End of Youth / Tommen Baratheon (2.2)

34. Heart of All

"Queen Rieka," Jon remarked happily.

"Oh, is it queen now that your queen relinquished her claims?" Rieka mused. Her gaze shifted to Bran again. "When is he going to come back? I want to hug him properly." 

"Has anyone seen Arya?" Rickon questioned. 

"She's surely here." Jon remarked looking around. "She wasnt in the crypts." 

"Tyrion-" Daenerys demanded.  But he marched past her. 

"King Tommen," Tyrion remarked. "Has a nice ring to it." 

"Thank you uncle Tyrion." Tommen answered. "I dont think you killed Joffrey." Tommen added softly. 

"Thank you." Tyrion agreed. 

"Tommen, is Eurons fleet ready?" Rieka questioned turning to him, she offered Tyrion a small smile. 

"Yes. They are in position." Tommen agreed. "The troops are at the walls, blocking the main gates... the castle is secure." 

"Sightings!" a steward declared running into the great hall. "They are... monsters." he didnt have a better word for it, the walkers were monsters. 

"They are here?" Tommen questioned rising up. He tried to keep his racing heart and nerves from showing, he was the king after all. 

"ALl of them." 

Rieka looked to Jon. He grabbed her hand kissing her cheek. 

"Get safe." Jon instructed. 

"Jon, be careful." Rieka begged hugging him. 

"ALright, lets get to positions then." Tommen agreed. He looked to Daenerys, "your dragons-"

"Just the one." Daenerys corrected. Cersei scoffed. 

"How does one lose two dragons?" Cersei questioned. 

"Mother." Tommen demanded silence. "Daenerys can you take to the sky? Give us a boarder of fire, give the men some more time to get into position, get the rest of the people to safety." Daenerys nodded, she didnt like that she was taking orders instead of giving them but she did as he requested. "Thank you." Tommen added and Daenerys glanced back at him, she had planned on taking back the throne after they won this, if they won this but Tommen wasnt his mother. She still wanted to be queen though. 

"Rickon come on." Rieka instructed, "Give Jon a hug and lets get Bran out of here." Rickon hugged JOn tight whispering words RIeka couldnt hear as she moved to Tommen. 

"I want to hug TJ before I head out there." Tommen remarked. 

"You are not going out there." Cersei corrected. 

"I am the king, mother." Tommen corrected. "I can't hide from this. I have to fight for my kingdoms." 

 As the night king approached his main forces lined up along the outer walls. Thats where they focused their attention.  But the night king was smart and has a separate force along the water's edge. Where Eruon Greyjoys fleet is stationed.

Rieka stared out the window, they were in the tallest peak, if the dead breached the walls. Tommen hugged Tj before moving to Rieka, she kissed him gently and hugged him tightly. 

"Be careful. Come back to us." Rieka begged. 

"I love you." Tommen whispered before heading down. She echoed his words as he left. 

As the temperature dropped the water around Euron's fleet started to freeze allowing the White Walkers access to the port making the defending army have to defend from two fronts.

"Fucking hell the water!" Euron spat. "Those fuckers are walking on the water- get them damnit!" Here he thought he was safer on his ship but he wasnt. He watched as the walkers climbed on their ships breaking their ships, attacking their men. He saw some of them were in unsullied uniforms, others dorthraki.

From the front lies they could see Dothraki on undead horses Undead unsullied and a bunch of undead Giants join the battle for the night King as well. They had to fight against their family, their friends, the people that tried to help them. Now were just another enemy.

Euron screamed out as Lyanna Mormont sunk her teeth into his neck before throwing him over the ship he landed with a smack on the ice, his blood oozing out. 

But as the defenses of King's Landing began to fall Bran awakened from his dreamlike state as the three-eyed Raven. Bran spent this time since the fall of Winterfell going back in time searching for clues that could reveal the Night Kings weakness and those clues lined the messages and symbols.

"Rieka!" Bran declared and she clung to him. 

"Bran!" she sobbed into him. 

"I know how to stop him." Bran remarked. "Get Daenerys."

"Bran-"

"We need her dragon." Bran declared. 

"The castle is falling, he has too many men, he is to strong." Rieka corrected. 

"We need her dragon. We have to be quick." Bran begged. "Trust me RIeka, trust me." 

Daenerys was confused as she came back down wiping the sweat from her brow. Bran regrouped with Tommen and JOn as well.  

"Listen to me." Bran demanded. "The night King is linked to the children of the forest." Bran remembered that the night King was created by them,  "in a place called God's eye, the great weirwood tree."

"Bran you are not making any sense." Rickon decided. 

"The grandeur a great weirwood tree. The heart of all the weir woods in Westeros and is the source of the night Kings power." Bran remarked.  "After all it created him. Why can't it destroy him as well?"
