22.On Jagged Wings
130 ACCasterly Rock News of King's Landing's fall and the battle in the Riverlands had seen the Greens gather in Casterly Rock for a new council. It was an odd royal council, filled with young faces—no lord or knight here was older than thirty. Their fathers had all died in the fighting, whether against Riverlanders, Ironborn, or Northmen. "Useless fools!" Aemond roared, flinging a goblet of wine at the wall. He looked at the spindly old maester and barely resisted the urge to strangle him on the…- 185.8 K • Completed

21.Of Fire and Dreams
130 ACThe Riverlands If you asked Cregan Stark, he would say that the Riverlands were pleasantly warm, and even the sleet felt soft, especially the further south they went. They were approaching the Little Trident—the lesser three-pronged river that started from the western slopes of the Mountain of the Moon and merged into the Green Fork. Lord Stark looked at what seemed to be the smallest dragon he had ever seen, blocking the path of his host. This didn't mean much, considering this was the…- 185.8 K • Completed

20.The Worth of a King
The Ironborn had run rampant along the Western shores for over a year. Fair Castle had fallen, Lannisport had been sacked, the Westerlands' fleet lay at the bottom of the Sunseat Sea, and even Kayce and Feastfires barely weathered the Ironmen's swift raids.While the Hightower and Redwyne Fleets were mustering their might to repel the Ironmen and free Fair Isle, Prince Aemond had decided to address the root of the issue, thinking all other enemies cowed and bested. He rested at Banefort for one night before…- 185.8 K • Completed

2. Lost in Time
Year 129 After Aegon’s Conquest A part of him wanted to deny it, but the scaly black dragon overhead convinced him far easier than any words ever could. Jon could feel it in his bones. Somehow, he was in the wrong time. Year 129 after Aegon’s Conquest. Jon knew of the year—every man, woman, and child in the Seven Kingdoms knew of it, from the highest of lords to the poorest of paupers, from the Wall all the way to Sunspear. They knew of it just as they knew the year the Conqueror…- 185.8 K • Completed

19.The Die is Cast
130 ACBaela Targaryen The Chamber of the Painted Table saw a war council again, and now it was no longer as empty as a sept when the whores offered bargain nights. This time, even Baela was invited. The killing of the Usurper had won her the favour of many. Some hailed her as a kingslayer, though others whispered behind her back. "Kinslayer," they would murmur, but never to her face. Accursed was the kinslayer. Baela did not feel any different, though. Jon had said Aegon had perished…- 185.8 K • Completed
- Middle of 130 ACJon Stark Riding a dragon was nothing like riding a horse. He could feel the Bronze Fury's smugness as his draconic wings parted the clouds with their strokes, as if to say, 'I knew you could not avoid me forever.' And now, Jon was flying. Not dwelling in the mind of a bird, but soaring in the skies on dragonback. Vermithor's wings were drumming rhythmically, each mighty beat overcoming the swift winds, allowing Jon to travel at a speed he never thought possible. Jon had flown in…

- Middle of 130 ACBaela Baela shivered, clinging closer to Moondancer's neck to warm up. Her teeth clattered so hard from the cold that they felt they would shatter. Flying in the middle of a cold winter night might have been too much after all. She felt she would freeze to death before she managed to guide Moondancer to that cave in the Dragonmont, near Cinderfall's Chasm. The location where she had agreed to meet Rhaena was a small rocky gorge where molten rock flowed down from vents, crashing into…

16.No Small Treason
Middle of 130 ACJon Stark An arrow whistled over his shoulder, sinking into the aventail of the Farring knight as if it were made of straw. Sadly, Jon had no time to admire the frightening power of a dragonbone bow, as he was already charging into the enemy. One last leap through the snow saw Jon before Ser Marston Waters. Skyfall was already cleaving at the man's neck, but he confidently raised his shield. The knight was good, the round shield boss met the blade at a tricky angle, glancing off the…- 185.8 K • Completed

15.Treason
"The whore on Dragonstone is not the threat. No more than Rowan and those traitors in the Reach. The danger is my uncle. Once Daemon is dead, all those fools flying our sister's banners will run back to their castles and trouble us no more." -Aemond Targaryen The Greens gained momentum after the Sacking of Tumbleton. It was said that Maelor's brutal death had awoken a terrible anger in the young Prince Daeron, for he had ordered the inhabitants of the market town put to the sword—even the women…- 185.8 K • Completed

14.Resisting Temptations
Edited by: Bub3loka130 ACJon Stark He awoke, feeling weak and stiff—more stiff than weak. His eyelids were as heavy as lead, but he pushed them open, only to be greeted by a familiar ceiling and darkness. But the darkness did not hamper his vision at all, for he could see every detail of the rafters above. It was not the weirdest thing that had happened to Jon, so he just shrugged and accepted it. His hand was already reaching for Skyfall, finding the sword sheathed beside his bed. It brought him…- 185.8 K • Completed
