Lady Lannister || Game of Thrones

The Queen and the Red Priestess

Johanna looks around as Lady Ceryse enters her chambers with the Red Woman behind her with a frown as she stands with a glance to her lady in waiting who looks back at her with a confused look.

"How dare you enter the Queen's chambers without knocking or being announced," the Lady says to the two women who look at her before looking at the Queen who looks back at them confused as she puts a hand to her Lady in Waiting who bows her head as she steps back into the shadows.

"What is your purpose with entering my chambers?" Johanna asks confused as she looks at the two women.

"I have brought you a Red Priestess, my Queen" Lady Ceryse bows her head to the Queen who frowns as she looks at the woman dressed in Red with a confused look on her face.

"A 'Red Priestess'?"

"I am a servant to the Lord of Light my Queen" the lady says with a bow of her head as she enters the chambers with no invitation that makes Johanna frown her displeasure.

"Is this another plot to make me join the Seven?" Johanna looks from the Red Priestess to Lady Ceryse who shakes her head with wide eyes as she steps forwards towards the Queen who looks at her with a raised brow.

"No, no my Queen," the Hightower denies as the Lady in Waiting watches with Falcon eyes as she seems disinterested bowing her head to Johanna who glances back at her as if it is muscle memory.

"Then why is a Red Priestess in my chambers?" Johanna questions coolly trying not to loose her cool as she glares at the Red Woman who looks back at her with a calm smile on her face.

"I am here to show you His power."

Johanna blinks confused as she watches the Red Priestess pull out a knife that makes Ceryse's eyes widen in shock as the lady in waiting pulls the Queen back behind her as she watches the Red Priestess as the Queen gasps in shock.

"Witness His power," the Priestess says the she looks down at the knife and mutters words that makes the knife go up in flames that makes everyone's eyes widen. 

Even Ceryse Hightower who had seen some of the power the Red Woman possessed was shocked at the brightness of the flames and how quickly the knife went up in flames.

"What was the point of this?" Johanna's voice cuts through the silence and stuns the Red Woman who had never had that reaction before. Normally it was people falling to their knees begging for their lives.

"My Queen?" she asks confused as she looks at the Hightower who looks back at her just as shocked.

"What was your purpose in showing me a flaming knife?" Johanna asks again as she looks between her lady and the Red Priestess who are looking at her in shock.

The Lady in waiting smiles behind her hand as she turns away from the three woman trying to hide her amusement.

"If you wish for me to follow Gods other than my own, then you will need to show me more than this."

The Red Woman nods thinking as the flames vanish before smiling as she looks up at Johanna and puts voice to words she had heard many years ago.

"Nine children you will birth and two husbands you shall have. Six children with the first, one with the other." Ceryse looks at Johanna who continues to watch the Red Woman with wide eyes filled with terror.

"Two children you shall loose due to a husband and two more you shall loose to the woman in green." The Red Woman pauses for breath as her eyes go white as she recalls the words a witch spoke to the Queen when she was a child.

"One shall grow distant and you will die before you can repair the bond broken. You shall be Queen to be cast down by another who will grown like a flower around your husband as you grow ill." Johanna clears her throat as she puts a hand to it in terror as she looks at the Lady in waiting who looks back at her with confusion written all over her face. "An illness you shall keep hidden due to the shame it will cause."

"You will not live to see your children grow old."
