A/N: Hello everyone! I am so glad that the Wi-Fi has returned. This is the second chap of the Season 2 portion of When the Wolves Howl. The only pairing in this story that is of importance is Daenerys/Keira with a side of Jon/OFC. As it says down below: No important animals (direwolves, dragons, and some others) will be harmed. Rated T for language and blood.
NO DIREWOLVES WILL BE KILLED IN THE MAKING OF THIS FANFIC.
ALSO NO DRAGONS WILL BE KILLED IN THE MAKING OF THIS FANFIC.
Without further adieu:
I own nothing but my original characters and their storylines. Everything else belongs to their respective owners.
Italic sentences like this, mean that the person is speaking in another language or if it is an entire part then it is a memory, also it is how Myosis communicates with our dear Keira.
See you all at the bottom!
~Enjoy!~
Keira let out a few more labored breaths.
"What's wrong with her?" Daenerys turns to Richard after wiping away more of the sweat on Keira's forehead.
Richard shakes his head, "I do not know. It could be anything-" He jumps when a large thump was heard outside.
The man rushes out to see Myosis for the first time in a few days, looking around frantically for the Stark. He was about to nod his head towards the tent until the sound of hooves enters his ears, signaling that one of the riders was back. As the horse approaches with no rider, both Richard and Jorah walk up to it. They notice the bag on the horse's side that was dripping and the men exchange a few glances. Jorah pulls whatever it was out halfway, confirming that it was a severed head. Daenerys had come out then, watching Jorah the whole time.
Myosis ignores most of the conversation once the rider's mate crumbles to the ground with the news of his death. Her attention turns towards the tent as the dragon could hear the Stark's pain. She looks up at the sky, knowing that soon the red streak would be gone and Keira would be back to normal. The dragon lets out a huff before lying down as the Targaryen girl steps in front of her with determination.
"I know you can understand me." Daenerys lets out a breath.
Myosis awaited what the girl was going to say.
Daenerys looks down, "Can you help her?" She says.
Myosis shakes her head with a sigh.
Daenerys kept her head down before entering the tent and only perking up when Keira turns her head towards her, "You're awake?" She could feel the relief fill her body.
"I think...unless I'm dreaming and suddenly there will be prancing sheep in front of me." Keira winces when pain shoots through her body.
A quirk of Daenerys's lips made Keira glad to know that she could make her smile, "You were close to dying this morning. I...I thought..." She turns quiet after a small chuckle from the Stark.
Keira shakes her head, "I didn't think you cared, Your Majesty." She recites what she had said earlier.
Daenerys rolls her eyes, "Shut up, Stark." She murmurs as she comes to Keira's side.
"Sure, Targar-" Keira went to say until coughs began racking her body.
She leans over slightly away from the Khaleesi as warm liquid spills from her mouth. She tasted metallic. Blood. Keira felt Daenerys tracing circles on her back in comfort. Her throat throbbed as more blood kept coming out until it finally stops. Daenerys pushes her back onto the bed before dipping a rag into the water near the bed and she places it upon the Stark's forehead. She began to worry when the Stark wasn't breathing properly until her chest seemed to rise and fall how it should.
Soon enough, Keira was sound asleep as the Targaryen examines her features for the twelfth time that day, "I see it's getting worse." Jorah says as he enters, immediately noticing the blood embedded in the dirt.
"I feel helpless, Jorah." Daenerys turns to him, "She came here, gave me her loyalty without even knowing me, and this is what she gets in return? Pain beyond imagine?" She glances to Keira then.
Jorah looks at the Stark as well, "She'll survive. If there's one thing about the Starks, it's that they are too stubborn to die. Keira is proof of that." The Mormont says.
"What do you mean she's proof?" Daenerys asks.
Jorah realized he has said too much so he sighs, "Keira was born dying, or so my father told me. It could be because of what Richard told us about her lineage or it could be anything else. All I know is that she was dying for a week after being born and Lady Stark had disappeared from Winterfell. When she came back, Keira was healthy and strong for a child her age." He watches how Daenerys looks at Keira in thought.
What did that mean?
"Our second child is dying and you are doing nothing!"
"I will not subject her to the life that would be her fate. She's just a child."
"I thought you would care more about your own child. If you won't do it, I will."
"Catelyn, you don't know what you are doing! That monster cannot be trusted no matter how many lives it has saved!"
"I don't care."
Catelyn Stark walks to the stables, a bundle of blankets in her arm and the hood of her cloak over her head. Keira stood behind the horse her mother had chosen, watching as she climbs on and the horse takes off after her mother's command. They end up at the cave where Keira had found Myosis and Catelyn lays the blankets in front of a very large cavern within, opening them up to reveal an almost lifeless Keira.
The Stark looks up into the dark air, "Please. Save my daughter." She had teary eyes as she spoke.
"You would condemn this child to her fate? All for the hope of her living?" A eerie voice spoke.
"I would. Please, I don't care how you do it. Just save her." Catelyn looks back down at the pale skin of her child.
Keira was watching the conversation until a hand rests on her arm, "Keira!" Bran hugs her tightly after seeing it was his older sister.
"Bran? But...how?" Keira looks down at her younger brother after hugging back.
Bran shrugs, "One minute I was in my bed falling asleep, the next I was here watching mother." The two both nearly jump when the white dragon appears in front of their mother.
The dragon brings forth an egg, not the one that Keira had found. This egg had an array of colors that was under the shell and the Stark girl found herself entranced by it as her heart began beating faster. It brings the egg next to the baby where her heart was and a green glow emits from it. The glow transfers into Keira's body as her skin color returns to normal and Catelyn breathes a sigh of relief.
The dragon places the egg next to the baby, "Their hearts are now one. She will become what her predecessors before her were. A Seer and much more as time passes." The dragon narrows its eyes at the Stark, "Do not dissuade her from the path laid out. She must be bonded with a Targaryen...or she will die."
"How do I bond her to one?" Catelyn asks.
The dragon huffs, "You don't. Her heart will choose. Just make sure that she is near them. It will be a tricky process if she is too far from the one she is to be bonded with." A moment of silence passes by as the dragon debates whether to tell the baby's mother of what will happen.
"And if they are?" She asks, looking up at the dragon once she gathers her baby in her arms.
"Then we better hope that your daughter can take an unimaginable amount of pain when the true bonding process begins after they do make contact." The dragon held its head high as it says this.
"Thank you."
Both Bran and Keira watch their mother leave the cave.
"What was that? A-and why didn't mother tell us there was a dragon near our home?" Bran watches the dragon disappear.
Keira thinks for a moment, truly understanding all the pains in her chest before reaching eighteen, "Because it was dead." She looks at her brother.
"What do you mean?" The boy asks.
"I mean...when I found a different egg the dragon was dead. It must've died sometime after I was born." She glances down at the egg, trying to ignore the itch in her fingers to run her hands over it like it was calling to her.
Just as Bran was about to reply, both their visions black out.
Taking them away from the memory.
Keira's eyes snap open just as the anger hits her.
She gets up, stumbling out of the tent without paying any mind to the pain it gave her body as she approaches Myosis.
"What the hell was that?!" She let out angrily, catching the attention of Daenerys, Jorah, and Richard.
'I don't-'
"Don't lie to me! I know you saw what just happened!" Keira interrupts Myosis.
The dragon stares at the Stark before sending out a connection to the other three behind the girl, 'It was how you survived and how you solidified your status as a Seer.' Myosis ignores the surprised looks from the three.
"What does it mean?" Keira feels herself calming down suddenly until she notices how close Daenerys was to her.
Myosis sighs, 'It means that the time has nearly come for your true self to emerge. He will come to you. Until then, you must wait and gain your strength.' The dragon nods her head.
Daenerys steps forward slightly, "Until who comes?" She asks.
'The one in the egg.'
A/N: Gotta love cliffhangers, am I right?...No? Damn. Well anyways, another dragon? Myosis you got competition ;). Also, for those of you who don't understand the glowing thing which happened between the egg and baby Keira then go look up the movie Dragonheart. It's a great movie and personally one of my favorites...along with the rest of the movies that go with it. But now we know that Myosis has been lying this whole time, wonder how that's going to bode well with Keira in the long run. Thanks for the usual everyone, I appreciate it!
See you in the next one!
Review, fav, and follow! :)
