*ITALICS = DOTHRAKI*
**BOLD = DRAGONS TALKING**
While the Dothraki were celebrating their impending conquest of Westeros and the birth of the dragons, Rhaesa quietly slipped away with her sons, followed by Daenerys. She was glad that the people were so distracted that they didn't bother to ask how she had survived being stabbed.
Rhaesa was so lost in thought that she didn't notice Ser Barristan and Ser Jorah following her and Dany until Meraxes hissed. She turned and saw that Ser Barristan was now walking next to her peering down at the hatchling.
"It's alright, my love, this is Ser Barristan."
Meraxes eyed him suspiciously, his gold eyes boring into Ser Barristan's brown eyes.
"He's very protective of you, Khaleesi."
"Yes, he is, when we get back to Dany's tent, I'll introduce you properly."
Upon arriving at Dany's tent, they all go inside. Rhaesa tells the girl to bring food and a chunk of charred meat for the dragons. The girls bow and leave to do their duties.
When Rhaesa and Daenerys got the hatchling settled, Dany turns to Ser Jorah, "So, now that you have seen dragons, do you believe in them?"
Jorah stammered, "Y-Yes Princess, I do believe in dragons."
"That being the case, it's only proper that we introduce you to our children," Dany tells them.
Daenerys picked up the blue dragon and showed her to Ser Jorah, "Vhagar, I want you to meet Ser Jorah Mormont. He is my guard, and he will guard you as well."
Vhagar looked at her mother then looked at Ser Jorah, **Is he our father, Mother?**
Rhaesa covered her mouth, and Daenerys laughed, "No, my sweet, he is not your father. He is a good friend and our protector."
Ser Jorah looked at Daenerys, confused, "You can understand them, Princess?"
"Of course, my sister and I can speak and understand our dragons."
"What did the dragon say," Ser Jorah asked.
"She wanted to know if you were their father."
Ser Jorah clears his throat and looks away.
**Mother, where's our father,** Meleys asks.
"You don't have one yet, I don't have a mate yet," Dany explains.
Daenerys feels a wave of understanding from her hatchlings, "Why don't we get on with the introductions. This young lady is Dreamfyre," Dany says, picking up the silver dragon, "And this is Meleys," She says as she picks up the pink dragon.
"Are they all female?" Jorah asks.
"Yes, and Rhaesa's are all male."
Ser Barristan looked at Rhaesa, "Does that mean you'll be breeding them?"
"I would think so; they already have their mates."
Ser Barristan looked at Rhaesa, surprised. He was not expecting for the dragons to be males and females.
"Alright, now that Dany has introduced her hatchlings to Ser Jorah, I suppose it's only fitting I do the same to you, Ser Barristan," Rhaesa said.
She then picked up Meraxes and held him out to Ser Barristan. "This overprotective one is Meraxes. Meraxes, this is Ser Barristan Selmy, he's been my friend and protector since I was a child."
**Child, Mother?**
"A hatchling, my love," Rhaesa explains.
Ser Barristan snorts, figuring that Rhaesa just called herself a hatchling.
Meraxes narrowed his golden eyes at Ser Barristan,**He will not hurt you, Mother?**
"No, Meraxes, Ser Barristan is sworn to protect you, your brothers, and me. Do not worry."
Meraxes looks between his mother and Ser Barristan and nods, **Alright, Mother; if you trust him, I do too.**
"Will you let him pet you, Meraxes?"
**Yes, Mother.**
"Ser Barristan, Meraxes no longer considers you a threat, so he is allowing you to pet him."
Ser Barristan kneeled and cautiously stuck his hand out towards the dragon. Meraxes leaned forward and smelled him, after breathing in his scent for a moment, Meraxes licked his fingers and lowered his head so Ser Barristan could pet him.
Ser Barristan smiled at the feel of Meraxes' warm leathery skin. After running his hand down his back, Ser Barristan scratched under Meraxes' chin causing the little hatchling to purr. Ser Barristan chuckled at the sight of the little dragon closing his eyes and leaning more into him.
After Meraxes had his fill of being scratched, Rhaesa picked up, Balerion and Drogon. The two dragons were less cautious, having heard the explanation and trusting Meraxes' conclusion; they believed that Ser Barristan wouldn't do anything to them. Balerion and Drogon reached out for Ser Barristan and allowed him to pet and scratch them.
Ser Barristan smiled, "You named them for your ancestor's dragons."
"Yes, except for Drogon, I named him after his father."
Ser Barristan nods. Once the dragons had their fill of being scratched, they began to complain that they were hungry. A few moments later, Drogo came into the tent.
The minute the hatchlings saw their father, they begin to shriek and flap their wings happily. Drogo smiles at them, *Hello, my children.*
**Hello, Father!**
Ser Barristan and Ser Jorah looked at each other surprised; *You can understand them, Great Khal,* Ser Barristan asks.
*Yes, the dragons think of me as their father.*
*And because of that, you can understand them?* Ser Jorah asks.
*It's a little more complicated than that. Because Drogo is my mate, the dragons were able to bond with him by drinking his blood.*
Something suddenly occurred to Rhaesa, *Can you hear Daenerys' hatchlings as well, My Warrior Love?*
*I don't know.*
*Girls, can you hear your uncle?*
**Uncle what is an uncle, Mother,** Dreamfyre asked her Dany.
*An uncle would be the brother to your mother or the mate of your aunt.*
**We understand, Mother, and yes we can hear our uncle.**
*Drogo?*
He smiled, *Yes I can hear them just fine.*
*This is amazing, I thought something like this would only happen with those of Targaryen descent, but I suppose not. Could the dragons understand Viserys?* Jorah asked.
*Balerion could you understand your uncle?*
**Who is Uncle, Mother?**
*The human that tried to take you from me. He's my brother, Viserys.*
All of the dragons start screeching and flapping their weeks, clearly angered and distressed, **That human is brother to you, Mother?! It cannot be, he is evil.** Balerion declares.
*Unfortunately, he is. He's my twin, my clutch mate. Were you able to hear him?*
**No, Mother, we didn't understand anything he said. Only that he wanted to take Balerion,** Drogon said.
Daenerys looks at Vhagar, *Did you understand him, my sweet?*
**No, Mother, we didn't understand him either.**
*What did the dragons say, Khaleesi,* Ser Barristan asked.
*They said that they couldn't understand Viserys.*
*That's very interesting. So, the fact that Viserys a Targaryen doesn't guarantee that he can talk to dragons.*
*I wonder why the dragons can't understand him.*
**Because he's not a dragon, Mother. You and Aunt Daenerys are dragons, and Father is your mate,** Balerion explains.
*How do you know that?*
Balerion huffs, **I know everything about dragons.**
Rhaesa and the others laugh. Ser Barristan and Ser Jorah look at each other confused.
*What did he say?*
*Balerion says that Viserys isn't a dragon.*
*Perhaps he's correct.* Jorah says.
At that moment, Irri and Jhiqui come into the tent with food for the hatchlings and everyone else. Rhaesa invites Ser Barristan and Ser Jorah to eat with her, Drogo, Dany, and the Dragons. They kindly accept.
Irri and Jhiqui serve everyone their meal, but they serve Rhaesa goat to make sure she doesn't become ill. They also hand the charred horsemeat to Rhaesa and Daenerys. The men look at them strangely.
*It's for the hatchlings they cannot eat raw meat. It must be well cooked for them,* Rhaesa explains.
Rhaesa begins to feed the boys when Drogo takes the meat from her, *I will feed them, Moon of My Life. You and our child must eat as well.*
*Thank you, My Warrior Love,* Rhaesa said as she leaned against Drogo and ate her meal.
Drogo smiles and begins to cut up the meat and give portions of it to the hatchlings who happily start to eat their meal. While they're eating, Rhaesa notices that Ser Jorah keeps glancing at her. She, almost positive that she knows what's on Jorah's mind.
*Speak your mind, Ser Jorah, it seems you have a question for me.*
*Khaleesi, I do not want to offend you, but out in the square, you told Khal Drogo that you had been stabbed in the heart and the belly and yet I see no wounds. How is this possible?*
Rhaesa looked over at Ser Barristan, who gave a subtle nod. Meaning that Jorah could be trusted with her secret, nevertheless, Rhaesa was going to make Ser Jorah swear.
*Before I tell you, Ser Jorah, you must swear to me that you will not reveal what I am about to say to you to anyone.*
*I swear to the Old gods and The New; I will not reveal to anyone what you are about to tell me.*
Rhaesa sighed, *That isn't good enough, swear on your honor that you have regained and the honor of your House that you will not reveal my secret.*
*On my honor and that of House Mormont, I will not reveal what you are about to tell me.*
Rhaesa nodded, *I have the power to heal myself and others.*
Jorah gave her a skeptical look.
*Ser Barristan can attest to seeing me use my powers as a child.*
*I was there when the Khaleesi healed her mother after King Arys had raped her.*
Daenerys glanced at her sister with a pained look in her eyes while Jorah swallowed thickly. He had heard rumors of what King Arys would do to his wife, especially after he burned someone. Drogo looked at his wife to make sure she was not upset.
*But I don't understand, Khaleesi, how did you get these powers?*
Rhaesa was hoping that Jorah wasn't going to ask her that. She had been debating for sometime about whether or not to tell her loved ones about her former life. But with the appearance of Lightbringer and Tenseiga and now with Jorah asking questions, Rhaesa felt she had no other choice though she wasn't going to go into full detail.
*What I'm about to tell you all no one knows about, not even you, Ser Barristan.*
Ser Barristan gave Rhaesa an odd look. He knew the Khaleesi better than anyone, and she told him everything. It was strange that she had a secret she never to him about.
Rhaesa sighed, Daenerys reached over and put her hand on her sister's knee, *You can tell us, Rhae, we'll believe you. And we won't think differently of you.*
"Thank you, Dany." *This is very difficult to explain, but I'll try. First I need to know, do any of you understand what reincarnation is?*
They all looked at each other and shook their heads.
*Reincarnation is when the soul of a person has been reborn in another body. Usually, the person that has been reincarnated doesn't remember their former life, or they may sometimes get flashes of it. But in my case, I remember everything.*
Ser Barristan gave Rhaesa an odd look, *Are you telling us that you are the reincarnation of someone else, Khaleesi?*
*Yes, Ser Barristan, I am. In my former life, I was known as Kagome Higurashi. I was a priestess that had the spiritual powers to kill monsters and also to heal people; I was even taught to use a bow and channel my spiritual energies through it to kill these monsters.*
There wasn't a single sound in the tent; even the hatchlings had stopped eating so that they could listen to the story.
*I, along with a few friends, travel the country collecting shards of a shattered jewel that if in the wrong hands could make that person, or monster, the most potent being in existence. They would have the ability to rule the world or destroy it.*
Daenerys gasped.
*We collected all the shards and fought this monster. In the end, the beast, named Naraku, and I killed each other, and the jewel was wished out of existence.*
Drogo stiffened at hearing that his wife had been killed. He picked her up and set her down on his lap. He held her tightly and rubbed circles on her belly.
*How old were you when you died,* Jorah asked.
*I was seven and ten.*
Ser Barristan and Jorah looked at each other, *A mere child,* Ser Barristan said.
*When I died, I expected to pass on to the afterlife, but I was stopped and told that I was needed elsewhere. That a great evil was threatening a far off land, and I was the only one who could destroy it. The god gave me the choice of moving on to the afterlife and leave this world to their fate or accept and be reborn.*
*Of course, you accepted,* Dany said.
Rhaesa nodded, *But my condition for accepting was that I keep all of my memories and my skills and the knowledge of the entire history of where I was being sent, my demands consented.*
*Ah, so that's why you were such an intelligent child; you were not only reincarnated with all the knowledge you would need to survive in this world.*
Rhaesa nodded, *So, now I am the reincarnation of Azor Ahai. The one destined to stop the Long Night.*
*That would explain why Melisandre was so interested in you. She was helping you prepare to fight the Other.*
Drogo furrowed his brow, *What is the Long Night?*
Ser Jorah went on to explain to Drogo and Daenerys what the Long Night is.
*Eight thousand years before the Targaryen Conquest, a winter known as the Long Night descended upon the world, which lasted an entire generation. Thousands starved as the crops and fields lay buried under dozens of feet of snow. In the darkness and cold of the Long Night, the White Walkers descended upon Westeros from the farthest north, the polar regions of the Lands of Always Winter. The conflict that arose from the Long Night is known as the War for the Dawn as the White Walkers sought to bring an end to all life and to cover the world in an endless winter. I thought that was only a story.* Ser Jorah said.
*No, it happened. But Azor Ahai beat them back and with the help of Bran the Builder the Wall was built to keep out the White Walkers. Now the threat of the Night King has returned, and he grows stronger. It won't be long until the Wall falls and the Long Night returns.*
*How will you defeat him, sister?*
*With the same sword that Azor Ahai used then,* Rhaesa stood up and brought the two swords, *This is Lightbringer, it has the power to kill the Night King.*
*How did you get it?* Drogo asked as Rhaesa sat down on his lap again.
*When I laid in the tent dying, I was visited by a person from my past life; her name was Midoriko. She has always been a guide for me. She gave me the sword but told me that it had been changed. It now could slay 100 white walkers with a single blow.*
Rhaesa unsheathed the sword, and it glowed white with power. She passed the sword to Ser Barristan so he could examine it, *I have never seen a sword of its equal, not even Valyrian Steel compares.* He then handed the sword to Jorah; then he gave it to Drogo.
*What is the other sword, Khaleesi.*
Rhaesa smiled, *This sword is known as Tenseiga, the sword of Heaven. Where Lightbringer can destroy 100 lives, Tenseiga can save 100 lives. With this sword, I will have the ability to bring those that have fallen to the Night King back to being fully healed. Unless they have been with the Night King too long.*
All of their eyes widen at the power of Tenseiga. Drogo suddenly hugged his wife and kissed her, *The Great Stallion has brought you here to save the world. It is your destiny, just as it is your destiny to be with me, Moon of My Life.
Rhaesa kissed him back, *Yes, My Warrior Love, you and I were always destined to be together.*
They were all silent for a while, each consumed in their thoughts. Daenerys looked very sad.
*Dany, what's the matter?*
*Rhae, if you are the reincarnation of this Kagome, does that mean you're not my sister?*
Rhaesa stood up and hugged her baby sister, *Oh, Dany, we have the same mother and share the same blood. Even if that weren't the case, you would always be my baby sister, and I will always look after you. I love you very much.*
*Khaleesi I don't mean to interrupt, but what must we do to prepare for the Long Night,* Ser Barristan asked.
*We must unite Westeros under one banner and when the time comes, we march North to confront the Night King.*
*How do you plan to do that,* Jorah asked.
*By taking back what was stolen from us. I don't want to use the dragons, but if we have to we will reign down fire and blood on those that oppose us.*
*I think the most resistance you will have is from the Lannisters and Baratheons,* Ser Barristan says.
Rhaesa and Daenerys look at each other, *We will seek out our revenge against the Lannister and Baratheons for the death of our family. And if that leads to the extinction of those Houses, so be it.* Rhaesa says with a glint in her eyes.
