[Tywin Lannister POV]
Stannis was moving his entire army, or at least the majority of it toward my house, why and the how…was beyond me… I knew Stannis was stupid, but this was a new low even for him.
But it mattered very little, his move was stupid, and I would crush him down for it, and while we would lose some men this victory would be worth it, without Stannis on the game, I would be able to focus my entire self into erasing Ronard off the map.
This was the opening we needed to destroy Stannis, he had let himself wide open, and I would strike without hesitation, and if I had any luck, I would be able to absorb whatever Stannis leaves behind.
"Tell Jaime to be ready, we are marching home," I ordered my men, as I walked out of the war tent, wondering what brought this stupid move on Stannis part, I knew since the beginning he would lose… but not like this, something else was into play but what?

[Stannis Baratheon POV]
The crown, the Throne, the seven kingdoms, everything was finally within my grasp, that vision… the fire showed me a King, a brave king fighting against the others, a King that was loved, feared, and respected, and that King was me, finally I would get what was rightfully mine and bring Westeros to an era of Glory and peace.
Melisandre, my trusty advisor had showed me the will of the light, and I would obey, for I was the champion of the light, the paragon of Justice, I was the chosen one, and as the chosen one I had to obey my god, for he had blessed me with his pure magnificence.
And for me to bathe on that beautiful glory I saw on the fire all I would have to do was to end Ronard, with an army of five thousand men, just that. At first I thought Melisandre was trying to kill me, but I was a fool to trust the emissary of my lord, my beautiful lord… she was but a messenger and I had the audacity to strike her because I doubted her words… the words of my
God.
"We will win, because the light is with us!" I cried out with a smile on my face, because it was true, no matter how many soldiers they had… no matter how many walls they had, no matter how many allies they had, in the end it didn't matter, because they would fall, no man can stand against the will of a God, and I was the will of light incarnated in flesh and blood! "Do not fear! The light is with us!"
"My king…. I don't think… well….. I don't think this is the best idea…" Davos muttered in a barely audible tone.
"The will of the light is absolute… do not fear Onion Knight, the light will protect you," I said as I glared at him, "So stay silent and obey!"
"As… you wish my King," Davos bowed as he left my sight.
No matter how much my men thought I was crazy, it would be worth it…. soon… the world would be mine.

[Ser Davos Seaworth POV]
She finally did it, that crazy wretch led Stannis into her same level, at first was tolerable… she didn't do much… burning the monuments to the seven… that was fine… spreading the word of her religion… sure why not?! But then she decided to turn the crazy a few thousand notches above!... burning people! Kids!.... and here we are!
Marching to our imminent death… five thousand men against eight thousand men…. yeah the god of light was going to save us… he might as well burn us now and save Ronard the trouble of cutting our heads!
I suppose I should make peace with what is going to happen, I lived forty long years, more than many, I had many kids, I did many things, perhaps it was better to die here like a dog…
"The little lady will be sad… that's for sure," I muttered, that girl was so innocent, so naive, yet so smart, she even learned how to read better than me in less time, not that I read very well, but still, "Forty two years old is not that bad, at least I will be remembered… as an idiot…. but remembered nonetheless,"

[Joffrey Baratheon POV]
Ronard was at last here in Westeros, and it was finally the moment to show that worm who was the superior being, I would kill and destroy everything he held dear, his wife and children would be raped to death in front of him. Seeing him powerless would cement me as the most powerful king to have ever lived.
His tears, his pain, the screams of his family, they would all bring me endless hours of happiness, I just couldn't wait.
"Soon, soon for now you'll do," I laughed, as I decided to focus for the moment on what I was doing, skinning one of the maids alive, while she wasn't Ronard… her screams of pain everytime I broke some, or ripped something was… the best, "You should feel grateful a King seems your worthy of his time whore, no hold her down, I will take her left eye out,"
"Mpppph!!!!!" The maid tried to scream, her terror overtaking her, yes, this is what I wanted, seeing her face, her pain, her suffering, this was the absolute best!

[Bob the Raven POV]
I'm Gary, unlike the majority of my high brothers and sisters, I don't have a unique trait, I don't wear weird clothes, I don't talk weird and I am not a master chef, I just plain old boring Bob.
And while I might not have special abilities and or personality like some of my brothers and sisters, I would still do my absolute best to serve the Great cornbringer.
"Scream! Scream!" I could faintly hear Joffrey shouting with pleasure, deciding it was best to investigate, I flew to the source of the sound finding Joffrey with a skinning knife above…. oh god.
*Caw! For the love of Corn!.... well, it settled… inbreeding between humans is an atrocity against every natural law,* I cawed leaving the area, feeling sorry for the poor… thing under him, but soon that mutilated human would have the justice his or her mutilated body deserved, Ronard was that for everything Justice and Corn, not necessarily in that order.

[Daenerys POV]
Yunkai was ours, with every master head hanging on the wall of the city as a display of what happens when you try to oppose the might of the bears and the fury of the dragons.
"My Queen," Daario Naharis said as he knelt down, "There are reports of the other slaver cities preparing for you,"
"No matter how much you prepare for a natural disaster, when it hits there is nothing you can do," No matter how much they tried or prepared, they would fall.
"My Queen," Missandei said as she entered the throne room of Yunkai with Geralt on her arms, "The young prince has been asking for you for hours,"
"Maa-mah," Geralt babbled, extending his arms towards men eager to me on my arms.
"The Princess is sleeping," Missandei answered before I could even asked, she was definitely the best baby sitter I could ask for.
"You wanted to be with mommy?" I smiled, as I bombarded my sweet little bundle of joy, my treasure with kisses, "All right, you can be with mommy, how can I say not to that cute face,"
"—— is like switch…" Daario muttered.
"You said something?" I inquired with narrowed eyes.
*He did let me burn him!* Qrow flew towards him, he was now bigger than bear.
*Could you please stop trying to burn everything…* Rhaegar did the same but for some reason slapped his brother with his tail.
*Neltharion is out there with dad… while we stay here doing nothing! It's not fair! I want to burn things too!* Qrow hissed at his brother probably angry for the tail slap.
*I know, but focus that burning desire into other things, like training… or I don't know? Singing?* Rhaegal hissed back calmly.
"Burning desire…. was that a pun?....* Qrow narrowed his eyes at Rhaegal as he hissed.
*Maybe….* Rhaegal hissed one last time flying out of the room, with Qrow chasing him close behind.
*I will get you! Puns are stupid!*'
*Alright alright, that pun didn't tip the… SCALES in my favor…*
*Arggghhhh!!!!!!!!!*
*That was the last one I'm sorry!*
"Without Ronard I can only imagine what are they saying," I chuckled, wondering what were my two dragon babies fighting about.
*Alright alright, let's stop… I don't want this battle to DRAG-ON,*
*.....I will burn your balls!*
Maybe wisdom beyond human understanding, or maybe just a playful game between brothers, no one would ever know.
