Blackreach:

King's Landing:

The Great Sept of Baelor was surrounded. The entire Ninth Legion as well as some Crownlander Houses had surrounded the Sept leaving no way for the Sparrows to escape. The message to the Sparrows was clear, they could surrender or they could remain in the Sept. The Sept could not be stormed for two reasons, one was because the Sept was still considered a sacred place to the worshippers of the Seven and storming it would paint Martin in a bad light. The other factor was that the Sparrows had a few prisoners that could be harmed if they stormed the Sept and so the only option was to wait. This was very similar to the Defiance of Duskendale where Lord Darkyn kept King Aerys II prisoner for half a year believing that Tywin Lannister would offer better terms. This was similar as the High Sparrow believed that Martin would give in to the Sparrows demands and one time, the High Sparrow had appeared on a Balcony and tried to convince Martin to repent when he was inspecting the Sept.

Martin had shouted back up calling him a madman and reminded the High Sparrow of the Defiance of Duskendale. By this point, word had spread around the Seven Kingdoms about what the Sparrows had done and as a result, forces from the reach had joined the fight as they had Alessia Tyrell and Lord Willas also believed they had Loras as well since he had gone missing escorting Alessia. Because of the similarities between this event and the Defiance of Duskendale, many of the smallfolk had begun to name this event as the Defiance of the Sparrows and it seemed that this was not going to end well with the Sparrows.

Legate Skulnar along with Lord Bronn were meeting with Angi and Noster "Legate, a group of Sparrows recently tried to force their way out of the Sept. They failed in the end but put up a massive fight, they seem willing to die for their cause." Angi stated

"If they wish to die for a pointless cause then let them!" Bronn snorted "This uprising will do no one any good."

Noster then spoke up "We also received a message from Tyene which we need to pass on to the King." He stated as he pulled out a folded piece of parchment.

"Take it to the King then." Skulnar ordered "In the meantime, I'll carry on keeping the peace here." Thankfully, there had been no major incidents involving the Smallfolk as the majority of them agreed that the Sparrows were a danger to the city. Only the very religious folk disagreed but there were few in number and unlike the Sparrows, they had no desire to die. Martin was still a very popular King anyway and he didn't want his actions here to damage his reputation.

...

Inside the Red Keep, Martin had gathered the Small Council in the Council Chambers. But there was someone else in the room and that person was not happy at all.

"These peasants have your sister and you sit here and do nothing!" the voice of the King's mother Cersei shouted. Following the fall of King Joffrey, Cersei had been stripped of her political power, she was still allowed to live a life of luxury but she had no power. Cersei would have wanted to try and regain power but knew that it was a fool's errant. She had no friends and Martin's councillors were too loyal to be bribed or intimidated. Beside Cersei's father Cersei Tywin Lannister would not help Cersei as it was her fault that the Civil War began even if Joffrey wasn't a bastard born of incest. Joffrey was mad and unfit to be King and only Cersei believed otherwise. But she did have a redeeming quality, the love of her children which was why she was so mad right now.

"I can't just storm the Sept!" Martin hissed "Believe me though, after what that fanatic did I want nothing more than to take his head. But if I storm the Sept it will damage the reputation I have built up over the years. I have a plan but I need to wait for information from Tyene to be sure."

Then Captain Camarlo entered the room "Your Grace." He greeted "Scout Noster has something to report."

"Let him in." Martin ordered as Noster One Eye was allowed in.

"Your Grace." Noster greeted "I have brought a message from Tyene." He handed Martin the letter.

Martin read the letter and sighed which made Grandmaester Ebrose look at him "Bad news?" he questioned.

"Good news and bad news." Martin replied "Tyene had reported that the Sparrows don't know about the secret tunnels hidden under the city so we can use them to send in some Blades Agents."

Delphine spoke up "I'll send Ferrum, Jena and Baragon through the tunnels." She stated "They'll get Alessia out."

"But there's more." Martin stated "It's not just my sister they'll have to help. Tyene had informed me that they also have Loras Tyrell prisoner as well. He's in a worse state than Alessia and he'll break if he's not recovered soon. Get them both." Martin then looked at the council "Leave us; I need to speak with Delphine alone. Lord Tarly, make sure that the men are prepared to strike if they need to."

"It will be done Your Grace." Lord Tarly stated and then he left with the others including Noster and Cersei leaving Martin alone.

"There's something else Tyene warned us but I didn't want anyone else to know of this." Martin stated "Tyene found one of the Mad King's Wildfire caches under the Sept."

"Wildfire?" Delphine asked

Martin nodded "The Sparrows don't know of it yet but Runa could decide to ignite it to destroy us. Find Brynjolf, ask him to send some of his agents to dilute the cache, I can't allow it to go off."

"I'll take the Blades to the Ragged Flagon." Delphine stated "I'll let Brynjolf know and he'll sends some agents with them." Then she left the room leaving Martin alone as he looked out of a window.

With so many enemies, Martin was stressed out "Being King is hard work." He sighed "It was much easier when I didn't have all of the authority."

Winterfell:

Winterfell was full of many important people of the North who had gathered for the Wedding of Lady Sansa Stark to Domeric Bolton, the heir of the Dreadfort. This would unite two powerful houses that had a history of bad blood between them. As Sansa was the oldest daughter, this was an important wedding so many of the Lords had arrived. These lords included lords who Lord Robb was familiar with such as Greatjon Umber, Rickard Karstark, Wyman Manderly and Domeric's father Roose Bolton. Sadly Galbert Glover had written a letter that he was unable to attend along with Maege Mormont. This was because of the recent news of the rise of Euron Greyjoy and there were fears of an attack so both houses had to remain behind to protect their homes.

The lords of the Minor Houses had also arrived such as Howland Reed, Lord Cley Cerwyn who had become lord as his father had died during the war, Lord Helman Tallhart, Lady Barbery Dustin and Lord Rodrik Ryswell who was Domeric's grandfather. It was not just the lords that arrived, the wedding would take place in Winterfell's Godswood and they needed someone to perform the ceremony. Catelyn would have preferred the Wedding take place in Winterfell's Sept and have Septon Chayle perform the ceremony but because Domeric was a devout worshipper of the Old Gods, Roose Bolton would not have that. So the Priestess Dancia Pure Springs have arrived. She may be a priestess for the Nine Divines but that was close enough for the Northmen.

Everyone sat on benches in the Godswood around the Heart Tree with the Stark and Bolton families sat on the front bench. Dancia stood at the foot of the Heart Tree with Domeric who was wearing a suit of red armour that had been specially made for him. Domeric was a warrior and the future heir of the Dreadfort. While he did not have the malicious attitude that the Boltons were known for, he was still a cunning warrior and not one to wear fancy robes and so he decided to have his wedding in his best suit of armour.

As the lords took their seats, the wedding began, bells were rung by Sansa's old friends, Jeyne Poole and Beth Cassel as Sansa was escorted between the rows of benches by her brother Robb Stark who would be the one to give her to her husband.

As the two of them reached the foot of the Heart Tree, Dancia began her speech "Here in this place of natural beauty, under the eyes of the Old Gods, the Divines and the Seven, we are gathered here to witness the binding of two great houses. Who here gives the bride and the groom."

"I lord Roose Bolton, Lord of the Dreadfort give my son Domeric Bolton as the groom." Roose stated

"I Robb Stark, Lord of Winterfell and Warden of the North give my sister Sansa as the bride." Robb stated

Sansa and Domeric stepped forward while Roose and Robb stepped back as the bride and groom faced each other as Dancia stepped in between you with a ribbon in her hands "In the name of the Old Gods and the New, I bind you as husband and wife, to be together as one from now until the end of your days. Do you accept this?"

"I do." Sansa and Domeric said at the same time.

Dancia smiled and looked at Domeric "You may kiss the bride."

Domeric leaned forward and placed a deep and passionate kiss on Sansa's lips which Sansa accepted and there were cheers from the crowd.

Fort Snowhawke: The North:

Theon Greyjoy was currently on watch at the front gate of Fort Snowhawke. Most days things were quiet for the Legion although there were reports of bandits hiding in the hills and the Legion sending scouts to find these outlaws so that they could be brought to justice.

"Feeling board Greyjoy?" a voice called and Theon turned to see his commanding officer, Legate Galmar Stone-Fist walking towards him.

"I guess in times of peace there isn't much action." Theon commented

"There isn't." Galmar stated "But tracking down and taking out outlaws gives the legion soldiers experience with the terrain and helps them prepare for combat even if fighting outlaws is very different from fighting actual armies. But we all know that it's only a matter of time before war begins. Our legion is currently at peace but the Ninth Legion is not. They were called to King's Landing to deal with a group of fanatics causing chaos in the city. They have started an open rebellion against the throne but they have no support. They'll quickly be dealt with."

Theon just nodded and carried on looking and he saw something approaching the Keep. It was a group of people marching and he looked at Galmar "Hey Legate, were any patrols expected to be back yet? There are some people approaching."

Galmar shook his head "The patrols were not suppose to report in for another few days." He came closer to the wall to get a better look.

As the men approached, Theon saw one of them holding a white flag of truce but it was his armour that caught his eye, it had the symbol of House Greyjoy engraved on the breastplate. Then as the man approached the Keep, Theon gasped when he saw who is was "That's m uncle Victorian!" he gasped "What's he doing here?"

Victorian Greyjoy came over to the Keep "I am Victorian Greyjoy." He called out "And I request to speak with the commanding officer of this keep."

Galmar narrowed his eyes at Theon's uncle "I am Galmar Stone-Fist, Legate of this keep." He stated "Now what is it you wish to speak to me about?"

"I have information to give to you about what's going on at the Iron Island." Victorian stated "And I also wish to speak with my niece and nephew, I need their help."

Theon could only stare at his uncle, just what had happened on the Iron Islands since his father had died.

Solstheim:

Jon Snow and his group walked along the path as they went towards Skaal Village. They had bought a map from Raven Rock which they were able to use to find their way towards Skaal Village. The trip was not easy because there was often no path as the southern part of the island was covered in ash as there could be ash falling from the sky and so they had been warned not to sleep outside. The wildlife they had seen while travelling was something that none of them had ever seen before. They saw large jellyfish creatures called Netchs that were floating around but they had been told that they were harmless. They had also come across large grasshopper like creatures known as ash hoppers that were hostile towards them but they had quickly been killed when they attacked.

But the biggest threat they had faced had been the risen dead they had been warned about. They were known as Ash spawn and were undead creatures made of the ash. Jon was curious about this ash spawn but he didn't think the Night King was involved with this and it wasn't just because the Night King was far away. A Dark Elf had informed them that they don't bury their dead; they burn then and then sprinkle the ash so the Night King could raise them. Thankfully they had come out of the ashlands and were now in the northern snowlands of Solstheim.

"Ah snow." Tormund smiled "Beautiful, I can breathe again. Down south the air smells like pigshit."

"You've never been in southern Westeros before." Jon commented

"I've been to White Harbour." Tormund stated

"That's still in the North." Jon replied and Tormund blew a raspberry in response. That got a laugh out of everyone; despite what was going on they were still able to get a good laugh.

"I just hope our mission is worth it." Grenn stated "I don't think these Skaal people will just give up their secrets."

"We'll just have to work to earn their trust." Serena stated "But what worries me is that we don't know if this Stalhrim even works on White Walkers, if it doesn't then our whole mission will end up being a waste of time."

"We'll just have to hope that it isn't." Jon stated.

Then Ygritte stopped walked and when she turned around, she smiled "Jon, I can see houses in the distance."

"Houses?" Jon questioned and looked at where Ygritte was pointed and he too saw a group of houses in the distance "That must be Skaal village."

"You're right, that is the village of the Skaal." A voice called which resulted in everyone turning to see a blond haired woman standing on top of a snow bank. She wore armour that was engraved to have animals on the Paldrons and she wielded two axes on her hips. "I will only ask you this once, who are you and why do you seek the Skaal, not many outsiders would visit us, and you're clearly not from Raven Rock."

"My name is Jon Snow and these are my companions." Jon stated "We wished to speak with the Skaal."

The woman looked at them "My name is Frea, daughter of the Skaal Sharman." She stated "I overheard what you were talking about and we don't just trade our secrets to anyone."

"I thought you would say that." Tormund muttered.

"But if you prove yourselves to be friends of the Skaal then we may teach you the secrets of Stalhrim. I also overheard you talking about this undead, my father may wish to speak with you, he has dreamt about the undead rising. He may want to hear what is going on. I'll take you to the village but be warned, my people will defend ourselves if you prove to be a danger to us."

"We understand." Jon stated "We don't want to hurt anyone." Then Frea began leading them towards Skaal Village.

Astapor: Essos:

The City of Astapor, known as the Red City, was one of the three major cities located at Slaver's Bay. Of the three major cities, Astapor was the smallest but was still a very important city in Essos. The three Slaver's Bay Cities were once colonies of the Old Empire of Ghis before the Valyrian Freehold destroyed the Empire. The three cities were proud of their heritage as shown by the massive harpy statue above Astapor's harbour; the Harpy was the symbol of the Ghiscari. Astapor was actually crumbling with its wall and buildings starting to crumble and watchtowers were lightly manned. Because of this, it would seem like an easy city to take but there was one thing that made everyone think otherwise, the Unsullied.

The Unsullied are slave soldiers who are trained from the young age of five and were the most disciplined soldiers around. These soldiers were castrated and did nothing but fight in the old Ghiscari way of fighting. The Unsullied had proved themselves to be great soldiers during the Century of Blood when a force of three thousand Unsullied alongside the Blades fought the Dothraki and Qohor and prevented further Dothraki expansion.

Rhaenys Targaryen was walking through the city towards Plaza of Pride which is where the Slave Masters showed their wares. She was dressed in a silky dress made of Myrish lace. Her cover for this trip was to be the daughter of a powerful magister from Myr who had been sent to buy Unsullied for an upcoming war to gain power in the Dothraki Sea. Dothraki power was collapsing since the destruction of Vaes Dothrak and the cities of Volantis, Qohor, Norvos and Lorath had begun campaigns to expand their territory. Her cover was to make it seems Myr was to get involved. Rhaenys' Dornish appearance also matched people from Myr so it wouldn't be questioned and Aegon had warned her not to use Valyrian so she could surprise the Good Masters. Valyrian was spoken in Myr but so was the common tongue so it would be easy to make it seem she couldn't speak Valyrian.

Rhaenys Targaryen walked alongside her Guards, Rory Duckfield and Franklyn Flowers and they looked disgusted at the Plaza of Punishment. This was the first part of the city that slaves saw and it was meant to be a warning as disobedient and rebellious slaves had been crucified here and left to die. Rhaenys didn't say anything as they entered the Plaza of Pride where a meeting had been arranged between her and the Good Master known as Kraznys Mo Nakloz who was the Slave Trader for the Unsullied.

Kraznys had a mean look on him, he was bald headed and had a thick beard and a sly sneer on his face. He sat on a stone chair next to a dark skinned woman with thick black hair who was clearly not from Astapor and she was a slave since she had a collar around her neck.

"So the whore is finally here" Kraznys sneered, he had no idea that Rhaenys knew what he was saying but it made it clear to her that Kraznys was cruel. "Missandei, introduce me."

The slave known as Missandei spoke up "The Good Master Kraznys welcomes you to the Great City of Astapor." Kraznys spoke about the Unsullied "He says that the Unsullied have been standing here for a day without food and water waiting for your arrival."

Rhaenys looked at the gathered Unsullied. There were hundreds of them all standing in formation with a spear and a shield. "They're impressive." She said simply.

Kraznys stood up and spoke again and Missandei translated "The Unsullied have no feelings, no emotion, once their master gives and order, they obey and unlike sellswords, they don't flee from a battle. The only ones who warriors who could rival the Unsullied are the Order of the Blades." That might seem boasting but the Blades were the only true rivals to the Unsullied, when they were a sellsword order, they never took contracts from the Slaver Cities due to their moral code of no Slavery but they were still respected for assisting the defeat of the Unsullied. Kraznys stood up and pulled a sharp knife and cut the nipple off one of the Unsullied who stood there not reacting. When Rhaenys objectives, Kraznys just snorted

"This whore feels for his nipples, doesn't she know that we cut off their balls." He stated

Rhaenys knew what he said but didn't react and Missandei spoke to her "Good Master Kraznys says that the Unsullied feels no pain. They have no bloodlust and will not rape or pillage since they have no need."

"How long does it take to become an Unsullied?" Rhaenys questioned.

Kraznys smirked "Tell the bitch about their training."

"Training for Unsullied starts at 5; some are selected when they're younger. They train all day in the ways of the sword, spear and shield. Only one in four selected survives until they become full Unsullied. They are given a puppy that they have to kill after caring for it after a year. Then for their final test, before they truly become Unsullied, they must find a young slave child, kill it and give the child's mother a silver coin for payment."

That was the worst of them, killing children was the worst but to have many killed just for to create a warrior, this practice had to end. Rhaenys looked at Kraznys "How many Unsullied are there?"

Missandei looked at Kraznys "The Myrish Girl asks how many Unsullied there are."

Kraznys sneered "Tell this bitch that we train Unsullied all the time and right now we have 8000 ready and 5000 currently in training. Tell this whore to hurry up and buy what she wants, we have other potential customers."

"The Good Master Kraznys says that we have 8000 Unsullied plus 5000 in training." Missandei stated "He also asks how many you wish to buy?"

"How much for all of them?" Rhaenys asked

Missandei was shocked by what she said and when she translated, Kraznys laughed "Tell this whore that she'll never have enough for all of them. She can probably purchase 100 with her ship."

"Good Master Kraznys says that the price for all of the Unsullied is very expensive." Missandei stated trying to be polite to Rhaenys "You may be able to purchase 100."

"And because I like the look of her tits, I'll give her an extra 10." Kraznys added "I'll give her an extra 20 if she stops whimpering, how can this beggar queen buy the remaining?"

Rhaenys had to resist rolling her eyes to avoid that she knew what he said. Missandei still translated differently "And because the Good Master is Kind, he'll grant you an extra 30. How do you plan to purchase the remaining Unsullied?"

Rhaenys looked at Duckfield and he brought the chest that Connington had given her and opened it to reveal the three dragon eggs "I have 3 dragon eggs to trade. Two should be enough to purchase the Unsullied. I will grant the third for the ones in training."

Kraznys eyes widened when he saw the three dragon eggs. They were some of the rarest items in the known world and worth selling to buy Unsullied. Missandei translated what Rhaenys said to Kraznys. Kraznys said something and Missandei translated "Do you wish to sell all three to buy all of the Unsullied?"

"I do." Rhaenys stated and looked at Missandei "And I think I'll like to take you as well." Missandei looked shocked at this "You can be a gift to me."

Missandei translated but Kraznys didn't really care, it seemed that the dragon eggs meant more to him than his slaves. Kraznys agreed to the sale and Missandei translated what he said "The purchase will be done tomorrow at the Plaza of Pride. You'll exchange the dragon eggs for the Unsullied."

"Agreed." Rhaenys stated "Until then, I shall return to my ship." Then she and her two guards left the Plaza and went back to their ship.

Blackreach: Essos:

The ruins of Blackreach were an old abandoned underground city made by an Ancient Civilization known as the Dwemer, a very advanced civilization that was even more advanced than Valyrian Freehold as they could make metal monsters and power them by magic. Blackreach was huge and connected Dwemer cities all over Essos, you could move from the Bone Mountains and go across the Dothraki Sea underground, to scholars, Blackreach would have been a dream to research because of the amount of knowledge that could be learnt. The only problem were the activated Dwemer contraptions and the Falmer, a race of feral creatures that had once been Slaves to the Dwemer and once a civilized people known as the Snow Elves. Now they were just blind feral creatures that would attack on site.

But knowledge of this place meant nothing to Viserys Targaryen. He was here for one thing and that was the Elder Scroll. He knew that the scroll was located here in Blackreach but he had no idea where. He had found a hut that seemed to have once been used by a researcher known as Sinderion who had been researching a plant known as Crimson Nirnroot. Viserys wasn't interested in his research but after learning how poisonous Crimson Nirnroot was, he taken the research in hopes that it might be useful. He still had no luck in finding the Elder Scroll but at least there were plenty of things to take his rage on and practise his new powers on. Viserys had never been a skilled fighter but his training with the Mythic Dawn, he had become better and the magic he learnt blasted the Dwemer machines to pieces. But he was frustrated that he was unable to find the Elder Scroll. He had found a group of humans living around some of the ruins and he had kidnapped one of them and brought him back to the cabin so he could find the information he wanted.

As the man he had kidnapped woke up, Viserys glared at him "Alright scum!" he snapped "You are going to tell me what I want to know now!"

The man looked around confused "Wait, where am I?" he questioned "Who are you?"

Viserys slapped the man hard "You don't ask questions here. I am Viserys Targaryen, rightful King OF Westeros and there is something here in Blackreach that will allow me to claim my throne."

"If I tell you will you help me escape, I've been held prisoner here for too long?" the man begged.

Viserys glared at the man "Just tell me where the Elder Scroll is?" he yelled as he held Mehrunes razor in his hand

"Alright, I'll tell you!" the man gasped "I don't know what an Elder Scroll is but I have heard of some great power located in the Tower of Mzark located across the river. Our Falmer Masters worship a Great Dragon that has been trapped down here for years."

That caught Rhaegar's interest "A dragon you say?"

"I heard some call it Vulthuryol and the dragon gets enraged at being trapped down here."

Viserys narrowed his eyes at the man "I have the blood of the dragon within me!" he hissed "I am the blood of the Great Valyrian Freehold, dragon blood runs through my veins."

"I doubt that will mean anything to Vulthuryol but this power at Mzark could train him but it's locked away in some kind of ancient Dwemer mechanism. The Falmer something called a lexicon located in the Debate Hall where the Giant Orb is. That is needed to activate the mechanism but you'll have to solve the puzzle to get the power."

"And what is this lexicon?" Viserys demanded

"It's a small blue cube that has Dwemer designs on." The prisoner stated "You can't get the power without it."

"Well then I'll just have to get it. I kidnapped you so I can get this cube." Viserys sneered "And I have no further use of you anymore." With one big swing, he slashed the man's throat with Mehrunes razor and the man chocked on his blood before his head fell forward and he breathed no more.

Now that Viserys knew what to do, he left the building and went to fetch the lexicon to get the scroll. But now he always had to use this scroll to get something else. The Targaryens had their own Dragons and now he would get one, one that might be even more powerful than Aegon I's dragon Balerion.

Beyond the Wall: Ruins:

The Night's Watchmen along with the Dawnguard walked through the old ruin. So far they had not seen any of the undead yet and this worried Mormont. Ollrod was also afraid, they had seen empty coffins as they walked through the rooms and the tomb lids had been thrown off. Where had the bodies gone? Mormont suspected that they had already been raised by they needed to find out what was going on.

The Dawnguard Healer Florentius discovered Ancient writing on the wall. While he couldn't translate it all one name did come up, Vokun, the name of the man who is buried here. Ollrod helped copy the writing so Florentius could find out more when he got back to Fort Dawnguard.

Eventually, they made it into a large room on a balcony but when Mormont saw what was ahead, he quickly ducked into cover. He only allowed a few to come near which were Beric, Thoros, Ollrod, Florentius and a few Night's Watchmen. What they saw stunned them, a huge gathering of undead around a large tomb. Ollrod saw the Dragur undead that he had encountered with Jon last year. Some of the dragur were lightly armoured but others were heavy. The White Walker Wights were also there as well and even a White Walker.

The White Walker approached the tomb and began chanting in a strange language but Florentius caught the name Vokun being said. There was a massive rumbling noise and the lid of the tomb flew off. Everyone watched in shock as new type of undead rose from the tomb, this one was floating in the air and wore some kind of golden armour and had a bronze mask on. This may have been Vokun, the man who was buried here. The White Walker and Vokun began speaking in their ancient language.

Mormont had seen enough "It's time we leave here now." He said to Florentius "Let's get out of here before they sees. If they see us, they we best get out of here as fast as we can before we get trapped."

Ollrod nodded in fear and began getting up, he did not want to be in a similar situation like last time where he got chased by undead wolves. He lost his friend Lynoit when that happened. They began to leave the room and then they went back towards the entrance, fast.

They were almost at the entrance where they had entered the tomb when they heard growling. Ollrod had slowly turned around to see Vokun standing there along with a horde of undead and the White Walker standing next to him. Only one word came out of Ollrod's mouth "RUN!"

Everyone didn't need telling twice and the soon made a run for the door. Thoros and Florentius knew magic and fired a few spells to try and hold the undead off but there were so many and Lem Lemoncloak and Pello Greenbeard pulled their swords out to fight.. Ollrod only hoped that they could get out of there and head back to the Wall so they could find a way of stopping the undead once and for all.

King's Landing: Secret Tunnels near Great Sept:

Blade Knights Ferrum, Jena and Baragon arrived at the entrance to the Great Sept using the Secret Tunnels under the city. These secret tunnels had been built during the rule of King Meagor the Cruel and there were a way of getting around the city without anyone knowing. They had been neglected over the years but had been restored and the Blades now knew where each tunnel left. If you didn't know your way around then it was like getting lost in a maze since the tunnels had many dead ends to make travelling confusing for invaders. But the Blades knew the way to the Great Sept and soon they arrived at the hatch which would lead them to the Great Sept. The three Blades emerged from the tunnels and were in a small dark room that was empty. But they knew that this was just the front as on one wall was the back of a cupboard that had a false back panel. With the flick of a small switch, the panel opened to reveal a storeroom where a woman dressed in the clothing of a Septa was waiting.

The Septa looked at them "Well it took you guys long enough." The voice of Tyene stated who was this Septa.

"What's the situation Tyene?" Jena asked?

"Right now we're in luck, his holiness the High Sparrow has gathered all of the Sparrows in the main hall of the Sept. That leaves the prisoners unattended but we'll only have a short while to gather both Alessia and Loras who are in cells next to each other."

"So we grab them and get out?" Ferrum questioned

"We do." Jena stated "King Martin hopes we can avoid bloodshed here."

"If we hurry then we will." Tyene stated "Now come one, I know a way to the cells."

...

Alessia sat in her cell with her eyes glaring at the cell wall. She didn't know how long she had been in this cell but she refused to break. That bitch Septa Unella tried to make her confess by denying her water but she wasn't having any of it. One time she knocked the bucket of water in her face and threw the straw at her. She would swing for this, she entered the city she was exiled from and now joined an order that was causing trouble. The Sparrows were fanatics which had no place in today's world. The Sparrows were even harsher towards Loras who was imprisoned next door. He too had managed to be strong but he was being beaten and threatened with castration. That was going too far and the High Sparrow had ordered the Sparrows who threatened Loras out of the room. This High Sparrow may seem like a kind man and in some ways he was. He was good to the poor but he had become obsessed and fanatic which made him a major threat and so he had to be taken out. If he had just stayed quiet and helped the poor then everything would have been fine. But instead he tried to create a holy crusade which would only bring chaos; the days of the Faith having power were over.

Alessia groaned when her cell door opened "I told you that I'm not confessing to false crimes bitch!" she hissed thinking it was Unella

"I'm a bitch." A woman laughed which was not Unella "Well you're not the first one to call me that. My sisters call me that sometimes."

Alessia looked and gasped when she saw Tyene Sand dressed in a Septa's outfit smirking along with Blade Knight Ferrum "What are you doing?" she asked

"What do you think we're doing?" Ferrum questioned "We're getting you and Loras out of here. But we have to hurry before the Sparrows return to their normal duties, we don't want to have a fight." Alessia nodded and left the cell with them. They found Jena and Baragon helping a beaten Loras from his cell and they quickly went back the way they came and into the storage room where they had entered the Sept. They quickly sealed the false door panel and then they quickly entered the tunnels just as they heard the sound of shouts, the escape had been discovered but it was too late, they were already out of Sept and now the Sparrows had lost their hostages. But even the Blades knew that this fight wasn't over yet.

King's Landing harbour: The Fo'c's'le:

The Fo'c's'le was a small tavern and a secret brothel located at the harbour of King's Landing. The name was short for Forecastle which was the upper deck of a ship forward of the foremast. This tavern was popular with local sailors who wanted a quick drink or to bed a cheap wench. This brothel was meant to be cheap and not like the rick brothels in King's Landing and so the brothel was in poor condition.

But right now, it was the meeting of the Mythic Dawn as another agent of theirs, a Sailor known as Isolde was staying at the tavern and there was a hidden tunnel. Isolde along with Runa and Jearl were in the tavern discussing their plan to strike at the King. They would use the tunnel to reach the Red Keep where they would meet with Hans Black Nail who would get them to the King and then they would strike. Soon the King would be dead and the chaos would allow the Mythic Dawn to strike and take over Westeros with the power granted to them with the Elder Scroll that Viserys would bring back.

"You remember the plan?" Runa asked Jearl

"Me and you will sneak in and perform the mission." Jearl replied as she did not want their plan overheard by the other people in the tavern.

Isolde then added "And I stay here to smuggle you out of King's Landing." She stated

"We all have our parts and soon our mission will be complete." Runa smirked "Now we should get going, we only have one shot at this, no second chances and no turning back."

"Dawn is breaking." Jearl smirked

Fort Snowhawk:

Victorian Greyjoy stood in the office of Legate Galmar along with his brother's children, Yara and Theon.

"Niece, nephew." Victorian greeted "It is good to see you two again."

"Why are you here uncle?" Theon asked

"I came here to request help." Victorian stated "Do you have any idea what has been going on back home."

"We know that our father has died." Yara stated "But we thought you would have taken over."

"I would have." Victorian stated "Aeron called a Kingsmoot to cement my rule. The Iron Islands have become unstable, lords are divided on what to do but I got enough support to prevent them from attacking the mainland again."

"That would have been a bad idea." Theon stated "King Martin would have cracked down on the Iron Islands."

"I agreed." Victorian stated "It looked like I would win until Euron turned up."

"Uncle Euron?" Theon gasped "I thought he was exiled?"

"He was" Victorian replied "But since Balon is dead, that exile is lifted. But he was one behind Balon's death, he didn't even deny it."

"Surely the lords wouldn't have sided with him if just stated he killed their overlord?" Yara questioned

Victorian sighed "Euron won them over, he called Balon a failure and he proposed something the Ironborn love, conquest. He plans to launch a full invasion of Westeros itself."

"He's mad" Theon stated "Euron could never do that, the Legions would defeat him if he went far inland."

"That's what I thought" Victorian replied "But it seems Euron has some new allies, allies who are now considered enemy of your King, the Mythic Dawn."

That made everyone gasp, Euron was a member of the Mythic Dawn Cult "If Euron works for the Mythic Dawn then he's our enemy." Galmar stated

"Many of the Ironborn lords trust him." Victorian stated "The Ironborn love warfare and conquest and this is a chance for them to regain the power they once had. But I see this as madness; if Euron is not stopped then this will be the end for the Ironborn as a whole."

Theon knew that much of Westeros wouldn't really care about the Ironborn culture dying out, but Euron was clearly a danger and had to be stopped "Do you know what Euron is doing?" he asked

"He's probably preparing his forces to strike. He mentioned that the Mythic Dawn are close to retrieving an artefact of great power which would grant them the ability to conquest."

Theon looked at Yara and Galmar, Yara wanted to help but Galmar was conflicted "What do you think we should go Legate?" Theon asked.

Galmar sighed "I don't like the idea of helping the Ironborn, many lords hate them for what they've done over the years. But Euron is a danger and needs to be stopped. I can't give any aid to help as I can't do that without the King's Orders but I will not stop you two from helping your uncle."

Yara stood up "I will help uncle, Euron killed my father and he must pay. You are also right, his ideas are madness and will lead us to ruin."

Theon joined in "I'm not too fond of the Ironborn culture anymore but Euron must be stopped so I will help too."

Victorian smiled "Thank you." He stated "I will take you back to my ships where my allies will inform you of our plans."

Skaal Village: Solstheim

Frea led Jon and his group the Skaal's village. Here Jon saw that Skaal village was more like a village as they lived in properly built houses, Jon would never had said it out loud but he thought that the Skaal lived more like the Free Folk beyond the Wall. Here the houses were properly build with stone and wood and seemed to be properly furnished inside. These Skaal seemed to live better than most commoners in Westeros. The Skaal clothing was more like the wildlings as they wore grey outfits that were similar to Tormund and Ygrittes.

"This is our home." Frea said to them "My people have lived here for centuries and we've always been peaceful. We hunt and we fish and never get involved in the outside world. We prefer it that way but I'll see what my father and our Chief have to say about what you've told me." She led them into the largest of the house which was right at the end of a row of smaller houses so this looked like the home of the Chief.

As they entered the House, they found two people sitting next to a fire. One was an elderly man with long greying hair and a thick grey beard while the other was woman who had long black hair "Are you sure this is what you saw Storn?" the woman asked

"I'm sure chief Fanari." The man known as Storn replied "The All-Maker gave me a vision that an Ancient Foe has risen in the land far away and we will play a role in defeating them."

"But how will we do that?" Fanari asked "The Skaal don't get involved in affairs that don't affect us. We've lived here for thousands of years, why would we leave."

"My visions are not fully clear but I guess the All-Maker will show me." Storn stated and then looked to see Frea enter with Jon "Ah, my daughter, I see you have brought some guests."

"I have father." Frea replied "I found them nearby, they were searching for us."

Fanari stood up "Greetings, I am Fanari Strong-Voice, Chief of the Skaal and this is Storn Crag-Strider, Shaman of the Skaal."

"My name is Jon Snow." Jon replied "These are my friends, we were sent here by the Night's Watch in search of something."

Storn looked at them "My visions from the All-Maker told me that a company of Black men would come seeking weapons made from Ice."

Jon sighed as he tried to find the right way of saying this "We face a great enemy known as the White Walkers, ice demon like creatures that cannot be killed by normal weapons, only Dragonglass and Valyrian Steel has the ability to kill them. We hoped that this kind of weapon made from ice might help."

"You must mean Stalhrim." Fanari stated "I can see why you wish to obtain these weapons. But the Skaal cannot grant the ways of crafting them to just anyone, Stalhrim is sacred to my people and we need to know that it will not be abused so I must ask that you prove yourselfs to us."

"If it helps us defeat the White Walkers in the end then we will do whatever you ask." Jon stated

Fanari smiled "I am glad to see that you are polite to us. Not everyone is like that. This task I give you might seem simple but it could be very hard, I am asking you to help find a missing member of the Skaal. A woman known as Eydis."

"That doesn't seem too hard." Grenn stated

Serena tapped him on the shoulder "I doubt it will be very easy."

"It won't be." Frea stated "I know who the Chief speaks about, Eydis met this Dark Elf man known as Ulyn who convinced her to leave the village with him and settle down. I didn't like this man but Eydis fell in love with him, I just think he was trying to use her. Our head hunter, Wulf Wild Blood said that he found a camp near the Dwemer ruins of Fahlbtharz south west of here."

"If you can find Eydis and make sure that she is safe then I will grant you the right to know how to smith Stalhrim." Fanari stated

"And where are these ruins?" Serena asked

"Here, I'll mark them on your map but I'm afraid I had no idea what waits you inside." Storn stated "But be careful, these ruins are known to be very dangerous so go in as a group and be careful what you touch."

Winterfell: The North:

The Wedding feast was held in the Great Hall. Robb Stark and Roose Bolton had wasted no expense to make the wedding feast grand for the new husband and bride. Robb and his family as well as Lord Roose sat at the grand table at the back of the Great Hall but Sansa and Domeric sat in the middle as they were the centre of the feast. The other guests sat on the other tables and many lords of the North had arrived since this was the wedding of one of the major Bannermen of the North. The Karstarks, Umbers, Manderlys and Glovers had all arrived and everyone was eating and drinking.

Sansa and Domeric chatted to each other all throughout the feast, Sansa was happy that her new husband was kind, she had been really worried about this after what she had experienced in the south and she knew of the Bolton's dark reputation but Domeric was kind enough and Domeric had informed him that he would be getting a half sibling soon as his new stepmother was pregnant. Lady Walda Bolton may have been fat but she still had beauty in some way and she greeted Sansa like her new daughter so Sansa was happy.

Catelyn had tears in her eyes at seeing just how well her daughter was getting along with her new husband, when she married Eddard, they had never even met each other and had married out of duty and it had taken a while for them to love each other. Sansa and Domeric had married for duty but there was a good amount of love in this marriage.

Robb looked at his mother "I'm happy for our sister." He said "Sansa had gained a good husband, Domeric was a good leader during the war and I have this feeling that Domeric will be important in the future."

Catelyn smiled "Sansa told me after she came home that she was scared of marriage because of what Joffrey did to her but now look at her, she is happy."

"Not every marriage is like that." Robb's wife Jeyne stated "When I was younger, my family was in a bad situation and I was worried I would be married off to some fat old lord so we would regain some of my power. My father and brother loved me but my mother only saw me as a tool to gain more power, my mother was just a rich merchant and not even a proper noble. Father once thought about marrying me to Martyn or Wilhelm Lannister but because of my mother, I was seen as unsuitable. This was one of the reasons that I converted to the Nine Divines."

The Priestess, Dancia Pure Springs was sitting nearby and Robb looked at her "Have you performed weddings before?" he asked

Dancia shook her head "I was asked to perform this wedding because I was the closest to a priest for the Old Gods as Kynareth is the Goddess of nature which is close to the Old Gods of the North. Kynareth is still widely worshipped in the North. Normally weddings in the faith of the Nine Divines are done by a Priestess of Mara but I was closer to what the North wanted. Normally I tend the Gildergreen Tree, a sacred tree in the North that is even older than the Heart Trees of the Godswoods. The Gildergreen is sacred to both the Old Gods and the Divines.

"So who's tending to the tree while you're here?" Jeyne asked

"I have my Acolyte Jenssen and young initiates Lucia and Sofie tending the tree." Dancia stated "Both children learning to take my place after I pass away. I am happy that she is feeling happiness."

"Why, what happened?" Jeyne asked

Dancia sighed "Poor Lucia lived on one of the farms in the North. But then her parents died and her aunt and uncle took over the farm and kicked her out. Sofie's mother died when she was a baby and her father was one of those who died in the recent war."

"That's horrible!" Jeyne gasped

Dancia nodded "I think Lucia's family got punishment for their actions as they too died from the sickness but Lucia was still only a child. I found her and Sofie while giving blessings out and they were living on the streets cold, hungry and alone. I took them in and they has since learnt how to tend the Gildergreen and will take over one day. Jenssan is more of a healer than someone who tends to the tree."

"Well I'm happy to see that this poor girl has some happiness." Jeyne stated "I would never let something bad happy to my children." She rubbed her pregnant belly.

As the feast went on, Domeric suddenly slammed his hand on the table to gain everyone's attention "My lords, my ladies, we are all gathered here in Winterfell to celebrate my marriage to the beautiful lady Sansa." Sansa smiled at her new husband "Now we all know what comes next and I was worried that my bride didn't want to do this as I knew what she has been though. But after a talk with her she has said that she was fine with it. It is time for the bedding."

"To bed with them." Greatjon Umber shouted and as Domeric and Sansa walked down the hall, they were both picked up and carried up.

Jeyne looked at this "I am glad we didn't have to go through that." She stated "I don't like the idea of other people touching me."

"Well it is tradition." Robb stated "If the bride and groom are not bedded, how do we know they have consummated their marriage."

"Well there are other ways of ensuring that." Jeyne stated as she moved Robb's hand to rube her belly and then they kissed each other.

Roose walked over to Catelyn who sighed "I feel sorry for my daughter." Catelyn stated

"Well every bride suffers the same." Roose stated "I'm sure you endured yours with grace."

Catelyn looked at Lord Roose "Oh Ned Stark forbade it." She replied "He said it wouldn't be right if he broke a man's jaw on our wedding night." Roose chucked in response and went to speak with Lady Barbary Dustin and the feast carried on throughout the night until the other lords started to head to their own beds.

Essos: Jade Sea:

Daenerys stood on the side of the ship that was transporting her and smiled as she watched her three dragons flying around. Drogon dived into the sea before emerging with a large fish in his mouth which he threw into the air and quickly cooked and ate. Then Drogon landed on the deck and Daenerys began stroking his head.

Jorah and Farengar approached her "They grow up fast." Jorah stated as now the dragons were nearly the side of fully grown wolves.

Farengar nodded "Watching a dragon grow up from a baby is a dream for me. I've always wanted to watch a dragon grow up and see how they behave. But the more then grow the more of their dragon instinct kicks in."

Farengar was right as she had seen her dragons fight each other. "Do you really think this King Martin will allow me to return home to Westeros?" she asked

Farengar sighed "Despite what your brother has told you, there are not calls for the return of the Targaryens. Most of the people don't really care who sits on the Iron Throne as long as they can carry on with their normal lives. Joffrey was cruel and that's why many supported Martin. You're a foreigner to the people and they probably won't trust you. They'll just see you as a conquer with a foreign army." He pointed to the remaining Dothraki who were feeling sick. Rakharo was throwing up over the side. Dothraki weren't used to the sea and it showed.

Daenerys walked over to High King Emeric who was standing on deck "What will happen when we reach Westeros?" she asked

"Well we have to make sure that we don't catch them by surprise." Emeric stated "I hope to build bridges and so your friend Farengar sent a message to this King Martin. As for you, you'll have to speak to Martin yourself but speak with respect. And if these Mythic Dawn cultists are enemies of him then I can consider Westeros an ally. Add in the fact that King Martin is rumoured to be Dragonborn then that gives him more of my respect. In our land, the Dragonborn is a being blessed by the Nine Divines and that makes him someone worth following."

"So what will you do when we arrive?" Daenerys asked

"I will personally meet with King Martin and we'll hopefully be able to speak as the Kings of two different nations and try and build an alliance. Westeros and the Daggerfall Convenient are very similar which makes it much easier to build friendships than with the Free Cities of Essos."

Daenerys looked at her dragons "If these rumours of King Martin having dragons are true then maybe it will calm my dragons. They are male and aggressive, mates might help calm then."

"They should." Emeric stated "And maybe he'll grant you your old family seat although you may have to earn his trust at first. He won't just grant you anything for free."

Daenerys silently agreed and wondered what would happen when she returned to Westeros, a place where she had been born but left before she was even a day old. After moving from place to place for many years, she might finally be able to return to the place of her birth.

Essos: Astapor:

Rhaenys Targaryen sat in her cabin along with Rolly Duckfield and Franklyn Flowers. All of them were thinking about what would happen soon "You guys remember the plan?" Rhaenys asked.

Rolly nodded "Once you have control of the Unsullied, you will order them to attack the Slavers here. Balaq will give assistance from the rooftops, he's been moving his men into position while we provide protection for you." He stated

"And while everyone is distracted, Travis and his men will seize control of the harbour." Frankyn stated "His men will wait for Balaq's signal and will strike."

Rhaenys nodded "I want to do my part for our family." She stated "I am the oldest but I was never a good fighter like Visenya. But Connington always said that I was skilled in politics. Aegon was always drawn more towards Visenya since she has more Targaryen looks but he stilled cared about me. I want to do my duty for him. I will gain him another army for his conquest of Slaver's Bay. I know my old ancestors practised this but this is barbaric and hopefully we can take the next step in ending this practice. It won't be easy but we can do it if we're smart."

Rolly and Franklyn nodded in approval and Rhaenys decided that she needed to rest, they had a big day coming up.

Blackreach: Essos:

Viserys sneered as he killed the last of the Falmer vermin in the building he was in. He had arrived at this underground city which is where the lexicon was being stored. He had arrived at this city and had been able to see the dragon for real. The people here were worshipping it like a God and this Dragon was better than what Viserys had expected, the dragon was massive and was probably bigger than Balerion the Black Dread, the dragon of Aegon the Conquer. Viserys would kill all in his path to have this dragon but the dragon was enraged and needed to be tamed. Once he got the Elder Scroll from the Tower, he would use its powers to claim the dragon. He had cleared out the building after using his new magic powers to get past the crowd. Now he just needed to find the lexicon and he began searching through the crates in the room but was having no such luck."

"Where is it?" he growled and then he smashed one of the crates in rage "I am the blood of a dragon. The power of the Elder Scroll will be mine!"

Eventually, he found a large chest in the back of the room and when he finally lockpicked the lock to open the chest, he found what he was looking for, the lexicon. The lexicon was a small cube about the size of Viserys' hand. It had circle patterns on each side and it seemed there was something inside. Viserys smirked at his find "Just you wait usurper's spawn. Soon the power of the Elder Scroll and the Dragons will be mine and you will die by my hand if you haven't already died at the hands of my followers."

Red Keep: King's Landing:

King Martin sat at a table in the meeting room alongside Oberyn Martell, Tyrion, Delphine and Blade members Renault, Glenroy and Baurus.

"You seem a bit worried your Grace." Tyrion stated "Is everything alright?"

"I'm fine uncle." Martin stated with a sigh "I knew being a good king would be hard work but it seems I've got a number of threats to deal with. When my father was King the only major issue of his rule was the Greyjoy Rebellion and that wasn't even a major threat to him. I've got to deal with these Sparrows, the Mythic Dawn and this Worm Cult. That's three major groups that I have to deal with and I've only been ruling a year."

"At least you know how to rule." Delphine stated "I know Robert was your father but I would like to be truthful, he was not the best king."

"I don't mind you being honest but you are right. My father wasn't a good king but he was still my father." Martin stated and he looked at Oberyn "I know how you feel about my father and I understand, not giving Elia justice was wrong of him. I always saw his desire to kill the Targaryens were just about his petty vengeance and not justice. Elia did nothing wrong."

"And I appreciate you giving us justice with Amory Lorch." Oberyn stated "Even though we now know that Elia's children still live, that pig was a murderer who needed to be dealt with."

"I am hoping that they don't try to invade." Martin stated "If they return here to Westeros and try to claim the throne, it will divide my kingdom. I really don't want that to happen."

"Well I do have a message for you about that." Delphine stated and handed Martin a raven scrolls, "Farengar sent that to Caius."

Martin remembered Farengar as being the Dragon Expert who was now the agent investigating Daenerys Targaryen. From what he heard, Daenerys was only interested in having a place to call home and didn't care about conquering Westeros. Martin read the scroll and was shocked. After reading it, he looked at Delphine "Who is this High King Emeric?" he asked

The others in the room listened in to Delphine "From what Farengar said through his messages, this High King Emeric rules over a land in far east Essos with politics similar to the Seven Kingdoms." Delphine stated "Different regions are ruled by one king but they swear fealty to this High King Emeric. Apparently, word travels around fast about you and Emeric seeks to make an alliance. He wants to bring his lands more into the world after being isolated for thousands of years. He knows about your dragons as well. Daenerys' Dragons have been said to be aggressive but he thinks if they meet with yours, they may calm down."

"Maybe." Martin stated "And I think I have an idea on what you're suggesting but I will talk to Daenerys about it when she arrives. And I will have to deal with the Mythic Dawn first."

Delphine nodded but looked worried "And speaking of the Mythic Dawn, Spymaster Caius is worried, he hasn't heard much about what the Mythic Dawn have been doing except with these Sparrows. Farengar said that the Mythic Dawn were causing issues for High King Emeric but have been dealt with but they've been nearly quite. I don't like it, I fear that when the Mythic Dawn makes their move, they will strike hard and strike fast."

"I agree." Martin stated "I want all of the Legions to be on standby. When the Mythic Dawn makes their move, we will be ready."

Just then, there was a loud bang on the other side of the door which made the Blades place their hands on their swords and Oberyn was cautious. "Stay here your grace." Blade Glenroy stated "I'll check it out."

Glenroy walked over to the door and opened it but there was no one there. He looked around and saw the corridors were empty. It was quite, too quite. Something was very wrong here but what? Then in just a second, everything changed and Glenroy was struck by some kind of explosive magic spell and thrown across the room.

Renault, Baurus and Delphine stood up and got in front of Martin. King Martin did not have his swords or his armour on as he was in the palace and only wore his armour and weapons when he was in the throne room performing duties for the King or out in the city. Oberyn and Obara had their spears on them and drew them while Nymeria got her whip out.

Runa Cameron smirked as she entered the room as the explosion died down alongside Jearl and Hands Black Nail. They had used their Mythic Dawn magic to summon Daedric weapons and armour as well as a couple of Dremora Lords and they were ready for a fight. "This is the end for your King Martin." She sneered "Kill them all. For Lord Dagon!" the fight began and both sides charged at each other. They were in a meeting room so movement was limited but Martin allies worked as a team. Oberyn was a skilled warrior and he twirled his spear and managed to impale a Dremora Lord while Nymeria distracted another and allowed Obara to impale it.

Hans Black Nail engaged in a duel with Renault. Renault parried Hans attacks and sneered "You're good." He stated "But it won't save you or the Prince."

Renault recognised the voice "Hans Black nail!" she snarled "So you're the one who let them in, you're a sleeper agent aren't you?"

Hans sneered "The Mythic Dawn has plenty of agents around Westeros. When the time comes, they will rise up in the name of Lord Dagon."

"You won't get away with this!" Renault snarled "The Mythic Dawn failed once and they will fail again."

Hans laughed and pushed Renault back and she hit the wall. Before she could recover, Hans stabbed Renault in the chest "Looks like I win this fight." He laughed and twisted the blade which made Renault groan even more. But Hans was so busy enjoying himself that he did not see Blade Baurus who had fought off another Dremora Lord charge at him. With a swing of his sword, Baurus sliced Hans Black Nail's head from his shoulders and his body fell to the floor.

Mythic Dawn agent Jearl watched as Hans was killed. The King was out of reach as Grandmaster Delphine was holding off the attacks. But Martin had seen Captain Renault fall. Renault smiled at the prince and she kicked her katana over to him and Martin quickly picked up Renault's blade and joined the fight. Glenroy had also recovered and rejoined the fight.

Runa watched, this wasn't going as well as she hoped. The Blades were well trained and Oberyn Martell and his daughters were skilled as well and they were able to fight the Dremora and Hans was dead. Jearl engaged in a duel with Glenroy. Jearl hoped that she could take on Glenroy who has been injured at the start of the fight but Glenroy was strong. With a skilled swipe, Glenroy sliced at Jearl when she overshot one of her strikes, cutting deep into her chest. Jearl gasped and collapsed. Now it was just Runa left.

But Runa was the strongest of them all. She was the only mage in the room and whenever one Daedra was defeated, she summoned another one. Her years of training meant that summoning Dremora Lords was child's play to her. But even she was worried, she had watched her two allies Hans and Jearl get killed and now it was just her. But she was not going down without a fight and she swung her staff around like it was a sword and it glowed red with magic so now it would harm people like a sword if it hit someone. She then charged at Martin. Martin was skilled but without any armour, it was difficult to fight properly and everyone else was stuck fighting very powerful Dremora lords that Runa had summoned. As a result, Runa could focus on Martin. "I'll going to kill you boy!" she hissed "And soon Lord Dagon will walk among us and he will be our God King."

Martin glared "How was it you were able to survive all these years?" he demanded "You along with your father and brother were killed in the Oblivion Crisis thousands of years ago and even if you survived, you would be thousands of years old."

Runa laughed "Daedric Magic is powerful. My father separated a piece of himself as well as me and my brother and Lord Dagon looked after it. That piece kept our spirits alive at Lord Dagon's side until we were able to restore our bodies. It was helped that a piece of the Mythic Dawn's sacred text, the Mysterium Xarxes was left which enabled us to regain our power. Once Viserys returns with the Elder Scroll, we will finally be able to reopen the doors of Oblivion!"

Martin glared "We will stop you."

Runa laughed "No one will stop us once you're dead." She swung her staff hard and disarmed Martin after striking his hand with her staff and Runa laughed "This is the end for you!" she prepared to strike and brought the staff down but it didn't hit Martin. Instead the staff impaled Blade Glenroy in the chest. Glenroy had managed to charge in front of the King and take the hit meant for him.

"Glenroy!" Martin yelled and Glenroy smiled at him before Runa pulled the staff out and Glenroy fell to the floor. Martin glared at Runa who smirked and prepared for another attack. But Martin was now able to use his powers, he was worried about hurting his Blades or the Martells by doing this but now Runa was right in front. With a deep breath, he yelled "FUS RO DAH" The unrelenting Force Shout came from Martin's mouth and threw Runa across the room and against the wall. Before Runa had a chance to recover, Martin picked up Glenroy's sword and charged at her using both Renault and Glenroy's swords in his hands and impaled Runa through the chest.

Runa screamed in agony as Martin stabbed her with the blades "No, this can't be" she groaned "I had the power, I had the will. It was a perfect plan."

"And it failed in the end." Martin hissed "Just like the Mythic Dawn did in the end. Your plots have failed. You have failed and now you will pay the price!" He pulled one of the blades out of Runa chest and then swung around and beheaded her. With Runa's death, the bond between the mortal and the Daedric realm was severed and the Dremora lords that remained hissed and then faded as they collapsed.

Martin looked around, the room was a mess, the furniture had been smashed and there were dead bodies in the room. The Dremora lords faded when they were killed but the dead bodies of the Mythic Dawn assassins were in the room and the bodies of the Blades Renault and Glenroy. Both of them had fallen doing their duty to protect the King. Delphine was shocked, this was the first time since they had sworn themselves to Martin that a Blade Knight had died doing their duty to protect the King.

"Brother?" a voice called and Martin looked up from the fallen body of Glenroy who was the real hero, if Glenroy hadn't sacrificed himself, Martin may have been killed. Martin looked to see the Blades, Baragon, Jena and Ferrum had returned along with Alessia and Loras. They all looked in shock at the dead Blades but one thing was clear, the Mythic Dawn were making preparations and it was clear that they would strike soon.

Chapter End:

Author's Note: Well finally, after a long time I finally have this chapter finished. Here major events have taken place and we have the death of a major villain who I would say is the main villain for the first half of my story's season 3. I have maybe two more chapters left for the first half of season 3 and then we'll get on to the major event of season 3 as I do plan to have a proper war against the Mythic Dawn and I have been planning a few events that will happen which will allow some characters who have been minor in the first half to have a bigger role such as Stannis Baratheon. I do also plan to give Viserys his own dragon which will make him even more dangerous as the dragon is the hidden boss in Blackreach. I will just say that I didn't plan on killing Runa yet, I was going to keep her alive but in the end, I decided that I would kill her off now as she didn't have any further use as her Sparrows had failed. I will just address the review on the person who asked why Alessia was captured. Runa had Alessia captured as a way of distracting Martin but there she was never going to remain prisoner for long. The Sparrows aren't that powerful in this story. I will be working on a chapter of Dragon X next.
