Welcome to Litsy!

Davos &his companions have a plan, but they must deceive Melisandre to smuggle Edric out of Dragonstone. He sees them off &goes to Stannis. Melisandre saw the death of the third king in the fire, but Stannis hesitates without official word, Davos confirms it is true. Stannis has no love for Joffrey &Tommen is still heir. Stannis feels betrayed, as he draws his sword Davos pulls out a letter…

Stannis hears of the Red Wedding, but he is not impressed with the Freys. Queen Selyse &Melisandre preach that killing Edric Storm will raise dragons for Stannis. She implies her ritual killed 2 kings, Davos says if the 3rd dies he will be convinced &Stannis sees his logic
Davos has been learning to read & Pylos gives him an old letter from the Nightwatch about the wildlings coming south, asking for help; he is troubled by the implications

Davos is brought before Stannis. Ser Axell has a plan, to attack Claw Isle for bending the knee after Blackwater. Stannis asks for Davos‘ opinion; he says most of the men died on Blackwater, they‘d punish innocent families for the choice of their leader. Stannis defends Melisandre pointing out to Davos all responsible for Blackwater, he doubts her role in Renly‘s death.Davos is made Hand. Edric Storm is sick &they are using his blood for rituals

He is still in the dungeon. But Maester Pylos has cured his sickness &he is fed. Melisandre visits, wants to use him for his strength& life-fire for another shadow. Melisandre says she saw Davos‘s plot in the flames. He asks if she knew the future why did she let them to go to KingsLanding? She blames it on Stannis &unbelievers
Stannis‘s Hand is then jailed with Davos. He says the War was lost that day, but Davos knows Stannis won‘t yield

Davos swears vengeance against Melisandre. He is still recovering but he is treated well on the ship. Davos hears the rumors of Renley‘s shade. They arrive &he asks the see Stannis but is taken to Salladhor Saan who speaks to him about Illyrio. His son Devan survived. Davos blames Melisandre for orchestrating their failure, says he‘ll kill her. While entering the castle, Davos meets Robert‘s bastard Edric Storm before he is taken to the dungeon

He seems to be the only survivor of the wildfire, able to swim under the chain because he didn‘t wear armor, but is now sick &isolated in a cave. Weak from hunger, thirst & exposure, &with his sons dead he considers walking into the water &ending it. Despairing, he prays to the Mother who reminds him of how he contributed to Melisandre‘s deeds.
He calls to the passing ship, the Mother reminding him of his wife & king & not to forget his own gods.

Davos is in his element in the war fleet on Blackwater Bay, he recalls his smuggling days. Their enemy lures them close. Davos smells a trap. But their archers take out Joff‘s army. Ships ram eachother. Then they are assaulted by wildfire. Lannisters planted a ship full &when it is struck by The Swordfish it erupts. Davos‘s ship goes up &he‘s in the water. Lannisters have raised the chain & trapped the ships & any survivors behind a wall of flame.

Stannis meets Ser Cortnay to get him to surrender Storm‘s End &Edric Storm (Robert‘s bastard)Stannis‘s men spread rumors that Brienne killed Renly. Stannis tells Davos he dreamt of Renly‘s death,says Renly brought it about by his treason. Davos tries to direct Stannis to KingsLanding where their true enemies are. Stannis worries it will look like defeat. Davos is sent with Melisandre to set Cortnay‘s fate, where she gives birth to Stannis‘s shadow

The red woman is performing a ritual, burning the 7 gods & calling on the Lord of Light. Davos is uneasy.
He heads to an inn to get the news of what is happening in Kings Landing &strategize with a pirate. Stannis writes his proclamation to lay claim for the Iron Throne. Davos attempts to give him counsel, about the harshness & unfounded statements in the proclamation & about Cressen &the red woman. Stannis says that the 7 never answered him.
