(Game of Thrones) The Weirwood Wolf

(15) Meeting a King and cracking a tooth

( POV Robb Stark )

I rode into the camp Renly Baratheons camp. All around me I saw banners of dozens of houses, many men with roses and white towers on their shields and armour many more than there where Stags. It seems as if the 'King of the Seven Kingdoms' has only two.

I rode to where I was asked to meet Renly. The insult didn't go unnoticed, to ask me to meet him at a tourney but to send no lords to guide me, only some guards. This was the kind of insult I'd expect to find in a court room but we are in war and this so called 'King' will need to be able to fight as well as insult potential allies.

I was escorted to the meeting grounds. I saw the Knight of Roses fighting some giant man, it ended with the giant man winning, though it turned out it was a woman and she ended up being appointed to Renly's rainbow guard. His beautiful wife seemed to notice me first and after she pointed out my presence Renly turned to me.

"Ah Lord Stark, Welcome." He said and the Greatjon bristled by my side as he called me Lord Stark. A herald began to announce all Renly's titles.

"You stand before his grace, Renly Baratheon, King of the Andals, Rhoynar and the first men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms and protector of the realm." He listed it was then the Greatjon stepped forward to introduce me.

"Presenting King Robb Stark, the Young Wolf, King of the North, the Trident and the Vale." The Greatjons booming voice echoed around the arena.

"If I'm not mistaking that is three of your Seven Kimgdoms is it not, in fact you only have two Kingdoms supporting your claim is that not correct?" I asked him and I saw the girly looking knight who lost to the giant anger at my words.

"Watch who your speaking to boy we have ninety thousand men your outnumbered." The rose knight said anger clear in his voice.

"And yet if i where to empty my kingdoms of soldiers as you have done now I'd have seventy five thousand and you'd only have fifteen thousand more than me. How many more men than us did the Lannisters have at the beginning  of the war again?" I asked the Lord beside me

"Fifteen thousand my Lord." The Greatjon replied and I turned back to the girly flower knight

"So I would watch who you are speaking to boy, lest you end up like the Kingslayer." I spoke to him and as I said this Greywind walks to my side and everyone around steps back in fear as he growls at the Knight, he fell silent as I placed my hand on his back.

"Shall we turn some where more private your Grace?" Renlys queen asked, this time using my proper title.

"Yes lets." We shall I replied as I smiled at the woman.

( POV Thorin Stark )

I sat in my tent with only Alduin as company. Though I wasn't only in my room, I was also seeing through the eyes of every mouse, bird and insect inside the Golden Tooth. It seemed Lord Lefford was in Tywins host at Harrenhal and in his absence Lady Alysanne the Lords sister was in charge of the Golden Tooth.

From what I have seen the woman is quite bright when it comes to running a household and she is fully prepared for a long siege. But she is not prepared for me. I've also seen what they have in their stores, it's full of food, half the food and livestock that is being used to feed the Lannister army. We need to take it, we could feed our own army as well as starve the Lannisters.I got up, left my tent and went to find Maege Mormont.

"My Lady I have a plan. Set a watch at the gate to The Tooth when the gate is open charge through." I told her.

"Are you going to do what you did at the Twins? How many men will you need?" She asked

"None I'll be going myself." I replied

"I'll set the watches right away, and I'll prepaid the men for a charge." She said before I left and made my way into the forest. I arrived at the newly grown Heart tree. I kneeled before it and closed my eyes when I opened them I was kneeling in front of a different Heart tree the one in the Golden Tooth.

I stood, pulled up my hood, walked to the wall and began to climb. Soon enough I reached an open window that was close to the Lords solar where I knew the lady would be. I climbed through the window and began to walk through the halls I'd seen many times though never through the eyes of a human. I reached the bottom of a set of stairs that would lead to the solar. There where two guards stood there.

"You th-" one began before he had one of my hidden blades through his throat, I grabbed the others head in my Weirwood hand and slammed his head against the wall behind him with a strength no human should possess. I left them both on the ground in their own blood and walked up the steps. Once up the steps I opened the door to the solar.

As I entered I willed Chillrend into my hand. Inside I saw a graceful woman talking to a hulking man, this was the captain of the guard I knew. When they saw me the woman screamed and called for a guard, the man unsheathed his long sword and charged me with a shout.

He swung high but his blow hit only the steel of my blade, I grabbed the blade with my Weirwood hand and and shattered the sword. Before he could even process any more I raised Chillrend high in the air and swung down at him with all my unnatural strength. He was cleaved in two.

"ALYN! NO!" The lady screamed. As I willed my blade away. I approached her, flicked my wrist making my hidden blade pop out.

"If you want to remain alive your going to do exactly as I say." I tell her as she looks at me with fear

"What do you want me to do?" She asked as her voice quivers in fear

"Your going to command your men to open the gate and allow the Northern host in." I told her

"Okay I'll do it, just please spare me." She replied. I walked behind her with my blade at her back until we reached the courtyard.

"Open the gate and surrender to the Northern host." The lady commanded the all the men that had occupied the yard on her command.

"At once my Lady one of the senior guards said as he eyed me warily.

"The Northmen eat human flash, they will sacrifice us all to their dam trees, I'll never surrender to a savage." Another objected as he drew his sword and charged the other man.

I placed my blade at the Lady's neck and watched everything unfold with a smile on my face. The men kept dying it was absolute chaos, at some point in the battle the gate was opened and the Northmen charged through, they where led by Lord Karstark and his sons. I saw Edmure also, he insisted to go to rid himself of the shame from the beginning of the war, but I only saw him for a moment until he disappeared into the chaos. The battle only lasted a few minutes after the Northern forces breached the walls. When the fighting was completed Lord Karstark approached me.

"My Lord what are we to do with the Lady and the prisoners?" He asked me

"The Lady place her in a cell, and any remaining Lannister men, bring them to the Gods Wood, I'll make a sacrifice of them to the Gods." I replied and he nodded, I could see the bloodlust in his eyes.

Once in the Gods Wood I had the prisoners brought before the heart tree. There where only a around twenty five men left after the massacre that was the battle, everyone of them lost there head to Chillrend.

"Lord Karstark." I called

"Yes my Lord?" He said

"I have a task for you, you are to take eight thousand Northmen to The Crag where you are to storm the castle, then with the men you are to march to Ashmark where you will besiege the castle there, any highborns are to be taken prisoner any soldier is to be executed."

"Right away my Lord." He said before leaving to organise his host.

"Lady Mormont." I called

"Aye My Lord" she said

"You are to take four thousand men and burn the Westerlands." I said to her and she answered with a nod of confirmation.

"Lord Glover, you are to ready the men, we travel to Oxencross, we have lion to feast on." I said and he answered with a booming laugh and a large grin
