Before you start the chapter I want you to warn that this story will have a lot of magic, especially regarding one character.


Chapter 5 Dreams

289 AC

Jon woke up in a dark room and saw that there was a small lying child next to him. She was the most beautiful girl he has ever seen. Silver hair and pouty lips.

He saw that she was waking up. Surprised and frightened, she retreats immediately, but fall out of bed.

"Who are you and why are you in my dreams?" Asked the girl.

"I would like to ask you the same question," he replied. "I am Jon. What's your name?"

He saw her thinking, then answered "Dany."

"A beautiful name. Do you want to be my friend, Dany? "

She blushed and responded "I've never had a friend. Apart from my brother and Ser Willem."

"Neither do I" and held out his hand. She waited for a moment and when she touched his hand to hold him he felt something, like a bond.

"Did you hear that too?" Jon asked.

"Yes. What was it?"

"I don't know. It was almost like we were connected," but he saw her start to disappear.

"Wait, don't go," Jon said starting to cry.

"I'm sorry but I have to wake up. My brother calls me."

"I will see you again?"

"I don't know" and she disappeared.

Jon woke up in his room and didn't know what had happened.


Pentos

"Remember to always look at the eyes, Jon," said Arthur "The words and gestures can be deceiving as if to fake a move. But not the eyes."

Jon was looking at him, and tried to parry, with that little strength that he has. Obviously, Arthur didn't use all his strength, and the sword that Jon used was not really very light, but he was still very good.

One thing that Arthur noticed, since he started teaching him, 5 months ago, is that Jon was a quick learner.

As soon as he showed him a move he already memorized it and the next time he knew it very well. And he was a good observant.

When Arthur trained alone he sometimes saw him out of the corner of his eye that he looked at him attentively but without giving in seeing, and this was a good quality for a king.

After the training, Arthur knew that Jon had lessons with Ashara.

"That's enough for today, Jon. Now go get some rest and then, after eating you will have to start studying with Ashara ."

"Yes, Arthi."

When Jon left, Arthur saw Torrhen come near.

"The little one is really talented with the sword, even at such a tender age," said Torrhen, then added with a smirk "one day he will become even better than you."

Arthur laughed. "Yes, he's a quick learner, and not just for what concerns the sword. Even with studies."

"It's because your sister is a very patient woman. The old masters of Westeros are more severe," he said.

Arthur nodded, remembering the lessons, although he had more interest for the sword than for the books.

"I have good news, Arthur. The Golden Company has reunited. I would say it's time to take the lead. Challenge Strickland to a duel, for the command of the army. Gather the captains and tell them the truth. And if any of them didn't agree and should challenge you, kill them. Men don't care who leads them. They care only about the gold and that they are paid. "

"You are right. Where did you say the Company is located? "

"Their camp is situated between Pentos and Myr, near the coasts."

"Good. We'll leave in tow days. Will you come with us? "

"Obviously. After all, you will always need an extra sword. "

"I thought you didn't sell your sword for money anymore," said Arthur smirking.

"I'm not selling it, in fact. I'm offering it. I believe the child will be a great King and that his cause will be just."

"Thank you, Torrhen. I always knew you were a good man, despite your status."


Study room….

Jon was with Ashara in the studying room, and at one point he said, leaping his feet " I have a new friend, Ashe."

"Really!" said Ashara, smiling. "And what's her name?"

"Her name is Dany. A beautiful girl with silver hair and purple eyes. "

A Targaryen, Ashara thinks between herself. "And where did you meet this little girl?"

"In my dreams."

Now she understood. It seemed strange to her, because all the Targaryen, except him, were dead.

"I believe it was a Targaryen. According to the books that Arthi gave me, purple eyes and silvery hair are their characteristics, " Jon said, and then, turning to her, he asks "Ashe, are there still Targaryen alive?"

"For what I know, no. But in our dreams, thanks to our imagination, our friends can look like anything, "Ashara said, trying to lie. "Now keep studying, Jon."


After Jon finished his lesson, Arthur went to his sister "Ashara, we are leaving in two days. Torrhen told me that the Golden Company is camped near the coast, between Pentos and Myr. We must not waste time.

"Good. I'll prepare Jon's things. A letter has arrived from Lord Varys."

Arthur took it and read it.

My friend,

Apparently, some dragons managed to escape the stone and hide in Braavos.

The Stag intends to send assassins to kill them.

But as you know we must protect the boy, and the Golden Company is reunited. They could find other contracts and split up again. That's why I advise you not to go to Braavos. Go to the Golden Company, before is to late.

Wait for my news

Varys

"Apparently Viserys and the newborn, which is now of Jon's age, are alive."

Ashara was shocked and said "Jon told me today that he met a Targaryen girl in his dreams. Her name was Dany. Maybe they are connected. What are you going to do, Arthur? "

"Proceed with the plan. Go to the Golden Company. If I went to Braavos and someone recognized me I could no longer protect Jon. "Answered Arthur. Then thinking he said, "But I could send Torrhen, so you can try to save them. The problem is that he has never seen the Targaryen children, and I don't know how the child looks like, apart for the hair. "

Ashara nodded.

"I have to deliver a letter to someone. Tell Torrhen that I have to talk to him," Arthur said and left.


At the port

One-hour later...

Arthur saw someone in noble attire, with a white merman brooch, and he was sure it was Wylis Manderly. "Lord Manderly, I suppose."

He turned around "Yes. How can I help? "

"I have a letter for Lord Stark." Arthur handed it to him "Nobody has to read it apart from Lord Stark."

Willys nodded.

Returning to the house, Arthur saw that Torrhen was waiting for him.

"I heard you have a job for me."

"Yes, you have to go to Braavos and try to save two Targaryens. They are in a house with a red door."

"Great clue Arthur. There will be a lot of houses with red doors."

"The house belongs to Darry. Ask about this name, and maybe someone will show you the place."

Torrhen nodded and said, "But I can't promise you I'll be able to find the children, or I'll be able to save them."

"I trust you. I know you will do everything you can."


King's Landing

Robert entered the small council chamber furiously.

"Let's start."

"As you know Ironborn are in open rebellion, but I've already sent a crow to Lord Stark asking him to call the banners," Jon said.

Robert nodded. He couldn't believe that the Greyjoy dared to rebel, after what happened to the Targaryens.

"Good. What other news? " Robert asked and heard Baelish speak.

"I have bad news from Baavos, your grace. The Targaryen children are alive. "

"Alive!" shoots Robert "But Stannis said he found their shipwrecked and all aboard, dead"

"Your grace, we cannot know for sure. "They are only rumors," Varys said.

"They may be rumors, but Willem Darry was at Dragonstone the day Queen Rhaella died," said Baelish.

"Send assassins. I want them dead and burned. And bring me Darry's head," Robert said, raising his voice.

"Yes, my king."

"If there is nothing else, start the preparations for the war."

"Yes, my king."

Leaving the room, Robert headed for the room of his first son, Orys.

Orys was just like him when he was a child. And he also had a passion for the war hammer. In fact, his first word was 'hammer'. He had the makings of a warrior, and Robert was very proud of it.

He couldn't say the same about his second son Joffrey who was a Lannister, from head to toe. He was not a warrior and was always attached to his mother's skirt.

When he saw him, Orys shoots "Father!" , running to him

"Orys. Boy, how are you? "Robert asked, picking him up, only to notice that on the floor there was the wooden war hammer he had given him for his birthday." Are you training? "Asked Robert smiling and putting him down.

Orys ran, took the hammer and started to spin it around.

Seeing him with how much passion he spin the hammer, Robert, laughing, said "You will become a great warrior."

Back in his study, he saw that Jon was waiting for him.

"Jon," said Robert, smiling.

"Your grace."

"Come on, Jon. You know you don't have to call me that when we're in private. What brings you to my studio? I thought we had said everything, during the meeting of the small council. "

"I know, Robert, but this is a delicate situation and considering the rebellion that is taking place by the Ironborn, we must speak immediately."

Robert sighed "What's it about, Jon?"

"It's about your son's betrothal, Orys."

"I said we'll wait for Ned's daughter to grow up."

"I know you said that. And I respect that, but I have to ask for other options. More advantageous. You know you and Ned are like children to me, but you have to think about the good of the realm and not the friendship. Ned will be loyal to you forever, but it cannot be said of others. "

Robert thought for a moment and asked, "Who did you have in mind?"

"I was thinking initially of the Martell ..."

"No! They want my head and are at odds with the Lannisters."

"I knew you would have refused and that's why I then thought of the Tyrell. They have a young daughter who is a year older than Orys. And above all the Tyrell are the second family with a large army after the Lannisters, and above all, they have the grain, which we will need for the winter, that will come."

Robert begun to think, they were good arguments, but he had always had the dream of uniting Stark and Baratheon. Perhaps he will offer Ned his marriage to his second son Joffrey. She will not become a queen, but she will still be part of the crown family "I have to think about it before I decide. Jon, how soon will the army be ready? "

"A week."

"Good. You can go."

Jon bowed and left.

Robert sighed and drink a jug of wine 'I need some fun,' he said to himself, getting up and heading towards the room where surely some whore is waiting for him. Baelish knows what he liked.


Winterfell

Eddard was in his solar and saw Maester Luwin enter.

"A raven has arrived, my lord. From King's Landing. And an anonymous letter from Lord Manderly. "

The first called the banners to the war. It was already time to leave and fight against the Greyjoys. But it was the second letter that he attended the most. News of his nephew.

"Maester Luwin, call the banners."

"Yes my lord." He bowed and left.

Ned opens the second letter.

Lord Stark,

And with great joy, I tell you that our hope is growing, strong for every day that passes.

He has a talent for the sword and I'm sure he will one day become a great warrior. For every day that passes he looks more and more like her, and only for the close friends who have known the prince well, they will find similarities in him.

I have received news that the Golden Company has met and is camped on the coasts between Pentos and Myr.

I intend to go there and get the army commando, challenging Strickland to a duel. And when Jon reaches the right age and has proved his worth, I will hand him the command to him.

I hope you still remember what I asked you five years ago, and my congratulations on the birth of your children.

Best Regards

A.D

He put the letter on the desk and was smiling to himself.

His nephew will be six years old now, like Robb. Who knows, maybe they will become good friends in the future. Eddard really hoped so.

Thinking of his nephew he asked himself a lot of questions, and he can't wait to meet him. But he knew that he can't, for now.

He will have to show this letter to Benjen when he arrives near Mott Caillin before embarking for the Iron Islands.

Benjen. He also has a child on the way. It took a while to get him married but now he is happy and even his wife, who chose him was not bad. Alysanne Hightower. Her father gave 2,000 men for the Mott Caillin garrison, money and grain as a dowry for his daughter, and Eddard did the same. Now Benjen commanded 4,000 men without counting the castle's servants.

Eddard knew that Mace Tyrell did not inspire much loyalty, and he chose one of the most powerful families, and that had a larger army so that his nephew had allies when he returned. Initially, he thought about the Tarly, but they had no available daughters or sisters.

Leaning against the chair he sighed. Robert will certainly ask for a betrothal between Orys and Sansa, and he didn't know what he would say, but he knew he would find an excuse. After all his Sansa was still little for that.
