Chapter 23. Conquest of Essos

Braavos

The port of Braavos with wild fire flung from the ships of Daenarys' Royal Navy forces. Overhead her Dragons Dragon, Viserion, and Rhaegal rain fire from their mouths. Daenarys stands on her command ship with Justin at her side as the smoke rises in the distance. They had been bombarding the city for the past three days. Dany looks toward the sun which is setting and raises her hand. The bombardment stops and the three Dragons fly back towards her ship.

"We will give them a night to think it over…" She says to Justin. The two of them retire to their cabin and begin ripping each other's armor off. They make love for most of the night. Then they lay in each other's arms talking.

The next morning Dany throws up when they bring her some food. "You are regnant milady…" The Grand Maester says.

"A son we will name Brandon the second of his name…After my father…"

Dany smiles, "What if it is a girl?"

"I will be just as happy…Her name will be Brynna…Then I will put another in you…"

"First lets take the city…"

The Braavosy refused to surrender and Justin leads his men into the bay and attacks the city from the port. After a week of intense fighting Braavos falls. Brienne and Arya who is now 15 lead a hundred men up the street to the palace where Justin is waiting. In all they lost 300 men taking Braavos. Over the next several days Daenarys oversaw the freeing of and outlawing of slavery in all her territories of Essos. She held court for those masters who mistreated their slaves, and with Justin's help made preparations to attack Pentos.

"Greetings to the mother of Dragons from the Red god and the Faceless Men…" A man said in old Valryon addressing Daenarys. "I have been sent by the masters of the fAceless Men to swear that we shall accept no contract against you or your kin…We also affirm that we shall kill any enemy anywhere if you so wish it…"

"Give your masters my thanks if I have need of your services I shall call on you…"

Two days later they marched out of Braavos for Pentos. From Pentos Daenarys and Justin marched across the land to Myr and took the city after a nine day siege. When the 400 men she lost were replaced Daenarys continued her conquest by marching on Volantis. From Volantis. While in Volantis Daenarys had her baby whom she named Bryden Targaeryen. Justin took command of the forces while Dany remained in Volantis. Justin sails up the river towards Qohor. When Qohor is taken Norvos surrenders. A week later emissaries from Lorath arrive to sign a treaty of surrender. The island city of Tyrosh is burned by the three Dragons into submission. Then Justin returns to Volantis to be with Dany while his generals and Knights sail on towards Lys. Within three years the wars are over and Daenarys returns to King's Landing with Justin and together they make it the capital of their global empire.

Daenarys rules unchallenged for the next 120 years. When she dies she names her grandson Justin II of his name King. He and his Dragon Kaur rule many years. During his reign King Justin has his brothers executed along with his father. He is often referred to as Justin the mighty. Justin II's great grandson starts a war to force the North to bend the knee. Eddard V of House Stark declares war on his cousin and with an army of 100,000 strong crushes his cousin in one battle. He marches south and takes all his lands.

With the help of his cousin Arie the Wise and her Dragon Rau they put down the rebellion of Essos as well. Eddard marries Rau and then their daughter marries the eternal Knight Stannis Baratheon who had been promised long life by the Lord of Lights. After the death of Eddard V his eldest son takes the throne and demands that Stannis dissolve his marriage and give him his sister whom he had lusted after all his life. When Stannis refuses a war follows that lasts for the next fifty years. When it is over Stannis declares himself King of Westeros and Essos. He rules for a hundred years and dies at the age of 1,150 years old.
