So I just couldn’t get the Gendrya Mulan AU out of my head...here is a bit of what I’ve been working on. I am debating if I want to make it a WIP or maybe like 3 large parts....Still got a bit of ways to go.
There was no stopping the Lannister army as it marched beyond the borders of King’s Landing, ravening everything in their path. As their forces grew closer to crossing through the Riverlands, the other Kingdoms of Westeros decided to but their differences aside and band together to defeat a common enemy.
A decree was declared that every family around the remaining regions of Westeros would provide a body to fight; a son to sacrifice. Yet, the Stark did not have any expendable sons. Robb had passed, a tragic horse accident. Jon was beyond the wall. Bran was crippled and Rickon was too young to fight. That only left her father, who had tired in his years.
He could hardly walk; an old injury flaring in his old age, yet he was determined and took his sword from the old wars and practice in the training yard.
The call had yet to come, but Arya knew that soon her father would leave to fight a war; his death destined to come. It was a bittersweet thought. She admired her father’s tenacious spirit, but knew his body was failing him. If he went to war, she knew he would never return.
But her thoughts could not linger on her father’s bleak fate, for she was to ready herself for marriage.
