43.A Brief Reprieve
21st Day of the 9th MoonThe Hand of the King Ned did not think it possible, but the heat had gotten even more unbearable, with the city overflowing with people. It was as if the thousands of visitors brought the heat and damp humidity from their homes. Even the shade provided scarce relief, and he felt like he was swimming in his sweat. Aside from the heat, things were mostly going well. The first day of the tourney saw Gorlon Pyke clinching victory at the axe-throwing, and Rogar Wull won the…- 671.1 K • Completed

75.Precipice of Destiny
17th Day of the 7th Moon, 299 ACDavos Seaworth, Tyrosh Tyrosh's walls loomed above the harbour, and the normally turquoise waters of the Narrow Sea had turned dark and turbulent–choked with bodies, smoke, debris, and burning ships. War sounded ugly and looked uglier still, but he was almost used to the sounds of death and agony, and the men around him were chanting with battle lust. "BARATHEON!" "LADY STONEFACE!" A glance at his charge made the former smuggler feel even heavier at heart.…- 671.1 K • Completed

22.A Religious Dispute
22nd Day of the 5th MoonVal The weather had turned warm again after the Cold Shadows were slain. Jon Snow had been different since meeting with his Crow uncle. Truth be told, Val still felt a tad guilty for unwillingly listening in on their talk. Still, she struggled to wrap her head around half the things they mentioned. It wasn't an obvious thing, but Val could see that his steps had become lighter and his rare laughter - more joyful and genuine. As if a weight that the warg lord had carried had…- 671.1 K • Completed

10th Day of the 13th MoonRobb Stark, Winterfell "I dreamed Father was fighting together with the stone-faced men," Rickon had muttered when they broke their fast in the solar one morning. The words quieted all of them. "Stone-faced men?" Mother's voice was filled with trepidation. "Aye," his younger brother nodded, hungrily swallowing a piece of bacon. "The ones in the crypt." It had happened two days ago, and ever since, Catelyn Stark had been inconsolable. They had all suspected when no word…- 671.1 K • Completed

12th Day of the 9th Moon, 299 ACSer Kevan Lannister, King's Landing Kevan stood at the Red Keep's ramparts and gazed upon King's Landing and the Blackwater Rush, ignoring the petering of the rain as it slowly soaked through his cloak. There wasn't much else to do nowadays, at least until the rain passed. Some days, the rain halted, but the sky was overcast, and the wind coming from the sea was vicious, promising a return of the storm. And the storm would return the next day or the one after.…- 671.1 K • Completed

1. Prologue
Year 3XX After Aegon's Conquest The sun had not risen in months, and the only lights were the flickering flames of the torches and the soft glow of the waning moon. Unfortunately, Jon had no time to enjoy the view, no matter how magnificent. A cold wind was blowing, cutting as sharp as a knife through even the thickest of furs, and the screams of men dying echoed across the field. The air was filled with the stench of rot and decay. Jon swiftly yet precisely brandished Longclaw in his right hand…- 671.1 K • Completed

33.Suffering from Success
9th Day of the 8th MoonJaime Lannister "One more," his words were met with Joffrey's annoyed half-glare, half-groan. "Or we can do drills instead?" The crown prince, clad in padded training armour, threw him a petulant glare, "Why must I do this, uncle?" It wasn't a new question; his son had asked him this many a time. But when had he ever been a father to the boy? Did he even want to be one? "A man must know how to fight, let alone a prince." The answer had always been the…- 671.1 K • Completed

Epilogue-An End and a Beginning
The start of 321 ACThe Lady of Winterfell When fluttering golden banners bearing the proud crowned stag of Baratheon were spotted down the Kingsroad, Myrcella knew it was time. Unlike her father and mother, Tommen and Shireen didn't waste time with such luxuries as wheelhouses. "Will we see Uncle Rickon again?" Joanna asked innocently, tugging at the hem of her father's cloak. "He's down in the Disputed Lands now and won't be returning for some time," her husband said, ruffling her hair as they…- 671.1 K • Completed

1st Day of the 5th Moon, WinterfellRobert Baratheon Finally, his royal children were presented, the introductions concluded, and condolences given. "Take me down to your crypt, Ned. I would pay my respects." "We've been riding since dawn; the children are tired and cold and can use some rest and refreshment. Surely the dead can wait?" Cersei asked neutrally, but Robert could tell she was feeling annoyed. He looked at her, then meaningfully at her brother, and thankfully the Kingslayer led her…- 671.1 K • Completed
