So, here is the next chapter! and We finally get to meet Khal Drogo! Though he doesn't appear until later, and yus I hope you like this part!
Daenerys sat in the cage, purple eyes gazing out the window. Was Hiccup on his way? She hoped so, had her father noticed she was gone? She had after all left in the early morning hours and currently it was night. The moon's silver rays, shining down on her hair making it seem almost translucent. She looked downwards, wondering how she could have been so stupid. How could she have just run off like that, she hoped Fanghook was alright, the poor dragon was most likely scared and frightened out of his mind. The teenager didn't even bother addressing the Half-Dothraki man as he entered. He went over, and gripped the iron bars as he glanced at her.
" I was not lying, when I said there would be many a Khal who would want you. My mother hailed from Khal Drogo's Khalasar before being taken by my father. He would pay a most handsome price for you." Said the man, as Daenerys just sat there staring out the window and ignoring him. " What, can you not speak?"
She sat there in defiance, teeth grinding as her hands were clenched tightly. The man entered, and stood behind her gently running a hand through her silver hair. She swallowed the lump in her throat that arose in disgust. His stench was putrid, and next to her as she sat unfazed and undaunted. He chuckled, as he lightly stroked her cheek.
" You have the spirit of the Dornish, what is it the Martells say? ' Unbowed, unbent, unbroken?' Fitting actually, since your brother married one of them. Not the viking, your true brother...even had a couple of little dragons with her. They say Rhaegar Targaryen left her however, ran off with Lyanna Stark." He replied, causing Daenerys to clench her hands tightly into fists. " Do you know what happened to the Martell woman? They say the Lannisters sent The Mountain, Gregor Clegane after her. He killed the children first, before defiling and killing her...she wasn't so 'unbowed, unbent, and unbroken then'.
He chuckled, and it took all of Daenerys' self control not to lash out at him, even so she was glaring at him with the intensity of a thousand suns. He chuckled, and knelt before her.
"I bet that look you're giving me is just how Rhaegar looked, before Robert Baratheon used his war hammer to bash his pretty face in. Just after dealing the killing blow to his chest" He replied, before smirking. " Maybe instead of telling you, I'll show you...it'll be poetic in a way, to kill the dragon rider like the dragon prince."
Immediately, Daenerys spat at the man who growled, and smacked her across the face though she just glared up at him with those purple eyes that looked into his soul. He proceeded to grab her, by the front of her shirt collar, and lift her up. To which the girl immediately had her hands on his wrist.
" Keep talking, and see where that mouth gets you." She threatened. " I am Daenerys Targaryen Haddock, princess of Dragonstone...and I take what is mine with fire and blood."
She glared, and kicked him in the face, he cried out and grabbed his face letting her go. She immediately ran out of there, and closed the door behind her locking him in. The princess began to rush out, before pausing when she saw another open cell. Something told her to go inside...which was all manner of foolish, and yet there was something that was almost calling her. She looked and the man was trying to get out, there were no dragon hunters around. She entered the cell, and saw a strange wooden box. The fourteen year old apprehensively made her way over and opened it. There she saw, three dragon eggs of black, green, and white. Gently, she picked up the black one and carefully ran her fingers along the ridges. These didn't look like any dragon eggs from the archipelago, where had they come from? She looked up, as she heard commotion going on upstairs followed by the roar of a Night Fury. She collected the eggs, before getting out of there only to see two dragon hunters there.
" Oi! Those are ours!" Exclaimed one of them.
" Mine now." She replied, before rushing over to Fanghook's cell. They chased after her, when Toothless blasted at them.
" Dany!?" Came Hiccup's voice.
" Hiccup!" She Exclaimed, immediately Hiccup rushed over and embraced his little sister.
" Are you ok? Did they hurt you?" Asked Hiccup.
" No, no I'm fine." Said Daenerys with a smile, as she shifted the eggs over before hugging Hiccup with her free arm. The reunion was cut short however, by the half Dothraki man who exited his cell. Immediately Hiccup stood infront of Daenerys, as Toothless stood by his side growling at the man with his teeth bared. Astrid and Stormfly flew in, with Astrid having her ax at the ready.
" Ah, two vikings, a Nadder, and a Night Fury...quite the challenge." Said the man, Astrid ran at him as Stormfly shot her stingers out at him. He simply, dodged Astrid's swing before punching her in the stomach causing her to bend over in pain. He grabbed her and dodged Stormfly's stingers before tossing her aside. Hiccup, rushed over to check on Astrid as Toothless pounced on the man. He smirked, and grabbed Toothless' throat before beginning to grab tightly to the dragon's jugular. Toothless cried out in pain, before preparing to fire at him.
He smirked, and moved Toothless' head so that he was pointed at Hiccup and Astrid. Daenerys' eyes widened, as she saw Toothless immediately stop his fire before being bashed in the nose.
" Toothless!" Yelled Hiccup.
The half Dothraki, Half viking man stood up and smirked at Hiccup before pullling out a sword. Hiccup pulled out his own sword, and immediately the two of them began to battle. Swords clashing, and tempers high. Hiccup ducked, narrowly escaping having his head chopped off. Daenerys looked up, as Gustav snuck in and released Fanghook. The monstrous Nightmare immediately lighting itself on fire. Astrid used her ax to stand upright, as Stormfly helped her up. He smirked, as Toothless stood beside Hiccup, and once more brandished his teeth. Three vikings, three dragons. He looked to Daenerys, the child was crafty he'd give her that and true they could fight but well, that was a waste of time and energy.
" You want her that badly? Keep the girl, but mark my words...you won't be around to protect her all the time. I will get the girl, and she will make a good Khaleesi for Drogo." Said the man before putting away his sword. Hiccup, helped Daenerys on Toothless, before he and the others fled on their own dragons. Dagur crying out for them to return and to face him. The sun slowly rising on the horizon.
"I'm sorry I ran off Hiccup, I just got so angry and..." She was cut off by her brother reaching back and wrapping an arm around her in a warm embrace.
"It's fine, just please never do that again. "He replied, when he noticed the angry red mark on her face thanks to the daylight. His blood immediately boiled. " They hit you?"
" Oh um, the Dothraki guy did, but I got him back. " She replied, having forgotten that she'd been slapped in the face.
" You sure? Maybe we should take you to Gothi or-"
"Hiccup, it's a slap mark, I'll live. "She replied, making him sigh, as he hugged her tighter. She smiled and hugged him back, when she recalled what the man said. She was just glad that Hiccup didn't suffer the same fate as either one of her other brothers.
Once they were back, Stoick was there waiting for them and he did not look happy.
" Hello father." Said Dany solemnly.
" Daenerys! Are you alright? What were you thinking?" Asked Stoick, his anger born more from worry than true anger.
" It was my idea sir, " Said Gustav stepping forward. " Dany tried to knock some sense into me but...I didn't listen. I said somethings I shouldn't have and...I was a huge jerk, I'm sorry Dany."
" Well, I was the one who ran off...I'm sorry everyone, it's just I wasn't thinking, I was rash and impulsive and...I'm sorry." Said Daenerys, as her purple eyes glanced upwards at her father.
Stoick sighed, before hugging his daughter tightly, having spent all that time wondering where she was and whether or not she was safe...it had hurt more than anything. He was glad she was safe, and sound now. He paused, when he noticed what she was holding.
" What're those?" Asked Stoick.
" Dragon eggs, I found them on the ship. They're not from any known species...I don't think." Said Dany, as she held them up slightly.
"Hmm, those don't look like dragon eggs from Archipelago species, Fishlegs have you seen anything like these?" Asked Hiccup, as he lightly held one up so that their resident dragon expert could see.
" It looks centuries old, like its fossilized into rock but there's no denying it these are dragon eggs." Said Fishlegs, as he handed the egg back to Daenerys who looked at it with gleaming purple eyes. She looked up at her father and brother pleadingly.
" Can I keep them?" She asked hopefully.
" I don't know Dany, it-"
"Please father? They're fossils, not eggs that will hatch. They're pretty, and possibly a part of where I am." Said the fourteen year old immediately. She knew that once again she was acting very much like a child. Then again, there is no promise that these eggs will hatch after all Fishlegs did say they were almost stone. Hiccup and Stoick shared a look neither of them were sure about this...but well they were just eggs after all, and they were fossils so what was the harm? Stoick sighed, and ruffled her white hair making her chuckle.
" Alright, you may keep them." Said Stoick, making her smile before looking down at the three eggs in her arms. A strange warmth filling her heart, as she followed her father to his dragon.
" Dad, wait there was a guy he looked half Dothraki and he was interested in Daenerys and said something about wanting to make her a Khaleesi for Khal Drogo." Said Hiccup, and immediately Stoick clenched his hands tightly infto fists. He had never met the Khal, but he had heard of him. They said that Khal Drogo was unparalleled in strength and cruelty, he was a bloodthirsty savage and the viking chief vowed that he would destroy him should he ever come near his daughter. " She'll be ok right?"
" Don't worry son, I'll make sure she's safe." Said Stoick, placing a hand on his son's shoulder before helping Daenerys on Skullcrusher and flying off. Gustav flew off on Fanghook afterwards.
It had been days, perhaps even weeks but he had finally made his way to Khal Drogo's Khalasar. The Dothraki looked over to him, noting how though he was tanned like them he was lighter. As though mixed with another, his hair was long and braided but different than how a normal rider had their hair. He entered the tent where the great Khal was seated while men gathered around him and women were kneeled before him. The man knelt before the great Khal.
"Great Khal, I bring you news...I have found you a Khaleesi." Said the man in broken Dothrak, Khal Drogo knitted his brow and looked at the foreigner oddly. " She is a girl from the land beyond the sea, with silver hair and purple eyes. Though, she has been raised by the Horned men."
" The Dothraki do not speak to the Horned Men. It is known." Said Khal Drogo. " We do not seek peace nor war with them."
" Yet, the Horned men had no qualms in attacking your Khalasar and taking my mother and your other women. The Horned men only take, and we conquer...they are the enemy. Besides, every Khal needs a good Khaleesi does he not?"
Khal Drogo paused and looked downwards, the Dothraki and the Vikings or Horned men, rarely crossed paths. The Horned men often ravaged the waters whilst the Dothraki ravaged the land of Essos. Often however, they did not stray far from their Archipelago any more than the Dothraki crossed the sea. Even so, the Khal was curious about this girl. He looked up at the man and ordered.
" Bring her to me."
