Once the atonement was over, Queen Daenerys did not feel any more satisfied than she had after her victory in King’s Landing. There still felt like there was more to be accomplished.
The women apologized for things they had done in their past. The Queen knelt at Samwell’s felt and asked his forgiveness. Samwell smiled like a giddy child that was being fawned over and immediately offered his forgiveness.
Daenerys was shocked; it had been that easy as well. She said a few words of remorse, but she wasn’t sure she even meant them. Even after having walked this far in the naked to deliver them those she wronged, it didn’t seem like it had been enough.
“Aegon Targaryen! I abdicate my throne to you! Upon your Coronation, you shall be King of Westeros and the Seven Kingdoms! I relinquish all claims past and present to you, my nephew and my love!” she said. She wasn’t sure if she even loved Jon. She had loved being the Queen, but now she wasn’t even sure she loved that anymore.
She was so confused, and she felt empty instead of humiliated or ashamed. The Queen felt satisfied what she had done was right, but at the same time, she felt the experience had been incomplete.
There was nothing more to accomplish that day, and the High Septon left with his priests, sisters, and faith militant to return to his Septon.
Melisandre’ returned to wearing her red gown and acted as if she had never endured the humiliations in the first place. She never spoke of them and attended Court as an advisor to the Queen.
Lady Commander Brienne donned her armor as soon as she could. She was anxious to be done with the humiliating experience, although she quite enjoyed smacking her Queen’s ass whether she would admit it or not. Daenerys had a pert bubble like butt, and her ass was tight and well muscled.
Sansa was also pleased to put on clothes and vowed never to do such a humiliating thing again. She felt it was still easier than laying in bed with Ramsay Bolton night after night but only just barely.
Queen Yara went carousing and looking for a good fuck or a good fight with Euron’s cock on a chain behind her. The pirate Queen left the Red Keep completely naked and fearless.
The whores were taught to be ladies in waiting. Many of whom were scandalous in the Court and had a difficult time fitting into courtly life and adjusting to their new duties. Many of the groomsman and serving lads were caught getting their cocks sucked over the next few weeks, but none of the women were disciplined as they had been in Offa’s dungeon.
Daenerys fucked Jon that night but imagined Khal Drago behind her. She imagined him as a wolf taking her from behind and consuming her entirely when he was finished with her body.
Jon received the fucking of his life, but he was quite sure she had been thinking of someone else when she took him.
“I’ve abdicated my throne! All that remains is for your coronation in a few weeks!” she kissed him that morning.
“Aye, well put some clothes on or your ass will be cold in the iron throne until that happens!” Jon joked with her that morning.
Daenerys did not notice she was naked and might have walked into Court wearing nothing at all. It felt strange that first morning to put on clothes, but in time she grew used to it. She managed affairs of state with Jon, but she cared very little for politics and decisions about where to build new villages or what to do about bandits on the trade roads. Her mind had been on the walk she took, and the walk Cersei would soon have to take.
She had dreamt all of her life of being in these chambers as the Queen, and now that it had happened she didn’t feel right here. She felt out of place in affairs of state. There was something missing now when previously she had been so that she was on the right path to her destiny to rule over all of Westeros. She was technically no longer regent, and even though Jon tried to involve her in decisions, Daenerys didn’t trust her judgment. She knew she was going mad, and she felt it best if she left the council before she suggested something that would harm the kingdom.
She revisited Melisandre in her chambers to ask about these strange feelings. She did not know why she was so disconnected from her duties. Melisandre reminded her of a spider that was waiting in their web and expected the fly to walk in.
“You felt it was too easy?” the witch asked the question that was on Daenery’s mind. “What did you expect? With a dragon that could consume an entire city and the most elite warriors protecting you. The experience was incomplete,” she said.
Daenerys acknowledged what the witch had told her. She knew that was true in her heart. “Why did you stop going to the dungeon?” she asked.
Melisandre offered her an icy smile like she was a child who didn’t understand anything. “I was done. I am reborn and renewed and in the Red God’s graces,” she said.
“There were times you look like you enjoyed it,” Daenerys observed.
“There were times you looked like you envied me,” Melisandre said.
“I checked. There is no way you could see me through the mirror,” Daenerys insisted.
“I see beyond this world into other worlds, do you really think a parlor trick like a one-way mirror can fool me?” Melisandre looked slightly insulted to be underestimated. I see you for who you really are and inside your soul. Your madness and your guilt are like Offa. They pull your chains and stretch your tits but from the inside instead of your flesh. You wish to be free of them, but you also enjoy the torment,” Melisandre said.
“That isn’t true,” Daenerys didn’t enjoy going mad.
“You keep underestimating my vision,” Melisandre was confident she knew what she was talking about. “You may not realize it, but your madness is a comfort to you. You make a rash choice or send someone to their death, and you can blame madness. Your guilt is what hurts you the most. You see the dead still. You see the eyes you closed?” she asked the question, but the Witch already knew that Daenerys saw the eyes of the fallen in King’s Landing in her dreams.
“Not just here but the slaves who were crucified by the Master’s in Mireen as a warning to me,” Daenerys admitted. She saw a child nailed to a cross once, and the image had never left her mind. The Old Masters thought to make examples by creating a path of these cruel crucifixions all along the route Daenerys and her Unsullied had to take to the city.
“You want it to end?” the Witch asked like it might be a simple matter and she was putting Daenerys out of her misery.
“Tell me how!” the Queen implored her.
“You have already abdicated your throne. Yet you attend small council meetings. That must end,” Melisandre said.
The Queen was happy to agree to that.
“You must go to Offa and suffer. When he has taught you what you must learn then you will know what to do next,” Melisandre said with a finality in her tone that suggested she was done speaking.
The Queen asked if she would ever return to politics.
“You will know what you must do after you visit Offa,” Melisandre looked confused that the Queen was still here asking questions. She had already told her what she must do.
At first, Dany was reluctant, and she spent the night with wicked dreams of the tales she had been told by the whores. In her dream, she was in the barn strung up by a brute of a farmer and his clod son. They were laughing as they wrapped the coarse rope around her tits and lifted her up off the ground. They shoved a carrot up her ass and made her wiggle obscenely while the clod hung from her pussy lips and stretched them. Then she was riding Drogon over a Hag’s Mire, and she burned it to the ground as vengeance, and the clod and his father burned and cursed her name. In another dream, the great horse god of the Dothraki mounted her and fucked her as if she were the entire world. His cock filled her completely from her pussy to her throat until she could not breathe, and yet she did.
In her belly was a child, and she was pregnant. She was naked and afraid and walking through the wilderness as children beat her with whips and cords. They laughed and chased the pregnant Queen through the woods. They all had light blonde hair like hers. They were her many children, and they teased and tormented her. They poked her with sticks until one by one. They began to grab her and bite into her flesh. Several of them bit into her great massive tits and began to suckle her breast milk and then she awoke in a puddle of sweat feeling as if she had just run as fast she ever ran and had not slept at all.
The Queen got out of bed, and without putting on a gown, left her chambers. Her ladies in waiting followed her offering her a robe, and she stopped to put it on in the hall just outside her chamber in front of a King’s Guard.
Then she turned and headed for the dungeons where she found Ser Davos.
“Ah, my Queen. Things have been rather lonely down here for Offa since your walk,” he joked as he was in good spirits. The dungeon held a few petty criminals, but no one was being tortured and screaming.
“Is Offa here?” she asked.
“Yes, he sleeps here,” he pointed to the brute. Offa had never spoken to the Queen. He was ugly and brutish with gnarled muscles and a bald head. He bowed his head in respect to her.
Daenerys returned to her chambers and ordered her ladies in waiting to bathe her. The women recognized the bruises as Offa’s handiwork as soon as they saw the Queen strip down. Jenny poured her a bath and Agnes began to rub the woman’s body down. “You know I still haven’t thanked you for giving me to Offa for a few days,” Agnes smiled at Daenerys. Daenerys was about to say that no gratitude was, and while it was harsh, it had been necessary. She needed to see how women so used to sex...
Three Tales from Lewd Whores Tyrion discretely selected the whores that his Queen had ordered without further question and delivered them to her private chambers. She arranged to have no guards that could hear what was discussed and wore only a simple see-through netted nightshirt that revealed her ample breasts to the women that arrived. The first of the three whores called herself “Jenny,” which was a common enough street whore name. She came from Fleabottom, which was the poorest section...
Daenerys spent the next day watching Melisandre and Euron being disciplined in the private Dungeons of the Red Keep. She wasn’t sure if it was Grand Maester Pycelle or Quyburn that had created a viewing area that permitted her to watch through a one-way glass mirror that the subject could not see through. It was indeed a marvel of technology and most likely came from Braavos or Dorne where they were far more advanced. She sat in a simple chair and sipped wine in a private chamber while a...
“See the women to Offa,” Daenerys smiled at the naked whores who left her room. They sashayed behind the armored King’s Guard, who was escorting them to the dungeons. The Queen instructed Ser Davos to have the girls disciplined but to make sure that Sabina’s virginity remained intact and the bronze shield was not removed. Ser Davos knew better than to question the Queen on this matter and asked if there would be anything else? He did wonder what the whores had done to deserve this...
When they were casting for new characters for Game of Thrones, it was tradition now that two current cast members sat in with them. It was Kit Harington and Iwan Rheon’s turn this time. It was also a tradition that some casting happened in the star’s apartments, and today Kit and Iwan were hoping they’d have some more casting to do after they’d seen the hopefuls.Kit and Iwan had been having a casual affair since Iwan had joined the cast. It was almost entirely oral as neither of them wanted a...

Unlimited power at your fingertips. You have the powers of the ancient one, George R. R. Martin. You can bend the world of Game of Thrones at your will. Anything is possible. Incest being common? Easy. Sex in the streets? No problem. A gangbang on the Iron Throne with Queen Cersei, Robb, Jon, and Theon? Why not? The only limit is your imagination. So, what happens next? Authors are welcome and there is no rules (except chyoa rules)! All I ask is good grammar and a consistent POV (first person,...

The Hand of the King is dead, killed under suspicious circumstances. The King Robert Baratheon rides north with the royal court to call on his old friend Eddard Stark to aid him in ruling the realm as the new Hand. Across the Narrow Sea, an eighteen year old Daenarys Targaryen readies to be married to a ferocious Khal in exchange for an army to take back her family's birth right - the Iron Throne. The Game of Thrones has begun. Death and Debauchery await.
In Westeros, when you play the game of thrones, you win or die. However, what happens when history changes? What could happen? Could Ned become king? Could Theon take over the Iron Throne? Perhaps Arya becomes a prostitute, or Sansa marries Sandor Clegane? Who knows?
(The North) Orys II Was Riding His Horse Alongside the Knights of The Kingsguard, He Was The Squire of His Uncle Jaime Lannister, and Had Been for Five Years. Before That He Had been Fostered Amongst the Tyrells, and Served as A Page in The Court of His Grandfather, Lord Tywin Lannister. Unlike His Siblings, He'd Inherited His Father's Traits, and Some of The Man's Personality as Well. In short, He was a Combination of Baratheon Ferocity and Fortitude, and Lannister Cunning and...
“Most of our troops are still scattered all over the Seven Kingdoms, even more so now that the Dothraki and the Unsullied are on the march across the Stormlands, wresting much of them from our control,” Ser Jaime Lannister laid out the current disaster that was the war map of Westeros while standing next to the Iron Throne. “Many of their troops are unavailable to them as well, both in the North and in the Stormlands, to say nothing of the Riverlands. We can still defeat them, and their...
“Lord Baelish, might we have a word?” a voice at the door asked Littlefinger, who naturally responded to the sound and the knock. “Of course, my Lady of Winterfell. Perhaps you’ve heard the news, then? The ravens have already borne the message that our King, Jon Snow, has taken the Dragon Queen, Daenerys Targaryen, as his bride? Quite an auspicious union, of course. Still, I don’t recall what this has to do with gathering dragonglass, do you?” Petyr already began to spin his web, seeking to...
“You’re quite sure of this? It isn’t a joke or trick?” Daenerys Targaryen asked Missandei, as she reread the raven’s message. “No, my Queen. Your husband is also your nephew, by blood, the sole surviving son of your eldest brother, Prince Rhaegar Targaryen, and his second, secret wife, Lyanna Stark. That would also make him slightly older than Your Grace, would it not? Older than his aunt, who happens to be his wife? Is this a problem, due to it being incest, my Queen?” Missandei asked Dany,...
“Well, just what did you have in mind for this last Sand Snake, Cersei? Why am I pulling away from the fighting, when my men need me most, what we are even doing here? Why abandon our post? Did you know that three of the five men on the Small Council proposed that I remove you from the Iron Throne? Including the now dead High Septon! Well, no need for that now. You’ve removed yourself from it, dear sister! You’ve abandoned the Iron Throne and I doubt, that now I’ve thought on it, either of us...
“How in the Seven Hells are we to get into the damned city, anyway? We must get past this rotten mess and this is the perfect moment for a sentry to catch us, you know. You two really know a passage into this miserable town?” Ser Jorah looked at Tyrion and Davos with a bit of skepticism and hesitation even now. “Three, counting myself, Ser Jorah. Remember, with Ser Jamie’s aid, I was able to smuggle Tyrion here out of King’s Landing and on a ship to Pentos. Trust me, though. We’ll be in...
“Arise, my lord. You are back,” Varys heard a voice calling him out of the darkness of death, a very familiar one if haunting to him. “Back? I ... was dead! How do I come back from that?” Varys strained to see before he noticed who it was that he faced. Kinvara, the Red Priestess who had aided Tyrion and he in the saving of Meereen, at least back when it still could be saved. She had brought him back, he who loathed and despised everything that the Lord of Light and his priests represented?...
You Wake up on the ground with nothing around you but green hills. You try to remember what happened to you. But all you can remember is that you were watching Game of thrones when all of a sudden you blacked out. You then find a piece of paper on the ground and written inside is a letter... It reads "Hello there you might be wondering were you are and how you got here. Well I will tell you what happened I brought you to my world a world you know as a TV show called a Game of thrones but it is...
Fetish“Where’s that sellsword of yours?” Cersei Lannister, self-appointed Queen of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros, asked her twin brother and general, Ser Jaime Lannister. “Where’s that pirate king of yours?” Jaime retorted, “why isn’t he reporting on the status of the Iron Fleet and paying court to you, his intended bride?” “Enough of that, Jaime! Euron is not my twin, he did not come out of our mother’s womb into this world together, he did not father my children, he did not fight my wars and...
For Lord Varys, the path was far more treacherous and he was far less sure of the outcome. Still, he had to test the loyalty of the little birds, whether they had truly defected to Qyburn to a man, or rather some of them might retain some allegiance to the former Master of Whispers. To the eunuch, this could well make a difference between a more decisive and imminent victory and a longer, more dangerous conflict that impaired their chances against the Night King later. If this meant his...
Dany found herself more heated than ever after supper, as she felt her husband’s cock inside her luscious pussy, knowing that this appendage belonged to her nephew as well. There was simply something quite natural and comforting to her in this knowledge that, as a Targaryen, she came home to the old ways and traditions of her family, even without being aware prior to the marriage. It was little wonder, she thought, that she was in fact drawn to Jon Snow from the moment that he arrived, even...
“You, man, what brings a knight like you into a tavern like this?” Ser Jorah heard behind him as he drank some ale, missing the wines of Essos. “Well, now, that’s the question, isn’t it? What gave me away as a knight?” Mormont asked the fellow approaching now, a rather young and clean-shaven septon from the looks of him. “As a septon, I’ve witnessed many a knight take his vows. Despite your Northern accent, you’re definitely consecrated as a knight in the light of the Seven. There’s a...
“The intent of this is well enough, good priestess, but I am rather worried that entirely excluding the Faith of the Seven from power and a hand in the governance of the realm will invite envy, mistrust, and other troubled responses. Might I propose a slight adjustment?” Ser Jorah Mormont suggested. “Of course, what would that be?” Kinvara inquired in response. “I ... I had to atone for my past crimes, and rightly so, and the Faith of the Seven has been guilty of its crimes. I have no great...
“Lord Varys, to what I do owe this pleasure?” Yara Greyjoy asked the Spider as he descended upon the docks, where she had rounded up some three dozen Lannister men. “I have been given orders to arrange the transport of certain cargo presently located in the Dragonpit, namely wildfire, for the voyage to White Harbor, and from there to Eastwatch-by-the Sea, which must begin as quickly as practicable,” Varys answered, “also, I have been named Master of Coin, so I will naturally help fund this...
War Council, Last Hearth, Bay of Seals That evening “So, we’ve beaten back the first assault of the newest wave. It won’t be the last, I can assure you of that. The Night King is playing the long game and he’s playing for keeps. He wants to overrun all of Westeros and the known world and cover them in ice and darkness and snow. “Still, the flames have helped, no doubt of that. We’ve held our own in spite of a lack of proper arms such as dragonglass and Valyrian steel. Only by facing the...
Eastwatch-by-the-Sea Two days later... He was back from Castle Black ... Tormund Giantsbane, with whatever fresh provisions he could requisition for the defense of the coastal fort. He also had clear instructions from Dolorous Edd, the Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch. Eastwatch must not be surrendered intact, must not be abandoned while a single brother could fight to hold it. It was far too vital to the defense of the realm, after all. If Eastwatch fell, then the Night King and the...
Sunspear, Dorne The next morning Elia Sand, the young Princess of Dorne, daughter of the late Prince Oberyn Martell and Ellaria Sand, niece and namesake of Elia Martell, nervously tossed back a good deal of Dornish red wine while listening to Kinvara, the Red Priestess sent from King’s Landing to Sunspear. As the eldest remaining Sand Snake, she was the obvious choice to rule Dorne, and so now she did. Elia heard rumors that Kinvara and other Red Priests could resurrect the dead, but if so,...
Somewhere north of the Crownlands ... the camp of the Stark/Targaryen banners. “A raven, Your Grace,” Ser Jorah presented the newest message to Daenerys Targaryen, Mother of Dragons. “Astapor and Yunkai have both fallen to the forces of the Free Cities of Essos. Slave Cities of Essos would be a better description. Leaders of any resistance have been crucified, along with any sons that they had. The coalition arrayed against the freedmen now includes Norvos, Pentos, Lys, Myr, Volantis,...
The Red Mountains on either side of the Prince's Pass served as a welcome shield, hiding the armies of Daenerys Targaryen from the Dornish Sun. At my advice, she had started her campaign here, in the lands of Doran Martell. His sister, Elia, had once been married to her brother, Rhaegar. When the Targaryen's had been overthrown during the War of Usurper, Elia had been brutally raped and murdered by Gregor Clegane under the command of Tywin Lannister. If anyone would be sympathetic to a...
Mind ControlFor Ser Gregor Clegane, The Mountain That Rides, also known simply as the Mountain, things had definitely gone downhill for him. He was alone for a good while, except for Ashlyh, who didn’t particularly enjoy what he did to her whenever he took her to bed. She grunted and winced in pain even now, taking that monstrous cock up her bum. He oiled her bottom before going in, but that was his only courtesy to her while buggering the young maid. She bit her lower lip in her agony, trying to endure...
The young noble woman had always been used to the life of privilege back in her ancestral home of Winterfell and when she moved to Kings Landing a few months ago with her father and sister Arya she thought her life was set. Her family’s wealth ensured that she was always at the height of fashion and she liked the looks she’d started getting from the boys of the city, everyone from the some of the kingdoms most powerful heirs to the squire boys she saw scurrying around the Red Keep stole a...
Like my Potter fanfic, this will be extremely hardcore stuff! Also, I'm still not prefect in English so be indulgent! Good Reading! Part1: Daenerys: The Dragon's Bride Daenerys was looking at the view, perched at the top of the high hill Drogon had land on. They had left the fighting pit of Meereen two days ago and the young woman was famish. The dragon had eaten a entire lamb he had gripped in the field this morning. The charred remains where still smoking and diffusing the flagrance...
It happened, so fast that Arya and Danearys were taken by surprise. The queen dressed head to toe in furs with only her long golden hair dancing in the sunlight was unceremoniously sent on her way in the great wind of the snowy north. The door to the log cabin was slammed shut and Jon and Arya were alone for the first time Arya Stark passed out within a few minutes, but not quite before she felt her feet being set free. She struggled to kick at the person, but they easily avoided her...
Robert Baratheon was bored. The Small Council meeting he was presiding over had dragged on all afternoon. The King groaned as his Master of Coin droned on about the Crown's debt to the Lannisters for the umpteenth time, while the other councilors sit anxiously, acutely aware of the King's displeasure. Indeed, the meeting might have seemed unbearable were it not for the mass of golden curls currently bobbing up and down on his crotch beneath the table. Cersei took no pleasure in her queenly...
Melisandre forged her path through the virgin snowfield of the Winterfell godswood, her breath coming in a billowing cloud that swirled amongst the falling snow as she stopped before the pallid boughs of the weirwood tree. She took some measure of solace in the cold and peace, content to let the snow comfort her svelte body as it encrusted her shoulders and danced around her to a tune that only R’hllor could fathom. However, it wasn't long before the Red Woman shivered when she felt its caution...
Eastwatch-By-The-Sea Four days later “Seven Hells, they’re back! They’re back!” Wyllam Waters, a Crownlands bastard serving as the lookout on the docks of Eastwatch, exclaimed, “the Dead have returned to attack us again!” Sure enough, the Dead had returned to Eastwatch. The Night King had committed his wights and White Walkers to another assault Eastwatch, using his newest troops from Skagos and Skane to attack the fortress. It was a new strategy, but it had every possible chance of...
White Harbor That very evening Yara Greyjoy, First of Her Name, Queen of the Iron Islands, was relieved that, after some delays, she had finally reached White Harbor, leading port of the North. She wasn’t alone, had taken as many ships as she could manage with him, containing prisoners, supplies, etc. Most importantly, she had taken the precious cargo assigned to her by Lord Varys: wildfire. It could very well make the difference between victory and defeat here in the North, against this...
“Well, well, what have we here? My former husband, the Imp, perhaps?” Lady Sansa Stark, Lady of Winterfell and Wardenness of the North, greeted Lord Tyrion Lannister, Lord of Casterly Rock, Lord Paramount of the Westerlands, Warden of the West, and Hand of the King and Queen. “And this, my dear former wife, the She-Wolf of the North, liberator of Winterfell. Tell me, sweet Sansa, are you interested in renewing our previous arrangement? Or has my watch ended?” the Imp teased his once and...
This week’s show begins with that same old rusty bedstead, and that same old dirty mattress. Pausing to take in the magnificent filthiness of it, then pulling back to reveal the bare concrete floor around it, and to take in the harsh lighting. And then we hear our guest of the week approaching, quick little footsteps ... Light clicks on the studio floor. We pan round to see what we’ve got this week and see a slight, pale, small-boobed lady walking in quick, short strides ... She’s not is a...
The Neck, Five Days Later... The trout sigil of House Tully was unmistakable, of course. With it came more than a few hundred knights, many of them hedge knights freshly wed to Frey and Rivers girls as prizes probably better than they would otherwise have for at least another year. Lord Edmure Tully, Lord of Riverrun and Lord Paramount of the Riverlands (the title used to be “Lord Paramount of the Trident,” but Edmure preferred a stronger association with Riverrun itself), rode eagerly into...
“All in a good day’s work, I suppose,” Missandei greeted her Queen, Daenerys Targaryen, as she returned from burning the Iron Fleet near King’s Landing, tempted as she was to go further and burn the Red Keep. “Is that any way to greet your Queen now, my dear friend?” Dany teased Missandei, both of them knowing that she didn’t actually object when in private like this. “Did you bag the whole lot, my Queen? Burn them all?” Missandei inquired of Dany, who smiled in response. “All charred and...
“Is this all that you could find, Decran?” Ser Gregor Clegane, his face looking even less human by the moment. “You’re lucky that I found this lot, Ser Gregor. Even half of the men who I found would probably betray you for enough coin. I would advise you to watch your back, but I suspect that none of these poor fellows, not even all of them, could take you down. They would be dead men within the hour. Incidentally, if any of us die, it would be best not to break the new law, at least for...
Maegor’s Holdfast, Small Council Chamber, King’s Landing Next Morning “So, let’s begin. I have plenty to do and I’m not alone there. Sam, how are those scorpion plans coming along? The ones from Qyburn? Are they all ready to send up North?” Ser Bronn of the Blackwater, Lord of Castamere and Lord Commander of the City Watch (they couldn’t very well refuse him using the word “Lord” in the title when he was effectively governor of the capital), asked Samwell Tarly, the Grand Maester on the...
A week later ... Eastwatch-by-the-Sea... “Whatever happened to the galleys that we once used to guard and trade from Eastwatch, anyway?” Theon asked Cotter, the thought more than once naturally occurring to an Ironborn prince, even a fallen one. “Where do you think that the Night King got his ships? He turned every last one of those poor buggers, that is my only conclusion, plus any foolish smugglers and pirates caught in the open. Look, we have now been cut down to a force of what two...
The Neck, That same evening “Lynesse, why are you here?” Ser Jorah finally found the words to confront his former wife. “I am here to ... reconcile with my husband, if that’s at all possible. I have ... made ... mistakes. I have been wrong about you. I thought that you lacked ambition. I thought that you were content to just live in exile from Bear Island in an austere, miserly existence, and that wasn’t for me. In Braavos, of all places. Now, however, I find you ... here, Lord Commander of...
“Milord, milord, please rise,” Lord Edmure Tully heard as he rose from his bed, thinking himself still in his dungeon cell. “Is it breakfast already? If so, might I have fewer maggots this time with the bread?” the groggy nobleman asked as his eyes adapted to more light than expected. “Why would milord want maggots at all? We generally try to keep those out of bread, m’lord,” a gentle voice, very feminine answered him, in the bedchamber where he lay. “What, where am I?” Lord Edmure asked...
The Last Hearth, The North, War Council of the Bay of Seals A few days later... “So, the first attempt has been repulsed, but you know that won’t be the last. They are but testing our strength, even now, and they now have Skagos and Skane from which to keep up their raids. Be assured that this enemy will not relent. They made more than fifteen or was that sixteen attempts to take Eastwatch-by-the-Sea from the waters, after all. This foe wants to cover the world in ice and snow. He will not...
“There they are. They waited for those forces on the ground to get closer, weren’t they?” Daario Naharis inquired of Howland Reed and Benjen Stark as the boats carrying the Night King’s flotilla approached them. “That they did, more’s the pity,” Howland Reed concurred, feeling nervous in spite of his attempts to steel his nerves as the wights on the water closed the distance. “It’s a classic pincer move, of course. One flank attacks from the front, the other from the side. They hope to find...
The Bay of Seals, Two days later... “Here they come, boys ... here they come!” Jallen Tarlor, the captain of the watch, shouted, as the Dead came ashore yet again in force. “Aye, that they do! Are we ready to set them ablaze, too!” Nardel, his sergeant of the watch, a Wildling like their commander, asked him. “You know Lord Tormund’s standing orders, my savage friend! Cook them! Fry them! Roast them! Burn them all!” Jallen insisted, much to the relief of Nardel, who was anxious to rid the...
Winterfell, two days later... “My lady Sansa, a message for you by raven,” Lord Yohn Royce of the Vale presented the latest news to Sansa Stark, Lady of Winterfell and Wardeness of the North. “I can see that, my lord,” Sansa observed as she sat with her sister, Arya (still posing as Lord Petyr Baelish, also known as Littlefinger), her knight, Brienne of Tarth, Lyanna Mormont of Bear Island, Lord Royce, Lord Glover, Lord Robin Arryn of the Vale, Lady Meera Arryn of the Vale (formerly known...
The North, facing the Bay of Seals ... ten days later... “Here they come, men. Damn those wights to all Seven Hells!” Torrhen Snow, a bastard of House Umber, warned the other handpicked men of the small, but growing coastal watch. He was captain of the watch, after all. “Get the word to our commander, Tormund Giantsbane. Or failing him, to Sandor Clegane, the Hound,” he added, “now, you know our orders ... set everything ablaze as soon as they land. And pull back for now. We want to kill...
“A raven has arrived, Khaleesi,” Ser Jorah Mormont, Lord Commander of the Kingsguard, informed Daenerys Targaryen, Queen of Westeros rather abruptly. “What does it say? Have you read it, Ser Jorah?” Dany turned to her oldest adherent, the most loyal of her supporters. “Yes, my Queen, I have. It is from Cotter Pyke, Commander of Eastwatch-by-the-Sea. It seems that there was a brief naval clash ... with the Dead. The Night King attempted to sail around the Wall. He was stopped for now, but at...
Storm’s End, The Stormlands That very evening “Open up for your rightful lord!” the commander of the small, already besieged Lannister garrison at Storm’s End, Ser Martyn Hill, heard someone cry out to him from below the battlements. “Who are you?” Hill, widely rumored to be a bastard of either Tywald or Tion Lannister, demanded of the stranger, who seemed to have a lot of retainers just then. “I am Lord Gendry Baratheon, son of Robert Baratheon, Lord of Storm’s End and Lord Paramount of...
The Neck, Just moments later... “A raven from the Stormlands. The last Lannister men having yielded in Storm’s End to Lord Gendry Baratheon, Grey Worm has commenced a forced-march of the Unsullied toward our camp, with the Dothraki riding ahead and guarding his flanks. He has rewarded the bastard and his bride from the Westerlands who aided in the capture of the Mountain, per the bounty granted by Your Graces, and has convinced them to serve the realm in this war as well,” Varys informed...
“Well, for a man with no cock, you sure drank a lot, little brother!” Yara Greyjoy, Queen of the Iron Islands, also known as “Yara the Bottomless,” teased Theon Greyjoy, now a man of the Night’s Watch. “Well, I’ve taken the black and I’m celibate, both by choice and by force, so there’s nothing left for me but fighting, drinking, and eating. And pissing through a wooden straw such as this,” Theon said, “which often makes me ill.” “Theon, whatever your crimes in the past, you’ve certainly...
For Ser Davos Seaworth, the Street of Steel was certainly a familiar enough place. He had been there more than once in his earlier years as a smuggler and pirate, especially having grown up in Flea Bottom and smuggled whatever he wished into whatever port. Even so, it had changed more than a little, becoming even busier than in the past. After all, there was a war going on, wasn’t there, and Queen Cersei wasn’t about to give up the fight short of a total victory or defeat. Everywhere Davos...
“How many days until we reach White Harbor?” Yara the Bottomless asked Lord Darren Haerd. “I’d guess about four or five at most, Your Grace,” Darren smiled as he stood with his Queen at the helm of the Balon, her flagship. “I’ve had a raven send me this note. Seems that my brother, Theon, is now very firmly attached to the Night’s Watch in Eastwatch. I’ll see him again when I arrive, assuming that he survives. That’s hardly certain, as it appears that four men have already perished in the...
