Preview Chapter
In the preview chapter the POV character of Marcel Lovie II. is laying in the ruins of Frostmore while he discusses in his last minutes how the city fell, and what transpired to leave him broken and near death in some Arnor City. As he nears death he is found by Arthas Menathil who at first appears to help him, before stabbing him in the chest and then moving his forces onwards.


 * I lay broken on the ground, and the pain in my abdomen was more then I had ever felt before. I tried to get myself off the ground, but when I attempted to raise myself I realized my left arm wasn't there anymore. Feeling hopeless I slumped down more and for a moment I tried to imagine that this was how it would end. I turned my head to the right and saw several of the Valerians laying dead nearbye, and slumped against a wall to my right was Orton Vonder with a spear through his chest. Looking at the dead eyes of a man I had known for more years then I can count. The eyes of a man that had gaurded me since birth. It was more painful then I would have ever thought looking into his eyes would ever be. It was in that moment I knew it was all over. My eyes were just so heavy. Everything around me seemed to just quiet down as if it knew this was the end, and it wanted me to have peace in this place. As I closed my eyes I felt a force pull me upwards, and as I opened my eyes I saw Arthas Menathil and behind him several of his men. "Arthas...how did you get here..."


 * He looked at me perplexed for a moment before smiling a bit, before anwsering me. "The call went out that you were besieged here. I'm only sorry that we didn't arrive in time."


 * "Are any of my men still alive?" I had hoped that he would give me some kind of reprieve but as he anwsered there was just nothing in his eyes, and in my periferal vision I saw what appeared to me to be a man of Lorderon but his face was dead. He was a skeleton, and as I turned to look at the other men I saw now that their armor was ripped and they stood now as the dead. "What madness is this...Arthas what have you done?" He looked at me for a moment before simply dropping me to the ground and staring at the sky.


 * "This world is something that has always perplexed me young noble. People sway, and they move as if they have some kind of control over what happens. You came here thinking that this would go the way it always had for people such as you. You were wrong young Marcel, and now you pay the ultimate price for your mistakes. I'm going to burn the world to pieces. I'm going to tear down everything and leave this world a ruin. Goodbye young Marcel." And the moment he said my name he pulled a sword from his side and before I could say another word he stabbed the sword through my chest. God didn't give me the fortune to die in that moment and as the life faded from me he pulled himself closer to my face and stared me directly in the eye. I wanted to make him leave. I didn't want it to end this way, and I sqeaked out with what little strength I had left


 * "William help me..." He laughed at me before twisting the sword in me, and the moment he did a strange thing happened. It all just went away. The clouds seemed to part...the pain went away, and his face blurred into nothingness.

Chapter One
Leven Martell is the POV Character of Chapter One and she joins the meeting hosted with the Arch Lords and the Grand Lords of Lucerne where William discusses the collapsing situation in Arnor. Leven Martell and the rest of the Shadow Council at this point deals with the fact that at the same time this is happening they have not heard back from Edward of whom travelled into Lorderon on a search to find coruption in House Menathil, and they fear the worst.

I could feel the tension as William walked by me step for step with Jasper. Looking into the room I knew the men assembled were tense knowing what the conversation was about. Arnor was in flames, with the last news Will told me saying that the Valerians were attacking from the west, while in the east Arnor was being overwhelmed by the Empire. It had been several days since William had sent away Marcel, to meet with the quick forming forces he was able to raise. The main plan was for the Riverlands, and Lorderon to provide additional troops while he travelled east and northward towards Arnor.

William stepped behind the throne, and I saw him look around the room scanning for something. From the outside he had the look of a man utterly secure, and calm but I knew differently. His brow moved somewhat, and I could see from the way his hand gripped the chair he was worried. As he finally spotted me at the door he stopped scanning, and I gave him a smile which he didn't return with his mouth, but I could see it in his eyes. "I'm sorry to have gathered you all so quickly, but we have serious issues to discuss."

"If the rumors and stories are to be believed then Arnor may already be doomed." Bianca Swann spoke first, and her position was such that it always suprised me that she seemed so confident. Handed the position of representative on the council for House Swan she was tied through marriage into House Lovie, and that gave her clout beyond what basicalyl anyone else at the table could stand to have.

"We have to go under the belief Lady Swann that we can intervene succesfully." A cough arose from the table as Maester Vaeherhies let out one of his sickly coughing spouts and excused himself from the room.

"Your Grace is correct. No matter what the whispers are saying we cannot simply stand idle as the only wall between us and the Teutons is broken."

"Your forces are already marshallening to resist the Boltens, I don't see what more the Lannisters can offer Tywin."

"There are many that are not fighting in the breache and it seems obvious that the idle should be required to heavily send forces northward to releive Arnor."

'''"You would ask the king to ask recently conquered lands to send soldiers to fight in a conflict that most believe to be already lost?" '''

"These newcomers need understand that being a part of this land has responsiblities. For too long it has appeared that all that has changed for them is the ability to grow trade, and have us move in and protect them." It was still shocking to see Tywin speaking in such strong language of support for William, but I begin to realize that maybe losing everything that mattered to him had changed him. What once seemed to be a ruse, came to be for me more and more a version of the truth I just never would have thought possible.

"Speaking as one of the privaleged newcomers to this kingdom Lannister, I say that my soldiers are deployed all across the theater. I do not know of whom you speak when you speak of these lands that are leaching off the spoils of being apart of the Kingdom of Lucerne." Jamie Tully had the look of someone you could push around quite easily, but like the rumors had said he was growing up. Growing into himself he seemed confident despite his physical weakenesses, and that atleast gave promice for the future as one day he would rule over House Tully and by extension the Riverlands.

"Jamie I know that Tywin meant no offence by his comment. The Riverlands have been a loyal ally, and it saddens me that we would require so much blood from everyone. The truth though is that we have come to a dangerous place now, and if we do not react appropriatly then not only will Arnor fall, but we will be forced to prepare for war with The Empire."

"Fighting against the Empire is something we must avoid at all costs for the time. The King is right, we need to deploy our forces to Arnor." As Isilian Scarlet spoke up for William a knock at the door behind me moved me to see what would be so urgent as to interupt a council meeting.

I opened the door and looked into the scarred face of Hayden Percy of whom slightly obsured James Junnsworth, and Maester Boestal. "I'm sorry to interup milady but we have recieved word from Arnor." I stepped immediatly outside looking back in briefly and catching William's eye before I shut the door behind me.

"Maester what does the letter say?" James stood by the backdoor in with a man beside him of whom I had never seen before, but he carried the Dragon of House Lovie sigil so he must have been some recently knighted man of the house.

"The letter was sealed past what I am able to read as Maester of House Lovie."

"Then I shall read it before we send it inside to the King."

"Milady..." Percy stepped forward, and I knew what he wanted to say but I asked anyway.

"What is it Lord Percy?"

"This letter was sealed for the king, and he alone should read it." He went to reach for the letter, and his hand stopped when Maester Boestal put his hand out.

"The King has important business in that room, and if this letter says something that could turn the council against him then Leven need decide what we should do." No more decisions were needed with Maester Boestal standing up for my position, and so I went to the nearbye table and took out a knife from my side to open the letter. It donned on me that this was the kind of decision I had longed to be a part of, and yet here I was with my hands shaking.


 * King William Lovie, King of Lucerne, and third of his name.


 * The Valerians have sacked the west. The prince is dead. The Empire is flooding the west.


 * The crown prince led a large army to the west to resist the Valerians, but through trickery and the intervention of the dark gods he was killed, and now the west is gone. We have sent word to Marcel about these developments but we are not sure if he has heard. We run thin on Ravens as the Teutons are sending hawks southward and are preying on the ravens we do send.


 * Lady of House Hemsworth

Chapter Two
Domeric Bolten is the POV Character of Chapter Two and he travels to Hornwood to meet with Halys of whom warns him that the tides are turning and that Ramsey is gaining more and more influence at court.

During their time in the Dreadfort a giant meeting is held with all the Bolten lords, and Ramsey bullies the council into attacking the Divine Lands. As they leave Domeric and Josh Cole discuss the fact that the Coles are not willing to die for the madness of Ramsey, and Domeric begs Josh to trust that he can protect them all.

Father why would you have turned to his side in there." My father just stared at me with nothing there. I knew the leeches were draining him somewhat of his feelings, but I had never seen him this...this dead. He looked like a shell of himself. "I just don't understand father."

"Sometimes it isn't our place to understand why we are commanded to do things. Sometimes those below the top cannot see all things."

"What am I not seeing father."

"There are many things that a king sees, that his heir cannot. There are many visions that I know of that you can only grasp at."

"Ramsey is my blood father, but he has fallen into darkness. I cannot get him free of that. I cannot save him from himself."

"Of this I am painfully aware of."

"Then why give him the lead."

"Your just going to have to listen to him this time Domeric. Trust me when I say that I have a plan. I have a plan that gives us both everything we ever wanted. All you need to do is listen to Ramsey for a period of time."

"He will lead our men to the slaughter."

"Lord Domeric that appears to be your task then."

"What do you mean Lord Karstark?"

"I mean that you must protect the army from his version of war."

Chapter Three
Hermione Granger is the POV Character of Chapter Three and during this chapter she arrives in Fornost where she meets with Chris Hemsworth of whom knows the location of the Dagger of Lost Souls and for this reason she needed him to try and find it. Chris told her that he would give her the scroll showiing its location but before he could do this he needed her help in dealing with the forces of Chaos that were attacking western Arnor under the banner of Valeria. Hermione with no choice would follow the Arnor army into the west and she would witness the destruction the Valerians did on western Arnor, and she would during this time attempt to make Chris see reason and turn back, but he wouldn't and she would just barely escape the massacre of the Arnor army and make her way into the besieged city of Loust. She would be captured, but was met by a Dark Magi in the service of Keven Zegars in the form of Kieth Schwartz of whom told Keven that she was a member of the Circle of Magi and could be trusted. Saving her life the two would talk, and Kieth told her that he did this because Bill had told him that she was worthy of protection, and it was his best friends final command to him.

Çhapter Four
Lucie Lovie is the POV Character of Chapter Four and she details through her eyes the Invasion of Arnor by The Empire, and the arrival of Marcel Lovie into the capital. During this chapter the backstory of Arnor, and many of the Arnor characters are further flushed out. Lucie Lovie bonds briefly with Marcel Lovie II. of whom she confides in that she is in fact the daughter of William Lovie III., and Marcel promices her that when he leaves Arnor he will take her with him if she wishes and have her see her father.

Chapter Five
Edward Cullen is the POV Character of Chapter Five and during this chapter we learn the consequences of his search in Lorderon. Edward, Hilary, and Gemma make their way back from the caves they had been trapped inside, and reach their destinating finding themselves back in Lorderon and Edward and the group would enter to a city in termoil. The city was fighting itself as the cultists left behind by Arthas were very well organzied and were operating like they were royalists trying to restart the Kingdom of Lorderon of which was a very popular idea for the people of Lorderon. Working alongside the remaining Menathils of whom liked the way things were now they would unite the Lucernian forces in the city, from there would call for assistence from the Scarlets that were nearbye, as well as the Kul Tiras forces of whom were also nearbye. During the end of the chapter Edward finally is able to get one of the Magi stones of which was brought by the Kirin Tor, and using this he tells William about Arthas's betrayal. Ordered to make Talia Menathil the new lord of the grand state of Lorderon he does this but during the crowning of her near the end of the ceremony the site is attacked by cultists and a large fight breaks out in the area.

"William there can be no doubt that Arthas has turned against us." He looked down, and I felt terrible, as both of us knew what this meant for Marcel. What little chance he had of defending Arnor was based on the army that Arthas said he was capable of bringing north, and if that army wasn't going to arrive then it all might be for nothing.

"This is terrifying news Edward as we know he has already disapeared from out eyes, and for all we know could already be inside Arnor. If he is there we know that Marcel is there, and I fear for what will happen." It was always unerving to hear William speak with anything other then confidence. His face moved from the vision and I knew he must be speaking to someone else. It was unfortunate that the only Magi stone that I was able to find was a one on one stone. This sort of conversation would have been much easier with a room stone.

"William we need to immediatly send word to your cousin that Arthas is under no cercumstances to be trusted."

"I will send word right now Edward." William left the vision, and I looked to my right to see that Imlad had entered the room, and he looked with wide eyes as he saw the means by which we were communicating.

"Its good to see you prince Imlad." He was wearing his eagle armor, and he looked everything that he should of, but his eyes told me a story about the fear he was feeling.

"You still have the presence of mind for titles in a time like this Edward?"

"When I was young my father told me that manners were important. I can't forget that lesson even while we are potentially surrounded by enemies and have a looming disaster in the north."

"The things our father's tell us when we are young." I would have laughed normally but the silence that followed made me shiver. It was minute after minute of this as we awaited the return of William, and I wanted him to come back to give me repreieve from the fear that filled the room.

"Do you recall anything about this cult before we learned of Arthas?" I had only learned of them a few months ago, and from the way Medivh spoke of them they must have been something that was talked of.

"The Cult was something that had started to enter the frame of reality some time before we learned of Arthas's true face. The cult had abducted people, and burned buildings but for all intensive purposes it was little worse then a roaving band of criminals, and thus we didn't say much." As he finished William reentered the vision.

"I have made the neccesary message sent, but I fear that the Order of the Blue Dragon representative that was with Marcel has apparently been killed, and we don't know what is happening at this time."

"We don't know anything bad has happened yet. We just need to keep our ears out Will."

 * Lord Jon Snow,


 * This letter finds things much as they were my friend. The Wildlings have suffered a major defeat since we last talked as they attacked the wall but we were reinforced by the Stor men, and the Wildlings were pushed away with minimal difficulty. Following the defeat I met with Mance Rayder and I warned him not to attack again, but I did tell him that the Day Watch to the north is much less vigilient, and I know of your plans to perhaps take the Days Watch.


 * Mance agreed with me that it was death for his people to stay in the Frostfangs, and because of this he is going to round up as many of the Wildlings as he can and prepare for your coming in the north. If you are going to do what you said then understand there is not much time. The White Walkers will kill everyone inside the Frostfangs and understand that you many not have three months before this come to pass.


 * Perhaps one day I shall write to you with better news, but I do not see this coming to pass anytime soon. Ygitte wished you well, and she looked in good spirits. I'm sorry Jon.


 * Lord Commander of the Nights Watch


 * Jeor Mormont

Arriving at Lorderon he meets with a large army of Kul Tiras, and the Riverlands of whom met at the southern edge of Lorderon city as it was besieged from within by the Chaotic Cult of Arthas.

Chapter Ten

Domeric will from this moment forward feign illness, and use his cousin Jordin Bolten to cover for him as he takes on a helmet and shield and joins the forces of House Hornwood. Not even Daryn knows his identity but he stays nearbye Daryn and listens in as he falls in love with Corina Banner. As Daryn turned on House Urnet Domeric did nothing, and helped Daryn during the fighting that took place when Daryn didn't kill the Lord of Jeutenburg and turned completely on House Urnet. Leaving after this he would quickly make by horse to the outskirts of Koenisburg of which he reached hours before they were to meet with the Lucernians. Domeric learned from Jordin that Ramsey had spent two days stopped south of Jeutenburg hunting several women, and then spent another day torching several villages, and had failed to continue the momentum of the Jeutenburg attack.

Arriving on the outskirts days before Saiden and the others are prepared to assault the walls she and Emmett infiltrate the city and make their way to the keep where they meet with the Menathils that all remained loyal to Lucerne and are able to lead the defence of the keep as the cultists attempt to assault the walls. Driving their leadership back the cultists are then assaulted from behind by the invading Scarlet, and Riverlands forces of whom shatter the cultists driving them to the death and ending the threat to Lorderon.

I opened the letter and was still haunted by the name Arthas that adorned the front of it. I looked around and saw the looks of fear on everyone else over what could possibly be in the letter, and how he had known with such acurasy when we had cleared the city.


 * Lord Edward Cullen,


 * I am both shocked and excited by the prospects of your defeat of my cult. Created with hate, and violence it makes me proud that they have destroyed so much of Lorderon, and left you weakened. My commander Ras Frostwhisper tells me you managed to defeat Kael, and while I say that is a disapointment know that the dragon I have killed yesterday will make your kingdom quickly forget this victory you have achieved.


 * Know that you will find his body in Fornost, and know that I made him hurt before he died. Tell your king that he sent him to die, and this is exactly what I did for him.


 * One last gift for the King of the Valley.


 * In closing I wish for you the best. I hope you die swift, and quick deaths for you have defeated an oponent that should have lived forever. Know this though Lord Cullen, your time will come sooner then you could ever imagine. I have seen the future and you and your darkness council shall know death in your ranks very soon. You have longed to be a part of them, and you shall never be further away then you are right now.


 * Arthas Menathil


 * King of the Dead

Chapter Twelve
Hedrik Clegane III. is the POV Character of this chapter and during this chapter he alongside the other commanders in Koenisburg deal with the sacking of the Divine Lands by the forces of Bolten, and towards the end of the chapter deal with the confrontation with Ramsey Bolten.

I marched out onto the field, and I could see that Bolten's were already there waiting for us. Seeing the red flags of their gaurds blowing in the wind made me almost uncontiously grip my horse's reigns tighter. I looked around for a moment and saw Tyrion riding just behind me on his little pony followed closely by his squire Podrick Payne. Alittle to his left was Britt Lancave who looked like an angel riding in her white armor with nothing but her servent girl with her. I turned back and looked to my right for a moment to see Hedrik Clegane and his cousin Fredrick who looked ever piece the image of nobility. I tried to feel strong in that moment. Surrounded by so much nobility it was never more clear to me what my place was. Before I could spend another moment isolated in my mind we reached the Boltens and I followed Hedrik's suit and got off my horse.

Walkign towards them I got my first glance of the Boltens. As they walked forward I knew which one was Ramsey almost immediately by the Pink Flayed Man that adorned the brestplate he wore. If not for that there was a near aura of sheer evil that flowed from him, and seemed to mix with the air. I'd seen lots of evil men in my day. From Maron Scorpian, to Dan Scott you thought you knew it but, this man was something else. Beside him stood another man with a flayed man on his breast place, and he looked the polar opposite of Ramsey. This man had a look of elegance to him. From the regal look of his armor, to the kindness in his eyes I was confused as to why this man did not lead them.

"So the mighty Kingdom of Lucerne has so little going for it that all it can send is a bastard, a dwarf, a girl, and a child?" It was exactly the kind of a greeting I would expect from someone like him. A man with two wolves on his breastplate laughed behind him and more looked ready to laugh until Domeric stepped forward.

"This is a peaceful meeting there is no reason for this to go into hostilities." His armor was still red, but when the moment after Domeric stepped forward I knew almost immediatly that my first impression of him was right and he was something beyond his cruel brother.

"You burn a city to the ground that was protected by our realm and you speak of forgoing hostilities? I believe your house lost the right to speak of honor long ago but atleast let us speak with honesty for a moment." Tyrion was always the firebrand, and as he told me once, you had to be your own flag bearer when you had a weakeness as obvious as ours. I still remembered back to the first time we had talked and he had told me about what being a bastard really meant and I couldn't help but still feel a bond to him.

"Juetenburg is gone. That conversation is over. The only conversation to be had now is how long before we burn Koenisburg to the ground." Ramsey clearly wasn't one for tactics, and from the looks many in the party were giving eachother they wished he was reacting differently. Only a few amongst them still looked ready to fully support Ramsey while you could see the looks of hope towards Domeric.

"Behind these walls stand an army larger then your own, with more arriving each day. Koenisburg will not burn, and unless you leave your entire force will be destroyed."Britt Lancave spoke and I felt admiration for the strength of this girl. She wore the armor of a warrior, and the way she held herself left little doubt as to how confident and proud she was. She was something to be admired, and everything since the first time I met her told me that.

"There is no point in lying Ser Britt of House Lancave. We know that the city is practicly empty. Any attempts to reach Koenisburg would have taken weeks. Weeks you did not have." It was such a constrast hearing Domeric Bolten speaking that you could barely accept they were brothers.

"There are faster routes then land if you want to get somewhere Lord Bolten."After I said Lord Bolten to Domeric I knew I had stepped on a nerve of Ramsey as he practicly went red from anger.

"The Bastard of Stormwind wishes us to believe that the Frey's allowed you to pass. The Frey's are if nothing else reliable. Reliable to do nothing. Helping you would have been something, and that Bastard isn't something they would do." The man had a massive beard and the sun on his breastplate made me know immediately what house this man was from. A Karstark. The ancient betrayers of my family was standing in front of me. He held some of the looks of my family despite the long years seperated by the Rhine River, and I guess that made the historical betrayal more painful didn't it.

"Believe what you want. The truth is that there are thousands of Lucernian forces behind that wall, and unless." Tyrion breifly looked at Ramsey Bolten before contining."the bastard of the Dreadfort wishes to lose his entire army, he had best think carefully." The fume returned to his face as he was clearly not used to this kind of abuse and didn't like it one bit.

"I'm truly sorry but where I come from the freaks and women didn't speak for our houses. So unless your ready for the terms of your surrender I don't see why this should continue." Ramsey turned his back to us, and started walking back to his horse followed by several of the men who clearly were following him.

"Turn and run that is all your good for isn't it. No wonder you are such a disapointment to everyone in your land. We have had quite the laugh at how pathetic you are." Hedrik Clegane wasn't usually one for such dramatics but even he I guess had enough of Roose Bolten's bastard. The moment after he said the words though Ramsey let go of the horse, and walked back towards us followed closely by Domeric. I don't know what any of us expected but it wasn't him pulling a knife from his side, and lunging at Hedrik. As he jumped though it was Domeric that pushed him to the ground where he slammed hard against the ground before quickly getting to his feet and looking at Domeric with more hate in his eyes then I had ever seen. Ramsey would spit in Domeric's face before he stomped his way back to his horse and rode away followed by everyone but Domeric. Domeric leaned against the side of his horse and sighed.

"I don't know what I expected from this, but it wasn't this." He sounded tired, and I wasn't suprised when Britt stepped forward and rested a hand on his shoulder.

"This isn't on you. We all know who you are, and this would be the moment you should come with us brother." Her voice was caring, and held every ounce of truth that I know she felt about it, but even her kindness wasn't going to fix what was wrong.

"I'm not your brother. You just saw the only blood brother I have in this world."

"We are all the children of Glaurung and that includes you Domeric."

"I wish all of you the best. Tommarow we shall all die I suppose." With that there was nothing else to say and he mounted his horse and rode back to the Bolten lines.

Emmett returns after killing Michael Faraday and Alice confronts him on the affair, and Blake walks in during this and attacks Rosalie for her failure to produce a child for Emmett, and Alice is shocked when Emmett doesn't come to her defence.
