The Baratheons had barely left the shore of the island of Dragonstone when the first little crack appeared.

Nobody saw it though, it was a stone gargoyle where that happened and nobody looked closer at the stone Gargoyles.

Around that time in which the Baratheons of Dragonstone arrived in King's Landing and then were received by the King, there were cracks in all stone Gargoyles and in a lot of the Dragon decor in and on the Castle of Dragonstone.

Still, nobody noticed it because nobody looked closer.

When many hundred miles away the little Lady Shireen watched a servant woman dying because of a poison that was meant for Lady Shireen herself though, that was the time that the differences in Dragonstone became noticeable.

It was the fault of the dragon claws that normaly held the torches but now all the torches were thrown unto the floor and the claws had sharpened and longer talons on them. The claws actually tried to grab people walking by.

It was a horrendous situation, these torchholders were everywhere in the Keep of dragonstone and people were afraid of going anywhere inside the Keep.

All the people currently residing in Dragonstone did flee, even Maester Cressen.

And more and more of the Stone became alive.

Meanwhile, in the Red Keep

Barristan PoV

There was something not right with the daughter of Lord Stannis Baratheon.

She was so calm through all that what just had happened and looked resigned and sad but neither shocked nor afraid. Was it because the Gods already changed her life, that she just was not afraid in such a situation of close death?

He had heard what the people of King's Landing had been shouting when the Baratheons of Dragonstone or to make that more clear, when the young Lady Shireen had walked by. That she asked her parents and all that were send by the King to walk from the Harbor to the Red Keep, that this little noble Girl was not afraid to walk through the streets and showed everyone that she was healed, that simple gesture had made all the people shout her name.

That she then took all the flowers that had been thrown at her and kissed them and gave them away with a blessing for each of the simple people that received one, that made the population shout her name louder than Barristan had ever heard before in his life.

And now, this same girl looked calm while a woman died in front of her. Died through the poison that was meant for the little girl herself. Died because this little girl asked Barristan to force the women to drink the poisoned tea.

Ser Barristan felt uncomfortable, poison was something that felt not honest to him. It was a way to murder people without giving them a chance. He looked to the little Lady Shireen and wondered if the Gods sent her such a horrible dream about the poison, that the real situation seemed harmless to her and made her thus behave like she did.

What else did the Gods to her beside to heal her? Whould she be warned of every danger?

Ser Barristan decided to go to the Sept after he would be relieved of his guarding and to light seven candles, just to be sure.

Jon Arryn PoV

Robert was bellowing his questions and his brother was barely civil while he read aloud of every ever mentioned marriage between Baratheons and Lannisters from the great book that a quick and sharpminded Courtier brought earlier to the King.

Jon himself would like to finally get some sleep, the last night before all seven hells opened up because of these new revelations, but the Baratheon brothers were barely civil while other people were in the same room with them together, he would hate to know how they would behave if they were alone in the room.

The Lord Hand closed his eyes and rued the day that he told the King to send for his niece.

To keep the marriage of the King and the Queen officially civil had been exhausting enough before the whole Baratheon family from Dragonstone arrived but now, after little Shireen spoke innocently about so many things that no one ever even dared to talk about, now all disguise of the real situation of the Royal marriage was useless.

And now Robert grew more and more agitated with every marriage that they found in the large Book about the noble families of Westeros and Stannis started to grind his teeth more and more in reaction.

Jon Arryn thought to himself how Tywin Lannister would react to all that and felt himself growing cold.
