LOVE FRIENDSHIP AND MAGIC

JAEHAERYS

It took a lot out of Doran to come to Dragonstone because of his gout. Jae had insisted so that he could heal him of his gout. When the time comes, Jae cuts his hand and drips blood all over Doran's naked body as he lays on the bed. Then he sticks his hand in the fire. An aura of flame covers Doran and he howls in pain. When it is over he is cured of his gout.

He dresses himself and looks at Jae, "Thank you…Thank you!"

"You're welcome. My mother loved your sister. That makes us family."

They pat each other on the back. "It does."

Arianne remains at Dragonstone while her father and uncle return to Sunspear. Meanwhile Tytus goes with Lord Lefford and his daughter to Golden Tooth so that they can spend more time together. Eddard had come to Dragonstone with Robb, Arya, and Bran. Lady Catelyn had stayed at Winterfell with Sansa and Rickon who is still too young to travel; Theon stayed behind as well, still unaware of Jon's true identity.

"I can't believe King Robert is clueless that the Targaryens are on his doorstep with an army and baby Dragons." Robb says.

"I saw your destiny Robb." Jae says to him.

"What do you mean?"

"The woman you will fall in love with and marry one day."

"Don't tell me…I want to be surprised."

"As you wish."

"I really missed you. Talking through the fire was fine and all but actually being near you. Seeing you with my eyes and hearing with my ears is way better."

Robb was right, as Jae gets to know his family up close and personal. He develops a close bond with Arya who is like his mother in many ways. And its is to Arya that Jae gives the most gifts to. He gives her horse a new bow, a Valyrian dagger, armor in her size, a glass Dire Wolf, and a Valyrian short sword. He also hires a Braavosi sword master to accompany her home and train her.

The Stark's time at Dragonstone also brings them closer to the Targaryens. Bran takes a liking to Aemon and even though Dany is older she and Arya become sisters. Robb and Viserys connect when it comes to talking about battle strategies of all things.

"The time has come." Brynden Targaryen says to Jae, Aemon, Daenarys, Wylis, Viserys and Shiera. "My time has come…Jae let us touch minds. I have much to show you."

Brynden shows Jae things being hidden from his vision by the Night King. He shows him when the First Men came to Westeros and made peace with the Children. Then came the Andels and their war with the Children. How the Children of the Forest created the Night King and lost control of their creation. He shows Jaehaerys how Azor and Brandon the Builder defeated the Night King and how the wall was built with the help of Giants.

"I have seen the wall fall." Jae says.

"So have I…You must be ready."

"I will be."

"I know…"

They return to the others and Brynden gifts his magic to Wylis or part of his magic. The rest he bestows on Bran Stark. Then Bryden's body shrivels up and the Children burn his corpse.

ARIANNE

Arianne Martell is a strong young woman who had been preparing herself to be the leader of her people one day. Now she must prepare herself to be Queen. At first Jaehaerys' power scared her; because if he ever decided to abuse that power he would be a very dangerous man. The fact that he used it to drive Stannis, his family, their servants and guards from the castle was a testament to that. She wondered if Aegon the Conqueror and his sister wives possessed such power.

At first she was cautious of him and then as time passed she began to admire him. Meeting him in the flesh was not a disappointment, his youth and looks another bonus. Jae healing her father of his gout only deepened her feelings for him. She talked with Ser Alliser to see him through the eyes of others and everyone had only good things to say about the future King.

Two weeks after her father and uncle leaves the Starks also leave. "You and your cousin Arya make a pair." She says after he boldly takes her arm and walks her back to the castle.

"My father says that she is my mother reborn…I miss her already."

"I feel that way about my cousin Lady Nym. She is so fierce and confident."

"I look forward to meeting the rest of the Martell clan."

He starts singing a song about her. "How long did it take you to come up with that?"

"About a week." He replies. He stops and looks into her beautiful eyes, "And I intend to write many more songs all about you."

"You should write a few about Arya."

"I have."

While Jae is two years younger than she is, he is very mature and confident. Not arrogant like many men in Dorne. Two days after the Starks left she decides to challenge Jae in the training yard. "I thought it was time we danced you and I."

"Just because you have those big beautiful eyes, long hair, and curvaceous body doesn't mean I will let you win."

"If you did I'd be very offended. Don't hold back."

He smiles, "I don't intend to."

They are both using practice weapons. Arianne has reach and speed, but Jae is just as fast if not a little faster. When he gets pass her spear head she switches to quarter staff style, using the spear shaft as well. To throw him off Arianne starts using kicks in her repartee. The sounds produced by their weapons range from wood on steel to steel on steel. She swings left and spins around, trying to catch him with the other end of the spear. He surprises her with a sideways kick, catching her on the right shoulder.

Then he winks at her. Arianne performs a low sweep of his legs, Jae gets inside her guard pulls her close and kisses her on the lips. She headbutts him for his showing off, earning a laugh from those watching. As he stumbles backwards Arianne presses her attack. At the last, minute Jae clips her feet and straddles her. "Do you yield?"

"Never!"

"Well I can't let you up until you do."

"Then I guess we have to stay like this." They both look down as Jae is getting aroused.

"Is that a dagger."

He clears his throat and stands up. Then he helps her up. "Well fought." Jae says.

"Next I will be the winner."

"We shall see."

Everyday she and Jae spend time together and everyday Arianne finds herself more drawn to him each time. He would leave love letters on her door and in her bed. The gifts ranged from dresses he wanted to see her in, to jewelry. One of his gifts was a lock of his hair and another a drop of blood with note that read. So that you will always know that my heart beats for you. If Arianne focused she could actually hear his heart vibrating from the locket of blood.

The day came when they were together, "I have something to tell you."

"And I you."

"I LOVE YOU!" They say at the same time and kiss.
