Daenerys's POV

She had left Pentos 3 weeks ago with the Storm Crows aboard 4 ships that were provided by Magister Illyrio. Show now stood at the bow of the ship, next to her was her betrothed Quentyn and above her were her 3 dragons perched on the mast, they were growing larger by the day, they were now about the size of a large dog ,Drogon even larger but still too small to ride at least for now.

Due to her dragons flying with the ship they had to be careful where they sailed and when, much to her distress they had had to been put in cages when they left Pentos and had been kept in them except at night until they had passed through the Stepstones, as the Narrow seas was a well-travelled crossing, with many ships going to or from Westeros.

Then while in the Stepstones pirates had attacked. 4 ships flying the flag of Sallador Saan the Prince of the Narrow seas as he was known, Quentyn had told her as he had rushed her below deck along with the her dragons so they wouldn't be seen if boarded. She had seen through a window below deck, 2 ships approaching on the port side and 2 of hers sailing to intercept before they reach the ship that she was on.

They had lost a few men that day, luckily no ships, Daario had been injured badly, with a large gash at his back and his left leg, as had fought of 7 pirates at once from getting down below to her. IT was Prince Quentyn who had come to his aid as he was surrounded and outnumbered. Strong Belwas had been seen tossing pirates back into sea. Luckily none of her ships had been destroyed and they had got out of the Stepstones with no further incidents but they had lost 38 Stormcrows that day.

Now that they were out in the Summer Sea far from the land, her dragons were now free to fly about and catch fish to their heart contents although some of the men were still quite scared of them and did their best to stay far away from their snapping jaws and fire range.

"You looking forward to being back in Westeros, your home?" asked Quentyn putting his hand gently on her shoulder and brushing her hair behind her hair.

She turned to face him, "It's not home, It might be where I am from and where I am destined to rule but the place I remember as home the fading memory of the house in Braavos with the Red door and the Lemon tree outside my window. I long for that simpler life where I had a childhood which so cruelly taken away from me. That is the only home I've known," she replied sincerely looking out to sea where she could just see the coastline.

"We will make a home there," Quentyn replied but then looked at her quizzically "Did you say lemon tree in Braavos, none can grow in Braavos, the climate is not right."

"What, Maybe I'm mistaken but I swear there was a lemon tree, anyway when will we arrive in Dorne and where, I am assuming Sunspear, to see you father."

"Unfortunately no, Sunspear is too populated and too many other travellers who could see you or your dragons, we will be travelling up a river to Hellholt where my sister will meet us. One of our ships dropped Ser Gerris of at Sunspear, so my father knows what is happening. He would meet us here but he has a rather bad case of Gout and has trouble walking. From Hellholt we will Journey near the mountains to Starfall, since Arthur and Ashara Dayne died, it has stood empty, the heir is in the capital, you will be safe there and your dragons will be free to fly!" He explained pointing way into the distance.

She looked at him and could see that he was only being courteous, a sense of duty no affection stood between them yet, he was a sweet boy but a boy not a man.


As she disembarked the ship and took her first step onto solid ground she noticed a beautiful woman walking up to her, she had olive skin, large dark eyes and long thick black hair, she wore flowing silks and many lavish jewels obviously displaying wealth.

"Welcome Queen Daenerys, it is a pleasure to meet my future sister in law and the reason I am not going to be Queen, obviously you didn't want to be a horse slut your whole life." Arianne Martell sneered at her hatefully.

"Actually, I knew nothing about this pact until your brother arrived in Pentos a couple of months ago, neither did my brother that I am aware of," she scoffed back taking an instant dislike to Arianne.

"Sister calm yourself, I see father has told you of his previous plans, you will be Princess of Dorne still," Quentyn expressed coming down off the ship behind her, "Ah Nymeria it's good to see you as well it's been many years," he addressed a girl standing behind Arianne, "Daenerys, this is my cousin Nymeria Sand, don't get on the wrong side of her she has beaten me many times in a duel," he finished chuckling.

After more introductions and a brief description of their journey, they quickly left Hellholt before causing too large a disturbance. In their company was also a knight called Darkstar, from a lesser branch of House Dayne, Quentyn told her that he was cruel as he was handsome but excellent with a sword.

After 17 years she had returned to her birth right, now began the long journey to reclaim her throne.

Author's Note

Here is another chapter to apologise for taking so long to post last time. I think there will be 2 more chapters of this story left then I will take a few weeks break before starting a sequel. Also I am thinking of writing another Au story in the A song of ice and fire universe, where instead of Robert claiming the throne, he died and by the time Eddard got to the capital Tywin had claimed it fro himself, would people read that. Let me know
