"Ser Barristan?" Jon called again with a raised eyebrow as the most famous knight in Westeros looked at him with a dazed look in his eyes.
"Did you say you were waiting for me?" Barrisatan cleared his throat as he asked with a frown on his face, looking uncomfortable for some reason, "How did...
"If I were to perish out there tomorrow... Will you do me a favour, Ser Barristan?"
The man who asked this question had his back turned to him, his eyes staring down at the large army camp bustling with pre-battle nerves under the light of the setting sun.
And other than him, there were also...
"Brother Willas? What are you doing here?" Margaery asked with a surprised expression on her face as she opened the door to their carriage, only to find her Eldest brother sitting there smiling at her as if he had been waiting for her.
"I was sitting there bored in our Mansion when I heard...
"WHERE?!" "Where is it?" "Where are the million dragons?"
The men and women who had so far been standing obediently in the crowd, and quietly enjoying this rare entertainment, were now shouting and jumping over each other as they tried to look over the shoulders of the guards who were...
"Grandmother!" Margaery loudly called out as she hurried along with her guards towards the approaching Tyrell party, "The King is here too," she revealed as soon as she came close, while pointing behind her, with both the guards merging and creating a large circle around the two Tyrell women to...
"I am sorry. I think I need to deal with this," Jon said apologetically to Margery, while jerking his head towards the gates.
"I-Yes, of course," The girl replied immediately with a nod, her eyes darting towards the approaching party of the king with a somewhat nervous expression on her face...
"Gods be good! Has the whole of King's Landing woken up before dawn today?" Robert groaned out loud as their small procession crawled through the crowd of smallfolks that were as thick as ants on the road to the city gate, leading out to the Harbour.
"A-Apologies, your grace! They were not so...
"Well, well... This is quite the royal welcome they have prepared for me here," Jon murmured with an amused smile as he gazed out at the distant port of King's Landing.
"Royal? Where?" The Advisor asked while squinting his eyes at the busy harbour where the men looked no bigger than ants...
The sea was as calm as a slow-moving creek coming down a Mountain that day.
A fairly large galleon was slumbering along with the flow of the wind and water, sailing so smoothly that one couldn't even feel the usual shudders. Even a person with chronic seasickness could have calmly walked on...
"What in the seven hells is that man playing at?" Olenna murmured with a frown as she incomprehensively stared at Doran, who stood there calmly, looking very much unaffected by the chaos he had caused by his straightforward denial of the course of events, "Do you know where he is going with this...
The Throne Room, Red Keep.
The great hall, where the King and his small council usually held their formal hearings and listened to petitioners, was filled with an unusual amount of chatter that day.
Not since the time of the dragons has this chamber ever been this full of life and people, at...
A few days before the letter reached the hands of the Lannister Lord.
On this day, inside the city of Sunspear, the seat of House Martell, a very large crowd had gathered near the docks.
And while it wasn't unusual for a location like the port to be busy with sailors and Merchants hailing...
Deep inside the bowels of the Red Keep in King's Landing, there lay a chamber decorated with all kinds of dead dragon skulls from the Targaryen era mounted on iron spikes along the walls.
Below the largest skull that belonged to Balerion the Black dread, two shadowy figures were standing close...
Unlike the Tyrells and the Lannisters, who had chosen the land route and had taken off early enough that they would arrive almost a week before the Tourney, the Stark company, consisting of Robb, Ser Rodrik, and Lord Manderly, opted to take the sea route out of the White Harbour.
And since the...
It was a warm summer afternoon.
The kind with a lot of white fluffy clouds floating in the sky, moving unhurriedly in a single direction.
The sun hanging straight above in the sky was also just warm enough not to be scorching, making it the perfect day for an outing with the family.
Down...
The words in this work have crossed almost 3,50,000, and the chapters are reaching 100.
Now three years later, it is finally time for this first part to end, as the journey returns to King's Landing, where the enemies are more cunning and sinister.
The first chapter of the next part, called...
AI has been used in this, and while I did try to edit it as much as I could, there are just too many chapters and words for me to do it cleanly, so forgive me if it doesn't feel too smooth to read and if there are points in between when the infamous Hallucinations happen.
Chapter 1: Rebirth at...
"Why the hell are they not here yet?" Sarella complained with a pout on her face as she leaned against the handrail of the ship and searched the forest a few leagues away with her eyes, but found nothing.
At this moment, the girl and her father were standing on the deck of a mighty galleon...
"Is this it?" Nymeria asked in a muffled voice as, after much difficulty, she finally burst out of a thicket of green bushes, which was so dense that it was almost impossible to breathe, and came out into an empty area about the size of a small home.
"Yes, this is the place I told you about,"...
"Now, how are we supposed to deal with all this?" Nymeria asked as she massaged her aching back with a troubled look on her face as pointed towards the mess of dead bodies thrown half-hazardly into a pile, as well as the two prisoners who were snoozing peacefully without a care in the world, as...
