I own nothing.

Cersei was getting ready for Joffrey's wedding to Janei. She was dressed in a gold and Lannister red dressing gown. Her hair was twisted back with a small antler crown on her head. The maids moved around the room getting the things she needed for the day ready. Cersei picked up a goblet of wine. She took a drink as she moved around the room. That was when she noticed a letter sitting on her vanity. She moved over to it. She frowns as she picks it up. She took a deep drink as she saw the seal on it. It was the same seal on Joffrey's and her father's letters. She placed the goblet down looking over her shoulder. She broke the seal. Her hands trembled as she unrolled the letter.

Dowager Queen Cersei Lannister,

It has come to my knowledge that you have put your bastard on my throne. I have warned you what would happen if you did so. I have laid my father to rest. I have known all along you would never do the right thing. It is all about power and control to you. He has always been your favorite child. Do try to control the dog you that you placed my throne. You have given a madman absolute power. If you think I will back down because of our shared blood you are wrong. I don't want to be a kinslayer, but you and your bastard son are not my kin any longer. I will take what is mine by right with Fire and Blood now. You and your usurper son will burn for what you have done.

My Father was not stupid; a drunk, yes. But stupid no, I looked like my grandmother with his coloring. While Myrcella looks like his distant ancestor, you're your coloring. Why would he not believe that your sons just take more after the Lannister side? Oh, and you failed to kill my twin as well. He is alive and well by my side. He is now after Uncle Renly's murder, Prince Gendry Baratheon, Prince of the Stormlands, and Lord of Storm's End. He is set to marry Lady Sansa Stark as father would have wanted. And if a single hair is out of place my innocent baby brother Tommen's head when I take back what is mine. The Seven Hells will look paradise to any that harmed him.

Queen Joanna Baratheon-Targaryen

Cersei sank into her chair. She shook her head. Her sweet little doe would never write such a letter. This must be the pretender. But deep inside Cersei knew that was truly her daughter that wrote that letter. She reached for one of the drawers of her vanity with trembling hands. Where she kept the letters from Joanna while she was fostered at Casterly Rock. She took out one of the old letters. Tears started to well up in her eyes as she read her old letter.

Mother,

Casterly Rock is exactly like you once described to me. I see ships on the sunset sea from my chambers. Grandsire has given me my grandmother's room. He claims it is only chambers worthy of a lady of my station. He has even given me access to her jewels and he claimed they are mine to do with as I please. The library is huge here. The Maester says I will completely recover and will be able to bear children as it is my duty to the crown and my father. Grandsire is calling me he says father has sent me a gift. I will write to you again soon. Give Joffrey, Myrcella, Tommen, and Father my love.

Joanna.

It was Joanna's handwriting. She had disowned Cersei and Joffrey. She wanted to know what her letter to Tywin said. She placed the childhood letter back into the drawer. She took a large drink of wine. She took the new letter lighting it on fire by the candle. Cersei's face was illuminated in the burning letter. Two could play this game, she thought. Her eyes glowed in the burning letter like wildfyre. If Joanna claimed she was no longer her daughter, then she would treat her for what she was now a threat. Where was the Seven Hells was Jaime? She needed him back. He would protect her and Joffrey. Cersei knew deep down that Tywin would lay down his life for Joanna even if that meant the death of her and her other children. Seven hells even if it meant Jaime's death.

Robb sat across from Jon in his tent. They were going over battle plans. Theon stood off to the side. Catelyn came into the tent. In her hands were two letters. One of the letters was opened. She looked paler than normal.
"Mother what is it" Robb asked.

"Your Father has written," Catelyn said.

"What does he say."

"Lady Selyse has killed herself. He asks if it would be okay if Lady Shireen came home to Winterfell at the end of the war. I of course agree. Given that poor girl will be an orphan in a matter of moon turn," Catelyn explained.

Catelyn came around to Robb's side. Jon looked uncomfortable. She had made his and Lyarra's life unpleasant. Since they were seen as a betrayal of Ned. Even now knowing the truth did not make the hurt any less. Ghost brushed against his leg. Jon looked down at his hand going to his fur. Greywind looped into the room.

"An orphan?" Theon and Robb questioned.

"Lord Stannis was arrested on charges of Treason. Your father and Lord Tarly oversee investigating. If he says she will be an orphan then there can be no doubt of treason," Catelyn said.

"Jon, you do not look shocked," Robb said.

"When the dragons were born. Joanna went up Dragonmount alone in a raging storm. She had been missing for hours. The Dragonmount is made up of a large, jagged dragon glass formation that is nearly as sharp as Valyrian steel. Stannis, once we were back, was all but already acting like he was the king. Lyarra told me that Joanna told her that the night she ordered Ned, Sansa, and Arya out of Kings Landing by Ser Barristan, Aegon, and myself. Stannis ordered her to the painted chamber to make demands of her. I do not doubt that whatever pushed Joanna to have him arrested was more than enough to have him killed for treason," Jon answered.

Robb, Theon, and Catelyn nodded at Jon's words. Robb looked over to his mother. He noticed the other letter in her hands. Catelyn took note of Robb's stare. She hands the letter to him. He looked at the letter. He noticed the seal. It was the Baratheon seal. He broke the seal unrolling the letter.

Stark,

My uncle Renly is dead. He has been murdered. I have no clue whether it was done by Joffrey, Cersei, or Stannis. I would not think Stannis was capable of such an act. The Act of Kinslaying. But he has already committed treason numerous times to me. I was willing to ignore him until he said he should be king, not me in front of all the lords gathered at Dragonstone. I will have to deal with him when I return to Dragonstone. Once this trial and execution are carried out. Aegon and my army will ride north to meet you with any luck at Riverrun. Our house of roughly 120,000 and seventeen dragons. Once we meet, your marriage to Lady Marleina and Lady Sansa's marriage to Gendry will take place. I wanted to inform you of the promise I made to your father and Lord Walder Frey. My first born be it male or female will wed your son or daughter. Thus, honoring the bonds that were served when Rhaegar ran off with Lyanna Stark. Know this, anyone that now stands in our way be it family or not will burn. I tried their games. Fire and Blood will rule once again.

Joanna

"120,000 men and seventeen dragons what fool would stand against her? It will be a blood bath," Robb muttered.

"A Fool or a madman, which I believe Joffrey to be," Jon stated.

"Even if she was not Robert's rightful heir, she would win this war by conquest," Theon stated.

"Just Aegon and his wives" Catelyn commented.

"In more ways than one. Balerion is her war stallion, Meraxes is her lioness and Vhagar is her dragon." Robb laughed. They all looked at each other. Robb leaned over the maps. He looked at every possible move. Jon came over to stand by his side. Theon and Jon met eyes over the table. Catelyn stood close at hand. It was fitting that Joanna was reconquering the seven Kingdoms with Balerion, Meraxes, and Vhagar. None of them noticed Talisa right outside the tent. "At dawn, we head towards Riverrun," Robb stated.

Talisa's eyes went wide at the sound of the number of men on Joanna's side. She quickly put on her mask and walked in with a large platter of food. Everyone's eyes went to her as she placed the meal on the table.

"My Lords, My Lady your nooning meal," Talisa stated.

Jon gave Robb a look. He did not trust her. Robb caught Jon and his mother's look of displeasure. He used to be happy to see her. He looked back down to the maps. He would be faithful to his betrothed whom his father and his queen arranged for him.

"Leave us," Robb ordered.

Talisa bowed quickly, leaving. The shock that she was quickly dismissed without even a polite word. It was like she was slapped. She had a letter to write.

Everyone was gathered in the Great Sept of Baelor. Cersei was in the front row dressed in a Lannister red gown with a large golden lion necklace. Tommen was dressed in a Lannister red outfit Joffrey stood by High Septon. He was dressed in mostly gold and black baroque fabric with a Lannister red cloak on his shoulders with the image of a stag wearing a crown and a lion roaring on the back in black. Janei entered the aisle on the arm of her father. Kevan was dressed in Lannister colors. Janei was dressed in a highly ornate white gown with gold trimming and Lannister lion bejewel on the skirt. There are gems sewn into the fabric of the gown. It had three-quarter sleeves and then had gold sheer fabric that fell to the floor. She had a large ruby necklace that hung in the valley of her breast. Her gown curls were pulled back with looping braids with rubies hanging in each circle of the braids. At the end of braids, her golden curls hung loosely. She had a golden antler-like crown with diamonds and pearls on the bottom of the band. The nobility saw the lavish wedding and gown worn by the bride. Many had frowns on their faces. The was a food shortage in the city and most of the Crownlands. That was caused by the war. And thus far there had been no leeway on that front. If anything, Robb Stark the young wolf was winning. And if rumors were true which were widely believed because none of the members of the Stark family had been seen since Robert's death. They sided with King Joffrey's older sister Queen Joanna.

Janei and Kevan reached the steps to where Joffrey was standing. Kevan let her arm go as Joffrey came down, taking Janei's arm and leading her up to High Septon. He was not truly happy with this marriage.

"You may now cloak the bride and bring her under your protection," The High Septon said.

Joffrey removed her Lannister cloak from her shoulders. He threw it to the ground uncaring. Cersei and Kevan cringed at that. They knew that Joffrey would never do such a thing if Tywin was there. He placed his cloak on her shoulders. The High Septon tied their hands together with golden ribbon.

"Let it be known that Janei of house Lannister and Joffrey of houses Baratheon and Lannister are one heart, one flesh, one soul. Cursed be he who would seek to tear them asunder. In the sight of the Seven, I hereby seal these two souls, binding them as one for eternity." The High Septon says as he unravels the ribbon.

The High Septon then commanded them to turn and look at each other. To say their vows. Janei looked truly happy that she was now the Queen. Joffrey was not truly pleased with this marriage that he was forced into.

Tyrion was in a meeting chamber with Ser Tristan Massey and Lord Gormon Massey. The box that was a gift for the new ruler of Westeros sat on the desk. Tyrion had what looked like a Valyrian Steel Hand of the King pin, pinned on his doublet. Joanna had given it to him. She told him she found it in Visenya's chamber in a secret room.

"I'm to assume that you, Lord Gormon wrote your brother about King Robert's death," Tyrion asked.

"Yes, my lord Hand," Lord Gormon Massey replied.

"Tell me, Ser Tristan and Lord Massey who do you swear loyalty to Her Grace, Queen Joanna, or her brother," Tyrion asked.

"House Massey and I have always been sworn to Prince of Dragonstone. So, swear to Queen Joanna of House Baratheon," Lord Massey answered with no hesitance.

Ser Tristan looked down for a moment as he thought about his answer. This caused his brother and Tyrion to look at him harshly. His brother hit his shoulder after he did not answer Tyrion's question.

"I have not lived in Westeros in many years my Lord Hand. I am married to Emperor Bu Gai's family. Which is better for the kingdoms?" Tristan asked.

"My nephew is a monster fed by his mother," Tyrion answered truthfully. He thought of Joffrey's actions. He met Ser Tristan's eyes. There was a frown on Tristan's face. "He is a bit of a madman. My niece has seen most of Seven Kingdoms herself and seems to care about the people, common and nobility alike. It is part of the reason we have not taken King's Landing even though we have the men to do so," Tyrion replied.

"If that is the case, Queen Joanna. My wife and I and my father-in-law have a gift for," Tristan replied.

"And what does Yi Ti want in return?" Tyrion asked.

"Yi Ti wishes to ally with Westeros. My wife is Emperor Bu Gai's niece. He is facing a possible rival. He wants Westeros' support and in return reduce taxes on spices, silks, and teas and all exports of Yi Ti," Tritan replied.

Tyrion opened the box. His eyes went wide. Inside the box were three stone dragon eggs. One-half violet and half orange in color with a wave-like pattern around the middle of the egg. The was a glittery golden egg with speckles of pearl white on the egg. Finally dark blue with a gradient to black egg.

"Three dragon eggs from Yi Ti from before the doom of Old Valyria. Yi Ti never yielded to Valyria," Ser Tristan said proudly.

A dragon's roars suddenly echoed through the chamber. Tyrion did not look shocked by the call. Lord Massey and Ser Tristan got up and headed over to the window looking out at the sky. They went white at the sight of seventeen large dragons circling Dragonstone. They were all the size of horses. Nightshade and Caraxes were lankier but even then, they were still large. Tyrion stayed seated he was used to their noises.

"By the gods," Lord Gormon muttered.

Vhagar and Stormsroar followed by Caraxes and Gaelithox flew in front of the window. It rattled the windows. Tyrion smiled at the sight of Vhagar. That could mean only one thing. Queen Joanna, King Aegon, and their party had returned.

"There are seventeen of them," Ser Tristan said counting them.

"Inform Lord Stark that the Queen has returned," Tyrion ordered to a guard as he rose to his feet. He came over to Lord Gormon and Ser Tristan. They turned to look at him at the noise of the chair moving. "Yes, there are, and they are growing every day. Queen Joanna Baratheon and King Aegon the sixth Targaryen hatched them. Here on Dragonstone, on the Dragonmount. They are the mother and the father of dragons and the unburnt. Yi Ti's gift is a fitting one for the Dragon Queen. Come they have returned," Tyrion said as he left the room.

Ser Tristan and Lord Gormon looked at each other in shock. They quickly followed Tyrion. Tristan paused for a moment when he realized where Hua and Caishen were currently. He ran to catch up with Tyrion. Gormon looked at his brother oddly. Tristan caught his brother's look.

"Hua and my father-in-law are at the markets near the docks," Tristan mouthed.

Joanna and Aegon walked through the markets on their way back to the castle of Dragonstone. Joanna had on black bodice that had stags and flowers embroidered on it. It had a scoop neckline. It had long black sleeves that were close to her arms. The bodice ended shortly after her breast and then a blood-red skirt that flowed to the floor. Her dark hair hung in loose curls. Aegon was dressed in a black doublet that looked like dragon scales. He had Blackfyre hanging on his hip. Joanna moved toward a leather worker shop. Aegon followed her with Ser Barristan and Ser Edric.

"Go, Aegon and I will be along in a moment," Joanna ordered as she noticed the rest of the party stopped.

"Your Grace," They replied bowing before they departed towards the castle. Only Aegon, Ser Edric, and Ser Barristan remained.

"What do you want with the leather tanner?" Aegon asked.

"A saddle" Joanna answered flirty.

Joanna leaned up kissing his cheek. Aegon shook his head following her. Until he reached her placing his arm around her.

"Surly Balerion does not need another saddle" Aegon countered.

"Who says it for Balerion," Joanna said as she smiled up at him coyly.

"Who else could be for?" Aegon asked.

Joanna gave him a look that read "Really". She leaned up kissing him before she moved to examine the leather tanner's work. Hua and Cashen were looking at belts and sword scabbards. Aegon's eyes went wide when he caught her meaning. Joanna touched a piece of leather that was stained black.

"Balerion was not broken when I got him. Grandsire nearly lost twenty men in breaking him. You want to know who broke him," Joanna told Aegon. Aegon came up beside her examining the leather work. He gave her a look. She patted his jaw. "It was me. Grandsire had a fit when he found me riding Balerion bareback with no bridle. I will never forget that lecture. Don't you plan to ride your dragon to war? Wouldn't it be safer with a saddle?" Joanna asked.

"You think Vhagar will allow you to do that?" Aegon countered.

"They have been around non-Valyrian blood since they were born. If I'm there to fit, her with it. It would never be something that she would wear every day. Wouldn't you feel safer when our child mounts dragons?" Joanna replied.

The Leather tanner walked over to the pair. He bowed slightly to Joanna and Aegon. Hua and Caishen looked at the striking pair. They seemed to truly be in love with each other. It reminded Caishen of his daughter, Hua, and Tristan's marriage. Hua noticed a large ruby ring on the woman's finger. Hua approached the woman. She touched Joanna's arm. Joanna turned to look at the person. She noticed the Yi Tish woman. She was beautiful. She was dressed in a dark blue with golden flowers Cheongsam. That was went she noticed another Yi Tish man.

"Your ring is beautiful," The woman said in Yi Tish's accent.

"Thank you…?" Joanna said.

Aegon turned to look at the sound of the swords being unsheathed. Joanna moved her other hand up telling her guards to wait. This was a foreigner in Westeros she did not realize who she was and what had done.

It was at that moment that Ser Tristan ran up to the group. Tyrion, Lord Stark, and Lord Gormon Massey approached. They were shocked to see Hua with her hand on the queen. Tristan broke off the group of men. He came over to Caishen and Hua speaking quickly in Yi Tish.

"Do you have any idea who you are talking to?" Tristan questioned in Yi Tish.

"A noblewoman," Hua replied.

"Wife, she is the Empress the man beside her is Emperor," Tristan told them.

Hua and Caishen's eyes went wide. Hua let go of Joanna. She backed up a couple of steps before dropping to both of her knees, bowing until her head was on the ground. Caishen bowed the same way. It was like they were bowing to their Emperor. Joanna looked over to the man who spoke to Yi Tish man and woman. Aegon understood what Tristan said. He looked shocked that they bowed that way to Joanna and him.

"Forgive my wife and my father-in-law, My Queen, My King," Tristan said bowing at the waist.

Joanna walked over to him. Tyrion and Joanna's eyes met. He could see that Joanna was now dressed in Targaryen colors, not her mourning gown. There was something in Joanna's eyes that told him that Joanna was done playing games. This was the closest he had ever seen her eyes be similar to his father's eyes.

"And you are" Aegon questioned.

"Ser Tristan Massey, brother of Lord Gormon Massey. This is my wife Lady Massey Hua. And her father Prince Bu Caishen of Yi Ti. We seek an alliance with the rightful queen of Westeros," Tristan said.

Joanna and Aegon exchanged looks with each other. They nodded slightly. They motioned for bowing people to rise.

"Welcome to Dragonstone and Westeros. We are pleased to hear of Yi Ti's desire. Let us discuss this more inside the castle," Joanna said.

Joanna and Aegon left the tanner shop heading back toward the castle. Tristan and Hua exchanged a look as they walked away. Tyrion and the rest of the group fell in line behind Joanna and Aegon with their Kingsguards. Hua's dark eyes looked up to Tristan.

"I thought you told me Queen Joanna was lioness and doe in one. That is no lion or deer. That is a dragon," Hua said in broken common tongue.

"They both are. But she holds more power than man," Caishen commented.

Tristan, Hua, and Caishen started to walk out of the leather tanner's tent. When a group of men dress in black. Tristan instantly who the group of men was from, they were from the Wall. One of them had a scabbard with a sword that had dragon wings as the cross guard on the sword. The Pommel of the sword was a dragon egg. Even from where Tristan stood, he knew which sword that was, Dark Sister.

Author Note: I hope you like this chapter. Let me know what you think. What do you think Aegon and Oberyn's reaction to Tywin arriving on Dragonstone?
