THE WAR OF ICE AND FIRE

Skirmishes

After two days of resting in the Reach, Robb's Stark's army began its march towards their final battle, same as the Targaryen forces who had decided to defeat their opponent in one single Battle.

While the armies marched at land, on sea the Royal Fleet, which by now had complete Naval Dominance, began their massive blockade of Dorne. The Vale, The Fleet belonging to Lords of Narrow Sea and The Northern Fleet placed themselves within the Stepstones and intercepted any Ships coming from the Free Cities.

It is also here that Aurune Waters made his name as a great Naval Captain. He led the Velaryon fleet about 30 Ships and attacked the Stepstones, wanting to get rid of the stranglers of the Targaryen Fleet who had escaped from the Battle of Shipbreaker Bay and had now turned to Piracy taking refuge in the desolate Islands.

Robb would not tolerate Pirates to infest the Waters of Westeros, and immediately ordered them distroyed. And following his orders, Aurane did just that, attacking the main Pirate base in Bloodstone.

The following Battle of Bloodstone is nothing but a massacre for the Pirates. Their fleet is nothing but a smattering of Cogs with a few Longships and no good leadership. They were slaughtered by the Velaryon Fleet, who had gained tremendous experiences in the Battles of Shipbreaker Bay and Dragonstone.

While this was happening Theon Greyjoy and Asha Greyjoy led the rest to burning and pillaging of the Dornish Coast. Asha who was cold with anger over Qarl's death.

After sacking several Villages, Asha and Theon finally split up their forces. Theon took most of the ships to continue his raiding and pillaging of the Dornish coast while Asha took the Iron Born to strike at a far more precious target.

Planky Town. The only City and Port of Dorne.

Dorne

Planky Town

Asha Greyjoy

Night had fallen and moonlight softly illuminated the coast of Dorne.

Asha Greyjoy, the only daughter of Balon Greyjoy, looks at the silhouette of the nearing town. Her mind boiling with the cold rage she was about to unleash on the port town.

She had prepared for the attack for an entire day. Her decision was to attack at night to make sure it was unexpected and sudden, so that the defenders didn't have any time to mount a proper defense.

When her ships entered Dornish Waters, she ordered most of her crewmen to bind one of their eyes with a black cloth to make one of their eyes adapt to Darkness.

And it was effective. As they reached near the Town, Asha removed the eye patch from her left eye and ordered her men to do the same. She blinked a couple of times before smiling as she saw she could see perfectly in the soft moonlight.

"It worked" She thought in relief, pleased with the results. Because of her plan, they didn't even have to carry torches on their ships, making them completely unseen in the Darkness. The Dornish won't know what hit them.

As her ships nearned, Asha motioned her crew to work. Her battle tested Ironborn Warriors sprung into action. Quickly boarding into the boats to be lowered in the water.

Asha turned to her subordinate "You know what to do, Kalon". The Soldier, Kalon, nodded in affirmative. Asha satisfied with this quickly boarded her own boat along with twenty other men.

There were no elaborate speeches nor any last many motivations. They all know what they must do. They have heard the plan a dozen times.

And for the plan to succeed they have do that silently.
