Chapter 9 Aftermath

Jon looked at Jaime Lannister and said "this is the famous swordsman I have heard about" Robb laughed at that "all famous swordsmen are worth shit when they are chained up". Robb introduced grey wind his faithful companion and trusted friend, Jon looked at grey wind and thought it's a wolf but then felt him nuzzle his hand which shocked Robb because he never showed that kind of affection to no one else except him, Robb smiled non the less "Jon after you left father found a dire wolf which is rare because they are normally not meant to be anywhere close to here". Jon still stroking grey wind, he saw that mentioning his father was tough for Robb, Jon spoke out "I am sorry I was not here Robb if I had known" Robb interrupted him "if you were at the wall you would have known". Jon felt anger rise in him it was not his choice to be told the truth about his birth when they heard Jaime attempt they both turned their heads to him.

Jaime once a famous swordsman now covered in his own shit and sometimes forced to drink his own piss rather than die of thirst "I heard you both were talking about dead Ned" that got a reaction out of Robb he told grey wind to attack at his leg and grey wind did just that biting Jaime's leg, when Robb had heard enough of Jaime's screams he called grey wind off and just like that he was back at Robbs side. Jon wanted to a closer look at him and walked towards him when Robb moved his arm out to stop him from moving forward "Jon the last people who got too close to this thing lost their lives" he wanted to be able to call Jon brother but could not now that he knew the truth about him, Jon looked at Robb then back at Jaime who just had a smile as he stared at Jon.

Jon heard a voice from behind that he thought he would never hear he turned to her and spoke "Catelyn" he looked at him as if she was staring at his soul "you cannot be here, you were sent across the narrow sea before Ned" she felt like she wanted to weep but would give Jaime the satisfaction of seeing vulnerable. Robb asked her if he might have a word with her and Jon in his tent and with that said they walked there leaving Jaime in his shit for another night.

Daenerys awoke feeling lighter she moved her hand down to her belly when she felt stitches, she threw the covers off her and saw a line from just under her breasts down to her stomach, she called for Ser Jorah he took a moment but entered her tent "my queen" he said then knelt in front of her, "rise" she told him "did you find a raven to send to Jon" he rose and said "I did the message is sent". She tried to stand but could not muster the strength and when he noticed she was going to fall he grabbed onto her "my queen" he said , she rose her hand to brush down his face "call me Dany" he sat her down on her bed and began to inform of what the letters contents were.

To Jon

Daenerys has fallen ill, Drogo has passed and she grieves for him, You must return she needs you I fear I am not strong enough to stop

She, most of her khalasar has left her we will head for the closest city to

Us I believe it is Qarth but if we are not there meet us in Yunkai, the unsullied Are there fierce warrior who do not know the meaning of fear, we will wait for You please hurry, your friend Jorah.

Daenerys looked at him "you told him I was ill" she turned her head, Jorah thought this would be the best time to speak "I know you love him Dany" she turned her head back to him almost instantly "I do not love him" she tried to say honestly but she knew from the bottom of her heart that was not true "Jorah what am I meant to do, he was a squire and I am a queen" he put a hand on her shoulder and thought back to when he told Jon about his past and turned his head down to look upon her face with the beautiful violet eyes, he knew he could " titles should not matter Dany if you love him, be with him it won't matter what others think" she raised her hand to put on top of Jorah and her mind went to thinking about what will happen when she sees Jon again.

It started to rain just as they got into Robbs tent Jon thought of Jaime surrounded by his wet shit although he did not have any anger towards him other than what he said about Ned, Jaime was one of the most important people in Westeros that made him a very valuable bargaining chip.

Robb closed the curtains to his tent they were a dark shade of Brown, he looked at Jon and Catelyn "mother I have learned that Jon is not my father's bastard" she nodded "I know Robb, Ned told me just before Jon left for across the narrow sea" she turned her gaze to Jon "where is it you went" he replied "Pentos to a man called Illryio" she asked him if that was the merchant and Jon nodded because truthfully he did not know that much about him himself.

Robb did not know what shocked him more the thought of his mother knowing who Jon was and not telling him or the fact of how they were having a conversation and were not clawing at each other's throats "mother you knew and did not tell me" she lowered her head "Ned told me not to tell anyone and after he was killed I did not wanted to break my promise to him". Robb saw the reason in that and could not blame her. Theon poked his head through the curtains and told Robb how there was a small unit of Lannister's not too far nearby, Robb told him to ready some men but keep it small we do not want to give wind of our attack; Theon nodded and moved his head out. Robb asked Jon if he ready for a fight, Jon replied with "fight alongside my cousin sure" unsheathing his arakh, Robb told Catelyn they would not be long and with that they were gone.

Daenerys rested a while to gather her strength, she thought back to her baby and how it was gone and shouted for Jorah he came swiftly "yes my queen" she used all her strength to sit herself up the stitches felt like they were ripping themselves out "go get Mirri I want to know what I bought with my child's life". Jorah returned with Mirri she spoke "how are you my queen" Daenerys told her to show her to Drogo she gave a slight nod and told her to follow her, Mirri left the tent to show her what she bought with her child's life. Jorah was about to leave when he heard Dany call him and help her put on some clothes, he walked towards her and put his firm hands on her hips while she put the dress over her head and it went down her slim body, Jorah admired her he knew he could never have her as his other, but he would do anything she commanded of him. Daenerys noticed him staring at her and blushed "Jorah I am a little young for you" he snapped out of his daze "Daenerys I meant no offence" she raised her hand to her lips and giggled a bit "how could I take offence, I have been told I am beautiful by my handmaidens and its one of the qualities Drogo was so taken by". Jorah knew everything she said was true he let her hold onto him as he escorted her to where Drogo was.

When she saw he she felt like she wanted to run to him and rest her head on his chest, but all she could do was tell Jorah to walk a little faster and that he did, he stopped right in front of him she dropped onto his knees, looking into his once loving eyes all she saw was nothingness, his pupils did not even change from the light, she felt a great anger rise from her stomach and she turned her gaze to Mirri "you said if I gave you my child you would bring him back", Mirri look astonished "what do you mean he is back". Daenerys raised her hands to her head "this is not living he is not the man, I loved he is a shell", Mirri laughed " he is exactly what I told you he would be, living nothing else you knew what would happen, you should of known better than to trust a women who's village you just put to waste".

Daenerys turned her head to Jorah and he moved back a half step from the rage dwelling in her eyes she told him "take her away now, I will deal with her later" Jorah nodded and took Mirri by the arm away from. Daenerys put her hand on the face of the man she once called husband she knew what she had to do, she called for one of her handmaidens and Doreah came within a few moments "yes Khaleesi" Daenerys told her to go and grab a pillow and bring it to her, Doreah gave her a bizarre look but went away to grab a pillow none the less, she returned a few moments later with one. Daenerys told her to lay Drogo down on the dirt and she did just that, Daenerys pressed the pillow over his fast to stop him breathing, Doreah started shrieking "no, no what are you doing", Daenerys had tears forming in her eyes "this is not living, Doreah do you not understand he is not a man like this he must pass on to the other world" with that said she took the pillow off his face, a tear dropped from her face and landed on his cheek, he was dead again she thought my love died twice and with that she called Doreah over to her to comfort her.

Jon was alongside Robb he had always wanted to go to battle with Robb ever since he was younger to feel like a stark but Ned always kept his training away from Robb and Theon afraid that he would damage the pretty face of the first born. Jon thought back to his fight with Haggo the first man he killed and how he wore his arakh this was one of the highest honour to be giving among the dothraki he missed his tribe but more importantly he missed Daenerys her lips, her touch he knew he would not die today he would make it back to her and finally tell her the truth about himself but how would she take it both of them being Targaryen's would you find it weird how Jon has been lusting after her since there first kiss in the fields. Robb gave a light tap on the shoulder to tell Jon the plan "I will send grey wind in first to pick off any scouts who might be where we cannot see them" Jon nodded unsheathing his arakh, grey wind return shortly with blood on his muzzle he wiped his face on Robbs cheek, he gave a light chuckle. Jon moved his hand to pat grey wind on the head he closed, Robb told him "how he always did like being patted on his head and scratched behind his ears". Jon asked if it was time to move but Robb looked at grey wind "is that all of them boy" Grey wind acted like he could understand and nodded his head.

Robb only wanted to take Jon and Theon who he got to kneel on a vantage point because he was best with the bow and arrow and would be needed if any archers would be close enough to take one of them out, Theon did not like being kept out the action but gave Jon an irritated glare, Jon did not care what Theon thought anymore since being with the dothraki he learned if one man had a problem with another he made it known not cower behind stares and glares, but Theon was too much of a coward to make his problem known.

Robb and Jon advanced on the camp they hid behind a wall, Robb looked to see if anyone would see them if they advanced but before they left he tasked one side of the camp to his Edmure his mother's Brother he had never disappointed him yet he knew stealth was the key, Robb looked up to see a man with a bow he pointed up so Theon could see who he was pointing at and pulled back his arrow and sent it straight through the man's heart it looked like but either way he was down. Robb told Jon to go around and deal with the left side of the camp he handed him his dagger and told him to not be too reckless, Jon gave him a smile and took the dagger from his hand and disappeared into the darkness.

Jon crouched as he made his way towards the tents he poked his head through the curtains and saw all the men asleep, he slowly made his way towards the men and knelt besides them put his hand over the man's mouth grabbed the dagger and opened his throat blood oozed from his neck on to the floor. Jon looked at the puddle the man made and could not believe this is what it had come to but each kill makes it easier he thought and so he went to work on the others in the tent, when he finished on the last one a man entered and shouted "ALARM" Jon felt like his heart began to race he dropped the dagger to the ground pulled his arakh from its holster and slashed at the man's chest causing his guts to plunge to the floor the man fell shortly after, Jon walked out expecting more men to be there but saw Robb with grey wind but his side and said "what took you so long" Jon scratched his head "I am out of practise" and gave a chuckle after but Robb saw through it "did you kill anyone across the narrow sea" Jon handed him his arakh to show him his prize for the first man he killed, Robb admired it "you need a whetstone for this cousin" Jon knew it had been a while and you had to take care of your weapons if you wanted them to last and keep their sharpness "Robb can we go back to camp, I need rest for tomorrow" Robb nodded and handed his back his weapon "let's go, we can talk more in the morning" Robb gave a shout to Theon and they made their way back to camp.

Daenerys asked her people to gather enough branches to make a pyre to burn Drogo body so he might move to the other side, most people did nothing but when she herself started to help they followed her example and soon enough they had the wood needed and started making the pyre when it was done she would return to her tent. Daenerys picked up one of her dragon eggs and put it in the fire, it was stone so it would not be damaged from the heat. She picked it up from the fire when one of her handmaidens told her "Khaleesi no you will burn yourself" she herself touched the egg and made a small scream to not attract attention. This caused Daenerys to look at her hands and see scale marks from the heat of the egg and then she turned her head to her hands and nothing she was unburnt.

Daenerys told her to go get her hands looked at and send Jorah in on her way out she did not talk against only gave a nod and walked out and Jorah walked in "yes Dany" he said, she smiled at that and wondered why Jon sometimes struggled to call her Dany but she averted her attention back to Jorah "I will be burning Drogo body later and I want you to attack Mirri to it as well she betrayed us and must learn the price of betrayal", Jorah spoke out against her first time he done that "are you sure that's wise Dany, think about what would Jon say if he was here" Danys eyes widened and she walked towards him raising her voice slightly "I am your queen don't question my decision and how dare you bring Jon into this, he is not here he has no say". The anger went from Dany at the thought of Jon "I am sorry Jorah I did not mean that, I miss him so much, any word from the raven" Jorah told her "no but it should arrive soon, I sent the fastest one we had and I told him to meet us in Qarth or Yunkai". Dany sat back down "Jorah what am I meant to do with no Drogo or Jon I cannot lead this khalasar I am not strong enough" Jorah felt saddened how she could not see what he saw " you are a strong women Dany you will survive this because Jon is fighting for you in Westeros and I know when he gets that letter that he will rush back here" Dany told him thanks and dismissed him they had a funeral to get ready for, when he left she said to herself "tonight the dragons shall be born or I shall perish".

The rain had stopped when Jon woke up he had a reasonably comfy bed compared to what he was used to, the ground was not a welcoming place, he got up looking at his blood rider outfit he looked at it feeling pride, the challenge he had to overcome to earn it, he dressed himself then departed to find Robb. When he made his way from the tent he heard a voice, he turned around to see who it was "lady Catelyn" he said, she was a lot friendlier to him than what she was in the past probably because he was not his late husband's bastard but more a child who he saved from death at the hands of Robert "how are you Jon" she said warmly. Jon asked her if she wanted to walk with him to Robbs tent she nodded smiling, "so how was it across the narrow sea" she asked him and he did not know what to say definitely not tell her that he was in love with his aunty, then he remembered the fight with Haggo. He took a deep breath "when I was over there I got involved in a khalasar and the horse lord wanted me to be a blood rider, but I had to fight one of his and kill him to become one" Catelyn gasped "but you killed him". Jon showed her the scar on his shoulder when he was struck it had healed by now but still a painful reminder that she should have fought faster.

When they reached Robbs tent a man was running at them when he got to them he started panting he was not a very slim man but was not a fat man "are you Jon" he said still panting "yes" Jon replied, the man held a little scroll out to Jon. Jon took it eyeing its contents.

To Jon

Daenerys has fallen ill, Drogo has passed and she grieves for him, You must return she needs you I fear I am not strong enough to stop She, most of her khalasar has left her we will head for the closest city to Us I believe it is Qarth but if we are not there meet us in Yunkai, the unsullied Are there fierce warrior who do not know the meaning of fear, we will wait for You please hurry, your friend Jorah.

He turned his head to face Catelyn "I got to tell Robb I am leaving at once", Catelyn stared at Jon as he walked into Robbs tent leaving the man stood there, and she followed closely behind him. Robb was around his war table with Roose Bolton and Theon they all looked at Jon only Robb greeted him "good morning brother" Jon looked at him strangely obviously he won't tell them so he went along with it "morning" he said plainly, "can I talk to you alone" he said, Robb told them to return shortly Roose Bolton did not take no offence but Theon shot Jon another glare, Jon had enough so he stepped in front of Theon "have you got a problem with me" he told Theon. Robb looked at Jon and gave a silent leave it alone, Jon stepped aside Theon still smirking as he walked out.

What is so important Jon, he handed Robb the note and Robb looked it up and down a few times to make sure he was reading it right, "is this true" he said "yes" Jon replied I must head back, I need to make sure she is ok. Robb knew the love he bared for her and did nothing to try and stop him, he walked over to Jon and gave him a hug "this will not be the last time we see each other, don't die over there" Jon chucked a bit "I will try not to". Robb handed him back the note and Jon turned to lady Catelyn "goodbye" he said she hugged him "you may not of been my son, but you make me proud Jon" she said. Robb walked him to his horse and handed him so supplies to get him to the harbour Jon told him money was no problem and showed him the gold dragons, Robb smirked at seeing them "have safe travels ", Jon nodded and galloped his horse away from the camp he thought how many times would he have to say farewell to people he loved, it never gets any easier and with he rode for the harbour should be there before nightfall.

Daenerys woke up, she fell asleep after Jorah left her earlier, and she looked outside to see the wood for the pyre had been stacked and on top was Drogo body, she called what remained of her khalasar to her and they came and looked at her, she spoke to them "Drogo died of the wound he sustained, we will burn his body to send him to the great beyond where he will ride endlessly". She signalled for Jorah to bring Mirri and he did "this one said she could bring him back to life and she turned on us sacrificed my child, so we will burn her tonight, Jorah tie her to post I want to have a word with her first".

Jorah made sure she was tightly tied up and then stepped back Daenerys walked towards her "why did you do this I saved you", Mirri laughed "saved me before you came along, I had been raped 3 times and your people destroyed my temple where I saved people, they took something from me so I took something from them" Mirri look at Daenerys stomach "does it hurt like something you love was ripped from you". Daenerys had nothing more to say to her, she stepped away "hand me a torch" she said looking at Jorah, he handed her one and she threw it between the logs and watched as the flame slowly rose and when the fire reached Mirri she began to scream.

Daenerys walked into her tent and came out holding the three dragon eggs, she walked over to Jorah "I am there mother, I shall walk into the fire and birth them" she tried to walk away when Jorah grabbed her arm "Khaleesi no don't for the love Jon bears you and I" she would of moved her hand to brush his cheek but she smiled instead "Jorah I cannot be burnt by the fire for I have blood of the dragon" with that he let her go and she slowly walked into the fire "Jon where are you?" he said.

Jon rode for hours to get to the harbour Daenerys I am coming please be safe he thought his mind went to what would happen if he saw her again, would he kiss her, embrace her but to feel her soft skin against his that is all he wanted, he kicked the side of his horse to make it go fast, when he saw the dock and one boat blowing the horn to depart, "No" Jon shouted as he made his way toward the harbour he got to the dock, "wait" he said the man saw him and lowered the draw bridge. The man looked at him strange "where you want to go" he said, Jon got off his horse and told him he wanted to go to Pentos but the man shook his head I am not heading to Pentos I am going to Qarth. Jon looked at the note and nodded "that's fine" he said "how much will it cost for a cabin" the man told him 10 gold dragons thinking he could not afford it, Jon grabbed 10 dragons from his pouch and handed them to the man he also asked if food was included the man nodded, Jon went to get settled in his cabin when the man told him it food would be served in an hour, hope you like squid with that the man let him leave. Jon entered the cabin to see a feathered bed and a desk and a nice carpet, he dumped his bag in the corner and led on the bed waiting for dinner and thinking about Daenerys.

Morning

The pyre had burned out and Jorah and everyone else had fallen asleep on the ground when they heard s voice "wake up my people" their eyes opened in amazement and they looked upon Daenerys with 3 dragons on her one of them was on her shoulder screeching as he stretched his wings. Jorah walked towards her and he knelt before her saying "blood of my blood" and with that everyone followed him and knelt before her she thought of how Jon would feel seeing her with these dragons she smiled and shouted "Jorah where is the closest place to us for shelter", he looked up at her "Qarth my queen", she said "my people we head for Qarth".
