Chapter 9: Fire can't kill Dragons
Elysabeth Baratheon
Everyone, including her good-father Eddard Stark is leaving to the Kingslanding. Elysabeth came outside along with her Shadowcat cub nearly growing trailing beside her. She names her cub, Meraxes. Her sister Shireen is thrilled that she names him after one of dragons whose dragon rider was Rhaenrys Targaryen. Her little sister is sad that Ser Davos will be leaving, but gave her little sister a wood carved direwolf for her. Elysabeth is too, is saddened for his departure. Her good sisters Sansa Stark are thrilled to go to South and her head is in clouds of becoming Queen of seven kingdoms. Arya on the other hand scowled at thought of leaving home and becoming a lady. However, she cheered Arya up saying that there is hidden passage where she could find Balerion the dread skull in there. Arya cheered a little as she gave Elysabeth a hug and left with her Septa. She came before her father and mother to say good-bye to them.
"Take care father, mother." Elysabeth is taking a moment to remember their appearances before they are departed from the North.
"Be sure that you treated your new family with much honor and respect." Stannis told his daughter.
"I will." Elysabeth nodded as she looked at her father.
"And be sure to remember your health. Take good care of yourself." Selyse told her daughter. She always worried about Beth health since she lost all her sons after they are stillborn.
"I will."
Selyse hugged her daughter and left to ride the carnage. Stannis Baratheon looked over his pride and joy. Elysabeth let her hair down into Twisted Crown Braid and she started wearing the Starks wolf fur shoulder and wearing a long cloak of color black Baratheon. The dress she made in traditional northern dress (Arya Stark Dress image 1512483411-10725ceea7686ccde2fe28e1975f54b7). Her pattern on the vest chest is a stag and the wolf back to back.
Stannis nodded her as she did in return. Elysabeth know her father was a man of few words. She always thought of him as a man of action. Stannis gave ghost smile and trail his horse to begin the journey. Her lord father told his grace; Robert that he needs to make sure his wife is journey back to Dragonstone safety then returns his duties as Master of ships. Oberyn Martell urged his horse toward Beth.
"Dorne is always welcome to you and your children." Beth smiled at the Red Viper.
"Next time we meet. I will be victories over you." Oberyn whole heartily laugh as he nodded. He moves his horse forward and gave her a waved. Beth waved happily back.
Elysabeth looked at the party as they begin the journey. She saw Joffrey Baratheon coming towards her with his horse.
"I hope to see you soon again, my lady. It would awfully boring without your presence in the Kingslanding." Joffrey smiled a bit at Elysabeth. Elysabeth smile a bit and must remain cautious since Joffrey is going to be King, but she is not sure what he will do with such power behind the crown.
"Don't worry, my prince. Time will fly by quickly if the gods wills it." Elysabeth curtsy herself and dip her head.
"Until then, my lady." Joffrey urged his horse forward and left. Elysabeth released a deep breath that she couldn't believe she held it.
Elysabeth doesn't know why but for some odd reason. Joffrey's last word meant something, but no matter she is a Stark now and she will stay a Stark until she is dead.
"Come Meraxes. Let's go back to Sherry."
She picks up her dress as her Shadowcat follow along with her as she enters back front of the doors as they close it behind her. Beth found Shireen by the window as she fondly plays the wooded carved direwolf without looking at it.
"Shireen, how are you feeling?"
Shireen looked up with glossy eyes as Elysabeth understands. Shireen sniffles and hugged her.
"Now, now. My little doe, we'll see them again."
What she does not realize is that someone had just delivered her husband a late wedding gift few moons later.
Jon Stark
Jon Stark just doesn't know what to think. There were letters that was addressed to both him and his wife's wedding gift. The letter was written and he doesn't know what to make of it.
'Fire and Blood'
He wasn't sure if people mistaken his wife a Targaryen or thought this as a warning since the House of Stark did rebel the Mad king and dethrone the Targaryen's into exile. He opened inside the box and to his surprise at this sight.
There are Dragon eggs. One egg is a beautiful ocean blue color. The other egg is pure black as the night. The middle egg was pure white as snow.
He heard the door opened suddenly as Jon panics as his hip it the box and opened box slammed his hand close with the lid hard.
"FUCK!" Jon removes and hissed at the pain.
"Jon, are you alight?"
Jon knows this voice. He looks up and saw his lovely wife, Elysabeth standing over him. She notices his right is bruised and swollen. She wrapped his swollen with the cloth. She hand him sit down on the chair as she was working on his hand.
"What in the world are you thinking? You act as if I caught you and your mistress at the wrong time. I swear already married…" Jon chuckles in amusement as his wife continues scolding him; it felt good. Jon never had anyone so worried about him and lecturing on taking more focus of him. He felt happy that someone who care about him too much and maybe love him enough to go out of her way to lecture him. Beth looks like she is chewing him out and Jon finds himself at peace with it.
A finger that flick on his forehead snap out of him which made Jon response with an 'ow'.
"Hey, I'm lecturing you on taking better care of yourself for a change. Are even list-Mhmp!?" Jon caught her off by kissing as he felt she is trying to fight him off that he slips his tongue in her. Beth relaxes and kissed him back as he wraps her arms around his neck. He brings his wife on his lap as he wraps her body for closure. They remain that position for a while.
The kiss ended with a big gasp for air. Jon looked at his wife face that appears to be heavily flushed.
"Don't make this into a habit of making me shut up about arguing you." Beth tried to look stern, but she looks like a kitten having a tantrum.
"Mmm, don't worry, Beth. I will try." Jon looks like a wolf ready to pounce on his mate. However, his mate looked over the box in confusion and curious written in her face.
Jon had completely forgotten about it.
'I am an idiot.' Jon mentally smacks his forehead.
"Jon, what's this?"
"I don't know love. Someone sent it and the guards said that someone mention that it's a late wedding present."
"Fire and blood."
"Yeah. Just as the letter just said."
Jon watches his wife carefully as she sat up from his lap and walk towards the box. Jon looked at his wife as she open the lid. He heard her gasp silently as she stared at the dragon eggs'. She took hold one of them is pure black egg. Jon knew that his wife told him in her letters that as a little girl, she used to dream of dragons and that she was riding them.
It was quiet for them as he heard his wife speak.
"Is it so wrong for me to wish that they can be hatch?" Beth whispers wishfully. Jon looks from the egg to his wife. Beth looks as peaceful as she cradles the black egg like she was already a mother to her baby.
"No, Beth. I don't think it's wrong. Then again history did tell us that only a Targaryen can hatch the eggs." Jon told Beth, but for some odd reason it felt dulled to his stomach. Why did he feel that he knows more about the eggs but that's impossible? He knows that he is a Stark, yet not a true one?
Beth put the egg back into its box. Her fingers gently glazed on the eggs as she close the lid.
"You still not sure who sent this gift?" Beth looks at him with cautious eyes and worried about endangering her husband.
"For now, my wife; we must keep them close to us and never mention them outside of Winterfell." Jon hugged his Beth tightly. He could still hear the wolves howling.
Night has begun to fall in Winterfell. Beth orders some servants to move their things to another room. Jon has been helping Robb who is acting Lord of Winterfell until his father returns. He can tell that his brother is getting frustrated and Lady Stark refuses to leave Bran side. Jon has been hearing whispers in his head all day. Fire and Ice. They chanted in his head and feel the headaches are coming in. The other chanted. Fire can't kill a dragon.
He doesn't know why, but in his heart he feels that these are real dragon eggs. They just need to know how to hatch them carefully. He knows where to start. Jon quickly paces himself to find Beth in the old chambers as he opened the door; he saw Beth.
Beth was carrying the box that contains the dragon eggs as she came to pick it up. Jon enters their old chambers as saw his wife lifting up the box.
"Jon?"
"Let's see Maester Luwin scrolls." Jon smiled a bit when Beth looks like a girl who just gotten her best presents on her namedays.
"Yes, let's." Beth quickly went out the door and grabs his hand as they laugh gently to hallways.
The Library Tower
Jon looks over the scrolls as his wife reading them in fast pace and written notes for them. Jon carried some books and scrolls as he gently grabs one book to look over. He didn't know how long both of them have been reading until they heard the door creak opened.
"You not supposed to be here." An intruder with a dagger and he look like some kind of common thief; Jon reach his sword only to realizes he didn't carried one. He looks to his wife as his notice she didn't carry one either. The intruder sneer as he looks at his wife lustfully and Jon realize now is not the time worry about not having a weapon. Jon moved himself quickly as he shields Beth in front of her.
"Who are you?" Jon question as a Lord of his land should. Jon stood strong as his glare at the intruder. The intruder just smirks as he walks calmly towards.
"Well, it doesn't matter. When I set this place on fire and killing you; I will enjoy your woman's cunt around your body and leave her to die."
That's a ticket. Jon attacked him furiously as he was wrestling him and the box full of dragon eggs fell off the table with the books and scrolls. He was so focusing on fending off the intruder that he didn't notice the oil spill from the man's hand all over the floor. Jon punches the man in the face as he was strongly holding his hand that hand the dagger. It was a big tugged on/off from getting stabbed by the intruder. He even didn't notice that Beth knock over the lighted candle off the table as she quickly check over their eggs which to his relief they are unharmed if he was not focusing and fighting this man.
The fire touched the oil and flames erupted. The flames circle around them and there's no way out. Jon paused a bit for he saw flames surrounding them, but he was stabbed in the shoulders as he heard Beth screamed for him.
"JON!"
Jon quickly kicks him out of the way as quickly slide himself to Beth as the dragon eggs are. Beth pressed her hand onto his wound.
"You bastard!"
The intruder grabs Beth hair as she screams in pain. Jon screams, "No!" Jon felt his feet boot press him down on the floor.
He saw Beth struggle against him as she was clawing his hands. Jon saw the fire spreading quickly and Jon quickly look up the roof as it looks like it's ready to collapse on them. The man notices it too. "I hope when we die! At least, I get a taste this bitch!" He didn't believe what happen next. Beth became a wolf that night. Beth grabs a pair of silver scissors and stabs him in his crotch. The intruder screams in pain as she grabs his dagger hand to cut her hair out to set her free.
Jon never thought he see his wife more beautiful and fierce. The intruder withered in pain. His wife long black hair is cut short. Her black spread on the floor as they were burned away.
Beth looks at Jon.
"Jon," her tears fallen as if she couldn't believe that this is the end. Jon felt tears in his eyes. Jon has to tell her.
Jon's arm is bleeding down to the eggs.
"I have fallen love with you from the first moment that I saw you." Jon hand's cupped her cheek as he saw more tear falling from her eyes.
"I have too, since you saw me only 'Beth'. I decided from then on that I love this man." Jon cries and laughing as he kissed his wife. He didn't mind the flames are coming down all that matters that his wife is with him.
Their bodies were engulfed in flames. However Jon hearing must be wrong. He is hearing some sort of screeching sounds like animals of sort.
Robb Stark
Robb Stark is tired and is trying to get his mother to leave this room. His mother's is being stubborn.
"Gods make them stop the Howling." Robb pity his until he saw the fire in the Library tower burning.
"Fire, Fire! Mother stay with Bran."
Robb quickly went and order the men to get bucket of water. He shouted for Jon but his brother was nowhere in sight. Theon came running to him.
"Robb!" Robb turn to him. "What is it, Theon?"
"It's Jon and Lady Elysabeth! I saw them walking up to the Library tower."
'WHAT?'
His thoughts stop for a moment and couldn't believe what he is hearing. His brother and his good sister are at the library tower.
Robb quickly went ahead and saw the tower burning. Flames are spreading wilding and now way in. Robb wanted to charge in there and save his family. Theon pulled him from getting in there and Robb couldn't think of how Jon and Elysabeth died in such a terrible way.
"Beth! Where is Beth!?"
'Oh no!' Robb saw Lady Shireen running with her sister's Shadowcat and ghost by her side. A guard stood and saw lady Elysabeth hair cut in his hand which for a little girl knew what happen to her sister.
Shireen was about to run, but Robb stops her in time.
Robb grabbed lady Shireen as she cries into Robb's chest when he hold her tight in a hug her. Robb sobs as his heart breaks in two.
However, he heard gods' forsaken shrieks and growls. The chills ran through his spines until Ser Rodrick demands more water to be poured. They kept pouring water into the flames back and forth.
Dawn had break in the gloomiest morning as the fire was put out. Robb was rocking Shireen in her sleep as she exhausts herself. Ghost head perk up and fast in full speed heading towards the ruined tower. Meraxes also, followed Ghost in a full speed.
Robb shouted for them.
"Ghost! Meraxes!"
His shout woken up Shireen as he hasn't let go of her; he carried her like she was his sisters. Robb gasp as Shireen looked at what her good-brother saw and gasp happily.
"Beth!"
Ser Rodrick gasped.
"By Gods," Robb couldn't believe what he had seen. Jon is alive along with lady Elysabeth is alive as well. They are holding each other as their bodies are cover in ash and soot. They are naked as they were born today. Ghost and Meraxes happily rubbing their master happily and loving way, but that was what surprise them. Jon and Elysabeth looked up at saw him. Jon slowly assists his wife to lean on him to stand. Robb couldn't believe it.
Dragons! They have just hatch dragons' one ocean blue color on Jon's shoulder and a pure black dragon in his one arm as he other hold Elysabeth. Elysabeth is cradling a white dragon egg in her arms unhatched. Robb notice that Elysabeth hair is cut short. There was another body in burning formed.
'That's impossible!'
How can a man survive fire with getting burned? Did his father know about this? Or is Jon Snow eh Stark even his half-brother?
Jon slowly walks with his wife almost tripping, but he notice Jon didn't felt any pain from stepping on hot steps along with Elysabeth. Not even Elysabeth showed no pain from hot steps either.
"Robb?" Jon voice in raspy called to him. Robb snapped out of trance and order for some blankets as he was about to wrapped them into, but Jon stops him. Robb look confused, but Jon remove the ocean blue dragon off his shoulder and had it to his wife. Jon took the blanket and wrapped his wife first. Second blankets given to Jon as Robb guide both of them to Maester Luwin. Shireen was about to run to her sister, but Theon pulled her back a bit. They walk together as the enemies made one big mistake.
They had unknowingly help Robb's brother and sister, Jon and Elysabeth had achieved the impossible. They birth dragons.
Well, what you think? Jon's special gift. Jon Stark now knows that he doesn't burn and this will hint Robb that maybe Jon wasn't his base-born, but his blood in another way. Pm me and Review what you think.
