I own nothing
Rae awoke with a gasp sitting up. She was shaken from her latest dream. Robb awoke when he felt the blankets move. She stood out on the balcony of their chambers with only her nightdress and robe over her shoulders. Her eyes were locked on the ships on Blackwater Bay.
"Sweetheart, what is?" Robb asked.
"The ships send them north to the Wall. Something tells me they need them more than us," Rae told him.
"You saw something," Robb stated.
"Yes, winter is coming and the walkers with it," Rae said.
"It will be done," Robb told holding her close to his chest.
His hands travel to where the little mound was on her belly. He worried about her more and more. She settled into his embrace. He kissed the top of her head as her hands joined his over where their child rested.
Rae with Robb by her side sat in the small council chambers. Ned stood by Robb's side while Tyrion was on Rae's side. The rest of the member filed into the room stood around the table. They were shocked to be called by Robb and Rae at daybreak.
"What is Your Graces, which you called us here on his morning," Grand Maester Pycelle asked.
"Every ship that can be spared here is going to sent North to the Wall," Robb told them.
"It will be done Your Grace," Ser Davos said.
"Thank you Ser Davos," Rae said.
"I will follow any order you give me, my queen," Ser Davos said.
"May I ask why the ships are heading to Wall," Grand Maester Pycelle asked.
"You have that right" Robb said looking at Pycelle
"They are going because I ordered them too. As for my reasons Grand Maester Winter is Coming with the dead with it. I saw them. I have already sent a raven to Wall with orders," Rae said.
"What orders," Robb asked shocked.
"Every person that is of the world of men is to be brought through the wall. For with the coming storm we need them to be on our side of the Wall. For if they aren't they will join the army of dead," Rae told them.
"Wildings south of the Wall have you lost your mind," Ned growled.
"We have been fighting them for ages," Robb agreed with his father.
"I'm sure Queen Raenera means no offense," Tyrion tried.
As the room went to chaos, Rae's mind went to her dream last night. They did not understand this was not a simple matter of Wilding or us. This was not them or us. It was the Night King vs. all of them. No one seemed to notice that Rae sank into her memories.
Rae was above a frozen settlement with a large waterway. There was death the hung in the air. There were dead bodies lining the docks. Suddenly Rae's caught sight of the Night King as he walked onto the dock. He looked up at her for a moment as if he could see her. Before he raised his arms and all the dead bodies came back to life and snapped their haunting blue eyes to Rae. Rae's eyes went back to the Night King. He put his hand out to Rae offering it for her take. He spoke again to her. It was sound of ice shifting and cracking. Rae shook her head no.
Rae eyes snapped opened she took a shaking breath. That dream and the words about three would rise and one would fall were all too much for the room was still arguing about what Rae wanted to do. Robb and Tyrion looked at Rae pale shaking form. Robb had concern along with anger in his eyes as he looked at her. Tyrion looked at her like he wanted to say something. Rae rose from her seat. All eyes went to her as she walked out of the room. Leaving them to argue over what needed to be done.
Ser Barristan looked at her as the door shut. Rae looked very shaken. Her hands went to mound on her belly. Greywind and Starlight looked up from their place by the Iron Throne. She needed to be free to forget what she saw. Greywind and Starlight moved over to her side allowing her to sink her fingers in dense soft fur. Ser Barristan nodded to other Kingsguard. He knew that Queen Raenera would not be staying here long. Rae started to walk away with Greywind and Starlight by her side Ser Barristan followed behind.
Daeny with Lady Renei came to Dragon Pit. Lady Renei walked behind Daeny watching Daeny's butt as she moved. Daeny found Ser Barristan standing guard at the entrance of Dragon Pit. Greywind and Starlight paced in front of the entrance as Ser Barristan stood guard. Greywind let out a low growl as he noticed Lady Renei Mooton. Starlight moved forward matching her mate's actions. Renei froze in her tracks. She had seen and heard stories of wolves but these were not normal wolves these were Direwolves.
"Where is she?"Daenerys asked.
"She's in with them," Ser Barristan nodded toward the sky where Viserion and Drogon flew. Daeny's eyes went toward the sky. Renei eyes looked between Ser Barristan and the queen sister. She was an attractive woman. There were stories that Queen Raenera was even more beautiful than her sister. Renei did not see how that was possible. She took a step forward but Greywind let out a growl and bearing his large teeth at her; freezing her in her tracks again. "She told me they would never hurt her. But I could not leave her Princess Daenerys I am not sure she is fit for visitors," Ser Barristan finished nodding towards Lady Renei.
Daeny placed her hand on Starlight back as she moved forward. She nodded and motioned for Lady Renei to enter the pit. Renei shook her head no she had heard the stories of King Robb's direwolf and what he was capable of doing. Daeny looked back noticed that Lady Renei Mooton had moved. She let out a sigh taking Renei hand leading her to pass the direwolves that watched Renei like she was their prey. Ser Barristan gave Daeny a look trying to tell her that Greywind and Starlight were trying to protect Rae in the state she was in.
Rae was in the center of Dragon pit. She was petting Rhaenys as Rhaegal stood guard by the pair. Selaera along with Visenya was near Rhaenys and Drogon flew overhead to keep a watchful eye on his aunt and mate. Viserion flew in the sky.
Lady Renei eyes went wide at the sight of dragons. She could not even see Queen Raenera for she was surrounded by dragon scaled flesh. Suddenly a thump was head causing Lady Renei took a step back when Drogon land between her and Queen Raenera. Drogon let out a roar as he landed. It caused Visenya and Selaera moved closer to Rae to protect her echoing Drogon roar. They could feel her distress. Daenerys did not look fazed in the least. This was some welcome to the capital for Lady Renei first the direwolves now the dragons. Daeny's eyes went wide could her sister really be in such a state that dragons and direwolves would protect her. There was the only way to find out. But she knew if Lady Renei got too close now Drogon would not hesitate to roast her alive. Daeny moves forward placing her hand on Drogon leg as he passed him. She turned back to Renei.
"Stay here," Daeny ordered to Renei.
Daeny moved further into the pit around the large bodies of the dragons. Until she came to Raenera. Raenera back was to her. She looked like she was shaking. This was not the same Rae that played the game with ease. Something bad had happened. She could see now why Greywind, Starlight, and dragons were so protective of her. She was truly in a state. Daeny touched Rae's shoulder. Rae turned and looked at Daeny the weight of the world looked to be on her shoulders. Tears were pouring down her face. Her hands were cradling her bump where her child rested.
"What happened," Daeny asked.
"He wants me, I saw him again… Daeny I saw what he can do. It scares me. Robb, Ned and rest of the small council are arguing with my plans. They don't understand. This winter is different. I don't know what makes it different but it is. The Night King is real. I bringing a child into the world where there are monsters that are going to kill everything that stands in their way. I have children in this world already. And they are arguing over bring wildings into the kingdom. I want every person from the world of man with our kingdom before winter starts. And days grow shorter each day," Rae explained.
"I'll get Robb, Lady Renei is here but your health is more important. And the health of your child," Daeny explained.
"No I'll see her," Rae said stealing her soul.
"No, you need your husband more than you need to meet with Lady Renei Mooton," Daeny argued.
Daeny turned to head back to where Lady Renei stood rooted in the same spot under the ever watchful eyes of Drogon. She placed her hand on Renei shoulder leading her away from the pit. Daeny exchanged looks with Ser Barristan nodding her head. Two of her unsullied soldiers walked by.
"Her Grace, Queen Raenera will see you later. You must be tired from your journey. Red Leech and Brown Tick will show you to your chamber where your ladies maid Giya is at," Daeny ordered. Red Leech and Brown Tick turned at the sound of their queen's voice. They bowed and did as their queen bid them to do. Lady Renei looked back at Daenerys worried face. Even in her worry, she was beautiful. Daenerys turned to Greywind once Lady Renei was out of sight. "Get your Master," Daeny told Greywind.
Greywind took off to get Robb knowing what Daenerys ask him to do. Daeny turned to Starlight motioned for her to go to her mistress. Daeny and Ser Barristan stood there waiting for Robb's arrival neither of them said a word.
Jon came into the Library where Maester Aemon with Sam. They were reading a raven message.
"Maester Aemon," Jon greeted.
"Lord Commander," Aemon greeted.
"Sam, I'd like to speak to Maester alone," Jon addressed Sam. Sam nodded his head leaving the room. Jon shut the door before coming over to sit by Aemon. "How are you feeling?" Jon asked.
"Like a 100 year- old man slowly freezing to death," Aemon replied.
"I need your advice. There's something I want to do, something I have to do but it'll divide the Night's Watch. Bitterly. Half of the men will hate me the moment I give the order," Jon told him.
"Half the men hate you already Lord Commander do it" Aemon advised him.
"But you don't know what it is," Jon said.
"That doesn't matter you do. You find little joy in your command. But with luck, you will find the strength to do what needs to be done. Kill the boy Jon Stark. Winter is almost upon us. Kill the boy and let the man be born," Aemon told him.
Ned and Robb walked out the Small Council chamber, four hours after Raenera walked out of the room. They walked into the throne room. They looked up at the Iron Throne. Robb walked up to it placing his hand on it.
"Why do you think she done it?" Robb asked.
"I don't know. And it doesn't matter the deed is done. She is your wife, Robb, the Queen. I know you say you and she rule together. Why would she not tell you she was sending orders for every person of world men to move south of the Wall," Ned asked.
"Honestly, I don't know," Robb answered truthfully.
Robb sank down into the Iron Throne. Ned came over to stand beside his son. They exchanged looks neither saying a word. Ned was thinking about what he knew of his good-daughter. She would not do something like this unless it was necessary.
"Do you think she has seen something," Ned asked.
"I know she sees the walkers but I feel like it more than that. I feel her pregnancy and the ever approaching winter is to blame," Robb said.
"Winter is Coming," Ned replied.
"Yes, Winter is Coming," Robb replied back.
At that moment, Greywind charged into the throne room. People moved quickly out the direwolves way. He ran up to Robb taking his small coat in his mouth pulling on him. Ned and Robb exchanged a look. Neither of them ever saw Greywind act like this. Suddenly it dawned on Robb something had happened. Robb stood up Greywind pulled him again. This time Robb nearly stumbled.
"Okay boy, I'm coming," Robb said after he regained his footing.
Robb came to the dragon pit with Greywind leading the way. Ned was right behind him. They were greeted by Daeny and Ser Barristan both have grave looks on their face.
"What happened?" Robb demanded.
"Rae needs you," Daeny answered. She came forward placing her hand on her brother-in-law's shoulder. They exchanged looks. "Put aside what you feel about her plans with Wildings. Right now that does not matter, what matters is your wife health and health of the child in her womb," Daeny told him.
Robb nodded to Daeny before he ran into the pit to find Rae. Drogon roared as he entered the pit. He was not fazed by Drogon roar. He side step moving passed him. He found Rae sitting on the ground of the pit. She was shaking tears were still coursing down her face. Her hand rested on her belly. Starlight head was resting on Rae lap. Her other hand was in the fur of Starlight taking comfort in her direwolf. Greywind walked to her other side resting his head on her lap as well. Rae let out a small smile moving her hand from belly to Greywind's head. Robb ran over to her dropping to his knees in front of her.
"Rae sweetheart, what happened," Robb questioned.
"He wants me," Rae confessed.
"Who wants you," Robb asked.
"The Night King, the leader of the White Walkers. I cannot face this alone Robb. I need you by my side," Rae cried throwing her arms around his neck.
"I'm on your side. No one will take you from me," Robb vowed.
