I had been staring for hours deep into the strange lands known as southorios the surface was thick with an endless green it is said a man of my blood had rode his dragon across the continent in search of its southern border but never located it, southorios is an endless land filled with fear, disease and mystery. Many treasure hunters sailed to the southernmost continent in search of riches but were only ever met with disease or the immense force of my Brindled army. My eyes finally escaped the forests and turned to the tall crimson haired valyrian known as Maelor Aragon who had been escorted to my city by his small household army numbering around 5000 they all stood awaiting orders before the great lord dismissed them.

He strolled toward me dwindling a gold dragon between his fingers flipping it upwards air grabbing it as it fell, 'Have the preparations been made?'I asked as i began to wonder towards Maelor ,'Yes they have, my daughter will be wed to the in the coming days, we have the ships needed to ferry you to Essos, Lord Hand' His hand gestured to the bay which held a fleet of several hundred large ships,'Can the fleet ferry all of our king's men? I said doubtfully, there were thousands and thousands of men in the Valyrian army.'I believe the ships can hold 100 thousand men and when we reach slaver's bay and conquer the cities there will be more ships' He said proudly but i knew this pride was misplaced our forces were 200,000 strong and it would take a long time to cross the gulf, 'We have twice as many men as you can hold on these ships.' I paused stroking my silver whiskers,'How many men will we need to take Astapor?' i would suspect no more than a tenth of our forces but the strength of the unsullied is legendary,'I would say 50 thousand, the unsullied are very powerful but they are slaves, slaves can be brought.'He giggled throwing the dragon into the mud, 'Are you suggesting we purchase the unsullied?' This was achievable we have had an entire continent to ourselves we have enough resources to feed a million men and enough money to buy a second army of unsullied are trade with the summer isles had been very successful.'Well it would consolidate our forces and ensure a fast siege, money is power and new valyria is very powerful.' He was correct but older brother disliked using his money to secure victory he had not paid a penny for his current force, he convinced them through other means, darker means. 'Yes you are correct although my brother isn't a fan of the cockless but perhaps an army of sellswords could be useful.' he reached around his head and scratched the hair on his neck,'I have heard whispers from the west the golden company is said to never break a contract and they were sworn to house blackfire perhaps there services could be paid for by our support in there next attempt at the iron throne.' The blackfires had been involved in our escape and i have no doubt would come to our cause but the price for there support may not be worth it, 'Perhaps we will discuss this on the morrow at the council meeting you and the commander of your house guard will be expected to attend.' I began to turn and walk back toward the gates my guard Ser Merlyn following closely to my side,'Of course my Lord' The dragon bowed.
