A/N: Oh Crackers! How long has it been since I wrote in this story! I do apologize to everyone who has been with me for so long. I had been busy with trying to play catch up now that I changed my shift to the mornings. I no longer work the graveyard shift thank God! My health both mentally and physically was suffering because of the immense pressure it was to do my job and I was failing these past few months due to my declining health. So I decided to go to the day shift and help them out since there is only two people working receiving during the day. So they are really glad to have me there to help them. So now that I have longer weekends as far as nights go with three nights of rest because I now have Monday to Fridays morning shift. I have more time to rest and to get my stories in order.
So with that done I can finally get on with this story and keep it on track for what I wanted to do. As you all know this is the last of Dany and Jon's story before we move on to Tyrion surprisingly. I wanted to do his side of the story for a while and while the story still remains around the Starks I will go off once in a while to other characters like Tyrion. Since he plays a vital role in the story.
Now then on with the story and remember please when you leave a review no BASHINGS, LORE MONGERS OR FLAMES PLEASE. Thank you.
The Warriors of Winterfell
Chapter 29: A Free Ride
NORTHERN GROVE DRAGON SANCTUARY, TRUE NORTH
Dany woke the next day bright and early. Jon was already up and feeding Ghost his morning breakfast with Baesa already enjoying a salad. The ice spider was busy picking through the various plants to her heart's desire. As Jon ate his morning meal Dany could not help, but notice that hers was already set on the table steaming.
"So we are eating here instead of in the Mess hall?" Dany asked.
"Aye, Oonu said it is best if no one saw us leave. I have all my stuff packed as well as the eggs. He will be taking us as far as Pentos and from there we make our way to Ashai. We will be briefed when we get there," Jon said to her. Dany could only nod her head in reply as she gotten dressed for travel. Putting on her parka and hood she went out with her nephew towards the main courtyard where Oonu and his dragon await them. Dany and Jon both climbed onboard as the dragon took flight.
The dragon flew around the area looking for direction until Oonu pointed it towards the southeast. As the dragon flew both of them held on as the dragon gained speed towards the Southeast. They flew higher then normal over the Wall and into the Northern country. As they continued to fly higher they hoped no one will notice the Ice Dragon because it blends in with the clouds. Ziragon the dragon seemed to know the route towards the Freeholds as he flew over the Narrow Sea in no time at all.
To Jon and Dany such a free ride was something that they never thought would be over so quickly. It was not even a few hours later that the shores of Essos appeared. The city of Bravvos below them, and with that the giant statue that marks the gateway into the Free City. However Ziragon turned south and made his way southwards following the coast of the continent for another two hours till the sun started to dip in the sky. Only then when they saw civilization did Ziragon turn towards the city.
However he did not land in the city itself instead the dragon made a landing in a clearing just east of the city. There a man was waiting for them dressed in fine silks and jewels. At his side were two people with metal collars around their necks.
Slaves both of them thought as Ziragon landed in front of the man. The man was overly obese with folds of fat everywhere as well as oiled gold hair and the scent of perfume hung heavy in the air. Ghost growled at the scent of such a man.
"Illyrio Mopatis still fat I see," Oonu said as he leaped off his dragon. The other man smirked at the familiarity of the dragonrider. "Oonu of the True North it is good to see you as well my friend," he said before offering his wrist to the dragonrider. Oonu took it as he turned towards the two standing behind him after they leaped off the dragon's back.
Seeing Dany's silver hair for the first time he bowed low to show respect. "Merciful gods above so it is true! A true Targaryen has graced my halls once again," he said. Beckoning them inside his carriage. Oonu could not stay so he bid them farewell before he took off again. The sight of the large dragon disappearing has left both Dany and Jon without an escort. But then again it was the mission.
"Your highness welcome to Pentos your brother was a most gracious hos…." before he could finish Dany scoffed at the notion. She turned to him with cold eyes before Jon who also shared the same look.
"Gracious my ass! My brother was a spoiled little brat who was so horrible to his servants that I cringe when I hear of it. I also heard that he raped one of them. Then killed her to prevent a bastard from being born! He also got me a marriage contract with a Dothraki Khal promising him my pussy for his army. So tell me Illyrio what else has my brother been doing before he died and I want the truth!" she said to him. Her violet eyes glaring daggers at him.
The man sighed, but the false smile left his face at realizing that Dany had no interest in pleasantries, "I see the North has taught you how to stand on your two feet. And leave no room for such pleasantries. My apologies Princess Daenerys and...who is he?" he asked finally noticing Jon standing behind Dany.
"Jon Snow, Lord Stark's bastard and Princess Daenerys's bodyguard," Jon replied and Dany met his eye and he gave her a wink. He offered Dany a chair which she graciously sat down as well as some refreshments to give the atmosphere that Jon Snow is indeed her servant. At least that is what they wanted the fat merchant to believe.
"I see, so tell me what brings you here to Pentos. I heard only rumors and stories of your exploits across the Northern Kingdom." Illyrio said his voice quivering when the glare from Dany was getting him nowhere.
"Answer my questions first, what has my brother been doing? And what really happened to him?" Dany finally had enough with the crap that Illyrio tried to paint. Ghost began to growl while Baesa reared on her hind legs with her fangs protruding. The slaves quickly escorted them towards the large carriage that would take them into the city. As the horses took off Dany's glare did not leave her eyes.
Sweat began to pour from Illyrio's brow before he finally relented. "As you wish, Your brother was indeed a rude child. He did rape that girl, but mind you she was a whore to begin with. Paid to fuck him silly. But he didn't want to pay and when the woman went to leave she was raped by him. Fearing she was with child which is a silly notion he killed her committing murder. No one can know if the woman is indeed with child until she misses her first bleed. He did not end with one whore he did it to several others until they finally caught up with him. I could not protect him then. For he was seen by the King's assassins and killed in the streets. Is that the answer you wanted Princess?" said Illyrio his voice sounding a bit angry.
"Now that you finally spoken the truth you will answer another question of mine. The Dothraki Khal that my brother tried to force me to marry even though I was leagues away in Winterfell. Tell me about him?" she asked him her eyebrows arched.
"Khal Drogo? Well...your brother tried to gain an army to cross the Narrow Sea and invade King's Landing. I tried to talk him out of it saying it was a foolish idea. Even with the Khal's 40,000 horsemen and warriors they are no match for the King's Army. King Robert would surely raise the seven kingdoms again to fight for him." Illyrio explained to her.
Jon started laughing and the merchant looked stunned by such behavior. "Why are you laughing at me in such a way, you have a very rude bodyguard princess," Illyrio said feeling outrage at the sight of Jon's behavior.
Dany smirked her face filled with amusement at the discomfort on Illyrio's face. She crossed her legs like a lady of her station would do. But instead of sitting straight she leaned back in her seat. A sign clearly of how close she and Jon are.
"You are right in that regards Illyrio that King Robert would have raised an army to match that of my brother's and wiped the map of the entire Dothraki army. But that is if King Robert was still alive it would have been possible." she said and watched as Illyrio nearly choked on his own spit. He leaned back in his seat. The shock that appeared on his face showed that her contacts in the North had indeed faster news system then Illyrio had. Trying to regain his composure he turned towards Dany and Jon his gaze still in shock.
"King Robert is dead?" he said his voice hoarse. Dany nodded her head to show her sincerity.
"King Robert died in a hunting accident though some believe he was actually murdered." Dany said as she looked outside the carriage and saw the people in Pentos selling their goods to the highest bidder. Dany frowned at the sight of the slaves there and some of the young boys in armor, The Unsullied.
"Some like Lord Stark perhaps?" said Illyrio. Dany turned to him every bone in her body was absolutely still, but her instinct told her not to trust him.
"Lord Stark, Lord Lannister, the other Baratheon brothers the list goes on. They wish to see the truth and none more so then Lord Stark himself since he is after all King Robert's sworn brother," Dany replied right when the carriage stopped at a well mannered home. Dany was right to assume that it was Illyrio's Manse. The home was the seat of Illyrio's empire and the seat of his merchant business.
When they exited the carriage and walked up the steps towards the manse's entrance. Dany and Jon were impressed with the size and beauty. As they continued to walk along the pathways they saw the garden and the pool at its center down below. Servants tend to it all of them wearing collars.
"Why do your servants wear collars?" Dany said though she knew the answer.
"Indentured Servants are servants who are hired and paid for by myself. They wear the collars to symbolize their ownership to me. Unlike a slave an indentured servant only serves for a few years being well paid and the money goes to their families. In return they do the work around the house. When their contract is up they are set free to roam as they wish. However some do not see it that way. They see them as a slave and we often have to deal with slavers from as far as Astopor. Because of our treaty with Braavos we are not allowed to have slaves. So in order to comprise with both Slaver's Bay and Braavos we created the indentured servant system. Where we hire people to work as slaves for a few years and then release them. If we don't do so as the rules state then we answer to the City Council." Illyrio explained as he took them to the meeting hall.
When they entered they are wait upon by many servants as they were brought again refreshment though Dany and Jon only requested water instead of wine. In fact the entire time they only requested water instead of wine with Baesa adding a bit of chill to the water with a drop of her venom. Illyrio noticed this but when he went to the spider she reared up in warning. Backing away in fear he sat down on his large cushions.
"Now then without further distractions I want answers. Varys tells us that my brother contracted me to a Dothraki Khal one you, yourself named Drogo. Care to explain what brought this idea. I heard what you said before about his madness, but I want to know what truly brought this on? How long was he staying here with you before he decided to sell what is not his to begin with?" Dany said her violet colored eyes glared into Illyrio.
After drinking his cup Illyrio finally sat up to explain. The rolls of fat on his body made Dany want to vomit the food that she had ingested just to show how much he disgusts her. Jon seemed to share her sentiments with the look on his face. However because he is playing the bodyguard he can't sit down so he turns his head slightly to the side to try and see any real threats around the room.
In fact there are several spies around the room from the servants to the people passing through outside. Jon knows the signs and smirks. He silently whistles to Ghost and Baesa and they went out into the street as silent as the wind. When he turned back Dany was busy sniffing the food that was offered to her. When she found the food to be safe she started to eat.
"Your brother, Princess as you say was indeed a spoiled brat who indulged himself too much in the lavish lifestyle of my home. Indeed I offered him shelter for about six months. Found him on the streets wondering around a beggar after his original guardian died due to an illness. Viserys developed a taste in women and would often times raped them as you know. But as the days grew long he started gathering up debt. In order to avoid them I paid them off with the fortune I had. But then he started making assumptions about the Iron Throne as you know. When he heard about the Dothraki to the east he wanted to use them as a means to conquer the Seven Kingdoms. However to do so he thought of the only way to gain their loyalty was to sell you princess. So he sought after the Khals looking for the strongest and most ruthless one with the largest army. Well that is how he met Drogo. Drogo was a khal who commanded over 40,000 warriors to his side. His bloodriders are the most deadly of any warrior. So your brother sought him out and made that deal." Illyrio said with a shaking voice. Dany raised an eyebrow at him, "Go on,"
"When the Khal came he demanded your hand the hand of his bride. Your brother knew that you were in Winterfell and had no way to get you to come to Pentos. So he bought a whore and made her disguise herself to look like you. However the Khal knew of the ruse and cut her down in front of us. He demanded to know if he was lying about your existence. But your brother told him that you are in Westeros training to be a warrior just like him. So he told him that if a woman can defeat a khal then she can unite them all, a Khaleesi amongst Khals," Illyrio said to her. Dany was not impressed, "I take it Viserys bought that bullshit?" she knew her brother too well from the letters he sent her in the past. Full of nonsense about winning glory and riches beyond anything anyone has seen. However the reaction from Illyrio was not what she expected.
"He did fall for it. That is until I found his corpse in the streets with his intestines hanging out." Illyrio replied his face showed no emotion towards Dany and Jon. He leaned back against his chair his flesh flapping and jiggling as he made himself comfortable. Dany's mind was in thought about the events that happened. Now she knows what happened to her brother. Even though the details were never told to Lord Stark or to her, Varys was vague about it.
"So that leaves me the sole heir to the Iron Throne," Dany said but not before giving side glances to Jon who looked uncomfortable. They know that it was a facade, but things that have been tense lately and they can't afford to blow their cover.
"Indeed or as they would put it, the only one left of Valyrian Blood other then a few houses that inter-married into Valyrian stock in the past. All of them would vouch for the throne, but only I can sit in it," Dany said. Illyrio nodded, "But one can't have the throne without an army to back her," he said. Jon felt disgusted by the lies but Dany assured him before hand that things had to be done.
LATER
"Was it really necessary to lie to Illyrio?" asked Jon as they were on the roof of the manse. The guards were posted all around, but none thought to look up. Jon and Dany had hidden away where they can't be heard.
"It was necessary Jon and you know it. Your existence is a well kept secret, and I intend to keep it that way until the time is right to place you back where you belong," Dany said to him. Jon looked gloomy, "but what if I don't want it?" he asked.
"Whether you like it or not Jon you are the rightful King. You are the surviving son of Rheagar Targaryen my brother and you are also a son of the North. Meaning you have one of the most powerful armies backing you. The long night is coming Jon and we both know what that means." Dany said to him. Jon sighed tiredly not wanting to choose between duty and the death of everything.
"You think I wanted to be an exited princess Jon." Dany continued. "There will not be a day where I dream of sitting beside our family and living peacefully ruling the seven kingdoms with them. My brothers standing proud alongside your mother and theirs. Did you know that my brother wanted to annul the marriage between Elia Martel and him so he could marry your mother?" Dany said. Her smile sad and genuine.
"Yeah I heard it from Lord Stark. But instead he had the septim marry her and bind her to them. Making them both his wives like that of Aegon the conqueror. Except Aegon married his sisters." Jon said with a look of disgust on his face.
"That is why I wish that we can end the incest marriage the day we retake the seven kingdoms. That practice is disgusting and it weakens the line. Our ancestor Veserys should have married that Velaryon girl despite her age. But at the same time he should have probably married his sons to her for they are of the same generation. Instead he married the Hightower girl. I can see why; she was of age and her womb was ready for his seed. Plus the pressure of the kingdom to produce a male heir seemed more likely. However he should have had his brother as hand of the king. I think that is what killed off the dragons and weakened our power," Dany continued. Jon looked out over the city of Pentos the wind caressing his hair.
"You're right in that regard it started with Veserys and his namesake got himself killed by Dothraki for insulting them." said Jon as he leaned back against the roof. "So what do you suggest then dear aunt? We marry each other? Or what is your plan?" Jon asked snorting at the joke.
"First off we need to get these eggs to Valyria and we both know that no one wants to go there save the Dothraki and the followers of R'hllor. The place is cursed and the Dothraki often pass it when they travel southeast when they are going to trade with Slaver's Bay. After all Slaver's Bay holds the best horses for sale." Dany replied. And Jon makes a disgusted face, "They also hold slaves," Jon said.
"Yes, that is where the second part of the plan comes in. We need an army regardless of anything so for that I have thought of the Unsullied," Dany said to him.
"The Eunuch Army?" Jon asked and Dany nodded, "They are unique in their fighting style and we need an army to establish a port of calls here." Dany said to him.
"I see so we grow the dragons here in Essos their home of origin?" Jon asked and Dany nodded, "Yeah I did some reading while in the Sanctuary while you were cleaning dragon shit from the youngster's playpen." Dany teased. Jon smirked, "Always the brains aunt Dany," he said.
"Yep always the brains." Jon teased as he started to head back towards their respective rooms in Illyrio's Manse. When they returned Ghost and Baesa were already there waiting. Jon went to his bed chambers while Dany went to hers. Slipping into the room Jon looked around and found no one. Ghost was always diligent to keep people out. As he looked at the bowl of food in front of the door. He could guess that someone tried to drug Ghost and Baesa not knowing that Baesa was a vegetarian and Ghost will not accept anything other then what Jon gives him. On the side note Ghost also prefers to hunt for his own food.
When he looked at the bed and smelled for anyting strange he discovered that the wine that was left for him had a strange smell to it. Sniffing it Jon recognizes the drug inside as Milk of the Poppy. Smirking he tossed out the wine into one of the nearby plants and arranged his pillows to make it look like he was sleeping inside. However the smell of blood and Ghost's growl alerted him that something else was going on.
When he approached the door he could hear the sounds of a scuffle and a dead thud. He knew instantly that someone was at the door. Closing his eyes and allowing his senses to open he searched through the manse to find an animal he can warg into. He found it in the form of a cat just outside the window of the main hall. Using the cat he climbed up to the window to see for himself what was going on.
The cat's night vision allowed him to see the two dead bodies just outside his door. Illyrio's men were supposed to guard Jon and Dany's room. Jon being Dany's bodyguard would protect the inside while the two men the outside.
Now this is interesting, he thought as he watched the men's bodies. Their throats slit and their wide eyes showned their surprise at being killed. The man in question seemed hunched over his shoulders moving meaning he is trying to figure out the keys to the room. Jon mentally snorted and released his mind from the cat returning to his own.
Ghost saw the hand signal as he made his way into the shadows. His brilliant white fur would have stood out except as a direwolf he can blend into the shadows as easily as any nocturnal predator. He reappeared next to the fire and with Jon's nudge put his paws down and pretended to sleep. Baesa did just that as well going beside Ghost and tucked her legs in. Jon could see her eyes dim to show that she was asleep.
All his training was put to a test when he raced towards the balcony. It was there that he made a sound that sounded like a crow. Any ordinary person would think that it was a crow. Dany's head suddenly appeared from her balcony, and when she looked at Jon through the light of the moon. Jon made a hand motion towards the door and she nodded ducking back into her room. Probably to get the dragon eggs and put on her armor as well.
Just then the door clicked meaning the assassin or would be assassin found the right key. Jon waited in the shadows as the man entered the room. Slowly he walked in a knife in hand and when the light of the fire glinted off of it Jon recognized it immediately.
Valyrian Steel! This asshole is a Cat's Paw Jon thought. Though from the way he killed those two men not a very experienced one or a really sloppy one. Either way this man was about to die as he came into the room.
But Jon knew from experience that where there is one there are more.
Sure enough there were three more that entered through the door. Silent as always they walked around the room looking for their victims. Jon would not be surprised if they were the ones who tried to poison Ghost and Baesa.
It was then that he saw a shadow slip through the window. Dany.
Right as he saw that the first man neared the area where Jon hid. Jon silently closed the door behind him to avoid anyone trying to escape as he slipped the lock into place.
At the resounding click the Cat's Paw turned, but was met by the closed door. The curtains fluttered in the wind showing no signs of anyone. Sighing to himself he turned only to be met by Jon's piercing eyes and his fist to his face. Before he could sound the alarm Jon lashed out with his hand and struck the man in the throat and then snapping his neck. He then caught the man and silently lowered him to the ground.
The two men came into the room to search for them and found Dany's bed first. The first man raised his knife to strike only to curse seeing feathers flying from the bed. Jon hid in the shadows and at the sign of white hair he knew that Dany joined him.
The two looked at each other and gave silent signals before the two men looked around the room. Furious for what had happened. Both men were not prepared for Jon and Dany as they came from behind and snapped their necks.
However the last assassin was not as stupid as the other two. Sensing the danger both watched as he tried to escape through the window after realizing that Jon's bed was not occupied.
He did not last one step before Baesa with her smaller size seized the moment to bite the man causing his legs to lock up and start to turn black with frostbite. As he fell Ghost was on him and managed to rip his throat out. As he laid on the floor bleeding to death both Jon and Dany searched the bodies. What they found was a note with a contract written on it.
I will keep this short, your target will be Daenerys Targaryen. 1700 gold dragons if you can deliver her head to me for confirmation.
King Robert Baratheon first of his name, theKing of the Andals, the Rhoynar, and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms and Protector of the Realm of Westeros, and the head of House Baratheon of King's Landing.
"I hope they now realize that King Robert is dead," Dany said to Jon after she lit the candles in their room.
"Aye, it would seem so, but we now have to clean up this mess before Illyrio finds out. Speaking of which we should check the rest of the Manse to make sure that no one else died here," Jon said and with that he closed his eyes and Dany watched as they turned milky white. As he scoured the Manse he found no other bodies. He was in several forms from birds to cats and found nothing. When he returned and reported his findings Dany was relived.
"That means that we or should I say 'I' was the target," she said to him. Jon nodded, "Aye, probably leftovers from King Robert's reign." Jon said to her. Dany nodded her head understanding what Jon got at. Not everyone could get Ravens so those like the Cat's Paw probably gotten messages from sailors or errand boys.
"At least it wasn't a faceless man I shudder to think I would be facing them," Dany said to him. Jon nodded his head, "Thankfully they are on our side," he said reminding her of the pact between the North and Braavos.
"Well we can't let them rot we need to clean them up," Dany said to him and Jon sighed knowing he will not get any sleep tonight.
THE NEXT DAY
Jon stood as straight as he could while Dany tried to look elegant. But it was hard when both of them had to clean up the mess of the dead servants and the blood on the ground. Not only that, but both of them had to make sure that the dragon eggs are alright before making their way towards the dining area to break their fast.
Illyrio met them with his feast in front of him. Thankfully breakfast was a simple affair. They ate in silence since both of them are too tired to do anything.
"Everything to your liking so far Princess?" Illyrio asked her. Dany smiled as graciously as she could, "Yes, I did not sleep well my apologies. I am not used to the heat of Essos," Dany said using the rather warm weather as an excuse for last night's activities.
"I am sorry to hear that Princess perhaps you shall retire to your rooms for now to get some rest?" Illyrio said trying to be the greatest host.
"That would be nice since we leave tomorrow evening," she said to him. Her smile was of course fake, but Illyrio didn't catch on. Or at least he didn't show it.
"Tomorrow Evening? Why the rush to leave your highness?" Illyrio asked. His voice sounded pleading.
"We need to find Khal Drogo my brother made an arrangement remember and as the last member of house Targaryen I have to honor it," she said to him. At this Illyrio smiled, "Well no need to go searching for him your highness I already sent word of your coming. He will be here in two days to see his new bride. Your brother had your dress picked out for you and as soon as you rested we can try it on and prepare you for his visit?" Illyrio said to them. Jon remained silent watching Dany as she nodded, "Very well," she said and Illyrio clapped his hands together.
"Excellent!" he said and snapped his fingers.
"My servants will prepare a bath for you and you can rest today after all the heat must be bad for your complexion. I shall arrange for your rooms to be cooled to allow you sleep," he said to her. Dany nodded her thanks before stepping out with Jon behind her as if he was watching her back.
BACK IN DANY AND JON'S ROOM
"So our luck just turned and he is coming in two days," Jon said to her as she sat there on her bed. She was already in her sleeping ware. Her hair was down, but Jon knows that even without a weapon Dany was trained in hand to hand combat. She can take care of herself.
"The Khal is coming to assert his 'bride' then so be it. My brother arranged my marriage as was his right and as a woman I have to honor it. However we still need to get to Valyria. The only shit thing is that we have to convince the Khal to allow us to go. From what I understand of Dothraki culture Valyria is a sacred place full of evil," Dany said to Jon and the other man shook his head.
"I don't like the fact that you have to give up your innocence to someone like him. He is one of the strongest Khals to date and he has never lost a battle," Jon said to her.
"Are those rumors or facts that you've heard?" Dany asked Jon as she leaned back on the bed post.
"A little of both since from what I heard from my professor in Essosian Studies. He said that Dothraki are ranked by the length of their hair and the battles they have fought. A Khal is only created by the strongest of the warriors. If he proves himself strongest of them all he becomes a Khal. But the only way his sons can succeed him is if they can prove themselves just as strong as their fathers. To have one's hair cut is a sign of defeat among them, and a mark of shame," Jon added the last part.
Dany for her part understood this from her own studies into Dothraki culture. They all had to study the cultures of Essos as the high nobility. They had to ensure that they knew the language, and the customs of the people before they make a fatal mistake. Jon then turned towards Ghost and Baesa she was glad he gave the silent command for them to scout the area for any more assassins. She hopes this will the be last one, but she doubts it. There will be plenty more where they came from.
"I will turn myself in Dany. Hopefully no one disturbs us," Jon said to her.
"Don't worry I made sure to inform Illyrio that I will not be disturbed. All the passages have been checked and secured by Ghost and Baesa and the dragon eggs are on the flames secure and safe. Go rest nephew," Dany said to him. Jon looked at his aunt reluctantly but complied after all she was the one in charge.
As he walked away he could not help but wonder what will happen when they meet Khal Drogo. Will it be good or will it be bad. Only time will tell.
