DAENARYS
A week after Jon left Dany learns that she is with child. A great feast is held to celebrate, but Viserys interrupts the feast demanding that Khal Drogo fulfill his promise or he would take Dany after cutting the baby from her womb. While she was sad to watch her brother die by melted gold being poured over his head; Viserys did threaten her unborn child. Later Daenarys was almost poisoned by an assassin. If not for Ser Jorah she would be dead. It was then that Khal Drogo vowed he would cross the poison water and take the Iron Chair of Dany's ancestors. He would tare down the men of the west in their stone houses and Iron Suits.
The road to glory was not easy and Daenarys hated the idea of Slavery. Perhaps Ser Jorah was right, If she was stronger she would have ignored the mistreatment of the Lamb people and Khal Drogo would still be alive. Her baby would have been born, but then she would not have her Dragons. Daenarys had given one of the Dragon Eggs to her nephew Aegon and kept two. She hatched them by burning the witch who betrayed her with her husband. Fire and Blood are the words of House Targaryen. She named the Dragons Drogon and Viserion after her husband and brother.
Daenarys thought things would turn around when her people made it to Qarth. But once again she felt the cold sting of betrayal. Her benefactor Xaro Xhoan Daxos allies with the Head of the House of the Undying and slaughters the high council of Qarth after stealing Dany's Dragons. She recovers her Dragons and takes over the city. After leaving Qarth Daenarys travels to the city of Astapor where she steals the Unsullied army from the Masters of Astapor and acquires a councilor in the form of Ser Barristan Selmy. The legendary Knight had been dismissed by King Joffrey; he traveled to Essos found Dany saved her life and swore to protect her.
After killing the masters and freeing the slaves of Astapor. Daenarys marches on the city of Yunkai where she gains the loyalty of Daario Naharis and the Second Sons. She sacks the city and frees the slaves. With an army ten thousand strong and two growing Dragons she marches on the city of Meereen. After taking the city Dany decides to remain and learn how to rule.
Because of her actions Daenarys has disrupted slave trade in Slaver's Bay and throughout most of Essos. As such her enemies plot from within the city and across Essos. Daario Naharis had just returned from Yunkai, as the Masters of Yunkai had thrown down the council she left in place to rule in her name. "They call themselves the Sons of the Harpy..." Daario says standing next to Grey Worm. "They are in league with the Masters of Astapor, Yunkai, Qarth, Volantis and many other cities throughout Essos..."
"I want you and Grey Worm to hunt down these cowards and destroy them..."
"It is not just the nobles your Grace...There are slaves who are angry at the execution of Mossador...They to are helping the Sons of the Harpy..."
"Find them and kill them...And kill anyone helping them...Man or woman and place their heads on pikes..."
"Yes Your grace..."
"Step forward..." Missandei Daenarys' interpreter says. Missandei once served Krazyns mo Nakloz who tried to sell Daenarys the Unsullied for her Dragon Drogon. He paid dearly for his folly. "You stand before Daenarys Stormborn of House Targaryen...First of her name...The Unburnt Mother of Dragons...Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea...Breaker of chains..."
Daenarys raises her hand stopping Missandei, "I know you...You are Captain...Pennigast…"
"Yes your Grace...Aegon the Seventh of his name sent me with a message..."
She signals him to walk up the steps. Dany takes the letter, "Aegon?" Ser Barristan asks.
"I will tell you later..." Dany says reading in silence.
To her Grace
My Aunt
Queen Daenarys Targaryen
I wanted you to hear it from me and I am sorry that I cannot bring you this news in person...I am sorry for all you have suffered and lost...A warrior such as Khal Drogo should not have died in such a manner...I too have lost...and like you through those losses I was able to wake the Dragon...I have claimed my birth right as Aegon the Seventh of his name...I did this in order to avenge the Starks and the Targaryens...I have hatched the egg you gave me and named him Rhaegal after my father...By the time you get this letter I hope my business at the wall will be concluded and I can march south and take the Iron Throne for us...
I know you loved Khal Drogo and you have taken this Daario Naharis as a lover, but you belong to me and me alone...We are two fires meant to burn brightly together...
When you have tamed the Free Cities of the East come to me...I love you and will wait for you...
With love and kindest regards Aegon Targaryen the Seventh of his name
Daenarys blushes as she folds the letter up. "Your Grace what does it say?" Ser Jorah asks.
"It is private for my eyes only..."
"Your Grace I also have this..."
Pennigast hands her a scroll, "And what is this?"
"His Grace wrote a list of people who are powerful members of the Sons of the Harpy...King Aegon has also charged me with hiring a swell-sword company known as the Windblown...Five thousand strong...They have been well paid...and will obey your commands..."
A man steps forward and bows, "I am known only as the Tattered Prince...Your Grace...Give me one of your cities to rule in your name and you will never have to worry about the masters rising to power again..."
"You have to prove yourself trustworthy and capable before I give you such a boon..."
"I will and I will start by hunting down these Sons of the Harpy for you..."
Later Daenarys meets with her advisers and she explains to those who don't know about her brother's nephew. "I should have known..." Ser Barristan says.
"How could you?" Ser Jorah asks.
"I knew Prince Rhaegar all his life...I never believed he kidnapped Lyanna Stark or raped her."
"You know this Aegon has a better claim to the Iron Throne than you..." Asher Forrester says. Like Ser Jorah he is in exile.
"Yes I know..." Later Daario pays Dany a visit, "I thought we discussed this about you coming to my room uninvited..." She sits in a chair combing her hair while he kisses her neck.
"I've missed you..."
She leans away, "I can't..."
"Why not?"
She sighs, "Because I am in love with someone else..."
"Who? Not Jorah the Andel…" She looks at him, "Oh!"
"I'm sorry..."
"Nothing to be sorry about..."
She takes his hand, "There will be other women..."
"After a man has had a goddess...Nothing else will compare..." Dany kisses him on the cheek and he leaves. Over the next few days the Windblowm, along with Daario and Grey Worm hunt down the Sons of the Harpy. They send false messages to their allies in other cities and disrupt their plans. Everyday public executions are held.
