It was a bright and early morning at the Twins, Walder Frey was sitting down in his high chair fixing his breakfast for the day while glancing around at his hall which was still bloody from the events that took place the night before. " A wedding, bedding, and mascara of a king in one night " Walder mused.
A smirk formed on the old Lord's at the current events that had happened. The young wolf was dead along with his bitch mother.
For years, he had kissed up to Tully's boots swearing secrets, oaths, and vows to them. House Tully was no more anymore, they were wiped off this earth forever.
Lord Tywin would pay him handmonsley for his services and provide him with piles of wealth. House Frey was already in favor of the crown.
King Joffrey had written to the old lord thanking him for his services and offered an invitation to The Freys to his royal wedding to Lady Margaery Tyrell.
" The Blackfish escaped, " A voice said in front of him.
Lord Frey glanced up and saw Lord Bolton standing in front of him, clearing his throat, he replied. " An old man on the run with no allies.
" I have Tywin Lannister backing me, " He added. " Who does he have?
Roose started at Lord Walder nodding at him. " " As you say."
It became silent for a few moments until Lord Walder spoke up again. " They all laughed at me, all those high lords. They all thought they were better than me.
" Ned Stark, Hoster Tully, " He said. " People snigger when I marry a young girl, but who said a word when Jon Arryn married the little Tully bitch?
Lord Bolton stared at Lord Frey in amusement thinking how pathetic he was, but didn't let it show it on his face. " You'll be needing a new young girl.
Walder smirked at that thinking of new flesh to take in his bed. " Yeah, got that to look forward to.".
" And you, the Warden of the North, " He said, gesturing to Lord Bolton. " No more Starks to bow and scrape to. "Must have been torture following that stupid boy all over the country.
" He ignored my advice at every turn, " Roose said. " If he'd been a trifle less arrogant... Calling himself the Young Wolf.
" How's that for pomposity? " Walder smirked.
Lord Frey raised his glass howling out sarcastically. " Well, here's to the Young Wolf!
" Forever young, " Roose said, laughing.
" Will you move to Winterfell now that the war's over? " Walder asked, curiosity glancing at Lord Bolton.
Lord Bolton nodded and said. " At some point perhaps, but Winterfell is in ruins.
" And, I still have to figure out a plan on how to deal with the young wolf's cousin." He added.
" The Ice Dragon, " Walder said, scoffing. " What of her, she's in exile and has nothing.
Lord Bolton shook his head wishing that was true, but the girl was becoming more powerful with each passing day. She had an army of 36,000 men, a powerful navy fleet, and the worst of dragons, six of them.
He knew his power in the north would be short-lived if she were to return to WesterosNorth had no chance of winning against dragons.
Roose cleared his throat before speaking once more. " Well, my sources tell me she has gained an army that consists of 36,000, has a powerful navy fleet, and six dragons that grow by the day."
Lord Frey's eyes enlarged in surprise at what he was hearing. " She has dragons."
"Yes, she does, " Roose said, signing.
" Well, my friend, if this is true your power over the north will not hold for long, " Walder said. " She will come after you, one day."
" I know, " Lord Bolton said. " I will prepare for her arrival."
Ice and Fire would soon come back to Westeros and destroy everything in its path. For the world of Westeros would burn and freeze.

A certain lioness was sitting in her chambers lost in her thoughts looking through her box of objects, she grabbed a white item from the box staring at it.
Not noticing her chamber doors had opened and a man entered the room. " Cersei," the man said.
Cersei turned around and saw her golden twin brother Jaime standing in front of her in daylight. Her eyes enlarged in surprise at seeing him.
She looked him up and down disgusted at how filthy he looked. But, was more disgusted at seeing his arm in a cast.
What had happened to her golden twin? How did he become so dull?
The lioness got up from her chair and made her way over to her brother, wanting to see him at a closer angle.
A smile formed on the golden lion's face thinking she would embrace and accept him back. He wanted nothing more than to hold her in his arms again and go back to the way things were.
Much to his shock, she stepped back from him staring at him with disgust in her eyes. " How dare you show up to my quarter smelling like that, go freshen yourself up."
Jaime glanced at his sister in confusion wondering why she was turning him down. He had thought she would be happy to see him.
He reached out to grab her hand but she dodged him, backing away. " Something has changed."
Cersei looked at her brother scoffing at him. " Of course, everything has changed. " You fell in love with that ice wolf whore and now you come back with one hand; how did you think I would take it.
" You look old brother, I will send the grand master to your chambers " She added, with that she brushed past him and walked out of the room leaving the golden lion consumed in his wallow.

Elaena woke up feeling a pang in her chest sensing something was wrong. She tried to ignore it going on with the rest of her day as normally as she did.
She shook her thoughts away and got ready for the day, praying that everything went well.
Elaena, Daenerys, Jorah, Samara, Ser Barristan, Cadal, Daniselle, Missandei, Andros, Darrio Naharis, and Naresella marched to the gates of Yunkai, followed by the Unsullied, Ghiscari, Dothraki, the Second sons, Crystal, and the eight dragons flying in the skies.
The gates of Yunkai emerged before them, massive and foreboding. The armies following them were silent as death, creating a sense of tension that was heavily surrounded in the air. The dragons above circled ominously, their scalp dancing in the sunlight. The air was stiff and filled with anticipation.
Elaena's heart pounded in her chest, matching the rhythm of the marching feet around her. Beside her, Daenerys stood tall and determined, her eyes fixed on the gates. Jorah, Samara, Ser Barristan, Cadal, Daniselle, Missandei, Andros, Darrio Naharis, and Naresella too bore bold expressions on their faces.
The young ice dragon's heart began to beat rhythmically, as did the footsteps of those around her. Standing beside her was Daenerys, her face impassive and her eyes fixed upon the gates. Behind her were their companions ,Jorah and Samara,, Ser Barristean, Cadal, , Darriho and Daniselle in tow, and Missandei and Andros among them. The faces of the guards on the walls were equally as awe-struck, as if they had never seen such a powerful force before.
Elaena took a deep breath and motioned the march to stop, then stepped forward and addressed the guards.
"We ask that you open the gates and surrender to us," she said, her words echoing in the stillness, "we do not wish to see any more bloodshed. Let us choose peace."
A moment of silence followed, and Elaena stepped back. The dragon's call to them seemed to linger, a challenge that had not been answered.
Much to her surprise, the guards dropped their swords to the ground which landed in front of her.
" What are they doing, " Daenerys asked, glancing over at her niece.
" I believe they are surrendering, your grace " Ser Barristean answered.
Elaena and Daenerys stood on top of a rock along with the rest of their companions waiting for the people to come out through the gates.
" You think they'll come, " Daenerys asked.
" They will, " Elaena replied.
" They will when they're ready, your grace " Ser Barristean said, reassuring his queen.
" Perhaps they didn't want to be conquered " Daenerys said, signing.
" You and Elaena here didn't conquer them, " Ser Joah replied. " You liberated them.
" People learn to love their chains, " Daenerys commented.
" We aren't like our ancestors, " Elaena said. " We will build a new tradition for House Targaryen and Stark."
Daenerys glanced over at her niece smiling and said. " Yes, we shall."
The city gate opened,hundreds of people began to walk out, their faces filled with a combination of fear and curiosity. Elaena and Daenerys stood tall on the rock, their presence serving as a beacon of hope and strength. Their companions beside them their expressions filled with curiosity.
Missandei stepped forward, cleared her throat and spoke. " This is Daenerys Targaryen, the Stormborn, the Unburnt, the Queen of the Six Kingdoms of Westeros, the mother of dragons. And, her niece Elaena Icefyre, the Ice Dragon, the Ishildur, the Queen of North, Lady of Winterfell and mother of dragons. " It is them you owe your freedom to.
Daenerys lay her hand softly on Missandei's arms and said. " No, it's okay."
The young ice dragon cleared her throat stepping forward and spoke. ""People of Yunkai," she began, her voice carrying across the crowd. "We have come not as conquerors, but as liberators. We have no desire to spill blood nor to enslave. We seek cooperation and peace."
Daenerys cleared her throat and spoke in a loud tone. " You must stand up for yourselves and take your freedom back for yourselves, each of you."
" Only you can take it back, you must decide what you want, " she added.
A few moments of silence passed by until one of the slaves reached out to touch Elaena and Daenerys yelling out " Mysha." More people joined in harmony. " Mysha."
Thousands more joined in repeating " Mhysa! Mhysa! Mhysa!
Daenerys looked at the people confused wondering what they were saying. "What does it mean?
" It is old Ghiscari, Khaleesi...It means " Misseandei was about to say, but Samara cut her off.
"Mother," Samara said, smiling, causing Elaena, Daenerys and Missandei to turn to her."
Tears welled in Elaena's eyes upon hearing the people accepted them.
The people began to gather close towards the two dragons, the Unsullied and Ghiscari pointed their spears out at them warning them not to get close, causing the dragons to screech.
Elaena raised a hand signaling for her Ghiscari to stand down. " It's okay, they're fine."
Daenerys told her Unsullied the same and said. " It's all right. These people won't hurt us.
"Mysha! "
" Mysha! "
" Mysha! "
Elaena and Daenerys step down from the rock, petting their dragons and commanding them to fly. The dragons took off to the skies flying around the people.
They made their way into the crowd, and many people begin to touch them still yelling out " Mysha."
Suddenly, they lifted the two dragons up in the air shouting " Mysha." The two dragons smiled at the sight touching the people embracing them as one of them.
Crystal trailed down from the rock following after her mistress, howling out softly.
Elaena and Daenerys glanced at one another smiling, glad to finally be accepted and wanted by people who wanted their help. For so long, the two have been treated differently because of what they were.
But, now they finally had their place which was right here with these people. They would continue with their mission of freeing people to bring order and peace to Essos with Fire and Ice they would be victorious.
