The Avengers
"Let's call it, 'The Avengers'."
"It's a fitting name for the company."
"Then see that it is done, i am not sure for how much time it will take the usurper to send assasins after us."
And i really am not sure how much time it will take them to find us. In the books Viserys was able to somehow survive with his sister even after Robert sent assasins after their heads. But with some of my actions, if they are revealed and brought to his notice, especially Tywin's notice i will have to face elite assasins. "As you wish, your grace."
Ser Williem replied and left. Ser Jonothor was still there having not spoken anything since coming here. He too was one of the change that i had brought in the original events, as he would have died at the Trident.
"Ser Jonothor, would you like to say something."
"You are just like he was." I think he was referring to Rhaegar.
"What makes you think that, Ser Jonothor."
"He too was a quiet child, seldom seen without a book he preferred them over real people. We were concerned as he had neglected everything aside for his books and songs. And then as if he was aware of these facts he one day suddenly approached Williem and asked him to teach him how to weild a sword, he then went on to perform all the duties that were required from the crown prince. Just like you are doing it right now."
"I remind you of Rhaegar then."
"In some ways yes, but you are diffrent. Rhaegar would have become a good king, while you can become a great one."
And he once again became silent. As i sat pondering over his words. A few days passed over like this, as i became accustomed here. I dyed my hair in blue color, i preferred it over shaving my head. Even Daenerys's small tufts of hair were also dyed in blue color.
Some servants were killed, when they became too curious for their own good about the 'new visitors' though. It caused quite a bit of fear in other servants as they had mysteriously disappeared. But we had no shortage of men as we had recruited them over our stay at Dragonstone, i knew that the servants of this mansion had robbed a young Viserys and Daenerys in the show so i had them removed to prevent that event.
I had asked for Ser Jonothor to bring me a Braavosi water dancer, in order to train myself in that sword arts.
He introduced himself as Lorel, a bravos, he was a tall man with a slender build, with a rugged appearence. He wore leather shirt and pant with no sign of a armour.
"So you are the one who wishes to learn the art of water dancing."
"Yes, i do."
He was appraising me i could tell that, measuring my worth."The road ahead will not be easy, you will face many trials and challenges are you ready to face them?"
"I am."
Water dancing was not that complex of an art, it was quite simple to grasp. The application were also pretty straightforward, but training your body for applying them was quite a task.
Lorel was a very simple minded guy, he just said do this and see how it works.Many of his tasks were to train balance of my body and develop flexibility. He had not sent me out to chase cats yet though. Mostly it is carrying buckets of water without spilling a single drop of water or to dodge stones he hurls at me. Real trouble arises when he combines those tasks, i have a lot of bruises when he combines those lessons.
But i can see that progress is being made, and it will require time for me to become a master. But with the wars coming, i will require these skills for my survival.As i was training myself, time continued to pass.
Daenerys was growing, she was becoming more active. She would become one year old soon. She had started to walk around her room now, and was started to stumble a lot less now.
She was a normal baby, well normal as a Targaryen can be. Considering both me and Rhaegar were somewhat peculiar children.
The sealord of Braavos had visited us once, and he had mentioned that we were welcome to stay at Braavos.But i was far from assured, it was infact the opposite.
I wanted to leave Braavos as soon as possible, as i don't know how many people have learned by now that we are at Braavos.The sealord of Braavos was once again with us, but this time he was not alone.The representative from Iron Bank, a woman named Shiera Nestoris and Oberyn Martell the prince of Dorne were also present.
As i entered the room all the eyes present were settled on me. If i was bothered by it, i did not show it.
"I welcome everyone on behalf of House Targaryen." Oberyn nodded at me but it was a stiff one. I think i remind him of Rhaegar, which in turn causes memories of Elia and her children to resurface.
But he showed nothing of that on his face though. Ser Williem Darry came forward, and introduced me,
"Viserys Targaryen, Third of his name, King of Andals, Rhoynar and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms and Protector of the Realm."
The woman seemed amused by my introduction, but i can hardly blame her. It was quite a mouthful indeed.
"Yes they are my titles, but the usurper sits on the Iron Throne.
"But how does it concern us." He said referring to himself and Shiera.
"It is indeed true, that it is of no concern to you on who sits on the Iron Throne."
I paused and looked towards them, Shiera seemed surprised at my frank admission. I think she expected me to just demand her help or whatever. While the sealord looked towards me with intrest. Even Oberyn Martell had started paying attention to me now.
"But there are two things that will intrest you."
"And what are those two things." The sealord asked.
"Currently i can offer you nothing, but information on circumstances in Westeros."
"And why would we want such information." Shiera spoke, for the first time.
"Because there is going to be a war in Westros, the Usurper rebelled and became the king of Westros and soon there will be usurpers rebelling all over westros. Because it was the Targaryen name that united the seven kingdoms."
"But how does a war in westros intrest us." asked Shiera, but there was a gleam in her eyes.
"And more importantly what do you want from us." asked the sealord.
"I would say the Iron Throne, but that would make me a fool. At this moment i am nothing but an exiled king without an army. So i am not asking what i want, i am asking what do you want for your support?"
And Shiera chuckled, "aren't you a clever lad, so can you guess what we want."
I smiled at her, and she was once again surprised.
"You possess both money and influence so it is not that you want, as you will not require my help in acquiring them. But there is one thing you have not acquired."
"And what is that, we have not acquired." asked the sealord.
"Freedom."
Everyone tensed after hearing those words, both Shiera and the Sealord were serious, as there was no hint of a smile present on their faces now.
"Braavos was founded by the slaves that rebelled and were successful in escaping from the clutches of the Valyrian freehold. After the fall of Valyria, you have waged multiple wars to abolish slavery from Essos but were unsuccessful in doing so."
"So what, do you think you can abolish slavery in Essos."
"No, but i can help 'You' in doing so. My ancestor Aegon Targaryen was against slavery. Slavery is abolished in Westros, and i will help you do the same in Essos."
"You will rise against Volantis, to 'help' us. Despite them being the blood of Old Valyria."
"Out of the 40 dragonlord families, only the Targaryen's survived. Other's may call themselves whatever they want but we are the last true dragons. As i said i can help you in abolishing slavery and i mean it."
"And how exactly will your help abolish slavery." asked the sealord.
"I have said what you wanted and i am willing to help you in achieving that, as for how it will be achieved.. well if i say that what else can i offer."
"Don't play games with me boy, do you consider us as fools that will help you, just because you promise us that you will somehow end slavery." said the Sealord.
"I am not playing any of you as fools, as far as your help is concerned i will ask for it after i take my step in abolishing slavery not before." i replied calmly.
"What it is you need from us, if you are really planning on ending slavery in Essos, then you will have more than enough power for taking over Westros." said Shiera calmly.
"I want your help in weakning the Iron Throne, and for my protection now. I deposited the gold that i had taken from the treasury in the Iron Bank. The usurper will be needing gold to cover the costs of the rebellion and to run the kingdom.Tywin Lannister will help him now that Cersei Lannister is the queen, but with wars in future imminent he will be requiring more funds."
As i said this, i looked at them meaningfully. Shiera was staring at me now, and i could sense that she was measuring me, so was the Sealord. They were flabbergasted that such a young boy could be thinking and planning this.
They left soon after that, they were going to think about it. But i knew i had them.
I turned towards Oberyn Martell who was silent since the beginning.
"Prince Oberyn Martell, a pleasure having you here."
"Your Grace."
He nodded and presented me a letter. Ser Jonothor took it and presented it to me, after reading the contents of the letter i gave it back to him.
"Prince Doran Martell has agreed for an marriage alliance between our houses."
And there was a grimance on his face, he must have thought of the marriage of Elia Martell.
"The marriage will be either with me or my sister Daenerys Targaryen, when we come of age."
We signed the pact that stated the marriage agreement.
"Tell me Prince Oberyn, what are your thoughts on the proposal i had given you.I am sure Prince Doran had informed you about it."
"The Avengers."
"Yes, a fitting name wouldn't you say. To avenge the wrongs done to our House by the Usurper and Tywin Lannister. You are infamous as the Red Viper and Ser Williem Darry served as the Maester of Arms, i am sure you can create a formidable company."
"I want The Mountain and Armory Looch for myself." he demanded.
"They will be all yours, but i want to watch a good show. So make it intresting."
He grinned.
