Rhaenys Targaryen
When they entered the hall with her whole family, her little brother was with them, and those who took him away from them would pay.
When father announced that the traitor was Lord Eddard Stark, she had her hand on the hilt of her short sword, ready to protect Jae. Her uncle Oberyn has told her always to be prepared for everything.
When the whore dared to call Jae a liar, she wanted to burn her alive right there and then along with her stupid family of fishes.
She looked at everyone's reaction about the existence of Jae, but mostly she was glancing at The North. She noticed the little girl was about to cry, but she didn't felt bad for her.
They let Jaehaerys suffer in their own home for 11 years. There will be no Mercy from us, she thought and looked at her brother, who was confronting the fish whore and the stupid lord from The North.
When Lord Stark shouted that it was all a lie, she wanted to get up and rip out his tongue and make him eat it but then . . .
When she heard that roar, she didn't feel scared or concerned. No, she felt happy and joyful like never before.
Looking at her brother now, she felt happy, pleased. She couldn't wait until she could ask him for a ride in the dragon. The only thing which bothered her was that he didn't tell her.
Did he not trust me with the truth?
Rhaenys asked herself but looking at her father's reaction, and she could see he already knew about the dragon and kept it a secret.
Looking around her, she could see the lords were scared, and that put a smirk on her face. Looking at Dany, she seemed very happy and probably thinking the same thing as her. Egg looked to feel the same except Viserys, who looked jealous.
When father told the punishment of Lord Stark, she was happy, she wanted him to die, but this way, he would suffer the same way Jae suffered for 11 years. When the little girl started begging Jae, she wanted to yell at her and remind her how much her monster father and mother treated my brother.
And if that wasn't enough, the whore had tried to kill her brother. Rhaenys hoped father would decide to execute the whore. She didn't deserve to live.
What she found strange was how Lord Tully confessed his treason and looking around, she could see she wasn't the only one. His voice, when he admitted, his voice was emotionless, almost like he was a doll.
After father revealed that the fishes would lose their seat as Lord Paramount and Lord Tywin straight up refused, She wanted to get up and be close to Jae and support against all these stupid lords, but when he threatened Lord Tywin, she felt something strange. And when she noticed the hungry eyes of The Tyrells.
He will never be yours
After the decision was made for the Tully, she thought this was over, but it wasn't.
Dacey Mormont
When she entered the hall and saw Jon Snow sit with the royal family and Ned had lost all the color of his face and looked at the ground rather than at the king when the traitor was revealed to be Lord Stark, she wasn't sure what to think, he was her lord. It was her duty to be against what the king was saying but, what she had witnessed since she meets Ned in White Harbor, how he was so against Jon Snow and looked blind that his heir was spending so much time with the Greyjoy.
She barely knew Jon Snow, but he didn't look like someone who caused problems. No, he looked like a calm kid and smart.
She and many other lords noticed how Jon Snow would look at Lord Stark. He wasn't looking at him like he was his father. He was looking at him like he was his sworn enemy and looked ready to unleash Winter at him at any moment.
And Robb Stark was spending the whole time with the Greyjoy. Dacey, SmallJon, and even Domeric Bolton had tried to talk to him and get him away from the Greyjoy, but he looked not to want any of their companies.
During The Melee, she noticed Jon was staying with The Royal Family, and she knew there must be something to that.
When the king revealed that Jon Snow was his lost son, Prince Jaehaerys Targaryen, she sighed in disappointment and understood everything. It all made sense now. The Prince hated Lord Stark because he stole him away from his family.
But when the Prince revealed how Lord Stark and Lady Southern treated him. She wasn't sure what to think anymore. Lord Stark has betrayed his own family, and she couldn't understand why. He was a shame to House Stark. First, he builds a sept in the Heart of The North. Now he treated his nephew like dirt for no reason.
And I was blaming the Greyjoy and Lady Southern for Robb Stark being like that, she thought bitterly.
Robb Stark was going to be their Warden, and she wasn't looking forward to that, and neither were any of the other lords. No one looked happy with how Robb Stark was.
Dacey's mind went to Bran Stark, she didn't spend time with him, but he didn't look like his brother, and he was still a kid. He could be taught the real ways of the North and become a Good Warden.
She just hoped that Robb Stark wouldn't try something very foolish like starting a war. Prince Jaehaerys has a Dragon, A big One.
She wouldn't fight for him if it came to that.
Elia Martell Targaryen
She was so happy to know that her son had a dragon. Now she understood why Rhaegar told her not to worry about war. Looking at the scared faces of the lords brought a smile to her face.
She was glad The Tully's were removed as Lord Paramount of Riverlands, but her mind was at what Lord Tully confessed, the whore had told her brother to kill her son.
No, Sending her to silent sisters is mercy. She doesn't deserve to live, Elia thought and touched Rhaegar's hand to get his attention.
He leaned closer. "She tried to kill our son," she said quietly but still furious.
"I know, and I'm going to bring that up right now," Rhaegar whispered and turned to the lords.
"Lady Stark, from what your brother said himself, you told him to send cutthroats after my son," Rhaegar said and trying very hard to keep his calm.
Everyone turned their eyes to her. She was looking furious and sending hard looks at her son. She wanted to kill her. She didn't deserve ever to draw breath.
Elia noticed. Jae had a small smirk on his face, and that looked to made Lady Whore lose control and not care what she says.
"HE IS Lying. HE DESERVES TO DIE, and THIS IS ALL A LIE, I don't REGRET SENDING KILLERS AFTER HIM, I SHOULD HAVE THROWN HIM FROM THE WINDOW THE MOMENT I SAW HIM" she yelled at the top of her lungs and Elia looked at Jae who opened his eyes and had a small smile on his face.
The whole hall was dead silent. Everyone looked shocked except Jaehaerys, who looked to have been expecting that. Lord Stark looked at his wife with an open mouth, and Lady Stark herself looked to be lost. The Stark children were crying, especially the little boy who was crying on his sister's shoulder. Elia was ready to yell at her, but Rhaegar raised his hand, "Lady Catelyn Tully, for treason against the crown. You will be executed for treason," Rhaegar announced, and everyone in the hall looked to agree with his decision except for the children of House Stark, who looked both shocked by their mother's outburst and saddened.
"Take Them Away," Rhaegar shouted, and Lord Stark, Lady Stark, Lord Reed, and Lord Tully were taken away.
The hall looked as the lords were sent away, and everyone turns to the king again.
"The Meeting has Ended, you all return to your rooms, and we will start The Joust after a week," Rhaegar announced, and everyone turned to leave.
And she and her whole family start walking towards the door to go to Rhaegar's solar except Jae, who began walking towards the door which leads outside. "Jae, where are you going?" Rhaegar asked him, but he didn't turn around. Instead, he left, and everyone follows him outside.
"Jae, What's Wrong?" Rhaenys asked, concerned, but he opened the door to be outside the castle. She saw the dragon just outside the walls of Harrenhal.
Rhaegar Targaryen
When he saw the size of that dragon, he was huge, and every lord outside was starring at him as well, many with fear in their eyes, but Rhaegar wasn't afraid. The dragon was magnificent in a horrific way. The color dark as night and was just huge, Rhaegar had read many books about the dragons of Old Valyria and the size of them, but this one was just huge, definitely more massive than Balerion The Black Dread.
"I have to go somewhere. I will return soon," Jae said, making Rhaegar turn to him.
"Where are you going?" He asked, concerned.
"Don't worry, father, I will be safe. I will bring a gift," he responded, and Jae got a confused look from all his family. He just smiled and started walking away, followed by Arthur.
Rhaegar decided to follow him. He wanted to see that dragon from closer. He starts walking forward, followed by his whole family and Kings Guard, and more than twenty men.
When they reached the gate, Rhaegar noticed many of the archers were prepared to use their bows, but that was pointless against a dragon-like that one.
"Open The Gate," Rhaegar ordered, and the gates were opened, and Jae walks outside, soon joined by Winter.
They got at least 100 meters away from Bloodfyre, and they stopped walking forward. And Jae reached the dragon, but he was looking at him with his green eyes like wildfire.
Looking at him from closer made him look more massive and dangerous. Jae was touching his head, and the dragon purred to his touch like he was some cat. That made Rhaegar smile, but he knew the dragon was wary of them and would protect Jae even from them.
Rhaegar noticed all his Kings Guards except Arthur looked very tense and their hands on their swords' hilt.
He saw from the corner of his eyes, Egg, Rhaenys, and Dany were taking a step forward and possibly thinking to get much closer, taking that step and the dragon's gaze go to them immediately and looking at them.
Rhaegar noticed Jae said something to the dragon, and he seemed to relax. Egg took a step back but not Dany and Rhaenys, who looked to want to get closer.
"I will come back soon," Jae said and climbs on the dragon, and the dragon spreads his wings and starts flying away.
Rhaegar had seen many beautiful things in his life, many beautiful places, but this one was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen.
Rhaegar noticed Rhaenys looked proud and happy, and so was Dany and Egg, and Viserys seemed very angry and jealous.
He was returning to his solar with his family except for Viserys, who went to a brothel to calm himself down.
They reached his solar, and everyone had different emotions on their faces.
Rhaegar looked at everyone's faces and waiting to see who would talk first.
"You knew about the dragon?" Rhaenys asked, looking at him. She looked betrayed and filled a glass with wine, and so does Elia and his mother. Egg was just sitting on his chair and looking at the others. Dany looked in a world of her own.
Rhaegar sits on his chair and decides to drink a glass of wine himself. "I knew," he responded quietly, looking at everyone.
Elia didn't care that much that he kept it hidden. She looked happy that Jae has a dragon.
"Rhaenys, are you angry with Jae?" Rhaegar asked, noticing her face.
"I'm not angry . . . I just . . . Did Jae not trust me with the truth about the dragon?" She asked and looking at her glass of wine.
"Is not about that Rhaenys, the problem is that, Jae, has spent his life, with people who hated him, now he's with us, but I know very well that a side of Jae was afraid that we would turn out to be just like House Stark, he wanted to know if we would be a good family or would we be just another false family" Rhaegar responded and saw sadness filling her, Aegon and Dany's face.
"I understand, father, he won't have to worry about anything. He's a perfect brother," Egg responded, smiling at him.
Rhaegar smiled proudly. "Yes, he is. He's a better brother than you, Egg," Rhaenys responded with a shy smile, which seemed to make Egg angry.
Rhaegar's eyes go to his quiet mother. "Mother, what do you think about the dragon?" Rhaegar asked and saw his mother was thinking about his question.
"I think we're lucky to have it, that removes anyone's thoughts about starting a rebellion, but now the lords of Westeros, if needed, will drag their daughters, in the hopes to have their grandchildren, dragon riders," she responded. Rhaegar noticed Rhaenys tightened her grip around her glass, and Dany had a frown on her face.
Rhaegar hated to admit, but that was true, and having a dragon and perhaps more dragons in the future raised a problem.
Rhaegar stopped the Targaryen ways of brother/sister marriage because he was sure the dragons would not return, and he needed to heal the seven kingdoms.
But now Jaehaerys has a dragon, and for the dragon to be controlled after his death, his children must have Targaryen blood to control it.
Rhaegar runs his hand through his hair in frustration. He completely forgot about this and now wasn't sure what to even think. He would need to talk with Elia and his mother about this problem.
Looking at them, he thought that maybe a marriage between Daenerys and Jaehaerys was the best option, but that needed to wait for now, and he needed to talk about it with Elia and Mother.
"The dragons should not belong to any other family except Targaryens," Rhaenys said, looking at Elia then looking at Rhaegar.
"What are you saying, Rhaenys?" Elia asked with a raised eyebrow.
"I'm . . . Nothing," she responded and lowering her eyes and looking at her wine.
"We will talk later about that, and now I want to go and eat," his mother said, changing the subject and everyone nodded in agreement.
Olenna Tyrell
After returning to their rooms, Olenna told her whole family here to gather for a meeting, this new prince, she needed to know more about him and, if possible, to see any way that prince would marry Margaery, but she needed to learn more about the prince first.
Olenna sits in her room, waiting for her family to come. She pours wine in her goblet and takes a sip, and thinks about this.
A Dragon, That's a Huge Power to let slip away, she thought and took another sip.
From what she could see from the prince while she was in the hall, he was the serious type, and if he was treated like that, she couldn't really blame him. When he threatened Lord Tywin in front of everyone, she knew this one was brutal too. He threatened with a serious tone and didn't look like he was making empty threats.
She knew the crown hates the Lannister, so she was sure they wouldn't marry. The prince to Tywin's granddaughter and House Stark was out of the table. Stannis's girl is way too young, leaving only her Margaery, Princess Arianna of Dorne, and daughters from secondary houses but not from Lord Paramounts.
The door opens, and her son with Alice, followed by Willas, Margaery, Garland, and Loras, walks inside. She waits until they take their place to sit. Her Golden rose sits lasts, and they all look at her.
"Well, what is it, mother?" Her son asked with a confused look. Glancing at the others, she knew everyone else knew why she gathered them here.
"We need to talk about the new prince, Mace," she responded with a tired tone.
"Why should we talk about him?" He asked back, and Olenna blinked once and twice, "We need because the new prince has a giant dragon behind his back," She responded, annoyed, just looking as his face got more confused.
"Won't the prince hand the dragon to the crown prince," he responded, confused, and she fought the urge to slap herself.
"Seriously, Mace, sometimes I wonder if I really give birth to you and not someone else," she responded with a higher tone and looked at Alice.
"It doesn't work like that, father; the dragon won't just change the rider. That dragon belongs to Prince Jaehaerys" it was Willas who answered. Olenna smiled at him.
At least one of my grandsons is not a fool
Her son still didn't seem to understand, but she decided to talk, "The new prince is something we can't just let slip away, a dragon is a huge power, and right now it belongs to Prince Jaehaerys," she responded and looking at Margaery.
"What do you think we should do?" Loras asked, looking at her.
"What I want is to know more about him, about his personality," she responded and looked at Loras.
"That's why Loras, I want you to be a squire for one of the King's Guard. I want you to spend time with him, be friends with him, tell us more about the prince, and talk to him about Margaery," she responded, and Mace and Loras look at her confused.
Mace was about to talk when she raised her hand. "No talking, Mace, that dragon makes the difference between keeping the power and losing it," she responded, and despite not understanding, he nodded in agreement.
"Everyone leaves except Margaery," she said, and everyone gets up and leaves the room.
Margaery turns to her. "I want you to meet Prince Aegon tomorrow, and there's a high possibility that Prince Jaehaerys will be with him. Try to know more but without raising suspicions," she said seriously snd Margaery nodded in understanding.
"What if he's interested in other girls?" She asked.
"You're the most beautiful girl in Westeros, and soon you will be a woman grown. All men think with their dicks" Olenna responded, and Margaery nodded her head.
Jaime Lannister
He was making his way to meet his father. Soon after the meeting ended, Tyrion came to him, saying his father wanted to talk to him. He already knew what and wasn't sure how to answer.
Despite not liking Edmure, Jaime didn't like what happened to his sister. House Lannister has been insulted now more than ever before.
But he couldn't really blame the king. Edmure had sent assassins after a little kid, he was just a kid and yet try to kill him for no reason, and now that kid is a secret prince and has a giant fucking dragon.
When the king made his way to the dragon, Jaime was convinced the dragon would eat one of them as a snack.
Looking at him from closer made him look more vast and dangerous. Jaime now knew why the old Targaryen said that they don't answer to neither god nor men.
He knew his father wouldn't let this insult pass. This was an insult to his sister, too, and his nephews and niece. Tyrion was following him, and he was quiet the whole time, which was something he wasn't used to.
Jaime reaches the door and opens it and finding Cersei and his father waiting there for him.
His father looked furious, but he kept his calm, while Cersei looked ready to explode at any moment. Tyrion closed the door behind him and went to sit in a chair close to their father.
"Well, tell me about your excuse. I'm waiting," his father said sarcastically, and Jaime looks at him confused.
"Excuse for what?" Jaime asked, and his sister shots him a deadly glare.
"Why didn't you tell me about the secret prince and the bloody dragon?" His father asked, raising his tone looking at him with an angry look.
"I didn't know," he simply responded, and his father shook his head in disappointment.
His father looks at him as he had grown a second head. "You're a King's Guard, and you had no idea about the prince or the prince," he responded, and his eyes go to Cersei.
"They don't talk important things with me, and by the reaction of the royal family, I don't think anyone else except the king knew about his existence," Jaime responded, and his father looked to be thinking about something.
"Jaime, I want you to spend time with the new prince. I want to know more about him," he said, and Jaime sighed.
"Why do you think the prince would care to spend time with me? I have heard Ser Arthur protects him," Jaime responded.
"That might be true, but he's still only a kid. You can start by showing him new moves," it was Tyrion who responded.
His father looks at him, waiting for his response. "Very well, I will try," Jaime responded and sighed in defeat.
"Good. Do your job well. I won't let this insult go away so easily," His father growled, and Jaime didn't like that.
Jaehaerys Targaryen - Later
While he was flying back to Harrenhal, he was thinking about what happened today. His mind kept going back to Arya and Bran.
I ruined their lives. Their parents are gone because of me, Jae thought.
He Stole you from your family and treated you horribly, another voice said in his head, and he agreed with that.
But still, he couldn't help but think if there was any way to have returned to his family without causing harm to Arya and Bran, but he just knew that was just a foolish thing to think.
"He treated you like dirt. He let everyone mistreated you. He doesn't deserve mercy," Bloodfyre said.
Jae knew he was right, and he was feeling the fire in his chest and eyes again and his memories going back of how many times he was hungry while their precious children would eat the best food.
Arya should understand what her father and mother have done. If she doesn't, then maybe she isn't that good of a sister as I thought
He returned to Harrenhal and landed Bloodfyre outside the castle walls and far enough, in case one of the archers wanted to practice his aim.
He jumped from Bloodfyre, and he opened his mouth. Jae still couldn't believe that his way to carry his eggs was to put them in his mouth. When he did that, he thought Bloodfyre would eat them, but thankfully, that wasn't the case.
Jae removed his first cloth and layed on the ground, put the eggs over the fabric, and used it to carry the eggs.
"Jaehaerys, the white dragon is beyond the wall," Bloodfyre said, looking at him.
Jae turns to him, "Why do you think he's there?" Jae asked, curious.
"I don't know, and she must really like the cold," Bloodfyre responded and raised his head towards the north and roars.
"Do you think she might be an ice dragon?"
Jae asked, and looking at the direction, Bloodfyre was looking.
"She might be, but if she is, where did she come from, I don't remember ever feeling her ever before," Bloodfyre responded and turns to his eggs.
"I know. Do you think we should give her a visit?" Jae asked.
"We do that. Only if we want to fight with her, she doesn't want to meet us yet," Bloodfyre responded and smelling the eggs.
Jae nodded in agreement and started carrying the eggs away, and they were too heavy. After he gets closer to the wall, Winter comes to him and starts licking his hands. "Hey, Good Girl," he said and petting her head.
Jae then reaches the gates and finds Ser Barristan and Ser Arthur waiting there for him.
They smile when they noticed him and starts walking towards him.
"Your grace," they both said and bowed their heads in respect. Jae puts down the cloth where he put the eggs and looks at them.
"None of that, your grace shit," he responded, and Arthur chuckle at that, and Barristan looked surprised.
"Your father was worried for you," Arthur said and looking at the clothing in the ground, which looked like a bag.
"I will meet with them soon, but I need to meet The Starks first," he responded, and both of them looked to want to disagree with that.
He raised his hand to silence them. "I know, but I need to meet them, especially Arya, and Winter will be with me," Arthur sighed in defeat.
"Ser Arthur, can you carry this to my room and don't let anyone look what's inside, not even you" Jae responded, and Arthur looked surprised but still carries the cloth with eggs behind his back.
Jae starts walking towards where The North lords stayed and were followed by Ser Barristan and Winter.
He reached the tents and noticed the soldiers glaring at him with apparent hatred. Ser Barristan noticed that, and his hand was on the hilt of the sword.
He was stopped by the entrance. "What do you want, Bastard?" The soldier asked mockingly, and Winter jumped on him, and Ser Barristan unsheathed his sword. The soldier was frozen in place by fear from Winter.
"Next time you call me bastard, Winter won't stop," Jae said with a threatening tone and looking at the other soldiers who looked scared of him. Winter moves away from the soldier in the ground, and the tent opens to reveal a woman and a few lords of The North.
"Everyone stands down and back away," the woman ordered, and they walk away.
"Your grace is good to see you again," she said, smiling and looking at him with respect.
Three of the lords were looking at him, furious and Jae thought they might attack him.
"What do you want?" One of the lords asked with a stern tone, which made Winter growl at him.
"I'm here to see my cousins," Jae responded, looking at him without flinching or showing any sign of fear.
"Alright, follow me," The lady said. Jae noticed the lords looked ready to protest, but Jae walks inside and doesn't care, followed by Ser Barristan and Winter.
He enters the tent and finds all his cousins were awake. Close to them was a lord who looked like a giant.
Bran turns his eyes to him, "Jon," he screams and runs to him and hugs his legs.
"Go away from him, Bran," Robb growled, looking at him furiously.
Bran looks at him confused but doesn't go away from his legs.
"How are you, Bran?" Jae asked, grabbing Bran in his hands and hugging him.
"Father and mother, where are they?" Bran asked, pulling away and looking at him.
Jae sighed and put him on the ground and looks at Robb, who was shooting him deadly glares. Sansa's eyes were red from crying, and she was lying on her bed and was looking at the ground.
Jae then noticed the crib where Rickon was sleeping, and Jae sees Arya, who had boxed herself in the bed, hugging her legs and looking at the ground and not looking at anyone else. Her eyes were red from crying and in her bed was a wooden sword.
Jae slowly walks close to her, and she seemed ready to cry again, the closer he got.
"Arya," "GO AWAY, I HATE YOU" She screamed at him, angry and feeling betrayed by Jaehaerys.
Jae looks at her with a saddened face. "Arya," Jae called her again. "No, DON'T TALK TO ME. I HATE YOU, JON," She Screamed again, not looking at his face.
Jae tried to touch her shoulder, but she crawls to the far side of the bed and stares at the other side, hugging her legs and tears streaming down.
Jae sighed sadly. "You're my sister Arya. You will always be. You were the only one who loved me in Winterfell. I love you, Arya," Jae said quietly, and tears in his eyes but not letting them roll down. Arya doesn't respond to that and just looked to try her hardest not to cry, but she couldn't stop.
Jae quickly removed his tears from his eyes and turns back and sees the lady and the giant giving him sad smiles.
"You betrayed the family of your mother," one of the lords said, disgusted and spat.
Jae felt his anger rising. "Be careful, my lord," Jae responded with a threatening tone, and the lord closed his fist tightly. Ser Barristan looked prepared to fight, and Winter starts growling.
"Lord Karstark, enough," The lady said, looking at him angrily. Lord Karstark shoots her an angry look, and Jae decides just to walk away.
Jae walks to Bran, who was looking at him tearful "I love you, little brother," Jae said and kissed his cheek, and Jae walks away.
"Your grace," Jae heard the lady call him when he left the tent.
He turns to her, "Yes, Lady" "Lady Dacey Mormont," she responded respectfully.
"In the name of the North, I'm sorry about what Lord Stark did," she said with a sad face.
Jae sighed sadly. "Yeh, me too," he responded and turned to leave.
"You're just like her. You're just like Lyanna Stark," Lady Dacey said, smiling and Jae smiled back.
"Thank You, Lady Dacey," Jaehaerys responded and walks away.
He was walking through the long corridor. His mind was racing. No matter how hard he tried, his mind would keep going back to Arya, and he couldn't stop thinking about what Arya said. Jae felt terrible for causing Arya pain. She was the only one in Winterfell who cared for him. Bran cared too, but he was still only a baby, and who knows how he would become after five years. Jae felt guilty, but he knew he couldn't blame himself for what Lord Stark did.
But a part of Jae's mind kept reminding him she will need to see my side of the story before she judges me guilty.
She needs to understand that her father made him suffer and took him away from his family. Sansa didn't look to care. She didn't even talk to him, not that Jaehaerys cared for her to say anything. He never had any friendship with Sansa, except when she was Bran's age. At the moment, she understood what a Bastard is. She ran away from him. Sansa always wanted to be the perfect lady, and spending time with bastards was not something a Lady does.
Jae remembered he had cried the whole day when Sansa had started avoiding him and not caring for him anymore.
Robb was the cocky idiot as always, and that's what worried Jae. Robb wasn't a fool, but he neither was smart and wanting to have revenge might blind him to make stupid decisions. Robb will need uncle Benjen close to help him.
Uncle Benjen might be able to help rule Winterfell until she is of age to rule.
I need to suggest that to father Jae thought.
But if it came to the worst, then Jae would use his strength. Jae would not hold back, and the kingdoms need to be reminded of what happens when you mess with the dragon.
"Fire And Blood," Bloodfyre said
"Fire And Blood," Jaehaerys responded in agreement and kept on walking.
Jae hoped Robb wouldn't be fool enough to start a rebellion or something like that. If he dared to do that, then Jae would have no mercy. He has lost all of it already.
Looking at the lords, Jae already knew House Tyrell was looking at him with lust, which annoyed Jae. He just reunited with his family, and they already want a piece of him. That showed there was someone who would stab you in the back when they get a better deal. Tywin Lannister had the same face. Jae knew he would try everything to have his claws on the power of Bloodfyre. But Jae wasn't going to give the power of dragons to anyone else except House Targaryen.
Knowing about the dragon, Jae wanted to see how his family will react to that. He hoped having Bloodfyre won't cause any problems between his family. If it did, Jae swore he would take Bloodfyre and go away somewhere.
Causing problems was the last thing he wanted.
Jae reached his bed-chamber door, and Arthur was there waiting for him. Arthur turns to him and smiles. "Jaehaerys, your family will have dinner soon. Your father asked me if you want to join them," Ser Arthur said kindly.
Jae turns to him. "Do you put the bag inside?" Jae asked, and Ser Arthur nodded his head. "Yes, Jaehaerys, and didn't see what's inside," he responded playfully.
"Thank You, Ser Arthur, and I will go to the dinner," he responded happily and saw Ser Arthur smiled happily at his answer.
"Follow me," he said, and Jae follows him behind, followed by Winter, who didn't like being inside the castle. That reminded Jae that Winter would not stay with him in Kings Landing. She was a direwolf, not an ordinary dog to keep inside, and she needed space to run and hunt. She wasn't someone you could stay inside. That would make her angry.
Jae knew he would spend less time with Winter. He just hoped she would be safe and that he could see her every day. Jae looks at Ser Arthur. "Did I scared them?" Jae asked.
Arthur turns his head to him. "No, your family wasn't afraid," he responded.
"I meant the lords, Ser Arthur," Jaehaerys added with a sly smile, and Ser Arthur smiled at the realization.
"Well, you gave the right impressions. I don't think anyone will be foolish enough to try anything," Ser Arthur responded playfully.
"That's good to know. Do you think my family might not like me having a dragon and not Aegon?" Jae asked, almost afraid.
Ser Arthur stops walking and turns to him, and gives him a reassuring smile.
"Don't worry, Jaehaerys, your family is not like that, the king is not like that, prince Aegon or anyone else is not like that," he responded and put his hand on Jae's shoulder.
Jae was thinking about what he said, and by his tone, he didn't sound like he was lying. "Thank You, Ser Arthur," Jae responded.
They start walking again, and they reach the door. Ser Arthur was about to knock when Jae just opens the door and walks inside.
His family was sitting close to a table. To his surprise, none of them was eating their food. They all turn to him and smile at him. Jae smiled back and noticed that uncle Viserys was here too.
His father and Queen Elia were sitting close to each other at the center of the table, his father was holding Queen Elia's hand on the table, and the food didn't look to have been touched. His father looked happy about something while Queen Elia looked happy too, but there was concern in her eyes.
Jaehaerys's father's right side was his grandmother, who looked serious but still smiled at Jaehaerys when she noticed him. The table close to her was a goblet filled with wine and a table with sausages, cheese, honey, the bread which looked half-eaten, and glass with milk close to the plate.
His brother hasn't touched the food, and the same for Daenerys. Rhaenys had eaten a little, and his uncle was eating the food and looking at him with a half-smile.
Jae walked forward and looked like everyone was following every move he made, and that made Jae nervous.
His father then cleared his throat, grabbing everyone's attention. Jae felt glad and sits between Rhaenys and Aegon, and Dany moved her chair closer and leaned closer to hear whatever they would say.
Sitting and Rhaenys turns her head to him, "Jae, how was it? Where were you? How does it look?" She asked multiple questions and sounded excited.
Jae was about to answer when Queen Elia cleared her throat, looking at Rhaenys with a judging look.
"Easy, Rhaenys, we talked about this," she said, looking at Rhaenys angry. She lowers her eyes in guilt and starts eating her food, and so does Aegon and Dany.
Jae was quiet, and so was everyone. It didn't take long, and the servants bring him a giant plate with food. It was the same as everyone else.
Flying with Bloodfyre made Jae felt tired.
Jae grabs the sausage with his hand and takes a bite.
It tastes delicious, Jae thought, eats a bit of bread and cheese, and helps it down with water. Despite not eating how a prince should eat, Jae saw no one from his family was looking at him with surprise or disgust. Actually, his father had a proud smile on his face.
"Jae," it was Dany's voice that called him. Jae turns to her as she was eating.
"How did it felt to fly?" She asked innocently and looking at her mother like she was asking for permission to continue.
Jae thinks about it for a few moments. "It feels like freedom, it feels like you have no problems, and sometimes it feels like you're just weightless. Looking at the world from up there is the most beautiful view," Jae responded, trying to describe as good as possible.
Dany was looking at him with awe. "To me, it helps to think, to clear my head from problems," Jaehaerys responded and couldn't help but noticed that Dany was looking at him the same way Arya used to look at him sometimes. Jae takes another bite from the sausage and a bite from the cheese.
"Do you like the food, Jae?" It was the grandmother who asked kindly, looking at him with a very warm smile. He nodded while eating the food.
"Do you feel connected to him, like with Winter?" It was Aegon who asked who had his mouth full of food and took a glance from Queen Elia.
Jae nodded his head and swallowed the food. "Is different. Bloodfyre can talk to me," Jae responded and took a confused look from everyone.
"He can talk to you?!" It was Rhaenys who asked, looking at him with both awe and confusion.
"Yes, the moment I bonded with him, he could talk to me in my mind, he knows what I feel, and he knows when I'm in danger," Jae responded, trying to explain it as better as he could. Jae didn't want his family to think he has gone mad.
His father looked convinced, and so was his family, except Dany, who looked a bit skeptical.
"Where have you been with Bloodfyre?" Rhaenys asked and moving her chair a little closer, making Jae feel nervous and blush.
"I was beyond the wall with him, and around the north and only a few places beyond The Neck," Jae responded and drinks some water.
"So, your dragon was with you beyond the wall," his grandmother commented with a sighed of relief.
Jae nodded and eats the whole sausage and bites more bread with a bit of honey.
"How did you come up with that name?" Dany asked curiously.
Jae looks at the table for a few seconds and thinks about how to answer. "Because of my childhood," Jae responded seriously and with a hint of anger and sadness in his tone. Everyone seemed to have noticed that.
His grandmother, father, and Queen Elia were looking at him with sadness.
"Where were you?" It was uncle Viserys who asked with a playful tone trying to cheer everyone.
Jae turns to him. First, he swallows the food and drinks some water.
"I was in The North, needed to get something," he responded and saw the curious look of Rhaenya.
"Bloodfyre has laid eggs," Jae added, and Dany turned her head to his direction so fast, Jae thought she might have hurt her neck.
Aegon was looking at him with awe. "Where are the eggs?" It was Queen Elia who asked with a serious tone and looking at Aegon, Rhaenys, and Dany and then turns to him.
Jaehaerys noticed her cold look and wondered if he did anything wrong. "They're in my chamber. Bloodfyre has laid four eggs," Jae responded with a low tone and looking down.
"Can they hatch?" His grandmother asked kindly and glancing at Queen Elia, who's gaze softened and looked ready to apologize.
Jae looks at her. "Yes, it will take a few days, but they will hatch on their own. No one needs to do anything until they hatch. They need to be kept in a warm place," Jaehaerys responded and remembering what happened in The Tragedy of Summerhall.
Queen Elia sighed quietly in relief, and his father puts a hand on her shoulder. "That's amazing, Jae," he said proudly.
"Brother, can I have one of them?" Aegon asked immediately and looking at him with puppy eyes.
"Yes, Bloodfyre has laid four eggs," Jae responded, and Dany and Rhaenys looked excited.
"Can we see them now?" Dany asked, looking at him then looking at her mother.
"Yes, we can tell Ser Arthur to bring them here," Jae suggested and before anyone could say anything.
"Ser Arthur, come inside," it was Rhaenys who shouted. Ser Arthur opens the door and walks inside, looking at them with a surprised look.
"Your graces," he said respectfully.
"Arthur, I want you to bring the bag here," Jae said, and Ser Arthur glance at his father, who nodded his head.
Ser Arthur leaves the room, and Rhaenys looked like she couldn't wait. After a few minutes, the door opens, and Ser Arthur walks inside with the bag behind his back. He lowers it to the ground slowly.
Jae gets up, followed by Rhaenys, Aegon, and Dany. Jae walks to the bag and opens it, and the eggs are there. Jae touches the red one and notices that they are still very warm.
"They're So Beautiful," Rhaenys shouted, touching the red one with her hands.
Dany grabs the purple one and with a bit of red.
"It's warm and slightly larger than I thought," she commented, looking at it from every corner, moving it around her hands.
"They're alive," Aegon said, grabbing the dark one and looking at it like a child who was gifted his favorite toy.
His father and Queen Elia were just looking at the eggs while his grandmother was close to Daenerys looking at the eggs.
Uncle Viserys grabs one of them and looks at it in awe.
"They need to be warm," Bloodfyre said
"They need to be warm," Jae said, looking at them. Dany nodded in agreement. "Then, I will put this in the fireplace," she said and got up and walks to the door but stops and turns to Jae. "Thank You, Jae," she said very kindly and walks to him and kisses his cheek, making Jae blush and turn his head away, trying to avoid her gaze.
Dany chuckles at his reaction, and so does everyone making Jae blush even more and turn red like the egg Dany was holding in her hands.
"Jae, Thank You, brother," Aegon said happily and was about to kiss his cheek, but Jae turned away, making Father and Queen Elia laughed out loud.
"No need for that," Jae responded, and Aegon just smiled at him.
"I want to go to sleep now," It was Aegon who said, and Dany nodded in agreement.
"Thank You, Jae," Rhaenys said, looking at him. Jae turns to her. Jae could see she wasn't faking anything. She was looking with love, and that warmed Jaehaerys's heart. She then spreads her arms and hugs him tightly. "Thank You again," she whispered and kissed his cheek.
Jae then pulls away and gets up. "I think I will go to sleep too," Jae said and walks to the door.
"Good Night," Jae said, turning to the others and opening the door and leaving followed by Ser Arthur and then joined by Winter, who had stayed in the ground of the corridor.
Jae reached his bed-chamber but noticed his father, grandfather, and Queen Elia walking towards him.
"Good Night, Jae," his father said warmly and hugged him, and so does Queen Elia and grandmother.
"Good Night," Jaehaerys responded, and his grandmother kisses him on the cheek. Jae makes a face, and she chuckles, "Good Night, Grandmother," Jae said, and Jae walks inside his room, followed by Winter.
Howland Reed
He was alone in the dark cell, his family had visited him, and he had tried very hard not to cry and look weak in front of his children. He has failed, he failed Lyanna, he failed his wife and his children, and for what.
For Nothing, a Voice whispered.
Howland knew that was the truth, he had ruined Jaehaerys's life, and now he has destroyed his children's life. They would grow up alone. Without him, he wouldn't be able to teach Jojen how to rule. He wouldn't be able to spar again with Meera. No, all that was gone.
' "Father, what should I do?" Jojen asked with tears in his eyes.
"Nothing, my son, nothing, is not their fault, is my fault," he responded and touching his little hand. Jojen looked to want to disagree.
"No, how can you say that? They're taking you away," Jojen shouted and holding his hand tighter.
Howland sighed in sadness and took a deep breath. "Listen to me, promise, promise you won't try anything against House Targaryen," Howland begged his son and hoping he would see reason.
There was complete silence for a few minutes. Jojen raises his head and looks at him. "Alright, I promise," he swore, and Howland kissed his head and sighed in relief. '
Howland closed his eyes and whipped away his tears in the eyes with his fingers and then opened them again.
Despite failing, Howland felt at peace. Jaehaerys was safe and happy now, and from what he could see, his family would be safe.
Lyanna, I did it. He's safe and happy
Howland lays in the cold bed in his cell, and he wondered if this is how Jaehaerys felt during his time in Winterfell, cold and alone.
He then hears a sound, Howland turns to the door, and the door opens slowly. Howland sees the light coming inside. He could hardly see who was holding the lantern.
"Lord Reed" It was Prince Jaehaerys's voice. Howland looks up and sees Jaehaerys looking at him with a warm look.
"How are you?" Jae asked and placed the lantern in the ground close to his legs. He sits on the floor and looks at him.
"I'm fine, My prince," Howland responded and saw Jaehaerys roll his eyes. "You can still call me Jon if you want," he responded to his surprise.
"You have always been Jaehaerys to me," Howland responded with a warm tone but could see the sadness in his eyes.
"I'm sorry ab" "I don't want to hear that," Howland interrupted him and put his hand on his little hands.
"I'm the one who should apologize, Jaehaerys, not you. I failed your mother, I failed you, I failed my family, I'm the only one who did wrong, and now I will pay for what I did," Howland added with an honest tone. Jaehaerys looked to want to disagree. "But . . . But you saved my life, and I wouldn't be alive without you," Jaehaerys responded tearfully.
Howland holds his hand tighter "Listen to me, You would have survived without me, I know you, you're a warrior, and you would never give up, if I would keep quiet, I would never forgive myself, what kind of father I would be if I keep quiet snd let another father suffer" Howland said with honestly and determination in his tone.
Jaehaerys looks to be thinking about what he said and swallows a huge breath.
"Thank You for helping me, Howland, I will never forget the first time I meet you, and when you gave me new clothes, I hold them dear and always will," Jaehaerys said quietly and crying.
Jaehaerys leans forward and hugs him, and Howland hugs him back. "Now, you protect your family, and love them and remember to be strong," Howland whispered with love in his tone.
Jae pulls away and nods his head. "Yes, Howland," he responded and got up and picks up the lantern in the ground.
"Thank You, For Everything," Jae said quietly and left the cell.
Rhaenys Targaryen
'She was in a large field, and she didn't know where she was, everywhere she could see, everywhere was covered in flowers. Rhaenys walks forward and sees Bloodfyre flying high in the sky.
"Jae," She shouted, expecting that Jae might hear her.
She then sees as Bloodfyre starts flying towards with shining green eyes like crystals, he lands in front of him, and Rhaenys noticed that Bloodfyre looked to be in a rage. Rhaenys looks up and sees Jae looking at her with fury and his eyes glowing Green like Wildfire.
Rhaenys tried to talk, but no words were coming out. Jae then speaks.
"Dracarys."
Ned Stark
He was still awake. Ned couldn't do anything else but stare at the walls of his cell. His handcuffs were hurting. Every time he tried to move his hands, he had tried to tear the part attached to the wall, but that was just a foolish thing to do.
Ned couldn't understand how this has gone so wrong. None of this was supposed to happen this way. He was supposed to take revenge for what happened to Robert, but no one supported him. Jon Arryn had just looked at him with disappointment and anger. Ned still remembers his look. Every time he closed his eyes, his children's face crying and calling for him would show, the look Jon Arry gave him but the look Jaehaerys gave him, it was her look. It was Lyanna's look, the same look she gave him when she tried to change his and father's mind about the betrothal between her and Robert.
Now, he has made everything worse, Robert would never be avenged, and his children will be ashamed by everyone. Ned has failed. He failed his children, and he failed his wife too.
Thinking about Catelyn saddened him. It was all his fault, and Ned always knew Catelyn never liked Jaehaerys and thought of him as a threat to Robb. And even after how bad she treated Jaehaerys. Ned was quiet, he never tried to change her mind or wanted to make him feel more welcome, but every time Ned looked at Jaehaerys, it reminded him of Lyanna.
Jon was supposed to be Lyanna's child with Robert, not with Rhaegar Targaryen.
But Lyanna abandoned everyone, Robert started a war for her and died for her, and now he's not remembered as a hero but as a stupid lord who rebelled.
After he was put here, Lord Karstark and lord Glover came to him.
' "We won't give up on you, Ned," Lord Karstark said proudly, but Ned could see there was a hint of disappointment behind his eyes.
Ned closed his eyes and shook his head
'There's no point,' Ned thought. "No, I want you to take care of Robb. He needs help now, more than ever, and so does my daughters and Bran and Rickon," Ned responded with sadness, but he was trying to sound firm.
"Of course, Ned," Lord Glover said with a reassuring tone.
After a minute of silence, "Ned, did you really let Lya's boy to be treated like that?" Lord Karstark asked with a doubtful tone.
Ned took a deep breath. "I didn't," he responded and was met with complete silence.
After a few moments, "We will take care of your kids," Lord Karstark said and patted him in the back. Lord Glover said the same, and they left. '
Right now, he just hoped the lords that are still loyal to him wouldn't try to fill Robb's head with stupid ideas like starting a rebellion.
Ned hoped his children would come to see him, and he wanted to see them and spend time with them as much as he could.
Ned then hears a sound. With the sound of the door opening, Ned looks up and sees the metal door opening, and light comes inside, it blinds him for a few moments, and he covers his eyes with his hand. Ned can see the light slowly going down, and the lantern was put in the ground, and Ned looks up to see who it was.
Before he could see who it was, Ned hears a voice he knew very well "Why did you do it?" It was Jaehaerys's voice and was completely emotionless, like a wall of ice was talking and not Jaehaerys.
Ned stays silent to that question as Jon slowly walks closer and looks at him with hatred. His eyes were pure green again, and he looked like he would ignite and start burning.
"Why did You Do IT?" Jaehaerys asked again, and Ned just keeps quiet.
Ned himself wasn't sure anymore, 'Was it for Robert or for his brother and father.'
He looks at Ned for a few moments and then sighed in disappointment.
"You know, because of your stupidity, your wife will die, and I will make sure she will die Screaming," Jon said with a threatening tone.
Ned's eyes widened, and he tries to move forward, but the handcuffs start hurting, "You wouldn't do That," Ned shouted but more like begging.
His green eyes looked to be glowing, and a small smile appears on his face.
"All my Mercy died five years ago," Jaehaerys responded coldly.
And he walks closer. "Lions roar, Wolf's howl at night, flowers try to grow strong, fish tries to jump too high, eagles fly high, and snakes hide in the Grass, but what are all of them to a Dragon?" Jaehaerys asked quietly and leaned closer to him.
"Ashes."
