4th Battle | VIDEO

[ Okay, you feeling lucky Asgard? Robb and Dany have decided to band together to encourage people to fight. Behind them, they have the banners of House Targaryen and House Stark fluttering in the background. There’s a direwolf and a baby dragon sitting on the background too, to add ~intimidation~. ]

If we may have the attention of this realm! I speak before you all to seek favor. The gods have sounded off a call to arms, and though we owe them no favors - think about what they had promised us. We are to return to our worlds if this war is won, are we not?

Then let us find a way to band together. To work against these giants so we can return home to those who are dear to us. Khaleesi and I are seasoned in war, and we can both claim that war is not won by men who do not work together. Victory is not something one man can claim. Those who wish it, let us find a way to assemble troops. There is strength in numbers.


[ And at his side, Dany watches, violet eyes shrewd on his face, features set in grim resolve. Overhead, a green dragon, small of size circles them, and on her shoulder is the red-eyed Drogon, of like stare.

She faces the screen when he finishes speaking. ]


People of this city, those who are trapped as we are, we do not ask you to throw your lives willingly into harm. If you feel you cannot fight this battle, whether by lack of strength or that you have never known the ways of war, no one has rights to stop you.

[ a pause ]

Yet if you would fight, you would not fight alone. For the homes you hold dear, and for those that await you in them, let that be what leads you to battle, not these gods and their words.

To those that may heal, myself among them, I would ask if we might arrange you around this city, so that you would be there when those have need of you--there will be need. In that I ask of where you all might be, so that we may be watchful of you.


[ and when dany finishes talking. ]

Put faith in us both as battle are not foreign to us. I am Robb Stark, King in the North and the Trident and I am determined to make sure this city will not fall. I will make sure we’re safe until every one of these creatures are without head and they know never to come back to Asgard again, let us let them know that winter is coming.

And I am Daenerys Stormborn of House Targaryen. The Unburnt, Mother of Dragons, Khaleesi of the Dothraki of Great Grass Sea, Breaker of Shackles, Queen of Mereen and rightful Queen of the Andals, the Rhoynar and the First Men. For the winter these giants bring, I would melt them with blood and fire.

You have a dragon. [ That is... Not. Okay. DRAGONS ARE BAD. ]

At such an age, they are far more hungry than they are wont to harm. You need not fear them harming you.

[personal profile] emblazing 2012-11-03 06:56 am (UTC)(link)
I am. They called to me from the flames of my husband's pyre. From sweat, grief and love came life after I thought there could only be death.

[ This woman is mad, perhaps. But what right does Mithian have to judge? Would she not feel mad after losing her own husband, if she were to have one?

Her lips press together.]
I am sorry for your loss.
emblazing: (♛i'm taking it slow feeding my flame)

[personal profile] emblazing 2012-11-03 09:25 am (UTC)(link)
[ not mad. not as they might think her to be. this woman doubts her words but so do many doubt that a targaryen even lives. ]

Your words are kind.

[ a pause ]
Yet even with such loss, there is no other option than to move forward, is there not?

[Arya can't help but feel a fire stirring inside her as she sees the banners of House Stark and House Targaryen side by side. She knows it's probably useless to say anything, knows that Robb will object most vehemently, but still.]

I want to help.
burping: (around ♛ listen)

[personal profile] burping 2012-11-03 05:23 pm (UTC)(link)
They were killed off. [ Look, she does see the direwolf.] Nor do we have wolves of such... size. That I know of.

[Oh he's ready. He's so ready. He's so much more ready than he thought he'd be, actually. He thought he'd shy away from it, that the memories of his past and the thoughts of his sister would keep him from fighting.

But he's ready to put his anger to good use.

He has a sword, it's not an exceptional one, but it's sharp, and he can use it.]


I am ready, but... I'm not sure where I'd be of the most use.

[ dany won't deny the strangeness of being on speaking terms with starks at all. there's still much and more to make of before she can consider trusting arya's brother, but for arya herself--well, that is an easier thing.

she can't help but smile a little at her boldness. ]


Is this what you've trained for, Arya Stark?
emblazing: (♛your childhood home)

[personal profile] emblazing 2012-11-04 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
[ there's a face she was wondering if she'd see. on his part he seems authentic enough in his words that dany does not find him distrustful. earnest, something she understands well. ]

It is hard to know where to find use in battle. I am no warrior, but a leader. Have you known battle before, Alastair?
secondborn: (did you really just say that)

[personal profile] secondborn 2012-11-04 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
[His brow furrows. After a slight hesitation, he responds.]

Not like this.

[He looks a little guilty about it. The last time he saw anything like this was when his city was stormed and his family murdered and he was only ten then, and was no help to anybody.

He's had ten years of running and anger and guilt to drive him, though. He might not be a warrior, but he's ready to fight.]

Yes, that is true. [ But she's still wary of those... DRAGONS. ] What do you mean to do with them?
emblazing: (♛to hear it again)

[personal profile] emblazing 2012-11-04 10:46 am (UTC)(link)
To do with them? For now, to see them grown. The time for their use will truly come when they are older.

( it's her banner that flies in this video, the sigil of house stark with its colours of white and gray. alayne had sewn it at robb's request, ignoring the ache in her heart at the remembrance that she had once called this banner her own. that it had been worn as a maiden's cloak draped over her shoulders, until it was replaced with lannister crimson. all of sansa's memories are still within her, and she can never get rid of them.

now, watching robb and his new ally prepare to go to war, alayne feels that events are moving in a direction that she has experienced before. and what an odd alliance it is, targaryen and stark. how strange it is that their banners would be flying together, when rhaegar targaryen had stolen lyanna stark for his own, when the mad king aerys had burned rickard stark alive.

they used to say that the young wolf couldn't be killed. alayne knows by now that the stranger waits for no one.

do you know what you are doing, robb? she almost doesn't want to be parted from him again, in case the fates of westeros follow them here. )


I will pray for your safe return.

Did they really say that we would get to return if we fight with them?

[ he might not be so averse to it if that's the case ]

There is a chance of that, yes. If we are to solve the plight of this land, if they are right in assuming it affects all our homes--then I would think it the surest course to take.

[personal profile] bitofajerk 2012-11-04 11:28 pm (UTC)(link)
How strong of a chance are we talking here? [ Would you trust it Dany? That's what he's essentially trying to ask without outright asking. ]
emblazing: (♛you want to go back)

video

[personal profile] emblazing 2012-11-04 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
A better chance than others, ser. I trust these gods little yet I would not make my home forfeit to these dangers by doing nothing. As it stands this is all we know now.

[ better to trust this, than do nothing. she isn't sure there's a better choice. it's the one she's taking now. ]
emblazing: (♛holy water)

[personal profile] emblazing 2012-11-05 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
[ to lead one battle is not the same as leading them all, dany thinks. to assume they are no different is to turn cold, callous towards lives sacrificed. she musn't forget that. ]

I have seen monsters of men, but no such beasts like this. It will be different for many of us. How do you fight?

[ she makes a fair enough of a point ]

Let's say someone takes this chance. What exactly is your plan for fighting those -- things?

Were you not given powers when you arrived? I would think they would be of use here. Not alone, but in numbers.

[ she glances at the black dragon on her shoulder. ]
My dragons are small but their flames can melt the cold well enough.
