by Fantasymaker76

This is my Elder Scrolls/ Game of Thrones crossover, Martin and Alessia Baratheon are twin brother and sister, trueborn children of Robert Baratheon now dark forces are after them. What do the gods have planned for them? Warning, this is not a copy story of RantingRhuu's Son of the Seven Kingdoms. Rated M for violence and possible sexual themes later on. Paring undecided.

24. The Battle of King's Landing:

The Battle of King's Landing:

Narrow Sea:

Davos Seaworth stood at the stern of his ship, the Black Bertha along with his son Mathos. The Black Bertha was Davos' personal ship which he had used during his days of smuggling though it had been upgraded over the years. The ships in Stannis' fleet were ready for a fight, they had been preparing for this day since the Civil War started and soon the Civil War would be over and Martin Baratheon would be King of Westeros. Although some of the men were getting a bit seasick as the seas had been rough for some time.

Mathos looked out to sea "The tide's against us" he stated to his father

"Aye but we have the wind" Davos responded "She'll blow us straight to the gates"

"You're coming home" Mathos stated

Davos chuckled "King's Landing hasn't been my home for twenty years. I spent most of my life dodging the royal fleet, and now I'm sailing right at one of them"

"This is the real royal fleet" Mathos stated

"It will be once Martin becomes King" Davos stated "He hasn't crowned himself yet.

"When the sun rises, Martin will sit on the Iron Throne" Mathos stated

"Gods be good" Davos sighed

"God" Davos stated "There is only one God and he watches over us"

Davos sighed, the Red Priestess had managed to convert some of the people to the Red God of R'hllor including Mathos but most weren't interested in religion "Remember son, Prince Martin is devoted to the Faith of the Nine Divines and will not allow someone to attack other religions"

"Well maybe one day he will see the truth" Mathos stated "After all, the Red God did grant him dragons. The people of King's Landing did not choose the false King Joffrey Baratheon, they say that he is as mad as the Mad King himself and they would cheer if he was kicked off the throne."

"They have a big army at the city" Davos stated

"And we have a bigger one" Mathos claimed "Their fleet is damaged from Anvil while we're at full strength. We will surround the city on three sides"

"Those walls have never been breached" Davos claimed "But there are supporters of Martin in the city which will open the gates for us and we will claim the city and remove Joffrey from the throne."

"I have faith in the Lord of Light" Mathos claimed "I have faith in our lords and I have faith in you"

Further back in the fleet:

Despite Stannis being leader of the fleet, he had stayed a bit back to keep an eye on their new ally. Alongside Stannis' flagship, the Fury, the golden hull of the Justice along with the other ships of Travis' fleet. Travis Thresh himself was currently on board the Fury inside Stannis cabin. Travis and Stannis were sat at his desk as they poured themselves a drink.

"You should know why I'm keeping you under watch" Stannis stated to Travis

"I'm not surprised" Travis stated as he drank from his cup "I was working for your enemies just a few days ago"

Stannis drank from his cup and looked at Travis "I don't trust you and neither do many of us here. You sided with our enemy and then just defected, why did you do that"

Travis looked at him "I'm not sure someone like you would understand what I do" he stated "You're from Westeros and have never seen how life is for many common people in Essos, especially those who are former slaves"

That caught Stannis' attention "Wait, you were once a slave?"

Travis rolled back his sleeve to reveal a branded mark on his upper arm "Many years ago, my parents had a ship; we were just simple merchants who made a living by travelling around buying and selling. It was a good life, but it all changed when one day we were attacked by pirates. My father was killed by a man who wore an eye patch, he was the only man on that ship who spoke, and everyone else never spoke a word. Then he had his way with my mother before selling us to a Slaver. I never saw her again and I was sold to a fighting pit, they originally used me for something their top fighters could just kill, but I was smart, I used their strength against them, and killed my first opponent. Soon I became a well known fighter who used cunning and skill against brute strength. Those skills allowed me to escape but I didn't want others to suffer what I suffered, so I made it my vow to end the practise of Slavery wherever I could. So I began rescuing other slaves and created a small rebellion. I raided a shipyard and liberated thousands of slaves as well as gaining a fleet; the Justice was one of those ships. Then I needed a headquarters so I was able to sneak men into the city of New Ghis and it took a while but we took over the city and now it's our staging grounds. But there was one thing I lacked, I needed the support of other nations and there was no way I could get that in Essos since many cities supported slavery except for Braavos so when the offer came in, I accepted it. Of course they were just using me but then the Hound convinced me that this Martin would be more willing to give me the aid I need for my war."

Stannis looked at her "If there's anything I hate its Slavery." He stated "It's barbaric how people can be sold like property and I would assist however I can but I'm needed here. If you can aid us then Martin could give you the aid, he always keeps his word"

Travis smiled "Just remember, there are still some ships in the bay that support Joffrey but I'm sure we can take them out together, I already damaged some when they tried to take my ships"

Stannis smiled "Well, we better get to work, we're approaching the city"

King's Landing: Red Keep:

In the Red Keep, Tyrion Lannister lay in his bed with Shae next to him. After Tywin's return, Tyrion had moved away from his father so that he wouldn't see that he had the girl he slept with back at the Lannister camp, Tywin had warned him not to bring Shae and warned that she would be hanged if caught so he slept away from his father. Tyrion was also under a lot of stress since the day was approaching. Today was the day when Martin arrived with his army and attacked the city. This would be the battle that would end the war and hopefully it would end with Martin winning and Joffrey being kicked off the throne. But he had been getting a lot of sleepless nights and having Shae with him made him more comfortable.

"Are you afraid my Lion?" Shae asked as she woke up

"Just a little" Tyrion admitted "This is the day where this war ends hopefully. Everything I have worked for will be decided today. But if my sister or the king discovers us then my head will be on a spike."

"I won't let them hurt you" Shae stated

Tyrion looked at her "I'm a Lannister; I don't have a choice in all this. It's not your war."

Shae moved from beside Tyrion and then lay on top of him "It is now" she stated

Tyrion chuckled "You can't fuck your way out of everything" he stated

Shae smirked "I have so far" she stated "Do you remember what you said to me when you first met me in your tent. That I should fuck you like it's the last day on this earth." Shae and Tyrion leaned into each other and kissed each other.

In another part of the keep:

Hand of the King Tywin Lannister along with his daughter sat together in a room as Tywin was making plans for the upcoming battle

"Father you can't be serious about having Joffrey out there fighting?" Cersei stated "He has no place on the battlefield"

"He is the King" Tywin stated "And that means he has to be a leader and if he stays in the Red Keep then everyone will lose faith in him. He will be given the best armour money can buy and he will be at the Mud gate where the fighting will be less intense." He then looked at his daughter "You're not as smart as you think you are, because of you, this war started and you did nothing to control your son and prevent him from making these mistakes. After this battle you will have no more control since it's clear you can't control your son. I will not allow another war to start up so soon after he started this one"

"I am the Queen" Cersei snapped

"You were the queen" Tywin stated "But when Joffrey marries, that girl will be the queen, you will just be a figurehead after that like all the other queens." Cersei then looked at what Cersei was holding "And what is that you're holding"

Cersei placed the bottle on the table "It's essence of Nightshade" she stated "I took it from Pycelle's quarters"

"And why do you have this?" Tywin asked "One drop calms nerves, three drops brings dreamless sleep while 10 drops will kill you" he narrowed his eyes "I won't let you do something foolish with this so I think I will take this with me. Once the battle is over, it won't matter who's as Joffrey will no longer act like a vicious idiot anymore. Now I must go get ready for the battle" Tywin left the room leaving an angry Cersei behind who glared at her father as she drank some wine.

The Wall:

Lord Commander Jeor Mormont and the forces of the Night's Watch, Dawnguard and Mance Rayder's Wildings have arrived at the Gates to Castle Black. The master of arms Alliser Thorne stood at the top of the wall watching over and he was not too happy about seeing the Wildlings

"Open the gate" Jeor ordered

On the wall, Alliser looked down at the Wildlings gathered, he had no idea what was going on and he hated the Wildlings. But the Lord Commander gave him an order and he nodded to the men to open the gates though many of the Watchmen were reluctant to open the gates to the Wildlings but they had their orders from the Lord Commander.

Soon, everyone was coming through the wall, the Dawnguard, the Night's Watch and the Wildlings. Many of the Watchmen who stayed at the Wall during the Great Ranging were glaring at the Wildlings.

Alliser stood next to Mormont "Why did you allow these savages through?" he asked "For Thousands of Years the Night's Watch has kept the Wildlings out and now you've just allowed them through"

"There are worse enemies North of the Wall" Jeor replied "The tales that the Deserters and fleeing Wildlings said were true"

"The dead are alive?" Alliser questioned "You saw them?"

Jeor nodded "We were attacked at the Fist; I lost half our party and would have lost more if the Jon didn't convince Mance to aid us"

"Mance Rayder the King beyond the Wall?" Alliser questioned "He was one of us and that makes him a deserter?"

Jeor sighed "As much as I hate to admit it, we need Mance; he's the only one who can keep these Wildings in line. Besides, I really don't want to fight one of them" Jeor pointed at the wall as a couple of Giants came through. It had been difficult for them to get through the wall as they were too big to fit through the tunnel and they had to bend over. Their Mammoths had been just as difficult to get through as they had gotten stuck at times.

Alliser stared in shock "I always thought that Giants were just stories"

Jeor chuckled "And if you think that's odd, then they will be just as strange"

Alliser stared in shock as the Orcs and Dark Elves came through the wall "I've never seen Wildlings like them"

"That's because they never get involved with the Watch" Isran stated as he came over "We'll need to speak with Mance about where the Wildlings will stay, it's a good thing that we still have some castles built"

"They can stay in them for now" Jeor stated "But I would like Mance here, soon we will get visitors who will want the Wildlings out, we need Mance here"

It was then that Tormund came through the wall carrying the sack that held the Wight. Mance Rayder was with him and the two of them walked over to Jeor "Where should we put this thing?" Tormund asked

"Put it in the cells" Jeor ordered "I want it watched at all times, remember, we need it to show everyone that the stories are true" Tormund and Mance nodded and then they carried the Wight away.

Alliser looked at Jeor "Was that one of them?" he asked

"It is" Isran stated "A live Wight we captured at the Fist"

West of King's Landing:

Garlen Tyrell sat on his horse alongside his brother Loras. Their army of around 20,000 had been marching towards the city but had been ordered to rest so Stannis could take Sharp Point. But now they had begun marching again and now the city was within their sights. They weren't far now and Garlen could see Blackwater Bay with King Joffrey's small fleet surrounding the harbour while in the distance, he could see Stannis' much larger fleet sailing towards the city. While in the North, Garlen could see the torches of Martin's army.

"Looks like this is nearly over now brother" Loras said to his brother

"Yes" Garlen replied "Soon we shall take this city and get rid of the tyrant Joffrey and Martin will become king"

Loras looked at bit concerned "But what will happen to father?" he asked "He openly fought for Joffrey just so he could place Margaery on the Throne."

"What happens to father is up to the King" Garlen stated "But right now, I'm more concerned about our sister, she's in the city with that madman and I'm worried what he would do to her"

Loras sighed "Mother always said that Margaery was a skilled woman" he stated "grandmother taught her how to look after herself so she should be fine"

Garlen looked at the city and hoped that his brother was right about their sister

North of the city:

Martin Baratheon led his army towards the city. He road on his horse alongside Randyll Tarly, General Tullius and his sister. Soon they reach the city and the Battle would begin. Martin knew that even though he had more men, the city walls had never been breached and this was going to be a tough fight, but once the battle was over, this Civil War would be over and then Martin would become King and be the King that Westeros needed, especially if the rumours about what was going beyond the Wall were true.

"This is it brother" Alessia stated "The final battle"

"Yeah" Martin agreed "This battle will decide who the King of the Seven Kingdoms will be. Hopefully we can get Joffrey off the throne"

Alessia looked at him "I know that you wouldn't hurt Tommen or our mother even after what she did" he stated "But what will happen to Joffrey?"

"He will have a trial" Martin stated "And his fate will be decided there." Martin then watched as his five pet dragons began flying around but not getting too close to the city.

Inside the city:

The battle was approaching and the soldiers in the city needed a moral boost. Their way was drinking in a tavern and having a few pretty wenches serving them who would also strip for them as a few girls were naked in front of them. Some of the soldiers were singing a song that was familiar to the Lannister Soldiers. The Rains of Castamere, everyone had probably heard of this song since it was famous and used as a warning to those who would defy House Lannister. Tyrion's sellsword friend Bronn was also in the tavern with a wench sitting on his lap.

"And so he spoke" Bronn sang with everyone "That lord of Castamere, but now the rains weep over his halls with no one there to hear. Yes now the rains weep over his halls and not a soul to hear." Bronn stopped singing and held his tankard of ale in the air "To the boys!"

Everyone began cheering "Lannisters!"

Then one soldier looked at him "Where did you learn the Lannister song?" he asked

"Drunk Lannisters" Bronn replied which made everyone laugh

"You have a pretty voice" the wench sitting on Bronn's lap stated

"Thank you very much" Bronn stated

"And I like your nose" the girl added tapping it "How many times you broke it"

Bronn though for a moment as he started to undo the girl's clothing straps "The first time, I was five, my mom snapped me with an iron poker" at the girl's gasp, Bronn added "She wasn't aiming for me; she was going for my little brother. Now he was a real pest. Second time, I was nine; I got into a fight with a few older boys. They won. And the third time..." then he finished undoing the straps and the girl's dress fell from her shoulders and Bronn could admire the girl's body "Na, you don't want to hear about the third time"

Bronn leaned back in his chair as the girl leaned forward and kissed Bronn's nose "Poor nose"

Bronn chuckled "Don't feel sorry for him, he'll be halfway up your arse before the night is out" everyone laughed at that but then fell silent when they saw a big muscular man with a thick red beard and savage look entered and ordered some ale. They recognised him as Bloodbeard, the commander of the Company of the Cat and he scared a lot of people because he had a murderous look on his face "Welcome friends" Bronn greeted "This round's on me" Bloodbeard was silent as he forced some people from their table and sat down with two of his best men. Bronn turned back to the girl "I don't think he likes me" he whispered to her

Bloodbeard just drank some wine from a goblet and glared at Bronn "You think you're a hard man?" he spat

Bronn chuckled "I know it" he smirked which made the other soldiers laugh as well "It's warm in here, we've got beautiful woman and warm brown ale, plenty for everyone and all you want is to put one of us in the cold hard ground"

Bloodbeard spat on the floor "Oh there's woman in the ground, I put some there myself. And I've seen more beautiful woman in the Pleasure Houses of Lys and in Volantis. And these men are no fighters; they're just puny boys and are no better than those puny greybeards in rags that I've seen in the Windblown"

Bronn knew that he was talking about the Windblown sellsword company, one of the few honourable sellsword companies out there "I've got a friend who fights for them. Said that they were some of the best fighters around. You just don't like them because you fought them. You like fucking and drinking"

"And singing" Bloodbeard hissed "But killing, killing is the one thing you love; you're just like me, a sellsword only smaller

"And quicker" Bronn smirked "Being smaller allows me to move faster"

Bloodbeard snarled "You're lord Imp's going to miss you."

Bronn put his goblet down and got the girl off his lap and stood up "Aye, I expect he will someday" he stood near Bloodbeard and was ready to pull out a dagger that he had but was then interrupted by the sounds of the bells which signalled that the enemy was approaching. The Lannister men got up from their seats and started heading out to the Western part of the city where they had been ordered at the Lion Gate while Bloodbeard took his men to the southern part of the city towards the Mud Gate"

In the Red Keep:

The Master of Whisperers Varys stood by a window as he watched over the city. Tyrion Lannister and his squire Podrick Payne were in the room as Podrick helped Tyrion into his armour "I've always hated the bells" Varys stated "They ring for horror, a dead King, a city under siege."

"A wedding" Tyrion added

"Exactly" Varys sighed and he looked to see Tyrion standing on a table with his breastplate on while Podrick was fasting the straps "Podrick is that it?"

"Is that it?" Tyrion questioned "Nice touch. As if you don't know the name of every boy in town"

"I'm not entirely sure what you're suggesting" Varys stated

"I'm entirely sure you're entirely sure what I'm suggesting" Tyrion snorted

Varys looked at him "Do you trust him?" he asked referring to Podrick

Tyrion looked at Podrick and then back at Varys "Oddly enough I do" he stated

"Good" Varys claimed and then he placed a piece of parchment on the table as Tyrion got down and unfolded it to reveal a map of King's Landing and showing the secret tunnels built into the city which had been ordered by King Meagor the Cruel who then killed all the workers to keep them secret

Tyrion looked at the map and how many tunnels there are "There must be 20 miles of tunnels beneath the city"

"Closer to 50" Varys claimed "The Targaryens built this city to withstand a siege and to provide escape if necessary. Though some of the tunnels may be caved in, these have not been used in a long time."

"I'm not escaping" Tyrion claimed as Podrick helped place the Paldrons onto his shoulders "Strangely enough I am the captain of this ship and if the ship goes down then I go down with it"

"That is good to hear" Varys claimed "Though I'm sure many captains say the same while their ship is afloat. You look well suited for battle"

"Well I'm not" Tyrion snorted

"Well I wonder what the future holds for us" Varys claimed "My little birds tell us that Martin Baratheon has been blessed with some kind of ancient magic and has dragons of his own. The people love him and while I hate magic, I see the realm being great under him. I know that you secretly support him along with your father. I do too as I serve no one but the realm. Joffrey is clearly unstable and will bring bloodshed so I hope that this war ends today with the right ruler. And I believe you are the only man who can help him"

Tyrion looked at him as Podrick finished placing his armour on him and then he handed him a large axe

Outside the City:

The Bells of the city could be heard at all three of the army camps. On Stannis' fleet, Davos and his son Mathos heard the bells which made Mathos smile "They're welcoming the new King" he stated

Davos shook his head "I've never known those bells to mean surrender." He turned to the crew on the Black Bertha "If they want to play music with us, then let's play, Drums"

Mathos looked at the crew "DRUMS!" he yelled out and then on each ship in the fleet, drums started to be played with signalled the soldiers to get into position and prepare for battle.

Towards the rear of the fleet, Stannis and Travis stood on their ships and watched as their ships sailed forward and in the distance, they could make out the remaining ships of King's Landing led by the Lionstar sailing towards them ready for battle.

...

Near the Lion Gate, Loras and Garlen Tyrell had divided their army into two. Loras would lead an attack on the King's Gate with half their force while Garlen would lead the attack on the Lion Gate. Loras may be a skilled swordsman but not the best battle leader which was why he had several other great warriors with him. The Lion Gate was where Tywin was leading his army so it was where he would defect to Martin's side if he kept his word. At the sound of the bells, they knew that it was time for the attack and so they signalled their men.

...

Towards the North of the city, Martin who had the largest army had split his force into three armies Tullius had the Fifth and Sixth Legions and would attack the Dragon Gate, Randyll would attack the Old Gate with his force of Tarly men along with the newly completed Seventh Legion, the Seventh Legion had only recently been finished and were untrained for battle so Martin had decided that they would fight here since the fighting would be thinner. Martin himself would lead the army at the Gate of the Gods with the First and Second Legions. This Gate was right between where the Lannisters and Tyrells had their armies so he would face soldiers from both. The Eight Legion still wasn't complete but would most likely be ready shortly after the war was over, the Third Legion were in the Westerlands while the Fourth Legion were in the Vale helping to restore order after the defeat of Lysa and Petyr at the Eyrie.

At the sound of the bells, it was time so he turned to him men. Only the Iron Gate would not be attacked but there was no escape as the escape out of that gate was blocked by Tullius' army at the Dragon Gate and Stannis' fleet in the Blackwater

"Men of the Legions" he called out "Today is the Battle who will decide who is King of the Seven Kingdoms. Right here stands our prize; the Capital city of King's Landing. Sitting on the Iron Throne is my brother Joffrey who in only a short rule has brought nothing but misery to the realm. We have lost good men and we will lose more, but we will lose even more if Joffrey remains on the throne, he allows his men to rape and murder innocent people including children. He is clearly unfit to rule. Are you with me men, are we going to fight and end the rule of my brother" All of his men began cheering Martin's name and then he ordered his men to prepare for battle.

Red Keep:

Tyrion walked through the Throne Room with Bronn and Podrick making sure no one heard them "And remember, the battle will be big so we must be ready for anything." He said to them

Bronn then looked at Tyrion's Axe "Do you even know how to use that?" he asked

"Well I chopped wood once" Tyrion remarked but then he revealed that it was a joke "No actually; I watched my brother chopping wood"

Bronn smiled "I saw you beat a man with a shield" he remarked "You'll be unstoppable with an axe." He then held onto Tyrion's arm "Don't get killed"

"Nor you my friend" Tyrion replied

Bronn chuckled "Oh are we friends now?"

"Of course we are" Tyrion claimed "Just because I pay you for your services doesn't diminish our friendship."

"Enhances it really" Bronn stated

"Enhances?" Tyrion questioned "Fancy word for a sellsword"

Bronn laughed "I've been spending time with fancy folk" he said and then he walked away and walked past Lady Margaery and Shae, in order to keep up appearances, Shae had been presented as a servant who had been chatting with Margaery, the two talked about Shae's travels in Essos before she came to Westeros. Bronn gave a small bow to them as he walked by.

Tyrion handed his axe to Podrick and then walked down to the two of them "Lady Margaery and... Sheila" he said Shae's name on purpose to make it look like he didn't know her

"Shae" Shae corrected though she knew that Tyrion had done it to prevent anyone noticing that the two were together

"Shae yes" Tyrion spoke "Surely my sister has asked you to join the other highborn ladies in Maegor's Holdfast"

"She has my lord" Margaery stated "But King Joffrey, my future husband, has sent for me to see him off for the battle"

And then just as Margaery finished saying that, King Joffrey walked in. He was dressed in the finest armour which had been made specifically for him. His remaining Kingsguard stood next to him, Meryn Trant, Mandon Moore and Ser Osmund Kettleblack. They were the only three members that Joffrey had left since Arys Oakheart had been sent to Dorne with Myrcella, Jaime was still a captive, Sandor had turned traitor and Lothor Brune had been killed in the riots. "Margaery" Joffrey called as he stepped into the room which made Tyrion and the ladies looks at him. Joffrey's pet Jaguar Hearteater walked alongside him and he looked like he was out for blood

"Always has been a great romantic my nephew" Tyrion said

"Margaery come here" Joffrey called again and then Margaery walked over to him and Tyrion looked at Shae "Stay safe my lady" he whispered to her

"And you my lion" Shae said and then Tyrion walked away along with Podrick

"I will pray for your safe return my king" Margaery said to him "And for my father and Lord Tywin"

Joffrey smiled at her "We are to be married soon" he said "Your future husband rides off for battle, you should see him off with a kiss" he then pulled out his new sword that had been forged for him "My new blade, I named it Heartblade after my Jaguar. It will feel the heart of my traitor brother along with my traitor uncle Stannis. Kiss it"

Margaery knelt down and then kissed the blade of the sword "Will you slay them yourself"

Joffrey scoffed "If they are foolish enough to come near my, I will slay them both"

Margaery wasn't convinced, she knew that Joffrey was a poor fighter "Then I prey to the Seven that you are Victorious, now I must go, your mother has asked to see me in Maegor's holdfast." She then walked away with Shae while Joffrey walked off with his men.

Near the Mud Gate:

Joffrey walked with his Kingsguard towards the walls above the River Gate better known as the Mud Gate, this would be the gate where there would be less fighting as Stannis would have to get through the remaining fleet. Lancel Lannister had joined with them. At the Mud Gate, a small force of defenders had gathered along with the Company of the Cat along with the other sellsword companies. Joffrey walked up the walls where Tyrion was standing looking over the walls. Joffrey, Lancel, Bloodbeard and Mandon Moore stood behind them as they watched Stannis' fleet sailing towards the much smaller Lannister fleet. The force at the Mud Gate was made up of the Sellsword companies along with the City Watch. Commander Andens was there along with the Commander of the Mud Gate Ser Jacelyn Bywater.

"Our fleet won't last long against that" Lancel shouted in worry

"But the land is too small for catapults" Tyrion stated as he looked at them "That's why the fighting will be less intense than at the other areas. We don't really have a plan since we used up most of the Wildfire at Anvil. So we just have to hold them off. I'm most worried about a Battering Ram because that will bring the door down in minutes."

"My men are ready for a fight" Bloodbeard hissed "They can't wait to be fighting again"

Tyrion said nothing but knew that what Bloodbeard was thinking was a good way to get killed. Everyone just watched as Stannis' fleet sailed closer and closer

At the Lion Gate:

Tywin Lannister stood on the walls at the Lion Gate along with Kevan Lannister. Ser Addam Marbrand was commanding the force at the King's Gate where Loras was leading the army. In order not to make the Tyrell force get conflicted, Tywin had ordered Mace Tyrell to command the Northern part of the city so that they wouldn't be fighting Garlen and Loras' forces. Tywin watched as the Tyrell army set up catapults and Scorpion Crossbows ready for battle. Tywin looked at his brother "Now it is time to reveal our true loyalties" he said to him "During the Battle when I order you to lead the men outside, you must turn on us and make it look like you're defecting."

"Understood brother" Kevan stated and then he took his brother hand "Good luck" and then Kevan walked down the stairs to take command of the Lannister force leaving Tywin to look over the Battlefield.

At the Old Gate:

Lord Mace Tyrell stood on the battlements in the most expensive and fanciest armour that money could buy. His armour was studied with golden roses but everyone knew that Lord Tyrell was a fool. Mance commandeered the army at the Old Gate while his friend Mathias Rowan commanded the army at the Dragon Gate. Tyrellius Logellus and Ulrich Leland were at the Gate of the Gods. Lord Tyrell watched as Lord Randyll Tarly got his army ready, Lord Tyrell was ready to show what happens to traitors in the Reach, Lord Tarly had turned on their liege lords and now they would pay the price. Mace knew that this was the time to prove that he was the man who won the Battle of Ashford; everyone always claimed that Lord Tarly had won the battle but it was he who lead the armies and then nearly starved Storm's End. He would prove today that he was the better commander of the Reach.

The Doomcrag, Rivenspire:

In the highest mountain of Rivenspire was the old ruin known as the Doomcrag. This once great tower was home to an Ancient Aylied Artefact known as the Light of Life, a beacon which helped plants grow and heal illnesses. But during a war between the Aylieds and the original inhabitants of the area, the relic became tainted and became the Lightless Remnant, a beacon of death.

This relic had been the one that Wylon Montclair had tried to use to heal his sick wife but had corrupted him instead when he had been tricked. Now Montclair himself stood in the tower with Raven Camoran standing next to him.

"They will soon be upon us" Montclair said to him

"Yes" Raven smirked "But we have leverage" he then walked over to a stand where Daenerys' three dragons were chained up "Dorea did her part and soon we will have more leverage to use against them"

They soon heard a crash which made Montclair smirk "It seems that our friends are already in the Bone Chamber" he stated "I think I will go pay them a little visit"

Meanwhile in the lower levels:

Daenerys Targaryen was frantic as she hurried though the corridors. Ever since her dragons had been kidnapped, she had been scared for them; she cared for them like they were her children. It was then that she came into a large chamber that was filled with piles of bones. Then Farengar and Jorah came in behind her

"Khaleesi, slow down" Jorah called

"I can't" Daenerys cried "My dragons are in danger; I need to get to them"

"Charging ahead is a good way to get yourself killed" Farengar hissed "We are in a dark place and who knows what Montclair has in store for us"

Daenerys sighed as she knew that Farengar was right, but that still didn't stop her from worrying.

Then Count Verandis Ravenwatch entered with his friend Gwendis "You must do exactly as I taught you" he said to Gwendis "The power of the remnant will tempt you, you must be strong enough to resist that lure"

"I'm ready for this" Gwendis stated "You know that, stop treating me like I'm a novice Verandis, I won't fail you, and I won't let you down"

"You have never disappointed me Gwendis" Verandis stated "But the Remnant is more powerful than you can ever imagine, be on your guard"

It was then that Baron Dorell and Countess Tamrith entered with some of their men. Damien had stayed outside with Rakharo as Verandis said it was too dangerous to bring too many into the Doomcrag

"This is where it all began" Verandis stated "This place is where Lleraya died and Montclair became corrupted"

Gwendis looked around "Where are Montclair's forces?" she questioned "I thought we were supposed to fight off an army of Bloodfiends"

Farengar looked around "I have a bad feeling about this" he said "I think he must be waiting for us to make a mistake"

"Enough of this" Dorell snapped "Soldiers spread out secure the chamber"

"This is it" Tamrith added "The light shines on us this day"

Verandis snorted "There is no light here Countess" he stated "Only Darkness and Death"

Then there was a big flash of red light in the middle of the room "Arkay protect us, what is that" Tamrith yelled as a transparent figure walked out. The man was balding and wore thick leather armour. Daenerys realised that this was Wylon Montclair himself.

"That must be Montclair himself" she hissed

"Soldiers, be ready" Dorell ordered

The figure then laughed as the soldiers surrounded him "Welcome friends" he stated "As a good guest, I see that you have brought me gifts, allow me to grant them my blessing" It was then that the light spread on to the soldiers that had come along. They all started screaming as they dropped their weapons and clawing at their heads. Then they all turned around and Daenerys gasped when they looked half dead and their eyes were glowing red.

"Oh no!" Farengar gasped "He's turned our men into Bloodfiends"

Then the newly made Bloodfiends attacked them and started swiping at people with their claws, this was a difficult fight for them as these men had just been fighting for them and now they were fighting against them. Farengar, Verandis and Tamrith fought them with magic while Jorah, Dorell and Daenerys used swords against them while Gwendis used her axes. It took a while but soon all the Bloodfiends had been defeated.

When it was over, Verandis looked at Montclair "Wylon please, end this madness now, the Remnant has taken control of you, let me help you, I can save you"

"Save me!" Wylon spat "You've taken everything from me, my wife and my daughter. We all loved you Verandis and you betrayed us"

"No I didn't" Verandis protested "I had no idea that the Remnant would do that"

Wylon glared at him "This power is all I have left!" he spat "Now let me show you what it can do" the red beams spread into the piles of bones and then to Daenerys' horror, two massive monsters made from bones appeared.

"Are those giant skeletons?" Gwendis questioned

"Great!" Farengar groaned "Bone Colossus"

The two newly names creatures known as Bone Colossus were made from bones fused together. They were taller than two people put on top of each other and the piles of bones acted like armour. They were also able to bring in reinforcements as they could summon more undead skeletons and while these skeletons were weaker, they could explode as Jorah found out when he was catapulted across the room when one exploded. Baron Dorell was also bashed to the ground by a Colossus and had to be healed by Tamrith.

Daenerys, Farengar, Verandis and Gwendis then ended up fighting one of them while Jorah, Dorell and Tamrith had to fight the other Colossus. Jorah was eventually able to cut the arm off his colossus and then Dorell cut the creature at the spine causing it to fall apart. Verandis and Gwendis were eventually able to weaken their colossus which was then blown apart by a fireball spell used by Farengar.

With the destruction of the Colossus, Dorell narrowed his eyes at Montclair "Come out and face us you coward!" he snarled "You can't hide from us forever"

Verandis made one last attempt to stop Wylon "Wylon please" he begged "End this madness, give up this power and we can find a way to free you from this power and end this madness."

"Why would I give up this power?" Wylon hissed "It has made me more powerful than I ever imagined, and soon with help from the Mythic Dawn, I will unleash a new age on this world. Rivenspire will just be the first, soon all of this land will face the power of the Mythic Dawn, Daggerfall, Wayrest, Sentinel, all of them will fall under our command and then we will take over the world"

"The Mythic Dawn?" Dorell snorted "That cult was whipped out thousands of years ago"

Wylon smirked "They have since made a comeback, did you really think that the death of Mankar was the end, he found a way to cheat death and now he has returned. He may not be at his full power but with help from the Remnant, the Dawn will rise again"

"Not if we stop you!" Daenerys hissed "That cult destroyed the people I made a home with"

Wylon laughed "You my dear are someone the Dawn wants dead, your brother wanted that and soon we will deliver your dragons to her and you will get to watch as he uses them for his plans. But first, let me show you what else I can do with the power of the Remnant" then he unleashed more power from himself and Daenerys watched in horror as Dorell, Tamrith, Gwendis and Jorah were engulfed in red light and floated in the air.

"Gwendis!" Verandis yelled "Wylon leave them alone"

Wylon laughed "Now Verandis, you will suffer what I suffered, I will take everything from you including your friends, with the power of the Remnant, I will make your precious Gwendis my queen and your lords as my thralls, that warrior will be my bodyguard, now I must be off and come and find me at the top of the Doomcrag" then he vanished along with the pillars of light and those in them were gone as well

"Jorah!" Farengar and Daenerys gasped when he vanished as well and Farengar looked at Verandis "Where did he take them?"

Verandis sighed "It was a mistake to bring so many here" he sighed "He has imprisoned them at the top of the Doomcrag. Montclair has never left that room since all this began. I hoped to reason with him but there is no way I can do that now. We must make our way to the Doomcrag and fast before Montclair corrupts them, if he does then there won't be much we can do to save them"

"Well let's get going them" Daenerys sighed "I can't let him hurt Jorah after he has protected me"

Daenerys along with Farengar and Verandis they went up the stairs and towards the next level of the Doomcrag.

Westeros: Red Keep:

With the Battle outside the city of King's Landing, Queen mother Cersei had gone to a safe room in the Red Keep with many other woman of the Red Keep which included Lady Tanda Stokeworth and her two daughters Falyse and Lollys. Many servants of King's Landing were also in the safe room and some had young children such as the baby Ermesande Hayford. Lady Margaery Tyrell was also in the room with that new servant Shae along with members from the Tyrell Household including three of Margaery's cousins, Megga, Alla and Elinor Tyrell.

Cersei walked into the safe room with her youngest child Tommen at her side along with Ser Ilyn Payne, the King's Justice and narrowed her eyes at the ladies in particular Lady Margaery who was chatting with Shae and her cousins.

"My father says that I have to stay here for my own safety" she said quietly "But I get the feeling that the queen hates me."

"It's because you're going to take her power away" Alla whispered

"Once you marry Joffrey you'll be queen and Cersei will lose her power" Megga added

"Quiet!" Elinor hissed "She's here now. I am worried about the battle, my betrothed Alyn Ambrose is out there fighting"

"Well she hates just about everyone" Shae stated "She's jealous of them"

Margaery was about to say something but she was interrupted by Cersei calling her over "Lady Margaery, come here" she called and Margaery walked over "I wondered where our little golden rose had gone" Cersei did not like Margaery at all, she was a threat to Cersei's power and since Joffrey was not around, she was free to torment her as much as she like. Margaery was smart and would not fall for her taunts like Sansa would have. Cersei then looked at a servant "Pour Lady Margaery some wine"

Margaery looked at her "That's a kind offer your Grace" she said "But I'm not thirsty"

"So" Cersei scoffed "I didn't offer you water" she handed Margaery a goblet filled with wine.

Margaery took the goblet and then looked at Ser Ilyn "Why is he here?" she asked "I thought that all the fighters were to be fighting on the Walls?"

Cersei smirked "Ser Ilyn is a better Headsman than he is a sword fighter" she stated "We also can't be left undefended like Elia Martell was during the Sack of King's Landing. He's here to protect us. When the axes smash down those doors you may be glad to have him"

In truth, Margaery knew that Prince Martin and his lords would not sack the city if they won, Martin was not that type of man and her brothers were fighting alongside him. But she didn't say that out loud.

Cersei then continued "We may have guards but they have been paid, when the city falls they will be the first ones to flee. And he is still the King's Justice so he has a job to do here." Then as she finished one of the Lannister Guards walked into the room.

The man bowed in front of the queen and then spoke to her "The men caught a groom and two maids trying to sneak away with a stolen horse and some gold cups"

Cersei smirked and saw it as an opportunity to show Margaery who was in power in the room "Our first traitors of the battle" she sneered "Have Ser Ilyn see to them, place their heads on spikes outside the stables as a warning"

"As you command" the soldier said and then he walked away.

Margaery looked at her "Don't you think that's a bit harsh?" she questioned "I mean they were only scared"

Cersei sneered "Traitors must be dealt with" she stated "A warning must be sent to those who would desert us, the only way to keep the smallfolk in line is to make sure that they fear you more than they do the enemy, that way they won't flock to their side to save themselves. Remember that when you become queen, my father sent a message out when he destroyed Houses Reyne and Tarbeck." She then held out the goblet to a servant "More wine"

Margaery hoped that this battle would be over soon, she was secretly preying that her brothers along with Stannis Baratheon and Martin won this battle. She had always wanted to be queen but Joffrey was not someone she would like to be married to. He was bloodthirsty and cruel and if they were married, she saw that Joffrey would only use her for his own pleasure which would mean that she would be raped and beaten daily. So she secretly hoped that Joffrey would lose this battle.

Blackwater Bay:

Blackwater Bay was a large bay area which was where the Crownlands surrounded the water. The capital of King's Landing stood north of the bay where the Blackwater Rush River flowed into the bay. The Blackwater Rush is one of the major rivers of Westeros and the main one ran from the Riverlands near Stoney Sept and is later joined by two tributaries, one east from Stoney Sept and the other from the God's Eye Lake. The waters were known to be wicked and treacherous.

The Bay was the main water route to King's Landing and this was where Stannis was sailing towards King's Landing. His fleet which he led from his Flagship, the Fury, was joined by Travis Thresh's fleet led by the Justice along with the remains of the Resistance fleet led by the King Robert's Hammer, former King Robert's personal ship. Facing them were the remains of the Lannister fleet led by the Lionstar along with part of the Redwyne Fleet led by the Arbour Queen. But overall, Joffrey's fleet was outnumbered and the best that they could do was hold off Stannis. As soon as the fleets were close enough, both fleets had begun firing at each other, Scorpion bolts fired from the decks along with catapults as the two fleets engaged each other. Surprisingly, it was the Lannisters who claimed the first ship when flaming pitch caused one of Stannis' ships, the Dragonsbane, to catch fire and then sink though most of her crew were transferred to another ship. Another one of Stannis' ships, the Stag of the Sea managed to split one of the Redwyne ships in two but was later set on fire and boarded and so the Fury sank her to prevent her capture. The Dog's Nose was also sank after catching fire. But despite these loses, Stannis' fleet was still more powerful. The strength of the King Robert's Hammer was stronger than any other ship in any of the fleets and was easily able to destroy a number of Joffrey's ships including the Prince Aemon. The Justice was able to force the Arbour Queen to surrender and destroy most of the Redwyne fleet with help from the other ships. But the overall victory for Stannis came when the Fury with help from King Robert's Hammer destroyed the Seaswift and then captured the Lionstar. With the capture of the flagship, the remaining ships surrendered which meant that Stannis was ready to attack the Mud Gate now.

"It's time" Stannis said to his commander "Get the men ready to attack. We will take loses from the archers but we must take this gate." The commander nodded and Stannis turned to his men "Men of the Stormlands" he shouted "Years ago you people fought for my brother in his rebellion against the Mad King. You fought bravely at the Battle of Summerhall and refused to surrender after our defeat at Ashford. We held strong during the Siege of Storm's End and defeated the Targaryen army at the Trident, now we fight again against a different Tyrant, our Rightful King fights with his royal army to take the Northern walls of this city, now we must do our part. Prince Martin Baratheon is the only trueborn son of my brother, our former King. Now he fights for the crown and we must do our part. Our enemy is behind those walls, now let's go kill them, are you with me?"

The men cheered in response and Stannis knew that it was time to do his part for the Battle.

...

At the Gate of the Gods, Martin watched his Legion army prepared to march towards the gate with a battering ram. To minimise loses, his army formed a tortoise formation around the battering ram with the heavy warriors forming a shield wall. Another shield wall was formed in front of the infantry to make a long wall and with the use of many shields; the front of the army was shielded from archers though the ones at the rear wouldn't be as lucky. The Legion archers would be firing arrow after arrow at the walls to distract the defenders which the army marched forward with the ladders. Thanks to the Legion's training, they were able to bring small catapults called Spitfires and Mangonels, these would launch small rocks which would damage the smalls but not destroy them as Martin didn't want to damage the walls of the city too much. Tullius and Randyll had the same to do at their gates

"It's time" Martin called out to his army "We must take the city and end the rule of my brother, they may have the walls but we are better trained, now are you with me?" the men cheered "Now let's do this!"

The legion armies at both the Old Gate and the Gate of the Gods began to march forward as archers from the city walls began to fire arrows at them. At the Dragon Gate, Randyll looked as his force of Tarly men marched forward assisted by Seventh Legion. Randyll then looked at his son Dickon. After Samwell had joined the order of the Blades to become a Loremaster, it meant that he would give up his inheritance as the heir to Horn Hill. Randyll was conflicted about his son, the Tarly's were natural warriors and commanders but Samwell was not, he always wanted his heir to carry on this tradition but Samwell was not the man to do that. Randyll could not deny that his son was smart and clever but was not a warrior. He had thought about having him join the Night's Watch but Martin had convinced him not to waste his son's potential and had taken Samwell as a member of the Blades where he could still be useful. Now Dickon was his new heir and unlike Sam, he was a warrior and one day he would lead House Tarly. Now it was time for a battle and Randyll decided that it was time for Dickon to lead his first fight. Dickon had fought at the Battle of Dragon Bridge and the Battle near Parchments but he had been fighting alongside his father in those battles. Now Randyll decided to have his son lead his first men and he had the perfect idea for him.

"Dickon, come here" Randyll ordered and Dickon came over to him "I'm giving you command of half my men, I will lead the attack with the rest of my men along with the Legion, you will take the other half and attack the Iron Gate"

"The Iron gate father?" Dickon questioned

Randyll smiled "They know that we're not attacking that gate so they've pulled out most of the men guarding it to fight at the other gates. You will lead a surprise attack and capture the Iron Gate but you will go no further. Do you understand?"

"Yes father" Dickon replied "I do" and then his father grasped his hand

"Be careful son" he stated "And I'm sure you will do me proud" then Dickon smiled as he walked away to lead his men on the mission.

...

West if King's Landing, Garlen and Loras' army got into position. Like the other armies, they too had ladders and Battering rams but they had something else, since they came through the Kingswood, there was plenty of wood in order to build siege towers. These towers would be rolled towards the walls and then they would provide an easier way to get over the walls instead of ladders which could easily be knocked down. As soon as the orders were given, the armies then began marching towards the King's Gate and the Lion Gate.

Lannisport: Westerlands:

The Northern Army had laid siege to the city of Lannisport in the Westerlands. This city had once been just a small fishing village but had since become a large trading city, though not as large as King's Landing or Oldtown. Lannisport imported goods from all over Westeros and thanks to the Lannister's gold, the town became rich with merchants coming to trade and many people claimed that the city was cleaner than King's Landing since there were no areas like Flea Bottom that were filled with beggars and homeless people. But the city was very close to the Iron Islands which made it a target for the Ironmen to raid with the city being burnt three times and raided dozens of times over the years. One of these was during the Dance of the Dragons when Dalton Greyjoy burnt the Lannister fleet and sacked the city. Lannisport was also one of the city's hit hardest during the Great Spring Sickness which killed many people in the city. But despite this, Lannisport was a popular place for tournaments to be held such as the Tournament to celebrate the birth of Prince Viserys and the tournament to celebrate the end of the Greyjoy rebellion.

The Greyjoy had actually made it easier for the Northern army to attack Lannisport, the first battle of the Greyjoy Rebellion had been the Burning of the Lannister Fleet and the fleet still had not fully recovered from the battle so the small Northern Force from Kayce had managed to capture the remaining ships and blockade the harbour while the rest of the army attacked from the walls. All throughout the battle, catapults fired at the walls and archers attacked from both sides, the fleet still couldn't land as there was a massive army in the city and they couldn't attack until the walls had been breached.

Jeyne Westerling was in a Healer's tent working with several other healers. She was busy helping some of the injured men who had been injured by the arrows. Jeyne was quite shy but she felt comfortable around Robb Stark. She then sighed, part of her wished that the two of them could be together but Robb was betrothed to a daughter of House Frey which was one of the demands to cross at the Twins. But the Frey army hadn't been taking this war seriously ever since the death of Stevron Frey after Oxcross, their soldiers hadn't been fighting much and they had been causing trouble with the Westerling allies.

Then she heard someone rushing into the tent and Jeyne turned to see Robb Stark's squire Olyvar Frey who was gasping for breath "Lady Jeyne" he stated "You're needed at Lord Stark's tent, lord Stark asked for you specifically"

Jeyne got up and went with Olyvar, she was confused as to why Robb had asked to see her at the tent, he was meant to be leading the soldiers into battle. When they entered Robb's tent, Jeyne gasped in shock, Robb Stark was lying on the red groaning in pain with a bleeding leg. His top men Rickard Karstark and Greatjon Umber were next to him.

"Lucky shot by an arrow in his leg" Karstark stated

"Brave man" Greatjon added "He refused to leave until he nearly collapsed from the attack."

Jeyne got out some medical supplies and knelt next to Robb, she lifted his trouser leg to reveal the wound and she gasped in horror that the wound was worse than it looked "You stupid man" she hissed "You should have had this looked at straight away, there's still some arrow tip in the wound, this could have gotten infected and then you could have lost the leg" she sighed as he got out some cloth "Bite down on this, this is going to hurt, I'm going to have to remove the arrow tip and then use boiling wine to clean the wound before I can stitch it back up" Robb bit down on the cloth hard and then Jeyne got a small tool from her bag and then stuck it slowly into the wound. Robb's muffled screams could be heard through the cloth until Jeyne brought the tool out and sure enough, the tip from an arrow head was on the tool which was covered in blood. Jeyne placed them to the side and then poured some boiling wine from a bottle onto the wound which she then bandaged up "You'll just need to leave it for a while until the bleeding stops"

Robb removed the cloth "Thank you Jeyne" then he looked at Greatjon and Karstark "Leave us, I would like to speak with Jeyne alone, I need you to lead the men while I'm recovering" the two lords got up and then left leaving Jeyne alone with Robb who smiled at each other "You're right you know" Robb smirked "I am stupid"

"Why did you not have that checked out?" Jeyne asked

"Because I was too stubborn" Robb replied "And distracted, I just couldn't stop thinking"

"About what?" Jeyne asked

Robb brought a hand to Jeyne's face and stroked her cheek "You" he replied "I just couldn't stop thinking about you" Jeyne smiled but then gasped when Robb took the back of her head and brought her face closer and pressed his lips against hers. They kept their lips locked together before Jeyne pushed herself away.

"We shouldn't be doing this" she sighed "You're promised to a daughter of House Frey"

Robb smiled and grasped her hand "I've decided that I don't want to marry a girl from House Frey, they're not even as powerful as you anymore" that was true as Martin had agreed to return some of the Lands to the Westerlings as a reward for their service to him so now they were a powerful house again though it might still take some time before they were at the same status that they were before. Robb and Jeyne then locked their lips together again and then Robb began fiddling with the straps on the back of Jeyne's dress. Jeyne didn't stop him and soon the top of her dress fell from her shoulders and revealed her breasts to Robb. Robb stared at them for a second before he began to massage them. Jeyne moaned in pleasure and then Robb moved to the side and pulled Jeyne onto the bed. Jeyne removed Robb's shirt and trousers and then they began feeling each other up, the tent was full of moans from the two of them throughout the hours until the two of them couldn't go one anymore and fell asleep in each other's arms.

King's Landing: Red Keep

Cersei held her hand out for another glass of wine. Robert liked to drink a lot but Cersei liked strong wines. Despite her hatred for the Reach due to them thinking they were better than her, Cersei liked Golden Arbour wine while Robert had been fond of strong Dornish wine. She looked over and narrowed her eyes at Margaery Tyrell who was currently holding hands with several other ladies with her eyes closed. Cersei had a deep hatred for the Tyrell family as they wanted to have Margaery as the queen and if Margaery did become queen, she would be more powerful than her since she was younger and more beautiful and also more popular with the smallfolk. She could see that Margaery was a bit scared of Joffrey and she liked to show her that she had the power, not Margaery.

"Margaery" she called "Come here little rose"

Margaery came over and curtsied a bit "Your Grace"

Cersei smirked "What are you doing?" she asked

"Praying" Margaery answered "For the Gods to have mercy on us, to protect us from evil when it comes to take us. Before the Sept of Baelor was built, the headquarters of the Faith was the Starey Sept in Oldtown. At Highgarden I went to the Sept daily to pray to the Seven."

"And did they ever answer your calls?" Cersei sneered "When my mother died giving birth to my little monster of a brother, I prayed so hard to the Gods. I thought that they would grant me mercy and bring my mother back to life. I was four years old, young and foolish. Father found me and told me that I was being a fool and that my mother was gone and the Gods would never bring her back"

"Your father doesn't believe in the Gods?" Margaery asked

"Oh he believes in them" Cersei sneered "He just doesn't like them much, they don't care for us at all, and that's why they're gods. Of course Martin believes in his gods, the Nine Divines, an old but dying Religion, though even I admit, they seem better than the Seven, I once went to a small temple in Lannisport when I was a child, I felt amazed at what I saw, the priests there was kind and helped people when they needed it. One Priestess even gave me a small amulet My Septa told me to get rid of it but I kept it hidden, it gave me comfort."

Margaery was amazed, queen Cersei secretly believed more in the Nine Divines than in the Seven. That would cause a scandal with the Faith if it was discovered, even Margaery knew that Martin would have a problem with the Faith when he became King but she secretly believed that Martin would come up with a plan to sort that out.

Cersei then snorted "I should have been born a man" she commented "I would rather put up with 1000 swords than sit in here with this flock of frightened hens"

"You asked them to come here" Margaery stated

"It was expected of me as it would be of you when you become Joffrey's queen" Cersei hissed "If my father and our allies army succeed then these hens will go back to their husbands cocks and see this as a bad dream. When Jaime and I were young we looked so much alike. Even our father couldn't tell us apart, I couldn't understand why we were treated so differently. Jaime was taught to fight with sword, lance and mace while I was taught to smile, sing, dance and please, he was heir to Casterly Rock while I was sold to a stranger like a horse to be ridden when he liked, I may have been queen like you always wanted to be but I never had any power and I doubt you will"

Margaery looked at her, she had always wanted to be queen but Cersei was saying that when she was Robert's Queen, she never had any power and now she had a question "If the city should fall, what will happen to these women?" Margaery asked

Cersei smirked "The last time this city fell was at the End of my former husband's rebellion. My father did what he could to end the war and get into the good graces of my husband. He may have been a cruel man but he hated the sack of King's Landing, he told me that this was his biggest mistake as it stained the Lannister name. Elia Martell and her two children were brutally murdered with Elia raped after witnessing her children being murdered. Father wanted to have Gregor killed for that but Robert ordered him released, he may be a Mad Dog but he has his uses." She then turned to her servant "More wine"

At the Mud Gate:

After Stannis' ships had gotten close enough, Stannis began ordering the soldiers to get onto the rowboats. Now they were getting closer towards the shores of the bay near the Mud Gate. Stannis knew that the arrows were going to be a problem; they had not protection to shield them from the arrows firing from the walls so they would have to get to the walls as quickly as possible.

On the walls of the city. Joffrey watched in horror as Stannis' soldiers came closer "They're coming" he shouted "They're coming ashore"

"Rain fire on them" Tyrion ordered

Joffrey shook his head in a panic "They're too many"

Tyrion looked at Bloodbeard "Sellsword, it's your turn to do what we paid you to do. Go out there and fight. Form a welcome party, any enemy soldier that hits solid ground do what you can to knock them back" Bloodbeard narrowed his eyes and walked down the wall where his force of sellswords were waiting along with the Bright Banners, the Iron Shields and the force of the Stormcrows were waiting.

"Come on" Bloodbeard growled "Stannis is bringing us fresh meat. We fought bloody wars in the Disputed Lands, we'll be fine here" The Stormcrow leaders Prendahl and Sallor got their men together and Bloodbeard punched Lancel Lannister on his chest "You're coming with us" he growled and then grabbed the leader of the archers "We're fighting on your side, so if any of these flaming fucking arrows hits my men, then I'll stab you in the belly, rip out your guts and strangle you with them!"

The rowboats carried Stannis' troops sailed closer and closer and soon they arrived on the shores and the men began jumping off the boats and onto the land. The archers on the walls began firing arrows at them to try and kill them. Stannis' troops had no protection as they were unable to form a shield wall due to how close they were to the city walls so as soon as they got off the boats, they ran straight towards the walls to get away from the arrows. Some of Stannis' men were archers and fired arrows of their own from the boats but it was difficult to hit the archers due to how dark it was and because to boats were rocking around but they still distracted the archers away from the charging soldiers.

Stannis personally led his men towards the walls where they leaned against it and some used their shields to protect themselves from rocks being thrown from the Battlements. Stannis saw how important this was when a rock crushed the head of a soldier standing right next to him "To the Mud Gate, go now!" Stannis ordered

"First and Second Squad, to the Gates" an order was shouted by the commander "To the Mud Gate"

The Mud Gate opened to allow Bloodbeard and his Company of the Cat Sellsword army of 5000 to leave to attack along with the 500 Stormcrows as well as the Iron Shields and Bright Banners and a few Lannister men including Lancel Lannister. Bloodbeard growled at the men and gave them all a warning "If I see any man die with a clean sword, then I'll rape his fucking corpse" the Bloodbeard swung his sword at a Baratheon soldier who charged at him which cut him in two as the top of his body fell off from his legs. Because Stannis had not establish a firm foothold on the beach, Bloodbeard and his men were able to overcome the troops but as more and more soldiers sailed onto the beach, they wondered whether or not they could keep this up.

King's Gate:

Loras Tyrell watched as the siege towers began rolling towards the walls. Siege towers were very effective for sieges as they could carry a lot of soldiers close to the wall and when they were close enough, a gangplank would drop and create a safer way to get troops over the walls instead of using ladders which could be knocked down or have rocks or arrow hit the soldiers when they climbed over the walls.

As soon as the troops on the walls saw these siege towers heading towards them, they fired flaming arrows at them in an attempt to stop them and set the towers on fire. They also fired a few pots of flaming pitch at them but Garlen had advised Loras to place animal skins on the towers, which prevented the towers from catching fire. Eventually Ser Addam made a risky decision and ordered a few Pots of Wildfire to be brought up to the Battlements. They had arrived and Addam had decided to be the one to fire them because he didn't want to risk any of his men panicking and dropping the pots which would set the walls on fire. So he place a pot in a small catapult and fired it at the nearest tower. The tower caught fire but was still moving so Addam fired a few more until the tower was engulfed in green flames. The men already on the tower jumped off the tower or tried to get out as the tower caught fire and then eventually collapsed.

Loras watched as one of his towers collapsed but he still had a few more. He ordered the catapults to stop firing, Loras did this because he feared that he could set the walls on fire which could destroy the city if he hit the wildfire so he decided to be safe and stop firing the catapults though he still fired the arrows and ordered a Battering Ram to go towards the Gate and prepare to knock the door down.

Dragon Gate:

Lord Mathias Rowan was a stout, florid and clean shaven man who was the Lord of Goldengrove and he wore a snowy white doublet with his armour over and the symbol of his house, a golden tree, stitched in golden threat over his breast. Mathias was one of Mace Tyrell's supporters and a loyal man who stayed loyal to Mace when his sons chose to side with Martin. In truth, Rowan had doubts about the Tyrell alliance with Joffrey but he would never admit it. He was also worried because he would be facing Randyll Tarly who was assaulting the Dragon Gate. He and Tarly were old friends but now they would be fighting each other as they had taken opposite sides in the war. He also knew that Tarly was a skilled commander and already, his force defending the Dragon Gate had a problem, Tarly had adopted a Turtle formation were all the heavy shields had come together to create a large formation around the Battering Ram which made it difficult for anyone to be hit by arrows fired from the Battlement. Tarly's force had already reached the Gate and they were banging against the door. Thankfully, this door was stronger so it would take time before they broke down the door but for now, they would prepare a counter attack. Then one of the soldiers came up to Rowan who looked like he was gasping for breath.

"Lord Rowan" the man gasped "I've come from the Iron Gate, enemy forces have captured it led by Lord Tarly's son Dickon. They managed to climb the wall and open the gate and then they overpowered the men stationed there. They now have a way into the city."

Rowan gasped in horror, enemy forces had captured the Iron Gate so now Martin's army had a way into the city. He knew that he had to do something but there were problems for everything now. If he sent men to recapture the Iron Gate then there would be less men to defend the Dragon Gate against the main Tarly force. But if he left the Iron Gate in the hands of the enemy then more enemy soldiers could enter the city and attack them from behind. So he turned to one of his commanders "Take a small force to the Iron Gate and recapture it" he ordered "Kill them but bring me their leader Dickon Tarly, he will be valuable to defeat Lord Tarly here, he would never let any harm come to his best son."

"Understood my lord" the commander, stated and then he left with a small force of men to recapture the Gate

Lion Gate:

Lord Tywin Lannister watched as Garlen Tyrell's army began marching forward and now it was time for him to reveal his true loyalties so he turned to his brother Kevan "It's time" he ordered "Take the men out"

"Understood" Kevan replied and then he walked down the Battlements to get the Lannister army ready.

Gate of the Gods:

Commander Andens commanded the city Watch as well as a small force of Tyrell soldiers. Thanks to him being brutal to the men, the City Watch was not just a group of untrained soldiers but cruel soldiers who took what they want and had fun with woman whenever they wanted. They had brutally enforced Joffrey's laws and many of the men were just as cruel as Andens himself. His top men were Ulrich Leland, a man who was in charge of the fines and took great pleasure in taking money from poor people and then seizing their property when they couldn't pay. Tyrellius Logellus was a man who also loved taking money from people and when Joffrey became King, the three of them teamed together to overthrow the Watch Leadership and take over, they were already under investigation for corruption but now they were in charge. And they wanted it to stay that why so that was why they would fight to stay in charge. They also knew that Martin would be fighting at this part of the city and so Andens had promised a large sack of Gold to anyone who managed to kill Martin or capture him. Andens watched as the men all began firing arrows at the incoming soldiers, the walls of the city were strong but they wouldn't be able to hold against Martin's Legions forever.

A place not far from the city:

A group of 6 robbed individuals stood in a circle with one of them wearing a crown made from bone. They all wore the same black robbed with the Red Skull stitched on and they all appeared to be part of some kind of Cult "Bring forth the Blood offering" the crown wearing man commanded and then one of the robbed men brought through a chained man who was in rags, this man had been captured from a nearby village and now they all began chanting

"Let Coldharbour remake this world in its own image." They all chanted "Lord of Domination and Brutality, we offer up this innocent in your name. Through the power of innocent blood, bring forth your anchor and let two worlds become one. Bind this world with your chains and drive it ever closer to your realm" the captured man screamed as he glowed blue and then he dissolved into dust which floated into the air as the ground rumbled around them

Mud Gate:

Bloodbeard and his men were fighting Stannis troops as they landed. Despite having the advantage at first, now they were being overrun. Lancel who was unskilled as he had not been trained properly in swords did his best but then he was hit by an arrow fired by a Baratheon soldier. Lancel looked around and saw that they were now being overrun and so he went back inside the gate as he clutched his chest where the arrow had hit him. Bloodbeard cut another man in two but then a man who had been set of fire charged at him to try and take him down only to be hit by a few arrows. Bloodbeard now saw that they had no chance to carry on fighting here and so he turned to his men.

"Fall back!" he ordered "Fall back into the walls!" then he went back into the city along with those that could and then the doors were closed

Stannis saw that they now had a foothold on the beach and turned to his men "Get the ladders up now and get that ram here" the soldiers brought ladders with them and then they placed them against the walls. Stannis quickly climbed up one and managed to avoid the arrows and rocks until he made it to the top and he quickly managed to kill the soldiers on the wall and was joined by a few more soldiers.

The boats brought more ladders with them along with a ram. The soldiers quickly dragged the ram closer to the gates while others turned one of the boats over and then walked to the Gate. They quickly picked up the ram and began bashing it against the Gate.

Inside the Walls, the remaining soldiers quickly placed wooden planks against the Gate and did what they could to reinforce it. Bloodbeard was covered in blood from the fight and turned "Someone bring me a drink" he ordered and a man brought him a flash which he began drinking from, only to spit it out when it was water "Fuck the water, bring me wine" another soldier handed him a flash of wine which he quickly drank from. Bloodbeard then approached Joffrey "We can carry on fighting here inside the walls" he stated "But we cannot fight outside now that the full force has landed"

"I paid you good gold!" Joffrey snapped "You will keep your end of the deal"

"I sure will!" Bloodbeard growled "But I can't be so sure about the other sellswords"

Joffrey looked and saw that some of the Sellswords looked like they were ready to try and flee from the battle which made Joffrey furious "If any of these men try and flee then you will execute them!" he ordered

Tyrion looked over the walls and saw that Stannis' men were bashing against the wall. He knew that the gate wouldn't hold forever and soon Stannis would be in the gates. Tyrion knew that he would have to get away somehow otherwise he could be killed by mistake or his true loyalties could be discovered. But then his thoughts were distracted when he heard a loud bang and the ground rumbled "What was that?" he questioned and then he along with everyone else turned and gasped in shock as some strange portal appeared in the Sky just west of the city.

Between Lion and Gate of the Gods:

The loud bang was heard all over the city and everyone stopped fighting to see what was going on. The Siege towers at the King's Gate stopped and everyone looked to see what was going on. Kevan's army stopped and looked to see a strange portal appearing in the sky not far from them.

Martin himself was shock at what he saw; he saw a large metal ring with a bluish portal appear within. There were three strange locks of some kind and the ground rumbled again and large chains fell from the portal and attached themselves to the ground and then the chains tightened. As soon as Martin saw blue balls falling from the portal, he realised what this was and was shocked. He had only heard stories of them from thousands of years ago from the Blades Library from a time before the Septim Empire.

Alessia gasped at what she saw "What is that?" she questioned

Grandmaster Delphine gasped in surprise as well "By the Divines, is that what I fear it is"

"I fear it is" Martin stated "A Dark Anchor"

Castle Black: The Wall:

Lord Commander Jeor Mormont sat in his office along with Alliser Throne who looked at him "Are you sure that we should allow those Savages to come through the wall?" Alliser asked "This wall has kept them out for 1000s of years and now we've just let them through. What happens when they start raiding the lands here, we'll have the Northern Lords here ordering us to throw them out?"

"I doubt that the Wildlings will cause trouble when they have bigger problems" Jeor stated "The threat of the White Walkers is real and we were nearly destroyed by an army at the Fist. It was only thanks to the Wildlings that we made it back here."

"I want to know something" Alliser stated "If there were thousands of those Wights at the Fist how come the Wildlings didn't take heavy losses? The only way to kill them is with fire from what you told me before this Great Ranging."

"Dragonglass also kills them" Jeor claimed "Along with killing the White Walker who raised them. There were two White Walkers there as well, one was killed by Jon with Longclaw and the other was killed by the Young Dawnguard Agmear with a Dragonglass dagger. When they died most of the Wights collapsed, there must be connection between the Walkers and the Wights that they've raised."

"So Dragonglass and Valyrian steel can kill them" Alliser stated "How many Valyrian Steel swords are left in the world"

"Not many" Jeor stated "And I know that Dragonglass is better known as Obsidian, I've asked Isran if his Dawnguard have anything on Obsidian. They said that they would check the Library and ask Prince Martin when this war is over, with the proof that we have, we can show the Kingdoms that this threat is real. We're going to need all the help we can get."

Alliser then thought of something "There are some Wildlings that I've never seen before." He stated "Those greenish skinned warriors and that dark grey skinned woman, who are they?"

The door then opened and King Kurog and Priestess Aranea entered and Mormont spoke up "I think it's better if they explained themselves"

Alliser looked at them "I don't trust Wildlings!" he hissed at them "I've spent the years in the Night's Watch fighting them. Now I've seen different groups like some who feast on the dead, now I need to know about you people"

"Well as long as you don't insult my people we should get along fine" Kurog stated "My people are known as the Orcs and we've lived in these lands beyond the wall even before the Wall was built. You don't see us often because we spend more time fighting against each other. We're a warrior race and are split into clans but when the Walkers attacked our lands, we had to flee."

Aranea then spoke up "I'm just a religious leader for a small group of Dark Elves. Most of us live on the Island of Solstheim in the Shivering Sea or in the lands of Morrowind in Northern Essos."

"I think we would like to know more about the Dark Elves" Jeor stated

"Well there is quite a lot to tell" Aranea stated "Morrowind is in Northern Essos and we were once part of the Septim Empire, but once the Empire collapsed, we went our own way. We're a bit like the Seven Kingdoms as our lands are split into lands ruled by Great Houses, the most powerful of which is House Redoran. About 400 years ago the largest Volcano, Red Mountain erupted which destroyed Vivec City and many other holdings on the Island of Vvardenfell. House Indoril was badly affected and only House Redoran was still powerful enough to fill the power vacuum which became worse during a war with the Dothraki. If it wasn't for House Redoran then we would have lost most of our lands and even today, we are still rebuilding, the effects of Red Mountain are still felt today in Morrowind and our captain city of Mournhold is still being rebuilt.

"That's quite a history" Jeor stated

"Tragic history" Aranea claimed "I just hope that we can all survive the Storm that is coming."

Rivenspire:

Daenerys along with Farengar and Verandis had managed to make it up to the next level of the Doomcrag. This room had large stone statues in the room with beams of red light emitting from them which seemed to power some kind of red Barrier. To the horror of the three, Gwendis was behind the barrier along with Dorell, Jorah and Tamrith. Gwendis was being held in the air by red beams of light while red magic seemed to be coming from the other three.

"Gwendis!" Verandis shouted "What has he done to you?"

"Verandis, help" Gwendis begged "Please, help me, their blood, it smells so good"

"No Gwendis!" Verandis shouted "You must control yourself"

"I'm trying" Gwendis cried "But I don't know how much longer I can hold it, you must stop Montclair now, he's on the next level up along with some strange High Elf and Daenerys' dragons"

"My dragons!" Daenerys shouted "Are they okay?"

Gwendis squeezed her eyes as she tried to resist the magic that was trying to corrupt her "They're imprisoned and Montclair is trying to get control of them, but dragon minds are not like our minds, they can't be control like people can."

"We must hurry" Farengar stated as he looked at Jorah and the nobles "It doesn't look like we have long"

Verandis stared at the two of them "This is powerful magic" he claimed "Montclair has imprisoned them within a blood ward and the Remnant is using Gwendis' hunger to make her feed on them. If the remnant corrupts her then she'll be under Montclair's control."

"How do we bring down this barrier?" Farengar asked "This is not like any magic that I've seen"

"Montclair is using the Remnant to power it" Verandis stated "The only way we can take it down is by taking out Montclair, we have to get up to the Remnant and fast"

"Then let's go" Farengar stated and then he and Verandis ran off while Daenerys looked at Jorah, she was worried for her bodyguard and she wanted to save him but she knew that they had to do it fast and so she ran after the others.

Outskirts of King's Landing:

The creation of the Dark Anchor had caught everyone by surprise, even Martin. He remembered the strange cultists that killed his uncle Renly and that they were believed to be the Worm Cult, the legendary cult that were behind the dark event known as the Planmeld that happened before the Septim Empire and would actually be what would found the Empire. A Dark Anchor had not been opened in many years since the ending of the Planmeld. These enormous interplaner machines were created by the Daedric Prince Molag Bal to drag the mortal world into his own world of Coldharbour and merge the two worlds into a single Nightmarish realm. The Anchor had been placed between Martin's army at the Gate of the Gods and Garlen's army at the Lion Gate.

As soon as the Gate had been opened, many dark creatures from Coldharbour had been sent through the portal. The most common of them were small pale skinned goblin like creatures known as Banekins which could zap lightning at people. There were forces of Dremora lords led by a Xivilai. These soldiers quickly began charging at both Martin and Garlen's army in force. They were joined by other creatures such small harpy creatures covered in scaled known that could fly as Winged Twilights, these were actually servants of the Daedric Prince Azura but some had been forced to serve Molag Bal. There were also large fleshy creatures known as Ogrim which could knock a grown man backwards and they trample them. But like the Winged Twilights, Ogrim actually served a different Daedric Prince, this time Malacath, the Daedric Prince of Curses.

Some of these creatures weren't as common. These included a long snake like creature with the upper body of a woman and four arms known as a Harvester. These creatures could send lightning at their enemies and could also suck the soul out of people who got too close to them. There were also strange floating eyeballs with tentacles known as Watchers, these strange creatures were difficult to deal with because they floated and then shot beams of green light from their eyes which could incinerate people and also create shockwaves. But the most terrifying of all these creatures were Daedroth, large reptilian creatures that had claws that could rip a man to pieces and also could spit fire.

Tywin had joined his men and widened his eyes when he saw the monsters appearing from the strange portal. But now he realised he had a legitimate reason to side with Martin in the battle now since this portal threatened the entire city so he turned to his men "Men, surround that portal, create a Shield wall around it" Thanks to the Lannister Gold, the Lannister army were equipped with large shields that could create a shield wall. Tywin then turned to Kevan "Get over to the King's Gate and tell Addam to abandoned the battle with the Tyrell and get him here now, we're going to need every man we can get. See if you can get Mace to bring his men here, we can forget about the siege now, this portal is more important." Kevan nodded and left.

Martin had the same thought and turned to Delphine "Get Tullius over here now" he ordered "And we need Loras and his army here as well, we need to keep the Daedra confided to this area"

"What about Tarly and Stannis?" Delphine asked

"They're too far away to help" Martin sighed "We'll just have to do what we can. Get the rest of the Blades here as well; we'll need their expert fighting for this."

Delphine nodded and she ran off to do her job while Martin drew his swords and watched as the Daedra forces came towards him. A few Dremora lords attacked him but Martin used his training that he learnt from the Blades and was able to quickly duck under the sword of one and then slice its head off and then impaled another one through the chest with his other sword.

In Martin Baratheon's camp, Jaime Lannister had been confined to a tent with the Blades Guards guarding it at all times. There was no way Jaime could even try and sneak away as these guards were always alert and they could see if he even moved around the Tent. From his time as a prisoner, Jaime knew that the man in charge of guarding him was Captain Steffan, a high ranking member of the order and some of the Blades that he knew the name of were Ferrum, a member who spent a lot of time training with a sword, Jaime had watched him so he could try and learn a few new fighting tricks. Another one was Baragon, a member who read a lot and the final member was Glenroy, one of the lookouts who was suspicious of him and always reminded Jaime that he was being watched at all times. Some of the other Blades members such as Jena and Pelagius were helping Alessia and Willas look after Martin's five dragons but then they had all been shocked when the Dark Anchor opened and the Blades all watched in horror.

Jaime had never seen such as thing in his life and he had never heard of it "What in Seven Hells is that thing?" he questioned as he looked up at the Anchor

"It is a Dark Anchor" Baragon answered "I remember reading about them in the Blades Library, there is so little written about it but what I do know is that Daedric forces will be pouring from that gate and they will destroy everything here"

"Then we must destroy it" Ferrum stated as he began swing his sword around "We must help our brothers with closing that portal"

Glenroy narrowed his eyes at Jaime "But what about our Prisoner here?" he questioned "Our orders were to guard him."

"I can help" Jaime stated which made everyone look at him "Look that portal is threatening everyone that includes both the city and our armies, it needs to be closed and fast."

"And what's stopping you from just turning on us?" Glenroy snorted

Jaime sighed "I know that you don't trust me but I'm a skilled fighter though not as skilled as you are" he stated "But we can't allow our differences to cloud our minds and we need to close that portal. Besides I don't think we have much choice" he proved his point as more Daedric forces appeared

Steffan sighed and walked to a nearby chest "You have not really earned the right to use this" he claimed as he pulled out a suit of Blades Armour from the chest "But it's better than most armour and will give better protection against those creatures" then he turned to look at Jaime "Don't betray that trust or I will kill you myself for breaking an Oath, now swear that you will not betray us"

Jaime made a deep breath "I swear on my Life that I will help you defeat these forces and then when this is over, I will return to your custody"

Steffan then placed the armour near Jaime which was lighter than it looked and handed Jaime a Blades sword "Show us that you have earned this sword" Jaime looked at the sword before he started to place the armour on.

Mud Gate:

Stannis stood on a section of wall that he had captured when he saw the Dark Anchor opened. He had no idea what it was but he knew that it was a danger to the whole city. But there was nothing Stannis could do to help, he was too far away and he doubted that he would be able to negotiate the truce to fight off those creatures. Joffrey himself was leading the army here and there was no way that Bloodbeard and the Sellswords would help, the more likely outcome would be that Bloodbeard would flee so he turned to his commander "There isn't much we can do about that portal thing" he stated "If we leave then the enemy will recapture the beach so we must hold. Keep trying to break down the door but once we've captured the Gate, we will stay here."

"Understood my lord" the commander stated and then the Battering Ram carried on punching into the wall.

Within the walls where Joffrey and his army stood, everyone looked in shock at the portal that had opened. Lancel Lannister had fled back to the Red Keep but everyone was wondering what to do. Tyrion couldn't believe what he was seeing, if he wasn't fighting a battle then Tyrion thought he was seeing things from drinking too much again but he was sober and since everyone else saw it, it only confirmed that it was real.

Tyrion's Squire Podrick Payne returned and looked at him "My lord" Podrick stated "Strange creatures are coming from that portal. Martin's forces have stopped attacking the city and are now fighting those creatures"

Joffrey smirked "Then that will make it easier to defeat my traitor brother"

Tyrion saw that Podrick had more to say "But it's not just Martin's forces, the Lannister men at the Lion and King's Gate have joined the fight along with the Tyrell men from the Old Gate, but Tywin has openly declared for Martin, it seems he's been playing us this whole time. Only the Gate of the Gods remains inside the walls"

"Traitors!" Joffrey spat "I name him Hand of the King and this is how he repays me with Treason. My mother was wrong to say that I should name him Hand, I will choose someone who is loyal to me next time"

Tyrion looked at him "So what are our orders my King" he questioned "We still have a fight here to take care of"

Joffrey looked over at Stannis' forces that were still attacking the Gate "We still have a good position. We stand and fight." Then he looked at one of his best Kingsguard Ser Mandon Moore "Ser Mandon, you're in charge here, Hearteater and I have something important to do, I'm taking the rest of the Kingsguard with me." Joffrey then left with his Jaguar in tow along with Meryn Trant and Osmund Kettleblack. This left Tyrion worried about what was going to happen.

Rivenspire: The Doomcrag:

Daenerys, Farengar and Verandis had made it to the top of the Doomcrag and were just about to enter the final door.

"This is it" Verandis stated "Our final confrontation with Montclair is here"

"So if we kill him then all this will be over?" Daenerys questioned

"Hopefully" Verandis claimed "But I'm worried since he has you dragons with him and there is still the problem of the Remnant itself. If Montclair powers that thing then he could unleash its full power on Rivenspire. And if that happens that Rivenspire will never be safe, Bloodfiends will rise up and attack all over."

Before anyone could say anything, Farengar drew his staff "Someone's coming up"

The three of them got ready as they heard voices coming from the stairs

"Daenerys! Farengar!" one voice shouted "Are you all up here?"

"Damn it Damien slow down!" came the angry voice of Skordo the Knife and they all watched as Damien and Skordo came into view "Wait for me you bog legged bastard!"

Verandis narrowed his eyes "What are you two doing here?" he demanded "It is not safe for you to be here?"

"I know" Damien groaned "But we had to find you, we have problems. It Janeve, she's gotten very sick."

"Janeve?" Farengar gasped "But how?"

Skordo sighed "She's been like this for a while, ever since you defeated Reezal-Jul. She's been infected and is now turning into a Bloodfiend"

"What!" Verandis shouted "Why didn't she tell us this before?"

"I don't know but that's why we came to find you" Damien stated "And we ran into the Countess, are you doing to get them all out"

"We can once we defeat Montclair" Verandis stated

"Well we're going to help" Skordo stated "There is no way you can defeat him on your own"

Verandis wanted to protest but he knew that there was no choice so he sighed "Very well, but you must be careful, Montclair will be very powerful now and he may have some help, we need to be ready" The five of them looked at each other as Verandis opened the doors which went into the room where the Lightless Remnant was kept.

The Vale: The Eyrie:

It had been some time since the victory at the Eyrie and the defeat of Petyr Baelish and Lysa. Brynden Tully along with Legate Gonnar had taken the prisoners back to Cloud Ruler Temple so that they would be ready to be taken back to King's Landing after the battle so that they could be tried for their crimes. Yohn Royce had been placed in command of the Eyrie and Martin would later decide who would become Lord of the Vale.

As for Mychel and Mya, their relationship had developed more and now they were spending their nights together in the same bed. Mychel swore that as soon as the war was over, he would marry Mya and he didn't care what his father said. After he had spent the night making love with Mya, Mychel was getting his tunic on and smiled as he saw a naked Mya sleeping on the bed. The two of them just couldn't stay away from each other, many claimed that this was a forbidden relationship as Mychel was a lord's son and Mya was a bastard, a royal bastard but still a bastard. When he heard a knock on the door, Mychel opened it slightly to see that it was one of the soldiers of Lord Royce.

"Mychel Redfort" the man said "Lord Royce would like to see you in the main room"

"All right, I'll be there in a bit" Mychel replied as he closed the door and then he looked back on the bed to see that Mya had woken up "My love, I have to leave for a while but I will be back in a bit"

Mya laughed "Just make sure you don't take too long" she chuckled and then Mychel placed a big kiss on her lips and then he left the room.

Mychel soon made it to the room where Lord Royce was waiting. But he was not alone, there was someone else waiting and it was someone who he was a bit worried to see, it was a short old man with a well trimmed beard and old eyes. It was his father Lord Horton Redfort, a man who was thrice wed. "Lord Royce" Mychel greeted and looked at his father "and father, I did not expect to see you here"

"I only just got here" Lord Horton stated "Lord Royce and I have been talking, you fought bravely during the war and we've decided that it is time for you to receive your Knighthood" Mychel smiled at that but he could see that there was something else "And there is more, you are of marrying age now and we have decided that you are to marry Lord Royce's daughter Ysilla Royce within a few months"

Mychel's smile fell, his father had decided to have him married off and he was the youngest son, Jasper, Creighton and Jon weren't even married yet and now he was to be married off. Mychel knew why his father had decided to have him married off, Jasper had told him about his relationship with Mya but Mychel was not going to allow that and so he made a brave face and prepared himself for the consequences "I'm sorry father but I cannot allow that" he stated "I cannot marry this girl, my brothers aren't even married yet. Don't play stupid with me; I know why you are doing this"

Horton sighed "Jasper told me what you did and I cannot allow this. If my son marries a bastard girl then our family will be the laughing stock of the Vale. Even if you are the youngest son, she's a bastard son; you have no chance with her."

"She saved my life!" Mychel snapped "If it wasn't for her then I would be dead. I don't care if she is a bastard, I love her and she loves me."

Horton sighed "I hoped I didn't have to do this." He said to himself "I'm too old for this now" he looked at his son "I'm going to give you a choice, you can either accept your Knighthood and marry Ysilla Royce, or you can marry Mya but then you will lose your position as a member of my House, I cannot have a son who marries a bastard"

Mychel sighed but he knew that this was what he wanted in his heart. So he tore off the symbol of House Redfort off his robes and threw it on the ground "That is my choice father" he stated "I will find someone who wants my service"

Horton sighed "If that is your wish then I will accept it" he stated "But I cannot allow you in Redfort again."

"I understand" Mychel stated and then he left the room and went back to his own room where Mya had gotten dressed and was sitting on the bed.

Mya took one look at her lover's face and saw that he looked sad "What happened my love?" she asked

Mychel sighed "My father knows about us and he decided to give me a choice, either I could remain a part of his house and marry Ysilla Royce or I would be disowned and marry you." He then looked at her "I choose you"

Mya gave a sad smiled and then hugged him "I'm sorry that you had to make a choice like that" she stated

"I've always wanted to be the best swordsman in the Vale" Mychel claimed "And I can still be that, I don't need to be a Knight to be a swordsman"

"So where will we go?" Mya questioned

Mychel thought for a moment "Why don't we do to Martin's town at Cloud Ruler Temple" he suggested "That could be a place where we can live"

"I would like that" Mya claimed and then she kissed Mychel on the lips again

King's Landing:

Despite the brave attempts of the armies against the Daedra, the battle was not going well. A large Daedroth had broken through the Shield wall and now it was breathing fire on the soldiers in the rear wall. Several Ogrim had also broken through the Shield wall and then they picked up huge bits of stone from the ground using their sharp claws to dig the rocks up and then they threw them at the walls. They were almost like trebuchets as the rocks could go over a large distant and they damaged parts of the city walls.

Mace Tyrell's large army had arrived along with Loras and Garlen's armies but even so, they were still fighting a losing battle as every time one Daedra was killed, another one took its place. And while the Dremora lords and Banekins were easy to kill, the larger creatures killed quite a number of soldiers before they were killed and the Daedroths in particular caused large casualties. The Blades seemed to be doing the best at fighting the Daedra; Delphine swung her sword around and slashed through Daedra all over the place. At one point she jumped on top of an Ogrim and then shoved her sword right into its neck which killed the beast. Martin swung his swords around and slashed through a Dremora lord's armour and killed it. But then saw a Watcher nearby which then curled up into a ball with its tentacles wrapped around the side of its body and Martin knew what it was about to do. If the tentacles wrapped above and below the body then it would send out green beams but if around the sides, then it would blast a large shockwave.

Before Martin could react, the Watcher unrolled itself and sent out a large shockwave which blew Martin back and right towards a few Dremora lords. Martin groaned as he landed on his back and then saw a Dremora lord above him. He managed to get Dragonbane ready to fight but he didn't need to as he saw a Blade's Katana get shoved right through the Dremora's chest. At first Martin though it was Delphine but as the sword was withdrawn and the Daedra fell, Martin was in for a shock, it wasn't Delphine or even any member of the Blades. Martin saw the blond hair of his uncle Jaime; he was now wearing Blades armour and using a Blade's sword. Other blades knights with him including Baragon, Glenroy, Captain Steffan and Ferrum.

Jaime held out his hand to Martin and when Martin took it, Jaime pulled him to his feet. The two of them looked around and saw Ferrum striking down several Dremora lords and using his skills to dodge their attacks. Martin looked at Jaime "What are you doing here?" he asked

Jaime sighed "I couldn't just stay behind and watch as these dark forces destroy our armies and the city" he stated "I'm not as skilled as the Blades Knights but I'm still a warrior. I vowed I would do what I can to fight these things"

"And what happens when the battle is over?" Glenroy called over "What will you do then?"

Jaime sighed "From what I can see, I think Martin will still win this Battle if we close this portal"

"My King!" a voice called and Martin turned and saw Grandmaster Delphine walking over to him. She was joined by Lord Tywin Lannister and his brother Kevan. Both were shocked to see Jaime wearing Blades armour.

"I'll explain later" Jaime said to them knowing what they were about to say.

Delphine looked at Martin "My King, we have to do something soon" she stated "none of this is going to mean anything if we don't close that portal. Every time we kill the Daedra more must take their place." She proved her point when a Daedroth was killed when overcome with spear and then it vanished but then a new one took its place.

They were then joined by Lord Mace Tyrell and his sons Garlen and Loras. Garlen was carrying Loras who was wounded "We got attacked by one of those snake like creatures" Garlen stated referring to a Harvester "That thing used some kind of Dark Magic to grab Loras, it started sucking the soul from him but we managed to kill the thing. But Loras is still weak from it"

Martin looked at Loras who was pale and could barely stand, he was in no way fit to fight "Get him back to the camp and get Colette ready to help" he ordered as a few soldiers took Loras from Garlen and took him back to Martin's camp.

"What do we do now?" Tywin asked and then he looked at Martin "You've must have read something on these portals, you must know a way to close them"

Martin sighed and shook his head "These portals happened before the Septim Empire, there is hardly any knowledge on them, I haven't been able to read everything in the Temple Library"

Baragon managed to kill a large Ogrim and walked over to them "I've done a lot of reading and I think I know a way" he said "Some of the books I read talked about the Planemeld event and the Dark Anchors"

"Did these books tell us how to close them?" Delphine demanded as she killed another Dremora Lord.

Baragon thought for a moment and then realised the answer "The book talked about how the pinions are the key that hold the portals open" Martin looked and saw that in four corners of the area, there were four large pinions which seemed to be what held the gate opened. "They're sealed at the minute but if we kill Daedra near the Anchor, then their essence will be absorbed by the Pinions, eventually they will overpower and then we will be able to seal them"

Martin looked at the others "Then we must move our forces closer to the portal" he stated and the others looked like that was suicide "I know this seems like a suicide mission but if we don't close this portal soon then we will be overwhelmed and it's not just our armies then will destroy but everyone in the city. These Daedra will spare no one, every single person living in the city will be killed and then there would be a city to rule from, no matter who wins this battle."

Tywin knew that Martin was right, these Daedra showed no mercy and they would not stop until their mission was complete. However, before he could order his men to get ready, he saw something that he needed to bring to Martin's attention. "Martin, we got trouble!"

Martin looked where Tywin was pointing and he gasped in shock, a flock of Winged Twilights were flying away from the portal carrying a larger creature with them. This creature looked like a mix between a Winged Twilight and a Daedroth, they couldn't fly which was why it was being carried by the Winged Twilights, it was not as strong as a Daedroth but still looked quite tough. This was a Grievous Twilight, a type of Winged Twilight created by Molag Bal and it was being carried into the city.

Tywin looked at his brother "Kevan, take some of our men back into the city and find that thing before it destroys the city within"

Kevan nodded and took a small force back into the city while Martin looked at the land under the portal where the grass had started to turn black "This is it" he said to himself and then he charged forward with the others to prepare to fight the Daedra and hopefully close the portal.

Gate of the Gods:

Commander Andens looked at the Battle that was raging outside. Andens had refused to assist in this battle and had kept all his men behind the gate. Andens was happy to see that he wasn't getting involved in this fight; there was no way he was going to help Martin fight these creatures even if the Lannisters and Tyrells were. But then someone came who he wasn't expecting.

"Commander Andens" the voice of King Joffrey called and Andens turned to see the King walking towards them along with two of his Kingsguard.

Andens bowed to him "Your Grace" he stated "What brings you here"

Joffrey sneered as he watched the battle below "I hope to watch as my brother's forces are destroyed" he stated "But I hope I get to kill my brother myself, when I give the signal, I want us to charge out and attack them from behind, if these creatures won't destroy them then I will when they're weak."

"As you command your grace" Andens stated and then he went off to find Ulrich and Tyrellius

Joffrey stared at the field and smirked when he saw his brother struggling to fight all the Daedra "Just you wait traitor!" Joffrey spat "Soon your head will decorate a spike on my walls and it will serve as a warning to other traitors."

Rivenspire:

Daenerys along with Farengar, Damien, Skordo and Verandis made it to the top of the Doomcrag where the entered the chamber. They soon saw some kind of metal pillar in the centre of the chamber with red light being emitted from it.

"That's it" Verandis stated "That's the Lightless Remnant"

"But where is Montclair?" Damien asked

Skordo looked around "I don't know but he has to be here somewhere" he stated

A quiet roaring sound caught Daenerys' attention and she turned around and gasped when she saw her dragons on a stone table with their necks in metal collars and then chained to the table.

"They miss their mother" a voice called and everyone turned to see a golden skinned man with pointy ears, he wore his hood over his head and his robe was blood red and he smirked at Daenerys "Maybe I should introduce myself, my name is Raven Cameron, son of Mankar Cameron, leader of the Mythic Dawn. Your brother asked me to send you his regards when I finally meet you"

"My brother!" Daenerys gasped "So my brother really has joined the Mythic Dawn cult"

"He has indeed" Raven smirked "And soon we will be ready to launch our invasion of the world. This is just the start of what the Mythic Dawn, when we destroyed Vaes Dothrak; it helped create issues in the Free Cities. With the capital of the Dothraki gone and their spirit
leaders gone, they are now able to start reclaiming lands from the Dothraki Sea. And that will distract them from us while we gather our allies and then start our invasion when we've regained our power."

Verandis narrowed his eyes "So I guess that you're the one who corrupted Montclair?"

Raven smirked "I sure did" he stated "He was desperate to save his wife that he said he would do anything. Then when you slew his wife, he was full of rage and then we fuelled his anger and now he fights for us"

"And where is he?" Skordo demanded

A figure wearing black armour walked out from the Remnant "I'm right here" Montclair stated "And now you will pay for killing my family Verandis"

"And once we will you, we shall escape and I'll bring your dragons to Viserys, maybe I'll keep you alive and you can watch as your brother takes control of your dragons before he kills you" Raven stated to Daenerys

Daenerys narrowed his eyes "I have one thing to say to you" she stated "DRACARYS!" then Drogon tried to breath fire but only a pull of smoke came out and then Dragon was able to screech "YOL!" and a small ball of fire came out from his mouth which struck Raven on the arm and then Rhageal and Aego followed and breathed fire on Raven. Raven tried to use ward magic to stop the fire but this was useless against dragon fire. Soon Raven's arm was on fire which he tried to put out but it was useless and soon his whole body was on fire. Raven screamed in agony as he fell to the floor and rolled around trying to put the fire out which was now all over his body. Eventually he stopped moving and fell silent.

But it was not over yet as Montclair drew his sword "I'm not going down without a fight!" he snarled and then he charged and them. Damien and Skordo were able to block his attacks while Verandis and Farengar fired magic at him. Daenerys went to try and unchain her dragons but jumped back and barely avoided a dagger which nearly slashed her throat.

Daenerys gasped when she saw who the dagger belonged to "Doreah?" she gasped "I thought you were my friend"

Daenerys' former handmaiden Doreah was now wearing the same red robe that Raven wore and she had a wicked smirk on her face "Did you really think I cared for you?" she questioned "I was playing you from the start, I've always worked for the Mythic Dawn ever since they saved me from slavery. I did learn how to pleasure but they saved me from being cruelly treated. I worked as a spy for them and you were the perfect target. Raven and I were lovers, I just loved it when he ravaged me but now he's gone and soon you will too." She slashed her dagger again which Daenerys managed to dodge. "And when I kill you, I'll make sure it's painful just like it was for those Dothraki." Daenerys dodged another slash.

Montclair meanwhile was swinging his blade to block Damien and Skordo's attacks but he had trouble dodging the firebolt spells fired by Farengar. Eventually he managed to unleash a blast of red magic which blew Damien back and knocked him against the wall. "Enough!" he yelled "I'm done playing around, let's see how you handle the full power of the Remnant" the remnant then glowed red and power came from it which was then absorbed by Montclair.

"NO!" Verandis yelled "Wylon, are you mad! You destroy all of Rivenspire!"

"Then at least my family will be avenged and the Dawn will be ready to make its move" Montclair smirked but then he gasped as Farengar fired a powerful Fire Storm spell which managed to burn Montclair enough to make him lose focus, then Verandis charged forward and grabbed Montclair and then he quickly drew a dagger and buried it in Montclair's chest. "NO!" Montclair hissed "I... can't... be... defeated... like this." Then his eyes rolled forwards in his eyes as Verandis withdrew the dagger. Then Wylon Montclair fell to his knees before falling forward dead.

"I'm sorry Montclair" Verandis said to himself "I'm sorry that it had to end like this"

Montclair's death managed to distract Doreah which allowed Daenerys to knock her out and then she looked at Farengar who was breathing heavily "Farengar, are you alright?" she asked

Farengar gave a few deep breaths "I'm fine" he stated "I'm just a bit tired out from using that much magic, a Fire Storm spell is a master level spell and this is the first time I've used it."

With the death of their enemies, the magical chains that help Daenerys' dragons vanished and they all started cooing and jumped onto Daenerys' shoulders, happy that they had their mother back. Skordo then helped Damien up who had recovered from the blow that Montclair had inflicted on him.

"So it's over now" Damien stated "Now we can finally go back to Shornhelm and end this madness"

But then an explosion caught their interest and they all watched as the Remnant gave off a lot of powerful magic "The Remnant!" Verandis gasped "It's overpowering, now it threatens all of Rivenspire and can unleash the dead."

"Is there any way to stop it?" Skordo asked

Verandis sighed "No" he stated "We cannot undo the damage that Montclair has done to it" Verandis looked at them "Please, tell Gwendis then she means a lot to me. Tell her to remember all that I've taught her"

Daenerys looked confused "Wait, what are you doing?" she asked

Verandis gave a sad smile "There is only one way to save Rivenspire now" he stated "I have to take the Remnant away to my master Molag Bal, it's the only way to save Rivenspire now. Get the nobles and get out of here, my magic will prevent get you out but you have to get the others."

Damien then looked at Doreah "And what of her?" he asked

Daenerys narrowed her eyes at her former handmaiden but she knew that she had to do the right thing "We'll take her with us" she stated "She'll stand trial for what she did" Skordo then picked Doreah up and left along with Skordo.

Before he left as well, Farengar looked at Verandis "Verandis" he stated "It's been an honour to serve with you"

Verandis smiled "It's been an honour serving with you as well" he stated "Tell Gwendis that I'm sorry."

"I will" Daenerys said and then she and Farengar left the room with Daenerys' dragons while Verandis stared at the Remnant.

King's Landing: Red Keep:

Cersei continued to stare at Margaery as she drank some more wine and then she had an idea on how to make her even more uncomfortable "You know I lied to you before" she stated

"About what?" Margaery asked

"About Ser Ilyn" Cersei claimed "Do you know why he is really here?" Margaery shook her head "Ser Ilyn isn't here to protect us, he's here to end us if the city falls. Do you know what happens during a sack" Margaery shook her head again "Well the soldiers become bloodthirsty and they take it out on the people? If the city falls then these fine woman, shall be in for a bit of a rape. Many of them will have bastards in their bellies in the morning. But I shall soon die before that happens."

Margaery looked at Cersei "But Martin will not allow that." She stated "He hates rape and ideas like that"

"He may hate it but it won't stop it from happening" Cersei smirked though even she knew that Martin would never allow rape to happen, she just needed to scare Margaery.

Then the door opened and everyone looked to see an injured Lancel Lannister walking in "Your Grace" he shouted as he walked up to the queen

"What news from the battle?" Cersei questioned

Lancel went in close to Cersei and began whispering into her ear "Something shocking and unbelievable has happened" he whispered "Some strange magical portal has opened outside the city walls. Martin, your father and Lord Tyrell have joined together to close it, these creatures will destroy the city. But Stannis Baratheon is outside the Mud Gate which is close to falling"

Cersei looked at him "And where is Joffrey?" she demanded

Lancel sighed "He went off, he left Ser Mandon in charge of the Mud Gate, and he claimed that he has some important business to do elsewhere in the city"

"Bring him back inside at once" Cersei ordered

Lancel looked confused "Your Grace, he'll probably refuse to do it, when he says that he's doing something it means that he will do it."

"Bring him back to his chambers now!" Cersei ordered again. But then there was a loud banging outside the walls "What's going on there?"

Lancel looked confused "There were no signs of any enemy troops inside the walls" he stated

But then the door was blown off its hinges which blew the guards back. There was the sound of a monstrous roar and young Tommen screamed in terror when he saw that there was a big vicious monster that had blown the door back. Tommen screamed more when the monster roared loudly which scared him.

The guards quickly recovered and tried to attack the creature but smaller winged creatures attacked them. One guard was thrown to the floor and screamed as claws scratched his body which then tore it to pieces.

Margaery and Cersei stared in shock at these monsters, they had never seen anything like them and Cersei was holding a screaming Tommen at her legs. Ser Ilyn drew his sword and charged at the large monster, but the attack just bounced off the scales. The Creature then grabbed Ser Ilyn by his shoulders and lifted his up into the air like he was a rag doll. This creature was very strong and the grabbed Ilyn's head and pulled hard until his head was tore from his shoulders. Then the body was thrown aside.

Most of the guards were dead but Lancel was still alive. But he was shaking in fear; he had never seen anything like this and just saw Ser Ilyn get killed quickly. His sword was shaking in his hands and he had no idea what to do, he didn't want to die but he couldn't flee as he would be called a murderer and a coward for the rest of his life. Lancel charged forward and was able to slice one of the smaller creatures in two. But his victory was short lived as the larger creature swiped his aside with its claws which went right through his back. Lancel screeched in pain as he was thrown aside into a wall.

The creatures turned their attention to the Queen and the ladies. One smaller one went forward to attack but was knocked aside by a large ball of fur. Tommen's pet Jaguar Ser Pounce had been in the room as well since Tommen felt safe around him. Ser Pounce bit hard into the creature and tore off one of its wings. Ser Pounce had been a calm and peaceful Jaguar but protective when Tommen was threatened.

But the larger creature remained and got its hand ready to slice the queen but then a few arrows pierced through its back. Cersei looked as she saw uncle Kevan charging with a few men.

"Take that beast down!" Kevan yelled and the soldiers he brought charged and managed to bring the large monster down. Its wings were sliced off by swords and then the head was bashed in with a mace.

"Are you alright?" Kevan asked when the creatures were dead.

Cersei gave a few deep breaths and then hugged Tommen since the young boy was crying a lot from being scared "We're fine, just shocked. But Ser Ilyn didn't make it. And Ser Lancel is wounded."

Kevan ran to his son's side and saw Lancel was bleeding heavily from the attacks but still alive "Get him to a healer" Kevan ordered "You must save my son" several soldiers picked Lancel up and then took him away so he could be seen by a healer.

Mud Gate:

With one last push, the door to the Mud Gate was broken through by the Battering Ram "All men, charge into the city" Stannis ordered and then the Baratheon troops charged into the city and came into full contact with the Sellswords and Joffrey's troops. The front gate was now a full battleground where troops were fighting everywhere for control. Joffrey's men fought for every step they could hold to try and hold Stannis' men back. Tyrion had to keep up his appearance and took his axe out and hit a Baratheon soldier nearby and then he saw Ser Mandon Moore near him. Tyrion smiled at him and was prepared to fight some more but would look for the chance to show his true loyalty. But he never got the chance as Ser Mandon suddenly lifted his sword high into the air.

Tyrion widened his eyes when he realised what Mandon was doing. But before he could react, Mandon brought the sword down and through Tyrion's face, the attack left a large cut across his nose which left him dazed, he dropped the axe and fell to his knees and watched as Mandon lifted the sword again. But then a spear was plunged through Mandon's face killing him instantly. The spear was withdrawn and Mandon fell to the floor dead and Tyrion was just able to see his squire Podrick holding the spear. "My lord!" Podrick gasped and took hold of Tyrion who looked at the battlefield and saw that Stannis' men were winning and were pushing back the Company of the Cat. Bloodbeard put up a big fight but was eventually disarmed and knocked to the ground where he was beaten but still alive. Then he was dragged away. Prendahl and Sallor dropped their swords and ran for it only for Sallor to be killed when an arrow went through his neck leaving Prendahl alone to try and flee. Other members of the Company of the Cat stayed and fought until they too were forced to surrender. Stannis had won this part of the Battle and the Mud Gate was secure. But there was still the problem of the Dark Anchor but Stannis saw that the portal looked like it was ready to collapse in on itself.

West of the City:

Martin along with the Lannister and Tyrell forces had engaged the forces closer at the Dark Anchor and just like Baragon had said, when they fell, the Daedra bodies turned into blue light which were then absorbed by the Pinions. When they overcharged, they opened and then someone just had to touch the blue light and the Pinion would seal. Two of the Pinions had been closed already and right now, Martin touched the orb of a third which then closed.

"We're close now!" Martin called out to his men "Just one Pinion left"

Tywin then noticed more Daedra emerging from the anchor "Watch out!" he called "More are coming!"

About 5 more Dremora lords emerged from the Anchor along with a few Banekins and a Clannfear. The forces quickly attacked these creatures. One Dremora lord was cut in two by a slash from Tywin who was wielding Brightroar, he may have been old but he could still fight like a true warrior. The Banekins were quickly defeated along with the Clannfear, the Dremora Lords were able to defend themselves better a few of them were killed and then when they died, their bodies turned into blue light which was absorbed by the Pinion. Then after a few had been killed, the Pinions overcharged and then opened.

"Now's our chance!" Delphine yelled "Close the Pinion now!"

Martin quickly ran towards the Pinion and then touched the orb. The Pinion then closed and sank into the ground. With the Fourth Pinion closed, all of the Daedra surrounding the city then collapsed. No matter how many and how strong, they all fell to the ground though a few of the Tyrell forces were killed when a large Daedroth fell on top of them. But now everyone was cheering. The Daedra forces had been defeated, they had won. But Martin looked around and saw many bodies both from the Daedra forces and from his own men. Every army had taken a hit but Martin also felt something else was wrong. He looked up and saw that the Dark Anchor was still open. He looked at Delphine "Grandmaster!" he yelled "If the Pinions are closed, why is the portal still open?"

Delphine looked confused as to why the Portal was still open but then she saw a dark head with horns through the portal. Her heart sank as she hoped it was not who she thought it was "Is that..." she started but never finished as Martin saw it too.

"It is" Martin stated "Molag Bal himself"

"FOOLISH MORTALS!" Molag Bal growled "DID YOU THINK MOLAG BAL; THE LORD OF DOMINATION WOULD BE SO EASILY DEFEATED. YOU MAY HAVE DEFEATED MY ARMY, BUT LET'S SEE HOW YOU DEAL WITH SOME OF MY GREATEST GENERALS. MEET BITTERWIND, THE KING OF STORMS, MY PERSONAL SLAVE NOMEG HAGA AND MY PET DRAGON SORMORASK."

Three large beams of light emerged from the portal and when they struck the ground, they created a large explosion which blew everyone backwards creating a cloud of smoke. When the smoke cleared three massive monsters emerged and these were even worse than the rest of the Daedra. The first one was a large creature made of rocks with lightning holding them together. This was a Storm Atronach but this was a bigger one known as Bitterwind. The second one was a large blue creature made from ice. This was a Frost Atronach but like the Storm Atronach, this one was much bigger than regular ones.

But it was the final creature that terrified everyone. This creature looked like a massive black dragon but with glowing red eyes and could stand up like a human. It looked like this dragon had been tortured as parts of its body were missing. This creature was known as a Daedric Titan, a Daedric creature so rare than many people didn't believe that it even existed. The story was that Molag Bal tricked a dragon into coming into his realm of Coldharbour where he chained it up and tried to learn it's secrets. When the dragon refused to answer, Molag Bal consumed the dragon's flesh until only a skeleton remained. Then the skeleton was thrown into the pools of Coldharbour where it became the first Titan. Since they were so difficult to create, they were very rare.

All three creatures roared but Martin refused to back down "We're defeated the forces before and we can defeat these creatures as well."

But even Martin saw that this wasn't going to be easy. Bitterwind was immune to weapons as they kept passing through his body and then he would just send out a shock wave to blast everyone back. Nomeg Haga who was the Frost Atronach was the weakest of these creatures but she was still very strong. His body was made from solid ice which was very tough to damage. He could also make ice spikes appear from the ground and throw ice particles from his body, these ice particles burnt skin like fire. But the Daedric Titan known as Sormorask was the toughest of them all. He was bigger than the Daedroths and was taller than the towers of the city, which made it difficult to harm him since the soldiers could only damage his legs. Even then, his skin was made of thick leather which was tough to pierce.

Tywin turned to his men "Get the Scorpions to target that creature" he ordered pointing at the Titan "We have to take it down" Tywin was right; the Titan could easily destroy the city walls with one swipe of his claws.

Tywin was closest and started dealing with the Titan along with his men. Mace Tyrell and the Tyrell forces decided to deal with Bitterwind while Martin had to deal with Nomeg Haga. Martin and the Legion soldiers surrounded the Frost Atronach and stabbed it multiply times but no matter what happened, the Frost Atronach didn't even seem wounded. Then one of the Atronach's hands became a giant club made from ice which he then used to swipe the men back and then ice spikes erupted from the field which blew them all back. Martin was thrown back and he dropped Stormbringer and Dragonbane. He struggled to get up because his hand had been burnt from the Ice. He then saw Nomeg Haga standing above him with one hand turned into a large ice sword that looked like it was ready to stab him in the belly. Martin knew that he had to do something. Then Martin realised that there was only one thing he could do, he knew that using this power was dangerous but he had no choice.

Martin narrowed his eyes at the Frost Atronach and then he used the power of the Thu'um. "YOL TOL SHUL!" he shouted as the full power of the Fire Breath Shout emerged from his mouth and sending out a large cloud of fire was his mouth. The fire cloud engulfed Nomeg Haga who began screeching as he began to melt. His arms collapsed from his body and then his top part of his body crumbled into small ice particles and Nomeg Haga was no more.

Martin gave a few deep breaths as he pushed himself up and walked over to where his swords were lying. He picked both of them up and then he felt like something was about to attack him. He turned around to defend himself and just in time as another sword collided with his own and Martin saw that he was looking at the face of his brother Joffrey.

Joffrey looked much worse than Martin had seen, in fact Martin had not seen him since he had gone off to the Vale to get Tyrion back from Lysa, now one of Joffrey's eyes was gone and his face was red and filled with pure rage "Now it's your turn to die traitor!" Joffrey spat

"Not today" Martin stated, he was tired out but could still fight and it was made easier since Joffrey was still a poor fighter with a sword. And it wasn't just Joffrey who attacked; Martin saw several traitors included Commander Andens, Ulrich and Logellus. But very quickly, Martin's Blades joined in the fight.

Meanwhile, Mace Tyrell along with his son Garlen stood near the Daedric Titan who then swiped his claws and cut a man into ribbons.

"We need to take that creature down!" Garlen yelled

Then a few Scorpion crossbows from the walls fired at the beast, these had more of an impact than the swords as the Beast groaned and then fell back a bit but only gave a loud roar. Silence filled the area and then the Titan sent his arm forward and grabbed Lord Mace Tyrell by his waist and picked him up.

"Father!" Garlen yelled as the Titan lifted Garlen closed to his face. Mace groaned at how tight the gip was and then Mace looked terrified as he stared into the red eyes of the Titan who then roared, covering Mace in saliva. Then the Titan's grip increased making Mace groaned more until there was a crushing sound as the Titan then crushed Mace's body in his hand. Then the Titan threw the mangled body to the ground. Garlen took one look at his father and could see that he was dead. His eyes had rolled back in his head and all of his body apart from his head had been crushed that he could not be recognised, he had been quite tubby but now all his ribs were shattered and he could no longer move. Filled with Rage, Garlen charged forward and stabbed the Titan in the leg but the Titan just kicked him away.

Martin continued fighting his brother while the Blades took care of his soldiers. Most of the normal soldiers had fled after Ulrich had been knocked down and captured by Delphine. Barristan was easily able to overcome Logellus and stab him in the chest and the corrupt guard fell dead to the ground. Joffrey's pet Jaguar Hearteater joined the fight but then ended up in a fight with Martin's black furred Jaguar Storm

Martin narrowed his eyes "You can't win Joffrey" he mocked "I have more support than you, most people see you for what you are, a Mad Tyrant just like Aerys II and this is just the start of your rule. They don't want you as their King"

"Well it doesn't matter what they want!" Joffrey snapped "I am the King, I do what I want and I'll have what I want and that includes your dragons, with them under my control, no one will ever disobey me again"

Martin smirked "How about I give you a lesson in the new power that I've leant" he stated and then he prepared another Dragon Shout that he had learnt "VEN GAAR NOS!" he shouted as the he used the Cyclone shout and a large grey cyclone emerged from his mouth which then hit Joffrey and sent him flying backwards. Joffrey quickly got to his feet and then charged at his brother. Joffrey yelled out a warlike scream but then it turned into a scream of pain as Martin swung his sword which went through Joffrey's sword hand. Both his hand and sword dropped to the floor and Joffrey fell to his knees clutching the stump where his hand had been and Martin pointed Dragonbane at Joffrey's neck. "It's over Joffrey, surrender!"

Joffrey narrowed his eyes and then watched as commander Andens was taken down and forced to surrender. Joffrey was about to draw a dagger to attack Martin with but then there was a small explosion as a shadowy figure appeared on the field "You're coming with me!" he snarled as he grabbed Joffrey and then grabbed Hearteater by his collar when the Jaguar jumped at him and then in a cloud of smoke, the strange man vanished again taking Joffrey and Hearteater with him.

Martin stared at what just happened until Delphine managed to help him to his feet "Martin!" she shouted "This isn't going well, we may have defeated the Frost Atronach but that Storm and the Titan are difficult to deal with. Mace Tyrell is dead and now more and more men are wounded.

But then Martin saw his sister Alessia and Willas Tyrell running towards him "brother!" Alessia shouted "I'm sorry brother, I tried to stop them but they wouldn't listen."

Martin looked confused "What are you talking about?" he asked

Martin got the answer when he heard roars. He looked up to see his five dragons circling overhead near the Storm Atronach. The dragons were getting bigger and were growing fast, now they were the size of a grown wolf. One by one, they each fired a fireball at the Storm Atronach or in Frostbite's case, a small ball of ice that shattered into ice fragments. The Storm Atronach tried to cover itself with its arms but was meant to deflect lightning attacks, not frost and fire. Eventually, the attacks became too much and the lightning surrounding the body went out and the rest of the body crumbled into a pile of rocks.

Now it was just the Titan and this was the toughest of them all. The constant attacks from the Scorpion crossbows had taken its tool on the Titan and now the catapults were firing at him which kept him back, a scorpion bolt had already taken out of the Titan's eyes. But the Titan was still strong and then got close to the walls and was ready to swipe his hand to smash through the wall. But then someone jumped onto the head of the Titan from one of the city watchtowers. It was Tyrion's sellsword friend Bronn; he had not fled and had used his archer skill to help out. He jumped onto the Titan and quickly stabbed the beast its remaining eye causing with his dagger the Titan to thrash around to shake him off. But Bronn held on tight and then he was able to stab his sword through the head. The Titan went silent and then collapsed to the floor dead. Bronn's stab had hit the brain which killed the Titan. Bronn was able to stay hold of the Titan so he survived the fall but was still a bit sore from the fight.

Molag Bal's voice could be heard again "You may have defeated my champions but this is just the Beginning. Enjoy your victory while it lasts" then the fifth Pinion opened and Tywin who was closest ran over and touch the Pinion. The Pinion then closed and the Anchor began turning before vanishing from the sky.

With the Dark Anchor gone, everyone all over the city began cheering. The danger to the city was gone and the city was safe from destruction. But some were wondering on what to do now. They had been fighting each other before but now the threat that they all fought against was gone. It was Tywin who broke the silence "People of King's Landing" he called out "King Joffrey is gone, the people who created the portal took him with them" Tywin had seen Joffrey get captured before "But we have a new King standing right here" he pointed at Martin "He didn't run and hide like some people did, he personally led the fight here, he is clearly the right choice for King." Other people soon began to chant Martin's name

Martin looked at everyone "I guess the only thing left to do now is to take the throne" he said to Delphine who nodded and they all entered the city and went over to the Red Keep.

Rivenspire: The Doomcrag:

Daenerys along with Farengar, Skordo and Damien made it back to the lower room where Gwendis and the others were being held. Daenerys was relieved to see that the magical bonds that imprisoned them were now gone. Dorell and Tamrith were still unconscious though Gwendis was still awake and Jorah was starting to wake up.

"Khaleesi" Jorah gasped when she saw Daenerys with her dragons "What happened?"

"You were all captured by Montclair" Farengar stated "But he's dead now, we defeated him."

Gwendis looked at them "Where's Verandis?" she asked

Damien was the one who answered "He's not coming" he stated "The Remnant is overpowering and could unleash hell on Rivenspire. He said that he has to stop it"

Gwendis gasped when she realised what Verandis was going "No he can't!" she shouted "He can't leave me" she was about to run but Skordo grabbed her

"There's nothing we can do for him!" he yelled "We have to go now!"

Daenerys helped Jorah up "Can you help with these two?" she asked referring to the nobles. Jorah nodded and carried Tamrith while Damien took Dorell. Skordo had to drag Gwendis who now had tears falling from her eyes.

Up in the tower, Verandis channelled his magic as he prepared to use his magic to remove the Remnant from this world. He smiled knowing that the others were at a safe distance away and he just closed his eyes "Gwendis, I'm sorry, but I am proud of you" he then zapped the Remnant with his magic which made the Remnant glow white which then got brighter and brighter. Then there was a large explosion of white light which engulfed Verandis and the rest of the Doomcrag.

Westerlands: Lannisport:

Reginald Lannister stood by his window as he watched the battle raging outside. Sure he was at a disadvantage but he was sure that once word had reached them about what had happened at King's Landing and that the city had been destroyed by a Dark Anchor, the Northern forces would panic and then flee. With Tywin dead, he would be free to take over Casterly Rock and become Lord of the Westerlands. He had no idea what had already happened at the city.

Reginald watched as the Northern forces fired rocks at the walls to break them down but refused to destroy the city, they were far too honourable to sack the city and burn it unlike the Ironborn. Then he heard someone enter the room and when he turned around, he smiled when he saw that it was the King of Worms "So, I take it that the operation was successful, King's Landing has been destroyed"

The King of worms shook his head "No, their army has been damaged but they closed the Anchor" he stated "But even so, we did capture someone important" Two Worm cultists brought in Joffrey who was currently unconscious and Reginald noticed that he only had one hand. "We thought he might come useful later and so we're going to take him and train him in our ways. And I think you should come along as well."

"Why is that?" Reginald demanded

"With the failure at King's Landing, it won't be long before they discover what you did" The Worm King stated "Besides, the Mythic Dawn will think this is a perfect time to strike and while they're doing that, we can start getting ready, let the Dawn start the fight and we can finish it."

"Fine!" Reginald spat "Let's go but I will still become Lord of the Rock"

"With our powers you sure will" The Worm King stated and then they all vanished from the room.

King's Landing:

After the attack on the women and children, Cersei had taken Tommen over to the Throne room. There was no way that she was going to allow those monsters to take her son and so now she sat on the Iron Throne with Tommen sitting on her knee. Tommen was still crying from the attack, he had never seen something so horrific before and see Ser Ilyn get beheaded in front of him and left him in shock.

"Be calm my sweet" Cersei cooed to him "No one is going to hurt you."

"Those monsters will" Tommen cried "I'm scared mother, I want my brother back"

Cersei hugged him "Not to worry, Joffrey will be back soon"

Tommen shook his head "Not him mother, I want Martin back. And Alessia and Myrcella. I want us all to be together like we were before. I want this war to stop"

"And it will" Cersei cooed "Soon Martin will see reason and stop this stupid conflict and swear fealty to the rightful King."

"Martin is the rightful King" Tommen stated "Father decreed it on his deathbed."

Cersei was quiet about that. She wanted to see her Golden Lion on the Throne but this war had torn the realm apart. Many people were saying that Joffrey was just as mad as the Mad King and even Cersei was starting to see that madness now. But Joffrey was still her firstborn and she loved him. Maybe he would change in the future.

Then there was banging at the front door which scared Tommen "Who's at the door mother?" Tommen asked "Are those monsters back?"

"If they are then I won't let them hurt you" Cersei hissed

But when the doors were thrown open, it wasn't monsters that came in but a group of Lannister soldiers who stood aside to let Tywin enter "Father" Cersei gasped

"The Battle is over." He stated "We have won"

Cersei smiled but was worried about her children who had been fighting this war "Where is Joffrey?" she asked when she saw that Joffrey wasn't with them "Where is the King"

Tywin stared at her "The former King Joffrey is gone. Those fiends took him with them. But we have a new King right here" The Cersei gasped as she saw her son Martin enter the room.

"I'm sorry mother" Martin stated "It's over; Joffrey is no longer the King"

Cersei stared in shock while Tommen gave a happy smile and jumped off his mother's lap and ran towards his brother. Martin managed to get Tommen in his arms and the two of them cuddled "I missed you Martin" Tommen stated

"I missed you too" Martin stated

Cersei looked on in shock and looked at her father who was smiling. It was then that she realised that Tywin had been on Martin's side the while time. "You mean all this time you've been fighting for him?"

Tywin narrowed his eyes at his daughter "I always believed that Martin was the rightful choice as King. And seeing what Joffrey did makes me glad I did support him. That boy was worse than the Mad King and I'm glad he's gone; he would have only brought the realm to ruin. Long live the King, long live Martin Baratheon"

The soldiers then began chanting Martin's name but all Martin could think of was how glad he was for this war to be over.

Chapter End:

Notes: Finally, after two months of work, this chapter is finished. This chapter ended up being much longer than I thought it would be. I tried to write as much of the Battle as I could which resulted in a lot of small scenes. One more chapter left and then Season 2 will be finished. I hope it won't take as long as this update did as it will probably be a shorter chapter. I know that I said that I would be finishing season 2 of this story before I carried on with Dragon X but since this chapter took so long, that won't be happening. I will try and get the finally chapter of Season 2 finished as fast as I can but I am now at University so I have a lot of work to do. There were a lot of deaths in this chapter and there will be more in the next chapter. Some of these deaths like Mace Tyrell I had planned to happen ever since I started this story. Also I would like to note this suggestion that someone gave me on Robin Hood. I won't be able to put it in this story but I might put it into the spin off story I have planned on the Resistance but that will not be starting for a while but thanks for the idea. See you next time on this story
