CHAPTER 26

When the maester came, the guards carried his son to the maesters rooms to examine and evaluate his condition. Tywin slowly and hesitantly crept over to pick up the piece of paper on the chair. He knew nobody had entered to place it there unseen. It just appeared out of nowhere and read…..

'Do you believe me now, Tywin? I know everything because I watched you for far too long. I have your sword Brightroar. If you want it back, stop this killing NOW. Leave the Stark's alone. If you do not I'll melt your goddamn sword into a puddle of steel on the fucking floor in front of your eyes and take you life next.' Tywin Lannister was scared shitless.

Tywin looked around the room and said out loud, "How do I know you will keep your word?!"

A letter appeared out of nowhere, right before his eyes which confused and scared the hell out of him. He hesitantly picked it up off his desk. It said…

'Tywin Lannister, he who does not believe in the gods,

As a dark spector in charge of watching over you now, my word is my bond, unlike yours has been before. You lie, cheat, steal, threaten and murder the innocent and the guilty people, all to get what you want, when you want it all in the name of your legacy. This time it will be different like it or not because I am in control of you and your actions as you sit in the palm of my hand. I am holding you to a new special standard or death will not even be worthy of you. I have not told you one lie so far but had enough of what your family has created.

Your boy king and granddaughter are both born of the incestuous lineage they both bear from your manipulating controlling whore of a daughter, Cersei. She who is very dead by me with your vicious mad grandson Joffrey, by being tripped to fall with his Kingsguard on that bridge. Your daughter had been coupling with your now maimed, stupid and damn near dead son, Jamie. She also had fucked her nephew Lancel several times. Just ask both men directly and see if they will confess the truth when cornered by you.

Make no mistake, Stannis is a fanatical religious warmongering fool that is no better of a choice and he is the only reason I let your grandchild live on the throne for now.

There will be no negotiation between us, or the possibility of you going back on your word. If you deviate from this and you do not follow my instructions to the proverbial letter, I WILL CLEAN OUT THE ENTIRE WORLD OF THE FAMILY OF LANNISTER AND ITS MEMORY. This time all your money, influence and machinations are out of your control and meaningless.

SAY IT OUT LOUD NOW THAT YOU UNDERSTAND THIS!

*Tywin said out loud, "I understand this."*

Now to the terms and conditions…

First you will pull back your forces from the Riverlands and the North announcing the end of the war between both families. I will see to it the Stark's will agree to this myself.

Second, you will write a letter to Robb and Catelyn Stark. It WILL be a sincere apology for the pain your family has caused before you became Hand to the King. It will be for the murder Ned Stark, all of his men and the mistreatment of the two Stark girls, Arya and Sansa at the hands of your grandson Joffrey and your daughter Cersei.

The third thing you will do is leave Stannis Baratheon alone and let me deal with his foolishness. I will see to the end of him, eventually in my own way.

Fourth, you will go to Braavos and pay the Faceless Men their fee to end Daenerys Targaryen yourself personally to make sure you're listening to me. Let Tyrion sit in as Hand until you return.

The last thing you will do is include a separate personal letter that you personally apologize for almost making the biggest mistake of your life trying to arrange a wedding massacre with the Boltons and Freys against the Starks. You will promise that you will not harm ANY of them again because they can be an independent monarchy.

Tywin Lannister, there is something coming for us all that will happen at the end of 304AC. It will make you glad that you stopped this war. You will see within the logic of reason, as to why I demand this from you now. THERE IS A VERY GOOD DAMN REASON. Because the dead will be coming to completely annihilate every living person and animal in the entire world unless Westeros can stop it. You will all need the men in numbers that are spared from the ending of these hostilities. Just wait until you see it for yourself. It will be something real looking in your face from straight out of your nightmares. What good is your family possessing a throne if everyone is dead anyway? A useless waste of power and effort for your family and all of mankind.

I suggest you retain this letter to remind yourself of what you have been told and follow through. SAY YOU UNDERSTAND AND WILL DO ALL OF THESE THINGS OUT LOUD NOW!

Tywin Lannister huffed and said out loud, "I understand and will do all of these things!"

Good, the gods are watching you closely now. If you doubt this and step out of line just once with me, the Hammer Of The Gods comes for you first, Tywin Lannister.

THE SPECTER THAT WATCHES YOU

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Celia watched Tywin Lannister sat thinking for the longest time sitting at his desk with his finger crooked to his lips. He picked up a quill with ink and a piece of parchment and started writing as she watched over his shoulder and read it. A smile formed on Celia's mouth.

She had watched him write both letters that were quite good and messages to his troops and everyone announcing the ceasing of hostilities. She followed him to the small council meeting to inform them of the decisions he made with the king present. To say they were not all in complete and utter shock at his behavior would be an understatement. They were confused about his complete change of tactics. Kevan Lannister was the first to demand his reasons.

Tywin took Kevan Lannister to his tower and showed him the letter. Kevan read it and said, "This is preposterous Tywin. This is a trick."

Tywin said to this brother looking him in the eyes, "Kevan, it is no trick. I saw that letter and all of the messages appeared out of thin air. How can that happen?"

Just then an ancient sword sheath without the sword made from of valyrian steel with lions fighting and roaring in fancy designs elaborately designed appeared with a letter in front of them both on the desktop. Kevan hesitantly picked up the letter. It was addressed to the Lannister Family. Tywin picked up examining the sheath intensely. Kevan opened the letter and it read….

'To ALL Lannisters,

Believe in the gods and stick to the terms. Refuse to believe and you will all be erased from history. Only the sheath of your family sword will remain as a memory of your line and your lack of faith. I will end you all if you renege on my terms. This is my last warning and now your fate is in your own hands.

THE SPECTER THAT WATCHES YOU ALL'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kevan was in complete shock and handed the letter to his brother. He took the sword sheath from Tywin in exchange. Kevan was studying it hard looking at every detail.

He said to Tywin curiously, "This is exactly like the drawings in the books at Casterly Rock. When do you get the sword?"

Tywin muttered, "When the letters are delivered, the troops are all back, the announcement is officially made and declared. I would guess." Celia left the tower and The Red Keep to go back to her room at the inn.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

She sent a letter telling her brother Robb, her mother and The Blackfish that they would be expecting two letters from Tywin Lannister that are legitimate.

Celia was done with these Lannisters and left the next day to fly to find Jaqen and Sansa.

She soared around in the sky scanning the land on the trek to Riverrun to see all activities in the area. She saw armies of units moving south of Harrenhal and the Red Fork river. She saw much activity on the Kingsroad heading south towards King's Landing.

She flew lower above the treelines when she finally spotted them with Shadow and the horses. They were being approached by Lannister soldiers. She landed ahead of them and rolled up the carpet quickly and put it in the bag. She gathered up all of her gear and started walking towards them. She stopped and hid behind bushes and trees before she got there. She watched as they were approached by Lannister soldiers in a small contingent.

The leader of the soldiers said sneering, "Who are you and where do you think you're going?" He was huge like a giant wall of a man. Celia used her telepathic ring and saw the most horrific things coming from this man's mind. She turned to the one next to him and it was the same. They were monsters. She shut the ring down because she couldn't take much more rape and child rape in her mind.

The one soldier standing next to the huge one walked up to Sansa and jerked her down from the saddle. He whipped down the hood of her cloak. Jaqen said in another voice watching the soldiers, "Just traveling through to Pennytree, Ser. She be me wife."

The one holding Sansa said sneering, "Ser Clegane can we take this one to the side and have a go with her?" Sansa had a look of sheer panic.

The Mountain said, "Go ahead, Polliver."

Celia dropped her belongings at the base of the tree and used her invisibility ring. She walked out of the woods as Sansa screamed and he was starting to drag her away with two others right behind him. Celia shoved her dagger deep into Polliver's stomach, ripping the man's guts open from the seam between the soldier plate armor and the groin. It spilled out his entrails as he screamed in horrible pain and released Sansa in shock trying to hold his guts in with his hands. He dropped to bleed out on the ground.

Sansa screamed in fear and ran to Jaqen who had dismounted already. He took her in his arms and put her behind himself. Jaqen was subtly looking around to see who did that.

The Mountain dismounted and was looking around the area and looked back at Jaqen and Sansa. He shouted menacingly directly at them, "Who did that?!"

Jaqen said looking around and shrugged, "They be sayin' tha woods here be full a spirits round tha Raventree lands." Another two soldiers that were going to follow Polliver, dropped from slit throats.

The Mountain looked quickly at them puzzled as he saw them drop and die. He charged up to grab Sansa from behind Jaqen. He stopped when felt his throat get slit quickly. He stopped, roared and grabbed his neck as his men watched the blood spurting out of his neck. Suddenly, his head erupted and shot out flames inside his helmet before he dropped to the ground taking the helmet off and throwing it and he started roaring and screaming in pain because the flames engulfed his head still.

About that time, the soldiers got spooked because their two superiors were dead. They all very quickly mounted up and fled the area. The Mountain was withering and twitching on the ground and died. The flames kept burning and were all consuming inside his armor because she cast an all consuming fire spell on him to turn his entire body to ashes.

Celia gathered up the reins of the three horses left by the soldiers. Jaqen started laughing and Sansa looked at him funny like he was crazy. He said to lessen her confusion, "A girl's sister has arrived." Sansa's eyes got big.

Celia suddenly appears out of nowhere walking up to them with the soldiers' horses in tow. Sansa cried out and ran to her, hugging her sister. Celia dropped the reins, took her in her arms and kissed her forehead.

She hugged her back saying softly, "It's ok, my rosebud. You're always safe with Jaqen and I." Jaqen was walking up to her with Shadow dancing around yipping.

Sansa cried, "There were so many this time and that was Ser Gregor Clegane they call him The Mountain. He is evil and craven from what they say."

Celia said matter of factly, "He is Ser Dead now. That man had horrify things he had done raping women and children both, I saw it in his head. He was a monster deserving of being delivered to the Many Faced God just like the first one I disemboweled."

She let go of Sansa, hugged and kissed Jaqen passionately. Celia said, caressing his face, "I missed you so much, my love." Jaqen smiled, picking her up off the ground and spun her in a circle feeling happy she was back.

Jaqen said, smiling at her looking in her eyes, "A man will never get enough of a beautiful woman, Celia. There is a need to get away from here." She pecked a kiss on his nose making him chuckle.

Celia and Jaqen took everything of value off the bodies and off the horses. They stripped the horses of everything not useful or army identifying to their reins and took them with them as they rode on to Pennytree.
