I own nothing
Thank you all for your support. I am sorry for the lack of updates. I have been not feeling that well. And I have been trying to work out how this is all going to end. In light of the last season, there are some things I needed to see and figure out.
Rhaegal and Rhaenys flew were flying back from Dragonstone they pass over Driftmark. Valaena Velaryon the eldest child of Lord Monford Velaryon, who died in Blackwater rush, leaving her young half brother Monterys Velaryon as lord of Driftmark, stood on the battlements of Driftmark. Her silvery blonde hair blew across her face as she watched the dragons fly overhead. They had Valyrian given them what many consider Targaryen features. Her eyes were amber colored instead of purple. They had come from her mother, Aurola, who died giving birth to her. And her father first love. Her mother had named her; the first Valaena Velaryon was the mother of Aegon, Rhaenys and Visenya Targaryen. Her mother thought it was fitting to name her Valaena. She supported Rhaegar until her dying breath. She hoped that maybe her daughter would one day marry Aegon Rhaegar's son. Her stepmother Lady Monira Velaryon did not really care for her as a mother should. She was more focus on Monterys who got the mantle of Lord put on at the age of six. She noticed Rhaenys landing on Driftmark on very precarious part of the island. She never had been very close to a dragon. She decided to take this chance even if it cost her life. By the time she came to spot she saw Rhaenys land. Rhaenys had taken off leaving behind a clutch of eggs. There were at least ten eggs there. Valaena climbed closer to them and watched in horror as they started to fall in the sea below. She moved fast catching the last egg amethyst color egg with blue accents. The heat the radiated from the egg was undeniable. Her amber eyes look toward King's Landing. She knew what she had to do with her young brother permission and blessing or not.
Jon stood by the fire in his room in Castle Black. He was in deep thought when a knock sounded at the door. He walked to the door opening it. Sam stood there with a raven's letter in his hands.
"Sam?" Jon questioned.
"A letter from East Watch" Sam said handing him the letter.
Jon quickly took the letter. He broke the seal. And read it quickly as he unrolled the letter to read more of it a second letter fell out dropping to the floor. He bent to pick it up he stared at the seal for a moment. It was the Targaryen sigil with chains breaking behind it. The first letter mentions ships were spotted off of east watch. They were flying Targaryen banners along with Stark banners.
"Stark and Targaryen ships are by East Watch," Jon told Sam.
Sam nodded waiting for Jon to read the other letter. Jon looked at Sam for a moment before he cracked the seal. It was really a simple letter.
Jon, Lord Commander of the Night's Watch, the gods have shown me you need ships more than I do. Use them how you see fit. But I would like every person from the world of a man south of the wall before winter is truly comes. There is so much more we need to talk about but I cannot put those words in a raven's letter. Robb has told me so much about you and I look forward to meeting you. By the time you are reading this, we have likely begun our journey north, to Winterfell and then to The Wall.
Queen Raenera Stark first of her name, Queen in The North, Queen of the Andals, the Rhoynar and the First Men, Lady Regnant of the Seven Kingdoms; Protector of the realm.
"The ships are for our use, Sam" Jon told him.
"From who?" Sam questioned.
"Queen Raenera my brother's wife," Jon told him.
"She must be a remarkable woman," Sam commented.
Raenera was dressed in a teal blue gown. Her dark hair was held back in a simple style. She stood in the garden looking skyward as the dragon flew overhead. Her hand rested on the swell of her stomach. She prayed to any that would hear her she was making the right decision. Starlight came up to her tilted her head at her mistress. Rae looked down rubbing Starlight head.
"Your Grace," Loras said.
"Ser Loras," Rae greeted.
"Lady Renei Mooton," Loras introduced.
"Lady Renei, please forgive my not greeting you sooner. My mind has been elsewhere. Come walk with me," Rae said.
Rae and Lady Renei walked off with Starlight serving as Rae's guard along with Ser Barristan. They came to an out cove of the gardens. The sea lapped the shore could be heard as they stood near looking out at the sea.
"Lady Renei how do find Lord Loras?" Rae asked looking out on the sea.
"He will make me a fine husband," Renei answered admiring Rae's beauty.
"That he will, he will be Lord of The Twins. And you Lady of the Twins tell Lady Renei have you heard the rumors concerning Loras?" Rae asked.
"Rumors are not always fact," Renei stated.
"What if I would tell you that in this case, they are?" Rae asked looking over to Renei.
Renei pursed her lips, looking down. Thinking of what her life would be like with a husband that was more attracted to men than women. She hoped that he would be accepting of her being more attracted to women than men. Giya was beautiful in her own way but she was nothing like Princess Daenerys or Queen Raenera. Rae amethyst eyes regarded Renei as she thought.
"I could not fault him, your grace. By doing so I would admit fault myself," Renei said locking eyes with Rae's eyes.
A smile fell across Rae's face. She was not expecting that Lady Renei was interested in a woman instead of men. She wondered in Loras knew this fact. But he wanted to marry her who was she to stand in his way. Lady Renei eyed Rae up and down. There was something wondrous and beautiful about a woman body when she was a child. Lady Renei was not hiding that she was attracted to Rae anymore.
"Then Lady Renei why marry Loras?" Rae asked.
"My brother wants me to married Bracks Rogers a good friend of his. I cannot stand the man. My brother would happily sit idly by watch the world descend in chaos before he would do anything. Loras may not be like Giya or your sister or even you, Your Grace, but he is not a thing like my brother. I know my duty to my husband. And I will bare Loras as many children that want. I can see myself growing to care for him in time. And hope he can grow to care for me. And that he will accept me for me," Lady Renei revealed.
Queen Raenera and Lady Renei slowly made their way around the gardens in King's Landing. Neither of them noticed Obara and Tyene standing talking with each other. They eyed Raenera with fire in their eyes. They looked over as their father made his way into the garden on his arm was Daeny. As much as they did not care for either of the Targaryens they could see having more control over Daeny than Raenera.
"Father," Tyene said.
"Obara, Tyene I am shocked to not find you in the tiltyard," Oberyn said.
"Nymeria was there with the Northerner," Obara spat out.
"Forgive me Daeny," Oberyn started. Daeny nodded her head looking over to where Rae as walking with Lady Renei. Oberyn and Obara stared at each other for a long moment. "That Northerner as you kindly put it will be your good brother daughter," Oberyn reminded Obara.
They all watched as Lord Jaime and Tyrion made their way into the gardens with a young woman. The woman had silvery blonde hair same as Daeny and looked a good bit like Daeny or even Raenera. Her eyes were like amber found in the deserts of Dorne. She carried something bag made of seafoam green velvet. They approached Rae.
"Your Grace forgive, the interruption but Lady Valaena Velaryon has something for you and would not give to anyone but you," Tyrion said looked over to Valaena.
"Lady Valaena," Rae greeted.
"Call me Val, Your Grace, this is for you. Rhaenys your dragon laid a clutch of eggs on Driftwood this was the only one that did not fall into sea lost forever," Valaena stated.
Rae took the bag from Valaena. She eyed the young woman who looked to be the same age as her. Tyene moved closer to Daeny on one side as Obara did the same on the other side. Oberyn still stood near Obara. Rae took the egg from the bag. The amethyst egg glimmered in the sunlight. Lady Renei looked at egg in awe. She reached her hand out to touch. But she quickly pulled it away feeling nothing but cold stone.
"It is amazing how much the people love your sister," Tyene muttered.
"Queen Raenera is a kind and gracious queen Tyene is worthy of their love," Oberyn countered.
Obara and Tyene exchanged look over Daeny. Daeny eyes were locked on the newcomer along with the new dragon egg. This was the sixth egg given to Rae. What made her so special to receive six dragon eggs? Not to mention the one that Torrhen found at Dragonstone.
"Should not the dragon egg be both of yours, isn't Rhaenys mated to Rhaegal," Obara asked Daeny in a hushed tone.
Val reached out touching the egg she had a ghost of a smile on her face as she touched. Oberyn moved forward to take a better look at the egg.
"Welcome to King's Landing Lady Val Velaryon and thank you," Rae said.
"It is my honor, your grace. I sorry I could not save more of them. Dragons have always fascinated me to have them returned to this world makes happier than words can express," Val said with a bow.
Rae admired the egg before she put it back in the bag. She handed it to Tyrion. Tyrion took it from her with a bow. He knew that she wanted to be brought to her chambers to place with other eggs. This egg completed the third set of fire dragon eggs. Rae closed her eyes for a brief moment as the words "three will raise one will fall" echoed in her mind. She shook her head exchanging a knowing look with Lady Val.
"Lady Velaryon would you consider becoming one of my ladies," Rae asked.
"There would be no greater honor than to serve you your grace in any way I can," Val said.
Daeny eyes locked on Rae as she welcomed Val into the fold. Val smiled as was introduced to Lord Jaime, Prince Oberyn and Lady Renei. So many thoughts filled Daeny mind she did not know what to think anymore. It unnerved her that this Valaena looked so much like she could be a sister. There was something about Valaena that was different than Deana. Something that Daeny just did not like. Her eyes then traveled to the curve of Rae' belly the jealousy rose within Daeny again. Obara and Tyene noticed this. Tyene nodded to her sister.
"Why is that Queen Raenera is able to have children and you are not," Obara started.
"Surely you had other lovers since your late husband died," Tyene asked.
Images of her past lover flashed in her mind. The face of Daario was at the forefront of her mind. He loved her and wanted her. And she left him in Meereen. Prince Oberyn was a new lover but even he was devoted to her like her other lovers were. They were in awe of her. But here the awe seemed to focus on Rae.
"You both the mother of dragons yet she is also mother to her own flesh and blood children and you are not," Obara finished.
Obara and Tyene moved away from Daeny heading back to the training yard. That very question filled Daeny's mind many times before now. Her eyes locked on Rae's belly. Rae turned to look at her sister. She started to smile at her sister but then it turned into a frown as she noticed the look on her sister's face.
Jon came into the room where Tormund was being held in chains. He sat across from him nodding to the other men to leave the room leaving just Jon and Tormund in the room. Tormund glared at Jon.
"Where are the rest of free folk now?" Jon asked. Tormund did not answer. He just looked at Jon. Jon looked at Tormund with a look that said he was not backing down. "Where have they gone? Who leads them?" Jon asked.
"They followed Mance. They won't follow anyone else," Tormund said.
"What about you?" Jon asked.
"Hard to lead when you're in chains," Tormund said holding up his chained together hands.
"What if I unchained ya?" Jon asked.
"Why would you do that?" Tormund asked.
"Because you are not my enemy; and I'm not yours," Jon stated.
"You sure seemed like my enemy when you were killing my friends," Tormund commented.
Jon sat back for a moment composing his thoughts. He locked eyes with Tormund as he moved to sit up straight.
"For eight thousand years the Night's Watch have sworn an oath to be the shield the guards the realms of men. And for eight thousand years we've fallen short of that oath. You belong to the realm of men. All of you," Jon stated.
"And now everything is going change," Tormund laughed.
"It is" Jon stated.
"Why now?" Tormund asked.
"Because now I am Lord Commander of the Night's Watch and I have the backing of Queen of Seven Kingdoms," Jon said
"What would you have me do Lord Commander?" Tormund asked.
"I'd have you go North of the Wall gather the remaining the free folk wherever they are and bring back here. I'll open the gates for them and let them through. I'll find them lands to settle south of the Wall," Jon vowed.
"They won't kneel for you, or that queen and neither will I," Tormund stated.
"I don't want them to kneel for me. I very much doubt Queen Raenera wants them to kneel for her. She all but orders me to bring all the free folk south of the Wall. I want them to fight with me when the time comes," Jon said.
"The day I ask my people to fight with the crows is the day my people cut my gut from my belly and make me eat them," Tormund stated.
" And how many of your people can't fight. The women, the children, the old, the sick what happens to them? You're condemning them to death; worse than death. Because you're too proud to make peace or maybe you're not proud maybe you just a coward," Jon growled.
"Easy thing to say to a man in chains," Tormund commented.
Jon rose from his chair coming over to Tormund. He took the chains that held Tormund hands together. He locked eyes with Tormund unlocking the chains. Tormund rose from his chair there was a long moment where Jon and Tormund just looked at each other.
"Your people need a leader. And they need to get south of the Wall before it's too late. We don't have much time and they have less. The Walkers are coming and they'll hit your people first. I'm not asking to make peace to save your skin. Make peace to save your people," Jon commanded.
"Most of them are at Hardhome you know where that is?" Tormund told Jon.
"Upon Storrold's point, I can give you ten horses and nine other men. You can get there in a week," Jon said.
"We'll need ships" Tormund stated.
"Queen Raenera has given the Wall ships to use as I see fit," Jon said.
"You're coming with me. You're the Lord Commander of the Night's Watch. They need to hear it from you. They need to know that the ships they are boarding won't be torched in the middle of the sea. You coming with me or I don't go," Tormund argued.
Robb came into their chambers that night. He noticed all three of his children were sitting with their mother on the floor with a new egg before them. His eyes met Rae's eyes over the top of his children head. He came over picking Torrhen and Lilliyan up over his head. Lyanna sat on her mother lap. He leaned over kissing Rae softly.
"So where did this one come from?" Robb asked.
"Lady Valaena Velaryon from Driftmark, my new lady in waiting. The egg was laid by Rhaenys and likely Rhaegal child also," Rae explained.
Robb nodded think about the talk he heard around the keep about what looked like another possible sister for Daeny and in turn Rae. He sat down near Rae. Her eyes were still locked on three fire dragon eggs that rested by the flames. The ice dragon egg was in chest away from the fireplace. Torrhen and Lilliyan nuzzled into their father chest. They started to drift off to sleep. He looked over at Lyanna who also nodding off in her mother's arms. He looked toward the door where Eyme was standing. He nodded she came in taking Lyanna out of Rae's arms. Robb got up trying not to wake the babies in his arms as he carried them to their nursery.
Robb came back to the room he noticed that Rae had not moved from the spot. He shut the bedroom chambers. Greywind and Starlight were lying near her. They looked over at him as he came to stand by her side. She looked up at him with fear in her eyes again. Robb dropped to his knees pulling her close to his chest. He kissed the top of her head.
"This is the third set, Robb. If I'm right…" Rae started tear pouring down her face.
Robb pulled her face away from his chest. His blue eyes locked with her amethyst pools. He pulled her into a deep kiss. His one hand went to the back of her dress working to remove it. His other hand was on the back of her head tangled in her dark curls. He pulled away from the kiss for a moment. He helped her to her feet. They locked eyes he leaned in kiss her again softly.
"Don't think about it right now sweetheart," Robb said.
Daenessa sat in Tyrion's chamber brushing her silver-blonde hair. She was dressed in her nightdress. She in the short time she had known Tyrion had grown to care deeply for him. Her hand went to the dragon necklace around her neck. At one point she did plan to try to overthrow Queen Raenera and even Princess Daenerys, taking her place on the Iron Throne. The necklace once belonged to Daena Blackfyre.
