The Lions in the Tower
The Red Keep, the tower of the Hand.
Tyrion wanted nothing more then to stay in his bed with Arianne, and celebrate her new pregnancy, but he had to talk to Eddard Stark.
He looked at Jory Cassel who was looking with worry at Stripes who was in turn watching him, Tyrion sighed "Is Lord Eddard available?" He asked Jory looked down at Tyrion, as with all Northerners Jory didn't trust him after all he was a Lannister "Lord Eddard is very busy with the running of the Realms, I'm sure Lord Eddard can find time for you tomorrow My Lord" Said Jory, Tyrion wanted to laugh at the self important man he just looked at him "Who do you think has been paying the King's massive debts to the Iron Bank for the last few years?, The king owes my family so much money, I'm sure it would make you faint like a maiden thrown into a barracks with a load of hairy naked men" He looked at Jory who still looked at him with distrust and if Tyrion was right a little disgust as well.
Tyrion smirked at Jory "I have business that I must discuss with Lord Eddard, now you can announce me or Stripes here can decide what a Northern man tastes like" He said Jory looked at the Lion who was now staring at him with his large brown eyes, Tyrion looked at him as well "I'll see if Lord Eddard is available" Said Jory before he fled inside Tyrion grinned and rubbed Stripes head as the Lion huffed "Oh don't sulk, you'll have a leg of something later I promise" He told the large Lion.
A few moments later Jory return "Lord Eddard will see you My Lord" He said.
Tyrion smirked as he petted Stripes large head, he walked into the room "Keep Jory company" Said Tyrion as he closed the door he smirked when he saw Jory's terrified look.
Eddard looked up from the thick book, the two Wardens looked at each other Tyrion sighed before dragged himself into a chair "It'll do no good, telling the world the truth" He said simply Stark frowned at him "Stannis is the rightful heir" He said Tyrion sighed again "Tell me did you approve of what my Father had done to Rhaegar's children?" He asked, Eddard glared at him "Of course not!" He shouted Tyrion nodded, he folded his hands into his lap.
"Yet you are more then willing to allow this to happen to my Nephew's and Niece?" Tyrion threw back "Robert will kill them for being made a cuckold, just as he approved of Rhaegar's children being slaughtered just because they were Rhaegar's, he didn't care they were innocent's, they were Dragon spawn as my Brother informed me on what Robert called them, you sit there and claim that you didn't approve of the murder of the children yet you are more then willing to allow the murder of Tommen and Mycelia two innocent children, Joffrey has too much of his Mother in him I know I can't save him, that boy will die some day before his time, I can't stop it but I will do everything in my power to protect Tommen and Mycelia, from Robert, Cersei and even you" He said.
Eddard looked at the little Lord, at that moment the little Lord sat tall on the chair, he was torn his honour demanded that he inform Robert and the Realms of the truth, yet he knew that if he revealed the truth Robert would kill the children, he feared more for young Tommen and Mycelia then he did for Joffrey.
"And can you honestly say Stannis will be a better King then Robert?" Asked Tyrion, Eddard looked at him "Stannis is an honourable man!" He said outraged Tyrion nodded "Agreed, he is honourable but that doesn't mean he will be a good King, Stannis is a hard man, unbending, unwilling to compromise, a King must be willing to compromise to bend to the needs of his people, Stannis will never bend" Said Tyrion he sighed deeply "Robert had been a good Lord not a great Lord but a good Lord, he was a good solider but he was never built to be King" Said Tyrion "He was meant to have his Keep in Storms End have a woman to give him fine sons and plenty of hunting and I think you know it" Tyrion looked at Eddard.
"And neither would Renly be a suitable King, not because his preference for men, I'm sure there have been a few Kings who preferred what hung between a man's legs then what was between a woman's soft thighs" He said he almost pitied Eddard's surprised look "Renly is too flexible, he would have his favourites, and these favourites would vie for his favour, which would cause disruption to the Realms in time he no doubt would leave the ruling of the Realms to his Small Council which may in turn cause corruption to grow with in the Council it's self.
In time he would have to marry, his wife would face the constant humiliation and if by some miracle Renly gave her a child how long do you think he would live, once a Son was born?" Tyrion sighed deeply "Out of the three Baratheon Brothers, Robert sadly is the only one who is strong enough to be King, he has a hand on his Council via his Hand he is willing to listen to reason once his temper has cooled and he is willing to compromise and the simple truth is the people do actual love him" Tyrion watched Eddard as he soaked everything in.
"But ..." Eddard was lost he didn't know what to do Tyrion sighed "It will cause a war, a war the realms can't afford to fight, your own House words are 'Winter is Coming' if we are fighting a war then no one can prepare for Winter, and this one will be a long one" He said softly he knew this was all too much for the dour, Warden of the North his life was much simpler up North.
Eddard bowed his head "What do I do?" He whispered Tyrion sighed deeply "Don't take what that book says to heart the Baratheon seed is not that strong, Jon Arryn seems to have forgotten that Robert has bedded at least three of my Cousin's all of which have born him a bastard each one bore a golden haired babe though their eyes have the Baratheon blue grey eyes and one of them looks shockingly like a golden haired Robert" He chuckled.
Eddard looked at the thick book of Lineages of Histories of the Great House's of the Seven Kingdoms, Tyrion smiled at him "The book doesn't mention the Red haired Lannister's does it?" He asked.
Eddard's head shot up his eye brows raised, Tyrion nodded "Its true there are Red Haired Lannister's though they are of the lower branches but they are Lannister's none the less".
Tyrion grinned at the stunned Northern Lord "Its all thanks to my Great Grand Mother are you familiar with the tale's of Ser Duncan the Tall and his Squire Egg?" He asked Eddard nodded, Tyrion grinned even more "Are you aware of the story of The Sworn Sword in the tale's" He asked, again Eddard nodded "Lady Rohanne Webber, the Red Widow is my Great Grandmother the strawberry blond hair comes from her" Tyrion chuckled at the stupefied look that was now stuck on Starks face "She married my Great Grandfather Gerold Lannister a few years later after Ser Eustace Osgrey died in his sleep of old age" He said thoughly enjoying the look on Starks face.
"What is more important Eddard, your honour or the Realms stability and the lives of not just two innocent children who had no control who sired them but the lives of the people who truly don't care who rules them as long as they have food on their tables and a leak free roof?" He said Eddard sighed as he lend back he realised that he had kept the secret of Lyanna, knowing that Robert would have Jon killed just for being Rhaegar Targaryen's Son, and there were the lives of Cersei's younger children was at stake, even if they fled to Essos they would not be safe from Roberts assassins.
"And think of this Tommen will be betrothed to Lady Shireen, so in the end House Baratheon will still have a claim to the Iron Throne, threw Shireen" Said Tyrion "Tommen is a good boy and kind boy but I fear that if he ever becomes King he will be an indecisive King unless he has a wife with a good brain in her head and the few times I've meet her I found Lady Shireen too be an intelligent, good and kind girl the perfect foil for Tommen" He said to the still dumbfounded Lord of Winterfell.
Eddard took a deep breath "Very well I'll say nothing of what we have talked of, but her Grace can not remain in Kings-Landing she has proven that she is capable of attempted murder" He said he looked at Tyrion, Tyrion sighed deeply "There is no proof other then the word of a man who confessed to hiring someone to hire an assassin, and if it got out that Cersei's hand was involved then people would ask why would the Queen wish her younger Brother dead, then questions would be raised about wither Cersei was in fact a lover of Ser Osney and if maybe Cersei's too younger Children are in fact Roberts" He said he sighed deeply "Very well Cersei will be removed from Kings-Landing and placed some where secure, Now about your Wife, I don't hold her accountable for what her Sister did to me, the woman was clearly deranged, so instead your Wife will return to Winterfell there she will remain for time she will not be permitted to leave the Keep unless for family events" He said Eddard gave a nod agreeing.
"I'm not sure about Ser Brynden yet no doubt the same will apply for him but in Riverrun, as for young Lord Robin Arryn he will be given over to Lord Stannis Baratheon to foster as Lord Jon Arryn wished, it might even do the boy good and maybe even soften some of Stannis's edges a little to have two young boys to mould into fine noble men as his Wife has not yet given him any living Son's" Said Tyrion he paused for a breath before he continued.
"As for the remaining Lords of the Vale who escaped the Eyrie, I demand compensation from them, a price to be determined later, and finally I want Littlefinger removed as Master of Coin" He said Eddard frowned not understanding the last request Tyrion smiled at him reminding Eddard that Tyrion was Tywin and Joanna Lannister's Son "Who told Lady Catelyn that the dagger was mine?, Who has known Lady Lysa for almost thirty years?, Who has weakened the crown financially for almost a decade?" He said as he looked at Stark who's eyes went wide "Baelish" Growled Stark, Tyrion nodded "Take away his money and power and his enemy's will pounce on him like vultures in a feeding frenzy, I doubt if Lord Baelish will live a month" He said Eddard looked at Tyrion "But how would we justify taking it all from him?" He asked.
Tyrion smirked at Eddard reminding him very much of the Sigel of House Lannister "For incurring debts to the crown with out proper consent, by falsely representing the crown in negotiations, for trying to insight war between House Lannister and House Stark, for the attempted murder of Brandon Stark" He said Eddard was stunned he could only nod in agreement.
Lady Joanna's Chambers that night.
The fire crackled in the room, the room comfortable Joanna sighed deeply "This is bloody madness!" A man grumbled Joanna lend up off the man who lay under her, she smiled at him "You seemed to enjoy the madness my old Trout!" She teased Brynden glared at her though there was no anger there "I did but now my mind has returned to me!, your Daughter is Queen, your oldest Son is in the King's Guard and your Youngest Son is Lord of the Westerlands, one can kill me himself, the other two can get me executed!" He grumbled even as his arms went around her to hold her, Joanna rested her head ageist his firm fury chest "I'll protect you from my cubs" She laughed she suddenly sat up and wiggled a little earning her a groan.
"You are a wicked woman Joanna Lannister" Groaned the Blackfish as he settled his calloused hands on her hips Joanna smiled down at him "Well my Grandmother was the Red Widow from the tale of the Sworn Sword" She said this earned her another groan as she lend down and kissed him deeply.
Joanna pleasured her Riverlands Knight, for the first time in over thirty years she wish she could still bear children, she wished to keep Ser Brynden Tully he was the first man in a very long time who made her feel like a woman and not Lord Tywin Lannister's Widow or Mother of the Queen.
After awhile Brynden dragged him self out of her bed and pulled on his clothes once dressed he lend across the bed and kissed her "Tomorrow night?" He asked as he kissed her neck "If you wish even more madness" She said softly as she pulled him back up to her mouth he smiled at her "I think you may have some of your Grandmother's magic My Lioness, you have enchanted me" He growled as his kissed her deeply and pulled her closer Joanna swotted him before she returned his kiss with equal passion.
Tyrion's Chambers the next day.
Jamie paced back and fourth, Tyrion watched "I saw him!, He had the look of a man who was thoughly sated" He growled Tyrion sighed deeply as his Brother continued to pace "What are we going to do!" He demanded Tyrion blinked "Pardon?" He said Jaime looked at him, "Our Mother is...is...I can't even say it!" Yelled Jaime as he threw himself in to a chair "Mother is trying to spawn with the Blackfish and make Lionfish?" He said with a smirk Jaime glared at him "Your not taking this seriously!" He shouted knowing he sounded likes spoilt child "No I'm not, Mother is still a handsome woman and she is Human and if she wish's to share her bed with Ser Brynden Tully it's her choice, it is not our place to forbid her, and Ser Brynden is of equal birth to Mother I would be more concerned if she was opening her legs to a stable hand, but she's not, she's being discreet and she is not flaunting it in public" He said Jaime frowned at the idea of their Mother having sex, Tyrion smiled at him "Mother can not have any more children not after having me, and even if she had been capable of having children after me, she is well past age of having children safely, we don't have to worry about having any more siblings who are thirty years younger then us" He chuckled softly.
Jaime groaned and buried his head in his hands " You will of course have to get used to being called Uncle" He said softly Jaime's head snapped up, Tyrion grinned "Don't tell any one yet just in case" Said Tyrion, Jaime grinned widely he slide on to the floor and knelt before his Brother "Congratulations Brother" He said in to his ear after he pulled him into a crushing hug.
Joanna's chamber.
Joanna caught Tyrion's smirk "What has you smirking so?" She asked a golden eye brow raised Tyrion smirked "Oh nothing just Jaime saw Ser Brynden leaving your chambers late last night that's all" Said with a grin Joanna blinked a few times "I am a widow, my husband has been dead for almost three years, I have nothing to be ashamed of" She said as she looked at the fire Tyrion still grinned "I had been thinking of what is too be done with Ser Brynden, his Brother is in Ill health, Lord Hoster's son Edmure is his heir, though young he dose not have the mind to rule, his Uncle had ruled in his Brothers name since he took Ill and had to leave the ruling the Riverlands to Edmure after Lysa pleaded with him to help guard the Bloody Gate, I'm thinking that maybe Ser Brynden should share a similar punishment as his Niece, exiled to Riverrun for a time only permitted to leave for family events, he'll of course have to marry to help him rule threw his Nephew, do you know any Lady of suitable birth who could tolerate the Old Trout?" He asked.
After sharing a light super Tyrion lift as he walked down the corridor he came across the Blackfish, who nodded at Tyrion as he past, Tyrion kept a smirk from crossing his face as he spoke once they past each other "Ser Brynden!" Said Tyrion he turned and looked up at the Knight "Lord Tyrion?" He answered Tyrion stared at him "A word of warning Ser Brynden, hurt my Mother and I will feed you bit by bit to Stripes" He said he continued to stare at the Knight with that Tyrion turned and lift.
Brynden blinked for a few times before he walked to Joanna's chambers.
Joanna looked up as Brynden came in "I just had an interesting meeting with your youngest" He said as he sat down, Joanna's lips twitched *Really?" He nodded "Aye he told me if I hurt you he'd feed me bit by bit to that Lion of his" He answered with a shake of his head Joanna smiled at him "We spoke of you, you are to be exiled to Riverrun and not permitted to leave except for family events, it was also decided you are to marry" She said as she poured some wine, Brynden shook his head "I'm to old to Father children, Edmure's children will inherit" He said Joanna nodded "Edmure will inherit Riverrun as will his children but you know Edmure dose not know how to rule, you will rule threw him, your wife will find him a suitable bride to give him his heirs, there are some things a wife does better then a husband, the wife's of the Bannermen will tell the wife of their Liege Lord things they may not say to the Liege Lord" She said as she walked over to him holding to cups.
Brynden looked at her "And what poor woman has your Son selected to be my wife?" He asked as he took the cup, Joanna smiled at him and sat in his lap "Well Ser you did lay with me, I am dishonoured, this can not go unanswered so to save my honour, I must marry" She said her voice made her sound like it was a great sacrifice on her behalf, but the look on her face showed her happiness Brynden blinked several times "Does this displease you?" She asked Brynden "Your Son will marry his Mother to a Knight who won't inherit anything" He said his voice slightly high pitched in shock, he caught her as she tried to stand, he put his arms around her to prevent her from leaving "Of course, it bloody pleases me woman! But what if there are children neither of us are in our youth any more?" He asked.
Joanna lend back in his arms "There will be no children, I was told after I had the Twins that if I had any more children it could cause me to bleed out and damage my womb, so for eight years I took moon tea every time I lay with Tywin, but when Aerys came to Casterly Rock I feared what Aerys would do so I shared Tywin's bed, after one humiliating feast Tywin lay with me to prove that my body had not been ruined by the birth of the Twins, not no long after Aerys refused to betroth Cersei to Rhaegar and he then lift, it was then I discovered I was with child, nine moons later Tyrion pulled him self out of me I was in labour for a day and a half, when he was finally born it seemed to take Creylen an age to stop the bleeding it took me weeks to recover fully, almost a year to be able to leave my rooms unaided I never held Tyrion as a babe, I was too weak to hold him in my arm's he was in such pain..." She broke off Brynden held her "He was in pain?' He asked.
Joanna nodded "His legs began twisting so to prevent his legs from growing crooked they had to be splinted and tightly bound, I remember hearing him crying pain all I wanted to do was go to him and hold him to my breast to sooth him" She said her voice breaking, Brynden pulled her into his neck and tighten his arms around and rubbed her back "It's all right my Lioness, he's become a fine man now" He said as he soothed her as over thirty years of regret flooded out of her.
"When are we to wed, wouldn't want you to become more dishonoured" He said with a grin Joanne laughed wetly into his neck "Soon, my old Trout soon" She said softly as she kissed him on the mouth the Blackfish pulled his betrothed closer and deepened the kiss.
He moaned as kiss grew more impassioned.
Kings-Landing a day later.
Robert returned followed by a pair of Unsullied, it seemed that Lord Tyrion had feared something would happened, so had sent two of his most trusted Unsullied with the King, it seemed the Unsullied had emptied his gourd of wine only to replace it with a much finer wine from Dorne which would not react with his heart medication, along with the Unsullied was a very large Boar that had been terrorising the locals, Ser Barriston Selmy told Eddard that Lancel Lannister had gone very white when the two Unsullied had arrived not long after they had made camp the first night and cut open the gourd emptying the wine, they then calmly stated that Lancel had 'accidently' put a too strong wine in the gourd, Ser Barriston had tasted a little of the wine and discovered it was one of the King's stronger wines, a wine the King could no longer drink due to his heart condition.
Lord Renly had left not long after they had returned, he'd been away from his lands too long he claimed, though Eddard had discovered from Varys that Ser Loras Tyrell had arrived a day earlier at Storms End.
Robert had been shocked to discover what had happened in the few days he was away an assassination attempt, three executions and three betrothals as well as three fostering's.
Also his wife was returning the Westerlands for her health, though she would not be living at Casterly Rock.
Robert had to admit he was not overly upset at the whole idea of his wife being gone.
Robert was sure though he had miss heard when Eddard told him that Joanna Lannister was to marry Ser Brynden Tully in a couple weeks and help him, to help his Nephew to rule the Riverlands.
A few weeks later the Sept of Baelor.
Ser Brynden Tully never thought he would marry let alone marry Tywin Lannister's widow, but here he was standing in the Great Sept of Baelor, dressed in his new finest clothes watching his future bride being escorted towards front of the statues of the God's, his bride was escorted by her Brother Stafford.
He was stunned how beautiful she was, the High Septon stepped forward and began to recite from the book of the Seven.
Brynden slide off her gold and crimson cloak off her shoulders and draped over her shoulders the silver, blue and red cloak symbolising placing her under his protection.
Soon he was kissing her deeply sealing their marriage vows.
A few weeks later Kings-Landing.
Tyrion was finally leaving Kings-Landing along with his Niece, his wife, his Mother, his new step-father, Mycelia as well as the Lord's of the Vale who were returning to the Vale, Lady Catelyn was returning to Winterfell along with her daughter's.
Lord Baelish had been found in one of his brothels stabbed multiple times and tide to a bed his body laid out as though he was a whore waiting to provide a service to client.
They would part ways at the Goldroad, then his Mother would part ways from Lady Catelyn and Mycelia as would the Lord's of the Vale at The Trident where and the remaining party would continue on its way to Winterfell.
Eight months later Riverrun.
Lady Joanna Tully opened the message she had just received from Casterly Rock, her eyes widened as she read the message she placed a hand over her mouth as she reread the message.
Beloved Mother
The Gods have truly blessed us! Arianne went into labour, it went on for a day, I never knew she knew so many cuss words, she threatened to castrate me if I came near her ever again.
I was terrified for her life, every time I heard her scream I envisioned the worst, Aunt Genna was with her during her labour.
Then it happened, she gave birth! SIX TIMES! who knew a woman could carry six at once, Arianne is well, sore but well, Creylen states that Arianne is in excellent condition and could no doubt have more children at a later date, you should have seen the look she gave him when he said that!
We have three Son's and three Daughters two of the boys are Dwarfs as is one of the girls, the first born Son is going to be tall like Jaime.
Once he came out the three Dwarfs came out then the two girls in close succession one after the other, Arianne claims that the first one was the hardest after he came it was easy, she is stating he will be stubborn and come in his own time to anything, she was looking at me when she said it.
We have named our children, Gerold is golden haired, Rohanne (a Dwarf) she seems to have strawberry blond hair! I thought your Grandmother's name was most appropriate after all she was under five feet! Gerion and Tygett for the twin boys Gerion is golden haired but Tygett is black haired like his Mother, Mellario and after much discussion and sending a message to Prince Doran we settled on Elia as both girls are like their brother Tygett black haired.
Be assured all six are healthy and strong though Creylen thinks that Rohanne, Gerion and Tygett may need their legs splintered in a few months if they two are afflicted with twisting of the limbs like I was as a babe.
I must go now, I must write to Jaime!
Your beloved Son
Tyrion.
Joanna looked up when she heard foot steps Brynden saw the tears, he was at wife's side in an instant "What's wrong?" He asked Joanna smiled "All is well my Trout, I am a Grandmother six times over!" She cried as she flung her self at her husband.
News travelled the realms that the Lion from the Tower had been blessed with six children.
Cersei sat remosley in her Manse, she fumed everything was wrong she was supposed to be Queen, she was supposed to be in King's-Landing not here in Lannisport living off of the little Monsters charity, she was forbidden from entering Casterly Rock or even leave her Manse, she was a prisoner, she had been horrified when word reached her that not only was Tyrion's wife great with child but her own Mother had remarried but not a great Lord, her Mother had married a Knight from the Riverlands, Ser Brynden Tully, Catelyn Starks Uncle.
She had been powerless when her children was fostered, Tommen to his Uncle Stannis and Mycelia with the Starks, Tommen was officially betrothed to Lady Shireen and Mycelia was betrothed the Bran Stark.
She sipped her wine, as she stared at the window she frowned, the bells had been ringing all day, she could hear people cheering in the streets, her door opened "What is all this noise" She demanded the servant chewed her lower lip before she spoke "Lady Arianne has given birth your Grace" She said Cersei smirked "Did the little monster she gave birth too rip her up terrible!" She chuckled as she sipped her wine, the servant chewed her lip again before she spoke "Actually your Grace Lady Arianne has successfully been delivered of six healthy babes though three of them are Dwarfs but Lady Arianne is healthy and well and it is said that she could give Lord Tyrion even more children in time" She said she fled when Cersei screamed.
Twenty years later Westerlands.
Lord Gerold Lannister sat astride his horse, he was heading towards Kings-Landing, to be Hand to his Cousin Tommen who had come to the throne two years earlier after his Father had died in his sleep after suffering from a stroke it had been his second his first one, four years before had paralyzed him and left him bed ridden, Joffrey had tried to take the throne claiming that as his Father was incapacitated the crown was his by right, but unfortunately for Joffrey none of the main House's supported him he tried to raise an army but was soundly crushed by the gathered armies of his own Uncles Tyrion and Stannis with Tommen at Stannis's side recently married to his Cousin Shireen.
Joffrey had fled like the coward he was but was soon captured, due to his crime he was executed, leaving Tommen as heir to his Father.
After Robert died Eddard Stark had resigned and handed the office to Stannis, Stannis hand been Hand for almost two years before Stannis slowly seemed to grow fat and turn grey and suffer great pain in his abdomen, Tommen's wrote he Uncle Tyrion saying that his Uncle seemed to have aged ten years since he became sick, at first Tyrion thought that Stannis had been poisoned but it turned out that Stannis had cancer of the stomach and it had spread threw his body.
There was little that could be done for Stannis except make him comfortable in his final months, as a gift Tommen had given Stannis back Storms End as it was his by right of birth, Robert out of spite had given it to his younger Brother Renly, who had died a few years before after contracting a pox from one of his lovers who had caught it off a whore.
Gerold sighed deeply he looked back at what had been his home for twenty years, he had nothing but happy memories of the Rock, there were more Lannister's in the Rock now then there ever had been in almost a hundred years, as Creylen had predicted his Mother had gone on to bear his Father many more children.
He smiled when saw his twin Brothers ride towards him Gerion and Tygett were as close a twins could be save their personalities, Gerion was quick of temper and as good a fighter as any regular sized man, where as Tygett was much calmer then his Brother though was as skilled a fighter "Where's Mother?" Asked knowing that their Father was attending to some trouble with some of his squabbling Bannermen.
Tygett grinned at him "Mellario is having some birthing pains, though the Maester says it's too early but their keeping watch just encase this babe is eager to see the world a little early" He said Gerold shook his head "A little too eager, doesn't sound much like a Stark they take their time" He chuckled "And where is Rickon?" He asked the twins grinned at him "He's hiding, it seems Mellario is going to be like Mother and curse a blue streak as she push's out the new Stark" They chuckled Gerold shook his head "And where are your wives my dear Brothers" He asked the two Dwarfs grinned and pointed behind him standing behind him were two women they too were twins and in honest truth Gerold could never tell the difference between the two Dorneish women, yet his Brothers could though for the next few months he would be able to tell the two women apart as one was with child "Good Sisters" He said to them the two women smiled at him "Good Brother" They said at the time he blinked he knew they did it on purpose and they enjoyed it.
"Grandmother and Grandfather should be arriving in a day or so Mellario will have some company soon" He said the twins nodded "Rohanne looks ready to pop as well though she is very calm about it, you'd think she'd already had a babe, Mother's more worried then Rohanne the Maester's have all said that the babe is well placed, though is the babe going to be like it's Father and Grandfather, normal sized or like us" Asked Gerion, Gerold shook his head not knowing, after all Rohanne had married one of Sandor Clegane's boys and they were all very tall and Rohanne had married the tallest one!.
Gerold sighed "We'd best get going, poor old Shireen is in no condition to control the council" Said as he kicked his horse towards the port his Brothers and his Good Sisters following close behind.
Tommen as it turned out, turn out just like Tyrion had predicted twenty years before he was indecisive but luckily thanks to his wife and his Uncle Stannis he ruled wisely.
When Stannis became ill, Tommen had written to Tyrion asking him be his Hand but Tyrion had told Tommen's being Hand was a young man's role and instead had offered Gerold who among Tyrion's very large brood had his Fathers mind for politics.
As they approached the ship The Old Lion, the crowds stepped aside those who had hats removed them and bowed their heads in respect, the small folk of the Westerlands had come to love the Lannister's like they had not been loved in almost a hundred years, Tyrion and Arianne were common names among the small folk, the Bannermen had never been so loyal.
Gerold looked up at the lone Manse that sat on a hill just outside Lannisport it was his Aunt Cersei's or the Dowager Queen though most of the small folk had all but forgotten her.
King Tommen visited her in secret once a year, though Cersei had very few supporters these days it was too dangerous for them to know where she was.
He wondered if she was watching, he visited her once when he was fifteen she saw him and seemed to think he was her Twin Jaime, she had talked to him saying how she had never believed the filthy lies that her Twin had married Brienne of Tarth.
He had fled when she tried to kiss him, that night he had wept in his Father's stunted arms, apologising for never really believing that his Aunt was too dangerous for him to meet alone because of his resemblance to his Uncle Jaime, though he was a little broader in the face and chest.
Gerold climbed off his horse, he took a deep breath he looked back at Lannisport in the distance he could see the statue of Stripes standing with pride in the town square his mouth open in a roar.
The large Lion had died at the ripe old age of thirty years old, ten years before the Lion was entombed along side the past Lords of Casterly Rock where his Grandmother would be buried there and would his Father, Mother, Uncle, Aunt and his siblings as well as his of many Cousins.
Gerold took another deep breath and released it again he walked up the gang plank, he stood at the front of the ship he heard the crew shouting out orders, after awhile the ship slowly slide out of Lannisport and out to sea before the Old Lion turned and headed towards Kings-Landing, the Lions were returning to Kings-Landing to play the Game of Thrones and they would Hear Them Roar!.
The End.
Done at last!, Finished!, Yahoo! (Doing happy dance!)
One down, two to go, five to start writing I must be insane!.
Keep an eye out for my five other stories not sure when I will start uploading them.
Tytos's Folly GOT alternate cannon/universe? Starts per series.
The Halfman and the Girl from Naathi GOT season 5 alternate. Inspired by a supposed spoiler of season 8 concerning Tyrion and Missandei (most likely not true but I can dream).
Once Upon A Realm, my first cross over with Once Upon A Time set in a slightly alternate season seven of GOT and the end of season six of OUAT.
Time Rewinded Tyrion, Jon and Margaery get sent back in time to the beginning of season One to prevent the Knight King's victory over the living.
Foothold set post season One of Threshold, inspired by an interview with one of the producers of Threshold who said that if there had been a second season then they would have done an episode where it explores that because of Ramsey's size he was immune to the alien signal.
As you may have noticed I am a Peter Dinklage fan I will only write stories that concern his characters in GOT or Threshold.
Please review my stories.
Is there any female characters you'd like Tyrion to have a relation ship with (No Sansa I'm not a huge Sanrion fan) only full grown women please I don't do older men having unhealthy relationships with characters that are still very clearly still children.
Not counting Doctor Who!
