BOLD=DRAGONS TALKING
Balerion and Vhagar made their way towards Westeros. They traveled at night so that they wouldn't be noticed. The last thing they wanted was for people outside of The Bay of Dragons to confirm the existence of dragons. As they traveled, the dragons formulated a plan. They had heard that Vhagar's mother had made a marriage alliance with the human name Eddard Stark's son. Therefore the dragons could not let any harm come to Daenerys's mate.
**We should have brought Drogon or Meleys. They could have told us whether this human is worthy of my mother.** Vhagar said.
**There was no time, and too many of us would have given us a way, mate.**
Vhagar thought for a moment, **You're right, we need to be discreet, unless we are required.**
The dragons flew in silence after that. It only took them two days to arrive in Westeros. According to Rhaesa, they needed to go to the Riverlands, where most of the fighting was concentrated. Balerion and Vhagar scanned the armies from high in the sky, trying to determine if the Stark army could defeat the Lannister army. Balerion watched the battle with interest.
**This human is a good fighter, but he is arrogant and makes many mistakes. He underestimates his opponent.**
Vhagar agrees with her mate, **The human will not triumph in this war by the way he is handling things.**
Balerion and Vhagar flew further away and came across a more massive Lannister army that was waiting for the Stark human to attack. The two dragons looked at each other, **We need to help them.** Vhagar announce.
**Yes, we do, but we will wait until nightfall. Then we shall set the tents on fire starting from the ends and meet in the middle.**
The dragons quietly flew down towards the Lannister army, staying just out of sight and began to send out short bursts of flames towards the tents. Balerion and Vhagar worked quickly before the soldiers had time to react the all the tents were engulfed in flames. They destroyed the food stores and made sure that the horses fled in terror. The tents burned quickly, and the officers ran out engulfed in flames.
They tried to put out the fires, but Dragonfire was not easily extinguished. The flames quickly spread, destroying everything that the Lannister army had. Food, supplies, weapons, and horses had escaped. The Lannister army was left defenseless. Easy picking for the armies of the North and the Riverlands.
The next morning when Robb and his army rode out to meet the Lannister army, they were surprised to see the devastation they came across. Everything was burned down; the men could smell the remains of charred bodies and blood. The smoke was so thick in the air that it was causing Robb's men to cough.
"By the gods, what happened here?" Robb asked.
Lannister soldiers were walking around in a daze, babbling about balls of flames raining down from the sky. They were swearing they were being punished by the gods for fighting in this war. Many of the Lannister soldiers gladly surrendered at the sight of the Northern army.
Lord Umber approached one of the soldiers, "Where are your officers, boy?"
"Dead, My Lord, they all died in the tent fires. Please, take us from this accursed place. We have no food, and we will soon starve. My men and I surrender to the King of the North."
Lord Umber looked at Robb, who nodded. The Northern army rounded up what was left of the Lannister army and clapped them in irons and marched them off to their prisons.
From a safe distance, Balerion and Vhagar watched as the enemy soldiers of Robb Stark voluntarily surrendered before the Northern army. They said was that it was all the fault of the boy king who killed that poor girl; that's why the gods were punishing them for following the orders of a little monster just like his mother, who did nothing to prevent it. She only smiled while they placed the girl's head on a spike, and her body was thrown to the kennel to feed the dogs as her father was a traitor, and she didn't deserve a dignified burial.
Balerion and Vhagar reported this to their mother and aunt. The dragons asked Rhaesa what else they had to do there or if they should simply return to Meereen with them. Although the truth is that despite not knowing who the Lannister soldiers were talking about, the dragons felt terrible about the fate to which the girl was condemned because it reminded them of the poor children crucified in Meereen that their mother/aunt revived. But from what the dragons had heard, this girl was impossible to bring back even with Tenseiga.
After hearing the fate of the remains of Sansa's body, the only thing that he could do was go off into the woods to be alone. He drew his sword and, with all of his strength, began to hack away at a tree. Robb eventually fell to his knees and cried out his anguish for his little sister and the uncertain future of Arya, who no one knew where she was.
Meanwhile, in Meereen, Ned Stark was led to an elegant room where water was brought for him to bathe. A new set of clothes was left for him, along with food. He changed into the new lighter tunic and trousers and put on the new pair of boots they had left for him. Sitting down at the table, Ned served himself some fruit and cheese along with some roasted chicken.
After finishing his lunch, Ned went over to the desk and took out a piece of parchment, ink, and a quill. He began to write his letter to his wife and son, letting them know that he had arrived safely in Meereen. Ned also informed them of his new alliance with the Targaryen sisters and that he had brokered a betrothal between Robb and Princess Daenerys Targaryen.
When he finished writing the note, Ned asked one of the queen's servants if he could get him a raven to send a letter to his son. At that time, Ned informed the servant that on the ship in which he arrived, there was a group of Unsullied that was a gift for the queen and her family from a friend of the family. The maid nodded and went out to the family area to break the news to the royal family about Lord Stark's request. Rhaesa did not know what friend they were referring to, so she sent the Greyworm and Missandei to ask the people on the ship who sent them and if they were a threat to his queen.
Greyworm and Missandei arrive at the dock where the ship that Lord Stark was on was docked. Missandei asked the Captain where the boat had come from and what gifts were on board for the Dragon Queen, "My Lady, this ship is from Pentos. We had strict orders to deliver two hundred Unsullied slaves to the Queen of Meereen as a gift from Illyrio Mopatis."
At hearing the man's name, Missandei remembered the tale that Rhaesa and Daenerys had told her about the Magister of Pentos. She wasn't sure if that man could be trusted, but Missandei knew that her queen would want the slaves brought to her so that she could offer them freedom. Missandei decided to tell Greyworm that they had to take these Unsullied to the Great Pyramid for the queen to see them and offer them freedom. And if they wanted, they could still serve her as she had done with them when she freed The Unsullied from Astapor long ago.
Missandei and Greyworm asked the captain of the ship to accompany them with the Unsullied to the Great Pyramid so that he would present the gift that Illyrio Mopatis sent to Queen Rhaesa Targaryen since the queen would love to know the reason behind the gift. Of course, she did not say it because if the man who commanded the Unsullied knew the queen, he knew perfectly well that she had always hated slavery. And that was the reason for initiating the liberation of all slaves from the cruel masters.
Upon reaching the Great Pyramid, Missandei told one of the guards to inform the queen and her family that the captain of the ship, together with the slaves who were a gift, was waiting for them to be given an audience. Rhaesa had called for Lord Stark to be brought to the throne room as well so that he could be present when the gift was given to the royal family.
Ned, who had been walking around in the garden, was met by Missandei. Ned bowed when he saw the young lady, "Greetings, Lord Stark."
"Greetings, Lady Missandei, how do you fare today?"
"Very well, My Lord. Have you been enjoying our gardens."
"Aye, they are quite lovely. I have never seen so many different plants and fruits before."
"I'm glad to hear you are enjoying yourself, though you must be suffering from the heat."
"Aye, but I am slowly becoming accustomed to it."
"Lord Stark, I have come with a message from the Queen. She would like you to be present in the throne room when the gifts that you brought with you are presented to the queen."
Ned nodded, "Alright, shall we go now?"
"Yes, the captain of the ship is already waiting in the throne room."
Ned followed Missandei as she led the way back into the Great Pyramid. She showed him into the throne room where the captain of the ship and the Unsullied were waiting for the Queen. Ned walked into the throne room with a frown on his face. He knew that the practice of slavery was prevalent in Essos, but it didn't mean he liked it. It bothered him that these poor men were sold as boys and emasculated so that they would become better soldiers. Ned was positive that Queen Rhaesa would free the Unsullied, but what kind of life could they have if they knew nothing other than war?
Ned came out of his thoughts when Queen Rhaesa, Khal Drogo, Princess Daenerys, and the Queen's Hand came into the throne room. Missandei announced their presence, and Ned and the captain bowed.
Rhaesa smiled at the captain, "Captain, I was told that you have a gift for me."
"Yes, your grace, I have a gift from your friend Illyrios Mopatis. He has ordered me to bring you two hundred Unsullied slaves to join your conquest of Westeros."
Rhaesa looked at Rhee, who walked down the steps and took the whip that the captain was offering. Rhee then walked back up the steps and presented it to Rhaesa. Rhaesa took the whip from Rhee; she then threw it to the ground, the captain, and Ned looked at her in surprise.
Rhaesa smiled at the captain, "Captain, although I appreciate your gift, my kingdom does not have slaves, none of my Unsullied or any of the people in this area are slaves. They serve me of their own free will more than anything because I liberated them from their cruel masters, and I treat them as people, not like property. So I ask that the next time you come with gifts of this kind, please understand that this is a great insult to me, my family, and my kingdom."
Rhee stepped forward and gave the captain a bag of gold. The captain looked up at Rhaesa, confused, "I am not purchasing the Unsullied, Captain. This is my way of thanking you for bringing men that needed my help, and that are now free men."
The captain and his men nodded and left the throne room. Rhaesa stood up with Drogo at her side and walked down the dais, "Come, Lord Stark, you may want to see this," Rhaesa said to Ned.
Rhaesa and Drogo left the throne room with everyone else following them. They walked out into the courtyard, where the two hundred Unsullied were located. When Greyworm saw his Queen, he called the Unsullied to attention. Rhaesa stepped forward with her husband and brother on each side of her. In a clear loud voice, Rhaesa addressed the Unsullied.
"Dovaogēdy, mirre aōha lives emā issare treated hae dȳñes. Īlē given naejot nyke ondoso aōha āeksio hae iā irudy, yn tubī nyke irudy ao lēda aōha freedom. Hen bisa tubis naejot iksā mirre dāez vali. Kostā jikagon se glaesagon isse lyks iā kostā continue naejot dohaeragon nyke yn Hae dāero valoti. Se iderennon iksis aōhon."
While Rhaesa spoke in High Valeryian, Missandei stood next to Ned and translated what she was saying, "Unsullied, all your lives you have been treated as animal. You were given forward I by your lord as a gift, but today I gift you full your freedom. Of the this day forward you are all free men. You can go and live in peace a you can continue forward assist I but as free men. The choice is yours."
There was a long pause, then as the Unsullied in Astapor had done, these Unsullied began to beat their spears on the ground, indicating that they would stay and serve Rhaesa. Ned looked on in awe as these men who were offered the chance of living a peaceful life had sworn themselves to Rhaesa. He turned to Missandei who smiled at him. After that, Rhaesa had Greyworm take the new Unsullied to the barracks and made sure they were fed and given their own rooms.
With that, Rhaesa and her family went back inside the Great Pyramid. It was time for Drogo and Rhaesa to spend some quality time with their children.
