Chapter 6 - The Griffin Reborn

 Kinglanding

News of the great Northern Army Gathered in Winterfell had now reached the Capital the Lions and the roses had known war would come for moons Oberyn had returned to Dorne for an Important meeting. The small council chamber was not short of members though.

'What news do you have on the North Varis' Olenna asked

'My spies say over 30 000 men have gathered in Winterfell' Varis left out giants for he too found them hard to believe in.

'I must say the North is impressive even after losing so many men they can raise such a large number' Mace said

'You mean Jon Snow is Impressive most of that Number is the White wolf army' Tywin corrected

'It will take some time for the Northerners to make it South' Queen Margaery spoke up. She and Tommen were married but their marriage was unconsummated given Tommen's very young age.

'What of my uncle Stannis' young Tommen asked

'Stannis has been seen in Winterfell it would seems he's thrown his lot with Snow, but I do not know what their arrangement is' Varis finished

'So, Snow has Stannis and his men too' Margaery asked

'It would seem so'

'A meagre force Stannis is not the threat here,' said Varis

'What of our progress' Tywin asked

'My grandson Garlan has gathered 80 000 men in high garden, they should be marching for the capital by now' Olenna replied

'Good my brother has raised 42 000 men' Tywin said

'So, we have more numbers' Margaery spoke

'Yes, there's nothing to worry about' Cersie spoke 'this bastard is a fool just like his brother' she finished

'His brother who never lost a battle, I do not think there'll be another wedding to deal with this wolf' Olenna said

'We have more men mother we will surely win' Mace spoke up

'What of the Vale with Lysa dead they could come out to play' Olenna asked

'My birds have reported the presence of Sansa Stark, Peter Baelish and Lord Royce in Winterfell' Varis

'That treasonous whore' Cersie blurted out

'Yes, it would seem that Baelish was the one who helped Sansa escape, now he holds regency in the Vale' Varis said

'What News of these sell swords in the Stormlands' asked Tywin

'My birds report that the golden company has landed'

'Golden Company who are they working for 'Tywin asked

'I don't know' Varis lied he knew exactly who they were supporting. He had sent Illyrio the news of Jon Snow.

'My latest birds report that they have taken storms end' Varis said

'Storms end how? Olenna asked

'It doesn't matter how Tywin said, they are another treat that needs to be dealt with'

'We'll wait for our Armies to get here before making any decisions' he finished

'Seems we have more than one enemy'

 

Mid 300 AC

StormsEnd

The news of Jon Snow had ultimately been the deciding factor for young Griff or Aegon Targaryen, it had emboldened him to come to Westeros and fight instead of going to the Daenerys like beggar. With Jon Snow coming South and Hopeful that the Martel's would rise for him he came to Westeros

Traitors amongst the men at Storms Ends had opened the gates allowing the 10 000 strong golden company to takes Storms End. Days had pass and the Red Viper of Dorne was arriving in Storms End after Doran had asked him to Verify if Aegon was truly Elia's son and weather he had come back with dragons.

Jon Snows appearance had truly lit the game of thrones as Dorne had also called their banners and waited for a raven from Oberyn. The Dornish entered the courtyard and met with Aegon Targaryen who was truly the son of Elia and not a pretender or a Blackfyre. 

He was now sitting in his chamber writing a raven for Doran to send troops to Storms End via the Prince's Pass. Oberyn was convinced that this was his sister's son, and he was right, During the sack Varis was able to swap Aegon and Rhaenys with children he found in the capital and sneaked them out of the Red keep before the city was sacked, Elia was too recognisable and was impossible to swap.

Aegon was taken to Essos as he had he's fathers' hair and eyes with a little tanned colour skin of his mother. Rhaenys was taken to Dorne and raised as one of Oberyn's bastards, she remembers being sneaked out of kingslanding with her baby brother.

'Nephew I'm sending a raven to Doran its best we wait till Dorne gets here' Oberyn said

'Yes uncle, what about my sister will she be coming' Aegon asked

'I don't know Aegon Doran will decide I guess, but Rha is one of the sand snakes she's a warrior, she'll probably come' Oberyn finished

'What news on the North' Oberyn asked

'We have sent a raven to Winterfell' Connington responded

'Are we sure Jon Snow will Bow to me' Aegon asked

'I don't know, I know nothing of Jon Snow, no one does' Oberyn responded

'It seems Stannis and Snow have some kind of alliance, weather or not he's already supporting Stannis we cannot Know

'We will just have to hold till Daenerys gets back to Westeros as planned, hopefully we can bring Snow to our side' Aegon said

'We have sent letters of declaration to all the lords of Westeros' Connington said

 

Dorne 

Doran sat on the battlements overlooking the 20 000 Donish spears he was able to raise. He was reading the raven sent by his brother.

'Father what does uncles letter say' Arianne asked

'Is it really my brother' Rhaenys asked

'What about the dragons' Elia sand asked one of Oberyns Bastards

'The letter says that Daenerys is still in Meereen' Doran responded

'So, the are no dragons' Elia Sand said while Disappointed

'No the is not mention of dragons' Doran responded, all of them were disappointed, they were really finding their existence hard to believe now

'But Oberyn Believes its Aegon, The North is marching South with a great host they won't march South again this is our only chance to get revenge for my sister' Doran finished

'Do we know if Jon Snow will bend the knee, will he even support us' Arianne asked

'Ned Starks bastard, we know nothing about him' Rha said

'It doesn't matter Arianna you will lead the Dornish spears to Oberyn, Quintyn will come back with Daenerys' He finished not knowing that Quintyn had been burned to death by Rhaegal one of Daenerys's dragons.

'Yes father' Arianne replied

2 days later the Donnish Army made for their way to Storms End
