Daenerys smiled as she watched her sister being reunited with her husband. She looked at Ser Barristan, who had a smile on his face as well. Daenerys asked Jhiqui and Doreah to her the boys so that she and Missandei could take them down to their parents. Ser Barristan and Ser Jorah joined them as they made their way down to where Rhaesa and Drogo were standing.
Drogo was holding onto Rhaesa with his cheek on her head, and his eyes closed, relishing in the feel of his wife in his arms again. Drogo looked up when he heard a horse whinny. He noticed that Daenerys and another woman had his sons with them. Drogo smiled at the sight of his sons. They sat in front of the riders looking around in wonder. When Rhaego and Reuel spotted their mother, they smiled and began to giggle and called out to her, "Mama!" The twins cried.
Drogo marveled at how much the twins had grown in three months and felt a little saddened that he had missed their growth and their first words. He was afraid that his sons wouldn't recognize him and would be frightened of him. As Daenerys and Missandei neared, Drogo smile grew, the boys looked more like him than they did before but with their mother's beautiful violet eyes.
Daenerys stopped her horse, and Ser Jorah took Reuel from her so she could get off the horse, Ser Barristan did the same for Missandei. The girls took the babies back from the knights and walked over to Rhaesa and Drogo. Daenerys smiled at her good brother, "It's good to see you, brother." Dany said in the Common Tongue.
"It is good to see you as well, sister. I am pleased that you and my wife are unharmed."
"Thank you, brother. I, too, am pleased to see that no harm came to you."
"It was an easy battle, and the guards readily betray the masters for a chance at freedom."
Daenerys nodded, "I thought that you would want to see your sons, so Missandei and I brought them down to you."
Drogo looks at Missandei, she bows and introduces herself, "Great Khal, I am Missandei, loyal servant and interpreter for her grace, Queen Rhaesa, and Princess Daenerys."
Drogo nods then looks at the baby in her arms. Drogo takes a step towards Rhaego but the boy whimpers and hides his head in Missandei's shoulder, Drogo frowns at his son's reaction. He looks at Rhaesa, confused and a little hurt, Rhaesa lays her hand on his arm.
"He doesn't remember you, My Warrior Love. Give him some time to become acquainted with you again."
Rhaesa steps forward and takes Rhaego from Missandei, she held him close then points at Drogo, "This is your father, my love, do you remember, Dada?"
"Dada?" The baby asks, "Ave?" He asks in Dothraki.
"Sek, Rhaego, anha zin yeri ave." (Yes, Rhaego, I am your father.)
Drogo held his hands out to the baby to see if Rhaego would come to him. Rhaego hesitated for a moment then looked up at his mother; she gave him an encouraging nod. Very carefully, Rhaego leaned towards his father and let Drogo take him from his mother. Father and son stared at each other for a long time, until Rhaego reached up and yanked Drogo's beard, causing the Great Khal to yelp. Rhaego smiled and broke out in giggles. Drogo chuckled at hearing his son laugh then yelped again as Rhaego pulled on his beard even harder. This caused the baby to go into a fit of giggles.
Drogo laughed, *You like pulling on Ave's beard, don't you?*
The baby laughed and went to pull on his beard a third time, but Rhaesa stopped him, "No, Rhaego, that hurts your Dada, be nice."
*It does not bother me, Moon of My Life.*
*I know it doesn't, but he needs to learn that it's not nice.*
Drogo nods.
The whole time this is going on, Reuel is watching intently, he taps Dany's face and points at Drogo, "Kepa?"
"Yes, Reuel, that's your father," Dany tells him.
Reuel starts getting frustrated not being able to get to the man that is supposed to be his father; he lets out a little shriek causing Drogo to turn around. Drogo smiles at his son. He hands Rhaego to Rhaesa and walks over to Reuel, *Do not think I have forgotten about you, Reuel. I am your Ave too.* Drogo says, holding out his hands.
Reuel goes more willing to his father. After seeing how his twin was with Drogo, Reuel wasn't frightened of him. Drogo holds the baby in his arms, and Reuel pushes away from him so that he can get a better look at his face. Suddenly, Reuel squeals and slaps Drogo in the face with both of his hands. The shocked look on Drogo's face sent Reuel into a fit of laughter, so much so that the baby threw himself backward, still laughing.
Drogo chuckled and tickled the chubby baby under his chin, making Reuel scrunch his neck to try to avoid being tickled. Drogo tickled Reuel's sides, causing the baby to shriek in delight and gasp for air. Eventually, Drogo sat his son upright, and the baby's giggles subsided. When Reuel got control of himself, he reached out and pulled Drogo's beard as Rhaego had. This time Drogo gave an exaggerated yelp and set the baby off in another fit of giggles. When he calmed down, Reuel wrapped his little arms around Drogo's neck, "Kepa," He said.
Drogo looked at Rhaesa, confused, "It means father in Valyrian."
*Does he not understand Dothraki?*
*Of course he does, but I taught the boys to say father in the Common Tongue, Dothraki, and Valyrian.*
Drogo looks at Reuel, "Sek, Reuel, anha zin yeri ave." (Yes, Reuel, I am your father.)
Reuel looks at Drogo, confused, "Ave?"
"Yes, Reuel, this is your Dada, your Ave, and your Kepa."
His little eyes brightened when Reuel realized that they all mean the same thing. Reuel leans back and gives Drogo a sloppy kiss on the cheek. Drogo's heart melts at his son's affection; they weren't frightened of him after all. Drogo walks up to Rhaesa and takes Rhaego from her. Rhaego also kisses his father, then the twins look at each other and begin babbling to each other in twin speech about what no one had any idea.
Now that the boys were used to being in their father's arms, Drogo turned his attention to Ser Barristan. He walked towards the old knight and nodded, *Thank you, Barristan, for keeping my Khaleesi and my sons safe.*
Ser Barristan bowed, *You are more than welcome, Great Khal. It is an honor to protect your family.*
Drogo shifted the babies to one arm and patted Ser Barristan on the shoulder. He then walked over to Rhaesa, who took Rhaego from him. He looked down at his wife and put his arm around her shoulders. Wrapping her arms around his waist Rhaesa looked up at her husband and smiled, then her brow furrowed.
*Drogo, where did you put the dead children?*
He sighed, *We placed them in the under the Great Pyramid. We didn't want the parents to go looking for them, and it's one of the coolest places in the city to slow down the decay.*
Rhaesa closed her eyes, *This is something we must deal with first. Do you know who the parents are that lost their children?*
*Yes, I had all those that had lost a child come forward, and they were paid handsomely for their loss. We didn't tell them what you were going to do.*
Rhaesa nods, *Take me to the Great Pyramid, please.*
*Of course, Moon Of My Life.*
Drogo called Ser Barristan and Ser Jorah over to take his sons, and then he, Rhaesa, Daenerys, Missandei, and several Unsullied and Dothraki made their way to the Great Pyramid. The rest of the Unsullied and the train were slowly making their way to Meereen with the children of the former slaves hidden in the back.
When they reached the great Pyramid, Drogo had it opened. He informed Rhaesa that the children had been cleaned and dressed. And just as Drogo had expected, the depth of the Pyramid had held off the decay of the children. Rhaesa made sure that the children were taken out of the Pyramid and taken to the fighting pit where they were laid out. She then revealed Tenseiga and felt the sword pulsate in her hand, giving her the power to see the emissaries of the Underworld. With one swing of her sword, Rhaesa destroyed the emissaries.
It took a few moments, but soon, the children began to breathe. They sat up and looked around, confused. Some of them started to panic and cry at not seeing their parents. Rhaesa began to walk among the children trying to comfort them with Daenerys and Missandei's help, assuring them that they would soon see their parents. To calm them down, Rhaesa started telling them stories about her past life. The children were so enthralled that they all sat around her to listen.
The parents of the slain children, who had been gathered earlier, were allowed to enter the fighting pits. The parents could not believe their eyes when they saw all of the children sitting around Rhaesa listen intently to her story. The children were so engrossed in the story that they didn't hear their parents enter until one woman wailed at spotting her daughter she thought was dead.
Calling the little girl's name, she looked up and saw her mother, "Muña!" Screamed the little girl.
The mother comes running into the pit, followed closely by her father. They sweep the little girl into their arms and begin to cry. That started a chain reaction of parents calling out for their children, and the reunions began. While that was going on, the other children that had been rescued had arrived and were led into the fighting pits where they too found their parents. All around the people were crying tears of joy at being reunited with the children they thought they had lost.
When everyone had calmed down, Rhaesa was viewed in a new light, Not only was she Queen Rhaesa Targaryen, The Unburnt, Break of Chains, Mother of Dragons. She was also Bringer of Life. The chant started again, "Mhysa, Mhysa, Mhysa," as they all tried to touch her.
With Rhaesa resurrecting the crucified children, she had gained the absolute loyalty of the citizens of Meereen and the fear of the Masters. Drogo ordered that the remainder of the masters that had participated in the crucifixion of the children be nailed to the post to Yunkai then led his family into the Great Pyramid where a feast was prepared for those that had just arrived in the city.
