Narcissa looked calmly at her niece as she or he now; explained about the plan she had used to make their identity, "I understand the plan and why you did it? Your plan could also work since from what you told me we have the valyrain features now, but did you thought the most important fact Delphi?" she said looking at her niece tiredly as she leaned to the hull of the ship.
"What is that Aunt Cissa?" Delphi or Delphius now asked worriedly.
"That the Targaryens would learn about it, and that won't they have knowledge about the Valyrians and the other Valyrian families? If they became interested in us and doubted our claims due to some incorrect or lapse of information then what will we do?" she asked him with a chiding look.
Delphini thought about it and the more she considered it the more her unease grew. She really hadn't thought about this, she concluded finally after some moments.
"Regardless what's done is done, we must now try to fill the unease or irregularties in our information. Don't push the talks and if they want to know more, leave the important parts" Narcissa said as she looked at Delphini with a small smile. Delphini had many qualities like Bella, both leaving out simple things which would later bite on their asses heavily.
"I understand" Delphini said sheepishly with a hand to her now silver gold hair. She rather liked the new handsome face of hers even though it was a boy, her aunt's beauty was even greater than the Veela's she had seen in magazines now. Narcissa Black had always been mostly a vain girl and this new beauty of hers did not help any.
"Did you find Lord Prince?" she asked curiously looking at her aunt.
Her aunt's mood deflated a little, "the compass points towards the direction of Sir Armand and apart from it, it shows nothing extra" she said her tone calm and collected but her eyes gave away her worry and sadness.
"The ruby has power of space and time connected with it which is the reason we are here Aunt Cissa. It might be possible that Lord Prince was flung in a time before us or will arrive later. You know they do say that Space Time Continuum is not easy to decipher" Delphini said after some moments of thinking.
Narcissa thought about it and nodded, a hope of future was already there for her and her niece here "I understand Delphini, it might be possible he is yet to arrive or the time flows backwardly in contrast with our world with the ruby or that we are somehow sent before him but the truth remains that we have yet yo understand the powers of the ruby" she said softly looking at the sea infront of them.
"The only thing we can do is hope" Delphini spoke up from her side as she looked at the calm and composed figure of her aunt.
"Yes, that's all we can do for now" she said softly looking at her niece who was slowly growing up and becoming a good person, far better than she had been during her age.
Delphini woke up to the morning rays of the sun as she recalled that she had slept in the hull alongside other Naathi people.
She suddenly felt an itch around her lower region and she groaned when she realised what was happening.
She awkardly scratched her new balls over the pants, which were not present in her body till yesterday; as she hoped that it would placate the itching.
How did men dealt with this?, she thought awkardly though the scratching somehow felt nice to her body. It was relaxing on a totally different level. She looked around and saw that nobody was looking at her as nearly all of the men and women were asleep while she did that.
She stood up on the hull as she looked at the waters of the sea. Suddenly she spotted a speck of something at the distance. On careful inspection she saw that it was actually land which she could see.
Fifteen minutes later she was shouting over the men to steer the ship to the island as she looked at the figure of Sir Prince who was strangely speaking to the girl whom Delphini had seen being raped by the pirates. She had returned to the ship with Sir Prince as the man knew nothing about ship steering and since men were low in number on that ship and her aunt hardly trusted Sir Prince on his decisions for some strange reason.
Narcissa looked at the island in which they had landed. Apparently the man whom Sir Prince had kept alive told that this place was called Isle Of Cedars and was apparently completely filled with monkeys and animals which were a cause for nuisance for men who landed there. Apparently the island also had a bad reputation with people having nightmares repeatedly if they stayed long on the island or even more than a day.
"The doom of Valyria was responsible for the destruction of island Lady Narcissa. The Isle of Cedars is a large island that sits astride both Slaver's Bay and the Gulf of Grief. It was once known as the Isle of a Hundred Battles before the Doom. Many say that the island is cursed as everyone who land here experience horrible nightmares" Nyra spoke up looking at Narcissa respectfully. Lady Narcissa was their saviour and deserved the respect afterall.
The girl was brought to meet Narcissa by Deplhini as he introduced her as his aunt to everyone present from the other ship.
"You say that this whole island is no longer inhabited by man" she asked looking at Nyra who had been taught basic history of every place of Essos.
"They say so, Lady Narcissa" the girl answered respectfully. Nyra was amazed by the beauty of Lady Narcissa, every Lyseni woman in her ship was actually captivated by her beauty. Even they couldn't handle a candle to the descendant of the Dragonlords. Her beauty was simply inhuman according to her, her pale skin which was flawless, her violet eyes which could suddenly shine with emotion and could also show the coldness present in it within the same time. The Jawline of hers and the air of regalness which came naturally to Lady Narcissa.
"I think we should make camp for us here till a day or two, where we should hunt animals and gather some items here. What say you Nyra?" she asked suddenly looking at her.
Nyra didn't knew what to say, Noble Lords and Ladies didn't cared for slaves like her but then again she was in the service of three new Lords and Ladies who were kinder and stranger than anyone she had seen and heard. Certainly no Highborn Lord like Lord Delphius would dine with them sitting at the floor of deck or jape all night like Ser or Lord Prince who had a charisma with him that she had never seen.
"This young one says that it is a nice option Lady Narcissa" she said respectfully looking at her.
"You don't have to say and refer yourself as young one Nyra. You will and must use your name from now" Lady Narcissa said softly looking at her but there was no pity in her eyes. Nyra felt grateful that atleast Lady Narcissa wasn't showing pity on her.
"It is rather difficult to say so, after this long time of referring us like that Lady Narcissa. It has perhaps become a habit" Nyra replied back slowly looking at the calm face of Lady Narcissa.
"I see, then perhaps it is time to remedy that" Ser Prince spoke up from behind her as he swaggered to them with some men behind him who were carrying some small dead pigs and a huge boar which was slain with a sword. She was amazed by the size of the boar which was slain, it was big perhaps a little smaller than a horse only. Ser Prince was really a great swordsman if he could kill beasts like that simply with his sword, Nyra thought inwardly admiring the man. She saw that the Naathi people were carrying some berries too as well as some fruits. They had more Naathi men as compared to their only four Lyseni men who were trained as bed slaves as well as translators and learned slaves like her.
"Ser Prince" Narcissa greeted calmly looking at the ancient Prince who for some reason has came back to flesh and blood.
"Lady Narcissa" Ser Prince greeted back jovially.
"I hope you will be there to cook the meat which you gracuously brought?" Narcissa asked slowly looking at him. While there was no bad blood between them, she was not a great fan of the man after hearing how he died from Severus. Of all the places to die, it was in the bed of an inn.
"Ofcourse, even these Naathi people would crave it, when I will finish cooking the meat" Ser Armand Prince spoke up amusedly as he replied in Naathi earning bemused looks from the men present there.
He really was totally different from Severus, Narcissa thought inwardly. While he had a charisma which she had never seen since the Dark Lord, Severus was as reclusive as anyone. Constantly brooding around and remaining as private as anyone could. They were total polar opposites to each other both in behaviour and actions. Her friend could perhaps win medals with his constant brooding around, while Ser Prince could make friends with anyone.
"Are you once again lost in the thoughts of my descendant?" Ser Armand Prince asked with a small laugh as he quickly walked out of the place, it was a good thing that they lacked wands otherwise he would have gotten quite a hexing from the Lady Black.
Narcissa mentally cursed the figure of Armand Prince as she went to the tent which she had erected for them. They had magical tents and she didn't wanted the people to freak out so she simply only let one magical tent out from the pack which was for them.
"You found anything useful?" she asked to the figure of a silver haired boy of 18 who was sitting and trying to decipher the words.
The books were in high valyrian and it required a wit sharpening potion for Delphini to decipher the books a little faster.
"Yes, one of the buildings was a sort of library which I had found. There were books inside chests which were crushed and most of them were destroyed. However, I still managed to find some and this one here is a genealogy book of the history of Dragonlords" Delphini spoke up as she pulled out the leather bound book which was handwritten.
"Any stuff which we could use for our gains" Narcissa asked as she settled herself on another chair.
"Oh yes, apparently this house called Baelerys had a rider who flew to Sothorys, we could claim that we both are from Baelerys family considering that we have the valyrian looks and that our ancestors left Valyria long before the doom and went to West of Westeros. And there is another family which for some reason is called Slytherin and they had black hair and were earliest dragon riders who are now dead" Delphini spoke eagerly.
"No way" Narcissa breathed out shocked, how in the world was a name like Slytherin would be found in this world.
"I too was surprised, but do we really have to argue and waste our time on the implications aunt Cissa. We could simply claim that Ser Armand is from that family along with Lord Prince if we ever came across them because there was no other family with black hair. And the most wonderful thing is that their coat of arms is green and black with a dragon flying and breathing fire" Delphini spoke eagerly, how the name Slytherin came to this world was surely a surprise to him too.
"Besides Severus was the head of House Slytherin, now he will be the Lord of it" Narcissa spoke up with a small and soft amused tone. It would certainly be a nice revenge for Severus.
"So I believe, that means that we have finally sorted out everything which is necessary, my dear nephew?" Narcissa asked looking at her newfound nephew who instantly was riled up.
"Ofcourse" Delphini said not letting out anything seeing the mischievous look on her aunt's face. Perhaps it was time she started to consider herself as a 'him' now.
"What are we going to do now?" Delphini asked looking at her aunt who was the leader of their group.
"We will use the time we have to gather forces for us. A title and land would not be that hard to gain with what we have, though we have to tread carefully too. Don't go around claiming yourself as a survivor of Valyrian families for now till we have men and soldiers among us. We do not have wands which means that it is swords for us too now, ask Ser Prince to learn more about swordfighting. We will then move to buy slaves who will be freed and will work under ours. And we require land, huge amount of lands which could be used by us in anyway as much as we like. Perhaps a lordship or something like that" Narcissa spoke slowly as she started to think of the plans and things needed to be done.
Delphini was once again reminded why her aunt was so dangerous. Time had given her a wisdom which she used so ruthlessly against anyone that it was phenomenal and humbling to see.
"Now one would think you will directly go for the position of queen with that planning of yours" Delphini said amusedly as she looked at the figure of 'his' aunt.
