JON POV

Jon couldn't believe the audacity that the king had to summon him and his mother after what he did. Jon hated him but there was a part of him that wanted his father, even if he was older now, he never had a father, Grandfather Rickard and Uncle Ned were always there for him, but none of them filled the empty place of his father, even after what they told him about what Rhaegar Targaryen did, a small part of him wanted him to be good and to be a loving father but now he knew that that will never happen.

They reached the door and found Ser Barristan guarding the door, ser Arthur trailing behind them, Barristan the bold bowed to them and opened the door, They got in hand in hand and saw him sitting there in his desk holding his head with his hands, he looked up at them when the came in and Jon noticed that his eyes were red, he motioned for them to sit down and they did, Jon looked at his mother and saw her looking at the king with narrowed eyes.

"I'm surprised that you summoned me, your grace, I thought I was useless to you," his mother said boldly, Jon felt anger and amusement when he saw his father lower his head when she said that.

"You could never be useless to me Lya, I'm sorry for everything but would you hear me out till I explain my actions," his father said with a soft voice, Jon didn't know what to do, he looked at his mother and saw her expression soften a little then she nodded at the king to continue.

"You know I was obsessed with the prophecy, but when you were pregnant I couldn't care less about it, I knew that if I invested in it too much I'll lose my family, before Jon was born, my mother summoned me to the Capital, no one knew about you beside me and Elia, so when I told my mother about you and that she was going to be blessed with a third grandchild she was happy but then turned sad and serious, and she told me something that was kept a secret from me, she told me that our ancestor Aegon the first had the sight and he prophesised something, but after the Dance a part of the prophecy was lost, she told me that from union of the dragon and the wolf will be born a dragon, she didn't why but she knew that Aegon said that that dragon must be protected and be kept safe at all cost until the dragon within him emerge from the wolf's skin, only then can he protect himself, she told me that you and Jon wouldn't be safe in King's Landing, at first I was hesitant but my mother wasn't one for prophecies or tales, so even though it shattered my heart I would've done anything to keep both of you safe, I wanted to tell you everything but I knew you were too stubborn to see sense so I did what I had to do so that you can go back to Winterfell and be safe there," his father explained which shocked them, he stayed there frozen in his seat with all emotions flowing through his body, anger, happiness, regret. He looked at his mother and saw tears flowing running down her cheeks, he looked back at his father and saw tears in his eyes too,

his father continued "I know I shouldn't tell you, I'm sorry, but after six and ten years and when I saw you, I couldn't keep it for long, I tried but I figured that if you have three dragons you're a safe a possible and I decided to tell,"

ELIA POV

Elia was sitting next to her husband with her son next to her, Cersei Lannister was on the other side of Rhaegar with her twins next to her, she looked at the Stark family and she saw Lyanna sitting next to her brother Eddard, and his children next to them, she didn't see Jon sitting with them and then she noticed that Rhaenys was missing too, she noticed the looks passed between them, she turned to Aegon and he looked a little sad and seemed like didn't want to be here.

"Aegon, where's your sister?" she asked her son.

"She went with Jon to see the dragons,"

"I thought he would've invited you too," she asked confused, she knew they got a good start.

"He did, but as the Crown prince, I must be here but Jon told me that he'll take me to see them afterward," Aegon said and smiled at his mother.

"I hope that you and your sister get along with Jon, I know you two are lonely," she told her son.

"We got along well mother after you left yesterday we kept talking for hours about our lives, we jested and laughed together, I know it's weird but I felt relaxed with him, I know Rhae felt it too and Jon is a good man and quite funny too and he kept indulging Rhae on her countless questions about the north and the dragons, not to mention that he humiliated me today in the courtyard," Aegon assured her and laughed at the last part.

"Well, I'm glad that you got along with your brother, I know Rhaenys did too, I can see it in her eyes and I'm glad you finally got someone that you can talk to other than me and he's your brother after all and Lyanna told me that he's an honorable man who was kind and passionate with those he cares about,"

"What did you talk about with Jon's mother?" Aegon asked slightly intrigued.

"It was quite awkward at first, she thought Rhaegar lied to her when he told her that I gave him my blessings for them to marry, I assured her that he didn't lie about that and then she seemed to relax and we talked about you three, I told her about you and Rhaenys, Dorne and the Water Gardens while she told me about Jon and the north and Winterfell," she explained to her son.

The first day of the tourney was boring, the real competition wouldn't begin until the last days, she excused herself and went to her chambers to rest, she laid on her bed for a while that until she got up and made her way to check after her daughter, she made her way to Rhaenys's room and entered to find her eldest dressed in a beautiful silver dress and her hair was wet probably from a bath.

"How are you doing today my sweet Rhaenys?" she asked her daughter

"Excellent mother, my dream finally came true, I rode a dragon today, you wouldn't believe it mother, the freedom that you get when the air plays with your hair and how powerful you feel up there in the air and the connection that you feel with a dragon..." Rhaenys trails off, she knew her daughters loved anything about dragons and always requested her Aunt Daenerys to let her look at the dragon egg she got, she also knew about her love for the north and the Kings of Winter.

"Well, I am glad that you're happy Rhaenys, and I'm thankful for Jon for granting you your wish," She told Rhaenys as they sat down.

"Me too, mother, and to be honest I didn't know how to feel at first when we found out about Jon, I thought that I would hate him too at first then I tried to ignore him but when I asked Arthur about him and I got interested in meeting him, and I'm glad that I did, I know it's weird, after all, we just met but I care about him, I don't know how but I do," Rhaenys confessed to her which made her smile at the thought, she knew Rhaenys is falling in love and she knew that Jon was too based on the glances and the looks they gave each other yesterday in the feast.

"Jon is a good man Rhaenys, it's good for you and Aegon to finally have someone other than me that you can happy with, I'm happy for you Rhaenys,"

They were interrupted when Aegon came into the room and sat down with them without saying a word until Rhaenys got annoyed by his silence, Rhaenys always liked to know things and unfortunately, Aegon didn't indulge her much with her inquisitive nature, she was glad when Aegon told her that Jon kept answering Rhaenys's questions

"Egg, what do you want?"

"Father told me to find you and mother and wait for a moment then take you both to his solar," Aegon said with a shrug, she swore that Aegon probably didn't care for anything and rarely got serious about anything other than swordplay or dragons.

"Well, did he tell you why, brother?" asked Rhaenys irritated by his impassiveness, Elia was too annoyed with it but she got used to it after all these years.

"No he didn't but I saw Jon and Lyanna Stark entering his solar after I left," said Aegon calmly, that peeked her interest, she knew very well that those two would like nothing more than cut Rhaegar's head off and she couldn't blame them, she never approved of what he did and she would never condone such actions.

"Gods, father will get himself killed, it's clear that Jon hates him, and I have no doubt that Jon wouldn't hesitate in killing father if he insulted his mother or hinted at anything, you saw how close they were at the feast yesterday and the way he glared at those lords who stared at his mother," Rhaenys said, Rhaenys always noticed things the others didn't.

"You are right Rhaenys it's best that we get there before a war breaks out," she told her children and led them to the King's solar, she found Arthur and Barristan guarding the door, they bowed to her and opened the door for them, and when she entered she couldn't believe herself, Rhaegar was embracing Lyanna with tears in his eyes, she never saw Rhaegar crying before but now she could see the tears running down his cheeks as clear as day, she turned right and saw Jon face the wall with his eyes closed and tears running down his face with his fists clenched, she, Aegon and Rhaenys could only stare at the scene not knowing what to do, they jumped back as Jon yelled at punched the wall with all her strength from rage, she could see that the stone wall cracked a little from the power of the hit which made their eyes widen, it was impossible for a normal man to be that strong, Rhaenys got closer to Jon and put her hands on his shoulder, he opened his eyes full of rage and hurt but they softened when they landed on Rhaenys, his body relaxed at her touch, Rhaenys hugged her brother and told him that everything will be fine. Rhaegar and Lyanna noticed their presence and broke their embrace, after a moment all of them sat down, she knew that Lyanna and Jon hated Rhaegar, what could possibly explain the situation, and Rhaegar crying?, she looked at Rhaegar questioningly as he wiped the tears away from his eyes.

"Care to explain the situation Rhaegar?" she asked her husband which made him tell her about his mother's warning and the prophecy. Elia didn't know what to say, all these years and the burden and the hurt that all of them endured for a prophecy, she didn't know what to say, she turned and looked at Aegon and she saw that he was shocked as well as she, she looked at Rhaenys and saw her holding Jon's hand tightly while staring at her father until she spoke

"So all of this, all these years because of a prophecy? and you marrying that Lannister bitch, how can you justify that?" Rhaenys asked her father angrily, and she agreed with her daughter, if what he said was true, then why did he marry Cersei Lannister, she knew that Lyanna was a kind and good women unlike Cersei who was arrogant and vain

"Somehow news of Elia got out and then Tywin saw his chance and said that the succession must be secure and he offered his daughter, I wanted to refuse, I hate Cersei, but I couldn't put Jon and Lyanna in danger so I agreed, I consummated the marriage and never looked her way ever again," Rhaegar said with his head looking down, she knew it was true, it's all the servants could talk about at the time, the king who hated his second queen and never got in her bed after the wedding night, and that made Cersei enraged but she couldn't deny it.

"And it's true, what Rhaegar said about Jon," Lyanna said with a low voice, which surprised her, she never believed in prophecies and she didn't think Lyanna believed them too.

"When I got back to Winterfell and told my father what happened, he told me that Aegon and Torrhen Stark both had the sight and they both prophecised of the coming of the union of the dragon and the wolf and that he must be protected at all cost, every lord of Winterfell swore that vow and my father explained it to us," Lyanna continued shocking all four of them, even Rhaegar.

"You knew?" Rhaegar asked in a whisper with wide eyes.

"Yes, my father told me, he thought the house Targaryen forgot his promise and vows after the dance of dragons but he told me that the Starks didn't and once Jon reached maturity he gave him the box that Aegon left for Torrhen Stark," Lyanna continued until Jon got up and kicked his chair making it fly backwards and yelled and he clutched his head "this is all my fault,"

Rhaegar stood up and approached his son and embraced him, Jon buried his head into his father's shoulder, she couldn't help but tear at the scene in front of her,

"None of it is your fault, Jon, you are my son and I love you with all my heart, I know that you probably hate me but I would rather have you safe than have your love," Rhaegar told his son, Jon pulled out of the embrace and looked at his father and said "How could I hate you after what you've done for me and my mother? you are my father after all and this is my fault, maybe if..." he trails off before Rhaegar hugged him again.

"Again, I'm happy that all of you are safe my son," Rhaegar said with tears, they stayed there for a moment until they broke the embrace and Rhaegar got back and sat down on his chair and Jon sat next to Rhaenys, she saw Lyanna smile at her husband and son, they sat down for a while in a comfortable silence and slightly awkward one until Aegon spoke again "Will you tell us now how did you hatch those dragons of yours, brother?"

Jon chuckled a little and shook his head and for the first time in years she saw Rhaegar smile at both his sons,

"Well, after my six and ten name days, mother and grandfather called me to their solar and told me the truth, Grandfather Rickard gave me the chest where I found my two Valyrian steel swords Fang and Claw and a map, I took the map and followed it beyond the wall where I found the dragons," he explained to them.

"So you just found them?" asked Rhaegar confused, so was the rest of them aside from Lyanna.

"Well, you won't believe me even if I told you who I found there," Jon told them which even increased their curiosity

"Just tell us, Jon, we'll believe you," Rhaenys said softly as she squeezed his hand.

"Since I was little, I was plagued with dreams of a big heart three in the middle of the snow and a crow with three eyes, when I followed the map it lead me there, I found the children of the forest there and Brynden Rivers," Jon said, she remembered something about Brynden Rivers but it was said that he was dead beyond the wall on a ranging, she could see Rhaegar's eyes widen and his mouth hung open.

"Impossible, Bloodraven died in a raging beyond the wall," Rhaegar told Jon which made the latter chuckle.

"And that's what I said, that until I noticed the red mark on his neck, and he told me that he came beyond the wall to look for the children and master his powers," Jon told them, she could still remember when that creature revealed herself to them and she was most surprised by it, she never believed the stories and deemed them just snarks and grumkins.

"Children? as children of the forest, but those were extinct for thousands of years now," said Rhaegar, oh how much she wanted to see his reaction when he sees Leaf as Jon called the children that were with him,

"No father, we thought so too, that until we saw one of them in Jon's chambers," Aegon said casually as always.

"There's one here, in Harrenhal?" Rhaegar asked in a whisper with wide eyes.

"Aye, three of them came with Jon when he came back from the wall," said Lyanna.

"But you didn't tell us how you just found dragons there," Aegon said

"Well, I found them there with Lord Brynden, they were laying there not moving like stone, but you can still hear their breathing, Bloodraven told me that he saw me waking them, then I felt something overcome me and I woke them," Jon told them,

"How did you wake them?" Rhaegar asked with awe in his voice probably thinking about that damn prophecy again, 'waking dragons from stone' he told her many time that Aegon will do it because he's the prince that was promised and now he couldn't be more wrong.

"It's not a pretty but I shall tell you, I cut them slightly and drank their blood, then I cut my hand and made them drink my blood, after a few moments they woke up and screeched at my face then blew their fire on me but I didn't burn, instead my face, my hair, and eyes changed," Jon told them, which made her grimace at the thought of drinking blood,

"Until the dragon emerge from the wolf's skin," Rhaegar said to himself and they could barely hear it, she understood the wolf's skin is the Stark features and the dragon is the Valyrian features now,

"Now we're finally together as a family should be," She told them which brought smiles from all of them, then she heard the door open, she turned her head toward the door and she saw Cersei Lannister with her twins come in, she saw Cersei turns red from anger when she saw Lyanna and Jon sitting with them, and her twins Joffrey and Visenya both followed her example,

she faked a smile to them and said "I see that all the family is gathered,"

Jon laughed at her face and said with an innocent smile on his face " The seven hells would freeze before I call a Lannister my family," that made Aegon and Rhaenys smile widely while Cersei's eyes hardened and glared at Jon and her face turned red as she said

"I wouldn't call a bastard and wolf whore my family," As soon as she said those words Jon stood up and before anyone could blink Jon had a knife to the 'Lannister bitch's' throat as her daughter referred to her, she never truly hated the Lannister women but now she was enraged at her for ruining their perfect family's reunion and happy moment, she saw ser Jaime draw his sword

Jon looked over Cersei's shoulder and straight at the Lannister Kingsguard who was glaring at Jon and said "What are you going to do Lannister? Kill me? I can assure you I could slit her throat, kill you before you can flinch,"

Then Jon turned and looked straight at Cersei with pure hatred in his eyes and said with an icy tone that sent shiver through her body "I make to you now a solemn vow if I even hear rumors that you insulted my mother I swear to you that when I'm finished with you the flaying of the Boltons of Old will look like child play,"

Cersei was enraged but with terror in her eyes, Elia too was worried, if something happened to Cersei, Tywin Lannister will reply with war, the Old Lion doesn't pass over insults easily and he's ruthless, but Jon continued saying "I'm not a bastard and for you, even Aegon and Rhaenys are bastards because they aren't your children with father, so I will tell you this now, your son will never sit on the Iron throne, even if I have to dedicate my life to it, I'll make sure of it, and I dare you to call my mother a whore one more time for the only whore I see here is undoubdetly you,"

Joffrey was fuming and he ran toward Jon with a dagger in hand but as soon as Joffrey was in arm's reach, Jon hit him with his leg to his chest throwing him to the ground, Cersei was glaring at Jon and her breathing became fast, then Cersei looked at Rhaegar who was glaring at his third wife with pure hatred

"You would allow him to threaten your queen's life and attack your son like that?" the Lannister scum asked Rhaegar despite his glaring at her with hatred,

"You insulted my queen with calling her a whore, you insulted my second son and prince of Summerhall calling him a bastard, you insulted me by saying that I have no honor for laying with someone outside my marriage bed, this is treason and it's punishment is death but I'll pass your insults this time, but the next you'll be punished accordingly," Rhaegar said with his kingly voice filled with anger and hate and that made Cersei even more enraged and humiliated after calling Lyanna his Queen and Jon as Prince of Summerhall meaning that he's second in line of succession, Rhaegar turned to Jaime and told him to escort Cersei and her children back to their chambers.

"You can expect Tywin Lannister to hear of an extremely exaggerated tale of what happened here," Rhaenys said after they settled down, and she nodded her agreement with her daughter

"If Tywin Lannister goes to war over this, he'll be crushed," Jon said confidently.

"Jon, even if you have dragons that don't make you invincible, dragons are killable son, the dance proved that," Rhaegar told his son, but Jon just had a wide smile on his face

"I can assure you, father, that those dragons will be very hard to kill, and the children of the forest are my allies, and the things they can do are nearly limitless," Jon replied with a confident smile, and that reassured her a little, she can still remember some things about the children of the forest from when Rhaenys used to come and bombard her with what she learned.

"Forget Cersei and Tywin, they can be dealt with, now son, tell me about yourself," Rhaegar told Jon and so they continued talking about the North and north of the wall and Winterfell and his life.
