----- Chapter 26: The Siege, part 1. Joffrey eyed the huge, half empty underground storage cellar in mild shock as the Greatbeam by his side shuffled nervously. "…And the rest of the cellars?" Joffrey asked, his voice dangerously quiet. "They… ahh… Cellar three has a bit less than this, but Cellar seven is quite full" the Greatbeam said as he nodded again and again, sweat pouring down his neck. "… so… bit less than two full cellars then" Joffrey pondered out loud. "Yes General" confirmed the…-

Rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated. Seriously though, life has been... hectic since March, but better late than never right?! ------- Chapter 25: Together. "We're not going to make it" Sabu said as he drank from a small cup, taking care not to spill the precious water. "We will not give up" Joffrey said as if it were a law of nature, his pale green eye as hard as stone. He tried to grab his own cup but instead his stump just bumped it over the small crate. It landed on its side,…

AN: Another update on the Beyond (not Yi-Ti, this story has spent about a single chapter on Yi Ti actually), so those that have been suffering through those updates may want to skip this one too. I understand some are frustrated by the lack of Westeros, or by the 'change of pace'... know that I understand those concerns but this arc (and this update too) are pivotal moments for Joffrey's character development, and necessary for the progression of this story too. No point to keep posting about it, besides,…

Not sure about this one, but after catching a glimpse of author burnout I decided to just get this one out. Enjoy! ----- Chapter 23: The Expedition (Whisperers). -25 days since Expedition departure- "Just tell me damnit…" Joffrey whispered, hands on his command tent's table. "Sir!" The bloodied Half Sun had a bandage over his right eye and another one on his shoulder, both red. "We lost a total of 26 men, with another 5 wounded, 3 of which are not expected to survive the night… Regarding officers,…

Fresh from the ovens! Enjoy! -.PD.- Chapter 22: The Expedition (Searching) -15 days since departure- "Major Joffrey" muttered the officers under Joffrey's command as they stood up. "At ease gentlemen" Joffrey said as he closed the tent flap behind him. The six men sat back down as Joffrey rounded the inside of his command tent, finally getting at the 'head' of the imaginary table. His command tent, as with all the others of the Expedition, were but a far cry compared to Renly's Grand Pavilion. The…

Right, a small chapter to wet the appetite fuel the speculation. This one's dedicated to those posters who argued that the Legion was too competent for a chinese expy of an equivalent era. Enjoy! ---- -.PD.- Chapter 21: The Expedition (Departure) Joffrey blinked his eyes open as he smelled the worst thing that had ever had the misfortune of entering his nose. He immediately puked to his left, emptying his guts as he felt an arm shaking him from the right. "I'm okay Hound, I'm okay…" he muttered as…

Damnit, they're growing bigger again! Chapter 20: The Silver Lion. The Forts followed an ancient tradition. Sometimes, officers in the Legions were acclaimed by the troops they led after moments of great personal skill, valor, worthy feats or just political necessity if the rank was high enough and the man in question had not been 'named' yet. The troops gave the officer an animal name, sometimes accompanied by a color or an adjective, but always something that connected to the officer in question.…

Chapter 19: Beckons, Beyond. It seemed that the small town of Isti was but one of the many small port towns that were dotted all along the northern reaches of the Bleeding Marshes, the section of the Red River which bordered the Five Forts. Joffrey had been conscious when they disembarked; he had been carried on a stretcher by the Chief and Young Rennick, a witness to the massive traffic the port handled. Barges and river galleys of curious designs and strange trappings frequently arrived and departed,…

After the madness that was the last update, this chapter will be quite a bit smaller haha. For maximum effect I advise looping this track as you read the whole thing. (If you like listening to music while reading that is) Here's a link from an autolooper website if youtube fritzs out for whatever reason. Chapter 18: Conversations. "—the lion ripped his balls off haaaaaaand…. The boar did all the rest…" The Bard woodenly finished his song, and an awkward silence descended upon the throne room. The…

Ahh its finally done! Definitively got longer than I thought. Please Remember to Comment! ----- Chapter 17: Red and Black and Purple. He visited the Hightower's foundations ten more times, spent months studying the carving by day and having terrifying nightmares by night… and there was not a single extra clue. Not a single one. There was only the carving of a man or boy lost in what Whatever the answer was, one thing was clear. He shared, in some form he didn't know yet, a connection with the ones…
