Chapter Text
Lyanna Stark was suffering.
Yeah, that's right.
Lyanna had been reaping the consequences of her actions for the past 18 years.
Ever since she had tried to run off with Rhaegar and accidentally got her handmaid Bryn killed, she was beaten black and blue by Carla and nearly strangled to death, if not for Ned's intervention in saving her.
It turned out that Carla was her brother's bloody lover and not entirely human at all.
Her nephew born from Ned and Carla had his mother's potential and strengths as well as the ability to inherit her Titan powers.
Throughout the North, Ned and Carla had been the epitome of a tragic love story. How their son had to take his mother's name instead of the rightful Stark name he was owed.
How Lyanna was the monster who lost them a good lady of Winterfell and instead got them stuck with a fish bitch when Brandon died.
No one discussed Ned not being loyal to his wife and having another child on his former flame, or how he had another bastard from Ashara Dayne's womb at the same time like Eren was in Carla's.
No, Lyanna was the monster of the tragic love story. The Dragon's whore. The Starks' bane. The unworthy Stark. The bitch of the pack.
Name after name had driven her to sorrow. That is not counting the hate she earned from mothers of sons dead in war, who slapped her and spat on her.
Her saving graces were Jorah and Alyrra. Her husband and daughter who were the light of her life.
Jorah understood her and thought the rebellion wasn't her fault, that Rhaegar manipulated her and Aerys had to be overthrown anyway, and the North to be feared once more. Jorah comforted her not with flowery speeches, but without words, and she fell for him.
17 year old Alyrra was the light of her life. Lyanna was 16 when she had her. Her little girl made her want to live and be happy. She brought happiness to the Mormonts.
Her aunt in law Maege let her practice with a blade and even taught her the mace, and with time, the Bear islanders warmed up to her, especially when she fought against Ironborn in raids along with her daughter, cousin-in-laws, husband and Maege.
It was a great relief to everyone when her nephew and niece, Eren and Kasa destroyed the Iron islands and ended the reign of Ironborn terror.
It was refreshing to not be constantly fighting raiders.
Bear island really prospered.
But then, Jorah had to be called to the Wall to fight against an army of wildlings, leaving her 4 months pregnant, worried and praying for his safety.
-
Ned thought it would be easy to acquire the ships, but he didn't expect Kasa to hug a strange man near the Docks like he was her long lost family member.
To Ned's surprise and dread, he was her and Eren's adopted brother who she hadn't seen in years.
25 year old Renfri was nephew of Carla's best friend Bryn. Renfri's parents had died when he was young and his grandmother was surviving just by seeing his and her daughter's face. The woman died of grief the very moment she stared at her daughter's mutilated corpse, courtesy of Arthur Dayne. Renfri was adopted by Carla and left to make his own way in the world when he was 22.
Ned could never face the boy whenever he visited Carla. He would always remember his sister's crimes and see the life that was impacted because of it. It was one of the reasons why Mikasa stopped his visits.
Renfri had always glared at him hatefully...... and now he just stared at him coldly.
He could only imagine what he would do to Lyanna if he ever saw her.
Renfri was not only a pirate of his own crew, he was a pirate of a crew which was mostly made up of Northmen who were young war orphans from the rebellion and they all hated his guts, tolerating him only for Kasa's sake. Renfri had a fleet and he was contacted by Kasa when she sent a message through him by a Raven she had warged into. Ned was surprised to find out she was a warg.
" The dead, huh ? " Renfri asked as he steered the wheel of his ship, and was followed by his ships which contained the Essosi warriors.
Kasa had explained everything to him, and he was quick to believe her.
" This Jon Snow...... you trust him ? " Renfri asked, glancing warily at Ned who was offended on his son's behalf.
" In the beginning, he tried to kill me and Eren, but skip forward 2 months and he rammed into a wight to save Jeor Mormont's life and got scarred in the process..... so yeah, I do " Kasa said and Renfri raised an eyebrow, nodding.
" More Northern than a cowardly Southerner then..... or a fucking Stark " Renfri scowled.
" Excuse me ?!! " Ned growled.
Renfri ignored Ned.
" You have no right to insult my family !!! " Ned growled, but was slightly scared when his daughter glared at him.
" Your whore of a sister had no right to start a war, and make my aunt a first casualty either " Renfri bit back and Ned looked remorseful.
" Not all Starks are like that - "
" If it wasn't for Carla, Eren and Kasa would be stuck with those accursed bastard Snow names ...... because you didn't marry her either " Renfri glowered at Ned " which is why my opinion of your family will always be at an all time fucking low ".
" I like the Ackerman Yeager name, bro " Kasa said and Renfri genuinely smiled.
They suddenly heard a lightning crash on where Skagos was, and were surprised. Even more so, when they found a few ships moving towards it.
-
" Hey, less kissing and more digging " Eren reminded Jon who separated from Freya and both went back to mining as other people chuckled.
Eren, Jon and Freya along with Freya's villagers along with some of Skagos' inhabitants and miners from the Umber lands and mountain clans were stripping the cave of every bit of Dragonglass they could find.
Eren had just transformed to grab out some heavy glass and left his Titan form quickly.
Cannibal and Stormhound, the newly named silver Dragon were carrying Dragonglass to the carts outside the cave to be moved to forges and be manufactured into weapons.
" We got visitors, friend " Ramsay said. Ramsay Snow had also come to Skagos to assist Eren and Jon. When Jon find out he was Kasa's boyfriend, Jon was creeped out and glared at him, but Eren hit him in the head to stop his dramatics and he was adjusting to it.
Eren, Ramsay and Jon went out, and were surprised to see Ned, Kasa and Renfri along with a few other men who were staring in horror at the Dragon.
" It's cool, guys !. Cannibal and Stormhound are on our side " Jon placated them and they turned to him.
To prove the point, Eren caressed Cannibal's snout and Jon said " he can talk to them. Eren can understand what they are saying...... a side effect of him being a Warg and Titan shifter ".
" Long time, no see, brother. Where were you ? " Eren smirked at Renfri.
" Exactly what you have been doing, causing chaos " Renfri said and Eren laughed.
Renfri stepped forward to gaze at Jon " you're Jon Snow ".
" Yeah " Jon was surprised and Renfri turned to see a woman come out from the cave to behind him.
" Jon, what's the matter ? "
" Nothing, Freya " Jon said and Renfri could hear the love in their interaction.
Renfri smiled " your woman ? ".
" Yeah " Jon glared at Renfri, doubting his intentions.
" I grew up with the Yeagers " Renfri revealed and Jon was wide eyed as he recognized Renfri, the guy Kasa and Eren had told him about " nice to know the kids have another sibling ".
Jon smiled.
Kasa, meanwhile, ran to hug Ramsay with a squeal.
Ned glared at Ramsay and everyone was amused, as everyone forgot their fear of the Dragon.
" Lord Stark. Lord Rickard sent us here to collect Dragonglass weapons and help mine too " one of the men said.
" Yeah, I forgot to tell you. There's a mine of Dragonglass here. Cannibal and Stormhound can also create Dragonglass with their fire on rocks " Eren stated and surprised all newcomers.
" The Gods are finally favoring us " Ned said with relief.
" Kids ..... " the voice was familiar to Ned, Renfri and the kids and they turned around to look at Carla and Mikasa.
" MOM !!!!/AUNT CARLA !!/CARLA !! " a number of voices rang out as Carla's children and Renfri ran to hug her.
Carla hugged her children and then released them to glare at Ned " When I said you could take my kids, I didn't mean for months to pass before I would meet them ".
" Trust me, Carla. It was one thing after another, and another " Ned sighed.
" And where have you been ?! " Carla turned to Renfri " do you know how worried I have been ?!. Not even a letter ! ".
" Sorry, aunt Carla " Renfri apologized and she patted him on the shoulder happily before hugging him.
Carla broke it and turned to a nervous Jon " and you're Jon Snow, right ? ".
" Yes " Jon sighed with remorse " and I'm sorry for trying to kill your kids back at King's landing...... and what that swine I'm forced to call uncle did to your friend, and Renfri's aunt ".
There was a sudden horrifying silence as Eren and Kasa sent their brother panicking looks, while Ned looked on alert as he was ready to stop Carla from doing something extreme, as Renfri and Mikasa looked at Jon in concern.
To everyone's surprise, Carla touched Jon's shoulder and warmly said " you are not your uncle, you are you, and that scar on your face shows that the fool who attacked my children died in King's landing........ and I'm grateful my children have another sibling. I'm just sad they couldn't know you sooner ".
Everyone sighed in relief.
" Thank you " Jon genuinely said.
She then smiled at Freya and looked to the Dragons " can anyone tell me what's going on here ? ".
-
Gerold Dayne was not a good man.
He was by no means a honorable man either.
He had struggled since his childhood to earn recognition along with his siblings, like his father and grandfather had, his grandfather whose older brother was Lord Dayne. Struggle taught his family humility, and to respect everyone.
Gerold was always overshadowed by his cousins, the charming Roland Dayne, the Sword of the morning Arthur and the ethereally beautiful Ashara. Those 3 were fools, associating themselves with Targaryens of all people !.
They had forgotten what Dragons did to Dorne.
To top that up, fucking Arthur had helped in the dishonor of Elia by helping Rhaegar run away with that whore Lyanna.
And then he failed when a Titan Shifter revealed her existence and slaughtered the entire Kingsguard, castrated Rhaegar, and left Arthur alive to torture him because the fucking fool had killed her best friend. She also took Dawn, their ancestral weapon.
He was on the Battle of the Ruby Ford that day. He saw Carla Yeager turn into the flayed burning ginormous Titan, one of her more terrifying forms. She scorched most of the loyalist army with transformation alone.
Gerold was horrified when his fellow Dornish soldiers were also scorched and he retreated with Oberyn, saving his remaining men. Of the 10,000 Dornish spears that went, less than 600 men returned.
Gerold felt extreme guilt for leading those poor men to their deaths and decided to help the families of the dead soldiers by giving them jobs in his household and provide for their children. It did raise his popularity among the Dornish people.
Gerold would forever hate Arthur. Not for losing Dawn, but for destroying the lives of their own people because of his zeal to serve the Mad King junior.
" Ser Gerold " Rhaegar acknowledged him as the man had summoned him to his council chamber where only Aegon and Ser Barristan were present along with a few guards. Gerold hated being taken away from Dorne, and his wife and children.
" What do you want ? " Gerold irritably asked.
" Talk to your King with respect ! " Barristan Selmy barked.
" If he deserved respect, I would fucking give it to him " Darkstar sneered.
There was the loud roar of 2 Dragons that came from the outside, and Rhaegar smirked " Respect, or Dragonfire. I would choose my next words carefully if I were you, Ser Gerold ".
" Whatever you say..... Mad King Junior " Gerold sneered once more and Rhaegar growled.
" GUARDS, FEED HIM TO THE DRAGONS !!! "
A sneering Gerold spat at Rhaegar's face to cement his last disrespect, and laughed when he was taken away.
Aegon grit his teeth " that man has no fear of Dragons ?! ".
Barristan said in sadness " Ser Gerold is a hardened man, and has been through too much in his life to be scared by Dragons, your grace ".
" Our plan to attack The North requires Dornish support as well " Aegon said " we already have the Reachers supporting us, as well as the Lannisters. The Baratheons are an unknown factor, since they hate us and the Starks. Riverlanders and Valemen are a no go ".
" Not yet, my son " Rhaegar said " we have more cards at play...... Do you recall young Jon Sand ? ".
" The bastard ?! " Aegon was disgusted. The bastard was always better than him at sword fighting and Aegon hated him. He once beat the arsehole with a few of his friends.
" Rumor is that he calls himself Jon Snow nowadays, and has grown into a fine warrior in the North, earning their respect...... and do you recall the love affair between him and Daenerys ? "
Aegon sneered " and our aunt rejected the bastard ".
" Out of necessity " Rhaegar sadly sighed " just like mine and Lyanna's love story, doomed ".
" What does that have to do with anything ? " Aegon grit his teeth.
" he's still in love with her. Your aunt and grandmother will go North to parley atop the Dragons ....... and convince him to kill his siblings and family, being granted the Stark name and made Warden of the North " Rhaegar smiled.
-
" Titans, Direwolves, Dragons and now zombies. At least my life hasn't been boring " Mikasa shrugged as they all had sat around a campfire and were given explanations.
" Zombies ? " Ned questioned.
" What's we called the walking dead in my world. Of course, it was all fiction novels " Mikasa shrugged.
" I think zombie is a better name ! " Eren declared.
" I like it " Kasa agreed.
" Let me tell you a story from the time I was a cadet along with your grandfather " Mikasa smiled in amusement " there was a girl named Sasha. Our instructor Keith Shadis was going around taking our names and brutally insulting us to break our spirit and rebuild it into soldiers....... I couldn't believe that Sasha was eating a steamed Potato, and when asked why ?, she said it just sat there and she was eating it to give it shelter in her stomach !!!. When Shadis demanded why she was eating Potato at THAT time, Sasha asked 'are you asking me why people eat Potatoes, sir ?' ".
Most of them burst out laughing.
" She was so royally screwed, wasn't she ?! " Kasa asked between cackles.
" I remember that one from granddad's memories !. She offered Shadis half the Potato when it was a QUARTER !!!!....... and she was sent running around the area till Sunset ! " Eren laughed as did everyone else.
That's how they spent the night; telling stories and laughing with each other.
None of them noticed a grim faced Ramsay.
-
When Eren woke up, he walked around to open his eyes.
He was, however, surprised to see Kasa slapping Ramsay a bit far away and running off with tears in her eyes.
Eren came to Ramsay and asked " what the hell was that ?! ".
" I broke up with her " Ramsay admitted.
" You broke up - what the fuck ?!! " Eren hissed.
" You heard me right " Ramsay had shame on his face.
" Why did you do it ?!. You could never keep your hands off each other and now you break things up ? ".
" You know what I am, Eren. A psychopath. I have this urge to flay people I don't like. It's my accursed Bolton blood, and I am bringing out the worst in Kasa. If I have children with your sister tomorrow, how will they turn out ? " Ramsay asked with tears in his eyes " whenever I see my half-brother and father, I am overcome with this urge to take away everything from them and make it mine...... I told Kasa the same thing just now and you saw what happened. I have a monster inside me, but I can't make Kasa into one...... my darkness can't pass into your line ".
Eren was silent and hugged Ramsay " you will always be my friend, a true friend, and no one's gonna change that .......
" I have darkness in me too " Mikasa said as she stood near them, surprising them by revealing her presence as she looked at Ramsay with pity " I have been awake longer than my grandson....... Ramsay we all have darkness in us, along with the light. We have to accept both of them as parts of us, or we will never be at peace....... Eren Yeager, the love of my life and father of my child used his darkness to protect us while showing his light through his love for us. I saw your love for my granddaughter in your eyes like I had love for my own Eren....... You're not telling us something ".
Ramsay went silent " that so called father of mine...... he wants me to beget Kasa with child and give a boy for him to raise as a true Bolton ".
Mikasa felt fury " that's it, he's dead ! ".
" I will kill him and Domeric. Then I will kill myself, and end the Boltons for good " Ramsay said with finality.
" You will not kill yourself ! " Mikasa sternly said.
Before anything else could be said, there were roars of 2 more Dragons that rang throughout the sky, unfamiliar to them.
-
Rhaella and Daenerys were flying on their Dragons to locate the missing silver Dragon. Rhaegar and Balerion the second had smelled their missing brother to Skagos
They were surprised to find Eren Ackerman Yeager, a woman resembling Kasa Yeager, and a boy that made Daenerys skin crawl with his pale eyes alone.
Daenerys was surprised when they showed surprise, but no fear of her Dragons and asked coldly " My Dragon, where is he ? ".
" Away from you, clearly " the pale eyed boy sneered.
Daenerys narrowed her eyes.
" What the fuck is that noise ?. Shut the damn Dragons up, Eren ! " a voice interrupted with a yawn, and Daenerys turned to its owner in surprise.
Jon had to rub his eyes to see if he was seeing things clearly.
Daenerys couldn't believe her eyes either. Jon had grown much more handsomer since last time she saw him with more muscle, and a scar that made him even more attractive. She had Dragons now. They could be together again ! " Jon ....... it's good to see you once more ".
" What do you want ? " he asked in hostility, not at all fearful of the Dragons.
" You are talking to a Princess, Jon. Please mind your manners " Rhaella softly said, knowing about this boy's love for her daughter and the feeling being mutual from Daenerys.
" I have met a real Princess. Kasa Yeager has no title but her actions are that of a True Princess who protects her people and gives freedom to slaves " Jon growled.
Daenerys' eyes lit up in fury " you dare compare me with a monster ?!!......there is a chance for us to be together for real. Do not dare spurn me ! ".
" I found someone else " Jon bluntly said, and Daenerys felt her heart shatter to pieces.
" Jon ! " another voice took their attention and Jon looked at Freya in surprise along with the others.
" Freya, run ! " Eren screamed in alarm.
" Her ?!! " Daenerys growled. Jon was rejecting her for this plain looking bitch ?!!. She will pay ! " Balerion, Dracarys ! ".
" Daenerys, no !!! " Rhaella yelled.
Just before the Dragon unleashed torrent of flames on Freya as Jon screamed, the Dragon's right eye was slashed by Kasa's blade as she flew through the air with her ODM.
The Dragon breathed flames elsewhere as it screamed in agony !.
The flames were approaching a horrified Jon until he was pushed away by Ramsay who was consumed by the flames.
" RAMSAY, NO !!!! " Kasa screamed in anguish.
" YOU BITCH !!!! " Eren roared, until he had to dodge flames from Rhaella's Dragon.
" Daughter, RUN !!! " Rhaella yelled at the top of her lungs.
Balerion somehow managed to fly away with Daenerys and Rhaella followed, as others were awoken and by the screaming and came.
Crixus, Agron and others who were resting nearby also came.
They all saw Kasa crying at Ramsay's still alive but charred corpse.
" I ..... love ..... you " Ramsay wheezed.
" It was supposed to be me ...... " Jon fell to his knees as tears came to his eyes.
" No....... I did this ! " Freya cried.
" Gods....... " Ned was horrified.
" Funny....... eh....... Bolton bastard saving a Stark bastard ! " Ramsay laughed with his last breath.
Kasa cried harder when he went still forever in her arms.
