The Lone Wolf Returns(RECONTINUED)

The Griffin Hand

News of Stannis Baratheon's death brought a mixed reaction across the realm,the pious smallfolk and Lords rejoiced with the death of a heathen,while Stormlords mourn the lost of another Baratheon but to himself,Jon thought the lost of Stannis was both bad and good.Now he had more worry for with the Baratheon defeat the Stark girl has more power than Aegon now,the North has always been looked down by the other Kingdoms for its lack of wealth and power.

That's what fools would think.The North is powerful and mighty especially in its loyalty to the Starks,the current situation has only increased its need of a Stark leadership proven that both Bolton and Baratheon has failed them in this Winter.The North's size speaks for itself as it lacks population but it still fields a huge force from it.He remembered looking at the reports of each Kingdom when he was Hand of the King to Aerys II,Thank the Gods I was exiled from that madman.he saw how the strong the North was and still is.

The North can raise 50,000 men to war,the Young Wolf brought 18,000 men south only a few return and with this Winter and the battles there.Estimations would be the North can call upon 20,000 men to the war but that is what he fears,will the Stark girl keep her bargain or will she make the North independent but with the Westerlands and the Riverlands as addition.He had noticed how the Imp is with the girl and how she has him wrapped around her fingers especially with HER army seizing Casterly Rock.

Still,learning Stannis's death shocked him to the core as the man was a warrior and even though he was a pretender Jon respected the man for holding loyalty and duty to Robert and helping to save the Realm from the Wildlings and fighting Joffrey the Falseborn.As he rest in the his solar overlooking the Bay with the winds striking him,he looks on to a world where Rhaegar never take the Stark girl to the Tower of Joy.He can see it a world where he would serve as Hand of the King,Aegon as Prince of Dragonstone,Viserys a Prince of Summerhall,Daenerys married to a High Lord,Rhaenys married to also another High Lord and the Realm much more stable.

As he prepares to rest,a knock is sounded and he opens to see Halfmaester Haldon with a worried look and he is informed that Aegon has summoned a council to his Solar as they arrived he could see how Arianne Martell fuming while Aegon and the rest were having a worried look.Aegon handed him a letter and by its current condition,the Raven sending this was badly trained,as he read the letter he knows why.

If you read this letter now in Storm's End,I'm heading for the Wall to assess the situation at the Watch.

I know it is expected of me to be at the South now but the Tyrells are mustering a force against you as we speak and have by now march a force of 14,000 men aided by Stormlords who have planned to betray you.Among those lords are the Marcher Lords and Lords Bolling,Buckler and with them the western half of the Stormlands.Be prepared as they will regathered with the Tyrells under Ser Garlan Tyrell with Ser Baelor Hightower.

I've already sent a force of 12,000 men as I head to the Wall with the other 8,000.

I hope we will continue to communicate and the betrothal will be honored not soiled with Princess Arianne's plans.

Yours Sincerely,
Arya Stark,Queen In The North,Winter,First Men,Lady of Winterfell and Protector of the Old Gods.

As Jon read the last titles and the plan,he still reeled in the realization of how Arya Stark who is so far North know about Arianne Martell and Doran Martell's plan.As he was about to close the letter he realized a mini note below all the titles.

Also,beware that I know all your plans.Do no trust all your Lords and that I have spies around the Stormlands and the Keep.

As he noticed the situation became more tense,Arianne Martell shouting about how Arya Stark is betraying them and so many matters he just walked and left the chambers.

The Realm needs a Queen who is Wise,Patient,Diligent,of Ancient Lineage and a strong dowry.

As he sleeps after the chaos in the chambers,he just prays that the Realm won't bleed anymore once this war is over.

THE END
