9. Funerals

Jon found Wolfe placing a flower crown on Luna's head. "I understand that you are Seraf's father", said Jon as he stood next to Wolfe. Wolfe was busy looking at Luna for the last time, answered him, "I am, Your Grace". "Ma rarely spoke of you", said Jon. "We once had a little…, dispute, but we have a few reasons to not mention each other for Seraf's safety", said Wolfe.

Jon noticed the flower crown and said, "I've never seen Ma in a flower crown. Her crowns are usually…, fiery, dragon-like". "I caught her once, making this during our early meetings. When she saw me, she hid the crown, but I snatched it from her, put it on her head and said that she looked even more beautiful than her everyday Rounin battle thingy. I miss those moments. I want to make her my wife after the war is over, but alas…", said Wolfe before he started to sob.

Seraf arrived and covered his mother with a white cloak with a direwolf and dragon sigil. "It's time, father", said Seraf, sorrowfully. "Give me a minute, Seraf, please", said Wolfe. Alexei, bandaged at the neck, appeared from behind and said, "We must learn to let things go, son. Don't torture yourself or her for everyone's sake, please". Wolfe broke in tears. Seraf grabbed his father and pulled him aside.

Among the fallen were Zen, Ken, Damion and two of Aaron's second-in-commands. Lara was badly hurt that Elaine had to bed rest her. Aaron, Alexei, Jon, Morgause, Morgana and Wolfe held out the fire and were prepared to burn the dead, but Wolfe hesitated until Seraf held his hand and together, they burned the fallen ones. Suddenly, the fire burst out big then vanished, leaving a dragon-like egg, a new born phoenix, a new born shark where the emperor hurried himself to pick up and two others that Aaron picked up and hid in his pocket cloak.

Alexei went and grabbed the dragon egg. He handed over to Wolfe and said, "Take care of this". "Rounins don't die that easy", said Morgause. "Unless it's their time", said Morgana. Wolfe held the egg like how a person would cradle a child. "What happens now?", asked Jon. "I'm handing over Ten Nations to you, Your Grace. I just want Fortuna", said Emperor Shinzi, "Place a governor or two to straighten things up, if you may". "I'll get it done", said Jon. The emperor grabbed the phoenix as well and returned back to his country to gather his army and restore peace at Fortuna.

"Seraf", said Alexei, "Since you married Princess Visenya, I think it is wise for you to bring her home now the war has end". "I understand grandfather", said Seraf, "But what about father? I can't just leave him". "I'll be fine, Seraf. Besides, I'm waiting for your mother here", said Wolfe. Jon, Robb, Theon, Sansa and the rest of the Starks bid farewell to Wolfe before Morgana and Morgause sent him back to his home. "Get the Targaryens back home", said Robb. "Hurry, don't think Uncle Serys can't hold on his sanity much longer", said Jon, "I sent Bran and Joff to pick him up from the Red Keep". "I'll head back, to get Serys and Senya", said Seraf before disappearing.

(That night)

Viserys arrived and being escorted to a room. There, he found his wife, asleep and full of injuries and his two youngest children next to her. He ran to his wife and then, hugged his children. "I was so worried", said Viserys as he hugged his children. "Forgive us, father. We left to protect you", said Viserys IV. He kissed his children's foreheads before sitting next to his wife. "Father, I would like to present to you my wife, Princess Yen of Nether Kingdom", said Viserys IV. Viserys turned to see his new daughter-in-law, who is tall, had fiery curl red hair and blue eyes. She curtsied him and Viserys nodded, "Welcome child. I hope you and my son last till death do you part".

"Thank you, Your Grace", said Princess Yen. "Father. Now, off you go, the two of you. I'll take care of your mother", said Viserys. Viserys IV nodded and ushered his wife out. Visenya Ann knelt down next to his father and said, "Father, I…, I'm married as well". Viserys smiled and asked, "To whom that has captured my princess's heart?". "Me, Your Grace", said Seraf, who was at the opposite corner. Viserys was surprised. "Seraf and I had been…, in love for so long. He married me because we love each other", said Visenya Ann.

"That I'm glad because now, I have someone whom I trust to take care of my daughter when I'm gone", said Viserys, "Where's Lady Luna?". "Lady Luna is dead", said Visenya Ann, sobbing. "H-how?", asked Viserys. "She used up all her power. When we burned her body, it turned to a dragon egg. Father has taken it with him to be kept safe", said Seraf. "So we will see her again?", said Viserys. "Yes, but not in any time soon", said Seraf. Viserys nodded and looked over his wife. He was grateful that she's alive, but losing a friend like Luna hit him.

"It's late, why don't you two go off to bed now? I can handle Lara", said Viserys, "Take her to bed, Seraf. Senya seems tired". Seraf picked his wife into his arms and they left Viserys and Lara alone in the room. Viserys kissed Lara's forehead and said, "Come back to me, my love. I can't bear to live without you". Elaine came to check up on Lara before she retired for the night. Viserys carefully lay down next to her and slowly fall into a deep slumber, listening to her even breathing.
