him. It was time for him to march to war.
Lannister Camp: Riverrun:
Jaime Lannister was at his camp as he laid siege to Riverrun, the seat of House Tully. His army of around 15,000 included men from houses Lefford, Westerling, Banefort, Brax, Greenfield, Prester and Marbrand. His father had most of the Lannister men from houses Crakehall, Lydden, Swyft, Serret, and Sarsfield. Jaime wasn't very happy about having to lead a force to war, Tywin had received a raven from Cersei who claimed that Robert had died and Joffrey was now King. Jaime wasn't sad that Robert was dead but now Cersei had lost control of Joffrey. People were saying that King Robert had named Martin as his heir but Cersei claimed that Eddard Stark had forged the will. The Starks had started to march south and because the Tully's were related to the Starks, the Queen Mother had wanted the Rebellion dealt with. Tywin had been reluctant but he had no choice. Now Jaime was laying Siege to Riverrun while Tywin had the bulk of the Lannister army with him at Dragon's Bridge. Jaime had been forced to split his army into 3 camps due to the Castle of Riverrun's shape.
River was not a large castle but it had strong walls and the castle was a three sided shape. Bordered on the North by the Tumblestone River and the South by the Red Fork. The third wall was guarded by a man made ditch which linked the two rivers so the castle was surrounded by water. Tywin had split his army into three camps. He commanded the main camp which was north of the Tumblestone. Lord Andros Brax commanded the 2nd camp West of Riverrun while Ser Forley Prester commanded the third camp East of Riverrun and across from the Red Fork. Jaime also had Lord Hoster Tully's son, Edmure hostage after he captured him during an earlier battle. Lord Tytos Blackwood had also fled into the walls of Riverrun. Right now the Siege of Riverrun was going well as he had the castle surrounded. Jaime believed that this war could be over as long as reinforcements didn't arrive. Each Camp was small and so it would be easy for an army to overcome each camp one by one. That was the only weakness with Jaime's plan, he just hoped that no one would be able to exploit this but Tywin Lannister had the Northmen trapped so they couldn't do anything.
The Neck:
Lady Catelyn Stark rode on her horse alongside Ser Rodrik Cassel. They had travelled from the Eyrie and had gone off so that they could meet with her son Robb. Catelyn had heard that her Husband had been arrested and now Robb was marching to war. The two of them had ridden from the Mountains of the Moon and they had found Robb's camp. Rodrik could see snow on the ground.
"Summer snows my lady" Rodrik said
"Robb's brought the North with him." Catelyn said
Inside Robb's tent, Robb Stark was discussing battle plans with his main Banner men. These included GreatJon Umber, Theon Greyjoy, Rickard Karstark, Roose Bolton, Galbert Glover and Wylis Manderly.
"The Riverlords are falling back with Jaime Lannister at their heels" Robb said "And Prince Martin says that Tywin Lannister has a second Lannister army camped at the town of Dragon's Bridge, it's even larger than the Kingslayers."
"One army or two" GreatJon said "The Kings in the North threw back hosts 10 times as large"
It was then that Lady Catelyn Stark approached the tent. Robb turned when he saw his Bannermen standing up and bowing in respect. Robb saw his mother and he smiled at her "Mother" he said happily.
Catelyn was silent for a few seconds and then she said "You look well."
"Lady Catelyn" GreatJon said "You're a welcome sight in these troubled times"
"We didn't think we would meet you here my Lady" Theon said
"I had not thought to be here" Catelyn sighed "I want to speak to my son alone, I know you will forgive me my lords."
"You heard her, move your arses!" GreatJon yelled "Come on out!" All of the lords began to clear out except for Robb and Theon. "You too Greyjoy, are you bloody deaf!" GreatJon added and he pushed Theon around before Theon left the tent "Have no fear my lady we'll soon shove our swords up Tywin Lannister's bunghole. And then it's off to the Red Keep to free Ned." GreatJon said to Catelyn before he embraced Rodrik "You old devil Rodrik, you haven't wasted away." Then both GreatJon and Rodrik left and Catelyn and Robb were alone.
Catelyn then embraced her son "I remember the day you came into this world. You were red faced and squealing. And now I find you leading a host to war."
"There was no one else." Robb said
"No one?" Catelyn asked "Those men, they've all led soldiers before, they fought for your father at the Trident."
"None of them are Starks" Robb replied "If you think you can send me back to Winterfell you can't. My father fought for King Robert to take his throne and now I'm fighting alongside his son. If I leave the fighting to others the Houses of the North will think I am weak. I will not have that." Robb then sighed and he went to the table "There was a letter from Sansa from the capital."
"From the Queen you mean!" Catelyn hissed and then she read the letter "There is no mention of Arya."
"Not in this letter, but Martin informed me that his sister Alessia is still in the Capital. I've had word that Arya is with her. She should be safe with Princess Alessia."
Catelyn looked at him "How many men do you have?"
"20,000" Robb answered "Not enough to defeat the Lannisters but Martin had more men. He is on his way now to meet with us and discuss our battle plans."
"Our best hope, our only hope is that you can defeat the Lannisters in the field." Catelyn said "And that Martin can defeat his own family to secure his throne."
"What if I lose?" Robb asked
"Do you know what happened to the Targaryen Children when the mad king fell?" Catelyn asked
"They were butchered in their sleep!" Robb spat "Father and Martin said that it was one of the worst things ever. Martin always wanted those murdered punished!"
"Tywin Lannister is not a man to be underestimated" Catelyn said "He is still the cold cruel man he was when he destroyed Houses Reyne and Tarbeck. If you lose, your father dies, your sisters die, we die."
"Well that makes it simple then, I will not lose" Robb said
"I'm sure it does." Catelyn sighed
Later the lords had gathered to discuss their suggestions for when Prince Martin arrives.
"The scouts report that Lord Tywin has camped at Dragon's Bridge." Rodrik Cassel said
"Right now we to break Jaime's siege of Riverrun" GreatJon argued "Do that and the Riverlords will join us and Martin will have more support."
"To do that we need to cross the river and the only crossing that we have is the castle of the Twins." Robb said
"The seat of House Frey" Theon said "They control that castle and he's a Tully Bannerman."
"The Late Lord Frey my father calls him" Catelyn spat "And it is not because he is an old man. At the Trident his men didn't arrive until the battle was done. Some men take their oaths seriously than others"
"Our forces are trapped in the Northern Riverlands" Lord Rickard Karstark said "Tywin Lannister had prevented us from travelling South and we can't fight his army, we haven't enough men. To defeat Tywin we would need to join up with Martin's forces."
"As long as Riverrun is under siege, the Riverlords are unable to fight." Galbert Glover hissed "We need to save Riverrun and get the Riverlords to join us."
"We should wait for Martin to arrive" Roose Bolton suggested "I'm sure that he has some kind of a plan."
"Bolton's right" Wylis Manderly said "We wait for Martin to arrive and we hear his plan."
"In the meantime, we should try and secure the Twins for us to cross." Rodrik suggested "That might help us if we go to Riverrun."
"Rodrik's right" Robb said "We need that Bridge. We'll head for the twins and meet Martin there."
...
King's Landing sewers, The Ragged Flagon.
Arya Stark was inside the Ragged Flagon as she watched as Alessia and Willas talked with the leaders of the Thieves Guild. These men were the spies for Prince Martin as long as Martin gave them their cut. But despite being a bunch of thieves, they still had morals such as not stealing from the poor. Arya noticed that leadership was shared by four people. The first was Brynjolf who was once the second in command and now leads the group alongside the others. Brynjolf was one of the most respected members of the guild. Then there was Karliah who was an expert archer. She was one of the most mysterious members as she always wore a mask and never showed her face. Arya also heard that she had been framed for the murder of a previous Guildmaster Gallus by the real murderer Mercer Frey but her name was clear when the truth was revealed. Mercer Frey had been stealing funds from the guild before he tried to pull of one last heist on a shipment of Silver from Martin's mining town but was caught and killed by both Martin's guards and the thieves guild members. Karliah then rejoined the guild.
Then there were two senior members of the guild, Delvin Mallory and Vex. Delvin was a bald man and was known for being superstitious. He was also the one who gave jobs out to members such as changing numbers in business books. Vex almost looked like a Targaryen bastard with her very pale white hair. She was a master thief and quite boastful. She also gave out jobs but her focused more of the old classic break in jobs.
There were several other members of the guild with interesting stories. One that made her laugh was Vipir the Fleet who had ran all the way from the town of Saltpans to King's Landing after nearly being caught on a job and he had forgotten that he had a horse at the town's stables. Rune apparently knew nothing about his past and the best lockpicker in the guild, Cynric Endell had been a jail breaker before being imprisoned after failing on a job.
Arya approached Alessia as she discussed her plans with Brynjolf "This isn't going to be easy" she said "We know that Lord Stark in being held in the Black cells and Lady Sansa is being held in the Guest rooms. Getting in won't be easy as there are guards everywhere."
"The Lannisters are likely going to try and force Lord Stark to confess that he forged the will which we know is false" Willas said.
"Well we have to find something soon" Alessia said "Cynric can break them out but avoiding the guards will be hard."
"What about the old tunnels" Arya suggested as she made her presence known "You could use those tunnels."
"We don't know where all of the tunnels lead to Lady Arya" Karliah said "We could end up going down the wrong tunnel and get caught."
"Well we still have time" Vex said "We can think of plans and maybe we could use someone undercover."
"Who do you think can do that?" Devin asked
"What about Dirge's brother Maul, no one knows him and he may be able to get a position in the Lannister guard" Vex suggested
"I'll go speak to him" Brynjolf said "In the meantime we should start thinking of our plans."
Later after the meeting had ended, Willas Tyrell went to his room that the Thieves Guild had given him. The room wasn't anything special as it only had a small light that came from a gap in the roof or a spall candle. The bed also was made of normal cloth and it was what commoners would sleep on but Willas wasn't complaining. But he was shocked to see Princess Alessia sitting on his bed.
"Alessia?" Willas questioned "What are you doing here?"
"I've just been thinking" Alessia said "We don't have to hide anymore. We don't have to keep our relationship secret. I want you Willas, I want only you."
Willas looked at her "Are you sure, right now?" he asked "I mean we need time to think of our plans."
"I can't wait, if we fail, we may not get another chance at this."Alessia begged
The two of them blushed before Willas captured Alessia's lips with his own and the two of them jumped onto the bed before Willas ripped off his shirt and trousers before he pulled Alessia's dress off. Soon the two of them were completely naked and they kept on kissing each other. Willas had locked the door so no one could see them.
"You're mine" Willas smirked while his hands squeezed her beasts and Alessia moaned in pleasure as she ran her hands through his hair. The two of them then kissed again before Willas kissed her left breast and he sucked on her nipple.
"By the Divines Willas, that feels good. Alessia moaned and he then smirked and she lay on her back with Willas on top while she stocked his hardened cock "Do it."
Willas obeyed and then she shoved his cock into Alessia as then gripped her hips. Then Willas began thrusting into her while Alessia moaned and was silenced when Willas planted a kiss on her lips. Alessia's breast bounced up and down as Willas thrust into her and then he let go of her hips and began rubbing her breasts, drawing circles around her nipples with his hands. Eventually, Willas reached his climax and then he pulled his cock out of Alessia and the two of them lay side by side with each other. "That was great" Alessia moaned
"I'm glad that we don't have to keep this secret anymore." Willas agreed and the two of them shared a kiss "Now let's get some sleep." Alessia didn't argue as the two of them were tired from their lovemaking and they both fell asleep in each other's arms.
Chapter end
Author's note: Well this is the start of the Civil war. The war grows next chapter. This was also my first time writing a lemon scene so I'm sorry if it is not good enough for you. I'm also placing a poll on my profile as I have some ideas for future stories but I want my readers to decide which one they think I should write first. Next chapter, for those who hate Joffrey, I have something planed next chapter but I'm not saying what.
