Redwater:

King's Landing: Red Keep:

People had gathered in the courtyard of the Red Keep to pay their respects. King Martin, his small council, the Blades, his mother and his sister were all outside paying their respects to the fallen Blades. Blade Knight Glenroy and Captain Renault were both placed in coffins and they were loaded onto carts. The bodies would be taken back to Cloud Ruler where they would be laid to rest in the catacombs along with their armour and swords. The Blades currently at King's Landing had already paid their respects and Grandmaster Delphine would be travelling with the bodies so they could be buried at Cloud Ruler. Delphine did not want to leave the King but he had persuaded her to go as it was expected of her as Grandmaster of the Blades. Fortis had taken command of the Blades in King's Landing while she was gone.

"I'll be back after the funeral your Grace." Delphine stated to the King "I have feeling I'll be needed here soon."

"Hopefully by the time you're back, I'll will be finished dealing with the Sparrows." Martin stated

"I'm sure you'll be fine and make sure those Sparrows pay for their crimes." Delphine stated as she boarded the cart and then the cart left the courtyard and prepared for its trip to Cloud Ruler Temple.

Lady Alessia Tyrell looked at her brother who had a sorrowful look on his face "You know this wasn't your fault Martin." She stated

"It was." Martin stated "I was so focused on the Sparrows and the fact that they'd captured you that I did not think on the Mythic Dawn. I knew they were involved in the Sparrows but I never expected that they would have a sleeper agent."

"I'll have my little birds keep an eye on the remaining staff to find any more agents." Varys stated "Although I suspect that they've gone into hiding."

"Even so, now it's time to remove a major threat to the city." Martin stated "I'm ending the Sparrows here and now."

"Good." Cersei spat "They need to be put down before they become an even bigger threat."

Martin sighed, he did not want to be remembered as a butcher bit something had to be done against the Sparrows so he went back inside the Red Keep to change into his armour but before he went in, he glared at some severed heads on the gates of the Red Keep, they were the heads of Runa Cameron and the other assassins, they had tried to kill the King and so their heads were placed on spikes as a warning to others.

Unknown to Martin, there was still another member of the Mythic Dawn in the city but she was no threat to them now. Isolde, the barmaid from the Fo'c's'le. She had gone to see why Runa and the others had not returned from their mission and she was able to blend in with the crowd, when she saw the King she realised that the assassination had failed and when she saw the severed heads, she realised that she had to get out of the city now while she still had the chance, it wouldn't be long before she was found out and executed.

Tower of Mzark: Essos:

The Tower of Mzark was a Dwemer research outpost dedicated to the research of the Elder Scrolls. The Dwemer were well known for their love of forbidden and dangerous knowledge and now this tower held an Elder Scroll which is what Viserys needed to get. Viserys arrived at the tower and saw a massive mechanism in the centre of a large room. The device must have had the Elder scrolls but Viserys was unsure how to get it. Viserys found the skeleton of a man known as Drokt who had a journal and Viserys hoped it would contain information that he needed but all that was in the journal was a rant about this man's obsession with solving the puzzle.

The journal did give Viserys one clue and it involved the cube he found in Blackreach, on a balcony were four buttons which must be pressed in the right order to solve the puzzle but they were covered up but there was a pedestal next to them which looked like it was used to hold the cube so Viserys slotted the cube into the pedestal and sure enough, the device activated and opened the cube and uncovered the first two buttons. The first one did nothing but when the second button was pressed, the rings on the bottom of the device moved and revealed blue circles on the bottom of the floor. When Viserys pressed the first button again, the floor moved back and Viserys understood the first two buttons, they moved the floor back and forward. But the other two buttons were still unknown. But after pressing the second button four times, the third button uncovered and Viserys pressed it.

The third button moved the device on the ceiling with had a number of arm like structures with clue circles. Viserys saw beams of light emitting through the rings onto the floor, now Viserys had an idea on how to solve the puzzle; he needed to align the beams of light with the floor's blue circles. After pressing the third button again, he got the results and the beams lined up with the circles and the four button was now uncovered.

Viserys pressed the final button and the device moved away and a large capsule was lowered to the ground which then opened to reveal the Elder Scroll. Viserys smirked and ran down the stairs after he took the cube as he might need it again, he ran up to the capsule and sure enough, there was the Elder Scroll. The scroll was massive, too big to fit in Viserys' bag and so Viserys had to strap the thing to his bag, Viserys was tempted to open it but Mankar had warned him not to do that as the scrolls could blind people if they weren't prepared. Viserys now had what he wanted but he still had one more thing to do before he left, he wanted that dragon and if he used the Elder Scroll then he could take control of the beast. So Viserys went back towards Blackreach to get himself a dragon.

Castle Volkihar: Beyond the Wall:

Mannimarco, the King of Worms sat at a table alongside Lord Harkon and Ramsay Snow. Harkon drank a goblet of blood and looked at the other two "So what is it you're planning?"

"Our ideas may be different but we are still loyal servants of Molag Bal." Ramsay stated

"Indeed." Harkon replied "If it wasn't for the Lord of Domination then I would be where I am today. Eternal life for me. It's a shame that my wife betrayed me all those years ago and took my daughter with her. If she hadn't taken the two Elder Scrolls with her then I could have fulfilled the prophecy. Our course that is where our ambitions change, if the Champion of Molag Bal has a request then I will listen to it. I would love nothing more than for the mortals to fear my kind again. They have grown ignorant in our centuries of hiding."

"Of course why strike now when that other Cult is weakening the realm for us." Mannimarco stated "The Mythic Dawn will weaken the realm and soon we can strike."

"Part of me wants to fight the Mythic Dawn." Ramsay laughed "The Lord of Destruction vs. the Lord of Domination. That would be quite the spectacle."

"Maybe but not important to us." Manimarco stated "I'm surprised that you agreed to turn our prince friend when he returns."

"If he returns." Harkon corrected "I can see the arrogance in his eyes; he feels like he should have what he wants when he wants. Well, even I wasn't that stupid. Besides even if he does return, my blood can still kill him when I turn him. It has happened before."

"We'll just have to wait and see." Ramsay stated

Redwater Den: The North:

The transportation spell had transported Joffrey to a location not far from the location where he needed to go for his mission. Joffrey hated the idea of doing this, he was a prince and princes should not perform such trivial tasks like this but the reward of the great power was too tempting to ignore so he had agreed.

Redwater Den was a Skooma Den; this was a place where lowlifes would come away from the guards to drink an illegal substance known as Skooma. This liquid was purplish blue and could make people relax and feel like they could do anything. But the stuff was highly addictive and could kill if you take too much. It was also very illegal which was why people this den was hidden away from the main roads.

This Skooma den had something different; the exclusive Redwater Skooma was red and could just as strong as regular Skooma. Joffrey had managed to secure a sample of the Skooma as he heard it would make him more powerful so he went into a small room where he could drink it. He saw a number of other people but he cared little for them. He smirked and took a long drink from the small red bottle. When he finished, he left very lightheaded and his vision blurred before he collapsed.

Not far from Joffrey, two figures with red eyes snorted. "What an idiot!" the man stated "How stupid could this fool be."

"He may be a fool but we need him Stalf." The female vampire stated "He has to fill the chalice. Once he has then we will strike."

"Fine Salonia" Stalf stated "We'll take care of the guards to his cell but after that, we'll wait by the spring."

The two vampires stayed in the shadows while some of the den's staff carried the body of Joffrey away to a cell.

Beyond the Wall:

The Night's Watch group had suffered a major blow in the old ruins. The sudden appearance of the White Walkers and their new Dragur allies had caused the small force to suffer a severe blow. A number of their group including the brotherhood member Pello Greenbeard had fallen in the fight before they were able to blow up the entrance of the ruins with help from Thoros of Myr's magic which gave the survivor's time to escape.

A number of members from the party were injured and they needed a safe place to rest and Lord Commander Mormont knew just the place. Many people were against this idea but they had little choice but to return to Craster's Keep.

Craster was one of the few Wildlings who had not joined Mance Rayder south of the wall and had chosen to remain beyond the wall. Probably best for him as many Wildlings hated Craster and his incest and probably would have killed him for it as Incest was against the Old Gods. The Dawnguard member Agmaer watched as the Night's Watchmen arrived and watched as Craster's daughter wives fled. As they approached the entrance, Craster himself arrived with a smirk on his face.

"Well what have we here." He said to himself "Frozen Crows, you've come a long way. Smaller flock that what you had before."

"We can talk inside." Mormont stated

"Oh, can we?" Craster questioned, he had no love for anyone here and he looked at the people one by one before they were allowed inside. Mormont was able to convince Craster to allow them to stay for a while until the wounded were strong enough.

Later inside Craster's Keep, Lord Commander Mormont spoke with the Brotherhood leader, Beric Dondarrion who was with Anguy, the Hound and Thoros.

"You and your men are not sworn members so you don't have to take my orders." Mormont stated

"Probably for the best." Beric stated "We are not Crows so I doubt this Craster will welcome us. I don't like this place one bit, my followers are well enough to travel. I shall depart after my men have rested."

"That is fine by me." Craster stated "The less of you the better." He then noticed some of the men eying his daughters "Keep your eyes where they belong, they're not for you!" He growled, Agmear hated the way Craster treated his daughters like property "You should be kissing me feet for letting you in. I would have turned you all away if I wasn't a godly man."

"You!" Clegane snorted "A godly man?"

"I am Scarface!" Craster growled "I have no fear of what's out there. When the white cold comes, your Dragonglass, steel and fire won't stop them. The only ones left will be the ones who are right by the gods. The real gods!" Clegane snorted and stormed away and was followed by several other brotherhood members like Lem Lemoncloak and Thoros, they all hated Craster, Agmear would have joined them but he decided to stay. They all turned when they heard a woman screech in pain and Craster turned to one of his older daughter wives "Go tell her she can bite down on a rag or bite down on my fist." The woman nodded and left "Woman, always scream in pain when they give birth, when they give birth to a litter of eight, they hardly make a grunt." He pointed to a large pig with eight piglets. Agmear could take anymore of this and stormed off while Craster laughed. Now he really wanted to leave and went to find Beric and ask if he could go with him.

But Agmear followed the screams and went to a small hut and saw several of Craster's daughters helping a younger one give birth. Agmear recognised her as Gilly, one of the younger girls who Agmear had met when they came to Craster's keep on the Great Ranging. She was trying to give birth and after a few tries, she finally gave birth to her baby who was screaming. At first she was crying tears of joy as she held her baby but when she saw that the baby was a boy, she cried in fear.

Agmear did not know what happened to Craster's sons but he wanted to help Gilly. So he decided to remain and not join the Brotherhood when they left Craster's Keep later that day. Agmear only hoped that his friend Jon was having a better time than he was.

Fahlbtharz: Solstheim:

Jon Snow and his companions arrived at the ruins of Fahlbtharz, an old Dwarven ruin where the Skaal had said one of their people had gone missing. In order to learn the secrets of Stalhrim, they had to rescue the Skaal member Eydis or find evidence of her fate. Frea had given them some information about these ruins how they were once occupied by an Ancient race known as the Dwemer who had vanished hundreds of years ago. Now all that occupied these ruins were the special creatures made by the Dwemer and Rieklings which they had been warned about at Raven Rock.

The Rieklings had camp at the entrance to the ruins and were small little green creatures that wielded spears and either threw them or used them to swords. They weren't that though to Jon's group as they were well trained but they could overrun someone if they were alone.

After travelling through the corridors of the ruins, they soon came to a locked door which they were unable to open.

"How do we get through this door?" Ygritte questioned

"There has to be a switch somewhere." Serena stated "Sometimes only a lever can open these doors."

Jenassa soon found a control board that had ten buttons on "Hey, maybe one of these buttons opens the door." She stated

"One has too." Serena stated "But the others might lead us into a trap."

"Well there's only one way to find out." Tormund stated and pressed the first button. But all that did was close the door they came in so Tormund pressed the button again to reopen the door.

"Is there a clue anywhere?" Jon asked

They looked around some more but couldn't find anything "I guess our only hope is to try our luck." Serena stated and pressed another button but this one opened the door opposite them. The third try was even worse and activated swinging blades near the newly opened door. The fourth try released a spider like machine which Frea had warned them about which was quickly dealt with. Thankfully on the fifth try, they managed to press the right button and open the door to leave the room.

"Well that wasn't easy." Grenn stated

"These ruins were meant to keep out intruders." Serena replied "This might be the first trap, I have no doubt that there will be more puzzles in these ruins. I say we find our missing friend and then get out of here." Jon and the others agreed with her and they carried on through the ruins.

Sunspear Water Gardens: Dorne:

The Water Gardens of Dorne were located on a beach next to the Summer Sea three clicks away from Sunspear. The gardens were created by Prince Maron Martell as a gift for his bride Daenerys Targaryen, sister of King Daeron II and to show the union of the realm as Dorne joined the Seven Kingdoms. The gardens themselves had pink marble stones that paved the gardens and courtyard and were filled with beautiful trees, flowers and fountains which created a romantic setting.

That romantic feeling was how Princess Myrcella was feeling as her betrothed, Trystane Martell place a flower in her hair and smiled "How are you feeling?" he asked

"I feel fine." Myrcella replied, she was no longer the scared little girl, she had started to grow into a beautiful woman just like her mother. She was still scared about being far from home but Trystane had made her feel comfortable and speaking with the other Sand Snakes helped her make friends even though her family weren't loved around here but since Amory Lorch had been killed, people were friendlier towards her now. She also had another guardian with her pet Jaguar Midnight. Midnight had also grown from the small cub into a large Jaguar now and followed Myrcella around more like a guardian than a cat that wanted to be stroked. Midnight had adjusted to the heat much quicker than Myrcella had since Jaguars were known to live in hot climates.

Trystane noticed something with her eyes "What's wrong my love?" he asked

Myrcella sighed "Do you want to marry me because our families arranged it or..." she didn't get to finish as Trystane planted a deep kiss on her lips. Myrcella embraced the kissed for a second before pulling away "We can't."

"Why not?" Trystane questioned

"You know why not." Myrcella replied "Someone will see."

Trystane placed his hand on Myrcella's cheek "You are going to be my wife. And I am going to be your husband." He stated "We are allowed to walk through the gardens together and kiss when we like." Myrcella shyly looked at Trystane before allowing Trystane to kiss her deeply once again.

This time the kiss was broken by the sound of laughter. The two lovebirds broke their kiss and Trystane turned and glared at the person who saw them, his cousin Elia Sand "Young love." She said calmly "I hope one day I find a man like you cousin."

Trystane glared "What is it Elia?"

Elia laughed as though she was insulted "Your father sent me to fetch the two of you." She replied "He wants a word with you both?"

"What about?" Trystane asked

"I don't know." Elia replied "But I suspect it might have something to do with the raven he's received from King's Landing."

...

Prince Doran Martell sat in the throne room alongside Aero Hotah, his daughter Arianne and Maester Caleotte who held a raven's scroll in his hand. Soon Elia Sand along with his son Trystane and Myrcella Baratheon walked into the room.

"You wished to see us father." Trystane stated

"I did son." Doran stated "Do you know why?"

"Elia said she thinks it might have something to do with a raven from King's Landing." Myrcella stated

"It does." Doran stated "Your brother has sent an important message all over the Seven Kingdoms, not just to us here. You were aware of the fanatics in the city?"

Myrcella nodded, she had been informed of the Sparrows and their extreme beliefs. The latest news they had received had been about an attempted uprising which had failed and now the Sparrows had been declared traitors to the realm. "Has something involving the Sparrows happened?" she asked

"The Sparrows had another supporter." Doran stated "They were being supported by this Mythic Dawn cult. And they have just made an assassination attempt against the King."

Myrcella gasped in horror "My brother..."

"Is fine" Doran replied "He survived the attempt and the assassins are dead. But two of his Blades, Glenroy and Renault are dead. Your brother has sent this message all over the Seven Kingdoms as he's warning the Seven Kingdoms to be on alert. He fears the Mythic Dawn are preparing to strike and they may have sleeper agents across the Kingdom."

"Are we calling our Banners father?" Trystane asked

"No, not yet." Doran stated "But I am ordering all of our vassals to mobilize their forces in preparation."

"Who will be leading our forces?" Arianne asked

"You will my daughter." Doran replied "You are the future Princess of Dorne and it is time you show your future vassals. Your brother Quentyn will be with you as he has training."

"Thank you father." Arianne replied "I won't let you down."

Doran looked at his son "There is something else; my brother had decided he will be of more use here so he is returning to Dorne to help in the upcoming fight. As a result, you will take Oberyn's place on the Small council."

"You mean I will get to see my brother again?" Myrcella questioned

Doran nodded "The two of you should start packing your things for the trip. You leave in two days, Oberyn will be returning once the Sparrows have been dealt with."

King's Landing: Great Sept:

Martin rode his horse though the crowd that had gathered outside the Sept behind the Ninth Legion which had surrounded the Sept. Some of his Blades came with him along with Alessia and Loras Tyrell who were hidden for now. Now was the time to deal with the Sparrows once and for all, his troops were ready and all he had to do was give the order.

Martin approached the stairs of the Sept and shouted out "High Sparrow!" he called "It's time for you to answer for your crimes."

The High Sparrow came into view at the top of the stairs along with Lancel Lannister and Septa Unella "King Martin!" he greeted calmly "Are you here to finally repent your sins and come back into the light of the true gods?"

Martin glared at the High Sparrow "Enough of your games old man! I've had it with your actions; you've put this city through trouble that wasn't needed. You've caused many problems for me and now you've committed treason! You may believe that your attempted uprising was holy but it was treason. Fanatics like you have no place in my kingdom and it is time for you to leave."

"Leave?" The High Sparrow questioned "We can't leave, not until our holy crusade has been complete."

"Your crusade ends here and now." Martin stated "Your follows are also guilty of kidnapping."

"Your sister and Loras Tyrell are guilty of crimes against the Seven!" Septa Unella hissed

"You be quite!" Alessia snapped as she came into view along with Loras "You shouldn't even be here, you were exiled from this city years ago after what you did."

"So, the King himself commits sins." The High Septon smirked "You should surrender to the mercy of the Gods."

Martin laughed "It is you who should surrender." He smirked and nodded and the heads of Runa and her Mythic Dawn were raised "Do you know who these are? They're the heads of some of your top supports. And they just made an assassination attempt on my life. An act which is treason!" Martin smiled when the smile on the High Septon's face fell "And do you want to know something else? These people weren't supporters of you; they were part of a Daedric Cult known as the Mythic Dawn. They don't worship the Seven or even the Nine Divines, they worship the Daedric Prince Mehrunes Dagon, a demon God in a way. You have been helping fanatics of a different religion and in doing so; you've committed treason not just against the realm but against the Gods." The High Sparrow just stared in complete shock at this revelation "But enough of this, take the Sparrows into custody, but remember, no blood is to be shed."

The Legion had been armed with blunt swords and clubs which would wound but not kill or shed blood. While the main force started fighting, a small ground went behind the High Sparrows and prevented him from entering the Sept to try and hide and soon, all of the Sparrows were taken into custody."

"What should be done with them your Grace?" Oberyn asked as he held The High Sparrow while Bronn held Lancel Lannister. Septa Mordane was struggling against two Legion soldiers.

Martin looked at the crowd "I am not a butcher. I did not become King so I could kill a large amount of people. But the punishment must fit the crime and treason is the highest crime one can commit. However, I don't want to have to execute a large number of people so instead, I sentence every Sparrow to exile. They shall be branded with the Seven Pointed Star and then put on a ship. Wherever they go, I don't care but from this day forward, the Sparrows are exiled from Westeros. I also can no longer allow something like this to happen again. The Faith has proven to cause trouble for me so the Faith is now stripped of political power. They can still elect a High Septon but he will no longer have political power over the realm again. They will no longer have the right to collect taxes on people, the Septs will relay on donations just like the Nine Divines. From now on, the Faith of the Seven is no longer the official religion; Westeros is free to practice their religion without persecution unless your beliefs are too extreme." He then turned to the High Septon "The only exceptions to the exile are you two." He stated looking at him and Unella "I have to make an example so I sentence both of you to death. Take them away." The soldiers dragged the Sparrows away while Martin watched on. He had dealt with one threat to his rule but there were more threats he would have to face during his rule.

Fahlbtharz: Solstheim:

Jon and his group carried on through the ruins of Fahlbtharz. They had managed to fight a number of the Dwemer contraptions with ease but they had come across a problem. They had come across a large room filled with water and some massive metal gears on the water. These gears were the only way across the room and there was no going back as they had no way of getting back up. That meant their plan of finding Eydis and then leaving was no longer an option, they would have to go through all of the ruins to find a way out. The search for Eydis was over quickly as they found a woman's body wearing the same clothes as the Skaal did.

"I guess this is our missing Skaal." Tormund stated

"It must be." Serena stated

"Any idea on what happened?" Grenn questioned

Jon found a journal on the body and since most of his group couldn't read, he decided to read it. "This journal confirms that this is Eydis." He stated "It seems she along with her new friend Ulyn were planning on finding something known as the Visage of Mzund."

"The Visage of Mzund?" Jenassa questioned "What is that?"

"I have no idea." Jon stated "the journal only describes it as an ancient artefact that would be worth a fortune to a collector. They planned on selling it. But it seems Ulyn left Eydis when she was wounded. Her last writing says that she is sorry to her Skaal friends."

"We'll take that Journal back to the Skaal." Serena stated "But right now we need to work on a way of getting out of here."

"Agreed." The others said and they carried on their journey through the ruins.

Winterfell: The North:

Domeric Bolton smiled as he watched his sleeping wife, Sansa Bolton nee Stark, moan as she woke up "Nice to see you're awake beloved." He said Sansa moaned, she was naked under the covers and tried to hide it which made Domeric laugh "There's no need to be shy, we are husband and wife now."

"So I'm expected to bare your children." Sansa stated

"You are but we can take this slow." Domeric replied "I care for you Sansa, you are my wife and I am expected to look after you. My father may not seem like it but he am my mother did get along well, they loved each other and my father cried when she died."

"Your father scares me." Sansa admitted

"He can be scary but he does care for his family." Domeric stated "He will expect you to bare his grandchildren but you are family to him now. I will not force myself on you when you don't feel like it."

Sansa sighed "I remember being in the south and dreaming of marrying a handsome prince and bearing his children." She admitted "But now those dreams turned out to be fairytales."

"Well I may not be a Prince but I am handsome." Domeric joked which did make Sansa chuckle. "We should get up, we will be returning to the Dreadfort soon."

"I will still be able to see my family won't I?" Sansa asked

Domeric laughed "Sansa, I'm not a cruel man, you will be able to write to your family and you can visit them when you won't." Sansa smiled in response, she had been scared of marriage after what she experience in the south but Domeric was a caring man and he planted one more kiss on Sansa's lips "I have to see my father, we'll be leaving in a few days so feel free to speak with your family. They're going to miss you, but you will make a new family with me. You will soon be an aunt."

Sansa smiled "I'm happy for you." She stated

Domeric smiled back "I always wanted a brother after what I saw during my fostering with House Redfort. I had a half-brother but he turned out to be a madman who tried to kill me. I still worry that he's out there plotting to take me out and take over the Dreadfort."

"My brother won't allow that." Sansa stated "If anything like that happens then he will ensure that you take your rightful place as Lord of the Dreadfort." Domeric and his wife smiled at each other.

Redwater Den:

Joffrey groaned as he woke up. He shook his head as his vision returned. He remembered drinking that Redwater Skooma and then passing out. It seemed he had been thrown in a cell after he passed out but something had happened, he saw the bartender lying in front of the cell dead on the floor along with someone else, his door had been left open but he didn't know why.

Joffrey didn't care, he came here for a mission and he was going to do it and be granted a great power that he could use to retake his kingdom. "Just you wait brother!" he snarled "Soon I will have a power even greater than yours and I shall take back my kingdom." He then began his journey through the underground caverns of Redwater den but he did pick up notes and supplies along the way, they could prove useful to his cause to retake his kingdom.

Red Keep: King's Landing:

King Martin sat in a room alongside his mother and sister "So it is done then." Cersei stated "The Sparrows have been dealt with although I still think you should kill them all."

"That would label me as a butcher." Martin stated "I have a reputation as being a caring King and I won't destroy that reputation by killing a lot of people even if they are fanatics."

"Besides, even though he betrayed us, Lancel is still our cousin and we don't want to be kinslayers." Alessia added

"Although I doubt the Sparrows will survive outside of Westeros." Martin stated "Essos is a big place but the Free Cities don't care about these fanatics. They might anger the wrong people and be slaughtered but I don't really care what happens to them now. The Sparrows are not my problem anymore."

"You have dealt with one problem but you still have a bigger problem to deal with." Cersei stated "This Mythic Dawn has already made an attempt on your life, they will try again."

"That is why I've order the Kingdoms to prepare for war." Martin replied "When the Mythic Dawn strike, we will be ready. Speaking of which, Myrcella will be returning to this city."

"Myrcella, she's coming back!" Cersei gasped

Martin nodded "Oberyn feels like he will be more useful helping the armies in Dorne so Trystane will be taking his place as the Master of Laws."

"And what of Tommen?" Cersei asked

"Lord Tywin is keeping him at Casterly Rock." Martin replied "If the Mythic Dawn strike, Tommen will be with the Westerland Army to learn how to lead armies when he becomes Lord of the Rock."

"Tommen won't be a boy forever mother." Alessia added when she saw her mother's face which was full of fear "Tywin won't have him on the front lines yet, he needs to learn."

"I guess so." Cersei stated "I always loved my children, every one of them."

"You loved Joffrey too much." Martin stated "You never saw his cruelty, if you had listen and taught him then he never would have turned out the way he did and he may still have been King, I didn't care about him being born of incest, he was a tyrant and it wouldn't have been long before the Kingdoms rebelled and our dynasty would have fallen just like the Targaryens."

Cersei sighed and sat down "I'm just glad that someone who harmed my family will pay. I want to watch this High Sparrow pay for what he did."

"Oh he will alongside that Septa." Martin stated "I need to prepare the execution." He walked away to prepare the upcoming execution.

Fahlbtharz: Solstheim:

Jon and his team had arrived in the Fahlbtharz boilery, this was where the steam was produced that powered the contraptions in the ruins as well as all of the traps. They eventually came onto a balcony and a door that would lead them into the next room. But this door was sealed shut and couldn't be opened.

"So what do we do now?" Tormund asked.

"We need to find a way to open this door." Jon replied

"And it seems we have another puzzle to solve." Serena stated looking at the wall where six spinning wheels were located "That's a tonal lock, hit them in the right order and it opens the door."

"What happens if you hit them in the wrong order?" Grenn asked

"Then it actives traps." Serena stated "We need to find some clues to the order."

Jenassa noticed something "Hey look." She said "A body." The group came across a dead body on the ground which was a dark elf and a fallen bow next to him.

"This must be Ulyn" Ygritte stated "The one who convinced Eydis to come here."

"He must have been killed by the traps" Jon stated and found another journal on his body "Maybe this will give us a clue." He read it "It seems to solve this puzzle, all of the lights in the centre have to be lit up." He looked at a large circle of lights that were turned off which was at the centre of the puzzle with three tonal rings on each side. "It seems each tonal lights up a number of rings."

"There are twenty lights." Serena stated "We'll have to know how many lights each ring lights up, if too many light up them then the trap will activate."

"It says that in the journal." Jon added "it seems the far left lights up three and the far right lights up 18."

"That's too many." Serena stated "That will activate the trap."

Jon looked more at the journal "The journal also says that middle left lights up four, the left closest to centre lights up six and the right closest to centre lights up nine. As the middle right, it doesn't say?"

Serena did some calculations in her head "I can't think of anything that can make twenty with the numbers, the middle right must be one of them but how many does it light up."

"I guess we'll have to find out." Jenassa stated and she took out her bow and fired an arrow at the middle right tonal ring which activated. Then one by one, the lights lit up and glowed blue until 13 were lit."

"13." Jon stated "We just need seven more. Three and four make seven, hit the far left and middle left." Ygritte got her bow and fired an arrow at the middle left tonal while Jenassa hit the far left, then the final seven lights lit up and the door opened.

"That's it." Serena stated "Now we have to get out of here. We can't go back the way we came so I guess we'll have to find another way out."

"I just hope we don't have to solve another puzzle like this." Jon stated "These traps could kill us if we fail." The others agreed and they all went through the door.

Stony Shore: The North:

The stony Shore was a region of the North on the western coast. The region was sparsely population and most people lived in small fishing villages. This region was controlled by House Fisher which were a minor House in the North and didn't have that much power despite controlling a large chunk of land. Stony Shore was also a region that was raided by the Ironborn many times throughout the years but not it was being used as a base by Victorian Greyjoy.

Theon and his sister Yara looked at the large fleet gathered off the coast. Victorian's flagship, the Iron Victory was at the front with many smaller ships behind.

"I see you've managed to gather a fleet." Yara said to his uncle

"I was able to secure about half of the Iron Fleet when I fled the islands." Victorian stated "But Euron still has many more and I've heard he's constructing more. Plus he has his new allies helping him. Taking back the Islands won't be easy."

"So how do we do it uncle?" Theon asked

"We gather allies of our own." A voice called as Theon turned to see a black haired Dornish woman approaching him. Theon recognised this woman, it was the woman who helped him return to the mainland after his father revealed his plans to attack the north.

"Captain Kaleen?" Theon questioned

Kaleen smirked "I see you did remember me." She stated "As I was saying, we need to gather allies of our own and I know some old friends who can lend a hand."

"Kaleen is my second in command." Victorian stated "So I listen to her, but we need to find a safe place."

"And I know just the place." Kaleen stated "There's on old island halfway between Dorne and the Summer Islands that has a safe place for us to dock and plan, Stros M'Kai. It has a safe place for us to stay and I have some friends there who can help us gather the allies we need."

"And then we can make preparations to attack the Iron Islands." Victorian added "We heard that the mainland King Martin is preparing for war with the Mythic Dawn and so I expect Euron will plan to raid the mainland for the Mythic Dawn. We can gather our forces and strike Euron. If we assist Martin then he will hopefully allow the Iron Islands to remain independent but we will have some major enemies on the Islands, House Drumm has fully declared for Euron as have house Codd, Saltcliffe, Orkwood, Wynch and Myre. I've got the support of Houses Blacktyde, Botley, Sparr, Volmark, Tawney and Stonetree. Houses Harlaw and Goobrother are split as there are several branches of those houses."

"Many of the old style Ironborn have sided with Euron then?" Yara questioned which Victorian nodded "I expected that."

"For now we need to sail to Stros M'Kai." Kaleen stated "It will take us a while as we have to sail a distance from the Iron Islands so we don't get caught."

"And I have a gift for you niece." Victorian added "It's an old friend of yours." He pointed to a longship which Yara recognised, it was her ship, the Black Wind, the ship she had used during her attack on Deepwood Motte. When Theon retook Deepwood Motte, the ship was saved by the Ironborn who were able to escape before the rest of Yara's forces were overrun. "I feel like your ship should belong with her captain."

Yara gasped and smiled "Thank you uncle."

"Now we must be off." Victorian replied "We have a long journey ahead of us and Euron and his allies will be making their move soon."

Blackreach:

Viserys smirked as he stood on top of a Dwemer Tower and looked at the giant orb. He had the Elder Scroll in his hands facing the orb. He then opened the scrolls but did not look at the scrolls itself "Oh, Vulthuryol, I summon you almighty beast." He chanted and a bright light from the scroll shot out from the scrolls and struck the orb which made a loud noise. After a few moments of silence, Viserys heard a growl unlike any he had heard before. He turned to see the creature he always saw himself as being in human flesh, a dragon.

This dragon was unlike any he had seen before. He remembered seeing the Skull of Balerion the Black Dread when he was a small child which was the size of a wagon, this dragon was of a similar size with gold scales, a dragon fit for a King. The dragon landed on the ground nearby "Oh my brother." Viserys smiled "I am a dragon just like you, trapped in this human body. But you shall help me retake my rightful place as King."

The dragon known as Vulthuryol just growled at him, he did not see this human as a dragon. Being underground for so long had also driven him slightly insane and so he lashed out at Viserys who narrowly dodged his bite.

"No!" Viserys growled "I am a dragon! I demand you submit to me." Vulthuryol sent a blast of fire out at Viserys who just managed to avoid getting hit. Viserys narrowed his eyes and got the Elder Scroll "Maybe this will make you submit." He opened the scroll which made as Vulthuryol charged at him and the light caused the dragon to stop and then shake around like mad. The power of the scroll was affecting him and eventually, the dragon stopped shaking and lowered his head at Viserys who smirked "Now you submit to me. I am your rider, and you shall help me retake my throne from the Usurper. Now fly me home!" The dragon flew into the air and towards the roof of Blackreach. The Dragon unleashed a large fireball through the air which smashed into the rood and created a large hole to allow them to fly out. Viserys smirked, he was a dragon rider just like the Dragonlords of Valyria, and he felt like Aegon the Conqueror. He would be Viserys the reclaimer, the King who would reclaim his Throne from those who took it and he would bring the Targaryens back to Westeros.

Astapor: Essos:

Rhaenys Targaryen entered the Plaza where the Unsullied were waiting alongside Good Master Kraznys and several other Good Masters and Slavers. Rolly Duckfield and Franklyn Flowers walked alongside Rhaenys with Rolly holding the chest of dragon eggs. The Golden Company's Archer's Black Balaq was on the tower overlooking the Plaza after he had taken the place of the guard on watch. Missandei walked alongside Rhaenys while Kraznys spoke "The Master says that the Unsullied are untested. He says you would be wise to blood them early, there are many small cities ripe for sacking with your army. Should you take captive the Masters will buy the healthy ones for a good price. And who knows, in ten some of the boys may be Unsullied themselves."

Deep down, Rhaenys was disgusted by the attitude of selling humans like cattle but kept silent. Soon she would be able to throw away her cover and start the plan. The quest to liberate Slaver's Bay would begin in full. Now they would liberate the slaves of the major cities. Rolly placed the chest on a stone table in front of the Good Masters and Rhaenys took a key and opened the chest revealing the three Dragon Eggs. Kraznys approached and gave her a golden whip and Rhaenys noticed him eying her cleavage.

"They belong to me now?" Rhaenys questioned

Missandei translated what Rhaenys said and Kraznys replied "It is done, she holds the ship the bitch has her army."

Rhaenys rolled her eyes and walked to the front of the Unsullied "Unsullied." She spoke in Valyrian which Missandei widened her eyes, she did not know Rhaenys spoke Valyrian but Kraznys did not notice, he was too busy talking with his friends about the Dragon Eggs "Forward March. Halt" The Unsullied obeyed her words, this was a test to see if the Unsullied obeyed her. Now knowing that they did, she looked at the Tower Balaq was in and nodded.

Black Balaq looked in the Tower above the Plaza and saw Rhaenys nod. He got his bow out and nocked an arrow which he lit aflame and shot it over the Plaza.

Master Kraznys noticed this and looked at his guards "What the fuck was that about?" he demanded

Rhaenys smirked at looked at Kraznys "That was the signal!" she replied in Valyrian.

Everyone looked at Rhaenys in shock, she had spoken in Valyrian right in front of them. "You speak Valyrian?" Kraznys gasped

Rhaenys smirked "My name is Rhaenys Targaryen of House Targeryen. Former Dragonlords of Valyria and former ruling House of Westeros. Valyrian was the language of my ancestors. And now I'm building a new Kingdom for the Targaryens." She turned to the Unsullied "Unsullied, slay the masters, slay the soldiers, slay any man who holds a whip but do not harm any child. Strike the chains of every slave you see."

The Unsullied obeyed and began killing the people she ordered starting with the men holding whips near the Unsullied. Rolly and Flowers drew their swords to protect Rhaenys in case any guards attacked them.

Kraznys gasped as he watched the Unsullied turn against them "Stop!" he ordered "I am your master! Kill her! Kill the Whore! Kill the Bitch!" Those were his last words before Balaq fired an arrow which struck him in the throat and all he could do was chock on his blood before collapsing.

Rhaenys watched as the soldiers tried to fight against the Unsullied but they were not match for the highly trained soldiers and the people tried to flee. The Unsullied know who the Masters and the Slavers were and only targeted them.

Out in the harbour, Travis Thresh stood on his ship and watched the battle in the harbour go. As soon as he saw Balaq's signal, he ordered his ships to move in and blockade the harbour. Now he surrounded Astapor and he smiled, now he could complete his dream to end the barbaric practice of Slavery.

Fahlbtharz: Solstheim:

Jon really hoped that they were near the end of the ruins. After solving the Boiler puzzle, they had entered returned to the room filled with water and gears and had made their way across the room using valve to turn the towers and paths. Now they had entered a large room with a sealed door filled with Spiders and two of the most dangerous Dwemer construction, the Dwarven Centurion. Ygritte and Jenassa had been able to take one out by shooting arrows into its weak spot but Tormund had been burnt by the other by the steam but was alright. The overwhelming attack had eventually brought it down.

"So how do we get through that door?" Grenn asked

"There has to be a way." Jon stated "And I really hope this is the last puzzle, search around the room." They all split up to try and find a way.

It didn't take long for Serena to find something on the balcony "Hey Jon, take a look at this." Jon joined her where there were three pedestals, one of which had something on. "These pedestals look like they power the door. It we activate all three then we can open the door."

"What are they powered by?" Jon asked

"It seems they're powered by Centurion Cores." Serena stated and she shouted "Guy, pull out the core from the centurions and throw them up to us, we need them to open the doors."

"Where are these cores?" Tormund asked

"They should be under the plates on the Centurion's chests." Serena shouted.

Tormund took his axe and managed to pry open one of the Centurions while Jenassa did the same with the other. They both took out large gyros with a spinning red ball inside and they threw them up to Serena and Jon who caught one each. They placed the cores into the two remaining pedestals and then the door opened.

They all went into the room which was some kind of treasure room "This is it." Jenassa stated "This has to be it."

Serena agreed "That elevator there will take us back up to the surface" she stated "Let's grab what we can and then get out of here."

There were piles of gold and jewels which they took, they could be used to help buy supplies for the Wall. They found a strange helmet which was marked. This was the Visage of Mzund, the item that Ulyn and Eydis had come here to find. They took it with them and Tormund found a really badass looking axe which he took, it was much better than the one he had and so he discarded his old one in favour of the one he found. When they had everything, they went towards the elevator and made their way back to the surface; Jon really hoped he never had to go through ruins like this again.

Redwater Den:

Joffrey had made his way through the caverns under Redwater Den. He had encountered more vampires and Death Hounds. Thanks to his training, he had managed to defeat them and make his way through the tunnels. He had also managed to find some research to this place. Normally he hated reading but this might help him gain more power. Some research he found said that the water from the spring gave powers to vampires but only for a short while but mortals would get all manners of disease. Joffrey knew he shouldn't drink the water yet. He had also managed to find information about the spring about how it was once a sacred spring to the God Arkay until the head priest's love became a vampire, infected him and went on a rampage, the Bloodstone Chalice was mentioned.

He had soon encountered the lead vampire of the den known as Venarus Vulpin and had be able to kill him but the next door was locked. He soon found another journal that was of little interest and a key to the next room. In this room he found the spring that he was looking for.

The spring was a natural Water spring that formed underground rivers in the area only the water here was blood red. Normally Joffrey would have drank it for power but the journal warned him that it carried diseases for mortals so he left it alone. He took the Bloodstone Chalice and filled it with water from the spring.

Then the door in front of him slammed opened and Joffrey watched as two vampires entered but he recognised these two from the Hall "Hey!" he hissed "Why are you two here?" he demanded

Stalf laughed "Why do you think we're here you fool" he laughed "We're here to kill you."

Salonia smirked "It's a shame really. The little accident you had here, completely unexpected."

"Yeah" Stalf agreed "Lord Harkon's new favourite dead before he could join the family."

"It's good that I'm here to take the Chalice back to Vingalmo." Salonia sneered.

Stalf glared at her "Hey, that's not what we agreed, we said we would take it back together!"

Before Joffrey could react, Salonia shot forward and stabbed Stalf in the heart "You fool! Vingalmo wants you both dead, did you not think I would know that Orthjolf sent you here to take the chalice back to him." She pulled the dagger out and Stalf collapsed dead. Salonia turned to Joffrey but Joffrey had managed to hide while Salonia was distracted.

Joffrey jumped out of hiding and stabbed Salonia in the neck. Salonia choked on her blood and then died. Joffrey glared at the two traitors, he wanted to know what was going on, he decided to get some answers when he got back but first, he got the Chalice back and added Salonia's blood to the chalice, this prevented the water in the chalice from spilling. Now he placed the chalice back in his pack and left, determined to get his new power and also gain some answers as to why two of Harkon's followers tried to kill him.

King's Landing:

A crowd had gathered in the main square to witness the upcoming event. The people of the city were happy that the fanatic Sparrows had been taken care of and now people were free to go back to their business. Brothels, taverns and markets had reopened without fear of the Sparrows coming to try and shut them down. Some had seen the Sparrows as a prophet but after the attempted assassination of Martin and the reveal that the Sparrows had been helping a Daedric cult, pretty much everyone had turned against the Sparrows.

Lancel and the regular Sparrows had been branded with the Seven Pointed Star and then sent them on a ship which had been escorted from King's Landing, once the ship was away from the mainland, the Sparrows were told to sail anywhere but were not welcomed in Westeros. What happened to them now, Martin did not care.

Only two Sparrows were not exiled, the two leaders of the Sparrow movement, the High Sparrow and Septa Unella. A gallows had been set up and soon Martin arrived on the Gallows followed by the Master of Laws, Oberyn Martell and the King's Justice, Ahtar who was dragging the High Sparrow and Septa Unella who were in chains.

Martin stepped towards the roaring crowd which were being held back by the city watch and the Blades. "I never wanted it to come to this." He stated "When I became King, I swore that I would be just and not a cruel King like my brother was. However there are some things that I will not tolerate. And one of those things is persecution of people who worship different Gods. I don't care what people say, no one will be imprisoned because they worship different Gods. This man, the High Sparrow, has used his followers to intimate and imprison people who don't share the beliefs as he does. His followers tried to start an uprising and now they must pay the price."

The crowd cheered in response until Martin called for them to be quite "But first, I must make things clear, in my Kingdom, I decide what is law, not the faith and so when someone is exiled, it means they are exiled and that includes Septa." Septa Unella was dragged forward "This woman, Septa Unella, was exiled from King's Landing for harming my sister when she was younger. But she decided to return and I cannot allow that to stand. She was also responsible for imprisoning and torturing prisoners. So I sentence her to death by Hanging as a commoner." The crowd cheered and Ahtar dragged the kicking Septa onto the Gallows where she was forced onto a stool and had a rope wrapped around her head. "Do you have any final words?"

Septa Unella glared at the crowd "You are all Sinners!" she hissed "When the time comes, you shall burn in the Seven Hells while I will live at the side of the Seven."

Martin shook his head "You're wrong." He hissed "The seven won't accept those who help demon Gods." He nodded to Ahtar who kicked the stood from under Unella and the Septa dropped. She did not die instantly and began shaking around on the rope as it strangled her. After a short while, Septa Unella fell silent.

And now it was time for the other execution. Martin turned back to the crowd "As the leader of the Sparrow Movement, the High Sparrows crimes are even greater than this Septa's. And what makes his crimes worse is that he assisted the Mythic Dawn, an order which just made an attempt on my life so that's two ways he has committed treason against me. Now he has to pay the price. I'm not a big fan of this type of punishment but I have to show that treason will never go unpunished. He shall be half hanged and while still alive, he shall be disembowelled before beheading."

The crowd cheered as Ahtar dragged the High Sparrow onto the Gallows. Unlike Septa Unella, he went quietly. The revelation that he had been helping the Mythic Dawn had broken him. He had sworn to serve the Gods but had committed the vilest act he could. And so he accepted his fate. He closed his eyes as the rope was wrapped around his neck. When Ahtar pulled on the rope which lifted him up into the air. The High Sparrow choked and tried to keep his eyes closed. Before he was strangled to death, Ahtar released the High Sparrow who collapsed to the ground. Ahtar then took a knife and plunged it into the High Sparrow's chest and pulled his guts out. Amazingly, the High Sparrow did not scream but he did cough up blood. Then Ahtar took out his axe and with one chop, the High Sparrow's head was severed from his shoulders. Ahtar picked up the head and showed it to the crowd who cheered.

Martin looked at his sister "Well, I've dealt with one enemy." He said to her "But we have more to deal with."

"Well no matter what happens, I will always be with you brother." Alessia replied "We are family and family sticks together."

Alessia and Martin smiled at each other and looked at the crowd who were cheering at the head of the High Sparrow and the dangling body of Septa Unella.

Chapter End:

Notes: Well another chapter complete and now a major villain had been killed. This is the end of the Sparrows in this story as I have no plans for them to return in the future. Although they may be mentioned in a planned sequel to this story. I had debated on how to kill the High Sparrow and I settled on this as he did commit treason and since he wasn't noble blood, a beheading won't be appropriate since that type of execution was only meant for nobles. From the next chapter, there will be more warfare and now we've arrived at the Mythic Dawn war arc which starts in the next chapter although I won't be able to write every event but it will allow some characters to have a bigger role than they've had before in this season such as Stannis Baratheon. I have also did a short rewrite on chapter 28 to show the relationship between Ramsay and Joffrey is not great. Ramsay does not like Joffrey as he feels like he is the true Champion of Molag Bal, not Joffrey. The next chapter I'll be working on will be a chapter of my Dragon X story.
