Master of Ships:
Riverlands:
The Mountain that Rider, Gregor Clegane's horse trotted slowly along the road as the Mountain himself groaned in pain from the arrows that struck him. Arrows had hit him several times as he fled from the Disaster at Cloud Ruler Temple. His entire raiding party along with the raiding parties of Amory Lorch, Vargo Hoat and Krev the Skinner were destroyed and only a few raiders had escaped from the fight. Gregor had escaped but he had been hit several times by arrows and was barely hanging on to his horse. Gregor growled inside himself and rage built up, he swore that he would create another raiding party and then level that town to the ground and slaughter everyone living there. However, he had to make it back to the Lannister camp and he was deep in the Riverlands, near the border with the Vale. The Gregor's injuries finally got to him and he lost his grip on his horse causing him to fall off the saddle and onto the road.
Gregor tried to crawl forward but his horse went on without him. If Gregor had the strength, he would have roared in anger and then chopped the head off that horse but his injuries were quite bad and he could hardly move. Gregor lay on his chest and waited for darkness to take him, but it never came as a small group of people wearing Black robes with a red skull came into view though Gregor could hardly see them, as his vision was blurry.
"Is this the right guy" one person asked
"Aye" another man said, "This is the right guy, he will be the perfect weapon for us"
"Right uncle" a woman spoke instead "This man when we are finished with him will become just as good as a weapon as that Bastard boy we took in a few years ago."
A man who Gregor believed was the leader looked at Gregor in the eye and Gregor thought he could see a crown made from bones on his head and he had very pale skin and a sinister sneer "I have plans for you Mountain."
Cloud Ruler Temple:
After the battle at the town, they had gathered all of the dead and the Companions prepared to burn them. The bodies of Vargo Hoat and Krev the Skinner as well as their raiding party had been burnt outside the town's wall but the bodies of the towns defenders had been gathered in the courtyard of Cloud Ruler Temple. The Companions as well as the town's residents and the Blades had gathered as they would witness the funeral of their fallen soldiers. Atar and Skjor's bodies were on the pile along with Kodlak's body which was on a stone circle and was separate from the others. They had built a funeral pyre for the dead and now Aela would give her speech.
"Before the ancient flame, we grieve" Aela said "At this loss, we weep, for the fallen we shout and for ourselves, we take our leave" Aela then took the torch she was holding and then she set the funeral Pyre on fire and then the bodies all began to burn and everyone watched as the bodies of the fallen defenders burnt but their spirits would live on and their names would be remembered.
With Kodlak and Skjor dead, the highest ranked member of the Companions was Vilkas and so he would be taking leadership of the Companions and so he turned to one of the Blades, Cyrus who was in charge of Cloud Ruler Temple while most of the Blades were with Prince Martin.
"So what is the situation here?" he asked
"Well Lorch is now imprisoned in the cells of Cloud Ruler Temple and we have him under heavy guard" Cyrus said "But Lyn Corbray betrayed us; he took his men and abandoned us."
"So Lyn really did abandoned us!" Farkas snapped "He caused the deaths of Skjor and Kodlak, if that coward hadn't ran they would still with us."
Cyrus sighed "There's is more to it than that" he said "Some of his men infiltrated us and they took someone with them."
"Who?" Aela asked
"Lysa" Cyrus confessed "They took Lady Lysa with them"
Farkas, Vilkas and Aela looked at each other in worry; with Lady Lysa free then there could be problems in the Vale.
High Road, the Vale:
Lyn Corbray walked along the High road which was the main road that linked the Kingsroad to the fortress of the Eyrie. The Vale was a mountain area but was actually very fertile and was filled with lakes and rivers. But the Vale tended to be isolated from the rest of Westeros due to its only land border being at the Mountains of the Moon which could only be travelled along the High road and were guarded by the Bloody Gate and the harsh winters in the Vale made the road dangerous along with the dangerous Mountain clans.
Lyn smirked as now he had been given an opportunity to gain more power in the Vale. He had been approached in Gulltown by a hooded man who called himself the Mockingbird and he had made him an offer, he would help give him power and he must rescue Lysa Arryn from Cloud Ruler Temple. He had managed to gain a few allies including Houses Belmore of Strongsong, House Egen, House Grafton of Gulltown, House Moore and House Sunderland. With Gulltown under their control, they will be able to stop forces from coming in through Gulltown. They had also made a deal with Nestor Royce who was the High Steward of the Vale and lord of the Gates of the Moon now the remaining Vale forces would be able to take control of the Vale. With the Gates of the Moon under their control, the forces of House Coldwater, Hunter, Redfort, Royce, Templeton and Waynwood would be unable to stop them.
Lyn smirked and he turned to his 2nd in command which was Lord Gerold Grafton "Now that we have secured Gulltown and the Gates of the Moon, we now have to secure the Eyrie for the Mockingbird. We will sneak into the Eyrie and take the fort while it is lightly guarded and capture Yohn Royce. The Mockingbird will return and use lord Robin as a puppet and we will be rewarded."
"So we march now" Gerold asked
Lyn turned to see his squire Mychel Redfort who was having doubts about what to do and so he turned to two of his men "You two" he called "Take my squire out into the woods and kill him, he knows too much and is not loyal to us. He must be eliminated right now."
"Understood Ser Lyn" the men replied and Lyn watched as they took Lyn away from the army with a smirk on his face "Sorry Mychel, nothing personal, it's just how the Game Works."
King's Landing:
Queen Regent Cersei Lannister smirked as she walked along the corridors of the Red Keep to the Council Meeting room. At her side was a well built man who had thick black hair and a shaved face though Cersei could see a look of cunning and intelligence on his face. This man was a legend through Essos and was better known as Admiral Travis Thresh, a legendary Pirate Hunter originating from Braavos. Thresh was said to have sailed through the Basilisk Islands and the Stepstone Islands and defeated many Pirate Fleets on his journeys, being from Braavos he was also strongly against Slavery and has been known to wage a private war against Slavery. Thresh had a small but well armed navy which he used in his private war against Slavery and Pirates. He refused to get involved in politics of the Free Cities but Cersei had made this man an offer to grant him resources and ships for his war against Slavery. Cersei had brought him here so that they could deal with the Resistance and he already had an idea on how to counter the Resistance's next move.
Inside the Council Room, acting Hand of the King Tyrion Lannister was with the rest of the Small Council, Lord Gyles Rosby and Bennard Brune along Varys and Andens Avidicus.
"The scouts say that the Lannister Caravan was attacked by members of the Resistance while travelling along the Rosby Road" Varys said to the small council.
"But How?" Gyles gasped "The Rosby road is on my lands, how were they able to launch an attack on my lands"
"It seems the Resistance is stronger than we thought" Tyrion remarked to everyone "There have been reports of attacks on our patrols across the Crownlands and in the Riverlands still held by the Crowns forces."
"These are just brigands" Gyles snorted "They have no true leaderships"
"Don't underestimate the Resistance" Andens interrupted "Some of the group leaders are former City Watch men, men who I know. Itius Hayn was always one of the best captains in the guard."
"Well we've lost a shipment of gold which was meant for us to hire sellswords" Bennard said "Do we have a plan to recover the gold, it is a valuable weapon for us"
That was when the door opened and they all stood when they saw the Queen Regent enter the room but they looked in confusion at the man with her.
"My Queen, who is this?" Gyles demanded "Who is this man to be in the Small Council Chambers."
"Lord Gyles Rosby" The man said calmly "That is no way to treat a guest of the Queen. I am here because the Queen invited me to help deal with the Resistance"
"And who might you be?" Tyrion asked calmly "As Acting Hand of the King it is my job to know who is on the Small Council"
"You may have heard of me" he said "I am Travis Thresh, private fleet commander of Braavos and slayer of Pirates"
"I offered him help with his Private War on Pirates and Slavery if he would help deal with the Resistance." Cersei smiled "He has a history of dealing with groups like the Resistance after what I told him, he thinks he knows the Resistance next move"
"Well what do you think the Resistance next move is?" Tyrion asked
Travis smirked "I was informed that the Resistance raided a caravan of Gold and weapons and have attacked patrols. Taken separately these may seem like attempts to weaken us but there has to be a use for the gold they stole and I have a good idea. The Resistance is full of fighters and they have weapons coming from the Rebels in the Riverlands, Vale and North so they wouldn't hire sellswords. But the one thing they haven't got is a fleet to travel around the Crownlands fast. One House has a small Fleet with them but hasn't joined them yet, House Bar Emmon is Sharp Point."
"You think that the Resistance plans to offer the Gold to House Bar Emmon in exchange for their Ships?" Tyrion asked
"With every Ship they have makes them a bigger threat since most of the Royal Fleet went to Dragonstone" Cersei smiled and she looked at Travis "So what is your plan?"
"I plan to attack Sharp point while the Resistance is there and I will crush that part of the Resistance. Then I will move on to other operations and crush the Resistance one bit at a time. This is just the Start" Travis smiled. Cersei looked at him impressed while Tyrion looked worried as now the Resistance would have problems since he knew about their plan to use the Ships from House Bar Emmon, they had to be warned but how as he couldn't send a Raven to warn them as he would be suspected, he had to find a way to warn the Resistance of the trap.
Weeping Town: Stormlands:
The Weeping Town was the largest settlement in the Stormlands. It was a market town with a thriving port at was located at the Sea of Dorne and was responsible for most of the Stormlands Sea Trade. The Old traditions of the Stormlands had prevented major towns developing and the Stormlords built great Fortress and used the food from the villages to supply them with food. The Stormlands were home to some of the greatest Fortress in Westeros. Weeping Town had stout wooden walls and was large enough to support three Inns, the Broken Shield, the Loon and the Drunken Dornishman. The town also had a small tower, which was the seat of House Whitehead. The Lord of House Whitehead was an old man but his heir, Ser Addam Whitehead was one of Prince Martin's supporters. The Weeping town was called that because it was the first place where King Daeron I's body came to when he was killed in Dorne during the Second Dornish War where it remained for three days. It was also where Prince Martin had gathered his Force of Stormlands and the Fourth Legion. Houses Caron, Dondarrion, Swann, Errol, Seaworth, Connington and Selmy had declared themselves for Martin while Houses Penrose, Tarth, Buckler, Trant, Fell and Morrigan had declared for Renly. As soon as Martin had landed, the Houses loyal to him had shown their support and the Fourth Legion along with Houses Connington and Selmy had managed to capture Storm's End which was lightly guarded and they used the tunnels which Davos Seaworth had used to smuggle food to Storm's End during the siege of Storm's End. Martin knew that word of Storm's End capture must have reached his Uncle Renly as his army had been seen marching South of Bronzegate.
Martin was with his uncle Stannis along with Lord Bryce Caron, Lord Gullian Swann, Willas Tyrell, Randyll Tarly and Davos Seaworth were in the Weeping tower at Weeping town as the discussed their plans. "Ronnet Connington has taken Storm's End" Stannis said "The news of Storm's End fall has reached my brother and he is marching South of Bronzegate with his army."
"We should ride north and meet him in battle," Gullian Swan suggested
"They have a massive army of nearly 100,000 men" Bryce Caron said "We have our houses that have declared for you plus the legions you brought, that only gives us around 40,000 soldiers. That's not enough to defeat Renly"
"Battles are not always won by numbers" Randyll spoke up "Renly may have more men but he doesn't have great Military commanders to help. Renly can't lead men into battles, Mace Tyrell is no battle commander and his son Loras is a soldier but not a commander."
"Even so we must be careful," Willas replied "Renly and my father may have more men but there are reports that some of the Reach Houses are having problems with their loyalty. It was big news when House Tarly declared for Martin. Other Houses have the same feelings. Houses Florent, Footly, Fossoway, Peake, Ashford, Osgrey, Cuy and Mullendore are having issues with their Prince and there have been reports that some of them want to join Prince Martin's side.
"Well we'll ride north and meet my uncle at Parchments, the seat of House Penrose" Martin claimed "There I will ride out with my commanders and try to convince Renly to stop this insane plan of his and bend the knee, if he doesn't then we will have no choice but to fight. I would rather not fight my uncle since he is family but if he refuses to stop this madness then we will have no choice."
"I'll get the men ready" Stannis said and then he and the other lords left. Martin decided that he needed some time to himself to let the stress he was under calm down.
Martin left to the chambers where he had been given a room to stay while he was in the Weeping town. His sister Alessia was already there along with five small cages, which held the five dragons that he had hatched. For some reason these dragons were growing up fast and already the golden-scaled dragon, which was the largest and could hardly fit in his cage.
Martin had already given names to his dragons, the golden dragon was the largest and the only male dragon as the others were female and he had named the golden-scaled dragon Septim after the great Emperors who founded the Septim Empire. The Silver dragon was the largest of the females, Alessia had commented that the dragon's scales were like stars glittering at night and Martin named this dragon Starlight. The purple dragon was the calmest of the dragons and it took Martin a while to think of a name but he eventually went with the name Cynder. The Red Dragon was quite vicious and wild which had resulted in Martin separating her from the others as she was fighting with the other dragons so he named this dragon Fui which was Fury in the dragon language. The blue dragon was the smallest and also the shiest of them. This dragon didn't get involved with the rest of the dragons and when Martin tried to get them to breathe fire, this one wouldn't breath smoke at all. Martin still hadn't thought of a name for this dragon.
"It's amazing how you hatched dragons" Alessia commented "You're the first person to hatch dragons since they died out during the rule of Aegon III"
"Well that is not true" Martin confessed, "Our agent on Essos, Farengar claimed that Daenerys Targaryen has hatched three dragons of her own."
"So what will you do if she decided to come to Westeros?" Alessia asked
"I will do what a good ruler would do" Martin claimed "I will negotiate, and we have more allies than her if she decides to invade Westeros. And she may have three dragons but I have five."
"And they're growing up fast" Alessia laughed as the purple one cuddled against her. The dragons also got on well with their Jaguars, Storm and Aylied. Sometimes the dragosn would jump on top of the Jaguars and then make them run around which amused Alessia. "What do you think would happen if others knew that you hatched dragons?"
"There would be many stories" Martin said, he was well aware of the stories that were being spread about him. Some most likely believed that Martin hatching dragons was rubbish but some were saying that Martin may be a descendent of the Septim Emperors and now Martin was starting to believe in those rumours. "These dragons might make people believe that I was chosen and they could get me more supporters. I think I will bring them with me when I go to meet Renly's army. I will show them but I won't have them fight. They're still too young to fight."
"Be careful out there" Alessia said "I don't want to learn that you are dead and please try and convince Renly to stop this madness."
"I will do my best sister" Martin claimed "But I can't make any promises, I will do my best but if Renly doesn't stand down then I will have no choice but to fight."
Essos: The Seas:
After Daenerys Targaryen had left the Dwarven Ruin with her Khalasar as well as Farengar, Jorah, Calcelmo, Aquilius and Aicantar. Calcelmo had taken them to a small port where they took passage to a city in a place that Daenerys had never heard of before. Calcelmo called this place the Alik'r Desert and they were heading to the Region's capital of Sentinel.
"Now when we get to Sentinel I will do the talking" Calcelmo said "Some people aren't too friendly towards outsiders."
"Why do these people not trust Outsiders?" Daenerys asked
"Well the Alik'r desert is just one region. Each region has it's own King but they all swear loyalty to the Elected High King. There's Glenumbra ruled but King Casimir of Daggerfall, Bangkorai ruled by King Eamond of Evermore, the Alik'r desert is ruled by King Fahara'jah of Sentinel. But they all swear loyalty to High King Emeric of Wayrest, King of Stormhaven." Aquilius explained
"Just around 20-30 years ago there was a big war in the region." Aicantar said
"How did that war start?" Jorah asked
"High King Emeric married Fahara'jad's daughter" Calcelmo said "But King Ranser of Shornhelm saw this as a slight and he made an Alliance with Qarth and invaded. The whole Region was in a state of war for several years until Fahara'jad and his army relieved Wayrest and retook the land taken by Ranser's forces. Qarth was defeated at the Siege of Tanith and most of Ranser's forces were beaten at the Battle of Markwasten Moor. Ranser was later betrayed by his own men and killed. Shornhelm and the region of Rivenspire have been looked down on ever since the war."
"I will put in a good word but I cannot be sure if you will be granted sanction here" Calcelmo added and Daenerys thanked him for it and then he left
As soon as Calcelmo was gone, Daenerys looked to Farengar and Jorah "So what do you two think of this idea?"
"Well I'm not sure that we can get an army to invade Westeros" Farengar admitted "But you could build a new home in this land. Maybe one day your family will be as great as your old one."
"I agreed to support your ideas my Khaleesi" Jorah spoke "I would have supported you if you decided to invade Westeros but Farengar is right, we don't have the men and if we use a foreign army then that would be used against us."
"Then I just hope that we will be granted a place in this Kingdom" Daenerys said
The Vale:
Mychel Redfort had been sent with two Vale Knights to collect some supplies for the Men. Mychel was the youngest son of Lord Horton Redfort, since he was the youngest son, it was unlikely that he would become a lord so he wanted to become a knight and he had been proud when he had been made a Squire to Ser Lyn Corbray. He had been his squire for a while now and was described as one of the best young Swordsmen in the Vale and very gallant. However, Mychel was now having doubts about his loyalties, his Master had just deserted a Battle and now was talking treason. Mychel knew that he had to get away from here. But while he was collecting Water from a small stream, something hit him on the head and he was knocked to the ground. Mychel looked to see the two Vale Knights had clubs out and were laughing at him.
"Look at that" one of them sneered "The best young swordsman in the Vale, and he can't even take on two proper knights."
"Sorry about this lad" the other laughed "It's nothing personal, it's just you're too much of a threat to the Mockingbird's plans."
Then the Two Knights began hitting him with clubs and Mychel's vision was getting a bit blurry so he spat out "You will never get away with this!" he spat "When my father hears what you have done, he will call for your heads"
The first Knight laughed "This is what the story will be, you are ambushed by the Mountain Clans and murdered, we did everything to save you but we were unable to. That pins your death on the Savage Mountain clans"
Mychel now was having problems moving as he was hit over and over again and was also kicked. But then the Beatings stopped and he heard a chocking noise. Mychel looked to see that the First Knight was chocking as an arrow had lodged itself in the back of his throat. Then a second arrow hit him in the back of the head and he collapsed to the ground dead. The Second knight drew his sword but then was hit in the hand with an arrow causing him to drop the sword and then he was hit in the heart by another and he too dead. Mychel was too weak to move and his vision was fading, the last thing he saw was a hooded figure running towards him with a bow and arrow.
Oxcross: The Westerlands:
Lord Robb Stark rode in front of his force of Northmen alongside his top lords, Rickard Karstark, Roose Bolton and Greatjon Umber. The army of the Northmen were approaching the Lannister army gathered at Oxcross. This was the army which had been raised to fight for Prince Martin but the Northmen were being careful. They were waiting for the Lannister army leaders to arrive so they could talk but there was no sign of Stafford Lannister or his army and now the Northmen were concerned that this was a trap.
"My Lord we should find a place to set up camp and fortify in case we are attacked" Roose Bolton suggested
"I agree" Rickard added "This must be a trap, the Lannisters are not here so this could be a trap"
"I knew we shouldn't have trusted those Westerland Cunts" Greatjon snarled
Robb was ready to agree when he saw a small force approaching in the distance. They held several banners and Robb could see them "My lords this could be our Westerland reinforcements approaching" Robb said as he could see the Banners. Seven Seashells on a sandy background for House Westerling of the Crag so this was Ser Raynald Westerling. The hooded man of House Baneford and the Purple Unicorn of House Brax for Ser Flement Brax. There were a few minor houses such as House Yew among the Banners. Robb looked at his men "This could be them now; those houses are holding a banner of truce." One of the leaders was holding a white flag, which was a banner of truce.
Roose Bolton's son Domeric looked a bit confused "There should be more than that, there's only about 2,000 men in that army, where are the rest."
"I guess we will find out soon," Greatjon muttered and then two of the men, one holding the banner of Truce went ahead of the rest and they bowed respectable before Robb.
"Lord Stark" the man holding the Banner greeted, he wore armour dotted with amethysts and he seemed to be the leader of the men "My name is Ser Flement Brax, and we are here to support you in your mission here in the Westerlands"
"And I'm Ser Reynald Westerling" the other man said "Sadly we have a bit of a problem, there was meant to be a whole army but most of it has been destroyed"
"Destroyed!" Robb gasped "How!"
"Reginald Lannister!" Flement spat "He's a distant cousin of Tywin and the Head of House Lannister of Lannisport, but he's also power hungry and dreams of becoming Lord of Casterly Rock. He knew the real reason for what Stafford's army was for so he killed Stafford and used men loyal to him to slaughter most of the men loyal to him."
"He is still got a strong force with him" Reynald added "He's also got a skilled commander, Lord Antario Jast who is married to Lady Lanna Lannister, a very distant cousin of Tywin but he is still family."
Flement then sighed "My uncle Rupert is also one of Reginald's strongest supporters" he sighed "He was one that betrayed and murdered Stafford."
Robb looked at his men "We have a job to do" he declared "We are to fight the army at Oxcross. This Lannister army has just massacred their own camp so they may be celebrating, we attack at nightfall when they will least suspect." His men all cheered at Robb's words and Robb got prepared for the coming fight.
Fist of the First Men: Beyond the Wall:
On the Fist of the First Men, the Night's Watch and Dawnguard had started to make piles of snow to create cover in case they were attacked. Isran and Mormont had gone over to speak with the Ranger Qhorin Halfhand. Qhorin was a living legend among the Night's Watch as he was one of the best Rangers in the Night's Watch, he commands the Rangers from the Shadow Tower and he was called the Halfhand because he had lost all of his fingers except for his thumb and forefinger to a Wildling Axe. He was clean shaven and had long greying hair in a large braid.
"There" he said to Mormont
"Where?" The lord commander asked
"On that Mountain there" Qhorin said as he pointed to a mountain in the distance "Do you see what's there?"
Jon looked into the distance and then he could see what Qhorin was talking about "A fire, there's a fire on that Mountain"
Qhorin nodded "There's a fire on that mountain and the people sitting around it know this land and have better eyes than us. When they see us coming that fire becomes a signal which gives Mance Rayder, the King Beyond the Wall plenty of time to plan a party in our honour"
"How many Wildlings have joined him?" Commander Mormont asked
"From what I can tell all of them" the Halfhand replied
"All of them?" Isran questioned as the Dawnguard and Night's watch members looked at each other
"Mance has gathered them all like deer against the wolves" Qhorin added "and they're ready to make their move."
"Where?" Agmaer asked
"Somewhere safe" Qhorin added "And somewhere South, we can't just march against them since we do not have the men to fight them all head on. And we can't wait for them here with just a pile of snow to cover our backs. The road is our only wait out and we are sitting ducks here"
"Are you saying that we should fall back to the wall?" Mormont asked
"We haven't even found proof of our true enemy yet" Isran added
Qhorin looked at him "Mance was one of us once; he was a friend of mine, now he's one of them. He's going to teach them our way of doing things. They're going to hit us in force and they won't scatter when we hit them back. They're going to be more organised than before, more disciplined and more like us so we must be more like them. We sneak in, kill Mance and scatter them to the winds"
"Or they may just elect a new leader" Isran added "There has to be a reason why Mance has gathered all of the wildlings. Some of these tribes hate each other and he has the Thenn clans among them, who eat the flesh of the dead. And I was told he has gathered the Giants as well if the rumours are true. Maybe they know more about our true enemy, maybe we should talk to them"
Negotiate with the Wildlings?" Qhorin laughed "Many of those Wildlings hate the Night's watch and would kill us as soon as they see us."
"But maybe they will talk to a Dawnguard" Isran claimed "We have to try at least, there are two reasons why Mance has gathered the Wildlings, either he plans to fight the White Walkers or he plans to flee, there has to be a reason why he has gathered the Wildlings now."
"I don't like this but we may have no choice" Mormont said
"Grand Master" Jon said "I would like to volunteer on this, some Wildlings knew my Uncle Benjen who believed that Wildlings were born the Wrong side of the wall, they may be better towards me"
"Go ahead Jon" Isran said "I'm needed here but you will take Ollrod, Lynoit and Haker with you"
Serena then stood up "I'll go with you as well" she said "I can see over long distances and I can help sense any ambushes"
"I come in behind in case we get any unwelcome surprises" Qhorin added "Hark Stonesnake and Barber will join me"
"So be it" Mormont said "Let's just hope we don't march into a common enemy"
Dawnstar, the North:
Viserys Targaryen was hooded as he went to the town of Dawnstar to search for the man that Mankar Cameron had sent him to find, Silus Vesuius. Viserys had discussed himself so he wouldn't be recognised since the Targaryen White hair wasn't seen around this town and it would attract unwanted attention.
Dawnstar had once been a large port town on the Eastern coast of the North and one of the many petty Kingdoms of the North during the Age of Heroes and was known to have mines producing Iron and quicksilver as well as small amounts of Silver. But the town had been largely destroyed by the Starks of Old when they conquered the North and Dawnstar was no longer the major port as trade move to White Harbour. Now Dawnstar was just a small harbour and had a few mines which Dawnstar was one of the main places that supplied weapons to the Night's Watch. Dawnstar was a vassal of House Karstark since the town was located near Karhold. People rarely left the town as they were used to the cold climate of the town but the men of Dawnstar were good soldiers, Jarl Skald the Elder was an old man and he had fought in the Rebellion at the Trident alongside his liege lord Rickard Stark though now he was too old to fight so when Rickard had marched south with Robb Stark, he had sent one of his old friends Jod to lead the men of Dawnstar.
But Viserys Targaryen was not interested in the mines of Dawnstar, he had been sent here to speak with Silus Vesuius because he could fix Mehrunes Razor and get the dagger to gain it's full power again. Viserys smirked when he found the house he was looking for, the house was isolated as no one wanted to be near Silus since his relations of the Mythic Dawn was well known but Silus didn't try to forget it and he had even had Mythic Dawn Banners outside his house. He then saw a man who he believed was Silus standing outside the house; Silus had darker skin and thick black hair though he had a charming smile on his face
"Good day citizen" he greeted "Is there something I can help you with?"
Viserys looked at the man, he would normally be angry that someone wasn't addressing him as their King but he knew that Mankar had warned him not to draw attention to himself as the moment anyone learnt who he really was, he would be arrested and their plan exposed, so he went along with what Mankar had told him "I was told that you know things on the Daedric cult known as the Mythic Dawn."
Silus smiled at him "It's been a long time since I have met anyone who wishes to know about that cult. Most people would rather forget about that cult but they had a big impact in history, if the Mythic Dawn had not existed then the Septim Empire might not have collapsed and History would be different. They shouldn't be forgotten about, but this isn't something to talk about here in public but I can explain everything I know inside."
Viserys followed Silus into his home and he could see that he lived in a simple life as he had bed and furniture; it was a small house but looked cosy to live in for someone of Silus' position. But Viserys noticed three glass display cases which held things that must have something to do with the Mythic Dawn. "Have a good look around; there is a lot of things in here about the Mythic Dawn. Many of these were found in old hideouts of the Cult." Silus said and first Viserys looked at some robes inside a display case "Those robes were worn by the Mythic Dawn members during their ceremonies and rituals. My readings say that they were dyed using the blood of sacrificed victims." Then Viserys looked at a case with had 4 large tomes in "Those are the Commentaries of the Mysterium Xarxes, they were written by the Mythic Dawn Leader Mankar Cameron and were used to join the Mythic Dawn cult. They are now very rare and this may be one of the few copies of volume 4, which is almost impossible to find now, it was very rare back in the days of the Septim Empire and you could only get it from a member of the Mythic Dawn." Viserys thought that maybe he should read those books as they may have some kind of power in them but he looked at the final case, which held what he was looking for, it was the scabbard of Mehrunes Razor. "Ah the scabbard, see that symbol on it, it's an oblivion gate, one of the symbols of the Mythic Dawn and their leader, the Daedric Prince Mehrunes Razor. And that stone fragment is part of the pommel stone which was broken when the Razor was shattered"
Viserys had heard enough and then he looked at Silus "I was told that you might be able to restore the power of the razor itself" he said and Silus' eyes widened in shock
"Restore the power of the razor?" he questioned, "To do that you would need all of the pieces of the razor and only Mehrunes Dagon could restore the Razor"
"Well I have the remaining pieces right here" Viserys sneered and he got the Razor out and he saw Silus' eyes widened in shock.
"That's the Razer restored; I can't believe it" he gasped, "All of the razor parts are here when they've been separates for thousands of years. Sadly the Pommel is damaged but maybe Mehrunes Dagon can repair it"
"Can you contact him?" Viserys asked
"Not here but we can at his shrine" Silus replied "There is an old abandoned Shrine just a few miles West of here in the Hills. If we bring the razor parts and talk to Mehrunes Dagon then maybe we can restore the power of the razor, I'll meet you at the shrine."
Viserys sneered as he watched Silus leave his house in a hurry, "Just you wait son of the Usurper" he sneered to himself "Once the Razor has been restored I shall be ready to make my move and this razor shall run red with your blood."
Sharp point: The Crownlands:
The castle of Sharp Point was the seat of House Bar Emmon, it had been built by an Andal Warlord Togarion Bar Emmon who created his own kingdom on Massey's Hook, a peninsula in the crownlands that defines the Eastern extant of the Blackwater. Ships must sail around it to sail to King's Landing which makes House Bar Emmon strong since they can sight any ship that comes into the Blackwater. House Bar Emmon along with House Massey of Stonedance had been sworn to the Stormlands but had stronger ties with Aegon I and had joined him when he invaded Westeros. Now house Bar Emmon was sworn to Stannis and declared his support for Prince Martin along with House Massey, but lord Duram Bar Emmon was just a spoilt greedy fat boy of 14 namedays and he was only interested in the money he could make from the messages he sends but he did have a small fleet including their flagship, the Swordfish, a large warship with 200 ores and a long iron prow with a swordfish shaped ram.
Arya Stark had arrived in Sharp point along with the members of the Resistance including Itius Hayn and her commander Danus Arellian. They had brought the shipment of gold which they had stolen from the Lannister Caravan and they were going to give the gold to Duram so they can use his ships for the Resistance, it was just a small number of warships as they were only around 30 ships including the Swordfish but they were not the best quality but Itius said that they would have to do.
Arya stood beside Danus and Dion while Itius was near Lord Duram while they were talking about the ships. Arya could tell that Duram was only interested in the gold that they had to offer for his ships and Arya claimed that she would rather not be at Sharp Point long. She smiled when Duram and Itius shook hands and it was announced that the Resistance would be granted the use of the ships while he would get the gold to do whatever he wished with. Arya knew that the gold could have been used for other reasons like Sellswords and better weapons but the Resistance needed ships and this was the only place to get the ships.
Danus looked at her "When we get back to Anvil, Commander Hayn said that he has another mission for us. He said that this one was important in the border with the Riverlands. It will be dangerous as we will be going into Lannister held territory. But he said that our squad were the best ones for the job"
"Well I look forward to our next mission" Arya smiled and then she watched as Hayn and Duram shook hands with each other.
Outside the Harbour:
A small fleet of ships loyal to the Crown were just outside the castle of Sharp Point. A much larger ship that had a large military prow and ran which could slice an enemy ship in two led them; this ship was known as the Justice and was Travis Thresh's personal ship. Travis himself was standing at the Wheel as he began to prepare for his attack. The Justice was almost as large as the Royal Fleet's flagship, The King Robert's Hammer, and had several decks of ores as well as large sails for sailing in the wind and also had Scorpion crossbows and short range catapults on the decks. Most of the crew were former Slaves who had joined Travis when he liberated them from Slave Ships. This very ship had once been an escort of a Slave Ship when Travis had attacked the fleet with a small force, most of Travis' ships had been lost in the battle but he had taken this ship and named it his personal flagship. Travis then sailed around the world liberating Slaves from Slave ships and defending islands from slavers. To the Slaves and freed men, Travis was a hero while to the Slavers and Masters of Slaver's bay, Travis was a pirate and criminal but Travis was determined to help free the people of Slaver's bay from the cruel Masters and to do that he needed assistance which was why he agreed to help support King Joffrey, he didn't really care about this Civil War but the assistance of Westeros would be great help for his war. Now he just needed to wait for the right time to strike against Sharp Point and he would have achieved his first objective against the Resistance.
Oxcross:
The Battle of Oxcross was more of a massacre than a battle. The forces of Reginald Lannister had been drunk after celebrating their victory of stopping the traitor forces and they had been confident that they would not face a battle so soon after their victory. Even so Reginald had set up lookouts like a commander should. But thanks to Raynald Westerling and Flement Brax, they had been able to take out these lookouts using their men. Then in the middle of the night, Robb's Direwolf Grey Wind had sent out a loud howl which sent the Lannister Horses into a panic frenzy and while the Lannister soldiers were trying to sort out the Situation, Robb's forces attacked from the East while the GreatJon and Rickard Karstark had attacked from the North and the Brax and Westerling Forces had attacked from the West. The Lannisters were caught on three sides and quickly overrun in the panic. The Battle only lasted until morning but the morning revealed the devastation of the attack, most of Reginald's force had been wiped out and several knights such as Antario Jast and Lymond Vikary had been captured. Rurpert Brax had been killed in the fighting by Rickard Karstark which pleased Flement though Reginald Lannister had fled to Lannisport.
Robb walked along with Roose Bolton who reported the dealings of the battle "5 Lannisters dead for every one of ours" Roose said to Robb
"Good" Robb replied, "How many men did we lose?"
"Not that many" Roose answered "Less than 500 dead or wounded, the attack came by surprise, the Lannisters didn't see it coming."
Robb looked around and saw that many of the Lannisters soldiers were dead and he did not want useful weapons and armour to go to waste "Stripe the bodies of anything useful and then burry them. But leave any nobles with their weapons and arms, they should be returned to their families."
"And what of the prisoners?" Roose asked, "We can't spare all of the food to feed our captives."
"We're not executing Prisoners Lord Bolton," Robb answered
"Well we don't have room for all of them" Roose replied, "So what should we do with them?"
"We'll exchange the soldiers for any of our Prisoners captured, but we'll be keeping the Nobles as hostages" Robb replied
"As you wish my lord," Roose replied
Then Robb noticed his Squire Olyvar Frey running towards him with a frantic look of his face "My lord, you better come quickly" he gasped "It's my brother Stevron, he's been injured"
Robb quickly followed Olyvar to one of the tents where he saw Lord Walder Frey's oldest son and Heir Stevron Frey lying on a cot moaning in pain. Stevron was Lord Walder's oldest son and heir to the Twins, he was in his sixties and had three marriages and although he was polite and a good man unlike his father, his oldest son Ryman was not a good man and was a greedy man like many of the Freys. Stevron had been hit by an arrow during the battle and was then trampled by a horse. A young healer who didn't look to be from Westeros was giving Stevron milk of the poppy to help him calm down but then the Healer gasped when she saw that Stevron's wound was beginning to rot
"Oh my" she gasped "We need to close that wound or else it will get infected" the Healer quickly grabbed her Healing equipment and try to help Stevron while Robb just watched until Roose pulled him away.
"There is nothing we can do for him at the minute" Roose said, "We'll just have to hope that the Healer can help close his wound. But now that we have defeated the Lannisters here at Oxcross, we have to decide on what we are doing next"
So Robb walked with Roose over to the commander's tent which had belonged to Stafford Lannister before and was now belonging to him. His top lords Rickard Karstark, Roose Bolton and GreatJon Umber had gathered at the tent along with Flement Brax and Raynald Westerling.
"Well now that we have defeated the Lannisters here, it leaves all of the Northern Westerlands undefended" GreatJon smiled
"Well since Houses Westerling and Brax have officially joined us I need to send a raven to Riverrun and release Lord Tytos Brax and Lord Gwaen Westerling" Robb said "This means that the Crag, the seat of House Westerling has now joined us so we don't need to take that castle. But we still need to take Ashemark, the seat of House Marbrand which is one of the stronger Houses in the Westerlands and the Golden Tooth is still in the Lannister hands, I want that to be a two side attack with us from the West and the Rivermen from the East."
"Understood my Lord" GreatJon replied
"And now that most of the Lannister forces have been defeated with most with Tywin and in the South, that leaves the gold mines and livestock in the North mostly undefended so we will be raiding them, it's time to make them pay for what happened in the Riverlands" the men cheered at Robb and he looked proud of what he had done but he knew that this war was far from over.
Sentinel, Essos:
Daenerys stood on the bow of the ship as she watched as she saw what must be the city of Sentinel that Calcelmo spoke about come into view. Daenerys had travelled to several cities in Essos but many of them had similar builds since many of them were colonies set up by Valyria. This city was something that she had never seen before, many Houses were made of stone that was the same colour as the sand of the desert and they were small houses with bridges connecting them. Some Houses even had large domes on them which she found fascinating "I've never seen anything like this" she said in shock
"Sentinel is one of the last cities in the Alik'r desert and the people keep to their beliefs." Calcelmo replied "But these old beliefs can cause problems, one of their oldest beliefs is about the dead, here there is a dark magic known as Necromancy which involves raising the dead, it is illegal and punishable by death but the old beliefs of the Desert involve no desecrating the dead so if you kill an undead man who is trying to kill you, then you are banished from the city due to these old beliefs"
"That doesn't sound right" Daenerys replied, "They were only trying to defend themselves"
"Sadly that has been the laws for years" Aicantar replied "And if that's not enough there are two factions here known as the Crowns and Forebears who are often fighting each other. The Crowns stick to their old beliefs while the Forebears like to mix with the other Kingdoms in the area."
Soon they began to arrive at the city of Sentinel's docks though they were shocked to see a much larger ship docked in the harbour which seemed to have fancy decorating over and it was the largest ship that Daenerys had ever seen. Calcelmo also looked a bit shocked by the ship.
"That's High King Emeric's personal ship" he said "If that ship is here then that means that High King Emeric is visiting Sentinel"
"Why would the High King be visiting this city?" Jorah asked
"Well he is King Fahara'jad's son in law, Emeric's wife Maraya is Fahara'jad's oldest daughter." Calcelmo replied "But something must be going on as there seems to be a lot more military here than there usually is." Then as soon as they docked, some of the Sentinel guard led by a heavily armoured man who imminently walked over to them and then bordered the ship.
"We don't get outsiders here very often" the man spoke with a rough voice, which Daenerys could tell was of a man who was doing his job "State your business here at Sentinel."
Calcelmo walked over to him "Hey take it easy General Thoda" he said, "I've just returned for the expedition and I ran across some old friends of mine"
The man known as Thoda looked at Farengar and then back to Calcelmo "Since King Fahara'jad trusts you then I won't mind these outsiders but we will have our eye on them. You have come at an important time, High King Emeric is here with King Fahara'jad, it seems we might be marching off to war once again"
"Why what is happening?" Aicantar asked
"Trouble in Rivenspire" Thoda replied "High King Emeric's idea of having a council of Nobles rule in Shornhelm was meant to be temporary but now the region is in a state of Civil War. Baron Wylon Montclair has risen up and declared himself King of Shornhelm and now Emeric is facing problems because of this. Anyway I'll leave you to it?" Thoda then left and Daenerys looked at Calcelmo.
"Who is Baron Wylon Montclair?" she asked
"He is one of the more powerful lords of Rivenspire" Calcelmo replied "After Ranser was defeated Emeric had a council of Nobles rule Rivenspire and they were the three most powerful Houses of the Region. Baron Wylon Montclair, Baron Alard Dorell and Countess Eselede Tamrith. But this was meant to be tempory and people never trusted the Montclair family since they only joined Emeric after it was clear that Ranser would lose the war. This might make things easier as you may get a chance to prove yourself."
"How?" Farengar asked
"Well if High King Emeric is here then maybe I can convince him that you guys can help with the problem." Calcelmo replied "Emeric and I are also good friends as I helped him with research and I can put in a good word for you."
"Well we should go and see him them" Daenerys spoke
"We will" Calcelmo replied "But let me do the talking"
Iron Islands:
Yara Greyjoy stood at the Wheel of her personal ship which she called the Black Wind, this had been her ships for years and she had sailed it to a number of ports including Fair Island, Lannisport and the Arbor. The Black Wind was a longship but it was Yara's personal ship and she had known it's crew for a while, one of her favourite members was an Ironborn warrior known as Qarl the Maid who was one of Yara's lovers. Yara always enjoyed sailing around Westeros and she had always dreamt of one day becoming the first Lady of Pyke which meant that she would rule the Iron Islands, she did not even have very ladylike looks and was a plain girl. After Theon had been sent to the Starks as a ward after her father's failed Rebellion, she had been groomed to be Balon Greyjoy's heir even though she was a woman and she knew how to rule the Iron Islands unlike Theon and she had been raiding like the Ironborn did. But while she had teased her brother when he returned, she was actually quite happy to see him again, she never had anyone to talk to after Theon left so she had been lonely and she was not overly fond of her uncle's so she had been happy when she heard that Theon was returning. But now Theon was missing, he had not reported in when the Ironborn had set sail, Yara would be sailing to Deepwood Motte while her uncle Victorian would be sailing for Moat Calian.
When her father heard that Theon was missing, he claimed that it proved that Theon was no Greyjoy and no Ironborn as he saw it that he must have fled like a coward. Yara felt a bit sad, she had really been looking forward to fighting alongside her brother raiding like the Ironborn of old had done but now she was alone. Her father had also claimed that Theon was no son of his and he would never be welcome on the Iron Islands again.
"Why Theon" Yara said to herself "Why did you have to leave like that, I thought we were going to be raiding like the Ironborn of the past have done for many years. Now you will never be welcomed at your own home again"
Meanwhile on the Spearhead:
Despite what Yara thought, Theon was in truth not that far from Yara. Captain Kaleen's ship, the Spearhead, had been sailing at the back on the fleet and so when they had entered thick fog, Kaleen had managed to sneak away from the rest of the fleet and sail towards Sea Dragon Point. Sea Dragon Point was a forested Peninsula just West of the Wolfswood and near Deepwood Motte where Yara was sailing, this area was thinly populated and contained hills and bogs as well as the ruins of ancient First Men strongholds. This had also been an area that House Stark had annexed during the conquest of the North and they took this area from the Warg King and Children of the Forest. This was also a place where the Ironborn had held before but the main reason why Theon had wanted to come to Sea Dragon Point was because this area was not that far from Fort Snowhawke where the remains of the First Legion had gathered while the rest under Ulfric Stormcloak went South. The Spearhead had anchored near one of the small villages and Theon had purchased a horse that would allow him to get to Fort Snowhawke. Before he left he turned back to Captain Kaleen "Thank you for bringing me here" he said to her.
"I'm glad to have met you Theon Greyjoy" Kaleen said to him "You are not like the other Ironborn and maybe one day you will change the Ironborn into a better people than the petty raiders that they are. Maybe one day we will see each other again."
"Maybe we will" Theon smiled as he got onto the horse "I need to get to Fort Snowhawke and inform Prince Martin and Lord Robb what has happened. We can hopefully reform the armies and retake what the Ironborn take while they are here." Then Theon rode off and Kaleen smiled as he rode off into the distance.
Somewhere in the North:
Viserys Targaryen walked up a set of stairs that had been carved into the Mountainside as he walked up the slope and he eventually cane to the large shrine of Mehrunes Dagon. The shrine was a large statue of the Daedric Prince himself carved into the mountain with Dagon sat on a throne with his four arms at his side and his large axe below him. Below the statue was an alter which had the heads of Dagon carved into the sides and a large door which led inside the shrine which was locked. Silus was already there waiting and he had placed the scabbard and pommel stone fragment onto the Alter. "You're here, good." He said "Now if you just place the Razor on the alter and I should be able to speak with the Lord of Change himself and ask him to repair the razor." Viserys place the razor onto the alter and then Silus placed his hands onto the alter "Mehrunes Dagon, the Lord of Change, we have brought the pieces of your razor to you. We beg of you, please, bring the blade's full glory to the world again" Viserys watched and nothing happened, Silus sighed and he looked at Viserys "It's not working, why don't you give it a try? Just place your hands on the Altar.
So then Viserys walked over to the Alter and he placed his hands on the altar, as soon as his hands were on the altar, he heard a voice in his head which Silus did not hear.
"You, mortal!" the voice boomed in Viserys' head "You are worthy of speaking to, you have claimed the pieces of my razor, it has been an amusing game to witness. But Dagon does not claim a winner while there is a pawn on the board. Kill Silus, he and his family have served their purpose!"
Viserys mouth widened into a sneer "It will be done lord Dagon" he whispered
"Kill him, take your rightful place as my champion or I will crush you!" Dagon ordered.
Viserys pulled his hands away from the Altar and he looked at Silus "Lord Dagon has spoken" he sneered and then he plunged a dagger into Silus' chest who gasped in pain as Viserys brought the dagger out. Silus fell to his knees as he choked on his own blood before falling to the side where he gave a few deep breaths before breathing his last. Viserys smiled at Silus' body before he went back to the Altar and placed his hands on it.
"I am pleased Mortal" Dagon spoke "I will give you my Razor, use it to wreak havoc on this world!"
"Thank you lord Dagon" Viserys spoke "I will use this razor in your name to become King"
"You have been a worthy tool!" Dagon replied, "Fill this world with destruction in my name. Place you hands on the Altar one last time and you will witness the power of Mehrunes Dagon for yourself" Viserys looked at the altar and he watched as the razor hovered in the air and the piece of the Pommel stone floated and reattached to the rest of the Pommel and the blade glowed as it went into its original scabbard, then Viserys reached out and grabbed the razor "Before you do mortal, one final challenge!" Dagon laughed and then there was a flash of light and two Dremora lords with black armour and skin with horns appeared on the field.
"A challenger is near" they shouted and they drew big weapons and charged at Viserys. Viserys used the reforged razor to slice open the throat of one Dremora and used the magic he learnt with the Mythic Dawn to vanish before stabbing the other Dremora in the throat. Both fell down chocking on their blood while Viserys smiled. He was about to leave when he noticed a key on one of the lords, this was the keep to the shrine and Viserys sneered as he may have found more useful items to help with his plans to become King.
Harrenhal:
Tywin Lannister sat in his base at Harrenhal with some of his best Commanders which included Ser Addam Marbrand, Ser Harys Swyft, Lord Leo Lefford and his brother Kevan Lannister.
"The armies of the North have attacked our army training at Oxcross" Addam Marbrand spoke to the others "The attack came by surprise, the force has been completely shattered. Lord Stafford and Rupert Brax are dead and Reginald has fled."
Tywin looked at the table at hearing about the death of his cousin and brother in law Stafford, he had Tywin's cousin but also his brother in law since his sister Johanna had been Tywin's beloved wife. Stafford had also been one of the three Lannisters taken by Lady Ellyn Reyne after the imprisonment of her wife Walderan Tarbeck that would lead to the Reyne-Tarbeck Rebellion. He was saddened to hear about his death but did not show it. He was however happy to hear about Rupert Brax's death since he never did like the man, he saw his brother Andros Brax as a better man.
"The Starks have over-extended their lines" Harys Swyft suggested "Now that Summer is over they'll have a hard time keeping their men and horses fed."
Tywin snorted "The Starks understand Winter better than we do, the cold won't beat them"
Leo Lefford then spoke up "There is word that the Houses are growing discontent throughout the whole Kingdom. House Brax, Westerling, Baneford and Yew have already declared themselves to Prince Martin's side and other houses may be following. The smallfolk in King's Landing are also on the verge of rioting, with the Reach cut off and supplied being stolen by the Resistance there is very little food"
"This is war, no one is content" Tywin snorted "We have underestimated the Stark Boy and the Black Prince for too long. They won a great victory at Dragon Bridge and now one at Oxcross. Prince Martin may now be in the Stormlands to fight his uncle Renly but Martin had one of the best commanders in Westeros at his back."
"With our army at Oxcross defeated the Westerlands are almost undefended" Lefford spoke "Maybe we should return home and try to fight them"
"You would abandon Harrenhal?" Addam scoffed
Tywin then had an idea "Prince Martin has to fight the army in the South against Renly so he's no threat to King's Landing at the moment. We will be sending some of our men back to fight the Northerns" he turned to Lefford "Lord Lefford, you will go back and defend your home of the Golden Tooth, it's one of the main forts in the Westerlands and it must be held"
"Understood my lord" Lefford spoke
"And Marbrand will be taking half the men here to the Westerlands and defend the South from further Stark attacks. Dismissed" All of the lords at the meeting then got up and prepared to leave but Tywin looked at his brother "No brother you stay, I need a few words." Kevan nodded and when the other lords left, he stayed and sat on a chair next to Tywin who poured them both a goblet of wine "This is getting harder now." He said "To keep our cover, Flement sent a letter explaining what Reginald and Rupert did and how they knew what we are really up to. Reginald will have to be eliminated before he exposes the truth."
"I never did trust that snake" Kevan snorted "He always desired to have more even though he was rich and controlled Lannisport, he wanted Casterly Rock and be Warden of the West."
"We will find a way to Eliminate him" Tywin said "But right now I am concerned about what is happening in King's Landing. Tyrion has sent letters informing me that Joffrey is becoming more and more unstable. This makes me glad that I decided to support Prince Martin in secret"
"He may have to battle Renly and his large force" Kevan said "But Lord Tarly will know what to do, he did give Robert his only defeat in the Rebellion. But I've been hearing strange rumours in the South saying that Martin has hatched dragons. But that cannot be true, dragons have been dead for generations and he is a Baratheon, not a Targaryen."
"Well after all the things I've heard I'm not sure what to believe" Tywin said "But I guess we will find out the truth soon."
King's Landing, Red Keep:
Sansa Stark was terrified when she was forced into the Red Keep Throne room by the remaining Kingsguard, Ser Meryn Trant, Osmund Kettleback and Mandon Moore who was the roughest of King Joffrey's new Kingsguard, Ser Arys Oakheart was more friendlier towards her and Sandor Clegane looked at her in pity. Joffrey stood up from the throne as he pointed his crossbow at him, his one remaining eye seemed to be full of rage and madness. "You're here to answer for your brother's latest treason!" he yelled in anger
Sansa now looked scared, Joffrey was looking more and more mad with each passing day, in fact she had heard rumours go around that Joffrey was even worse than the Mad King and some were naming him 'Aerys III the second Mad King and Sansa was now starting to believe these rumours "Your Grace" she said in desperation "Whatever my brother has done I had nothing to do with it, I was here in King's Landing, how could I have helped him."
Joffrey's eye narrowed and he looked at Lancel Lannister "Lancel, tell her of this outrage!" he ordered
Lancel Lannister looked terrified of Joffrey as the wrong word could get him killed "Using Vile Sorcery, your brother and his savage Northerns fell on Stafford Lannister's army with an army of wolves. Thousands of good men were slain and after the slaughter, the Northerns feasted on the flesh of the dead with Stafford Lannister being served as a feast to the lords." Some of the others whispered in fear while Sandor rolled his eyes at the foolish belief.
Sansa also had to resist the urge to laugh "Using vile sorcery?" she questioned "Northerns feasting on the dead, where did you hear such rubbish? Did you just make that up as an excuses of why your Lannister armies keep failing to stop my brother" Lancel just stared at her "If you had better officers in charge then they could give you an explanation." She then looked at Joffrey "Or why don't you go out and see this for yourself and she why your armies keep failing to stop your enemies." Joffrey glared at her while Sandor gave a small smile.
Joffrey looked like he was ready to snap and he looked at his Kingsguard "I think this bitch needs a lesson in respect. Ser Meryn, tear the back of her dress, I want to what she looks like under that dress." Ser Meryn Trant sneered as he marched over and gripped the back of Sansa's dress and with one tug, he tore the back open showing her bare back and Sansa was barely holding tears. Joffrey laughed at her when he saw the tears and decided to make her even more uncomfortable "Bring her right here, I want to feel her."
Sansa's eyes widened with horror as Ser Meryn, Moore and Kettleback roughly picked her put by the arms and dragged her to the Iron Throne where Joffrey had sat down. Arys Oakheart and Sandor looked horrified at what Joffrey was doing. Soon Sansa was forced to sit on Joffrey's lap while he put down the crossbow and Meryn Trant stood right behind her, which meant that Sansa couldn't do anything to stop what Joffrey was going to do to her. Joffrey then rubbed his hands together and stroked Sansa's hair before tugging it which forced her head near Joffrey's face. Sansa could see madness in Joffrey's remaining eye and the wicked smirk he had. Joffrey then sniffed her hair before placing his hands around Sansa's back and rubbed her back where her dress had been ripped and Joffrey placed his figers around the torn dress and began to remove the dress from her shoulders. Sansa had to keep hold of her dress to prevent it from falling completely but the top of her breasts were exposed and Joffrey eyed them with lust as if he wanted to feel them.
"You have a beautiful body my lady" Joffrey sneered "Maybe I'll chain you to my bed and we will have some fun together"
Sansa had tears in her eyes but now she had finally had enough of Joffrey and so she spat in his remaining eye and hissed "You are no true King!" she spat "A true King cares for his subject, not abuses them!"
Joffrey whipped the spit of his face and then he threw Sansa roughly to the floor before standing up from the throne "You Northern Bitch!" he snarled "You dare speak to your rightful king like that. I think you need a few lessons!" he turned to Ser Meryn "Ser Meryn, show this Northern bitch what happens when you insult the King"
Meryn Trant sneered and then he rougly kicked Sansa and knocked her to the floor before he punched her a few times. Sansa tried to hold the tears in her eyes but they started to fall and she could see Joffrey's satisfied smirk.
"WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS!" a voice growled and everyone turned to see a fuming Tyrion Lannister enter the hall with his sworn shield Bronn and a few Lannister guards he brought from his father's camp led by Ser Hugh Clifton, one of the friendlier Lannisters. Tyrion took one look at Sansa and his eyes narrowed at the crowd "Someone give this girl to cover herself up" Sandor Clegane removed his white cloak and then covered Sansa with it. Tyrion then glared at Meryn Trant "What kind of a knight are you?" he spat "Beating up a defenceless girl!"
"I'm the kind of Knight that serves his king Imp!" Meryn Trant spat
Bronn smirked "Careful now, you wouldn't want to stain that pretty white cloak with blood now would you" he sneered and Meryn Trant then backed away slightly
Tyrion then glared at Joffrey again "What do you think you are doing, assaulting Sansa Stark like that? She is a valuable hostage, not your plaything."
"You cannot speak to me like that!" Joffrey snarled "I am the King"
"Yes you are the King!" Tyrion snapped "And so far you are proving the words of the people. They are calling you the Second Mad King and your actions are why many lords and people are joining your brother's side. Plus he has my brother hostage, if you hurt Sansa Stark, what's to stop them from hurting Jaime" Tyrion knew in truth that Martin would never harm Jaime but he needed to make a point "I don't think Sansa Stark will be spending anymore time with you since you clearly cannot be trusted with her. She will now be under my protection!"
"You cannot do that!" Joffrey snapped "I am the King, I can do what I like"
"You can do what you like?" Tyrion questioned "Aegon IV had many bastards and he legitimized them all when he died and caused the Blackfrye Rebellions. King Maegor slaughter the Faith Militant and was named as a cruel King for it. King Daeron I wanted Dorne and he died trying to hold it. The Mad King did as he liked, did your uncle Jaime explain what happened to him?"
Meryn Trant narrowed his eyes at him "No one threatens the King in presence of the Kingsguard!" he growled and he drew his sword slightly
Tyrion laughed "I'm not threatening the King, I'm merely educating him." He then turned to Bronn "Bronn, if Ser Meryn speaks up again, kill him, you will do us all a favour." Bronn placed his hand of his sword and smirked at Meryn Trant whose eyes widened in fear. "Well now that that's settled, I think I'm going to have a few words with Lady Sansa" Hugh Clifton and Bronn helped Sansa to her feet and then helped her from the throne room.
They later came to the Tower of the Hand where Tyrion sat down with Sansa at his desk in the Tower "Joffrey is growing more and more unstable each day" Tyrion said "It won't be long before he snaps and he truly becomes mad then none of us will be safe." Tyrion then looked at Sansa "I don't want you wandering the castle anymore on your own or with just your handmaiden. I will assign some of my men to watch over you, these men are not like the ones that Joffrey has and they will protect you. They also have orders not to take you to the King unless I allow it."
"Thank you Lord Tyrion" Sansa said
"I just hope that this war is over soon and Joffrey is no longer King as this kingdom is doomed with him as King."
City of Sentinel: Essos:
General Thoda led Calcelmo along with Farengar, Jorah and Daenerys over to the city palace of Sentinel. Daenerys looked around the city and saw buildings made of sandstone and there were some kind of metal pipes which went over the city.
"Those pipes help pump the city with fresh water" Calcelmo said to her when he saw her looking at the pipes "They were an invention of mine to help get fresh water since water is hard to find in the desert." Daenerys then looked around and she felt a bit uncomfortable with everyone starting at her in suspicion which Calcelmo noted "The people here are just suspicious of you because you're from outside these lands. It has been that way since the Great War."
"The war was devastating in the whole kingdom" Thoda added "The cities of Satakalaam and Taneth were both sacked during the war which has created a lot of suspicion and many were to be sold into slavery at Slavers Bay but the Fleets of Sentinel stopped the Slaver Fleets with help from a sailor who hates slavery and we rescued many of the captured people though not everyone made it as some were still taken into Slavery."
"Well I guess that would create suspicion" Jorah admitted
"So what will happen when me meet High King Emeric and King Fahara'jad?" Daenerys asked
"I will do the talking" Calcelmo replied "I can talk to them about allowing you to have refugee here. Emeric is a good man but it is likely that he will want something in return"
Then they came to Sentinel palace which was a large sandstone building with a large done and several towers. They all then entered the building and they found that most of the floor was covered in carpets and a throne was stationed at the back of the room. Sat on the throne was tall muscular man who looked like he was Dornish if he was from Westeros and he had thick black hair and a shaved face. He wore a set of bronze coloured armour and he held a staff in one hand with a spike at the end. Standing near him were a man and woman who looked completely different from each other. The woman had dark skin like the man on the throne though her skin colour was a tad lighter and she wore a rich purple dress and she had a flower in her light brown hair. The man next to her was clearly important as he wore a large crown on his head and he wore very expensive and fancy robes. This man also had thick black hair and a thick black beard.
"Father" the woman said "My husband really needs your advise with this matter"
"Well Maraya" King Fahara'jad said "My advice would be to start sending troops to Rivenspire but not a massive amount since there isn't time to summon all of the troops and then march on Shornhelm. You should talk to King Casimir, apart from you and Stormhaven, the forces of Daggerfall are the closest"
"But Shornhelm is on the verge of falling" Emeric gasped "If Shornhelm falls then this whole Kingdom could fall apart and we still don't know who it is who is supply Montclair and his men"
Then Thoda entered the room "Sorry for the interruption but Calcelmo has returned" he said which made everyone look at him and they saw Calcelmo enter the throne room.
King Fahara'jad then stood up from his throne "So Calcelmo, how did your expedition go?" he asked
"Well that ruin is definite one of the entrances to the Ancient City of Blackreach." Calcelmo replied "But the lock is sealed tight and I may have to forge a special key to open"
"Well I wish you luck in your research Calcelmo" Fahara'jad said "Your research was able to save many when the droughts hit my lands"
It was then that High Queen Maraya noticed Daenerys, Farengar and Jorah "Now would you tell us who they are Calcelmo?" she asked
Calcelmo looked at her and he nodded for Daenerys, Farengar and Jorah to come over "High King Emeric, I would like you to meet and old friend of mine, this is Calcelmo secret Fire, he's a mage and scholar like me though he is an expert of the Dragon Cults. And this is Lady Daenerys Targaryen and her sworn sword Jorah Mormont."
Emeric looked at Daenerys with suspicion "Targaryen?" he questioned "You're one of those whose family came from Valyria. Our Kingdoms waged war with Valyria many times and we always won though they did destroy some of our cities. They tried to intimidate us with their dragons but we knew how to fight dragons, they enslaved many innocent people just for their power and they whipped out the Peaceful Rhoynar people and drove them from their lands, some managed to find their way here and we would have let them settled if Queen Nymeria had made it here if a Storm hadn't sent her off course." Daenerys looked worried that they would be turned away because her family had once been one of the Dragonlords of Valyria but then Emeric smiled "But I am not someone who holds the sins of the past in the present day members of those families so, welcome" Daenerys then sighed in relief as it now looked like she would be granted a place to stay "Now I know what happened in Westeros, a large Rebellion broke out and your family was overthrown and you were forced to move around."
"Yes High King" Daenerys said softly "I've been wandering around for many years and all I ever wanted was to have a home. A place to stay without being in fear of being killed."
"So you want to have a home here right?" Emeric questioned "Well I could allow it but I can't just let you settle here until you have proven that you can live here without disturbing the peace here. So if you and any men you have an help for fill something for me then I will allow you and anyone you have to settle here."
Daenerys eyes widened with happiness "Oh thank you High King" she replied "Thank you for giving me this chance and for my comrades"
"Don't get your hopes up yet my lady" Emeric chuckled "Because it won't be an easy task. The task I want you to help is to help restore peace in Rivenspire."
Farengar spoke up next "We heard a few things about what's happening in Rivenspire but what is the full story?" he asked
Emeric sighed "Well the whole situation is my fault because I'm the one who caused Ranser's war to start" he said "Years ago when I first become King of Wayrest, I had to find a bride and when I was elected High King, it meant I would have to find a queen from one of the other Regions of the Kingdoms to help unite the kingdoms. Ranser's daughter was one of the best candidates and Ranser groomed her to be my Queen. But then I married King Fahara'jad's daughter Maraya instead and Ranser took that as a slight, he has always been looked down so Ranser built an army and formed alliances with Qarth and he then started his war. Wayrest was besieged and Evermore was attacked by Qarth and then fleets of Slavers and Sellswords landed and attacked the Alik'r desert cities. The war lasted a while since we had to the sellswords first but eventually the Siege of Wayrest was broken and Ranser fled Shornhelm and soon we attack Rivenspire with most of Ranser's remaining army killed at Markwasten Moor and Shornhelm was taken. Ranser escaped but was killed by his own men later on. After the war, I didn't trust any of the Houses to rule so I appointed the three most powerful Houses to join rule, it seemed a smart strategy. But now House Montclair has risen up and they seem to have Outside help and they could weaken my rule. Maraya actually advised me to appoint a single ruler but I just didn't trust any of them."
"So you want us to help solve this issue?" Daenerys questioned
"Well I hoping that you can help Countess Eselde Tamrith and Baron Alard Dorell with the war." Emeric said "They're both trying to stop Montclair but I fear that after they've dealt with Montclair, they'll start fighting each other, they both hate each other due to their beliefs. King Casimir has sent some of his men to help led by war hero Darien Gautier. I will take you back to Wayrest on my ship and arrange a carriage to take you to Rivenspire. Do you think you can do this"
"I will do what it takes to prove myself" Daenerys replied
Emeric smiled and then he shook Daenerys' hand "And I wish you luck in your mission."
Parchments: The Stormlands:
Martin had gathered his forces outside the Fortress of Parchments, the seat of House Penrose. House Penrose was one of the more powerful Houses in terms of political power, they weren't as powerful in military men but they had good political power which they had gained when Lord Ronnel Penrose married Princess Elaena Targaryen and became Master of coin. Then another member of House Penrose, Lady Aelinor Penrose married Prince Aerys Targaryen who would become King Aerys I, these marriages made House Penrose powerful in political power. Martin's army had captured Parchments easy as Lord Penrose was an old and sickly man and now most of the army had camped outside Parchments. With the fall of Parchments, Martin had taken control of most of the Stormlands with just a few of the Northern lands still loyal to his Uncle Renly. Just a short while ago, the Scouts had reported that Renly's army had been spotted and Renly had rode ahead with Lord Mace Tyrell and Renly's rainbow guard.
Now Martin had gathered General Tullius, Delphine, Willas Tyrell, Randyll Tarly, Stannis Baratheon and a few other Blades. Alessia and Esbern were nearby with the hatched dragons and were ready to reveal them. The Red Priestess Melisandre was also with Martin, ever since Martin had hatched dragons, she believed that Martin had a great Destiny ahead of him and that it was her duty to guide him through it. Martin didn't have anything against other Religions and allowed her in the camp as long as she didn't cause trouble.
Soon Martin saw his uncle Renly dressed in a set of green plated armour and his helmet was in the shape of a Stag. Lord Mace Tyrell rode alongside him dressed in the finest armour made and was covered in Jewels, Willas snorted at his father's idea of armour which was meant for show, not war. Renly's Rainbow guard, own version of the Kingsguard, were with him, all dressed in different coloured suits of armour and Martin saw Loras Tyrell and Brienne of Tarth among them.
All of the horses stopped in front of Martin and his horse and Renly spoke first "Brother, Nephew" he said "Have you decided to bend the knee?"
"Why would we bend the knee to someone like you" Stannis mocked "Martin here is King Robert's oldest trueborn son which makes him the rightful king. He has a better claim to the throne than you. Why should you be King of the Iron Throne"
"Because I'm the brother to the previous King" Renly said simply
"But not the oldest" Stannis hissed "The laws of succession say that throne passes to the oldest son first and if there are none then to the oldest brother which is me in this case. Your claim to the Iron Throne is weak."
Martin then spoke up next "You know what I see?" he asked "I see men forced to fight for the greed of some men. At least I have men who are loyal to me and will fight for me because they believe in me."
"Renly Baratheon will be a good king!" Loras Tyrell snapped "He is loved by the people and he would be a better king than your bastard brother on the throne"
Martin chuckled "While I don't deny the fact that my uncle would be a better King than my brother, it still doesn't make him a good ruler. You didn't take your duty as Lord of Storm's End or Master of Laws seriously. Being a King is a serious job, it is not a game and that's what you're treating this as."
Renly then looked at Martin "How many men do you have?" he asked "I have the might of the Reach and Stormlands at my back."
"You might have the might of the Reach, but you don't have the Reach's best commander" Randyll Tarly spoke up.
Mace Tyrell looked at Randyll "Lord Randyll" he greeted "So now you break your oath to House Tyrell and join someone else"
Randyll glared at Mace Tyrell "You may have more men but battles are not always won by numbers, many of our men have proper Battle Experience and they have fought in battles such as Dragon's Bridge."
General Tullius spoke up next "What battles have your men fought in?" he questioned "The answer to that is none, all you've done is fight in Tourney's which is different from proper battles."
Mace Tyrell then smirked "I won a great victory during the Rebellion, I defeated Robert at the Battle of Ashford, the only victory for the Crown in the war."
All of Martin's allies looked at each other and then at Mace and then Martin laughed "You won the Battle of Ashford?" he chuckled "All you did in the Rebellion was stay outside Storm's end and try to starve them out. The fighting at Ashford was mostly over when you joined the fighting, it was Randyll Tarly who won that victory." Mace and Loras glared at Martin for that but the Blades prevented them from doing anything "Uncle listen to me, just stop this foolish idea of being King, I don't want to fight you, you are still my uncle but I can't let you take the throne when I'm meant to be King. Do you think the People will love you, the Resistance in the Crownlands fight in my name, the North and Riverlands fight for me along with the Vale and I've got most of the Stormlands at my back. Just give up this foolish idea."
Renly just sneered and then Martin saw something strange around his neck, it was some kind of black amulet that had some kind of power in it which didn't seem like good power. "Sorry Nephew but if you won't bend the knee then we will have our fight, Septons say that I am chosen by the gods."
It was clear that Renly had just made that up and then Melisandre spoke up "Our True King has been chosen by the Gods and they have given him a great gift, a sign that he was chosen." Martin then turned to where Esbern and Alessia were and then they came with a few more Blades and brought the Five Dragon Cage over which were covered in cloth. When the cloths were removed, the five baby dragons all snarled at Renly and the sight of the Dragons made Renly and his men jumped back in shock "This is our sign" Melisandre added "Our King has been gifted with dragons, a sign that he was chosen."
Renly looked shocked at the sight of the dragons but then sneered "This is just another reason why I should take the throne, you have dragonblood in you and how do we know you don't become like the Targaryens, you know how they did. Those dragons are just babies and one hit is all it will take. We'll meet on the Battlefield tomorrow"
"So be it" Martin sighed and then Renly and his men rode off except for Loras who looked at his brother.
"Willas come with us" he said "You're our brother, you should be fighting for your family"
"I am Loras" Willas said "I fight for my family on Martin's side so that we don't get punished too much. Besides, Martin is like a brother to me, I love his sister and I will protect her." Loras looked shocked that Willas claimed that he loved Princess Alessia, he had heard rumours about it but didn't know the truth. Loras just sighed and he then followed Renly.
When they were gone, Stannis looked at Martin "Well we should get the men ready for battle" he said "We've got a big day coming"
"We do" Martin sighed "I hoped to convince Renly to stand down but now I know the truth, he won't bend the knee, not like this, so I will have to beat him, but I won't kill him."
Narrow Sea:
Arya sat in the hold of one of the ships that sailed from, Sharp Point. The Resistance had managed to get nearly 50 ships for their fleet and the Swordfish at the front led them. Arya sat in a ship that was in the middle of the fleet with the other members of the her Resistance squad, Burd, Bor, Soren, Dion, Langley and her captain Danus Arellian. Itius Hayn commanded the Swordfish along with his second in Command Giovanni Civello.
Right now, Arya was talking with the other members of her Resistance squad "So what is going to happen when we get back to Anvil?" she asked
"Well Carmalo Truiand has another mission for us" Danus answered "But this one will not be easy as from what I've heard, we will be going to help another Resistance cell deep in Lannister Territory. I've been told that Servatius Quintilius and Garrus Darellian are going to Claw Island as well."
"So our mission will take us deep in enemy Territory," Burd asked
"Yes" Dion replied "I think the area is Maidenpool which is still held by forces loyal to the Iron Throne and there is a Resistance Cell trying to liberate the town but they are having issues."
"Well we have to get back to Anvil first" Danus added
Arya then looked around the ship she was on, this ship was smaller than the Swordfish and other ships but it had Scorpion Crossbows on the deck and they had the archers ready on the deck. She felt proud of what she was doing but then there was a rumble and the ship sook a bit "What was that?" she wondered
"Maybe it's just the sea" Bor suggested "The seas get like this during the night"
Then there was a loud crash and something came right though the ship's hull and hit the other side. Arya and her squad looked and saw it was a large Scorpion Crossbow bolt "What is going on?" Danus demanded "Everyone on deck" he ordered and everyone followed him up the stairs to the deck and their eyes widened at what they saw. Some of the Ships in their Fleet were on fire and starting to break apart. They were being fired at from Scorpion crossbows and catapults. Danus looked and saw flashed in the distance and his eyes widened in shock "It's the Lannisters!" he shouted, "It's an ambush"
"How did they find us?" Dion demanded
"They must had a spy at Sharp Point and informed them that we were there!" Danus shouted. Then they saw one of the Ships in their Fleet break in two and sink and then the mast of another collapsed. Danus looked at the crew "Everyone to their stations!" Danus shouted "Arm the Scorpion crossbows, attack the enemy ships!"
Arya then went over to one of the Scorpions and Langley joined her. Bor and Soren armed another one while Burd and Dion then took command of another one. But all around her, all Arya saw was fire and ships breaking up and she could not find an enemy to fire at. But then she saw one of the Lannister's ships enter the Resistance fleet, this ship was massive and it was much larger than her ship. Many of the Resistance ships were burning and the new large Lannister ship made short work of these ships and quickly reduced them to splinters and Arya watched as they quickly sank.
On the Justice, the flagship of the Lannister Fleet, Travis Thresh commanded the attack on the Resistance. Along with his own fleet he had been given the Lionstar and a few other ships from the Lannister Fleet at King's Landing. He had waited until night and rough weather and then he had launched his attack on the Resistance fleet. The attack had came by surprise and many of the ships were burning and the catapults on the Justice quickly sank them when they came in to sweep the area.
"Admiral!" call one of the sailors "Most of the Resistance fleet is destroyed, a few ships managed to escape but the Swordfish is among them"
"There is no point going after them now" Travis said "Let them go, we dealt a blow to the Resistance but we prevented them from gaining their big reward, a small fleet will be of no threat to us. Now we sail to Sharp Point and we show what happens when you make friends with the Resistance."
"Admiral!" another sailor shouted, "There's one more Resistance ship there, it's undamaged and alone"
Travis smirked "One more Resistance ship to be taken down, concentrate all fire on that lone ship" the sailors on the Justice quickly loaded the Scorpions and catapults and then fired them at the lone ship.
Arya watched as the massive ship turned on her ship and began firing. She and Langley fired their Scorpion crossbow bolts but they did little against the thick hull of the large ship. Then she watched as flaming missiles from the catapults hit the main mast of her ship and caused the mast to break up in flames and collapse. A scorpion bolt destroyed the rudder and made the ship unable to move. Then she watched as another flaming missile struck the deck near where Arya was which blew her back. Dion and Burd helped her up but they saw that Bor and Soren had been hit by the blast and they were now lying on the deck dead, their bodies had been burnt by the blast and they could hardly be recognised. Several Scorpion bolts then penetrated the hull and the ship began to take on water and tilt to the side. Finally, Danus saw that this was a lost cause and he shouted out to the crew "All hands, abandon Ship, get in the water, the ship is lost!" Soon all of the surviving crew began to jump overboard and into the water and began to swim away from the burning ship. Arya and Danus were the last crew members on board and soon then began to jump over but Danus then stopped and Arya looked at him.
"Danus come on we have to go" Arya hissed at him "The ship is sinking"
"Arya listen to me" Danus said to her "If I don't make it then Dion has to take command."
"Don't talk like that!" Arya snapped "If we go now then we can make it and try to get help."
"It may take too long at the water is cold" Danus sighed "Just promise that you get the mission done" Then he heard a whooshing and he looked to see another flaming missile fly through the air, his eyes widened and he pushed Arya back just as the missile struck the deck. This missile exploded and then Arya was blown off the ship as her ship then broke up and began to sink in two pieces. Arya was blown back into the water and she managed to swim up to the surface and watched as her ship quickly sank beneath the water.
Back on the Justice, Travis smiled after seeing the last Resistance ship explode and sink "Well now that that's done, we sail to Sharp Point." He said, his men cheered at him and they looked forward to dealing another blow to their enemies, today had been a victory for the Lannisters. Travis soon turned the Justice around, and the rest of the Fleet began to sail towards Sharp Point.
Arya managed to get on top of some broken wood and she looked around her and saw fires all over the water and the remains of some of the ships that still hadn't sank. She couldn't see any other members of her crew. She was also freezing from the water and tired from the fighting so she was forced to lie back on the wood and she watched as the Lannister Fleet began to sail away.
Chapter end:
Notes: Well I finally got this chapter done and it was a long chapter, over 16,000 words and I've introduced a new OC, Travis Thresh is the new character and more about him will be revealed in later chapters, he is an Anti-Hero in this story and he will play a major role in the Resistance storyline and in season 3, I also made Joffrey even worse than he was in the series and he will get worse. There are going to be a few Star Wars Rebels references in upcoming chapters and I am sorry for the long wait but these chapters are harder to wait. I am now working on a chapter of Dragon X and a chapter of The Wolf Awakens as well as my Fictionpress story.
