Rise of the Dragon Hidden in Snow

Chapter 8: Revenge for the Red Wedding



Kinglanding

Aegons declaration had reached kingslanding a week ago. Tywin could not believe the words from the Raven he Received. The Capital sent out Ravens declaring Aegon a pretender for it was known that the children of Elia died In Kinglanding. He's appearance meant nothing without a dragon. Aegon even his sister could not prove to the entire realm that they were in fact the children of Rhaegar and Elia who supposedly died in Kinglanding.

They were gathered in the small council when a raven from the Citadel arrived. A raven written by an Arch Maester and signed by six other maesters made the contents written credible without doubt.

'I have received a receive a raven from the citadel sent to all the lords of Westeros' Tywin began

'The Maester announced that Rhaegar Targaryen annulled his marriage to Elia Martel and Rhaegar Wed Lyanna Stark' he finished the were murmurs disbelief was written on their faces.

'Lies, they must be lying' Cersie said furiously

'The Arch Maester himself wrote this letter and 6 other maesters signed it, this alone makes the words written credible' Olenna spoke up

'The Maesters say they have the Documents proving these words, lies or not this means Rhaegar set Elia and their children aside, meaning the claim of this Aegon has been weakened by these ravens alone' Tywin finished

'Where are these documents' Olenna asked 'the Citadel says Samual Tarly is bringing them to the Capital' Tywin spoke

Ohh how wrong the Citadel was because Sam was taking the documents to Jon.

'Randels's son? Olena asked

'Yes lady Tyrel' said Tywin

The spider couldn't believe it, an annulment was serious damage to the Aegons claim. Aegon needed to claim one of Danaerys's dragons. The boy was the best hope for the realm the spider thought, he was born and groomed to be king.

'The Donish must be supporting this Aegon' Olenna said

'What do your birds report on Dorne Varis? Tywin asked

'Dorne called their banners they are marching as we speak' Varis responded he knew lying to Tywin about a large army would be a mistake. So, he told the truth.

'They are marching without Sending word they are definitely marching for this Aegon' Said furiously. They were surrounded by enemies and unsure on weather to trust the Tyrells

'They have my daughter' Cersie spoke up

'I doubt they'll harm her' Olenna said

'You don't know that'

'I have more news to report Varis intervened'

'Out with-it spider' Kevin finally spoke

The room was silent they were all visibly worried

'Where is Snow now' Tywin asked

'My Last bird reported that Northman were passing Moat Cailin, the passing at the neck is slow but its safe to say the Frey's are in trouble' Varis said

'The Frey's are Done for' Olenna blurted out

'I have more bad news' the Spider said

'You must be joking lord Varis' Kevin said

'I am afraid not'

'What is it Varis out with it' Tywin said

'Daenerys Targaryen has left Slavers bay with an Army said to be around 60/70 000 strong, I'm not certain on the numbers. Apparently, she has over 50 000 Dorthraki fighting for her add that to the unsullied and the sell sword companies she has in her services, she has a great army and 3 Dragons'

The room was silent, Olenna was really rethinking her allegiances now

'It will be Moons before they land in Westeros' Cersie said

'What is the plan Tywin' Olenna asked Serious expression on her face

'The Lannister Forces together with the Crownland forces will march North and deal with this Northern Army'

'The Tyrel Army will march for the Stormlands and deal with this pretender and the Dornish, send your son a raven now, we will deal with Daenerys when she gets here moons from now' Tywin finished they all nodded in agreement'

THE TWINS

The Frey scouts spotted the Northen army in the Distance they were now hours away from the Twins. A report was filed in the castle but what made Walder pale was the report of giant man marching and big elephants/ mammoths seen in the Distance. Hours passed and he could now see the large army as it camped on the North side of the Twins. The site of giants alone drove fear into every Frey at the Twins. They were fucked. The Lannister's would not come to their Aid.

No Parley was called the Northern army of would assault the castle at daybreak a plan was put in place. Morning came and the army was ready to hit the Castle

'Archers in place' Jon Said as 1000 archers stood in line. Tormund said the same thing to the giant archers 30 giant archers, with giant arrows stood In line facing the Twins

The site made the Frey men on the battlements pale

'We are doomed' Lothal Frey said

'So, the North does truly remember' Black Walder spoke in fear

'What do we do' Rhaegar Frey asked. no one answered they were transfixed on the giants loading arrows

'Fire' they heard, and the giants released a torrent of arrows at the gate and the battlements. The Frey Archers at the battlements ran away and some were nailed to the wall by giant arrows. The walls also broke when struck by the giant arrows and men were killed by the little arrows shot by the normal men. Wun wun along with another giant approached the gate which was a little damaged by giant arrows. Chains were tied to the gate and a line of mammoths tied to the chain made light work of the gate

The gate fell and Northman flooded the Castle, Jon being first pass the gate. The Frey's were Vastly outnumbered and afraid. Apart from a few who fought to the death many surrendered to the Northmen. The Frey's were rounded up in the courtyard and made the wait for the kings Judge. The blood of Freys was all over the Northerner. They wanted revenge thus mercy did not even cross their minds, they were ready to kill everyone named Frey regardless of gender.

Edmure plead with Jon to not let any harm come to his wife Roselin. None of the lords were happy about a Frey walking away without punishment but Jon gave Edmure his wife and child. Edmure bent the knee and swore the Riverlands to the new king in the North as he did to the last.

Stannis had been watching the carnage from the sidelines. Snow had excluded him from the attack. Now he was in the courtyard to witness what was going to happen. Many of the Frey's were executed by Jons own hands,

Walder Freys was made to watch as all of his sons were executed. Walder was the last to go after watching his sons die. Some were sent to the Castle Black to the displeasure of Some Northmen they wanted every Frey dead. The castle was cleared of every Frey, either killed, sent to Watch or just kicked out of the Twins by time they were finished no one with Frey blood remained in the castle. It was decreed by the King that no Frey or any of the line of Frey would sit this Castle ever again. it was now property of the King in the North.

The lords were meeting in Walders great hall when the King spoke

'My Lords, I have received raven from one who coins himself Aegon Targaryen son of Rhaegar Targaryen and Elia Martel' mummer's followed disbelief on all their faces

'Impossible Elia Martel's children are dead' Umber spoke up

'It must be a trick by the Lannister' SmallJon joined in

'What does the letter say your grace'

'That I am summoned to StormsEnd to bend the Knee' the laughter that followed was so loud it eliminated all other Sounds

'Ow I find it funny as well'

'You are our only king your grace' Aly Mormont spoke

'StomsEnd? Stannis finally asked in disbelief his castle was taken

'Yes, the castle has been taken if this massage is to be believed'

'I've also received a raven from the Arch Maester of Citadel signed by six other maesters an announcement to the realm' he said passing the raven to Stannis

'What' Stannis said in disbelief after reading to himself

'What does it say the lords asked'

He detailed what the letter said regarding Rheagars marriage to Lyanna. The Northern lords did not want to believe it but a document written by the Arch Measter of the Citadel but the fact that it came from that Citadel made it real even without the document as proof.

'So, Rhaegar tossed Elia and their children aside for Lyanna' Maege said

'Are we to believe that the Rebellion was based on a lie' One lord said

'Perhaps she was forced into the marriage after being Kidnapped' Davos finally spoke

'we have know way of knowing the truth' Greatjon said

'Do they even have claim now' SmallJon asked

'Seems the claim of this Aegon has been damaged by this letter alone' Davos said

'It doesn't matter we will walk our own path we'll deal with this Aegon pretender or not after the Lannisters' Jon Said, the lords nodded in agreement.

Jon had decided it was not time to reveal the truth just yet. he would continue as the dragon hidden in snow a while longer until the time was right.
