Daenerys Targaryen.
————————
Dany watched as her nephew picked up her dragons, Aegiron, Rhaellion, and Rhaegal. Behind her nephew was Daeron's dragons, Sȳndordārys, Līāna, and Tegonāzma. She watched as her dragons climbed onto his shoulders, and for Rhaegal, to her surprise, climb onto his head.
She looked to her, used to be smallest, dragon interacted with her nephew. Rhaegal wasn't one to move a lot, he preferred to be left alone, and sleep, so what she is seeing now was a first.
Dany was stuck in her thoughts to notice that Daeron was talking to her, "Sorry, can you repeat that?"
She watched as Daeron nodded, "I was asking if you knew how to feed, and care for the dragons?" He said well looking at Rhaegal, who was glaring at Daeron's biggest dragon.
Dany shook her head, "Not really. I have read about them, but none of what they say works. Missy has been helping a lot though."
Daeron nodded, "I thought as much." He said, "If you want help with dragons from books, look for Septon Barth. He has the best advice on dragons." He looked to her, "The dragons eat burnt meat. They can cook it themselves but that will take time and practice. But they will eventually learn." She nodded, "The dragons will also grow if they are free. Not in cages, or chains. I don't ever want to see you do that to the dragons. The only time I will allow it is when you give one to the Good Masters of Astapor, but the instant it is done, take it off."
Dany heard the demand in his voice, and she felt a shiver down her spine. So she just nodded. Daeron looked back to Rhaegal, who was now on his shoulder, "You named this one Rhaegal, right?"
She nodded with a smile, "Yes, I did." She looked to her red dragon, "When I look into his eyes I get a feeling of doom. So I remembered what my brother said to me once, 'There was a melancholy to our brother. Rhaegar. A sense of Doom.'" She saw her nephew, scratch Rhaegal on the head, "It was one of the only useful things he ever told me."
Daeron nodded, "I get that feeling as well." He smiled at the dragon, "But he is also named after my birth father, you eldest brother." He looked back to the blue dragon, whom was staring at Rhaegal, with the dragon's head tilting sideways, "She's named after my Mother. The only thing my father ever told me of her was that she loved winter roses, and was a lot like my sister, Arya." He reached out his hand, and the dragon brought her head closer. He rests his hand on the dragon's nose.
He smiled, "She gives me the feeling of a Mother. She was the first of my dragons to fly, but she is my smallest." He looked to her, "Don't underestimate the size of them." He looked to the red dragon, "That also includes this one. Missy told me he was your smallest, but he is now the biggest. And most likely going to be the deadliest."
He looked up to the sky, "I should probably be going." He looked back to her, "Before I go through, I have some things I want you to do, and I have someone I want you to meet." She nods, "Come walk with me."
He turned to leave, still carrying her dragons, and his going into the air. She followed him well he spoke, "I'm going to be giving you half of the fleet and a quarter of our builders. They will listen to you, but they already know what I want them to do." She nods, "When your done with Astapor, send the slaves to Yi-Ti, on the ships. Continue moving to Yunkai. Some of the builders are going to stay behind to take that shit of a city down. They will do the same to Yunkai and Meereen." She went to ask why but he spoke first, "I plan on making the city of New Valyria there. I plan on conquering this land and our homeland. Together I plan to make the Empire of Valyria."
She looked at him with wide eyes, but then smiled, 'So it's true what people say about him. He is Aegon the Conqueror comes again.`` She looked at him with hope in her eyes.
When they come to a sudden stop she looked at him with a confused look. He looked to her and answered, "The person I'm going to introduce you to is a slaver and a kinslayer. But I still trust him to keep you safe." He opened the tent's flap, to show a man with some of his hair missing, and had broad shoulders.
When the man looked to them, he went to his knees, "Your Grace," he then looked to her, "Princess."
Daeron nodded, "Jorah I have asked you many times to stop kneeling, and calling me that." Daeron then looked to her, "This is Ser Jorah Mormont, of House Mormont of Bear Island. He will be teaching you of our home, and what your brother didn't tell you of our family." He looked to the man, "He will also protect you. If your life is in danger he will sacrifice his own to save yours. He will advise you when you need help, and when you have done something wrong." He looked to her, "If he succeeds in this I will forgive him, of his slave selling. But the Kinslaying will stay. No religion forgives kinslaying. When he accomplishes that he will be giving a set in my Guard, but that is it."
She nods, and looked to the knight, and saw that he was looking at her. She smiled at him, and he returned the smile, saying, "You resemble a ghost of mine, Princess."
Dany tilted her head to the side, "You have ghosts, Ser Jorah?"
The knight nodded, "We all have ghosts, Princess." He looked towards her nephew, "Even Kings, Queens, and Conquerors."
Dany nodded, "What is this ghost, I resemble?"
Before Ser Jorah could answer Daeron spoke, "You should probably get going, Aunt." he turned around to leave, "You will be taking the ship has the name, 'Steel King'."
He left the tent with her dragons still climbing on him. She looked back to the knight, and he spoke, "So who is this ghost that I remind you of, Ser?"
"My late Wife, Princess." The knight answered.
Dany just looked at the man in front of her. She heard stories of men falling in love with someone younger, and whom looked like their late wife's. Dany shook her head, mentally and spoke, "What happened to your wife?"
Ser Jorah shook his head, "It's a long story, Princess. But we should be going. I will take some time to get to Astapor." The knight turned around and grabbed his sword and armour.
Dany nodded and went to leave but was stopped when Daeron entered. "I almost forgot-" he said but was stopped when he bumped into her. Sending them both to the ground. Dany looked wide eyes at the man lying above her. But the look of shock quickly left to show a face of bright pink, when she realized where Daeron's hand was.
Daeron grinned, "You have every nice tit, Aunt. Not as big as Val's, but not to small." A pinker blush grew on Dany's face, and it grew even more when her nephew laughed, "Your very cute when you blush, Aunt." He quickly got to his feet, and held out his hand, in offering to help her off the ground.
She took the offered hand and in an instant she was back on her feet. She looked up at her nephew and spoke, "Thank you."
Daeron laughed, "Why are you saying thank you? It's the truth and anyone who thinks otherwise are gits."
Dany nodded, "What was the reason that brought you back in her, sweet nephew?"
Daeron nodded, "I'm leaving Līāna in Essos. She will be my eyes, for Essos." Dany wanted to ask how, but he continued, "By the time your done with Astapor, you should be joined by the Warriors of the Summer Islands. I have sent ravens to my allies asking them to aid us."
Ser Jorah spoke, "Sorry for interrupting," Daeron looked to him and motioned for him to continue, "Who are your allies?"
She looked to her nephew with a look of interest, wanting to know what the answer was. Daeron looked a Jorah with a questioning look, like he for some reason felt like Jorah was doing something behind his back. But he answered the question, "My current allies are Braavos, YiTi, Norvos, Summer Islands, and Pentos. I currently have someone taking Asshai for me."
Ser Jorah's eyes widened, "O- Okay."
Daeron nodded and looked back to Dany, "Both YiTi and the Summer Islands have already agreed on helping with the conquest. I have asked both leaders to aid a part of the conquest." Dany saw Daeron's eyes shift to Ser Jorah, "That will be all I'm saying. You don't know if there is a spy close by and is willing to tell someone who doesn't need to know this."
Dany put what he just said to mind, and it quickly broke the sentence down. She glanced over to Ser Jorah. When she saw him sweating, she looked back to her nephew, "Thank you for telling me, My Emperor."
Daeron shook his head, "Dany please don't call me that. We're family, and family don't need to be called by their titles." Daeron smiled, and ruffled her hair, making her pout, "But if that is what makes you happy, go ahead."
Dany nodded, she looked behind him and saw that the moon was about to go down. She looked up to her nephew, "You should be going, Daeron." And with all the will power in her, she went on kissed his cheek.
When her lips made contact with his cheek she felt the tiny stubbles growing on his face. When she was done, she took a step back and said, "You stay safe now."
Daeron nodded, "I will, Dany." He pulled her into a quick hug, "You stay safe as well, dear Aunt."
She nodded into her shoulder. He quickly broke the hug and left the tent, this time leaving the dragons behind. Rhaegal tried to chase after her nephew but was to slow. When she exited the tent with Ser Jorah behind her, she found that Daeron didn't leave in the direction of the docks of Pentos, but to the tent flying the banner of a black three headed dragon on a red field, the Banner of House Blackfyre.
Dany stared at the banner, feeling something in her burning. She has barely talked to Rhaenys Blackfyre, but for some reason she always felt hate grow in her when she sees Daeron and the woman spoke. Dany quickly shook her and walked in the direction of Magister Illyrio's manse.
When Dany got there she packed some extra clothes, and dresses for her journey of the Red City. When she left the manse she saw one of the most amazing sights she has seen. Not only was amazing but it was also memorizing, and a complete show of power.
What she walked out to see was the fleet of the Brotherhood leaving the harbour of Pentos. With the 'Dragonwolf' going west and the other going south. But then it kicked her. That wasn't the whole fleet that was only a quarter of the fleet the Brotherhood had.
When Dany heard three gigantic roars coming from behind her, she quickly covered her ears, and looked backwards to see the 'Dragons of the Old Gods', chasing there father.

(one week later)
Dany looked onto see the Red walls of the southern most city of Slaver's Bay, coming into eye range. 'Just you wait, my Love. I will take this city for you, and when we meet again, I will give you the ride of your life.' She grinned at the dreams she had of her nephew.
Dany was taken from her thoughts as her red dragon flew in front of her eyes. She felt a shiver down her spine, and a smile grew on her face. Rhaegal has been growing to fast. In the first two days at sea, Rhaegal was able to spit fire, and cook his meat. Within another five he was able to fly. He has grown past six feet, well his brothers were still only just reaching four feet.
When she heard her name being called from behind she looked back to see Daeron's only Ko walking towards her, "Khaleesi, the Khalasar is ready for landing on Eunuchs army makers home."
Dany nodded, "Thank you, Rakharo." The Ko nodded, and left. His spot was taken by Jorah, whom was wearing the armor of Bear Island. Dany looked back to the sea, and spoke, "You would think Black Snake and Rakharo, would be at each other's throats. But when you see them laughing and sparring together that thought changes."
Jorah nodded, "There are probably a few reasons for that Princess, but the biggest one is that they see each other as brothers. They are one of the oldest members of this company, and over the years of fighting together, the bond grew." Jorah looked to the sky, looking like is trying to remember something, "It's one of the requirements to join this Brotherhood."
Dany looked back to Jorah, "What are the requirements you need to have to join the Brotherhood, Ser Jorah?"
"There is only a few. But there are three that outstands the others." Dany motioned to continue, "The first is that you have to have fighting experience with a friend. The second is you have to take the Old Gods as your religion, and if anyone asked, 'Why?' The response is always the same, 'What is the name of the Brotherhood?'" Dany giggled at the cringe worthy joke, "The third is you have to at least have experience wielding four different weapons." Jorah explained.
Dany nodded, "What four weapons do you have experience with, Ser Jorah?"
The knight nodded, "Spear, Sword, Mace and Bow, Princess." She nodded, but before she could speak the 'Steel King' came to a stop. She l back to see that they were in the harbour. Jorah spoke, "Welcome to the City of the Good Masters, Astapor, the city of Red Walls, and the Home to the Unsullied slave soldiers, Princess."
Dany nodded, "Let the conquest begin, Ser Jorah."

Rhaenys Blackfyre
————————
Rhaenys watched as Qarth came into view from her ship, a galley called 'Little Maiden'. Beside her were Jack Worraps, Alliser Thorne, and Black Snake. Behind her ships were a quarter of the Brotherhood's fleet. And above her was Raraxes. Her white dragon has grown since she hatched, but sadly she has been able to light a big enough fire. She wasn't as big any of Jon's dragons, that is if she wants to believe what Missy told her.
Thinking about her dragon made her think about Jon, and what he said to her when she left Pentos. She smiled at the memory, his hand on her cheek, and the lost of her maidenhood.
Rhae shook her head form the memory, and looked to Alliser, "Ser Alliser," he bowed his head, "Get the men ready for the siege. They should know the plan."
Alliser nodded, "As you wish, Princess." he left to do as Rhaenys said.
Rhaenys heard Raraxes roared. She looked towards her dragon and saw that she flying away form the ships towards something. When she caught sight of what Raraxes was flying towards, her eyes widened. Coming towards them were Ships carrying the banners of the Windblown and the Company of the Rose. Form what she sees, she could continue about two-hundred-fifty ships coming towards her and her ships, counting only one-hundred-seven
Rhaenys' expression of shock quickly switched to one of worries. She looked toward Jack, hoping he would know what to do. He nodded, and started yelling orders of preparing for battle. But before they could do anything, a loud roar was heard coming from above them.
Everyone looked up to see that way above them was a green dragon. Rhaenys' eyes widened to see Tegon here. Her eyes followed the dragon to see it was flying towards the enemy ships. Rhaenys watched as emerald green fire spite out of the dragons mouth. Rhaenys heard the screams of the other people on those ships.
'Why was Tegon here? He should be with Syndor and Jon?' Rhaenys asked here self.
It seemed she wasn't the only one as themselves the same question. Rhaenys watched as a grin grew on both Black Snake's and Jack's face.
She looked confused at them, and went to ask, but was answered by Ser Alliser, whom came back when he heard the roar, "The King is showing Qarth what will happen if they don't listen the first time." a frown grew on the greying man's face, "I would have advised against it, but Qarth didn't listen the first time, so it's their fault,"
Rhaenys looked back towards the burning ships, and saw that some of them were carrying the white flag, she counted one-hundred-twenty-five and all of them carrying the banner of the Company of Roses, and that Tegon of sitting on the two leading ships. She saw the dragon moved its head towards them. The dragon flew back into the sky.
Rhaenys followed the dragon, and saw that Raraxes was trying to follow him. She looked back towards the enemy felt and saw that the leading ship was sailing towards them. When the ship came to the side of the 'Little Maiden'.
Rhaenys watched as a man with a large white beard and hair going down to his shoulders. The man also had a eye-patch covering his left eye, and his other eye being the color of a deep blue. The man had broad shoulders, and was carrying a longaxe.
The man looked to each of them, and when his eyes landed on Jack, he spoke, "Commander Jack," he looked to everyone else, "I apologize but I don't recognize any of you." he bowed his head, and went back to speaking, "I will be honest with you all, and say I did want to fight your Brotherhood, but my Commanders ordered it, and I fought them but they wouldn't take no for an answer. If you could forgive us, i would like to join your besiegement of Qarth."
Everyone looked to him with eyes full of suspension, but when they heard a roar they watched as Tegon came down from above, and stopped and landed on the two ships. Rhaenys saw the dragon nodded his head.
They were taking away from looking at the dragon by Alliser, "How can we trust you when you haven't even told us your name?'
The man smiled, showing white teeth, "I apologize for that. Let me introduce myself." The man bowed, "I'm Jon One-Eye."
Rhaenys nodded, and looked to the dragon and saw a spark of angry purple going threw his eyes. Her eyes widened, 'Jon is watching us.' she told herself. The dragon looked to her, and she saw a grin growing on the dragons scaly face.
She laughed, and the others looked to her, they quickly turned to the dragon whom was bobbing its head in laughter.
Jon One-Eye spoke, "The fuck is going on here?"
Rhaenys calmed down and spoke, "Sorry for that." she looked to the man, "We will be honored to have you with us. And we would love the other ships."
The man smiled, "Thank you. Where would you like me to do?"
"I would like your ships to help our besiege the city by the sea." Rhaenys spoke, he nodded, "But I would like you to land with our men."
He nodded, "As you wish…" he said, trying to get a name.
"Rhaenys, Rhaenys Blackfyre." the man's eyes widened, she pointed to Black Snake, "That is Black Snake, our Commander of Unsullied." Black Snake nodded, "The other is Ser Alliser Thorne, our Commander of Defense."
The man nodded, "I will meet you on land then, Princess Rhaenys."
"You as well, Jon One-Eye."
With that the dragon jumped off the two ships, into the ocean -splashing water all over them-. The Company of Roses ship left and joined the others. Rhaenys smiled, and went to her cabining and got dressed in the armor Jon gifted her, for her most recent name-day.

Qarth

Xaro Xhaeon Daxos, watched as the Brotherhood, and the companies, HE hired to fight the Brotherhood, work together. He watched as the ships got closer to the shore. Beside him was Pyat Pree, and just like him, he was watching the people disembarked from the ships, all of them wearing the armour of the Brotherhood. The armor being black with white edges, and a white frowning weirwood tree above the sternum.
Leading them was a woman wearing red and black armor. On the front of the armor was a black three headed dragon, the armor was mostly red with black edges and smaller black dragons. The woman was also wearing a belt that held a shortsword, that had a red handle, it also had a red dragon with amethysts for eyes, as the pommel.
Payt spoke, "That is Rhaenys Blackfyre." Xaro looked to him, "Daughter of Illyrio Mopatis, and a Blackfyre wife."
Xaro nodded, "We need a change of plans."
"We do, do we." Payt said.
Xaro nodded, "We planned for Daenerys Targaryen to be here, not a black dragon." He then frowned looking at the emerald green dragon, "Not only that but we weren't expecting the Commander of the Brother to send one of his dragons."
Payt nodded, "That does put a dent in our plan but we can still try and wed you to the black dragon."
Xaro nodded, watching the ships move to block there food root by sea, "Only if they listened to me when I suggested to bend to the dragon."
Payt went to speak but was stopped when they heard a roar that was followed by another two. They watched as a blue dragon came into view. Xaro slammed his fist on the stone of the wall of Qarth, "Now we have another one to deal with." he spat with anger in his voice.
They watched as all three dragons landed. They all roared their mightiest roar, shaking the city of Qarth.
