Chapter 48: Reek II
"Who is this?" Lady Barbery Dustin demanded. "And where is the boy? Did your bastard refuse to surrender him?" She leaned forwards to inspect him closer. "And this old man-" Barbery recoiled. "Oh, gods be good! What in all the hells is that smell? Has the old wretch soiled...
Chapter 47: Victarion III
The night of Euron's demise, Victarion had done two things.
The first was to pull the Reader aside.
"What is it, Victarion?" the Reader had asked as he was led out of earshot of the other captains, sinking deeper and deeper into their revelry. Some captains had...
Chapter 46: Jaime V
The Lord of Riverrun looked better than when Jaime had last seen him, in spite the paleness of his complexion and the thinness of his frame. His hair had been properly cropped and washed clear of all the filth that had gathered during his time as a captive, his beard shorn...
Chapter 45: Turning the Page (Retcon)
The horn was bigger than I had expected.
Onyx-black and made from the bone of what must have been a truly enormous dragon; it was banded with Valyrian steel and red gold, studded with strange Valyrian glyphs that I had to remember to get the Grandmaester...
Chapter 44: Sansa III
Sansa could not help but flinch when the blade fell.
That Petyr would be executed had not been in doubt for days. His trial had been swift, and his conviction unanimous. Not even his supposed allies dared stand with him. His attempts at convincement fell on deaf ears. One...
Chapter 43: Jon V
Eastwatch or the Shadow Tower, Jon assumed, yet when he flipped it over the wax was gold rather than black. Stannis.
Jon cracked the seal and unfurled the parchment, casting his gaze over the script.
Stannis has taken Deepwood Motte. Though the Watch was sworn to take no...
Chapter 42: Arianne II
He's killing himself, Arianne thought.
The king sat at the head of the table, leaned back in his seat, leading the small council. His eyes were red, ringed with dark circles that spoke of lost sleep. Bruises covered one half of his face, hard-won on the training yard. He...
Chapter 41: Reek
He would not run. He could not run.
I will deliver my lord that castle, Reek resolved. I will. I must.
The ruins of Moat Cailin were visible at a distance, obscured by mist. His horse jostled between his legs, rubbing his thighs. Reek did not mind it. He observed himself...
Chapter 40: Victarion II
The Iron Victory swept forwards, her ram cutting clean through the choppy green waters. Oars slapped the sea. Salt sprayed his face.
And ahead, the horizon lay clear.
Victarion felt his fist clench around the handle of his axe. The Drowned God had not fashioned him...
Chapter 39: The Threads of Fate
Beneath a wave of pleasure a snowy waste presented itself.
With the gusts of snowy wind buffeting me from all sides came little sounds. Human sounds. Grunts and groans and moans and whimpers. Pain? Fear? Maybe. Probably. In dreamworld the details were always...
Chapter 38: Jon IV
In the granary were oats, wheat, barley, and barrels of coarse ground flower. In the root cellars lengths of onions and garlic and turnips and radishes dangled on strings from the rafters. Bags of carrots and spuds and barrels of corn lined the walls. On the shelves were...
Chapter 37: Cersei V
"Her saddle girth burst whilst she was riding," said Ser Balmar.
Lady Falyse looked like she was about to cry. "Mother's hip shattered in the fall. Maester Franken did all he could, but to no avail. So now all we can do is pray..."
Cersei plastered a sympathetic smile...
Chapter 36: Jaime IV
A horn cut through the cluttered air.
The riders were already dismounting when Jaime emerged from within his tent; the sounds of hooves and boots and armour mixing in with all the others noises of camp. It seemed to be a half-dozen knights, with two-dozen other men in...
Chapter 35: Sansa II
It took all the Lords of the Vale a little more than a few weeks to arrive.
That much made sense, at least. The roads between many of the keeps were narrow, and infested with hill tribes. Many of the lords arrived to the Eyrie itself with tales of repelled ambushes and...
Chapter 34: Davos II
"We'll make King's Landing within the hour," the captain announced.
Davos nodded, accepting the news with the grim certainty of a man facing the chopping block. He went to the rail on the edge of the deck of the ship and looked at the churning seas below. The bow of the...
