25. End of the War

End of the War:

Doomcrag: Rivenspire:

Daenerys Targaryen groaned as she opened her eyes and saw that she was lying on a fur bed inside a tent. She wondered where she was and then saw Jorah standing guard at the entrance of the tent "Jorah?" she questioned "What's going on?"

Jorah gasped in shock as he turned around and saw Daenerys had woken up "Khaleesi!" he gasped "I've seen that you've woken up. It's over, the war in Rivenspire is over, and we have won"

The tent then opened and Farengar walked in and smiled when he saw Daenerys "I see that you've woken up, that means we've all woken up now."

Daenerys sat up on her bed "So what happened?" she asked "The last thing I remember was being blinded by a bright light"

Farengar answered the question "Verandis saved us" he stated "He prevented the Remnant from corrupting all of Rivenspire, and he used his magic to teleport everyone out of the Doomcrag before it exploded. Everyone has been looking at the scene of the explosion, that place was once the tallest mountain in Rivenspire but now the top of the Mountain has been blown apart."

Daenerys looked at Jorah "Did everyone make it out okay?" she asked

"Skordo and Damien managed to get Tamrith and Dorell out okay." Jorah stated, "They woke up some time ago. The Countess and Baron are confused with what happened but are fine. But I'm worried about Gwendis; she's upset with what happened"

"Why?" Daenerys asked

Farengar sighed, "I'm afraid Verandis didn't make it, he was inside when the Mountain exploded, and there is no way he could have survived that."

Daenerys sighed at the loss of a friend, they had saved this world from dark forces but they had lost a friend in the process "So what happens now?"

Farengar answered the question "Dorell is preparing the troops to move back to Shornhelm. A new path had been created so we won't have to go around again. But Tamrith is with her sister, she's still very sick with what happened. I've done what I could to help but Healing is not my skill. I doubt she'll make it. High King Emeric is back at Shornhelm waiting for us, he sent a message saying he wants to speak to us when we get back. And there is something else, your former handmaiden Doreah was captured during the fight, we're taking her back so she can answer for her crimes."

Daenerys narrowed her eyes "I'll make sure that she does" she hissed

Westerlands: Lannisport:

Robb Stark watched as the Gates of Lannisport opened and a small group of Lannister soldiers walked out with the leader holding a white flag of surrender. Greatjon Umber and Rickard Karstark stood with him as the men approached him. Greatjon and Karstark had their hands on their weapons in case this turned out to be a trap. When the Lannister soldiers got close to them, they drew their weapons and threw them on the ground.

"Lord Stark" the lead man stated "I am Vylarr, captain of the Lannisport watch, Lannisport surrenders"

"And where is Lord Reginald Lannister?" Rickard questioned "I thought he would be the one to order a surrender."

"He fled" Vylarr stated "He vanished and now our lord is gone. But we received a message from King's Landing" he handed a message over to Robb "The war is over, Martin Baratheon has taken King's Landing."

Robb looked at his men, if Martin had taken King's Landing then that meant that the war was over. So he turned to his men and smiled "We have done our job men" he called out "My friend Martin has taken the capital and is now to be crowned King. I must travel to the city in order to swear fealty to him and then we will be going home. We have all fought well in this war and while we lost some good men, they did not die in vain, this war shall be remembered and those who died will be remembered as well" the men cheered and then Martin looked at Greatjon and Karstark "I need you two to help prepare the men to travel back home." He stated "I'll be going to King's Landing with Galbert, Roose and Maege. You two would be better at leading the men home so I trust that you'll have no problems"

"We shouldn't my lord" Greatjon stated

"We'll make sure that there is no trouble" Karstark added "Thankfully most of the men are honourable and so we shouldn't have much trouble with pillaging."

Robb nodded and then he went off to prepare for his trip to King's Landing

King's Landing:

The Battle of King's Landing was over and Martin had achieved victory. He was to be crowned King soon but first he wanted to wait until Robb had arrived. He currently stood inside a room in the Red Keep alongside Alessia and Grandmaster Delphine as they looked out of a window and looked through the city. The Battle had been devastating for King's Landing as the Dark Anchor had left parts of the city destroyed, rebuilding the city would be his first priority when he was crowned King. The bodies of those who died would be returned and buried in the lands where they came from so they could be given a proper burial.

"We may have won the Battle but it's going to take some time before the Kingdoms have recovered" Alessia stated

"That's true" Martin stated as he saw several bodies piled onto a cart which was then drawn out of the city "We lost a lot of good men in the battle and I will need to talk with General Tullius, we'll need to replace the men that we lost from the Legions in the fight."

"That will take a while" Delphine stated "Only the Third and Fourth Legions are at full strength since they weren't in the Battle."

Martin sighed "I guess that this is what King is going to be like" he stated to his sister "The decisions I make will not only affect the soldiers but also the people. Joffrey was cruel to them but I will not be like that"

"You'll be a great King" Delphine reassured "The people love you and now they'll respect you now that you've won the war."

"But we have threats attacking us" Martin stated "We have two Dark Cults, the Mythic Dawn and the Worm Cult, and we still have that threat North of the Wall. Whatever happens, I'm going to end up being the King who leads Westeros in a time of great peril, and I will either be well remembered as a Hero or a man who failed"

Alessia narrowed her eyes "You will not fail!" she hissed, "You lead us during the War and you will lead us again. You've had great ideas that no other King had and you can help rebuild the Kingdoms and mend the damage that the last kings did. The last three Kings damaged the realm and now you must fix it. Robert may have been our father but he wasn't a great King"

"I agree" Martin sighed, "I may have loved him as a father but he still could have done a better job as King." He then sighed "I guess I should start preparing to create a council, I'm going to need great advisors to help me lead, and I cannot do this on my own" Delphine and Alessia agreed with him on that.

…

Castle Black: The Wall:

Lord Commander Mormont was in his office alongside Maester Aemon, Grandmaster Isran and Jon Snow as they disused what they should do next.

"We may be able to convince the Lords of Westeros that the threat of the White Walkers in real but we may not be able to fight them." Isran stated "There are very few weapons that can and they are in short supply."

"What weapons can defeat White Walkers?" Aemon asked

Jon answered it "I killed a White Walker with a Valyrian Steel Sword, and we know fire can kill the whites but not much"

Mormont sighed "There aren't many Valyrian Steel swords left in Westeros and those that remain are in the hands of noble families and they won't just hand them over"

"My brother has a Valyrian Steel sword and I'm sure he would help when he is needed" Jon stated "And Martin has another one which he got from his trips in Essos."

"How many other Valyrian Steel swords are there?" Isran questioned

Jon sighed "Not enough" he stated "The Ironborn have two because Theon told me, Red Rain and Nightfall."

"Being a Maester means that I've read a lot on the Houses of Westeros" Aemon stated "The Lannisters have Brightroar, the Tarlys have Heartsbane and House Corbray has Lady Forlorn. Sadly some Blades have been lost such as the blades of House Hightower and House Royce."

Jon then thought of something else "We know also that Dragonglass can kill White Walkers and Wights" he stated "Maybe there is a way to get more of that"

Aemon remembered something else "Before I took my vows, I was a member of House Targaryen and I lived on Dragonstone. That island is volcanic and there is lots of Dragonglass there"

Mormont nodded "Send a raven to King's Landing and ask the King for permission to have Dragonglass from Dragonstone sent to us" he ordered

But then one of the Stewards who Jon knew as Pyp walked in and he looked like he had something to say "Sorry to intrude but there is a small host of men approaching"

Isran stepped up "Under what banner?" he asked

"I don't know the House but they have chains on a red field" Pyp answered

Jon sighed "House Umber" he stated "They're here about the Wildlings; House Umber has always had a hatred of the Wildlings since they are the closest house to the Wall."

Mormont turned to Isran "Get that Wight ready, we'll need to show it to them in order to prevent a fight"

Isran nodded and then he went to collect Gunmar and Sorine in order to get the Wight ready to show to the Umbers and show why they had let the Wildlings through the Wall.

Fort Snowhawk: The North:

Theon Greyjoy stood on the walls of Fort Snowhawk which was the First Legion's headquarters in the North. The castle was old and dated from the time of the ancient Septim Empire and the rule of King Harald. In those days, records say that Snowhawk was once a small city state until it became part of the North under Harald's leadership. Much of the city faded over time due to cold weather and eventually, the keep itself was abandoned and fell into ruins. Since the castle had no importance to anyone, no one decided to claim the Keep and soon it became a place for outlaws. When the Legions were formed, they needed a place to use as their headquarters and Martin had decided to use old Forts instead of building new ones and so Fort Snowhawk was claimed by the First Legion in their first fight. The bandits who claimed the Fort did not put up much of a fight and they had quickly been defeated with the survivors taken to Castle Black for the Night's Watch.

"You've been on watch for a long time now Greyjoy" a voice called and Theon turned to see the legion's temporary leader Galmar Stone Fist approaching him. Galmar had taken command while Ulfric was South with the rest of the Legion.

"I just keep wondering what's going to happen now" Theon stated "I always thought that one day I would be Lord of the Iron Islands but that will not happen now" he stated "Even if I wasn't disowned, there is no way the Ironborn would accept me, they've believed in their beliefs for many years and will not change. But I now wonder what will happen to them now, the last time they rebelled, I lost two of my brothers and I was taken from them and now I have a new family. But what will happen now?"

Galmar looked at him "Martin will most likely leave the Ironborn alone for now" he stated "With your sister as a hostage, Balon won't risk losing his new heir. He will have the Legions on watch in order to show Balon that if he attacks, the Legions will move in hard." He then got a letter out from his pocket "We've also had a message from King's Landing, the war is over, Martin won and is now crowned King"

Theon smiled "That's great news" he stated "That means that he will rule the kingdoms now"

Galmar nodded but he did not have a smile on his face "But the fight is not over, a Daedric Cult attacked him and nearly destroyed all the armies. Whatever happens, the Legions will be playing an important role in the future and I need all the men to be ready."

Theon looked at Galmar and knew that his future was with the Legions now and that his time of being a noble born son was over, no matter who his family was; he would remain loyal to the Legions and fight to protect Westeros from evil.

Unknown Location:

Viserys Targaryen sat at a table with Mankar and Runa. Runa looked angry as they read the news that had just arrived from Essos.

"My brother is dead!" she yelled and glared at her father "I'll kill them for this"

"And we will my dear" Mankar stated "But we have to be careful, the Worm Cults actions at King's Landing will have made Martin cautious for now so making an open move is risky."

"So then how do we take Westeros then?" Viserys demanded "I have waited a long time to take my throne and I'm running out of patience."

Mankar smirked "Raven may be dead but while he has been promoting our cause in those lands, he has also been creating sleeper agents like the agents we have here. All of them will prove useful when we make our move"

"And when will that be?" Viserys demanded

Mankar sighed "We will have to wait for now" he stated "We'll wait for the Worm Cult's actions to calm down otherwise they'll be ready for us. But while we're doing that, we can start preparing our magic. If we had the Elder Scroll that Martin has in Cloud Ruler then that would be useful in boasting our power."

Viserys smirked "Then why don't we just sneak people into the castle and steal it?" he suggested

Mankar sighed "If only it was that easy" he stated "Jearl has reported that the scrolls is locked up tight in a vault that even the best thieves couldn't break into as it needs two special keys and has magical wards protecting it."

Runa had an idea "If we can't take that scroll then why don't we try and find another scroll?" she suggested

Mankar looked at her "That's not a bad idea but it won't be easy to find one. When the Septim Empire fell most of the scrolls were lost. The order of the Ancestor Moth has spent years trying to collect them and they have a number of them, but like the one at Cloud Ruler, they're locked under tight security and guards that guard the vault all the time."

Viserys looked at Mankar "This region where Raven was sent is what remains of the Septim Empire" he stated "Maybe we could have our agents who are over in that region search for a scrolls and then bring it to us"

Mankar looked at him and nodded "I guess that's what we'll do then, I'll have all our sleeper agents look for signs of these scrolls and if one is found, and then I'll mount a mission to recover that scrolls."

Viserys smirked as his idea had been recognised but then he remembered something Mankar had stated "What is this order of the Ancestor Moth?" he questioned

Mankar got a book from a shelf and place it on the table, the front of the book had a drawing of a moth on it and the book looked very old "The Order of the Ancestor Moth is an ancient cult that goes back to the time before the Septim Order. They were the only ones who could read the Elder Scrolls but spent many years training and preparing for them. Many of them want blind later in life as reading the scrolls was dangerous, if a normal person who had no training read them, they would die or go mad, blindness was the least of their worries. When the Septim Empire was formed, they became the Moth Priests and settled in White Gold Tower which was the royal palace of the Empire with their vault of Elder Scrolls. When the Empire fell, the order scattered and the scrolls were lost but they have made a comeback in recent years since the Doom of Valyria. The Valyrian freehold desire to have the scrolls for themselves so they tried to find the Order's location but they never found them. When the Doom happened, the Order settled in new lands and stay out of politics. From what I know, no one has been able to enter the Temple of the Ancestor Moth who is not a member of the order and the members are not allowed to say anything to Outsiders."

Viserys thought about that, these Elder Scrolls seemed powerful but trying to get one will be very difficult but whatever it took, the rewards would be worth the risk and Viserys smiled at the thought of using one of the scrolls.

Winterfell: The North:

Catelyn Stark watched from the balcony at Winterfell as his son Bran started sparring with Rodrik Cassel. It had taken a while but now Bran's legs had healed so now he was able to walk and fight just like he had done before his accident. Her other son Rickon sat on the sidelines watching. Catelyn knew that soon he would also have to learn how to find. But Catelyn was worried for several reasons; Bran was still having strange dreams which seemed to be similar to Old Nans tales of warging since Bran was saying that he dreamt of being in his Direwolf Summer's body. Rickon was having similar of being in Shaggydog's body. Catelyn didn't believe these stories but her children did and so did that Wildling Girl Osha, she claimed that there were Wildlings beyond the Wall who would warg into the bodies of animals. Bran also wasn't helped by the arrival of the Reed Children, the young son Jojen also claimed he could Warg and could see the future and said that Bran will play an important role in the future. Catelyn wanted to send them away but they were the children of one of her husband's closes friend, Howlend Reed. The Priestess Dancia had since returned back to the Sacred Grove of Kynareth in the North saying that she was no longer needed here.

"My Lady" a voice called and Catelyn turned to see Maester Luwin approaching with two Raven scrolls in his hands "We've had a few ravens, one from the North and the other from King's Landing"

"And what does the one from King's Landing say?" Catelyn asked with fear in her voice, she was scared that her oldest son Robb had been killed and his head now decorated a spike in the city.

Luwin noticed the fear in Lady Catelyn's voice "Fear not my Lady" he stated "The news is good, Martin had won the city and is now set to be crowned King. Robb is going to the city in order to swear fealty to him and then he will be coming home along with Sansa and Arya"

Catelyn sighed in relief that all her children were safe but saw that Luwin had a worried look on his face "What is the other message?" she asked

Luwin sighed "We've just had a Raven from Mors Umber" he stated "He says that the Night's Watch allowed thousands of Wildlings through the Wall and he wants us to do something."

Catelyn didn't know what to do, she knew little about the Night's Watch and the Wildlings and only her son could do something about them. She also knew that Lord Commander Mormont would never have allowed the Wildlings through the Wall unless there had been a reason and so she sighed "Send a message to Mors, tell him that until my son returns, there is little we can do. Also, tell him to try and be calm and not do anything rash"

"I will my lady" Luwin answered and he left to send the Raven while Catelyn looked back at her sons training with Rodrik

Kings Landing:

A crowd from the city had gathered at the courtyard of the Red Keep. Many of them were cheering for Martin and looked very hungry. Joffrey's rule had many of them starving and had little to eat; many had been beaten due to the brutal rule of Joffrey's Council. But now they were to see justice. Martin had asked Willas Tyrell to get food supplies to the city in order to get food to the people. Willas had also taken his father's body back to the city in order to be buried at Highgarden.

In the Courtyard, a platform had been constructed and Martin stood on the platform with his Blades standing guard. Behind him were a row of prisoners. These Prisoners included some of Joffrey's Councillors such as Gyles Rosby and Bennard Brune who had been ones that the people wanted to kill. Joffrey's remaining Kingsguard Meryn Trant and Osmund Kettleblack along with Andens and Ulrich were also prisoners.

Martin stepped forward "People of King's Landing" he called out "My brother has been defeated and now a new age had come to this city" the people began cheering for him, Martin had been very popular before and they were happy to have a man like him as their King "And my first act as King is to deal justice out for the people of this city. Many wrongs were committed under my brother's rule and that ends now" he then brought Gyles forward "This man Gyles Rosby enforced heavy taxes on you just to make more money to pay for my Brother. He allowed Guards to imprison those who couldn't pay and also have guards' rape women." Martin then turned to Bennard "And this man, Bennard Brune is just as guilty in allowing Guards to get away with Crimes." The people booed and hurled insults at them until Martin raised his hand to call for silence "Now I am not someone who just kills people but the crimes that these people have committed are too much for them to get away with. For their Crimes against the People of this city, both have been sentenced to die." He then turned to the two men "Do you have any last words?"

Gyles spat on the floor "Kill me and be done with it!" he spat

Bennard narrowed his eyes "These people are pests, they butchered my brother and deserved to be put down!" he snarled

Martin looked to the Legion Soldiers and nodded and the two men were forced to their knees. Then Martin's new King's Justice came along. With the death of Ilyn Payne during the Battle of King's Landing, Martin had named a new King's Justice and his choice had been an obvious one. The man he had chosen had brown skin and black hair that was braided; he wore black chainmail around his chest and fur trousers. His name was Ahtar and he was Martin's new King's Justice. Ahtar had been the first Dornishman to join the Legions and while a good fighter with a large axe, he was also very intimidating and was named the Chief Jailor of the Legions. Throughout the war, Ahtar had been the one in charge of prisoners who had been captured and would have been the one responsible for executions. Now he would be the King's Justice and Head Jailor of King's Landing. Ahtar walked next to Gyles and then he raised his axe. Then the axe fell and Gyles' head was severed from his body in one clean chop. Then he did the same for Bennard.

With the two executions done, the guards then brought forward Andens and Ulrich "These two captains are soldiers that I trusted, they were meant to keep the people of this city safe but instead they took bribes, intimidated merchants to take money and they murdered the previous commanders of the City Watch." Martin called out and the people once again started shouting for execution, "However, while they should be executed with what they did, I have another idea for them. The Night's Watch is calling for skilled fighters and so I exile these two to spend the rest of their days as sworn Brothers of the Night's Watch." He then turned to Joffrey's former Kingsguard "These two members of the Kingsguard will also go" Martin then narrowed his eyes at them "Make sure you keep your vows or else you will be executed" he hissed at the four men and then he turned to the Blades "Take them away"

Delphine and the Blades took the four disgraced men and dragged them to the harbour where they would be taken by a ship to Eastwatch where they would become brothers of the Night's Watch.

Red Keep Bedroom:

Tyrion Lannister groaned as he woke up but he found it hard to due to the light. But eventually his eyes adjusted to the light. He looked around and saw that he was in a bedroom but there was one person in the room. The person was a woman wearing a brown robe and had short pale brown hair, Tyrion recognised her as Colette Marence, Martin's personal Healer. Colette turned around when she heard a groan

"Oh, Tyrion, I see that you've woken up" she stated as she went over to Tyrion

Tyrion looked at her "So what happened during the Battle?" he asked

Colette smiled "Martin Baratheon won a great victory" she claimed "Not only did we defeat King Joffrey but we saved the City from the Daedric Cult. I have been very busy helping the injured soldiers, you included but thankfully, my Healing Magic was able to heal most wounds, some just needed some rest. We all fought hard in that war."

Tyrion managed to sit up "Will I be able to see my squire and Bronn?" he asked

Colette nodded "Podrick has been worried about you ever since he saved your life. He carried you from the Battlefield here and Martin was worried that you would not make it. But he will be happy to know that you'll live. Bronn is fine as well, he's a real hero and everyone is treating him like one. He took down the Daedric Titan and is enjoying the attention he's getting. Though it would have been nice if he didn't try flirting with me all the time."

Tyrion managed to get out of the bed and stand up though he was a bit wobbly on his legs "I should go and see Martin, he will be needing my help"

Colette nodded "Martin hasn't been crowned King yet but he will be soon. He would like to see everyone so he can talk about creating his new Council"

Tyrion nodded "I guess I better go and see him them and help him however I can" he stated as he left the room.

Shornhelm: Rivenspire:

Daenerys rode through the Gates of Shornhelm on a horse that she had been given alongside Jorah and Farengar. The portal had taken them to the town of Hoarfrost Downs which was just east of the city of Shornhelm. Daenerys had then rode back to the city. As they entered the city, they saw that the people of the city were out of their homes and cheering on the streets. The parts of the city which had been destroyed during the attack were being rebuilt as people were starting to repair the damage.

"When the war is over, the people cheer the victors" Jorah stated as he came next to Daenerys "Many of them are just happy that they are no longer at any risk"

Farengar looked at Daenerys "These people have been through a lot during this war since Montclair was being used by the Mythic Dawn" he stated "Now they will want revenge against those who have wronged them" some of these people were refugees from the war who had lost loved ones to the Mythic Dawn's rituals. Daenerys looked behind them to see her former Handmaiden Doreah being dragged behind the horses with several guards surrounding her to prevent her from running. Unlike Daenerys, when Doreah past, the people hurled insults and threw rotten fruit at them. Normally Daenerys wouldn't want that but Farengar had told her not to say anything as these people were angered but the rulers would decide Doreah's fate.

Daenerys was angered that Doreah had betrayed her but she was happy that her three dragons were okay and they were currently in their small cages to prevent them from harming anyone.

Eventually they all made it to the Upper District of Shornhelm where they went towards the Royal Palace of Shornhelm. Of all the areas of the city, this District had been hit the hardest during the attack but since many families had money, they had been able to pay to fix the damage.

Daenerys dismounted her horse along with Jorah and Farengar and they took Doreah into the Palace where the court was waiting for them. Daenerys saw Baron Dorell along with Countess Tamrith standing near the throne while Damien and Skordo were standing among the crowd that had gathered in the palace. Just like the crowd outside, this crowd also cheered for them. Standing in front of the throne was High King Emeric himself.

Emeric smiled as Daenerys approached him "Ah, Lady Daenerys" he greeted "I see that you did what I asked you to do" he stated "And I believe that you shall be rewarded for your service. You shall be granted some land which will allow you to live your life in peace"

"Thank you High King Emeric" Daenerys smiled "But I have worries about this Mythic Dawn, they've already come after me twice and they might try again"

Emeric sighed "I will have to have everyone watch out for this cult" he stated "And we might be able to get some information from your former handmaiden if you let us"

Daenerys looked at Doreah who just glared at her and then Daenerys looked back at Emeric "You can do what you wish with her" she stated "She tried to steal my dragons and now she will pay the price. I don't care what happens to her"

"Very well" Emeric stated and two guards took hold of Doreah's arms and dragged her away kicking and screaming.

"The Mythic Dawn will destroy you!" she shouted "You haven't heard the last of us. Dawn is Breaking and Lord Dagon will destroy you"

Doreah was silenced as she was dragged away and Emeric looked at Daenerys "I have one last favour to ask you" he stated "And don't worry, it's nothing big. You've already done so much for me but I must ask you to help me name a new ruler of Shornhelm. It's clear that creating a council was what started this problem, I cannot allow that."

Daenerys looked at Farengar and Jorah "What do you two think?" she asked "Who should I name as King of Shornhelm"

"Well Tamrith seems like a leader who cares for her people" Farengar claimed "These lands will need time to recover after the war and Tamrith is the best person for the job"

"I agree with Farengar but if the Mythic Dawn return then we need a leader who can lead armies" Jorah added "Dorell seems like the best person to lead armies into battle but it's your choice"

Daenerys thought, both Jorah and Farengar made good points but Daenerys cared about the people and knew that this region needed some time to recover and so she looked at Emeric "I name Countess Tamrith as the new Queen of Shornhelm and Rivenspire" she stated

Countess Tamrith stepped forward "I thank you all for electing me as the new Queen" she stated "I will do my best to help this region rebuild after the war." The people began cheering for their new Queen

Baron Dorell looked at her "I'm not going to fight the decision that was made" he stated "Our new Queen will have my support. Now I should be returning to Northpoint and help my own region recover from the war and also undo the damage that my foolish son created."

Everyone carried on cheering while Daenerys just smiled at the fact that she now had a place to call home.

Castle Black: The Wall:

Tensions were high at Castle Black. A small group of Umber troops had arrived at the Wall and it seemed that a fight might break out. Of all the houses in the North, House Umber had been the ones to fight the Wildlings the most since they were the closest large settlement to the Wall. The Umbers joined the fight with House Stark against the brother Kings beyond the Wall Gendel and Gorne three thousand years ago and Lord Harmond Umber helped Willam and Artos Stark defeat King Raymund Redbeard at the Battle of Long Lake. Many years of fighting Wildlings have made House Umber hate Wildlings a lot since they were often subjected to Wildling raids.

But this was also personal. The man who was leading the small force of Umber troops was Mors Umber, the uncle of Greatjon Umber. Mors had a personal hatred of Wildlings since his daughter was kidnapped during a Wildling raid. Mors Umber was an old but huge and power man with a ruddy face and a shaggy white beard. His left eye was replaced with a small chunk of Dragonglass and he wore a large cloak made of a snowbear's skin with it's head as a hood. Mors had lost his eye while he was sleeping at the side of the road when a crow had pecked his eye thinking he was dead and Mors had bitten the crow's head off which gave him the nickname Mors Crowfood. Mors also had no family other than his brother Hother and the GreatJon family because his wife had died in childbirth and his sons were killed during the Battle of the Trident.

Right now, Mors Umber was in the Lord Commander's office with Grandmaster Isran and Jon Snow with him. Mance Rayder was somewhere else so they didn't provoke Mors.

"The Wall has kept these savages out of the wall for thousands of years" Mors snarled "We've fought the King beyond the Wall six times and House Umber played an important role in those fights. Now you just let King through the Wall without a fight and he happened to have been a deserter. How can you have done this?"

"We didn't have much of a choice" Mormont stated "I admit I'm not too fond of Wildlings myself but sometimes the enemy of my enemy is my friend and enemies unite against the bigger threat. The Wall was not built to keep out Wildlings; it was built to keep something bigger out."

"You mean those legends of the Long Night and the White Walkers?" Mors questioned "I'm from the North and I've heard all these legends but no one has seen a White Walker in thousands of years if they do exist."

"For some time we've seen an increase in Wildlings climbing over the wall trying to escape" Mormont stated "And there was an increase in desertion from the watch and some of these were people who have been in the Watch for years. And there were disappearances beyond the wall which were increasing."

"But what does this have to do with the White Walkers?" Mors questioned

"Everything" Isran stated "We've seen the White Walkers themselves along with their undead army at the Fist of the First Men. We were attacked by an army of undead and we would have died if not for the Wildlings, thanks to Jon Snow, he convinced them to help us."

Jon then carried on "And we have proof that will convince you and prove that this story is true" he stated and then the door opened and Jon watched as Tormund and Ygritte brought in the Wight that they had captured. Several members of the Night's Watch and Dawnguard were with them to prevent the Wight from escaping. The Wight's head was currently covered with a cloth bag which Tormund removed and the Wight's skeleton head started snarling at Mors and managed to break free from Ygritte, knocking him to the floor. But Tormund jumped on top of it before it attacked. The wight made undead screeched and shook around until Tormund with help from Jon managed to shove it back into a wooden create.

Mors only stared in shock at the Wight, for years he had heard the tales of the Long Night but even he had trouble believing these tales. But now he had just seen proof right in front of him "By the Old Gods, I can't believe that that's a real Wight"

"It is" Isran stated "And now you can see why we let the Wildlings through as many more of those things would have been created so we had to do something"

Mors stared at the crate where the Wight had been placed and he looked at Commander Mormont "Can they be killed?" he asked

"Even the best Castle Forged steel is useless against them." Mormont claimed "The only way to kill them is with fire or by Dragonglass."

"Wait, how can Dragonglass be useful against these Wights?" Mors questioned

"There may be a connection between the White Walkers and the Wights" Isran claimed "Dragonglass and Valyrian Steel can kill White Walkers and when we killed two at the Fist, many Wights collapsed and were destroyed, all except or the one we have here"

Mors now knew what he had to do, as much as he hated Wildlings, he knew that there was no choice now and so he looked at Mormont "Just make sure that these Wildlings don't raid any lands otherwise I will be forced to send soldiers to stop them"

"Mance has stated that any Wildling who raids will be executed" Mormont stated

"Just make sure that they do that" Mors hissed and then he left allowing Mormont to let out a relieved sigh

"Well that went well" he sated

"Mors is right" Isran stated "If any of Mance's people cause trouble then it might create even more problems"

"We'll just have to hope that the Wight can convince people not to fight the Free Folk" Jon added

"In the meantime, I need to start trying to get access to the Dragonglass on Dragonstone" Mormont claimed and then he too left the office in order to look for Maester Aemon in order to send a raven to King's Landing.

Pyke: Iron Islands:

Balon Greyjoy stood in the Great Hall alongside his brothers Victorian and Aeron. They were discussion what to do now.

"What are we going to do brother?" Victorian asked "This war is over now, I say that we stop raiding while we have the chance and maybe the new King Martin won't invade us"

"I'm not swearing fealty to a boy especially a boy who happens to be the son of the man who invade our islands!" Balon growled

"I'm not saying that" Victorian stated "I'm just saying that we lay low for now and if we try again to rise up, we wait for the right time"

"If not now when?" Aeron demanded "The Seven Kingdoms have just been through a Civil War, they will be weak"

"Weakened yes but not defeated" Victorian stated "It won't take long for Martin's armies to recover and then if we carry on raiding, he will invade us. After the Dance of the Dragons, Dalton Greyjoy carried on raiding and as soon as he was killed, we were attacked by the Westerlands. They may not have a navy but Martin does. Also when Dagon Greyjoy was raiding, nothing was done was Aerys I was weak and Bloodraven was more worried about the Blackfryes than us."

"So what do we do?" Balon demanded

"Just lay low for a while and maybe they will release Yara" Victorian claimed "I love being the commander of the Iron Fleet and I love reaving but I don't want to see these islands destroyed. And maybe we can still raid but just not around Westeros. There are many other lands we can raid and we can do it without bother. The Basilisk Islands are full of pirates that we can fight without bothering anyone. I wouldn't recommend certain places in the Free Cities as it might cause trouble due to trade but maybe around Slavers Bay, that's a good place for plunder"

Balon growled "Fine, I'll stop all raiding around Westeros but I will won't bend the knee." He looked at the Maester "Send the Raven" he ordered

Red Keep: King's Landing:

Tyrion Lannister walked into the Small Council Chambers where he saw his nephew Martin sat at the head of the table along with other people. These included Tyrion's father Tywin Lannister, Joffrey's Master of Whisperers Varys, Martin's sister Alessia, Stannis Baratheon, General Tullius and also Randyl Tarly and Grandmaster Delphine of the Blades.

"Uncle Tyrion" Martin greeted

"My King" Tyrion greeted

Martin laughed "Actually, I haven't been crowned yet, we're waiting for Robb Stark to arrive before we have the coronation. But I have decided to start creating my council before that."

"And we are all wondering on who you will name as your Hand of the King" Stannis stated

Martin sighed "Actually, I'm not going to name a Hand" he stated which made the people especially Tywin and Stannis gasp "The Hand of the King handles the day to day duties of the realm. However, I have decided that as the new King, I'll be handling that. I don't want someone else to do my job, I just need good advisors." He looked at Tywin and Stannis "Also, the best choices for Hand are needed elsewhere; Stannis is needed back in the Stormlands since they need their lord while the Westerlands will need Tywin to help keep order after the war."

"As you command," Tywin stated "But there is something I wanted to ask you"

Martin looked at him "And what would that be?" he asked

"I would like to ask if I can foster your brother Tommen at Casterly Rock." He stated "I can help him become the heir to the Westerlands and it would help if he got away from his mother. He's a good boy but he spends too much time being with his mother and that's not good for him as it makes him soft."

Martin knew that Tyrion would have meant to become the new Lord of the Rock but Tywin would never allow that and he had plans for the Kingsguard but Jaime would also never accept Casterly Rock so he nodded "Very well" he stated "I'll tell Tommen that he'll be going with you to Casterly Rock." He then looked at the other people "And I need to start naming new people to the Council. The only one that won't change will be Varys who will keep his position as Master of Whisperers; he's the only member of Joffrey's court who cared for the wellbeing of the realm"

"I will do my best to serve you," Varys stated

Martin then carried on "Grandmaester Pycelle will no longer be our Grandmaester, he broke his Maester vows and he also betrayed Aerys II. So I will be writing to the Citadel in order to find a new Grand Maester. As for the Master of Ships, I have decided on naming Aurane Waters, he led ships during the Civil War and is a good sailor, he will be perfect for the role. I'll be sending a raven to Driftmark. For the Master of laws I have an idea but it will need to wait. But I do have an idea for the Master of coin"

Tyrion looked at him "And who might that be?" he questioned "I heard that Willas Tyrell did a good job"

Martin sighed "With the death of Lord Mace Tyrell, Willas will now be the new lord of Highgarden and Warden of the Reach. Garlen and Loras are letter fighters than lords so Willas will become the new Warden. Also, Alessia has requested permission to marry him, they have been in a relationship for years and I have approved the match, Willas and Alessia will be marrying shortly after I become King and Willas had buried his father."

Everyone approved of the match, having the Tyrell's linked to the Iron Throne was a good way of keeping stability since they produced the most food in the Seven Kingdoms. They were also the second richest region in the Seven Kingdoms.

Tyrion the added "So who will be the new Master of Coin?" Tyrion knew the answer to the question as soon as he saw everyone staring at him "You're kidding right"

Martin shook his head "No Tyrion, I'm not. You were always good with money"

"Good at spending it" Tyrion corrected "a lifetime of luxury hasn't taught me anything about managing it"

"You have a great mind, use it," Martin stated, "I doubt that you will let me down, you didn't during the war" he then looked at the other advisors "Since I'm disbanding the Kingsguard and replacing them with the Blades, Grandmaster Delphine will have a place on the council and I will be creating two new positions. The first will be the Master of Trade, this position will be responsible for handling trade both within the Seven Kingdoms and also our trade with the Free Cities. I have decided to name my ally Thonar Silver Blood as the Master of Trade. He handled the small settlement near Cloud Ruler for years and so he will be good at helping trade. And for the final position, this may be only a temporary position but in times like this, it will be needed. This position will be the Master of War who will be responsible for helping build the armies. I would have named Tullius be he hates politics" General Tullius nodded at that "And he will also be needed to help train the Legion soldiers that are training so I will name Lord Randyl Tarly as the Master of War."

Randyl nodded "I would be honoured my King" he stated "I will do my best to serve you in times like this"

Tywin looked at him "And this idea for the Master of Laws, how will it be"

Martin looked at Tyrion "During the war, Tyrion sent a letter to Dorne. Myrcella was to marry Prince Trystane, they would get a seat on the Small Council and I would grant them justice for the death of Elia Martell. Amory Lorch was already given to them but Gregor Clegane is still out there. If he is found, he will be arrested and given to Dorne. I have already written a letter to Dorne saying that the war is over and they are welcomed to travel to King's Landing and send whoever they want as Master of Laws, I also requested Myrcella be allowed to come so that I can see her along with Tommen before he leaves for Casterly Rock."

Tywin agreed on that "And what of Jaime?" he questioned

Martin sighed "Even though I am disbanding the Kingsguard, Jaime has stated that he doesn't want to become Lord of Casterly Rock and so he asked to join the Blades. Grandmaster Delphine accepted but he will be going to Cloud Ruler so he can train in the Blades style of fighting and also learn about the Blades history." Martin then looked around "Well now that our council is established, we need to talk about the coronation. I don't want it to be too fancy because this kingdom has just been through a Civil War. It will be simple and then we can focus on rebuilding." The council all nodded in agreement.

"There is one thing I would like to say" Delphine stated "Pycelle is no longer getting ravens so I went to check and I got one from Castle Black" she handed the letter to Martin who read it.

Martin widened his eyes "So they really did encounter the White Walkers and Wights beyond the Wall" he sighed "This is going to make things even worse"

Tywin looked at him "Before I would have dismissed such tales but after seeing those Daedric forces, I would be as dismissive"

Martin read on "It seems that Dragonglass and Valyrian Steel had destroy White Walkers" he added "They're asking for us for any that we can spare"

Stannis nodded "Valyrian Steel is hard to come by but there is a Mountain of Dragonglass on Dragonstone. They are welcomed to it"

"I've send some of my miners to help mine it" Tywin stated since the Westerlands were built on mining

Martin nodded "Now since there is nothing else to discuss, we need to make preparations for my coronation"

Sunspear: Dorne:

Princess Myrcella walked into the throne room at Sunspear along with her betrothed Trystane Martell. She saw Prince Doran Martell sat on his chair with Aero Hotah. Prince Oberyn and his oldest daughters Obara, Nymeria and Tyene were also in the room as well.

"Princess" Doran greeted "I guess you are wondering why I asked to see you?"

"I am" Myrcella stated and then Doran smiled and then he nodded to Oberyn who handed Myrcella a letter. Doran would have done it but he couldn't stand. Myrcella looked at the letter and gasped "Martin has taken the capital"

"He has" Doran stated "Now he is keeping his promise and has given us permission to send someone to represent Dorne on the Small Council as Master of Laws. Prince Oberyn will be going with his oldest daughters. Martin has also asked that you be allowed to go along to get the chance to have a family reunion since it may be the last time for a while. I am allowing you along with Trystane to go and Trystane will be able to meet his soon to be brother in law."

"Thank you father" Trystane stated

Doran smiled "Now I think you should all go off an begin packing." He stated and then everyone left to begin packing their bags.

Unknown Location:

A couple of people walked through some hallways in an old ruin with a bucket of water. They soon came to a cell where there was a single person in the room. One started laughing as he threw the bucket of water over him causing the prisoner to wake up.

"Take at look at him" the man stated "He looks like a total wreck, I don't know why the boss even bothered with him"

The prisoner in question was wearing torn clothes and his hair was covered in filth, but the feature that made him stand out was his missing eye and missing hand. He coughed before glaring at the men "How dare you do this to me!" he snapped "I am the King, you can't treat me like this. I'll have your heads on spikes" This was indeed the former King Joffrey only now he looked nothing like the arrogant brat who had once sat on the throne.

The guards laughed "He still thinks that he is the King. That new brat took the throne so there's a new King." One stated

The other pulled out some large chains "The boss wants a word with you" they entered the cell and dragged Joffrey up since he was too weak to walk and they placed the chains on him and then they dragged him from the cell.

Red Keep:

Martin entered a room that was currently guarded by two members of the Blades. The room was nicely decorated with the best furniture that money could buy. Sitting at a small table was Martin's mother Cersei, she had been drinking more as she had expensive Dornish wine with her and she had put on a bit of weight.

Cersei glared at Martin as he entered the room "So now you decide to take my last son from me?" she demanded "Tommen is too young to leave, he needs his mother."

"Tommen is not going to be a boy forever" Martin hissed "He's a nice boy but wars are coming and he needs to be ready. Do you want to see him get murdered just because he can't fight? Tywin can help him become the man he needs to be."

Cersei just glared at Martin "First Myrcella is married to a family that hates us, then Joffrey is lost to us and now I'm losing Tommen."

Martin glared back "This whole problem was all your fault in the first place" Martin hissed "I didn't reveal the truth about what you did with Jaime because I loved Tommen and Myrcella but if you had actually taught Joffrey how to rule properly, none of this would have happened. I warned you time and time again that coddling Joffrey would have made him think that he could get away with everything. It's no surprise that many people turned against him and you've shown that you are incapable of ruling. Since you are my mother, I will allow you to live in luxury, but you have lost all political power and you will have no say in how I rule this realm. Also, if Joffrey is found, he will have a trial for the crimes he committed against the people." Martin then left the room leaving Cersei alone who then threw an empty goblet against a wall in anger.

Cloud Ruler:

Apprentice Samwell Tarly entered the Library of Cloud Ruler Temple; Loremaster Esbern had called him as there was something important that he wanted to say. The Library was located within the West Wing of the castle and there were many books on the many bookcases, some of these tomes were very rare and very expensive these days and a few of them were even banned by the Faith of the Seven. Sam had spent most of his time reading these books as he just loved the knowledge that he learnt but even so, he still wasn't allowed access to the other Library which was deeper below the Temple as it was reserved for higher members of the Blades and Sam was just an Apprentice.

He eventually found Loremaster Esbern sitting on a chair with a Raven Scroll in his hand, Esbern was also like the Maester for Cloud Ruler since Martin didn't real trust a Maester who would dismiss the ideas of the Blades. "You asked to see me Loremaster" Sam stated

Esbern looked at Sam "I did indeed young Apprentice" he said "I have some news for you, please, have a seat" Sam sat on a chair just opposite Esbern "We have received a Raven from King's Landing, the war is over and now Martin is King. But I am needed in King's Landing to help the King so now I've decided to hand my position here over to you. You will now handle the Raven's messages and you are allowed accessed to the other Library." Sam widened his eyes at that, now he would be allowed to see the books that he had not been allowed to see before. Esbern smiled at Sam's happiness "But before I leave, I just need you to help me gather a few books from the Library."

Loremaster Esbern led Sam down a large hallway which went underground until they came to another door. This door was then opened by Esbern and another member of the Blades and Sam was able to see that this extra Library was filled with just as many books as the main Library but many of these texts seemed to have a dark feeling around them.

"Some of these texts talk about forbidden Magic such as Necromancy" Esbern stated "They're kept here to keep them out of the hands of people who would use them against the people. But don't worry, we're not here for them, I just need to gather some texts about Daedric Cults, they might come in handy" Esbern led Sam over to one of the Bookcases and had to get a ladder so he could reach the books he wanted. Sam held the ladder while Esbern walked up so he could get the texts he wanted. Esbern got some books called the Commentaries down from the shells along with some other large tomes which seemed to be about the ambitions of Daedric Cults and their history. They also packed what looked like a large journal. After Sam helped Esbern pack all the books, he noticed something in the back of the Library which got his attention so he walked over to it. It was a large glass cabinet that had a very large decorative scroll in it. For some reason, Sam was drawn to it and Esbern noticed it "I wouldn't bother thinking about reading that Sam" he stated as he walked over "That item is one thing that you are forbidden to touch"

Sam looked at him "Just what is this thing"

Esbern looked at him "This is an Elder Scroll, an ancient Scroll of power from the time of the Septim Empire. These Scrolls tell prophecies and can also hold ancient power, in the wrong hands they can do a lot of damage which is why it is kept under tight security. 2 different keys are needed and even then without the King's Signet ring the case won't open. Even then, none of us can read it, if we tried then it would blind us so it's best just left alone. Now I need your help to prepare my Horse to travel, I'll be travelling with the Silver Bloods to the Capital" Sam then left with Esbern and they began to help him prepare for his trip to King's Landing.

Stormhaven:

High King Emeric travelled in front of a convoy which included some of his men as they headed home from the recent war in Rivenspire. The celebrations in Shornhelm were over and now the High King was travelling back to Wayrest. Daenerys rode with Emeric alongside Jorah and Farengar. Rakharo led the remaining Dothraki behind them along with Damien. Skordo had decided to remain in Rivenspire to help rebuild. Emeric had said that he was taking them to the land that he was going to give Daenerys.

They soon came to a large castle which looked like it had seen battle "This is what I'm granting you" Emeric said to Daenerys "This castle may need a bit of work but we can help you as the reward"

Daenerys stared at the castle, it was much larger than what she expected and she decided she wanted to know the history "So what is the history of this place?" she asked

Emeric sighed "This castle is Firebrand Keep." He said "It was the headquarters of the Knights of the Flame, an order of Knights here in Stormhaven. Everyone thought they could trust them but during the war years ago, many members of the order betrayed us. Their leader, Ser Hughes betrayed us at Alcaire castle and killed my sister in law Duchess Lakana, the wife of my brother Nathaniel. Hughes along with Ser Corix opened the gates and allowed the Qarth army through just like what happened at the city of Taneth. The Knights became divided and many turned on their leaders and were led by Ser Edmund. He recaptured the Keep and sent the two traitors back to Wayrest where they were executed. After the war, people lost faith in the Knights of the Flame so many of them joined the Fighters Guild but sadly; Edmund was killed during the war during the Battle to retake Taneth."

"That's quite some tale" Jorah stated

"This castle hasn't been used in some time but there's plenty of wildlife around here for your dragons so they won't bother the people or scare them. Dragons are a sign of danger around here so they'll be safe." Emeric stated

Daenerys smiled "Thank you for all you've done" she said "And when you take my traitor Handmaiden back to Wayrest, do what you want with her, she's no longer my handmaiden"

Emeric nodded "She will most likely be executed but after what she did to you, I guess you won't miss her"

Daenerys shook her head "I won't, she betrayed me and so she has to pay the consequences for her actions."

Emeric nodded "I've leave you to help you get settled in your new home." He stated "And if you ever need my help, you just need to send a message to Wayrest." Emeric rode off with his men while Daenerys smiled as she looked at her new home. Her Dragons flew onto her shoulders as she smiled as now, she finally had a place that she could live, sure she had made a home with the Dothraki but that was gone so now she had a place where she could live her life in peace.

King's Landing: Red Keep: Throne Room:

Robb Stark had finally arrived at King's Landing to attend Martin's coronation as King of Westeros. This was the first time that Robb had ever set foot in the city and he did expect the condition to be bad due to the Battle but it was clear that the City had suffered due to Joffrey's brutal rule but the people looked hopeful for a time of peace after the brutal battle.

Many of the important people from around Westeros had arrived as Martin himself sat on the Iron Throne with the Blades next to him. He was now dressed in fine clothes in Black and yellow, the colours of House Baratheon. The new High Septon who had been named after the death of the previous one in the riots of King's Landing stood next to Martin. Martin may be a believer in the Nine Divines but it was the High Septon who crowned the King, Martin hoped that his religious beliefs didn't cause any trouble. High Priest Rorlund, the head priest in the King's Landing temple was among the crowd that had gathered to watch as Martin was crowned along with Princess Alessia who stood with Tommen. Cersei was not among the crowd.

"On this new day, a new King sits upon the throne" The High Septon said as everyone stood in silence "May the Seven Guild him in his rule, may the Father Protect him from danger, may the Mother protect his family, may the Warrior grant him courage and protect him in these perilous times. May the Crone grant him wisdom and show him the path that lies ahead. May the Maiden bless him with a family that he creates for the future. May the Smith grant him strength that he may wear this new crown."

Every King had a crown and Martin had chosen his crown, being a warrior, he wanted a crown to show that he was a warrior and due to his beliefs, he had chosen to use the Jagged Crown as his crown as King, it was made from dragon bones and teeth and he liked it as it was ancient. If he had the chance, he would have chosen King Aegon I's crown since Valyrian Steel was strong but that crown had been lost since the Second Dornish war after the death of King Daeron I. Another Warrior Crowd had been King Maekar's with his gold band with Iron Spikes.

Some crowns had been very decorative such as Aenys' I who had a very large decorative crown and Jaehaerys I who had a gold band with seven coloured jewels. Aegon III had a simple gold band while the most decorative crown had been Aegon IV's large heavy red gold crown with dragon head spikes with ruby eyes. King Robert had a crown that looked like a Stag's antlers while Joffrey had a decorative crown with rubies and black diamonds.

The High Septon then placed the crown on Martin's head "In the light of the Seven, I proclaim Martin of House Baratheon, 1st of him name, King of the Andals, the Rhoynar and The First Men. Lord of the Seven Kingdoms and Protector of the Realm. Long may he reign"

"Long may he reign" everyone shouted and then they all cheered until Martin raised his hands for silence.

"Now that I am King, it is time for a new age to be brought to these lands" Martin said "Many Kings before have acted only in their own interests rather than the interests of their Kingdom. I will not be like that, our lands have been ravaged by war but we will rebuild. But the real fight is only just beginning, what happened with that strange Portal during the battle was just the start. The people behind it are still out there and are still a danger to us. We will hunt them down along with anyone else who threatens our realm. I won't lie, this isn't going to be easy but as long as we remain united, we will survive it" the people cheered at that until Martin silenced them again "There are a few things I would like to announce, there were Heroes in the Battle and they need to be rewarded. Bronn, step forward."

Tyrion's Sellsword friend stepped forward and Tyrion watched him go "Your Grace" he stated

Martin looked at him "During the Battle, you managed to take down the Daedric Titan and prevent it from causing further damage, which means that you've more than earned your reward. You have been rewarded with a Knighthood but there's more. You were promised lands and a wife and I keep my promises. With House Rosby now extinct since Gyles Rosby was executed and having no children, his family lands are granted to you including the town of Rosby. And as for a while, Lord Rykker has given you pick from his daughters."

Bronn gasped as that was better than what he expected and knelt "Your Grace, I will never forget this, I will serve you loyal"

Martin laughed "I look forward to working with you again." He stated and then he nodded "Bring them in" Several Blades entered the room and brought in the Sellswords that had been hired to fight for Joffrey led by Bloodbeard "These people were Sellswords that fought for my brother during the war" many people glared at them but Martin then added "But they only fought because they were paid to and so have no loyalty to him. For that, I hereby release them but they must return to Essos. I hope we never cross paths again."

Bloodbeard just snorted as his chains were released and he looked at Martin "And I hope we never cross paths either" he hissed "Let's go men, our work here is done"

They then stormed out leaving Stannis shaking his head in disgust "Sellswords!" he hissed "Loyal only to gold."

Then the doors opened and then the man known as Travis Thresh walked in who bowed in front of the King "Admiral Travis here once fought for Joffrey because he was promised aid with his war in Essos but left when he finally learnt the truth and turned to me. Like I said before, I keep my promises and he will have aid from us. However we can't aid you openly as it would damage our relationship with the Free Cities but we can still give you aid through the shadows."

"Any type of Aid is welcome" Travis stated "Many people will be able to live a happier life thanks to you."

Martin nodded and then he looked for the court to carry on and then a small group of people from the Vale walked in. They were led by the leader of the Fourth Legion, Gonnar Oath Giver and also included Yohn Royce and a small group of Legion soldiers. They dragged in three prisoners which included Petyr Baelish, Lysa Arryn and her son Robin.

Yohn knelt in front of him "Your Grace, the Vale is yours"

"Stand" Martin stated and Yohn rose to his legs "You've done the realm a great service in capturing these wanted Criminals."

Lysa tried to fight but was pulled back and Mychel Redfort looked at him "So what will happen to them?" he asked

Martin looked at them "Young Robin is innocent in this and will be spared, but due to his condition, he won't be able to rule the Vale. The closest relative to the Arryns is Harrold Hardyng so he will be the new ruler of the Vale. Baelish and Lysa will have a trial and their fate will be in the hands of those who judge them. Robin will be given as a ward to Lord Royce"

"I will look after the boy" Yohn stated

"Good" Martin said and he looked at the guards "Take the traitors to the Black Cells" the guards dragged Baelish along with Lysa who was kicking and screaming. When the Court dealings were finished, Mychel stayed behind after most people left as he wanted to ask Martin something.

"Your Grace" he said "There is one thing I wanted to ask you. I nearly died during the war when Corbray betrayed you but I was saved by your Half Sister. After spending some time together we've grown close." He then made a deep breath "I want to ask you for permission to marry Mya Stone"

Martin was surprised at that "I didn't think your father would allow that?"

Mychel sighed "He didn't, I chose to leave because of it. I want to marry Mya and then maybe we'll settle in the new town you've been building."

Martin looked at Mychel and saw that he did indeed love Mya "Okay" he said "I will allow you to marry Mya"

Mychel smiled at him and then bowed before he left the room.

Castle Black: The Wall:

Jon Snow along with Grandmaster Isran, Lord Commander Mormont and Mance Rayder sat around a table as they started talking about plans "I need to help my people settle into the Lands of the Gift" Mance stated "I need to make sure that there are no problems with the people who already live in the lands"

Jon knew that Mance was right, the Lands of the Gift had been attacked for years and there were many people who hated the people beyond the wall. House Umber had stopped their plans after seeing the Wight but the common people weren't as easy to convince.

Isran looked at them "We've had a raven from King's Landing and we've been allowed to use the Dragonglass from Dragonstone."

"That should allow us to create more weapons to fight the White Walkers" Mormont stated "But I'm still worried that it's not going to be enough."

"We'll just have to make sure that the realm is ready" Jon stated "It's great that Martin is King as he is just the right person who can help us, he's already preparing the Realm for the war but he has other problems"

Mance looked at them "I just hope that when the army of the Dead arrive at the Wall, we'll be ready. This Wall is strong but they may find a way to get through."

"And they still can increase their army" Jon added "We may have prevented them from getting the main Wildling force but there still will be others beyond the Wall who were not as lucky and they can still get the Dragur and Skeletons from those Ancient Tombs."

Everyone nodded and agreed that these Dragur would be a problem as well but right now, they just had to increase the size of their own forces and try to make sure that the Realm was ready.

Unknown Location:

Joffrey was dragged into a large room where a man was sitting on a large throne that was made from bones. The room was Dark but it was filled with torches that were on fire only these flames were blue. The man who sat on the Throne wore a long black robe with a Red Skull stitched on and wore a crown that was made from bones. Joffrey saw that he had long pale grey hair so he was very old and he also had golden skin and pointy ears.

Joffrey glared at the man "I am the King of Westeros, I demand that you let me go!"

The man laughed at him "I don't see a King, I see a failure of a man who has now lost everything" he pointed to Joffrey's missing eye and missing hand. "But maybe you can change that if you join me"

"Join you?" Joffrey demanded "Just who are you?"

The man stood up "My name is Mannimarco though most call me the King of Worms" he stated "I am the leader of the Worm Cult and with the help of our master Molag Bal, we shall take over this world and you can help us if you agree to join us"

Joffrey looked at him "And who would be the King if I agreed?"

Mannimarco sneered at him "You would rule Westeros." He stated "But it's not just Westeros we will rule, it will be Essos as well. You can be immortal if you agree but you will need Training first."

Then another man entered the room "I agreed to join so that I could rule Casterly Rock" he stated and Joffrey looked at him "I am related to you but I'm a very distant relative. My name is Reginald Lannister, the head of House Lannister of Lannisport and one day, lord of Casterly Rock."

"We have other members from Noble Houses who are members of the Cult" Mannimarco stated "Join us Joffrey and you shall rule this world till the End of Time"

Joffrey smirked and then nodded "I agree" he stated "I will bring my brother to his knees and take everything he loves"

Mannimarco smirked and then broke Joffrey's chains "You will need training to learn this power so it will take time before you are ready. But before we do, here's a little gift from me" he waved his hand and then a large Jaguar entered the room growling. Joffrey smirked when he saw that it was his pet Jaguar Hearteater.

Red Keep: King's Landing:

Arya Stark was Robb Stark along with Beric Dondarrion and the other members of his group of the Resistance. Robb had sworn fealty to Martin and had then told him that he was marrying Jeyne Westerling. Martin was worried about Walder Frey's reaction to that but Robb said that he would marry his oldest son to a member of House Frey and Martin agreed to help appease Walder by letting his family rule Harrenhal. Martin was worried because of Harrenhal's location but decided that he would have Delphine have Blades agents inside the castle in order to keep an eye on them

"So you want to come back with us?" Robb said

"We're both going to the North" Beric stated "So we might as well travel with each other. You along with your sisters are returning to Winterfell."

"And why are you travelling to the North?" Arya asked "I thought that you would be returning back to the Stormlands?"

"Cold Winds are rising in the North and the Lord of Light has said that we must do our part to help" Thoros stated "We'll be travelling to the Wall to help the Night's Watch and the Dawnguard, they're going to need all the help they can get."

Robb nodded "Alright, you can come with us." He then turned to the door "Now I have to have a little word, Martin said that his sister wanted to have a quick word with us."

Robb and Arya left the room and then entered another room where King Martin and Princess Alessia were waiting for them along with Grandmaster Delphine.

"I'm glad you're all here" Alessia said "I have something very important to say."

Martin wondered what Alessia wanted to say. For some reason, he could feel that Alessia had been hiding something from him for a long time. "So what is it you wanted to tell us?" he asked

Alessia looked at Martin and then sighed "There is something that I've been hiding ever since the war started. I wanted to say it earlier but we had to concentrate on the war effort." Then she looked at Robb "Before he died, Lord Eddard told me something shocking. What he told me could have big consequences in the future. We may have another enemy to deal with"

Martin groaned, now that was another enemy to add to his list "And who is this enemy and what did Lord Stark tell you?"

Alessia sighed "Lord Eddard Stark told me about Jon Snow's true parentage"

Robb widened his eyes at that, his father had told him about Jon Snow's mother. He had always been curious as to who his mother is but Eddard never spoke of it "And who is Jon's mother?" he asked

Alessia looked worried "It's not just his mother, it's his father as well" Robb looked confused until Alessia revealed the answer "Jon Snow is the son of Lyanna Stark and Rhaegar Targaryen"

That caught everyone by surprise, for years everyone believed that Jon Snow was Eddard Stark's bastard created while Eddard was in grief. But now it turned out that Jon Snow wasn't even Eddard's son.

Alessia carried on "Rhaegar never abducted Lyanna, she loved him and he loved her" she claimed "Lyanna didn't want to marry our father as she claimed that he would never stay to one's bed."

"So our father's Rebellion all began under a misunderstanding" Martin gasped

"It did" Alessia stated "But I'm afraid there's more, Rhaegar and Lyanna had another child" Martin and Robb looked even more shocked "It seemed that Lyanna was pregnant when they ran away. Lyanna was the Knight of the Laughing tree at Harrenhal tourney and found by Rhaegar, they fell in love there and they ended up creating a child. That child was born at the start of the Rebellion and was taken before the war's end. Targaryen loyalists smuggled the child to Essos before Eddard arrived at the Tower of Joy and kept it secret. Eddard only knew because Lyanna told him in her dying words when she died birthing Jon."

Robb was in shock, Jon Snow was not his bastard half brother but his cousin and he had another one as well "And what was the name of this other child?" he asked

Alessia looked at him "Visenya, the child's name is Visenya."

Beyond the Wall:

Far beyond the Wall, the White Walkers and their army of Wights arrived at an old tomb. The Night's King sat on top of his Undead Horse and the other White Walkers followed. The losses they obtained from the Fist had damaged them so they needed new army but with most of the Wildlings fleeing South, they had nothing to raise. So they decided to get more followers for their army. Several large Dragur wielding large battle axes walked out of the Tomb along with an army of weaker Dragur and even a few skeletons. The Night's King and the leader of the Dragur communicated through hissing until the Dragur started to follow the Night's King as they went to the next ruin.

Chapter End:

Notes: This is the final chapter of season 2 and now season 3 begins which will be very different from cannon. The final part of this chapter was to show why the White Walkers won't be attacking yet. I have 3 planned story arcs before the White Walker invasion so I needed something to show why they won't be attacking. The White Walkers won't play a big role until later but they still will make appearances in the Night's Watch storyline. As for the second child of Lyanna, I had the idea for a while and decided to create it. This character was meant to appear in this chapter at the end but I decided to leave it until later as I have another surprise. Now it will take a while before I write Season 3 because I plan to rewrite the chapters of Season 1 first so it will be a long time before there is a new update.
