(A/N: My one verse fix for the eff up that both D&D and, GRRM did to House Martell canon wise. Oh by the way, the way I have magic used in my verses, is a bit different from canon. Till and if GRRM finishes the series, I’m just using it my way. Enjoy the story.)
Character of the day: Arianne Martell
Song Inspired: “Home” and “Give Me A Sign” by: Breaking Benjamin
“I can help you get you the Iron Throne.”
Was all that the note read. Arianne could tell it was the same writing as the note that was left for her Father, Doran. That was from four days ago.
“Come to King’s Landing in three days time. Bring your Ellaria, the Sand Snakes and your Father, if he can.”
Was all that the note read. Arianne was interested on who was sending the notes; she could feel eyes on her though. She wasn’t sure what the feeling was. Arianne did not want to bring her Father with her, not after all the hell he brought to her mentally. That was from three days ago.
“Your Uncle isn’t dead, he lives. You have no reason to believe this claim or, any that I have had made to you, but I did promise your Father.”
Was all that the note read. Her heart wanted to stop, to read that line made her enraged. The blood of Martell screamed for answers. Arianne had to wait though, would the others believe her if she told them the truth? That was two days ago.
“I serve the Martells, like I do my own house. I seek to have Tywin and Cersei Lannister dead.”
Was all that the note red. Arianne chuckled at the note; if they’re a real ally, it would make this interesting. Soon they’d be in King’s Landing and the mystery would be answered. Was Oberyn truly alive or was this a gambit, Arianne could afford to take? That was a day ago.
“Come to the Red Keep.”
Was all that the last note read…
This was it, Arianne, her cousins and Ellaria had made it to King’s Landing; Arianne being confident normally, felt nervous. It was like time slowed down for her and that, if it was for nothing, that it would be a fate worse than death.
The group, huddled together, weapons at the drawn at an eerily calm Red Keep. It was like it had been abandoned like Shadystone. Their hearts beating hard as they felt anxious, their steps echoing as they head for the Throne room.
They walk into the room and standing in the center of the room is Oberyn Martell, skull in tact. Oberyn’s daughters jaws drop. Arianne’s eyes tear up in joy and Ellaria ran over to him, her hand touching his face.
“It’s him...how?” Ellaria asked.
“Apologizes my love.” Oberyn smirked.
I walked into the room, just watching from a far. Allowing Oberyn to be with his family…
Arianne felt something touch her shoulder; a raven with a small scroll...just like the one from her Father’s study the one day. She took the scroll:
“Over here.”
Arianne’s eyes meet mine, a small smile on my face. I started to walk over to them, thinking it would be okay now.
“We’ve been waiting for you Queen Arianne.” I spoke finally.
I pulled my hood down and smiled at the group.
“How?! How is he alive?” Arianne asked.
Of course Oberyn and Ellaria were making out like horny teenagers, but it’s welcomed right now. I turned to the shadows. Arianne could see a black humanoid mass standing there. Her eyes go wide in shock seeing it.
“Do you remember how I came to Dorne with no guards from the North?” I asked.
“Yes.” Arianne answered.
“It’s why. Basically I was able to switch your Uncle out for my shadow. What Ellaria saw, was my shadow magus being murdered. Listen, your Grace, if you want me dead for not-”
“Why would I want you dead? You saved my Uncle! I mean, sure I am upset at the fact you didn’t say anything but I...thank you.” Arianne was a bit stunned.
Doran had a plan to put Arianne on the Iron Throne; things changed but when I sent Doran that note all that time ago, I meant it. I would help him get her on the throne and help get justice for Elia. I’m not doing it for the glory or anything, it’s because they’re my family.
I may have the wolf blood in me, but they’re part of our family too. Maybe now Father, Mother and Robb may rest. Arianne was sitting on the Iron Throne, was the next thing I remembered. Cersei’s crown now on her head.
"'Unbowed, unbent, unbroken.' The words of House Martell. A promise to our enemies, and a challenge to our lovers."

I think people have become so far removed from the natural world that "witnessing nature do it's thing" is often misinterpreted as having mystical significance.
This is not meant to be a judgement of anyone, no one here is the reason we live in a society away from the wilds. But I think that the little to no exposure people have with non-human spaces turns perfectly ordinary occurrences into something of a spectacle.
"I keep seeing large groups of crows around, who is trying to reach out?" Probably no one, crows are diurnal flock animals that actively seek out people because they are smart and know we have lots of stuff they can scavenge.
"This tree in my yard put out SO many flowers but seems to be dying now, did someone curse me?" Nope! Trees, particularly fruit trees, can stress bloom, where they put out tons of flowers in response to any number of stressors. Might wanna see if you can fix the stressors to save the tree.
"I was walking around during a storm and lightning hit a tree I was near, what does that mean?" It means you should thank your lucky stars you didn't get hit yourself. Lightning wants to touch the ground so badly and will zap the tallest thing around because that is the fastest way there.
"A cat gave birth under my house, do I have a familiar now?" Maybe. But under the house is dry, warm and relatively safe. She picked that spot because its a good place to keep her babies.
All of these things and more happen ALL THE TIME, we just aren't as aware of them as we used to be. Seeing nature in action is incredible and special in it's own right, just maybe not in the way you want it to be.
