DRAGONS AND WOLVES

AEGON

Aegon walks onto the deck and stands by the Captain. "That ship has been trailing since we passed the waters in between Pentos and King's Landing."

Aegon nods, "Aye. No worries Captain, its not a Pirate ship." The sky is filled with clouds and flashes with lightning. The thunder echoes across the sky as the Sea Dragon breaks waves heading North. Aegon leaves the main deck and heas to Margaery's cabin. The two had grown close as they traveled. Margaery is a woman of deep passion and feeling. She didn't just say something to try and win his favor or heart. Margaery was herself and he loved her for that.

"Are you alright My Lady."

"Comfortable My…Aegon."

He smiles, he had told her that when in private she was to refer to him as Aegon. "I like that, My Margaery." She blushes. To his disappointment Margaery and Dany are civil and respectful to one another, but there is no chance of a sisterhood developing between the two.

JON CONNINGTON

For most of the trip Jon stood on the deck of Mopatis' ship staring North. His heart soring at the news of Aegon. It was on the third day that the man in the crow's nest spotted the ship described by Strong Belwas. He ordered the Captain to follow from a distance as not to spook them. Jon had been through a lot, first his defeat in the Step Stones by Robert and then Aerys banishing him.

For a long time Jon felt lost and like a failure. Then Strong Belwas found him and bought him to Mopatis and upon learning that Princess Rhaenys is alive Jon found purpose again and meaning in life. So he watched over the daughter of Prince Rhaegar and Princess Elia. She became a daughter to him and he loved the girl as if she was his own blood.

Soon they were passing between Gulltown and Braavosian Coastlands. The Sea Dragon was a mile ahead of them and had not increased speed, but was most likely aware of Jon's ship. When they passed the Paps the man in the crow's nest lost sight of the ship, but they picked it up three days later heading towards White Harbor.

"Captain Increase speed and drop anchor near White Harbor. My men and I will row ashore,"

"Yes My Lord."

EDDARD

To Lord Eddard Stark

Father, we have arrived in White Harbor. I have paid my respects to Lord Wyman who sends his regards. I do not travel alone. Lady Margaery Tyrell is with me and a friend…We will not stay long in White Harbor travel will take longer than I intended as we bought a wheelhouse from High Garden…

Give everyone my love. Also you have my permission to tell Theon my secret

With Regards

Your Nephew Jon Snow

When Eddard reads the letter Robb and Cat are with him in his solar. "Father do you think it wise to tell Theon?"

"What choice do we have?" So Theon is summoned to the Solar.

"My Lord…" He looks at Catelyn and Robb, "Did I do something wrong?" He asks taking a seat.

"No Theon, we have something to tell you. Jon is on his way home…And well…the secret we have been keeping from you is that Jon is not my son. He is my nephew and his real name is Aegon Targaryen, son of Prince Rhaegar and his second wife. My sister Lyana."

"Son of…"

"Language!" Lady Catelyn says.

"Forgive me my Lady." He looks at Robb, "Why didn't you tell me?"

"Not my secret to tell."

'I assume that since he left he is going after the Iron Throne."

"Yes he is. He will be here soon."

Rooms are prepared and Jon's things are moved to a better room. The servants and cooks prepare food for a feast as well. Jon or Aegon's party arrives nineteen days after the raven arrived. He rides into the court as a King with Guards from House Velaryon and a wheelhouse decorated with flowers. Jon dismounts his horse and then opens the wheelhouse door.

A young beautiful woman wearing a heavy cloak exits the wheelhouse and then a hooded young woman. "Welcome home…Winterfell is yours my King." Ned drops to one knee and so does the rest of the family and household.

"Rise please…We are family. Uncle may I present Lady Margaery Tyrell of High Garden and her brother Ser Loras Tyrell."

"Welcome to Winterfell My Lady."

"Lady Margaery, My Uncle Lord Eddard Stark, his Lady wife Catelyn Stark, My brother and the heir of Winterfell Robb Stark, his fiancée Talisa Maegyr, My sister Sansa, the Little Wolf of Winterfell Arya, my brothers Bran and Rickon…My friend and my Uncle's Ward Theon Greyjoy."

"Family my Aunt Daenarys Targaryen." She removes her hood and greets them all, "And this is Prince Quentyn Martell of Sunspear. Lord Jon Connington."

Before they are taken to their rooms Aegon presents his family with gifts. He gives his Uncle a new set of armor with a wolf emblazoned on the chest. Wolf-heads on the shoulders pads as well; along with a barrel of Arbor gold. He gives Lady Catelyn a jeweled necklace of ruby and gold with lace for a clothes. He presents Robb with a Horse bred by Willas Tyrell, a set of new armor with wolf-heads on it, and a Valyrian sword. To Sansa he gives jewelry, lace, and some books from the east. Arya receives a dagger of Valyrian steel, a new bow and a horse with saddle. The two youngest Starks receive lots of toys and to Theon he gives a certificate of ownership for a galley ship called the Craken.

DAENARYS

The cold does not bother her because of her Targaryen blood. And Daenarys found Winterfell to be intimidating, yet plain, not like the castle of the Reach or Dorne. During her trip she had trained with Aegon and put up with Prince Ouentyn's overtures and attempts to win her affections. He is a confident young man and competent in many things especially the martial arts, but he is not her destiny, because she had seen her true love in the flames.

Her destiny was in the East and she is to forge her own Kingdom by Fire and Blood. After she is settled Arya takes her on a tour of Winterfell. She especially liked the underground springs and skinny-dipped. "Your brother was right about you." Dany says when Arya joins her.

When she returns to her room Aegon is waiting. "How are things with you and Prince Quentyn?"

"Why do you ask?"

"I saw us having this conversation. I could not tell what was said, but it needed to happen."

She sighs, "He is not my destiny. My destiny is in the East…So is my Kingdom."

He nods, "Jon Connington was sent by Ilyrio Mopatis to gain my trust and get in my ear about Mopatis' daughter Rhaenys. He is trying to pass her off as Princess Elia's daughter. I will send Jon back to Mopatis Island to kidnap the girl and hold her for ransom…Mopatis will use his wealth to buy you an army."

"Not until I have helped you win the Iron Throne."

He nods, "Not until then. We will use my brother's wedding to introduce ourselves to the Lords of the North…Hoster Tully and his son are coming as well."

"What of our Dragons? Are they alright?"

He nods, "I warged them after I got settled. They are fine and have made it to the Mountains North of the Wolf's Wood. No one will see or bother them there."

The next day Dany broke her fast and attended lessons with Aegon. Then Dany, Aegon, Robb, Arya, Theon, Bran, Rickon, and Quentyn head to the yard for training. Dany beats Robb and Theon, she and Arya are evenly matched and their duel ends in a draw. She is shocked when Sansa and Margaery join them for archery.

"Lady Sansa you do archery?"

She nods picks up her bow nocks an arrow and fires hitting the bullseye. She smiles, "My little sister convinced me."

"And you Margaery?"

"After we finished our embroidery Sansa said she was going to practice…I decided to join."

AEGON

He meets privately with his Uncle, Robb, Quentyn, and Jon. "When will you strike?" Ned asks.

"A year and half from now. By then Our Dragons will be old enough."

"You aren't planning to burn Castles and people?"

"Only if I have to Uncle. Only those who refuse to bend the knee or if I feel a castle can't be taken with minimal bloodshed."

He sighs, "You know Cersei has had another child for Robert. A natural born child. A true Baratheon."

He nods. "I know…It changes nothing. Robert will go to the wall Uncle…You have my word. Joffrey, will go to the Maesters, Myrcella, and Tommen the Lannisters after they forsake the Baratheon name."
