Thirteen years of ruling the summer islands. The very culture of summer islanders promoted peace as large wars are usually avoided. My reign as king of summer islands was an age of prosperity and peace.The religion in summer islands was another thing.There was no extremism to their religion and it attracted many of the Westerosi that came with me.I did not believe in any gods but I respected the religion of summer islands for their ability to keep peace in the island.
In the last ten years with the help of summer Islanders I managed to create the most advanced naval force seen in this world.Ships with long range cannons , superior speed and manueverability.The royal navy was the pride of summer islands.
My idea to spread rumors of our sightings with outlandish stories seems to have done the job of successfully hoodwinking Robert's assassins.
Another thing I did was I made contact with Melisandre. I still remember that conversation clearly.
5 YEARS AGO
"Welcome to summer islands priestess Melisadre of Volantis" I said
"A call by the Azhor Ahai cannot be ignored easily your grace" She said bowing to me
"I have called you here to request your's as well as your order's aid in the coming conflict with the forces of darkness." I said
"You speak of the battle with the great other" She asked
"Indeed, the second war for dawn will be fought on the North of Westeros.The enemy has been preparing its troops for thousands of years slowly with great patience. If we are to fight the army of undead we will need a huge army of living as well, and for that I need westeros under my rule. Unfortunately the actions of my father and brother destroyed our dynasty. Now I need your help to destroy my enemies" I said to her
"How may I be of service to Azhor Ahai." She asked
"If you will, travel to Dragonstone there you will meet Stannis Baratheon. He is the brother of Robert the Usurper. Get into his council enthrall his mind. The royal children are not legitimate. They are bastards of Cersei Lannister and Jaime Lannister. Soon civil war will come, I want you to manipulate him so that he fights his brother Renly for the throne and please inform your order that the time is near for the Great War and prepare to face the enemy." I said
"I will your grace. Stannis Baratheon will not become an obstacle in your path." She said
"Lord Valereon will give you all the help you will need" I said
Anyways now Melisandre is a trusted advisor in Stannis Baratheon's court.She has been feeding him promise of false victory for years now.
Balerion has grown big enough to ride.I usually took him for a round in the sky during early mornings and evenings.Because of my ability to warg I am able to communicate with him so controlling him was easy as I trained him from a young age. I personally fed him never allowing anyone else near him.
The maesters I brought with me, I used them to train many people in ravenry under close observation. Once I take over westeros I will be exterminating their order root and stem. So a large force of learned men and women will be needed and I will be breaking the power of each kingdoms and centralizing the power directly into me. That stupid faith of seven will try their best to resist, but either they will play ball with me or I will hurl a fireball down their throat.
Another important matter was my sister. She got to grow up in a stable environment so she was a happy girl.She was sweet and an innocent girl like shown during the show.All the characters look exactly like in the Game of Thrones show. So my sister was an exact copy of our dear Khaleesi. She is now fourteen years old and already a beauty that attracts any that lay eyes on her.Many were already asking for her hand in marriage but I was not willing to marry off her at a young age.I will let her have her freedom to enjoy life.
Arthur Dayne returned to the Islands after two years passed after he was successfull in throwing off the spies that were following him.With him and other kingsguard by my side I will have experienced and respectful warriors for my war.
I will not make the people of Summer Islands fight a war that is not theirs to fight. But I'm in need of soldiers. Naval power can only put pressure on the enemy and disrupt trade but to hold the lands I conquer I will need soldiers. So the only available options are the unsullued and sellswords. The unsullied can be obtained using the same method employed by Dany in the show but the sellswords, to hire them I will be needing a large amount of money.
So to boost the economy I started building roads in the individual islands. The merchent fleet was again expanded to accomodate the needs of the Island. Trade with Dorne was climbing fast. Dorne has been now buying more food from us than the reach as well as the new drinks like whisky, vodka, white wine, rum from the new distillaries that I started.The economy was booming and my purchasing power increased beyond imagination.
Then one day news came from westeros of the death of Robert Baratheon. The opportunity was finally here and I immediately took Dany to an open courtyard and using another dragon egg that came into my possession I hatched a dragon and presented it to her. She named it Rhaegon after our dead brother.
I immediately commanded the Royal Navy to sail to Dorne with Arthur Dayne as my representative to earn their allegience. I took some twenty ships with me and sailed to Astapur with Dany.
It took us a month to reach Astapur. I explained the plan to Dany alone and met with the slave masters.We negotiated a price for eight thousand unsullied soldiers for the price of one dragon.They agreed and the moment I owned the Unsullied I ordered them to attack the slavers and kill them and set the masters on fire using Rheagon.The city of Astapur was sacked of all valuables, and then loaded the loot in our ships.
I called a council meeting to discuss the next move.
"With the strength we now possess we could take Dragonstone and challenge kingslanding directly your grace.The war would be over easily ." Commander Burner said
"In a purely naval point of view Dragonstone is a strategically valuable place but the situation is very different now.At the moment all our enemies are fighting each other weakening themselves in the process.If I barge in with my dragons and our navy they might just unite to fight a common enemy, namely us." I said
"King Viserys is correct. Dragonstone at the moment is not important. But what about Castely Rock your grace.Surely taking the seat of House Lannister will weaken the crown and at the same time strengthen the enemies of Lannisters." Commander Hightower asked
"You are correct Ser but I think we must think in another way. Tell me what are our greatest strengths." I asked
"Your Dragons and our navy your grace." Ser Whent said
"Then first we must ensure no forces can threaten our greatest strengths.Dragons cannot be easily killed and they are hard for our enemies to reach. The only thing they can threaten is our navy. So we must remove all threats to our navy." I said
"The Iron fleet,royal fleet under Stannis, lannister fleet based on Lannisport and the Redwine fleet are the only notable naval presence that can challenge us my prince. If we destroy them then Naval superiority will be ours." Commander Burner said
"Indeed and our target becomes more clear my friends. We shall strike both the Lannister fleet and Iron fleet. The destruction of Lannister fleet is your job commander Burner while I will be dealing with the Iron Islands.When Aegon took the seven kingdoms he made a mistake my lords, he left the Ironborn alive.Since then these pirates have been plundering the world.I will put an end to this permanently." I said
"We should contact Lord Valerion as well my King. His help will be needed when we eventually take Dragonstone." Commander Hightower said
"You are correct ser.I shall immediately make contact with Lord Valerion.We must immediately divert the forces in Dorne to Lannisport and Iron Islands." I said
"Yes your grace" Burner said as he left
"Does anyone have anything to add. No , then this council is dismissed" I said as I rose from I chair and left the room
We set course for the Iron Islands while Balerion flew over the sky.That night Dany visited my cabin in the ship.She was wearing a Myrish lace dress that twinkled in the light of candles in the room.
"Brother, I was wondering will you marry me off to some lords in the seven kingdoms to gain their allegience." She asked
" Why, do you want to marry someone" I asked
"No, my friends told me this was how westerosi nobles forged alliances." She said to me
" We are Targaryens sweet sister. We do not marry our women outside the family.Only in very rare cases." I said
"Oh , okay then" She said
"I will not plan your marriage without your permission sister. You have my word." I said
"Thank you brother" she said happily
As she left I sat in my room thinking about where we would land and how the attack is going to carry out.
