7. Call For Help

(Introducing Seraf's father)

Theon, Jon and Robb sat at the open garden as they watched their sons dueled together. Viserys had left all his power to Rhaegar II because without Lara, he is as good as a soulless being walking like a dead man without a purpose. Rhaella and Raenys were on their way to Fortuna for a political visit. Jon was at wits end with his cousins.

"We must do something", said Theon. "Like what? What can we do?", said Robb. Then, Tyrion and Arya arrived. "Your Grace, beg our pardon, but Lady Luna has left me instructions to safe guard this for you", said Tyrion as he handed Jon a stack of official letters. Jon, Robb and Theon took turns to read them. "That bitch!", Theon cursed. "How could we not see this?", asked Jon. "No one knew nor anyone anticipates it, not even Lady Luna or Lady Lara", said Tyrion.

"Jon, do something", said Arya. "What should I do? We're trap. We can't do a sudden or hidden move without any of The Antipodean soldier or Varys notices. They're suffocating us", said Jon. "I have an idea", said Rhaegar appearing through a black mist – like all Rounins do. "How in the Sevens you did that?", asked Robb. Rhaegar showed his answer by turning his eyes black with brown irises and his hair changed to brown colour. "You're a Rounin", said Jon.

"I discovered years ago, but I kept it hidden. I knew it would serve me when the time is right. I often practice alone and recently, I just mastered how to teleport to other places and dimensions and how to multiply myself. Perhaps with Your Graces permissions, I can go look for Lady Luna and the rest and perhaps, other forces that are willing to help our cause", Rhaegar II suggested. Jon, Robb and Theon looked at each other. "That could work. What have you found so far?", asked Theon.

"I think I know where Lady Elaine is, but I need to be sure. Azreal sensed me in the dream state, but I didn't concentrate long enough to be in the dream state. I'll try later", said Rhaegar II. "We can find them, but we must tread softly", said Jon. "Understood, cousin", said Rhaegar II and he dissolved into black mist and left. "He's our only hope, Jon", said Robb. "Let's hope this works", said Jon.

(Meanwhile)

Elaine was busy sewing her husband's old torn shirt. Her husband – Luther Black or by the Priests, he was known as Black Hat, the first human vampire. He had yellow eyes and dark hair. Elaine nearly died in a battle and Luther bit her, turning her into a human vampire and made her his mate. Her eyes were once turquoise blue now turned yellow with a slight of green due to the mix of her old eyes. Her blond had shown brighter and had more vibrant to it. A couple years later, she gave birth to their only child – a son named Azreal.

Luther came in and tossed his wide brimmed hat at the chair at the corner of the room. Then, he jumped into the bed, next to Elaine. "Where's Azreal?", asked Elaine. "He went for a run. Don't you want to ask me how my day was?", said Luther. Luther had defeated the army of Priests and now rules over the city where the Church once ruled. "How was your day, husband?", asked Elaine, as she smiled at his antics. "Dreadful; humans tried to rebel and ended up being lunch. I thought I lost this shirt", said Luther. "I borrowed it. When we fought during the Starks against the Lannisters, I was wearing this and I think one of the Lannister tried to stab me, but I bit his head off", said Elaine. Luther purred in her ears and Elaine moaned with pleasure – only Luther knew her weakness. "I like it when you fight and when you bite people's head off", he whispered seductively at her ears. "I know", she said, turning her head to face him and give him a kiss. She set her work aside to give her full attention to her husband who had long for her presence.

Meanwhile, Azreal went on his usual run when he bumped into someone who appeared out of nowhere. "Watch where you're going!", he yelled, only to notice the person's hair was silver and he's wearing what it looked like Lady Lara's old Rounin cloak and the only Rounin with silver hair was Viserys Targaryen IV. "Serys? What on earth are you doing here?", asked Azreal. When the man got up, it wasn't Viserys IV, it was Rhaegar II. "Surprised?", said Rhaegar II.

"How…? Wait a minute, how did you do that?", asked Azreal. "Do what? Teleport?", said Rhaegar II and Azreal nodded. "I discovered years ago, but I kept it hidden. I knew it would serve me when the time is right. I often practice alone and recently, I just mastered how to teleport to other places and dimensions and how to multiply myself. Uncle Jon gave me permission whilst The Antipodean is at their light guard, I would slip away. He's not very happy with my sister", said Rhaegar II. "Who wouldn't? I would too", said Azreal. "How's everyone?", asked Rhaegar II. "Hiding; everyone is at different locations. Here, it's just me and mum. Come meet my dad", said Azreal. The two of them teleported back to the building, which used to be the old Church HQ and now it is Luther's main HQ.

Azreal knocked on the door and Luther groaned with annoyance. "Don't be annoyed. He's your son. Like father like son", said Elaine. Luther got up and put on the shirt he wore earlier and waited for Elaine to readjust her dress and sat properly before opening the door. When he opened to see a Targaryen that isn't Viserys IV, he growled and his fangs drew out longer. "HOW DARE HE STEPS FOOT INTO MY HOME?!", yelled Luther. He was about to attack Rhaegar II when Azreal stood in the middle. "He's a Rounin! You cannot hurt him!", said Azreal.

"Rounin? How?", asked Elaine. "I found out but I didn't tell anyone. I knew it would help. Please, Uncle Jon sent me. We need help", said Rhaegar II. "Come in, Rhaegar. Azreal, make sure no servants within the next two floors below and tell Constantine to help you with it", said Elaine. Azreal left to find his father's loyal captain to execute the order. Elaine asked Rhaegar II to sit at the couch while she sat at her chair on her husband's lap.

"Help will be on the way. It is just matter of time", said Elaine. "Uncle Jon and King Robb are restless. They just found out Ella was behind all this", said Rhaegar II. "Your mother was the first to find out about it and might I add, she was disappointed, hence the plan to leave Westeros", said Elaine, "But all and all, she loves all of you, despite everything". "Where is she?", asked Rhaegar II. Luther growled, but Elaine calmed him down. "Please, I need to know. I miss her", said Rhaegar II again. "Why? You'll tell your sister Lara's whereabouts?", said Luther.

"I know you don't trust me, sir. I understand that, but let me make it clear that I am a Rounin as well. Although unofficial, I go by the vow. Please, I need to see her; I seek her forgiveness", said Rhaegar II. Elaine looked at Luther and he looked at her back. "You break our trust, you're dinner", said Luther. "Find Azreal and get him to take you to her", said Elaine. Rhaegar II nodded and left. He found Azreal by the elevator. "I heard", said Azreal. Rhaegar was not surprised. Vampires have supersonic hearing. Then, the two of them had teleported themselves elsewhere.

(Meanwhile)

Viserys IV was at Luna's beach house back porch, reading while Seraf and Visenya Ann took a walk along the shores. Luna, on the other hand, was tangled in bed with Wolfe. "Jon and Robb sound like nice kids. Theon sounds like a jerk to me", said Wolfe. Luna slapped his arm playfully. "He became a jerk because his family members are jerks, but Theon change a lot after Sansa accepted his marriage proposal", said Luna. "You are an inspiration to them", said Wolfe.

"As you and Seraf are to me", said Luna. "Maybe I should come with you this time. I'll make sure the two of you stay out of trouble", said Wolfe. Luna kissed him sweetly and giggled. "Good, everyone has been wondering who is the man brave enough to steal my heart and father my son", said Luna. They kissed and before anything intimate can happen, they heard Seraf's voice, as if he's breaking up a fight. Wolfe groaned and said, "Do you know how hard it is for the two of us to be like this?". Luna rolled her eyes and got up. She put on her blue kimono, where the colour matched Wolfe's eyes and walked out to see Rhaegar II and Viserys IV being restrained by Seraf, Visenya Ann and Azreal.

"Enough!", Luna's voice bellowed throughout the beach and the trio stopped. "He's not supposed to be here. He's one of them!", said Seraf. "Please, you must understand! I have my reasons!", said Rhaegar II. "Lies! You and Raenys are Ella's loyal lapdog for years!", yelled Viserys IV. "She said enough!", said Wolfe, appearing next to Luna. He turned to his son and said, "Take a walk, Seraf". Visenya Ann pulled Seraf's hand and the two of them took their leaves. "Viserys, get your mother", said Luna. Viserys IV looked at Rhaegar II before disappearing. "Listen to me, I trust you. You attack Luna and I'll drown and bury you here. Understand?", said Wolfe. "Dad threatened to make him dinner if he breaks our trust", said Azreal. Rhaegar II looked at him; Wolfe reminded him of Seraf and he wondered who Wolfe is to Luna. He nodded and Luna invited him in.

Rhaegar II sat down, opposite of Wolfe and Luna. "Lara's old uniform, where did you get it?", asked Luna. "Father gave it to me. Mother must've left it behind", said Rhaegar II. "How did you get here?", asked Wolfe. "I um…, teleport?", said Rhaegar II. "You're…, a Rounin?", asked Luna again. Rhaegar II nodded and said, "I known for years, but I kept it because I knew it would serve me a purpose. I never meant to disrespect my mother. Those were a façade. I love her and I did it to protect her from Ella. She seems to inherit the madness from my grandfather". "So it seems", said Luna.

"Would it be so bold if I ask who are you?", Rhaegar II pointed at Wolfe. "I'm Seraf's father, Wolfe Hawkins", said Wolfe. "Wolfe? That makes sense, considering the fact half of Seraf's life revolves amongst the Stark children", said Rhaegar II, "But how come you weren't around that part of his life?". "Things get…, complicated", said Luna. "To protect Seraf, we made sacrifices. Seraf is one of a kind, although a weak water dragon thanks to our mixed heritage, but it is for the best", said Wolfe. Then, Lara came with a grim looking Viserys IV. She ran to her first born son and hugged him. Rhaegar II explained and Lara understood. Viserys IV was a little bit reluctant to believe, but what matters now that his mother is happy and the chance to go home seemed slightly higher. Luna and Wolfe let the mother and sons reunited while they escaped for a little privacy.

"If I were to tell them that I once abandon you while you were pregnant with Seraf because back then, we were young and I didn't want to take the responsibility, what would they do to me?", asked Wolfe as they walked along the shores. "Jon, Robb and Theon would tear you to pieces and your head would decorate the Red Keep, but I won't let that happen", said Luna. "You won't?", said Wolfe. Luna tip-toed and kissed him. Wolfe held her by the waist and returned the kiss. Luna broke the kiss and said, "Time to find your son". They walked and found Seraf and Visenya Ann sitting by a log.

"Senya, your mother is here. Why don't you go and see her?", said Luna. "Leave Seraf to us", said Wolfe. Visenya Ann nodded and teleported back to the beach house. Wolfe sat on the left while Luna sat at Seraf's right side. "Do we have to trust him?", asked Seraf. "Seems legit enough", said Wolfe. "The emperor has his plans and back-up plans, so we're covered", said Luna. Then, there was silence at first. "What happened if one of us dies?", asked Seraf. "Don't say such a thing", said Wolfe. "What if?", asked Seraf again.

"Don't say it Seraf. I made a mistake once and when I realized it, I regretted everything I have caused your mother pain and agony. I won't let that happen again and I can't live with myself if any Rounin come to tell me that I have to prepare a funeral for the two of you", said Wolfe. He immediately hugged his son and held Luna's hand. "I love you two. You two give me a purpose in life and I wished I had the paternal feeling earlier instead of abandoning your mother when she told me she was pregnant with you. I wish I could turn back time and spend all those years you growing, giving you the childhood that I didn't have", said Wolfe again.

"I love you, dad. You know that", said Seraf and Wolfe kissed his forehead. Luna smiled. She enjoyed watching all the Stark children and Theon grew in front of her, but what she's looking was the best sight in her life. "I love you", she mouthed at him and he replied, "I love you a thousand more".
