JAEHAERYS AND WALDER

PART 1. JAEHAERYS II

The next morning Jae quickly gets dressed and comes out of his room. He is the first at the table. Viserys and Dany arrive next; then Shiera and finally Aemon and the rest. "My Prince I would like to be considered as a member of the King's Guard to Prince Jaehaerys." Ser Alliser says. They refer to Jae as Prince because he has not come of age yet to be referred to as King.

"So would I." The others says.

"We shall test sword skills today against me…"

"And me!" Shiera says interrupting.

Aemon nods making Jae smile, "If you can hold your own against us…Well Jae will decide."

After eating they have lessons. As he did while traveling to White Harbor Aemon asks Viserys, Dany, and Walder questions to see how much they know. Viserys had been neglecting his studies, but knows enough to hold his own against Jae. Dany's education is full of holes and Walder's education goes up to the age of nine."

After they finish with lessons Aemon takes them to the yard. He sets Viserys against Jae to test their skill level. Viz has some skill, but Jae has more technique and is faster. So Jae is to work with Ser Darry, Aemon, and Shiera alternating to improve his skills. Viserys will work with Aemon alone while Dany will work with Shiera. "In my free time I will train Walder."

After the younger ones are settled the older men face off against Aemon and Shiera. First Ser Alliser faces off against Aemon. He disarms Alliser after five moves. Shiera disarms Jeremy Rykker in three moves. Jory Cassel is beaten in seven. After each man is tested they face off against one another. Ser Alliser beats Clinton flowers and Michael Brace. Rykker and Blackwood are beaten by Jory Cassel. Then those two face off and Jory defeats Ser Alliser.

Jae chooses Alliser and Jory and the first two members of his Guard. After training they eat in the yard and then practice magic. They build a fire and then Aemon and Shiera drop their blood in the flames. Jae use their blood to see visions, but he can only see the future through their blood. Jae has Orion bring him a rat. He stabs it and throws it into the fire. He shows Dany her mother through the flames.

"Mother."

"She is just the way I remember her." Viserys says.

After bathing and eating Jae sits at a desk writing a letter to his Uncle and Cousins. The next day is longer and a little more organized. Shiera helps Walder who is far behind, while Aemon works with Viserys, Jae, and Dany. After two hours of study they practice with swords, bows, and train with Lances. This time when they use magic Jae uses his own blood. "Now focus on the present and learn the secret of glass from the glassmakers of Myr." Aemon says encouraging Jae.

It takes a while, but Jae is able to summon the image and learn the secret of making glass. "This is how we will build our fortune. Jae tell them."

"I used my magic to spy on the glassmakers of Myr…we will build a glass foundry, make our own glass and sell it cheaper."

"Won't the glassmakers get angry?" Viserys asks.

"They won't be able to touch us. Especially if get the Iron Bank to back us."

"So, this is how we build our fortune." Viserys says.

They send Clinton Flowers, Alyn Blackwood, and Michael to buy what they need. They set everything up and take it to the Iron Bank for a demonstration. Aemon goes with his hair dyed black. They make a deal for forty percent of the business the Iron Bank will cover the costs of building a glass foundry. The foundry will be built on a nearby Island.

They return to the Mansion with the good news. It will take seven months to a year to build the foundry and in the meantime, it is Dany who comes up with another way to make gold. "And what do you call this again?" Jae asks holding a handle with a rope as the flying thing is taken by the wind.

"A kite silly."

They hire a hundred people and Dany teaches them how to make the kites. A hundred is sold the first day, with many more orders to be filled. This time the Iron Bank approaches them for a partnership with the kites. With Iron Bank backing their kite making business no one would dare to copy and sell without their permission. Also, with the Iron Bank's connections the Kites can be sold all over Essos and Westeros. With the kite sales money starts coming in faster than they had hoped.

Jae and Dany are given two days off to do play or do whatever they want. Sometimes Viserys and Dany go riding with Jae and their guards. Other times they stay in the house and play games like tag and hide and to seek. As time passes Jae befriends a few noble children that live in the city. Outside of Dany and Viserys his best friend is a boy named Connor Bavel.

One evening Jae, Aemon, Shiera, Viserys, and Daenarys gather around a fire. Jae pours some blood he had been collecting from himself, his relatives, and animals like rats and birds. With his blood in the mix it has the power to do what he needs to do He uses some to contact his family. "Hello Uncle." He says talking through the fire. "High Robb, Sansa, Arya, Bran…Lady Catelyn." He has yet to forgive her for the way she treated him while living at Winterfell. Still he wanted to meet the newest member of the family baby Rickon.

"Jon! I mean…Jae are you well?" Eddard asks.

The Starks are in the godswood standing around a fire of their own. "Yes of course…This is my Uncle Prince Viserys and my Aunt Daenarys."

"High Jon we miss you." Robb yells.

After all the greetings are made Jaehaerys gets a look at his baby cousin Rickon Stark. He speaks with his Stark family until the magic in the flames end.

PART 2. WALDER

For many years Walder lay trapped inside his mind, a victim of the Night King's interference when his father Bloodraven tried to use Warging to communicate with him. He held no grudges against his father, nor did he blame him. One night after a long day his father contacts him in his dreams. "Father."

"You seem angry Walder why?"

"I…had always hoped you would return to us and then me, you, and mother would be a family…More so now that she is…"

"I am sorry my son…Even after I learned that I was not the Prince I still wanted power…You are not alone…You have a cousin on the Sapphire Islands…Two in the Reach…Two in the Westerlands…I have offspring living with the free folk as well…But it is to you I feel the most indebted too…That is why when my time comes I will grant you part of my magic."

"I don't want magic I want you!" Brynden smiles and is gone from his mind.

"You seem distracted Walder ." Ser Alliser says in the yard as they train with swords. Because of his strength and size, Walder practices with a broad sword.

"I am distracted Ser Alliser please forgive me." When training is done Walder walks up to Aemon.

"Yes."

"Are you going to marry my mother?"

"I would like to. Perhaps one day. Why do you ask?"

"Well until that day comes leave my mother alone!" He storms off to his room and slams the door. A long time later there is knock. "Yes!"

Shiera enters his room and sits beside him. "Thank you." She says after a long time of silence.

He looks at his mother, "For what?"

"For being my son."

"Mother I did not."

She hugs him, "Its okay…Your father and I settled things a long time ago. As for Aemon, if you don't want me to be with him."

He smiles, "Its okay…As long as he marries you." After breaking their fast the next day Walder apologizes to Aemon. In their free time Jae and Walder would write songs together and sing them. As his father did before him Jae would go into the street and sing as a bard. Sometimes Walder would go and they would sing together.

Walder learned quickly and caught up in his studies with Jae, and Dany. In his training he relied on his strength and has the makings of a great swordsman. When it came to speed Walder is remarkably fast for his size. Despite their age differences Jae and Walder become close friends. Sometimes Walder , Jae, and Viserys would go out and explore the city.

When the foundry finally opens everyone goes to the Island to watch as the first glass objects are made and forged. To make a quick profit the Lords of Braavos stop buying glass from Myr. Word quickly spreads as Glass Foundry of Braavos sells at cheaper prices.
