Tyrion

" ' A song of ice and fire ' huh such a stupid name . If it was me , i would have rather named it something like ' The dragon and the wolf ' aye ? Sounds better right ? " Tyrion asked to the only person sitting in the room . Candles were lit up in the entire room , even the days were as dull as nights . His table , the only table in the room was occupied by different books , papers , feathers and what not . But what captured the eyes were the beautiful glass bottles with blood red wines . There were around ten bottles placed everywhere in the room , but Lord Tyrion told the maids the other day that the room still looked quite empty , and that they should bring in more wine bottles and place them everywhere possible ! But he told them to be careful and to not place the bottles too high for him . Table was a fine place .

" Ny i love the name , it's very poetic ! " answered Bronn while pouring some wine in his glass . He took another glass and poured some for Lord Tyrion .
" Poetic ! " scoffed Tyrion taking his wine . " Have you read any poem in your entire life ? Oh come on don't scare me please " Tyrion giggled as he looked Bronn in his eyes expecting a crazy reaction .
But before Bronn could open his mouth , Sam entered the room with a thud on the door , short of breath .

" Looks like maester climbed the entire Tower of Hand for the fifth time aye " joked Bronn .

Sam walked to them , the floor was ice cold and he could feel his legs going numb slowly since few day .
" Well the Lord of highgarden seems relaxed of his duties . Maybe you should go back to your castle and do something for your people ! " Sam told him smirking .Tyrion smiled as he watched these two quarrel over stupid subjects . " Highgarden is cold as shit and there's been no crops since it has started snowing . And the people , the fucking people , i don't know where they are , i don't think there are any fucking people there " Bronn scoffed as he answered to Sam .

" I think you both should stop now please . Lord Bronn of blackwater , oh no no it's Bronn of highgarden now isn't it ? Yeah stop you lot " interrupted Tyrion before they had another row .
" So what is it , why'd you come here at this time of the day , climbing all the stairs ? OH DON'T YOU TELL ME ABOUT RAVENS PLEASE , for fucks sake people come to me and all they talk about is ravens ! One went here and the other there , I'm not taking this shit anymore ! "

" But you have to ! You are the fucking hand of the king man !" Bronn shouted .

" Lord Tyrion this isn't about the ravens , well not completely , but there's a scroll for you from Meereen ! " Sam declared as he saw their facial expressions taking a change .

" From Meereen ? It was just yesterday that someone came up to me and said that THERES A FUCKING STORM IN BOTH THE NARROW AND SUMMER SEA !! HOW ON EARTH CAN A RAVEN FLY OVER A SEA , WELL OVER A FUCKING . STORMING . SEA ? "
Tyrion screamed , he was annoyed , shocked , and well annoyed again .

" I don't know , but it is from Meereen ! The sigil of the Dragons Bay and the paperwork is just the same as the one they use in Essos ! It is from Essos I'm sure of it ! Now to check if it is from Meereen , you have no other option but to break the seal and fucking read ! "

" I'm telling you dwarf , this is all a huge mockery , someone is playing around with ravens and making fools of you high Lords " bronn said as he stood up to leave the room .
" Well you guys have a chill time figuring out who fooled the high Lords I'll go get warm in my bed , the ladies must be waiting for me " smirking he left the room leaving Tyrion and Sam back alone to their discussions .

" Well ignoring him , lord Tyrion i insist you to open the scroll and read right now . If it's fake it will go right there in the fireplace behind you but if it's important ..... "

" Past few days , it dosen't feel right at all , the capital is heeling and almost everything is in its place , but still it doesn't feel right . Now there's a scroll from Meereen and the only person who can send it is .. is Daario . Daario Naharis . It could be the ravens of citadel , the news of Daenerys's murder must have spread everywhere in Essos by now . If he knows it , there are chances of another war . For fucks sake this shit is going to be important that's for sure but I don't know what consequences we might face from now on " his face grew pale , and he sat down facing the fireplace , his breath heavy and his face showing the concerns . " Hand it to me , let's see how it goes " he raised his hand and sam gave him the scroll . He held it with his trembling hands and broke open the seal . His eyes scanned the scroll , he was reading it as he his eyes shifted downwards along the handwritten text , it was written in the common tounge .

Tyrion took his time as Sam watched his face flashing all kinds of emotions , it definitely was a nasty news . He kept on reading as if it would never end . Sam took a seat on a wooden carved chair beside the same fireplace . When Tyrion was done he rolled the paper smoothly , his eyes fixed on the burning wood in the fireplace .

" So what was it ? What does this this Daario say ? " Sam asked him out of concern " lord Tyrion , i asked you ....." he asked again before Tyrion could gather his thoughts and answer

" DRAGONSTONE ! we need to take our armies to dragonstone as soon as possible "
Tyrion shouted jumping from his chair , as he aimed for the door .

" Where are you going ? Lord Tyrion ? It's pretty dark outside , and Dragonstone isn't visible at night " Sam shouted behind him .

" To the king ! He needs to know something before we all face our doom "
