Chapter 28: 26: The Tenth Region of Westeros Part 1
A/N:
You'll hate me for this finale and will have to decide whether or not it's the Finale itself or the fact I'll be taking a break from Barthogan before getting into bed with Cregan. See thing is I'm down with a pinched Nerve AND a Blood Infection. Plus I have to get some rewriting done on my Arryn and Baratheon Stories.
Now right now I've been playing a game that has dual-enspired me, one to continue A Hyūga Prodigy, and the second to rewrite Black Storm of Baratheon. Keep an eye out for when the Name of Black Storm of Baratheon shifts to Ghost of Baratheon. That'll be the cue to watch with greater interest.
Arryn Story wise I plan to rewrite it to fit my current theme of Thrones Writing.
Anyway before you Guys judge me at the finale with your questions, understand it's character development, but for Cregan, Steffon, Cassana, and Josephine more than anyone else. That's all I'm willing to say for now.
Alright, Author's Note fuck off!! Story time!!!!

(Cassandra Blackstark POV)
----------------------‐------------------
Contrary to what her husband believed, Cassandra was NOT in King's Landing. She was overseeing the Stepstones Campaign herself directly. Stood aboard her personal Flagship, The Man'o'War Steffon's Thunder, which was the sister ship to Barthogan's own Flagship Lyanna's Lament, Cassandra was overseeing the campaign aboard the monstrosity herself.
She was pregnant but her mind as sharp as ever. She wanted to have this wrapped up before the Parley at Dragonstone was ended. Barthogan would worry about her, as he often did. A sweet sentiment but she hardly needed.
While she led the Sea assault Robert lead the Shoreline Assault. Grey Gallows had already fallen to them, leaving Bloodstone as the last major Stronghold to capture for an all but assured and total victory.
Admittedly the Golden Company had provided no small and insignificant amount of trouble for her. Sending Lomgships in with muffled oars to blow up their ships at nightly anchor.
Cassandra was grateful they hadn't tried it on her ship, Barthogan would unleash a vengeance upon them that would make the Dragon's Wroth look like children's prank by comparison. When he learned she went at the Trident pregnant he was livid. If they killed her and his unborn child, he would burn the Stepstones to naught but scattered Ashes and shattered Bone. Although it would be interesting to watch all the rats scurry trying to whore their daughters, sisters, and family on her Barth from the Seven Heavens to say the least.
It'd almost be worth it just to watch it, but the downside was not holding her children again or watching them grow up...

(POV Shift: Myles Toyne)
----------------------‐------------------
The campaign wasn't going well. Their contract technically died with Kjng Aerys, but they needed Gold to consider it paid and done. Now Myles Toyne was hearing that The Targaryens had surrendered and given up the War.
Trouble was, Toyne couldn't sail back to Essos without a Sack of Gold or a Pound of Stark Flesh. Seems he had to settle for the latter. Unfortunate, he had to respect Blackstark, the man was a genius to take the Reach from the Royalists equation so quickly.
Toyne decided that if he and his boys were gonna die, it'd be on their own terms. And it would be bloody indeed....
''Strickland, rally the Throat Cutters, we're taking down the Head Bitch if it's the last thing we do.'' Toyne bellows to the young and talented paymaster.....

(POV Shift: Cassandra Blackstark)
----------------------‐------------------
Cassandra laid in bed, aboard Steffon's Thunder it was almost fully silent save for the waves and creaking of the Boat. It was equal parts maddening and soothing.
She missed the touch of Barthogan, his hands pawing at her tits as they copulated. The thought would have aroused her enough to touch herself were it not for the sound of a Blade being unsheathed.
Cassandra had a variety of options, she kept a dagger under her pillow, she could scream, she could leap up and face her attacker head on.
But she did none of this.
''Golden Company right?'' Cassandra Said.
''Indeed Your Grace, Call it a parting Farewell.'' Says a weathered voice. Turning over she saw a crew of Assassins led by who she could only guess was the Golden Companies Captain General.
''May I dress? I do not wish to die in my nightgown.'' Cassandra asks.
''Aye, Jones, throw up a curtain so she may dress privately.'' The Leader orders and Assassin does as instructed.
''I'm pregnant you know? A few months. All I ask is you don't kill the Child first. A Mother should never have to outlive her children. Even her unborn children.'' Cassandra Says.
''A Dagger to the heart it is then.'' The Leader decides.
''Thank you. Alright I'm Done.'' Cassandra Says.
''Jones.'' At his Captain's words the Assassin lowers the curtain and gets a Dagger in the throat.
''It ain't gonna be easy.'' Cassandra warns in a light mocking tone.....

(POV Shift: Barthogan Blackstark)
----------------------‐------------------
Barthogan and his fleet arrived authentic sun was rising and he was stood there with one thought.
''What in the Fuck is Cassandra doing here?'' He asks aloud.
That Question never gets answered because the Ship explodes five seconds later.
Barthogan stands there numbly, his heart hammering in his chest, and he screams with rage.
''We...Burn...Them...All.'' Barthogan growls out his entire body shaking with pure unbridled and unadulterated rage.
The Lord's dare not refuse him, he just lost his beloved wife and Queen.....
----------------------‐------------------
(POV Shift: Cassandra Blackstark)
----------------------‐------------------
Was this the end for her? To die by drowning? Oh Barthogan she was sorry for making him worry so much.....
