I own nothing
Thank you for all your support.
Lord Varys was in stood in the shadows in Flea Bottom. He stood next to man completely in the shadows with a cane. Lord Varys paused in his speech when the passing guard cleared out Flea Bottom.
"It will be in a fortnight," Varys said.
"Good I am tired of hiding in the shadows," The man said.
"Trust me My Lord; you will like the world you will enter again. The Targaryen dynasty will be restored to its former glory," Lord Varys said.
"Yes, you told me this before," The man said.
"Daenerys has returned to Westeros and is at her sister side," Lord Varys told him.
"What of my sons, and daughters," The man asked.
"They are safe. I say this with the greatest certainty that they are safer than any Lord or Lady in of all of Westeros. Believe me, Lord…" Lord Varys started.
Suddenly the ground shook with a great force. Knock both of them into each other. Lord Varys help the man back to his feet. They both looked at each other for a moment. Then suddenly green flames dance down the street coming from the direction of Great Sept of Baelor.
"What in the Seven Hells was that," the man demanded.
"Wildfire," Lord Varys said gravely. Lord Vary looked down the street there was the bell from the tower of Great Sept of Baelor. The man eyebrows rose in shock. He had heard of wildfire but never saw it himself. "King Aerys the II in his madness had caches of wildfire all over the city. If Ser Jaime did not slue the mad king he would have burnt King Landing to the ground," Lord Varys revealed.
"I thought Robert had them all hunted down and destroyed," The man said.
"It appears he missed some," Lord Varys joked.
"It is not funny Lord Varys," the man said.
Varys looked back at the man. There was a grave look on his face. He put a solemn look on his face. The man in the shadows was always very serious in Lord Varys's company. Lord Varys started to walk back toward the Red Keep.
"It would be wise my Lord to head back to Luciya's place and stay hidden until the time is right. If Cersei finds out…" Lord Varys said.
"I know," The man cuts him off.
Robb ran out onto the balcony of Dragonstone where Rae and Daeny stood. He looked deeply worried that Lord Tyrion was called to a sister meeting. Rae was pale as the moonlight that shown on her face. He pulled her tightly to his chest. His eyes never left her. He was checking her for any signs of injury. He locked his lips with her kissing her with all relief that she was unhurt. Daenerys felt a little out of place watching them embrace. It was clear that Robb truly loves her. It reminded her that of her and Khal Drogo. Rae and Robb pulled apart for a moment he rested his forehead against her forehead. They locked eyes with each other the love flowing between.
"Are you alright sweetheart," Robb asked.
"I am fine. Robb look," Rae said pointing toward King's Landing.
Robb looked toward where she was pointing. The bright green light that was emanating from Kings Landing was shocking. He stood a gap at the sight. Tyrion came out to balcony followed by Clarysse. They both looked like their clothes were a little askew, like they were caught in a loving embrace. They were followed by Ser Markas.
"You wanted to see…" Tyrion started. He caught sight of the Wildfire. He went gravely quiet as they all stared at smoke rising from King's Landing. He looked over to Daenerys, then to Rae and Robb. They had never seen anything like it. He could still remember the look of Wildfire consuming the ships in Black Water Bay when they fought off Stannis. "Wild Fire," Tyrion said.
Everybody looked at each other in shock. Tyrion, Robb and Rae eyes met. They all knew Joffery and Cersei in complete control could be maddening. But they never dream that they would destroy King Landing. Jaime came running out once he heard the call for Tyrion. He looked gravely worried.
"What is it?" Jaime asked.
"It appears our sister's madness and your son cruelty has reached new heights. She is burning King's Landing to the ground," Tyrion said.
Jaime just walked over to edge of the balcony looking in distance in horror. He had murdered his king breaking his vows to stop the Mad King from burning King's Landing to the ground now his own sister had done it. A determined look came across his face. He turned taking Rae's hand. He dropped to his knees.
"I promise you now I will end Cersei madness. Even if it kills me," Jaime vowed.
A look shock played across Daeny's face. Could she really be wrong about Lord Jaime Lannister? The silence lasted for a long moment. Tyrion was shocked that his brother just vowed to kill their sister. He always played the middle ground between Tyrion and Cersei. Robb was trying to think of his next move with the wildfire as a possibility. Rae looked at Jaime in shock not knowing what to say.
Cersei made her way through the castle on her way toward Joffery chambers. She had a glad smile across her face after watching the Great Sept burn to the ground. It was like killing two birds with one stone. Removing a tie the Targaryen past that was held in great Sept of Baelor and killing off her enemies in one swoop. As they got closer the sounds of young woman screams were heard. Two kingsgaurds stood stone face at the door. They took one look at the Queen Regent bowing their heads before knocking on the door.
A few moments later, Joffery opened the door dressed only in a robe. He had a smug arrogant grin on his face. He took one look at his mother before allowing for her to enter his chamber. Cersei entered the room she made her way over to the table sitting down. Her eyes traveled around the room. They landed on young green doe eyes brunette. She was pretty by no means beautiful. She looked like she had been crying for a while. She had rip chemise as her only covering. The girl tried to pull the chemise close more.
"What is it mother as you can see I am busy?" Joffery started. He looked over to a young girl in his bed. He noticed that she was trying to cover herself. Her eyes looked at him with pure fear in her eyes. "Did I tell you could dress," Joffery roared at the girl.
"No your grace," the girl answered.
She allowed the chemise to fall off her shoulders. It revealed her breast to the prying eyes. Cersei looked at the girl with pity in her eyes for a brief moment. He precious boy was a true king more so than Robert ever was.
"That what I thought, remember who hold the keys from stopping your traitor father from losing his head," Joffery threatened.
"You do your grace," The girl answered again meekly.
"Good remember that," Joffery finished address the girl.
He turned back to his mother. She was casually sipping on a goblet of wine. He came over taking the seat opposite of her taking the other goblet of wine taking a drink.
"The Great Sept of Baelor has burned down, killing all of your sparrows," Cersei told him.
"Where will I marry little Kathryn," Joffery asked indicating the girl on the bed.
"Is she worthy of the title of your Queen?"Cersei questioned.
"Her father is Lord in Crownlands a Drake," Joffery said.
Cersei took a drink of her wine. Joffrey gave her the same look back. He was in control here. He was the king if he wanted a whore as his queen who was his mother to question him. It made him more ready to marry Kathryn that his mother did not like her.
"I only want what best for you, my lion. If you truly wish to marry Kathryn here then we will build a better a Sept one without the taint of the Targaryen family. One that will be a focal point of your victory over the Dragon Queen and her sister Dragon Princess and her husband The Young Wolf," Cersei soothed.
"I will destroy them. When I win I want Sansa," Joffery said.
"Anything you wish," Cersei said.
"How was it burnt?" Joffery asked.
"Wildfire, it seems they were loyal to the Targaryens. They were an experiment with Wildfire to destroy us once they attack. It appears that one or more were not careful and one exploded which cause a massive explosion. It is a fitting death for fire loving Targaryen loyalist to burn by their own fire," Cersei explained in a massive lie.
Daeny, Tyrion, Jorah, Robb, and Rae sat around the map table in the Map room. They were debating on the next course of action. Their differences in that moment were put aside. Robb held Rae hand in a protective way. He knew what she saw disturbed her in ways he could not fathom. It would like Winterfell exploding. They had no clue how much of it was destroyed and could not until they took King Landing. Rae's was silent as they discussed possible things to do. This was her home being destroyed. Tyrion looked over to the pale face Rae. Then he looked around the room. He knew they were getting nowhere. Daeny looked at Robb and Rae in a new light. The way he came out onto the balcony coming straight to her. Left any question if Robb was using Rae to get the crown to be out of the question. She could see the love between the two them. It reminded her of Khal Drogo and her. They were sun and moons of each other's lives.
"Do you have a contact in King's Landing?" Tyrion asked Rae.
"Yes," Rae answered.
"Write them, for now, let all of us get some rest," Tyrion said.
Robb helped Rae to her feet. He wrapped his arm protectively around her leading her out of the room. Jorah looked at the pair. He knew he should tell Daeny what happen on the beach but he could not bring himself to destroy the sisterly bond that had formed between the two women in short time. Jorah rose offering her his arms leading out the room.
The next morning Rae was sitting in her chambers her maids and ladies had just left. The last thing she needed to do was place the crown on her head. The door was open. Starlight was at her feet. She was debating wearing the burnt dragon crown or not. The crown did not give her any sense of power or strike fear in people hearts. Today was to be an easy day. She was to meet Daeny and officially introduce her to Selaera, Rhaenys, and Visenya. And Daeny, in turn, would introduce her to Drogon, Rhaegal, and Viserion. Then after lunch, they would join Robb's war council in the map room to discuss final battle plans. So in Rae's mind, there a no need for her to wear a crown even through her maids had laid one out for her. Ser Markas was guarding her but had left to deliver the letter she had written to Lord Varys for her. Rae turned and looked at Starlight.
"What do you think Starlight, crown or no crown?"Rae asked.
Rae placed the crown on her head when she said crown and removed it when she said no crown. Starlight just tilted her head at the question. Rae shook her head and laughed. She reached down scratching her behind her ears.
"You are no help," Rae teased.
"Your Grace," Ser Barristan said.
Rae turned looked over her shoulder. She smiled at the sight of Ser Barristan dress more like the Knight she came to care for. The dragon that was on his chest plate look liked it always belong there. She motioned for him to enter. He came knelt down near her. Starlight came over bumping his arm. Ser Barristan looked at her before petting the wolf behind her ears.
"I remember you, you were smaller and were a lot less trusting of me when I last saw you," Ser Barristan addressed Starlight.
"Life changed us," Rae said.
"For the better, it seems," Ser Barristan said.
"I am not sure I am meant to be queen," Rae confessed looking at the crown on the table.
Ser Barristan got a close look at brunt dragon crown. He had seen it before. A long time ago before Robert rebellion was even a glint in anyone eyes. Rhaegar was still a child. He had accompanied him down to the treasury with Rhaegar's Maester who was teaching him. They were learning Targaryen history. He remembered seeing that very crown that day.
Rhaegar was about nine years old. His maester lead him to the treasury. Rhaegar young eyes traveled to one item to another item in the room. Each had special value and place in history. A lot of royal crowns worn by the first Targaryen Kings and Queens were here. His maester was droning on about Aegon conquest. Rhaegar eyes landing on a beautiful crown. His hands went to reach for the crown.
"That crown my prince belonged to one of greatest Targaryen queens Westeros have ever seen…" The Maester started.
"Ser Barristan" Rae called.
It was enough to wake him from his memories. He shook his head standing up. Rae stood as well. He looked at the crown then back at Rae.
"May I?" Ser Barristan asked.
Rae nodded her head. Ser Barristan picked up the crown looking at it more closely. Before, he turned looking at Rae. He placed the crown on her head. Rae turned and looked at her face in the mirror. Ser Barristan looked at her behind her.
"That Crown is not some new crown made for you," Ser Barristan said.
"What are you talking about," Rae asked looking at him.
"It belonged to Queen Alysanne," Ser Barristan told her.
"I thought that Robert had it all of that destroyed," Rae muttered.
Rae came into the map room. Robb was alone pushing pieces around the board. He did not look up until Rae stood right by where King's Landing was located. He eyed the crown that rested on her head.
"I thought you hated that thing," Robb teased her.
She walked the rest of the way over to him. She hugged his middle. He shook his head turning her so he could wrap his arms around her middle. She smiled up at him. He leaned down kissing her softly.
"Just because you don't like crowns does mean I don't like them," Rae teased back.
He shook his head again lean down and kissing her. She hands tangled into his curls deepening the kiss. His hand traveled down her back feeling the laces of the gown. He longed for nothing more than to be able to remove her gown and make love to her right here on this table. But he knew they would be interrupted before they got very far. He pulled way taking her hand kissing it.
"How was introducing go with the dragons," Robb asked.
"Well, she was shocked at bond I have with each of them. Drogon is taken with Selaera. I swear they going to mate. He does not her out of his sight for long. Rhaenys and Rhaegal are not far behind them but they are on the flirt side much like Sansa and Smalljon. Visenya and Viserion are playing hard to get with each other but I tell they like one another," Rae said.
"Just what we need more dragons," Robb teased.
Rae playfully hit his chest. Robb laughed at her shock face. He caught her hands when she went to hit him again. He kissed her again silencing her response with his mouth. A cough broke them apart. They both turned looking at the doorway. Catelyn stood there with raven letters in her hands.
"One from King Landing I have the feeling you will be needing this," Catelyn said.
"Thank you mother," Robb said.
Robb took the letters. He handed the one from King's Landing to Rae. She took it breaking the seal. She scanned the letter. How in the Seven Hells did that happen? How Cersei and Joffery could let that happen unless they were behind the destruction of the Sept of Baelor. She had grim look on her face as she laid the letter down.
"The Great Sept of Baelor was destroyed by wildfire with all the sparrow and High Sparrow in inside," Rae told him.
Rae looked over at Robb. He looked pale face as he read the letter from Old Town. He never dreamed in all his life that Rae dreams were the truth. But one thing had proved to be true. Lyanna and Rhaegar were married and loved each other. That mean the rest of her vision could prove to be true. Could Jon really be a Targaryen Prince?
"Robb, what is it?" Rae questioned.
"Lyanna married Rhaegar," Robb told her.
"That a good thing, its means that she willingly went with him. That he did not rape her that he loved her," Rae reassured.
"That also means the possibility of them having a child could also be true," Robb said.
"a boy the reason I keep getting a vision of the Wall," Rae said.
"It could be Jon," Robb told her.
"Jon, would your father lie to your mother about something like Jon really being Lyanna," Rae questioned.
"I don't know, but it makes more sense then him betraying his marriage vows," Robb defended.
"Robb, sweetheart, I know he was your father. But he was also a man and man are capable of making mistakes," Rae tried.
Robb looked at her in shock. She was originally suggested. Now she was trying to tell him that was not him. Jon seemed to fit better than anyone else. If Jon was a Targaryen Prince he would damn if let him spend the rest of his life at the Wall. Rae looked at Robb with pleading eyes. She just did not want him to get his hope up. She knew if it was in Robb's power to give Jon what he always longed for Robb would do it. But Rae knew they may never know for sure who the baby the man in her vision was.
