Chapter 6

283AC

Sack of Kings Landing

Loki POV

Its been a century since the Dance of the Dragons. After we aided Viserra in reaching Asgard with her children and dragons we went incognito.

Centuries later Westeros has mostly forgotten us now we are more like a myth. An inconsistency in their history. At 200 AC Malenia and I decided to go our own thing for now. That when the Long Night comes I should send her a message.

Since then she decided to conquer Mantarys and rules as their god queen. Though she completed covers her face behind a veil so they do not know how she looks like.

I decided to go back to Asgard and not get involved in westeros until the rebellion. During that time I made a spell that locks my body at the peak of this world's performance and allows enough magic to control ice slightly and change my appearance in exchange the longer I take to release the spell the more powerful I get exponentially when I do.

Its basically a binding vow.

One I intend to carry until after the long night.

Afterall after the Long Night I will leave this world I might as well finally create a very significant divergence from the main story and see how it plays out. Maybe even partake in it.

I kept my valyrian look and made a few alterations to my face to look like a battle torn veteran from the free cities. With two claw scars running down from the top of both my eyes to just a little below them. Raven black hair and bright red eyes with the Valyrian cheekbones. I set my height to 6'3 with my two valyrian steel blades.

Changed my name to Loki Antares and finally cane back to Westeros during 278 AC missing the defiance of duskendale by a year.

When I first arrived I decided to check up on what had changed during my time away. The only divergence was that The prince of dragonflies and Jenny of Oldstones survived Summerhall too. They now stay away from everyone because of their burn marks by living in a secluded manse in Oldstones.

I became a travelling hedge knight and earned the moniker 'Redstar' because of a skirmish I was in when I rescued a little girl called Ysilla Royce from bandits. It was said there wasn't a part of me that wasn't covered in blood which earned me the moniker.

I was eventually recruited by Princess Elia as her sworn shield in 279AC. I have to say she really is a gentle soul. Still cunning and can be a bit vindictive when she wants to though. Doesn't deserve what happens to her in the future. I guess I'll change that.

(P.S: There is a mental block he put in place that makes him forget his other magical abilities so don't expect him to pull it out on the fly until he leaves this world to go to the Marvel AU)

When the tourney of Harrenhall came around he joined the melee and won although Arthur Dayne didn't compete. Rhaegar won the joust and crowned Lyanna Stark as his queen of love and beauty.

The girl truly does look like a tall mature Arya Stark although she's about sixteen while Rhaegar is twenty four with two children. Bad vibes.

Elia didn't show it outside but when she was in private with Ashara and I she was incensed. Ash even offered to put laxatives in Rhaegar's wine. LOL. The girl is so chaotic I can see why Ned Stark has been drooling over her this entire tourney.

Months later, we got news that Lyanna Stark was missing. Last seen with Rhaegar. The country was at boiling point already but it was the deaths of the wardens of north and his heir that really set up the rebellion.

The Rebellion had begun.

At the time Elia and her kids were at Dragonstone. We found out Ashara was pregnant. Elia being considerate for her friend sent her away to Starfall with instructions she should not come back until the war was won.

I wish she knew.

Elia was recalled to the Red Keep. Now was a tense time so she sent me to deliver Ashara to Starfall.

During the journey we became close. We were already friends but that was through Elia. Now we knew each other. Our likes, dislikes and all. She even extracted a promise from to ensure Elia and her kids survival which I agreed to.

I also made her promise to power through the pregnancy and stay alive to take care of her kids.

The war was afoot the Arryns attacked the Graftons and defeated them before regrouping at Riverrun where they met with the Northmen being ked by Ned Stark.

Ned Stark married his brother's fiance Catelyn Tully while Jon Arryn married Lysa Tully firmly adding most of the Riverlands to their side.

During that time I came back and decided to join Jon Connington as he went to search for Robert Baratheon.

Robert had just defeated three armies in a day at Summerhall an unprecedented fear before being defeated and pushed back by Randll Tarly.

His army retreated and was camped at the Stony Sept. Jon Connington attacked the army but could not find Robert. Hours later he came sneaking out of a whore house to join the fray.

As the two armies clashed the royalists had a clear advantage and was pushing them. When it seemed we had won. The North and the Vale attacked. The battle was reignited. Jon Connington and Robert fought each other to a standstill, Ned Stark was cutting through our men to reach and aid Robert. Dagmar Ragnarrson and his men had launched themselves into our formation scattering our gameplan.

With everything going awry Jon Connington sounded a retreat. I lost count of how many men I killed. As the retreat was starting I caught sight of Denys Arryn and Hoster Tully.

I picked up a bow and arrow and shot at Hoster but luckily he moved but it hit his horse which collasped on him. Injuring him.

I then fought against Denys. He was good. We sliced and slashed at each other for a few seconds before I stabbed him in the shoulder.

He went to the ground in pain when I punched him and knocked him out. I put him on a horse and rode out. Capturing a valuable hostage: The current heir of the Vale.

We rode back to Kings Landing to regroup. I told Jon about Denys who was being treated by the maester. I recommended we leave him and other hostages at Duskendale so the Aerys does not have any funny ideas to burn all of them.

Jon agreed. We deposited a the northern, vale and stormland hostages at Duskendale and rode for Kings Landing.

Rumours had already started floating about me that I was a dancing storm in battle. Leaving death and agony in my wake. My valyrian steel blades were nicknamed the thirsty blades because of how much blood they drunk on the battlefield.

Jon was exiled by the King for failure and Chelstead was named hand of the king. Not that I care anymore. My business was with Elia and her kids. I resumed my job as her sworn shield and part time nanny. Lol.

A moon later the war had continued with the rebels decimating the royalists all way through the Riverlands pushing their way towards Kings Landing.

Its was then Rhaegar showed up in his infinite wisdom and took over the army. The remaining army was 13000 stromg. He acquired 6000 more men from House Gardner and 12000 men from the reserves of house Tyrell.

With 31000 men he marched down to the riverlands to receive 10000 dornish spears bolstering his army to 41000 while the rebels are estimated to have 26000 men left but no one will underestimate them after all they did. With that Rhaegar rode to the final battle at the Trident where they were awaiting him.

After Rhaegar left I instructed some maids to bring peasant clothes of different sizes. One for me, one for Elia, one for Rhaenys and extra baby wraps for Aegon.

I told Elia my plan for us to hightail it out of here if Rhaegar loses. I use that time to find the hidden passage in Maegor's holdfast amd explore the escape routes. One of them leads directly to a brothel in the streets of silk but it is easy to miss if you don't know what you're doing.That is the one we will be using. We will hide there for a few days and then escape. I killed the person that was in charge of it and installed one of the whores a girl named Chataya there. I promised gold enough to buy the brothel in her name after we were done and she agreed.

Weeks pass and news of the battle at the trident arrives. Rhaegar and Robert fought during ths war and Rhaegar died but not without taking an eye and cutting one of his arms so deep it can barely respond and is useless in battle.

The capital was in shock as the war was basically lost. A few days later (Today) Tywin Lannister arrived at the gates swearing he's here to aid the king in keeping the city. Original Aerys did not believe him but was convinced by the grandmaester. As Tywin entered the Sack of Kings Landing begun.

Elia changed herself amd Rhaenys to peasant clothes and we snuck into the hidden passage carrying her son.

Elia had been hyperventilating for weeks now because Aerys sent away his wife and son to Dragonstone while confining her to the Red Keep in a bout of madness.

We hid in the passage for the rest of the day while feeding Rhaenys and Aegon with the food I brought in a bag. The next morning we ventured into the brothel. We asked Chataya for any news she might have heard last night.

It seems the Lannisters faked our deaths (People seemed to really believe it. It seems Clegan can be cunning). They brought bodies that were mangled beyond repair and presented it to the king who called them Dragonspawns.

He and Ned Stark had a falling out before Stark left Kings Landing. We paid Chataya some more for her silence and asked her to arrange a boat for is to leave ro Dorne in two days. Which she happily accepted.

Now we can rest a tiny bit.
