Should've Said No // Jaime Lannister (0.5)

6. Lyanna

Taeylor got quite used to being alone. She focused on her music while everyone was fighting she wrote a few songs. Burned a few others.

Cersei avoided Taeylor thinking herself better than Taeylor and knew with complete certainty that she would be queen once the war was won.

Taeylor couldnt help but think that Cersei wasnt worried about her twin brother. Taeylor was worried and she didnt even know Jaime that well. He was always kind to her but being so much younger and Cerseis clear dislike for Taeylor she never tried to befriend the twins.

Now the war was raging and Taeylor worried for her father, her uncle, Jaime and Sandor. She strummed patiently as she tried to think of a ballad that could be played at their wedding.

Tywin Lannister sacked King's Landing. It was in this final hour that Tywin Lannister decided to join the conflict. He marched with a large force to King's Landing and asked that he and his bannermen be allowed into the city to aid in its defense. Aerys made the mistake of trusting his old friend, Tywin had been his hand for 20 years and ordered the gates opened. The moment the Lannister host had entered, the Sack of King's Landing ensued.

Nevertheless, on Pycelle's advice, the gates were opened to the massive Lannister army of 10 000 soldiers and began killing hundreds, even thousands of people. Tywin and his army ordered the city to be taken and the royal family murdered in a ruthless and efficient manner; as a result the city was sacked and the royal family massacred by Ser Gregor Clegane. Upon seeing Tywin's betrayal, Aerys ordered Jaime to bring him Tywin's head and instructed his royal pyromancer, Rossart, to set King's Landing ablaze.

Mad Aerys is slain by a member of his own Kingsguard, Ser Jaime Lannister, earning the latter the nickname Kingslayer.

Seeing that he was doomed, Aerys decided to ignite several caches of wildfire placed throughout the city and burn King's Landing to the ground, but was slain by Ser Jaime Lannister.

His final words were "Burn them all." Jaime responded by personally stabbing the Mad King in the back, then slitting his throat

Aerys had kept Rhaegar's wife Elia of House Martell and her children in King's Landing to ensure the Martells' loyalty during the conflict, regarded by most to be royal hostages .During the sacking, Elia was raped and murdered by Gregor Clegane on the orders of Tywin. Both of her children were also killed..

Stannis Baratheon fought for his elder brother Robert during the war. Aerys used his allies in House Tyrell to besiege Stannis at Storm's End for much of the war. Stannis's force was rescued from starvation by the smuggler Davos, who brought a ship full of onions and fish into the castle. Rhaegar was killed during the fighting at the Battle of the Trident, slain by Robert himself. The site of his death is now called the Ruby Ford because it is believed to be scattered with rubies from the fallen prince's armor.

The rebels realized that they needed an undisputed leader to command their forces and to replace Aerys once he was removed. To his dismay, they chose Robert, as his grandmother had been the daughter of King Aegon V Targaryen, giving him the best claim to the throne outside of Aerys and his children and grandchildren. Thus, Robert Baratheon claimed the Iron Throne.

When Robert Baratheon and Eddard Stark reached the Red Keep, Tywin presented the bodies of the royal family as proof of his allegiance. After the rebellion, Robert Baratheon took the throne and married Tywin's daughter Cersei to cement the alliance between their houses.

Ned disapproved strongly of the murder of Princess Elia, Prince Aegon and Princess Rhaenys, which caused a rift between him and Robert. Ned had left with another army to travel to Storm's End, where he accepted Lord Mace Tyrell's surrender and oath of loyalty to Robert.

Storm's End, remarkably, had not fallen despite being under siege for a year. Lord Stannis' garrison had been kept alive by entrepreneurial smugglers led by a free sail named Davos. For his services, Stannis raised him to knighthood, although he felt compelled by justice to remove the ends of Davos' fingers on one hand for his previous crimes.

Ned learned that his sister was being held captive at a place called the Tower of Joy, a stone tower that Rhaegar had built for her in the shadow of the Red Mountains. He took six companions with him, to find the last three unaccounated-for members of the Kingsguard present: Lord Commander Gerold Hightower, Ser Arthur Dayne and Ser Oswell Whent.

Despite the numbers, Ned's force was almost wiped out.

'Lord Stark...'

'I looked for you on the trails' Ned told Dane.

'Well we weren't there' Dane told him.

'The mad king is dead, Reaghar lies beneath the ground why weren't you there to protect your prince?' ned questioned them

'Our loyalties lie here.' Dane told them

'Where is my sister?' Ned questioned

'I wish you good fortune in the wars to come,' Dane said putting his helmet back on. 'And now it begins,' they drew their swords.

'No, now it ends.' Ned told them that and his men drew their swords as well. Ned and Howland attacked.  Neds sword was flown from his hands, things looked bleak but then Dane fell to the ground as Reed stabbed him from behind then Ned sliced his throat. There was another scream heard from the tower and Ned ran, following the path.

But he stopped, seemed to slow, turning, he heard a whisper of his name in the wind but saw no one, the screams brought him back. Ned continued up the staircase to get to the top of the tower

'Ned?'

'Lyanna?' Lyanna lay bloody in pale in bed.

'Ned.  Is that you? Is that really you?' she question she was covered in blood 'you're not a dream?'

'No I'm not dream' he said trying to comfort his sister 'I'm here. Right here.' he assured her

'I've missed you big brother'

'I've missed you too' he told her

'I want to be brave' she told him.

'You are lyanna you are the bravest person I know.' Ned assured her.

'I'm not,' she told him 'I don't want to die.'

'You're not going to die. I'll get you some water!'

'No I don't need water' she told him

'Get her a measter!' Ned demanded. That's when they heard the cries baby a handmaiden placed the baby in Ned's arms.

'No, no water, no measter, just listen to me ned.' Lyanna whispered the name of her newborn son to Ned. 'Aegon Targaryen.' She made him promise her that he would protect him, as Robert would surely kill him, if it came to be known that her child is Rhaegar's son. 'If Robert finds out he will kill him, you know he will, you have to protect him, no one must know, not even the child, not even my child may know. It is too dangerous. Promise me Ned. Promise me. Promise me.' lyanna said slowly fading as little Aegon cried in Ned's arms. 'promise me' Lyanna said again 'promise me.'
