Rightfully Mine // Ned Stark

133. Agree to disagree

Dany pressed a kiss to mormonts head as he lay dead. While sansa cried over theons dead body. The number of dead were endless it seemed but they were still alive. They still lived to fight another day.

'We are here to say goodbye to my brothers and sisters our fathers and mothers to our friends.' Jon declared 'our fellow men and women who set aside their differences together... together everyone in this world owes them a debt that will never be repaid. It is our duty and our honor to keep them alive in memory for those who come after us and those who come after them for as long as men draw breath they were the shield they guided the realms of men... And we shall never see their light again.' Everyone else stood silent paying respect to their fallen friends and family. A few men and women with torches stepped forward ready to set their friends a flame. Arya stepped forward and lit berics body aflame. What a way to go. After all his preching, him and thoros burned in the end.

It was a rather silent feast they had won but they had also lost so many.

'Have you seen arya?' Gendry asked

'You can still smell the burning bodies and that is where your head is at?' sandor questioned him.

'I just want to thank her-'

'oh im sure you do.' Sandor grumbled, but his eyes went to sasha she stood in the back with ned, he was running his hands over her face, examining the cuts along her cheek. She kissed him quickly. Sandor felt a pang of relief. Sasha deserved to be happy, he was glad that Ned stark made her happy.

'it's not about that-' gendry said

'Of course it's about that the dead or dead you're not.' Sandor reminded him. He got up to find arya but was stopped by the queen.

'Gendry... thats right isnt it?' dany asked

'Yes your grace' gendry said turning to her.

'Your Robert Baratheons son...' he nodded 'you realize he took my family's throne and tried to have me murdered right?'

'I did not know he was my father until after he was dead' gendry told her.

'Yes. He is dead. His brothers are too, so who is Lord of storms end now?' she questioned.

'I don't know your grace' gendry admitted he hadn't thought about it.

'Does anyone? I think you should be the lord of storms end.' Dany told him

'I can't be. Im a bastard' he told her

'No you are lord gendry baretheon the lawful son of Robert Baratheon because that is what I have made you,' she told him and he stood speechless

'To the Lord Gendry Baratheon of storms End' Davos said and everyone stood up raising a glass to him

'Fitting reward for a hero' Tyrion told her 'clever giving him that position.'

'See you're not the only one that's clever' Daenerys told him.

'you alright?' ned questioned seeing sasha face pinched as Dany declared Gendry, Gendry Baratheon the lord of storms end. Sandor got up taking fast paces to her, if he didn't think the dragons or dothraki or unsullied would kill him he would snap the targaryens neck to get sasha smile back but now she looked like a broken woman, losing everything she ever wanted. Slowly slipping through her fingers.

'I wanted to be the one to... I wanted to legitimize my brother.' Sasha said through a shaky breath. Her arms curled around herself. 'I'm no longer hungry.' She said stiffly turing to make a quick exit but dany calling her name stopped her in her track.
