Your birth is but a secret, one that even your mother can never utter. She hides her screams as she gives birth to you alone in a room filled with only but a bed and a silk dress that she wore often enough that she got noticed by the former Lord of the Stormlands, Lord Robert Baratheon. Your mother groans and tries as all her power goes to making sure you are birthed right even without a wet nurse by her side. She is relieved when you pop up from under her, her whole body feeling its relief from finally being free. She smiles as she looks at you, you remind her of your father but she has no intentions of letting him know not yet if ever. She knows that she was a once off and she doesn’t want you to be rejected like she was by the Storm Lord.

You grow up smarter than most young your age, you realize and pick up things as you grow up in Flea Bottom in King’s Landing rather than where your father was born and bred which is the Stormlands. You are clever, you are told by many and yet you still want answers from your mother as to who your father is and yet she evades the question each turn. She is a wench in Flea Bottom and you know that your father is a Lord, someone whom is highly respected but you don’t care about that…no all you care about is just a name the rest you shall figure out when the time comes.

Finally relenting, there is a war that brews in King’s Landing involving the Prince and Lord Robert Baratheon over a simple woman that your mother finally relents and tells you your father’s name. His name carries weight and you hold your breathe as she utters the words ‘Lord Robert Baratheon.’, you don’t believe her at first because she could have made up such a man but then you are fourtunate enough to run into the Lord that you realize that you and he share some traits that you start believe your mother. You are Robert Baratheon’s son and you are aware that there maybe more than only you in the world of your father.

The war ends badly for your father as you watch in horror as your father is put to the spear, he doesn’t cry no, he just looks at the new Queen in shame and adoration something that the Queen does not return. You are not broken, no, you never knew Robert Baratheon so it doesn’t bother you instead you continue to live your life. You meet Tobho Mott who trains you to be a blacksmith as an unknown lord had paid the price for your learnership. You learn from Mott as much as you can, you absorb as much as you can and you learn to love it. You are not shocked when your mother tells you she wants to see you.

You walk into your mother’s little house and there stands a man who looks similar to Robert Baratheon except this one is filled with hate and a drudge that you just shake your head and sit down. You wait for your mother to introduce the stranger and you finally know that it is Lord Stannis Baratheon, brother to the late Robert Baratheon. You are told that you are going to go with the man so he could train you on how to fight and be his heir as he has none and his brother has him. You wonder as you listen how a bastard can be an heir until the man, Stannis says he has bent the knee to the new King and he has agreed to legitimize him as a Baratheon, son of Robert Baratheon and heir to the Stormlands.

You go with him bidding farewell to your mother and as soon as you arrive in the Stormlands you are put into training, swords, spears and politics and then you are introduced to your uncle, Renly and your other uncle, Stannis’s family that you quickie develop a close bond with Shireen and all you want to do is protect her. You learn of the red witch from Stannis and you don’t trust her and that bothers you so much so that you tell your fears only to Renly who seems kind. You travel to the North where you learn more about your father from stories told by those who knew him and his betrothment to Lady Lyanna Stark now known as Queen Lyanna Targaryen. You are satisfied with the stories and you can’t help yourself as you keep looking at Princess Arya Stark who seems not interested in marriage rather than the sword and that entices you even more. You know that Arya would be the perfect bride for you because she is none other. She is who she is and that makes you happy.

You are back in Kings Landing, you bend the knee to King Rhaegar Targaryen and he legitimizes you as Gendry Baratheon and gives you titles that your father had before he was beheaded. You wonder why because the King clearly hates Baratheons as much as he does Lannister’s and Clegane’s for what they had done to his family. You don’t ask though you are happy to be acknowledged.
