Chapter 19: Planning A Battle!


I think I already know the answer to this question, but would you all want to see a Smut scene in the story, or do you want me to keep it as it is? Let me know!

=========================

The ship carrying Kenway to White Harbor docked with permission from the Manderly's permission, if only they knew the ship is carrying the true Lord of the North, Kenway stepped out the cabin, his armour carefully concealed in a bag, his sword on his waist and bag now on his bag.

Kenway: Thank you. House Stark will remember this.

Kenway said to Varys as they stood on the deck of the ship, Varys gave him a small bow again before handing him what looked to be a cape, Kenway dropped the bag with his armour taking it from the wise bald man.

Varys: You may be loved here but you also have you're enemies. Best to keep yourself hidden until the right time.

Kenway could see that, White Harbor is being ruled by a family that are pissed at his, so walking through their streets without cover doesn't seem to be the best idea, Kenway put it on covering himself before taking his sack back over his shoulder, one last thank you and bye, Kenway walked off the ship, stepping onto Northern land for the first time in a long time, it made him feel more himself, so he set out to the meeting place he wrote on the note, Jon should understand it and meet him where he needed to be.

Kenway had to sneak his way past most of the civilians in White Harbor, he nearly got noticed once or twice but since their under the impression he's dead, they ignored it, allowing Kenway to get out the port city and to where he was to be met with his brother, instead Kenway saw Duncan and Elise standing by the tree, Kenway and Elise had been to White Harbor a few times in their younger years so she knew where he was talking about, Kenway took down the hood as he stepped towards them, Shah, his horse and their horses with them, the one he really cared about, the Dire Wolf much larger then when he left.

Kenway gave out a loud whistle making Midnight turn to him, she howled in his direction catching the two knight's attention, they both turned to him, Elise with an over joyed smile, Duncan just looked like a stunned goldfish, Kenway dropped his bag as Midnight ran at him tackling him to the floor, Duncan and Elise jogged over to them, leaving the horses and supply's by the meeting point.

Duncan: Holy shit, you were right.

He said looking at Elise who gave him a small shrug, Kenway got up from the Dire Wolf who now stood at his mid section and looked to two of his most trusted fighters.

Kenway: Where's Jon?

Kenway asked thinking that he would have been the one to meet him, Duncan and Elise shared a concerned glance making Kenway worry a little, so they filled him in on everything that's happened, Sansa escaped Winterfell thanks to Brienne of Tarth, Jon has served his time as Lord of the Night's Watch after being killed and coming back from the dead.

Duncan: That's apparently a family thing.

Duncan joked that Jon came back from the dead and so has Kenway, Kenway looked to him from his standing position where he's putting his armour on, Elise has seen him change before and Duncan's not seeing anything he doesn't want to, Midnight resting beside a tree, looking bigger then the aged nature, Elise continued though with the catch up, including.

Elise: Jon and Sansa tried to call the Stark Bannermen, most of them turned them away.

Kenway looked to her as she nodded confirming her words, apparently they weren't too happy with following a bastard or a women into a battle, Kenway sighed and hated that Jon is still seen as a bastard, Jon's as much his brother as Robb was.

Kenway: Alright. Let's take a little trip, shall we...

Kenway attached his armour and tied his sword around his waist, Elise and Duncan smiled to seeing Kenway back and taking charge, there is something different about him but their not sure what it is, so they just watched him climb onto Shah's back, saddling up as he petted his friend.

Kenway: ... Let's see what happens when they say no to me.

Kenway smirked as they joined him, climbing on the backs of their respective horses, Kenway took off with them behind him, Midnight running just off to the side, pretty close to the same size as Shah, Kenway could probably saddle his wolf up and ride her into battle at this point, Elise and Duncan followed Kenway to all the Bannermen who turned Jon and Sansa down.

Kenway's arrival in Deepwood Moat spread and the entire Glover family stood out to receive the King of the North, Kenway stopped Shah in front of the Glover house much like his family did for Robert Baratheon all those years ago now, they all fell to their knees at seeing him before Kenway climbed off his horse and smiled to the Lord.

Kenway: Lord Glover.

Kenway smiled walking over to them, asking him to stand, as soon as they did he shared a handshake with the Bannerman of House Stark, Duncan and Elise climbing off their respective horses, Midnight being admired by many of the Glover household before Kenway turned to business.

Kenway: We need to talk.

Robett agreed and after Kenway gave his introductions to Glover's family, they went into the main hall where Kenway negotiated with the Lord about his helping in him getting his home back, Kenway understood why he turned Jon down, Roose helped Robett get the Deepwood Moat back after Robb's death, so he get's it, what he doesn't get is why Jon didn't use his resources to get Glover back to their team...

=========================

Kenway, Jon, Sansa and the others arrived back at their little camp, as soon as they did, Kenway hugged his little sister as she and Jon approached him, they gave their greetings and happy to see him back and better but what happened to him.

Kenway: ... We'll talk about that after we get out home back.

It's not what they wanted to hear but still followed Kenway through the camp as Kenway looked over the army Jon has built up, which honestly wasn't much but it's going to be more soon, Jon pushed aside his wonder of how Kenway's still alive and decided to help him take back their home, telling him they are still out numbered by the Bolton forces.

Kenway: That's what Ramsey thinks...

His words caught confusion for Jon, Sansa, Tormund, Lyanna and Davos, they continued to follow Kenway as he watched Midnight run to find Snow, their the last of their litter now, they need to stick together as much as the Stark's do.

Kenway: ... We hold the advantage, we grew up in those halls. We know every loose rock and every secret passage. We could sneak in tonight and slit their throats in their sleep.

Kenway stopped and turned to the men and girl behind him, he appreciated Lyanna for answering Jon's call, he already respected the Mormont family, since meeting her father, the former Lord Commander of the Night's Watch.

Tormund: So why don't ya. Kill the cunts while their fucking their whores.

Kenway looked to the large ginger man standing beside Elise and Duncan, Kenway hasn't had the pleasure of meeting him yet but Jon seems to trust him so, Kenway feels the same, he trusts Jon's judgement and if his brother trusts him then so can he.

Kenway: Well, my crazy haired friend. It's about making a statement.

Kenway turned back as Jon stood beside him and walked still trying to figure out how Kenway survived a spear through his chest, not many people can walk away from that but he has, then again, Jon came back from the dead so he can't really judge.

Kenway: Also, I got something you guys didn't...

They were about to ask what it is but before they could, Kenway walked into the tent where they set up as a makeshift war room, table in the centre of the room and a map of Winterfell on it, Jon's plan doesn't look at that well thought out to be honest, he was always a better swordsman then leader.

Kenway: ... Lord Glover.

Everyone looked to Robett Glover standing in the tent, his family crest on his chest plate as Kenway walked around to get a drink, everyone filled into the room as Robett gave his acknowledgement to all of them, Sansa asked him why he changed his mind but before he could answer after a small nervous chuckle Kenway answered for him.

Kenway: You two were the heirs of the most powerful family in the North, yet you didn't use it.

They all looked to Kenway as he took his wolf coat off and is now standing in his armour, Sansa and Jon only saw it once or twice but it still looks pretty cool, Kenway put his drink on the table and leant on it looking to them.

Kenway: We made a deal, he gives me his army and Rickon is to wed, Erena Glover when they both come of age.

Rickon is a little older then Erena but only by maybe 2 or 3 name days, all that means is that Kenway needs to keep Rickon safe and make sure that he gets his brother back tomorrow, they conversed a little more about what's to come as the leaders stood around the table in the tent, the King at the head.

Jon: If he was smart, he'd stay inside the walls of Winterfell and wait us out.

Davos: That's not his way. He knows the North is watching and their Kings back. If the other houses sense weakness on his part, they'll stop fearing him.

Kenway: Then their fearing the wrong man.

They all looked to Kenway as they map now showed Lord Glover's added numbers, Ramsey has no idea that they are now level with the Bolton's in force numbers but Kenway has one more Ace up his sleeve to play.

Kenway: Have you called to the Arryn?

Kenway asked looking around them, mainly Sansa and Jon, they both nodded and told him what they knew, Kenway understood and thought of another plan, this time it seemed a little more suicide then not.

Kenway: I will lead the army you have, Jon with me. Ramsey will believe that he has the numbers. Lord Glover you and your men will be behind the tree line out of sight, then when he sends his men charging, you coming around the side, cut them off, surrounding them.

Kenway's plan seemed as good as any and no one really had a better plan, Kenway's already got Lord Glover on their side which is boosted their odds, Sansa watched as her brothers planned a battle for their home, standing with both Duncan and Elise to her side, Lord Mazin on her other side.

Tormund: It's not his men that worry me. It's his horses. I know what mounted knights can do to us. You and Stannis cut through us like piss through snow.

Kenway was hoping to get the last Baratheon on their side but Elise told him what happened, he tried taking Winterfell, with Southerners when Winter is coming, the man wasn't the smartest and most of them froze to death or fled in the night, cutting his numbers dramatically.

Jon: We're digging trenches all along our flanks. They won't be able to hit us the way that Stannis hit you, in a double envelopment.

Kenway nodded to that, it's a good idea, that does sort of change his plan though, that just means that Glover's men will either fight with them or charge around the back and close them off, the room though fell silent as Kenway looked across to Jon and Davos, Robett standing to Davos' right and Kenway's left, he saw them looking to Tormund on his right and looked as well, the Free Folk clearly confused about something.

Jon: A pincer move.

Tormund still had no clue what he was talking about as his eyes looked from Jon, to Davos then to the grinning Kenway, it's good to be back in the North, this is what he missed, this and his family.

Jon: They won't be able to hit us from the sides.

Tormund responded with a single "Good", meaning that he finally understood what Jon is talking about, Kenway once again chuckled before going back to the table, changing the original plan slightly to fit the better tactics.

Kenway: So that changes the Glover men attack from the side plan. Our best chance would be for you to find you're way behind them, close them in. Or, you can join us and attack them face on. I'll leave the decision to you, My Lord.

Robett nodded his appreciation as they went back to the plan, he'll probably choose to redirect their attack from the rear taking Ramsey's 6,000 by surprise, Kenway still wondered what was going on back in Meereen, if Dani was back and safe, as well as if he will be a father, if so, that changes everything about the future.

Davos: It's crucial that we let them charge at us. They've got the numbers, we need the patience.

Jon stood up from his leaning place and watched the map as he walked around the table, heading towards Tormund and Kenway, Davos however continued, this is a discussion after all, Kenway is open to hearing better plans then his.

Davos: If we let him buckle our centre, he'll pursue. Then we'll have him surrounded on three sides.

Kenway stood from his leaning position, it seemed they have everything they need set up, they have the plan and now just need to act on it, so he picked up his cup drinking from it before giving one last order.

Kenway: Go get some sleep. Tomorrow, we go home.

Everyone bowed to him, all except Tormund, Kenway didn't really mind though, he knows the Wildings have no care for ranks and what not so he ignored it, also Tormund looks like he could snap him in two so he's not looking to piss of the man from beyond The Wall.

Kenway: Not you two...

Kenway asked stopping Jon and Sansa from leaving the tent, he didn't look up from the map though as he stood there with his arms behind his back standing up straight, until he glanced at Sansa.

Kenway: ... Got something you want to say?

He asked looking from them to his younger sister, he's caught the glances she's been giving them throughout the meeting, so this is her time to shine, to try and help them in the battle if she can...
