The Redfish (Chapter 25)

Schemes and plots

Sansa POV

The tourney was beginning, at last. It was the only thing I could not wait for anymore. Finally, I have a break from master Syrio. If only my uncle didn’t force me to go to these lessons, even my father couldn’t say anything when uncle spoke about these lessons. No matter how much I begged, my father wouldn’t change his mind, and uncle Edmure wouldn’t let it happen. Mother wasn’t any help either. No matter how many times I wr...

A lion, a wolf, and an eagle

Tyrion POV

Looking back, I saw the Wall getting smaller and smaller with every step my horse took. It is fascinating how such a structure can hide over the horizon. It would be nice to stay there if not that damn cold and snow. Even when the sun was up high in the sky, the northern wind will always remind me that I am down here, on the ground.

It was a relief when I saw the Last Hearth. The keep was old and ragged, but it stood ...

Dance

Edmure POV

One step back, two steps forward. Arya moved like a cat but still could not touch master fencer Syrio Forel. He moved more than just gracefully. He moved with calculated precision, knowing how big of a step to take before his opponent could even start to move.

After Arya got beaten enough, it was Sansa’s time. It was harder for Sansa to get into fencing than it was for Arya. It showed how much both tried. Syrio liked to trick her, telling Sansa that he wou...

The Redfish (Chapter 22)

The stink

Edmure POV

It was the stink of shit that greeted us first. As we rode through the streets of King’s Landing, I saw many faces. Desperate ones were most common, from children to old men begging on the streets for coins and food. But those were the most visible ones. The ones in the dark alleys, with faces of snakes, were the ones I was concerned about most.

Even gold cloaks didn’t worry me much right now. I knew they wouldn’t do anything, and...

The Redfish (Chapter 21)

North of the North

Tyrion POV

It was a dark night. The wolves in the Wolfwood howled while the direwolf stayed silent. It fascinates me how quiet the white wolf can be. Even while eating, the wolf doesn’t make any sound. It amazes me how such a beast can exist. Even if it scares me how it would be the last thing I never heard before, it killed me.

Well, the boy did reassure me that it wouldn’t hurt me. Still, I would like to die to this wolf than to thi...

The Redfish (Chapter 20)

The road to the South

Eddard POV

It was an hour before dawn when I was shaken awake by Alyn. Stumbling at the morning chill, still groggy from the sleep, to find a saddled horse and King on another one. Robert was wearing a hood that covered his ears, a heavy fur cloak, and thick gloves. If I didn’t know better, I would have thought it was a bear sitting on the horse.

“Up, Stark, up,” Robert calls me. “We have matters of state to discuss.”

Lion and wolf

Jon POV

The feast to welcome the King was in process. The hall was filled with people. As more ale and wine flowed from one table to another, the louder it became. Even singers got drowned by the laughter of the King.

King Robert was a disappointment. Hearing stories about the demon of the Trident and then seeing him in person was very disappointing. He was fat, with a beard covering his many chins, but he was loud. His voice boomed, and his l...

The Redfish (Chapter 18)

So it begins

Edmure POV

The day was beautiful without any clouds covering the sun. It was warm but not hot. It was nice until our house steward came to me to inform me of Jon Arryns passing. Souring my mood immediately. My father was too ill to do anything but stay in bed.

“Call Maester Vyman to my solar,” I ordered the steward.

Taking one last look at the sky, I went to my solar. I need to go to the North before the king arrives. Ned and I have t...

To the North

298 AL

Jon POV

It was the start of a new year. I, as always, was training with the master-at-arms while ser Patrek was gone somewhere, gods know where. It was hard to hate ser Patrek, even if there were many reasons why I would. I got an opportunity to squire for the heir of Seagard, and ser Patrek didn’t begrudge me for being a bastard. But in the last five years, I could count on my fingers how many times he taught me something. 2021-08-25 06:49:38 +0000 UTC View Post

Dreams

Edmure POV

The river water was lovely to swim in. As the heat of the summer was beating on me, the cool water was refreshing. The current was relatively weak today and no strong wind blowing. The sky was clear without any cloud near, letting the sunshine upon me. But somehow, everything felt weird, like I was missing something.

It was lonely that what was wrong, I was alone. It was some time I felt like that. Travels with Patrek, making new friends p...

The Redfish (Chapter 15)

The fall of the Freys

Edmure POV

It worked better than expected. Black Walder has run back to the Twins first, even leaving his family's bodies. Well, he needs to dispose of his opposition before something happens. Emmon Frey went to Westerlands, calling for support to bring Black Walder to justice. Everything was going according to my plan. I just need to watch how the Freys act for now. They don’t realize it yet, but it was already the end for both of them. 2021-08-18 08:26:17 +0000 UTC View Post

The Redfish (Chapter 14)

The end of the tourney

Tyrion POV

It was the third day of the tourney, yesterday the joust has ended with ser Barristan winning. Lord Yohn Royce took second place. Today was supposed to be melee, but with the death of three Freys, no one knew what will happen next.

Lord Hoster Tully has left for Riverrun because he has gotten sick. It was remarkable how ser Edmure Tully kept his calm. Talking to his guest and assuring everyone that the tourney will continue...

Ghosts of Harrenhal

Edmure POV

It was few days until the tourney starts. Everything was prepared, the rooms for guests, the grounds of the tourney, and so on. Looking through one of the glass windows of the Tower of Ghosts, I saw many banners. My own houses Trout, Stark’s Direwolf, Martell’s spear piercing the red sun. There are many other banners, but Frey’s Twin Towers and Lannister’s Lion were crucial to me.

Harrenhal was in all his glory after g...

The Redfish (Chapter 12)

An invitation

Eddard POV

It was another day here at Winterfell. The sun shone brightly on the courtyard, where Robb and Jon were sparing with each other. Maester Luwin came with Catelyn on his heels, bringing a letter to me.

“My lord, a letter from Riverrun,” Maester Luwin tells me before he hands the letter.

“Do you know what it says, my lady?” I ask, after reading.

“It is an invitation,” She replies. “Edmure has invited us to joi...

Years past

293 AL

Edmure POV

Time has passed, attending meetings with father, learning from maester Vyman, and teaching my squire Samwell. Days became weeks, weeks turned months, and then finally years. Nothing of most import has happened.

Well, things did change. With the demand for clear glass growing, the Dorne needed more soda-ash, or how people called it here, snow-ash. At first, it was hard to reproduce the heat required to produce it, ...

The Redfish (Chapter 10)

New friends and plans

Samwell POV

After few days of staying at the Harrenhall, Ser Edmure ordered us to prepare to leave. He was a strange man, he didn’t order me around, ser Edmure prepared his own horse, he put his own armor.

He would do some exercises every morning, never missing it. But he didn’t look like a great warrior. He was a lean, clean man. As he would wash himself every opportunity, he got, but his hands were hard.

He has told me that...

Harrenhall

Edmure POV

After leaving Highgarden, our next destination was King’s Landing. I needed to meet with Lord Jon Arryn, the hand of the King. It was on the way traveling on the Roseroad, as I didn’t want to go through Westerlands.

It was a quick ride. There were no problems along the road, the weather was nice, without any rain. The road itself was well maintained. We only stopped at the inns for rest and didn’t stay for long at any castle. Eve...

The Redfish (Chapter 8)

Squire

Edmure POV

As the first day of the tourney started, I checked on my equipment first and then went to have a light meal. The joust will begin tomorrow and last two days, while the archery competition will end at the tourney. After done my preparation, I joined Patrek at the table to have a light meal.

“We should talk about what happened at Skyreach,” Patrek says to me with a concerned expression.

“I was too paranoid. It was my mistake,” I reply to Patrek....

19 years after Roger’s execution

William POV

As the sun sets, I look at the grave of the old man who took care of me. He taught me everything I would need to live in this world. From fighting to reading, from sailing to demeanor, for twelve years he took care of me.

The old man helped me, he didn’t have to take care of five years old kid. A kid, who was trying to steal from him, a kid who was alone in the world. He was a pirat...

Tourney at Highgarden

Edmure POV

In the coming weeks, I have spent in the Sunspear, I and prince Doran have agreed that in three years I will marry princess Arianne, as she turns seven and ten, and become her prince consort. To avoid any problems with the inheritance it was decided that our first son will inherit Riverrun from me and the first daughter or the second son will be heir to Dorne and take the name of Nymeros Martell.

Prince Oberyn still didn’t like me much, but...

The Redfish (chapter 6)

The talk

Edmure POV

After prince Oberyn left, the first thing I did what check on Patrek to see if he is fine. I found him in the brothel with a woman in the bed. He looks at me surprised when I ordered the woman to leave.

“What are you doing?” Patrek asked confused.

“Change of the plan,” I reply to him. “I want you to gather all the men, I am leaving alone to water gardens.”

“What? It’s way too dangerous to leave alone.” He says to me.

Journey to Sunspear

290 AL

Edmure POV

Our first stop was at the Inn of the Kneeling Man, it was always full of travelers and merchants alike. Our group was the biggest one among them, so it wasn’t a surprise when we garnered a lot of attention.

Ordering for ale and meat for us, we found a place to sit. Patrek was already flirting with a waitress. I was ordering the matron to prepare supplies we will need, before we reach Ruby Ford, and resupply at Darry’s.

Back home

290 AL

Edmure POV

After traveling through Riverlands, I and Patrek reached the Riverrun, passing through the gates, we were welcomed by my father, master-at-arms, and maester.

“Welcome home, son.” My father, Hoster Tully welcomed me with a hug and after checking if I was fine, led me inside.

“Father, this is ser Patrek Mallister, a friend of mine.” I introduced Patrek.

“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Lord Tully.” Patrek greets my fathe...

Road back home

289 Al

Edmure POV

Gotten back to Seagard, we were welcomed as heroes, Patrek was boasting about his feats to everyone he met. I, on the other hand, was quieter, still thinking about what I have done, looking at the red Valyrian sword, I thought how easily I had become an animal. I did what I had to survive, I told myself, but still, even now I felt the taste of blood in my mouth.

Looking forward is what I must do, my plan has started, I can’t ...

Barristan POV

Six years, it was six years since the last war, since the last rebellion, and now a new rebellion has risen, a new war started. The last war ended with Kings Landing sack by Lannisters, and now a new started by Lannisport sack by Greyjoys, oh the irony.

The Lannisters were pissed to say at least, I never liked them to begin with, so it didn’t bother me much, even when the Queen demanded justice.

The King decided to ...

Edmure POV

At the Seagard, I have served as a squire to Lord Jason Mallister, who has accepted me in his household with open arms. Lord Jason is an honorable and courteous man, never have he raised his voice at me, he was a good teacher too, taught me how to joust, how to sail, and many other things. His son Patrek was a couple of years older than me, and way too different, he isn’t as half as courteous or honorable as his father, he likes t...

Prologue

284 AL

Edmure POV

Waking up as a ten years old boy, wasn’t something that I thought would happen to me, at first I couldn’t understand what was going on. Thinking it was just a dream, was probably my defensive mechanism, but after weeks of living in another body, I had to acknowledge that if it was a dream, I wouldn’t wake up anymore.

Memories of the boy of ten years old and memories of my past life were jumbled up in one massive mess, my head just hurt ...
