Bab 35: End of the greyjoy rebellion and talk of dragons

Ned was in camp, walking between tents watching my soldiers treat physical injuries, handing out food, clothing, blankets, and more.

I see him walk and I approach him: Lord Stark I see that he is dismayed by this.

Ned was surprised by my voice and said: if I never expected there were so many souls in these conditions, I have looked into the eyes of some women, their eyes were empty, soulless.

Adrián: that's because they have no more intentions of living, they were raped hundreds of times or thousands, used as broodmares or worse tortured, there were more than 25 thousand, Lord Stark, they were almost 40 thousand, but the damned murdered 15 thousand innocents or more.

Some women came up to me and cried, thanking me for saving them, they knelt to show gratitude, I quickly stopped them, Ned looked at me intrigued, I knelt on the floor and said loud so everyone can hear me.

Adrián: Ladies and gentlemen, I am deeply sorry, for everything that happened, by my name I swear to all of you, that, in my Territory, you will never go through this again, you will never go hungry or cold, you will never be tortured or raped, never again will a pirate or thief touch any of my inhabitants, By my name Adrián Trant, I swear before the Ancient Gods that no person under my watch will suffer more from their hardships.

People cried and thanked me, Ned asked me why he had done that

Adrian: Because we failed them, Ned, you know he sent food, clothing, and shelter regularly every 30 days to flea bottom, sent healers, and rebuilt some shelter houses.

Ned: If Jon said anything about your work, he was proud that you thought of the people at FleaBottom.

Adrián: but do you know why I do it? Part of it is because it's my duty and I don't want to see them suffer, but there is another reason that no lord ever imagined, Ned thought for a moment and shook his head.

The reason is this Ned tells me how many people live on the king's landing.

Ned: Between 500,000 to 1,000,000 people, why that question?

Adrián: After the war, a total of 850,000, tell me what happens when the people are hungry, cold, or sick and the government does nothing now tell me how many are the king's landing forces

Ned began to analyze this and said: Forces about 7,000 gold layers.

Adrián: Now tell me what would happen if 350,000 people rose inside the king's landing in rebellion, the Ned People are bigger and more important than you think they can overthrow kings and lords, but they don't know, for example, Tywin with the Rains of Castamere, made sure that the people are afraid of him, but fear is not eternal, just a small spark is missing and everything will catch fire.

A people can be afraid of you or love you, I prefer to be loved and fair so that my people can be happy.

Ned was horrified and understood the implications: that's why you do it you prevent the spark from igniting

Adrián: yes, the spark almost exploded during the looting of king's landing, now I can only contain it if things continue like this Landing could be the first spark, then who knows, Well Ned it's time to say goodbye I hope our next meeting will be in other conditions and not war, I hold out my hand which Ned shakes

Ned: I hope so too Adrián, that we will see each other in other more favorable circumstances.

After the farewell, I proceed to give the orders to board the people on the boats and leave for Home, the trip was calm, we propelled the boats with water and wind magic to get there as quickly as possible.

The giants had already expanded much of the city for the new residents, they fortified the walls, the elves created more parks and gardens, and the dwarves reinforced the defenses.

Arriving at the port I had doctors and dryads waiting to heal people, the elves took many of the women who were psychologically unstable and began to slowly heal them, people were surprised to see so many magical races, it took a few months to adapt but they were strong people, they enjoyed their new life, they could cultivate gardens, work in clothing or alcohol factories, be apprentice doctors, accountants, administrators, merchants, navy, and army among many professions, we even taught magic to the new residents, there were very layered people with her.

Magic was very passive in the world only beings like dragons could reactivate it, but to use it you needed an initiator or catalyst and talent for it.

Surprisingly Rhaenys had gotten together with Zajim, she liked the boy very much, her mother Elia was happy with them, her other adopted son was named Lewyn in honor of his uncle, he was attending school, with Aegon.

Lyanna was training with Elentary, she was a good warrior and also learned the art of government, economics, and other subjects a bit reluctantly, Seeing that her silly brother Ned was running the North as if it were the South, it was going to end badly, several houses revealing themselves and his dead nephews

Oberyn and Doran used to visit us often, they used to bring their daughters the sand snakes to visit Elia, Obara stayed to train the art of the spear and whip and his sister Tyene stayed with Lunara to learn about herbs and potions, he joked on Obery n's luck that his daughters always had a Gift for something whether it be spear use, herbs or poisons, or navigation.

Doran told me about Arianne's engagement to Viserys.

Adrián: Doran, it is better that you throw that commitment away, without disrespect, Rhaella condemned the child when she named him King, added that madness fell on him most unexpectedly, he is Aerys younger, he is capable of selling his little girl sister as a broodmare to the Dothraki by an army that will never cross the sea, then there's another problem your nephew and Jon Connington, will join the Golden Company, which was founded by a Blackfyre Bastard and so I suspect Varys is going to put him in the throne to finish unifying the two branches.

Doran: what does the spider win with that. Did he never learn of the civil war we had with the Blackfyre?

Adrián: for the spider, only dragons can reign without collapsing, what better way to unite both branches, the problem is that silly throne, with just a whisper drives the person who feels his butt on it crazy.

Doran: So how would you handle the 7 kingdoms?

Adrián: easy advice with a representative from each kingdom, among the 7 they look for the policies that most benefit the kingdoms. There are no kings, only representatives of the people who seek the best for each citizen.

Doran: It would be an interesting idea, but difficult to implement some things.

Adrian: And that's why politics is hard, imagine the Reach with Mace as ruler, the council's proposal would save his ass in a big way.

Oberyn laughed at that: Another thing Adrian, is there a way to heal the lands of Dorne.

Adrián: Yes, but it will be a slow process, it is to make the magic flow into the land slowly and heal it, then the water flows again over the land, the last step is to fertilize the land so that it is fertile and plant trees, grass, and flowers.

I could send several Dryads and Elves to start the healing work, but it would take 10 or more years.

Doran was grateful for that, Dorne was a harsh place for lack of water.

Lyanna asked: Adrián what are you going to do with the Daenerys Girl, the poor girl will be affected by Viserys

Adrián thought a bit and replied: The poor girl has a clear destiny, she has to return the dragons to the world, however, I can show her a different path, I will give her a protective pendant, it will help her in difficult moments, it will ease her mind so that she does not fall into the madness of the king, I will guide her when the time is right, she has to see the madness of her family herself and face it.

Oberyn: I mean the Dragons have to come back, these sure are fearsome creatures.

Adrián: Yes, but they will not be the Targaryen Dragons, they will be the true Dragons, the ones they know are Minor Dragons, they are creatures that were affected by the magic to be tied to the Dragon Lords and something else that degenerated their minds until they were simple and flat beasts

The Elder Dragons unleashed the Curse of Valyria to end suffering, they were rational beings who trusted them, and out of greed, they chained them with blood magic.

Doran: and what is the difference between the two dragons?

Adrián: The ancient dragon He can speak, think, and reason, he knows how to do magic and is peaceful and calm, until they are disturbed. In addition, both are beings of pure magic that re-activate the magic of the earth.

The Minor dragon is a being that is moved by instincts and loves blood and fire, it will only follow the person with whom it was linked and nothing else.

Oberyn: One is a Human, but a dragon, but because the ancient dragons put those restrictions on their descendants.

Adrián: Because they are proud, they would not see their children being used as a Furnace to sacrifice the other races, so with the remaining magic of the ancients they used the curse of Valyria and unleashed the volcanoes.

Everyone listened carefully to the talk.

Three months after the talk, I was in my astral form looking for Daenerys, and found them in Braavos, Ser Williem Darry had just passed away and the servants were ransacking the entire house.

Viserys shouted that they aroused the fury of the Dragon and that he would burn them with fire, his voice already had certain nuances of madness for his age, the young 5-year-old Daenerys cried disconsolately near Williem, I landed in a room and I was transformed, I approached her and put a hand on her head.

Adrián: Why are you crying little ones?

Daenerys was frightened by the contact and the question, she turned to see me and saw a young man with green eyes and well-groomed dark hair, she fearfully asked: Who are you, sir?

Adrian: A friend who is here to help you.

Daenerys was a little surprised by my answer: Do you know who we are sir?

Adrián: yes I know, little one, don't be sad about poor Williem , death is not the end, it's just the beginning of something else, he will live as long as you remember him

Daenerys nodded and said that she would never forget the man who treated her so well: Lord how can you help us?

Adrian: at the moment I can only give you enough money to be safe, he took out a bag with 30 thousand gold dragons, but for you Daenerys I have something else, I took out a small box inside there was a pendant of a Gold Tree, with an emerald circular background, listen carefully Daenerys this belongs to you, only you can see and touch it, when you are in trouble just think this, that the ancient Gods take care of me and I will come to you, or your brother will calm down, you can keep the secret.

Daenerys grabbed the necklace and put it on, felt a small hint of warmth from it, and said, will this help me when my brother hit me?

Adrián: If the little girl just thinks about the ancient Gods and your brother will fall asleep or calm down for a moment, take the bag if you need more just think about that and I will leave more money for you, now I have to go little girl.

Daenerys asked: Will we meet again? And what is his name?

Adrián: Only if you want, but don't forget at your worst call me with the necklace and you'll see me arrive, my name at the moment I can't give you, Goodbye little girl I go to a room and I disappear taking care of the little girl with the bag of money.

Thus several years passed until reaching 297.

The Island prospered in a big way our population reached 75,000 inhabitants among all species, we had several attempts by Spies of Varys, Tywin, Ollena, and Petyr Baelish, but the vast majority were dispatched silently on ships.

Varys's little birds were taken to the island and educated, after a while they realized the uses that Varys gave them and they changed, they kept reporting things, but most of them were false.

We had a lot of trade with the North, Dorne, Crowlands, and The West, I met several times with Tyrion, and we discussed many innovative Ideas, from government, politics, economy, and more he is a brilliant guy, he is overshadowed by his family just because he is a dwarf, I told him that if one day he wanted to escape, the island would always need a bureaucrat.

Pov Memory 295-296

Adrián: You know Tyrion whenever you want you can come to the island, you can manage the trade department.

Tyrion: Haha friend you know you don't want me on the island, I would live drunk in The Distilleries of your alcohol

Adrián: Ja may be, but you are the most brilliant person that exists, seriously if you were in place of the damn littlefinger, maybe the crown would not be drowning in debt.

Tyrion was surprised: Is the issue of debts so serious? I have a glass of liquor

Adrián: Grave is little, 5 million gold dragons and growing

Tyrion spat out the liquor: What the hell are they doing, it's an amount that could never be spent in several lives and Aerys, no matter how crazy he was, told me that he left the coffers full of Gold.

Adrián: Tyrion's vices have a price, Robert's are expensive vices, especially with his creditors, Lannister, Tyrell, the Faith, and the Iron Bank, several houses began to increase Taxes and I think that Money is not used in a good way visit FleaBottom is getting worse

Tyrion was surprised and agreed that if the economy continued the same, the crown would end badly, with the loans from his house and Tyrell was a suicide.

Tyrion: Adrián, can you tell me about the system of representatives of the city, I have been interested in this topic for a long time.

Adrián took a sip of coffee: It's something simple, the city is divided into districts, and each district has elections for a representative of the people, he is in charge of letting me know the status of each district, what is wrong and what is good, the crimes and sentences, this allows me as a gentleman to be aware of all the situations in the city and intervene in the necessary sectors.

For example, one of the districts is failing in food waste or sewage collection, so I can quickly mobilize the necessary manpower, OR a district is going to do a play or a fair so I can prepare it quickly.

Tyrion: I mean, you give representation to the people, and they inform you of the things that would be missing and how you avoid corruption.

Adrián: It's easy, my police and judicial system are very strict, they closely monitor political positions, I even ordered them to monitor me if I want to implement a stupid policy, they warn me and reprimand me. In addition, people do it with pleasure because they know that it improves the service where they live, and I avoid the corruption of the Police and Judicial system because they were strictly trained in what is right and wrong, they have to pass tests to check if they are suitable for soldiers. or policemen.

Tyrion was surprised it was a functional system, a different and revolutionary policy, this gave him a lot to think about and more ideas that he could use.
