70.Echoes
1st Day of the 6th Moon, 299 ACVal, Warg Hill Dalla's hoarse screams finally halted, replaced by a sharp, familiar wail. Val had become an aunt. Most of the chieftains had gathered around Duncan's cottage–including the man himself. Red Jayne and Willow were with her, their shaggy forms sitting on each of her sides like guardians. After Calla had been born, all the direwolves had abandoned Val in favour of her daughter. It was one of the reasons she was willing to let her little one out of…- 671.1 K • Completed

4.Echoes of Hunger
258 AC, The Red Keep The Young Princess There had been no chance to speak with her grandfather, to gauge his reaction and try to confide in him. While Aegon the Unlikely was a busy king, he wasn’t too hard to meet. But Rhaella couldn’t meet him, no matter how much she wished to, despite being a princess of the blood and his only granddaughter. The chambers of the Maidenvault were flush with velvet tapering and gilded furniture, an empty luxury meant to entertain Baelor’s sisters for…- 202.5 K • Ongoing

32.The Price of a Gift
15th Day of the 9th Moon, 303 AC Damion Lannister, Braavos He had never been a large man, nor broad of shoulder, but age had shrunken him all the same. Perhaps it was some hidden ailment, or he had displeased the gods somehow, but at eight-and-fifty, Ser Damion Lannister stood scarcely five and a half feet, his limbs turned to kindling twigs, his knees trembling like old reeds in the wind. The strength he had once carried into the lists, the pride he bore in the melee of his youth, had long since…- 401.2 K • Ongoing

Epilogue-From the Ashes
By 309 AC, nobody had seen the corsairs of the Basilisk Isles for nearly five years. None of the ships sent to investigate had returned either, and rumours from the East claimed the waterways of Asshai had become impassable… -Unnamed Lyseni Chronicler Late 308 AC, Winterfell Jon Stark Stormclouds blotted out the sky, and just as he predicted, it soon came. The distant clap of thunder echoed from the open shutter, and Jon Stark felt his body and magic tingle. It was time. With a…- 401.2 K • Ongoing

20.Of Woes and Perils
Eddard Stark16th Day of the 5th Moon Ned groaned tiredly and took a generous gulp from his cup of ale. Juggling Robert, the royal party, and his bannermen quickly became tiring. His lessons with Robb became far rarer and shorter, and Ned even managed to sneak a few sparring sessions in a private yard very early in the morn, relieving some of his tension. "I hope there are no more mishaps." "I'd hardly call a training yard spat a mishap," Howland chuckled. "Those happen all the time." "Both the…- 671.1 K • Completed

22.Apprehension
25th of January, 1992, Saturday In a small clearing amidst Bradley's Woods, crimson runes glowed eerily in the darkness from a queer assortment of mossy stones. In the centre stood a man crowned with silver, his skin fissured like a cracked vase. He was surrounded by three young children arranged on the ground in a triangular position, their heads facing him. Their fearful gazes moved erratically, yet their limbs and tongues refused to budge even an inch despite the lack of visible…- 469.5 K • Ongoing

31st of October 1993, Sunday (8 days later) Juno Harry learned from his mistakes with frightening speed—it was incredibly hard to defeat him twice the same way. It was an instinctive talent for fighting that made even her envious. “Frigor Umbra!” The icy shade was met with a burst of fire, melting it away with a shriek. That trick had worked only twice more before Harry managed to counter it. Not that it mattered. The barrage of spells from Amelia’s wand did not slow even…- 469.5 K • Ongoing

7.The Bastard Letter
14th Day of the 3rd Moon, 303 ACJon Snow Eyes closed, he focused on slipping his mind into the black-feathered bird on the desk before him. "Fool, fool," Mormont's raven cawed at him, making Jon halt his attempts with a snort. With a sigh, he stood up and tossed a few kernels of corn to the crotchety bird, who greedily began pecking at them. Maybe he was a fool. With quite some effort, Jon could slip into the minds of other animals. He had the easiest time with horses and ravens, but it took…- 401.2 K • Ongoing

49.Usurpers and Pretenders
16th Day of the 11th MoonThe Spider On days like this, Varys could not help but marvel at the whim of the gods. A furious storm had raged through the narrow sea for days, and many ships were sunk. Better yet, the direwolf and mermen sails had not been seen arriving anywhere from Gulltown to the Pebbles. It seemed like wolves made for poor swimmers. The Spider cared little about godly matters, but was this what it meant to have divine favour? A king's death was a heavy blow, and someone had to take…- 671.1 K • Completed

81.Fight Harder
8th Day of the 8th Moon, 299 ACLord Paxter Redwyne, Torrhen's Square While sufficiently defensible, the seat of House Tallhart was not particularly prosperous, but it shouldn't have come as much of a surprise. The Tallharts were a mere Masterly House if one of the stronger ones amongst their ilk. The Lord's solar was a suitably bright but bare room with a few hunting trophies, axes, and dusty tomes along a small bookshelf. Even the sole, worn-down tapestry behind the desk displayed some…- 671.1 K • Completed
