The Lone Wolf Returns(RECONTINUED)

The Fiery Stag To War

A/N:Another chapter to our Rightful King

It has been a fortnight maybe more since he has left Winterfell he has lost count of the days.The Starks were reportedly taking time going up the White Knife.The first encounter with the Stark forces was a skirmish between the scouts followed by more skirmishes and negotiations.How dare that girl demanded me bend the knee and relinquish Winterfell.

Now since all has failed both sides were finally marching against each other,both sides of equal numbers and led by equally skilled commanders.Davos is at Winterfell to keep not only the Garrison together but also his wife Selyse in line.Today is the day he would march against the Stark girl and either win or die trying to fight for his crown.For Shireen,for the Kingdom and for duty.

And so they saw the Stark host,descended among the plains in a well organized formation which was equally flanked with Southron horse but eastern and northern footmen.Where are the Direwolves? Fools,wars aren't won by lies but blood and steel.The war would change hear and singers would sing of this battle where the stag would fight the wolf but among those wolf banners were the Merman of Manderly,Lizard Lion of Reed,Blacktrout of Ser Brynden flanking the Direwolves of Stark but surprisingly in the vanguard there was another banner.

A Baratheon Stag of Black upon Gold.Why is there a Baratheon among them.But Stannis couldn't care and so when bothe armies were facing each other with a few hundred yards in between.So a final chance at talking,a white flag was flown by both side.

When he rode forward with his guards he came to face the so called Arya Stark.

"Here stands King Stannis of House Baratheon first of His Name,the Rightful Lord and Protector of Seven Kingdoms."the announcer proclaimed.Then a golden haired girl in red and gold armor.Lannister."Here stands Arya of House Stark,Queen in the North,Winter,First Men and Trident."

This is truly Eddard Stark's daughter,the face,the attitude,regal outlook and those eyes those goddamn soul piercing eyes.Before he could begin she started."Stannis.,as we are negotiating here we are equals as Lord Baratheon and I as Lady Stark.Would you consent?" She asked and the way a true Stark would."Yes Lady Stark,we are equals here"

"Good then,I would like to thank you for defeating the Bastard of Bolton and driving Roose to ten Dreadfort till now." She bowed in recognition."Welcome Lady Stark,your Lord Father was not close to me as Robert but he was and still is the most honorable man I've met." Stannis admitted.

"Lord Baratheon I'm honored to hear that but now to urgent matters,I as Lady of Winterfell have come here to demand you surrender your crown and leave the North in peace."Stannis was shocked to hear this bluntly.

"Lady Stark,your brother is the Lord of Winterfell and Warden of the North and I will not surrender till I have my crown." Stannis,furious over the demand."I plead Lord Baratheon to surrender for peace and that we speak as equals but I am the Queen in The North,Winter,First Men and the Trident.I am betrothed to King Aegon VI of Westeros and that means you are only the Lord of Storms End and Dragonstone."

Stannis was now really furious and true to his house motto."Ours is the Fury Lady Stark." Stannis gritted his teeth."Winter is Coming with Fire and Blood." She replied with her own motto and the Targaryen motto.

And so battle was the only course of action and since it was morning the battle would be by the afternoon.With time to spare Stannis organized the forces into an arrow formation meant to breakthrough enemy lines.From his vantage point,the Stark forces were arranged in a checker board formation.Lessons for the East,the Ghiscari used this formation which allowed their legions to dominate Essos.

The battlefield consisted of plains and rolling hills,typical geography of the North with the White Knife cutting the battlefield in half.Stannis army on the Northern Bank and the Starks in the Southern Bank.

When afternoon came,the horns were sounded and both armies marched.Stannis with his guards his horsemen were already fighting the Stark horse and soon both infantry formations clashed.The offensive oriented arrow formation versus the flexible and defensive formation,from here he could hear the battle being fought.Men vs men the White Knife littered with blood and a kingdoms fate decided.

His horsemen were of the mountain clans fighting Manderly and other Southron horsemen suited to heavy battle,both strong but now he could see its a stalemate.His arrow formation was devastatingly slowed by the shield wall vanguard of the Starks,the men were peppered with Crannogmen missiles.Among the enemy defense,he saw what he thought was Robert come again swinging with his warhammer,then a closer look was the boy from the smithy in Kings Landing.What was his name again? Yes,Gendry..Gendry Waters.

So deciding he's gonna win or lose,Stannis took his personal guard and charged among the men.The men were shocked to see their King and morale was raised.Yes we are winning now admitted Stannis as the Stark foot was slowly withdrawing but the horsemen were still fighting.As they were thought to be winning,the Starks sent a mass surprise,as the withdraw was a covering as the reserve two lines of the checker board came and charge.

For the first time,Stannis was scared as thousands of reserves came and launch a final charge."MEN FORM SHIELD WALL!!" Stannis shouted atop his horse.The defensive formation put into place as the men were still shocked from the new wave,Stannis decide to get into the fight with his guards.Crossing over the river they met a stream of arrows and swords and spears, men died instantly,Stannis pushed on using his strength to cut through the waves.

It became a mantra to him and he pushed on.

Then he met the commander of this enemy charge.

The girl herself ..

Arya Stark.
