So here is the next chapter of the story. I cut Duck from the story for I have other plans. Also in my version Tyrion and Aegon doesn't meet in Essos. I hope you will like how I portrayed Jon Connington and Aegon. Please if you like the story leave your thoughts about it.
The red knight
17 years later
"I tell you this is the right time"-the knight said to the man infront of him-"All the lords of Westeros has fighting with each other for a year now. The country is in turmoil,an ivasion would be much easier than against a united Seven kingdoms"-he finished. "Tell me my lord why should the golden company attack westeros? To reclaim your old lands that you foolishly lost? By the way who are you again Ser?"-the commander finished looking while he looked at the knight who seemed to be amused by what the man said. "My name is Jon Connington and it would not be for my lands"-as he said that he raised his hand.
When he laid his hands down a boy entered the tent. He doesn't seemed older than 17 or 18 years, he had silver blond hair and purple eyes that in this light almost looked blue. The boy was slenderly built but he was surely stronger than he looked. He wore a simple leather armour with a red tunic. The sight made the captain suspicious.
"And who might you be lad?"-he asked the boy. Jon just smiled -"This is Aegon Targaryen son of Rhaegar Targaryen the true king of the Seven Kingdoms"-Jon saw the suprise in the eyes of the Captain."Aegon Targaryen was killed along with his sister during with the Sack of King's Landing by The Mountain."-the captain said-"Why would I believe you that he is truly the son of Prince Rhaegar."
"He is truly the heir to to the throne."-Jon began-"The boy who was killed by the Mountain was just a decoy used by Lord Varys by the way he also told me to give you this letter what he wrote to you"-Jon finnished and handed over a small letter with a small spider sigil on it.
The captain took the letter from Jon and started to read it. After he read it through he looked at the boy a The captain just looked at the boy. "Oh gods its truly you"-the captain said- "this letter changes everything"-the captain throwed the letter in to the fire then knelt before Aegon -"The Golden Company is at you service your grace."-Aegon looked at the captain-"You may rise captain and thank you for your support in the wars to come."-he said smiling at the old captain. "What is your plan for the invasion?"-the old man asked as he stood up"-"Let's see the map"- Jon said as he pointed to the map on the table -"We can discuss it better over it."
The map itself was atleast 2 feet long it showed Westeros with every castle and town. "So we..."-Jon began but he was interrupted by Aegon. "We plan to land in the Stormlands, more specificaly at two location."-He began with a stern voice and pointing at the map and Jon couldn't help but smile as he looked at the boy- "The first is the beach near Storm's End the second is near Griffin's Roost. We choose the Stormlands for the place of the landing is because our connection in Westeros says that the lord of the Stormlands Stannis Baratheon has left it with the majority of his forces and went north so it must be lightly defended. Our spies says that Storm's End is guarded only with a skeleton garrison so it should be easy to conquer and once we have it we will have one of the strongest castle in the kingdom as a base for the rest of our campaing. The attack on Griffin's Roost is only a diversion because the garrison at Storm's End will surely send to help defend it leaving it even more without defence. Furthermore the Stormlands is very close to the Reach so the food supplies should be easy to restock."-Aegon finnished and looked at Jon who just smiled and nodded.
"Well its a good and well out thought plan. The boy has a keen millitary mind I can see that. "-the captain started as he looked up from the map- "But we may have a little problem. We don't have ships to bring the man to Westeros"-the old captain said as he looked at Jon and Aegon. "Don't worry about the ships our friend in Pentos will provide them as well as the gold to pay our expenses"-Jon said and while he did he put a box from under the table before the captain-"And this is for you to seal our alliance"-Jon said.
The captain-general opened it and he couldn't spoke a word, the box was full of gold coins. "Oh my... "-he started but couldn't finnish the sentence -"Its 5 thousand gold dragon and it is all yours."-Jon said. He knew that the the Captain-General of the Golden Company was a very greedy man so his plan to offer him a tremendous amount of gold to cement his support seemed to work atleast frrom the reaction the captain made."And if we win my crown back I will give you lands and titles as well"-Aegon said as he looked at the captain. The Captain fell silent for a moment then spoke-" I'll prepare a tent for you two. "-he said clearly still shocked from the gift that Jon just gave him -"Thank you"-Jon began- "we all should get some rest hard days are ahead of us"-he said and walked out from the tent with Aegon.
Later that night as they ate their dinner Jon sat next to Aegon. "I am proud of you kid"-he began-"you showed that mercenary that you know what you doing and at the age of yours its a big thing"-Jon said as he looked proudly at the young man-"Everything I know I learned from you old man"-Aegon said smiling at Jon. That smile reminded him so much of Rhaegar. What a great king he could have become but the gods have a strange sense of humour. If only I found Robert at the Stoney Sept I could have finished the rebellion. But Robert managed to slip out the city and kill Rhaegar at the Trident. 'I failed my prince not just as a soldier but as a friend aswell. But whatever happens I will not fail his son'. As he thought about this he felt a great sadness crushing through him and Aegon must have saw it.
"Is everything okay old man?"-he asked in a slighly worried voice-"Yes I just... I just thought about the past. Anyway we should get some sleep now we have hard days ahead of us my prince."-he stood up and left the tent but before he could exit to leave the boy to rest the Aegon started to speak. "Don't worry they don't even know what's coming for them. We will win."-he said. Jon couldn't do anything but laugh at that. "Never underestimate your enemy. Don't commit the same mistake I've done my prince."
A week later the Golden Company was ready to set sail to Westeros. Jon walked in the harbour and watched the soldiers as loaded the equipment and the food supplies to the ship. As he walked past a group of soldiers he heard them speak.
"I can't believe that we sail to Westeros"-one soldier said- "I don't mind we didn't had a good fight in months"-said another who couldn't have been older than 20. 'You wil get that fight don't worry about it.'-Jon thought to himself as he walked past them. The last news that he received from Westeros is that Lord Tywin Lannister had been killed and now his daughter Cersei rules in King's Landing. The news brought joy to Jon because he knew that without the stern leadership of Tywin the Lannisters are significantly weaker but then he reminded himself that he mustn't underestimate the enemy. Not as he did at the battle of Stoney Sept which is now called the Battle of the Bells. There he thought that Robert will meet his army at the field but Robert lured him into the city and then the flanks were attacked by the combined forces of the Vale,North and Riverlords. It was one of the biggest defeat the loyalist forces suffered during the war and it was because Jon had underestimated the enemy.
As he thought about this he saw that Aegon stood at the training yards and watched as the soldiers of the Golden Company trained. Jon walked to him and he too watched the soldiers train.
"With and army like them we surely win the war."-Aegon said suddenly while still looking at the mercenaries- "They surely can fight but never take the victory for granted."-Jon began-"The Lannister army is one of the best trained in Westeros and the Reach is the most populated region. We will be heavily outnumbered so we must be cautious and clever if we want to win the war."-Jon said as he looked at Aegon. The young boy turned to him and smiled. "With the help of a war veteran as you I'm sure we will."-he said then walked away. Jon just watched as he left and prayed to the gods to let the boy be alright.
