TORN // GOT

It has been 25 years since Bran the Broken became King of the Six Kingdoms, or King of Westeros as southerners liked to call him much to the North's dismay.

18 years since the birth of Lyanna Targaryen, a girl with a family history she couldn't reverse, the last Targaryen alive.

15 years since King Bran let the smallfolk in Stormlands raise against Gendry Baratheon, claiming him the 'false lord of Storm's End' and losing their lives for it because the king of Westeros didn't care about re-legitimizing him as a Baratheon.

10 years since ships from Essos stopped bringing silks, jewelry, and other luxury items, just food, barely enough to sustain the kingdoms. King Bran said people should be grateful, they have food, they have houses and they have no wars anymore.

5 years since Sansa Stark realized that the shadow sitting on the Red Keep wasn't really her brother, it was a little more than someone, the Tree Eyed Raven that they so-happily named king was so inefficient at it, so carefree and so disinterested that people are migrating to North.

4 years since Essos put a blockade on the ships coming in and out of Westeros, wanting land and riches in exchange for basic necessities like food.

3 years since some of the houses, Greyjoys, Martells, and the Redwynes, took it upon themselves to fight off these 'Essossi scum'.

2 years since Daenerys Targaryen's dragon, Drogon, returned to Westeros after all these years and started breaking havoc by stealing animals, burning off farmers, and anyone who dared to come close.

And a year, since Bran the Broken declared that having a war with Essos wasn't his interest at all and that history would unsolve all the knots by time and patience.

People neither had the time nor the patience.

And Lyanna Targaryen decided to take the matter into her hands, by claiming Drogon and raining fire and blood over Essossi warriors.
