Chapter 1: Red Comet
Month's Ago
"What is she saying?" The Begger Kings Viserys Targaryen asks the knight beside him.
"The Prince is riding. I have heard the thunder of his as the wind he rides. His enemies will cower before him and their wives will weep tears of blood...She's going to have a boy." Ser Jorah Mormont translated the Leader of the Dosh Khaleen.
"Khalakka dothrae mr'anha! Ma me nem ahakee ma Rhaego!"(A prince rides in me! And he shall be called Rhaego!) Daenerys calls out in Vaes Dothrak as the Dosh Khaleen widowed wives of Khals chants about Rhaego the Stallion who Mounts the World, Daenerys's husband Khal Drogo picks her up in his arms and walks around the platform and the Khalasar cheers.
Present -Lhazar
8-month pregnant Daenerys watches in horror as her husband falls from his horse. She struggles to climb down from her horse Ser Jorah Mormont rushes to her.
Daenerys tells the Khalasar that they are stopping "(In Dothraki) He's tired, that's all. He needs to rest. We've ridden far enough today. We'll camp here."
Qotho from upon his horse he glares at her "(In Dothraki) This is no place to camp. A woman does not give us orders. Not even a Khaleesi."
Daenerys glares back at him "(In Dothraki) We'll camp here tell them Khal Drogo commanded it!" "(In Dothraki) You do not command me, Khaleesi" Qotho says dark and full of anger.
Daenerys ends that argument and orders Qotho to get Mirri Maz Duur to help Khal Drogo "(In Dothraki) Find Mirri Maz Duur, Bring her to me!"
Qotho disagrees with Daenerys about getting the Maegi (witch) to be the one she wishes to entrust Khal Drogo care. "(In Dothraki) The Witch, I'll bring you her head, Khaleesi.
"(In Dothraki) Bring her to me unharmed or Khal Drogo will hear why you denied me!" Daenerys commands Qotho takes off to the Khalasar.
Khalasar Camp
Khal Drogo is mumbling incoherently in Dothraki.
Jorah walks inside of a large tent within lays the wounded and ill Khal Drogo and beside him his wife and Moon of his life Daenerys Targaryen."Khaleesi."
Daenerys staring at Drogo's face as he continues to mumble incoherently "Come. He's very strong. No one understands how strong he is." she says soft and sweet, Jorah kneels down beside the wounded Khal and removes an herbal treatment from Drogo's wound, revealing it has become infected.
Jorah turns to his Khaleesi saddened "He will die tonight, Khaleesi"Daenerys is horrified by what Jorah has just said.
"He can't, He can't. I won't let him" she frantically says to the knight.
"Even a queen doesn't have that power. We must go quickly. I've heard there's a good port in Asshai." Jorah tells her hoping she will see reason and leave with him.
"I won't leave him." Jorah looked at her with worried that had to if they didn't she would lose her son Rhaego to whoever took over after Drogo.
"He's already gone, Khaleesi." Trying again to make her see that Drogo is not going to survive the night.
"Even if he dies, Why would I run? I am Khaleesi, and my son will be Khal after Drogo" Daenerys says proudly as she rest a hand on her swollen stomach.
"This isn't Westeros, where men honor the honor strength. There will be fighting after Drogo dies. Whoever wins that fight will be the new Khal. He won't want any rivals. Your boy will be plucked from your breast and given to the dogs." Jorah says concerned for his queen and her unborn child as both turn to the tent entrance.
Mirri Maz Duur enters the tent, and bows to Daenerys. Qotho comes to check on Drogo too, with a few other bloodriders at the entrance.
"The wound has festered." the Maegi says calmly to the Khaleesi as she checks the injury.
Qotho looked at the Witch with hatred evident on his face "(In Dothraki) You did this, Witch" (pulls a dagger out of its sheath)
"(In Dothraki) Stop it! I don't want her hurt." Daenerys stood her ground with Qotho again as she commands him to stop. Qotho has had enough of this Khaleesi it is very clear about that.
"(In Dothraki) No? No? You don't want her hurt? Pray we don't hurt you, too. You let this Witch put her hand out on our Khal." Qotho glares at Daenerys.
Jorah steps in between Daenerys and Qotho "(In Dothraki) Rein in your tongue. She is still your Khaleesi."
Qotho turns his glare to Jorah and than back to "His" Khaleesi "(In Dothraki) Only while the blood of my blood lives. When he dies, she is nothing." this infuriates Daenerys greatly.
"(in Dothraki) I have never been nothing. I am the blood of the dragon." She yell at him.
He shock his head at her "(In Dothraki) The Dragons are all dead, Khaleesi." Daenerys come to see Jorah point about her and her son's safe now after hear Qotho.
Qotho and the other Dothraki leave
Daenerys stare at where the Qotho and the other left, She speaks to Jorah who is next to her."I think you should wear your armor tonight, Ser."
"I think you're right" Jorah agrees with her.
Jorah leaves the tent.
Daenerys exhales as she turns back to her husband " You've saved me once more." Daenerys looks at her "And now you must save him."
"He's beyond the healer's skills. All I can do is ease his pain"Mirri Maz Duur looked to the young Khaleesi.
"Save him and you will be free. I swear it." Daenerys look at her with great pleading eyes
"You must know a way. Some... Some magic." Daenerys looks at Mirri Maz Duur with pleading eyes.
Mirri Maz Duur sits there pondered for a moment. Before she got a look in her eyes like she remember something. It made Daenerys feel like there was some hope.
"There is a spell. Some would say death is cleaner." The Khaleesi wouldn't hear it.
"Do it. Save him." Mirri Maz Duur hides her joy "There's a price."
"You'll have gold, whatever you want." Daenerys say confidant.
"It's not a matter of is blood death pays for life." Mirri Maz Duur says."My death?" Daenerys sad low voice.
"No, not your death, Khaleesi. Bring me his horse." Daenerys looked to Irri and signals for her to go get his horse.
Rakharo comes closer to his Khaleesi. "Khaleesi, do not do this thing. Let me kill this witch."
Irri has men bring the horse in the tent though a hole they cut in the side of the tent.
Daenerys turns to him "Kill her and you kill your Khal!"
"This is blood magic. It is forbidden." Men whisper
"I am your Khaleesi. I tell you what is forbidden."
Mirri Maz Duur starts an incantation
"Go now." Mirri Maz Duur says to all present.
Daenerys turns to Irri and Rakharo "Take her and leave. Take her!" Rakharo and Irri quickly leave.
The Witch looks Daenerys " You must go also, My I begin to sing, no one must enter the tent. The dead will dance here tonight."
Daenerys caresses Drogo's forehand as she moves to leave.
"No one will enter."
Mirri Maz Duur slits the horse's throat. Blood spills all over Drogo's chest and Daenerys face.
As Daenerys walks out of the tent she turns to the witch "Bring him back to me." as the horse collapses to the ground, dead.
She goes outside the tent Jorah comes to her"What have you done."
"I have to save him." Daenerys says on the verge of tears.
Jorah was upset "We could have been 10 miles away from here by now, on the way to Asshai. You would have been safe." desperately says to Daenerys.
The Khalasar is standing around the tent hearing the horrors that come from it.
Qotho emerges from the crowd "(In Dothraki) This must not be."
"(In Dothraki) This must be" Daenerys speaks back to him.
"(In Dothraki) Witch." Qotho looks at Daenerys with disdain written on his face.
Rakharo walks between them. "(In Dothraki) Nothing good will come of this."
Qotho had enough of people getting in his way of the Khaleesi you can tell by the look on his face now. Qotho looks at Rakharo as he stands there talking him down Qotho lift his fist and hit Rakharo right in the face.
"(in Dothraki) NO, you can't!" Daenerys yell as she move to try to stop Qotho from entering the tent.
Qotho unsheathes his dagger and moves past Daenerys, pushing her the 8-month pregnant Khaleesi hits the ground hard on the stomach.
Irri runs forward towards the downed Khaleesi "Khaleesi!"
Jorah moves forward and to stop Qotho from entering the tent even though he didn't agree with the Witch or that magic he wasn't letting anyone enter that tent for his Queen. "(In Dothraki) No further, Horselord."
Daenerys lays moaning in pain, While we hear Mirri Maz Duur's incantations in the background. Qotho turns around and lunges towards Jorah. Jorah swings his sword at Qotho the two begin to fight the Horselord swing and gets his arakh stuck in Jorah steel armor and Jorah uses this to get the upper hand and deal the killing blow to Qotho by slashing Qotho's face. after a few seconds Jorah moves quickly to Daenerys.
"Are you hurt?" Jorah asks her as he kneels beside her on the ground worry filling his words. "The Baby-" Daenerys moans in pain more, Jorah doesn't know what she is say till it connects in his mind. "...Is coming!" Daenerys gets that out before she fades in and out of consciousness.
Jorah moves quick to call the Midwives "Fetch the Midwives!" but no comes. Rakharo who is next to the Khaleesi and the Knight looks at him " They will not come. They say she is cursed."
Jorah doesn't have time for this Daenerys and her son are dying the more time they wait. " they'll come or I'll have their heads" Jorah is fuming that they won't help her, what will they do now he doesn't know how to deliver a baby. he looks to Irri and Doreah for help but they looked just as scared.
Rakharo steps in with a suggesting "The Witch- she can bring the baby.I hear her say so."
Jorah looked at the handmaidens and Rakharo for a second than to their Khaleesi, Jorah makes-up his mid he will take her to the witch. Jorah grabs on to Daenerys and lifts her up into his arms bridal style as he to walk to the tent with the Witch inside.
Hours later
Daenerys starts to stir from her sleep. Jorah is sitting by her bed as she tries to sit up.
"Gently, Gently now my Khaleesi.' Jorah say as he up her sit up. Daenerys looks around for her son but see no one but Jorah.
"My son- Where is he? I want him. Where is he?" Jorah looked at her face with a sorrow filled look
" The boy did not live. I am sorry." Jorah said tears threatening to come out but he pulls them back he has to be strong.
Daenerys turn away from him with a painful look. "How did my son die?"
Jorah looked at her " What is there to tell? He never lived, My Princess. The women say-"
Mirri Maz Duur enters the tent and looks at the young Khaleesi and her Knight.
"Monstrous, I pulled him out myself. He was scaled like a lizard on his back, smaller than he should have been at 8 moons. I warned you that only death can pay for life. You knew the price." Mirri Maz Duur must have been proud of herself for the events that have happened. Daenerys was mad at her for the loss of her son but did that mean Drogo her Sun and Stars was alive.
"Where is Khal Drogo? Show him to me. Show me what I bought with my son's life." Mirri Maz Duur did as the Khaleesi command and took her to Khal Drogo.
Jorah was not happy that Daenerys refused to wait till later and rest so off they went to where Khal Drogo lays. Daenerys looked around as they walked there and took note that the Khalasar was gone aloud to Jorah.
"A Khal who cannot ride is no Khal. The Dothraki follow only the strong. I'm sorry Princess." Jorah informs her sadly just as they reach Khal Drogo.
"Drogo! (In Dothraki) My Sun and Stars ( In Common Tongue) Why is he out here alone?" Daenerys looked at the Witch and the Knight.
Jorah was the first to speak "He seems to like the warmth, Princess" the Witch spoke next as she nodded her head in agreement with the Knight.
"He lives. You asked for life, you paid for life." Jorah hate every moment with this Witch she say this is life this isn't.
Daenerys turns looking at her husband's catatonic expression "This is not life. When will he be as he was?"
Mirri Maz Duur steps closer a bit "When the sun rises in the west, and sets in the east. when the seas go dry. When the mountains blow in the wind like leaves." Daenerys was not happy with the Witch after she said that so Drogo will never be as he was, She would never have her Sun and Stars back. Looking at Jorah now she sends him way she want to be alone with Drogo and this Witch. Jorah protests against leaving Daenerys with the sorceress but Daenerys reassures him that it is alright and he leaves.
Mirri Maz Duur and Daenerys have a conservation alone.
"You knew what I was buying and you knew the price." Daenerys fumes at the Witch.
"It was wrong of them to burn my temple. It angered the Great Shepherd." Daenerys can't believe the Witch is using a God as a reason for the events that have happened.
" This is not God's work. My child was innocent."
This made the Witch laugh quietly "Innocent? He would have been The Stallion Who Mounts The World. Now he will burn no cities. Now his Khalasar will trample no nations into dust."
Daenerys couldn't believe what she was hearing after all she did for this Witch this is how she treats her after saving her and protecting her. " I spoke for you. I saved you."
Mirri Maz Duur shakes her head at the Khaleesi " Saved me? Three of those riders had already raped me before you saved me girl. I saw my God's houses burn, There where I healed men and women beyond counting. In the streets I saw piles of heads, the head of the Baker who makes my bread, the head of a young boy that I had cured of fever just 3 moons past. So tell me again exactly what it was that you saved?" Daenerys feels all the angry and rage building with ever word this Witch spoke. The betrayal that this Witch has just done to her.
"Your life." Daenerys did save her life more than once she could have let Qotho kill her could have let all the rider rape her in front of her God's Houses.
The Witch is done talking " Why don't you take a look at your Khal. Then you will see exactly what life is worth when all the rest is gone." Mirri Maz Duur leaves Daenerys with her Khal.
Daenerys tending to Drogo and the wounds inside their tent.
" (In Dothraki) Do you remember our first ride, My Sun and Stars? If you are there, If you haven't gone away, show me. You're a fighter. You've always been a fighter. I need you to fight now. I know you're very far away, but come back to me, My Sun and Stars."
Daenerys is leaning with her head on Drogo's chest, now more distressed than ever and crying for her husband.
"(crying) When the sun rises in the west and sets in the east. The you shall return to me, My Sun and Stars." Daenerys lean up to him and kisses Drogo on the lips sweetly as she crying.
Daenerys slow bring a pillow over towards her and Drogo and brings it to his face and smother him with it.
A Hour later
Daenerys leads a ceremony for Drogo after his death. Some of the Khalasar did stay with her Rakharo, Irri, Doreah, Kovarro and other Dothraki and some Lhazareen. Rakharo bring her chest that has her three dragon egg inside and on her commanded he places them on the funeral pyre for Drogo. The Pyre is not just for Drogo it is also for Rhaego who Daenerys hold wrapped in cloth in her arms.
Jorah watches this confused "Drogo will have no use for dragon eggs in the Night Lands. Sell them. You can return to the Free Cities and live as a wealthy woman for all your days."
Jorah fears Daenerys will not let Drogo go. " They were not given to me to sell."
Daenerys has this eerily calm face on as the ceremony is get ready. "Khaleesi, My Queen, I vow to serve you, obey you, to die for you if need be, but let him go, Khaleesi. I know what you intend. Do not."
Daenerys look at her Knight "I must. You don't understand." With great sorrow Jorah begs her not to make him watch her burn with Drogo and Rhaego.
Daenerys smiles softly at Jorah "Is that what you fear?"
She kisses Jorah on the cheek, than speaks to the rest of the people who stay with her.
"You will be my Khalasar. I see the faces of slaves.I free you. Take off your collars. Go if you wish, no one will stop you. But if you stay it will be as brother and sister, as husbands and wives." Daenerys gives a hopeful and beauty speech to the Khalasar..."
Tie to the Pyre is Mirri Maz Duur the Witch who took everything from Daenerys. took her husband and her Son. She was not going to let that go. Daenerys continues with her speech.
"I am Daenerys Stormborn of House Targaryen of the blood of old Valyria. I am the Dragon's Daughter. And I swear to you that those who would harm you will die screaming."
The Witch doesn't know when to keep her mouth shut. "You will not hear me scream."
Daenerys looks at her with a calm expression "I will. But it is not your screams I want. Only your life."
Daenerys walk towards the pyre with Rhaego in one arm and the torch in her other hand and lights it on fire. The fire quick goes along the sticks in shapes around Drogo, the Dragon eggs and the Witch. Mirri Maz Duur starts uttering some incantations which quickly turns in to screams. Daenerys looks at her son who she cradles in her arm than looks toward Drogo and walks into the pyre as her dress catches fire. The flames soon engulfs everything. All Jorah can do is turn away from the pyre and walk to the tent sad at the thought of his Queen burning with her son and husband.
The Sun rises over the mountains as the remains of Daenerys Khalasar start to stir awake. Jorah come out of the tent to see if anything is left from the pyre. All he see is smoke and ash as he gets closer he hear what sounds like a baby crying. Jorah pace quickly a little as he closes in on the pyre with the other Khalasar members watching as well. he walks over the ash.
There though the smoke comes a naked Daenerys covered in soot and carrying not just her son but three dragons one on her shoulder the other two on her arms above the baby who is crying. All present can't believe what they are seeing not only are there dragons but the dead son of Khal Drogo and their Khaleesi Daenerys there he is alive.
All present bow to their Khaleesi "Blood of my blood" Jorah says as he bow to Daenerys to his Queen.
Rhaego continues to cry in his mothers arms as the dragons begin to screech from upon Daenerys.

Chapter Text
Chapter 2: Garden of Bones, Warlocks and Betrayal
"The Black one will be Drogon after my husband Khal Drogo"
"The Green one will be Rhaegal after my oldest brother Rhaegar"
"And the last one The Cream color one will be Viserion after my brother Viserys"
The sun shines down upon the desert without mercy, the wind is dry and catches only sand and heat. Daenerys's Khalasar walks upon this hot dry ground as Daenerys walks along the side of the horses with Drogon on her shoulder and Doreah watching from behind with Rhaego in her arms wrapped in a light cloth blanket with slightly oversize brown color cloth shirt on him. Daenerys is attempting to feed Drogon some meat, but he refuses.
"What did your brother say about them, Khaleesi?" Doreah calls from behind her as Doreah moves to Daenerys side.
Daenerys looks at Drogon." He said they ate meat."
"He didn't tell you what kind of meat?" Doreah asks
Daenerys was getting annoyed "My brother didn't know anything about dragons. He didn't know anything about anything."
Doreah looks down dejectedly as Daenerys moves to the horse holding the her and Rhaego's other dragons in little carrying cages and puts Drogon into his. At the front of the Khalasar a white horse suddenly collapses. Jorah moves to the downed horse as Daenerys follows him. She kneels down to check on her horse but there is nothing they can do. Daenerys looks sadly at her horse "She was Drogo's First gift to me."
Jorah look at the young Khaleesi " I remember."
Daenerys sorrow ends quickly as the big issues comes back to her mind." I promised to protect them. Promised them their enemies would die screaming. How do I make starvation scream?" Daenerys looks at Jorah angry in her eyes.
Jorah looks at her with a calm expression. "A trick I never learned, I'm afraid."
Daenerys sighs at his statement, what is she to do her people are going to dead at this rate. "Does it ever end?" she asks with some hope, it had to if not her people would die,she would die and her son would die again! She wasn't going to let that happen not now not ever.
"This is further east than I've ever been. But yes, Khaleesi, everything ends, even the Red Waste." Jorah gives her hope that they will get out of the Red Waste.
"And are you sure there is no other way?" Daenerys asks wishing they never came this way.
"If we go south to the lands of the Lazarheen, The Lamb Men will kill us all and take your Dragon and butcher your son. If we go west to the Dothraki Sea, the first Khalasar we met will due the same there." Jorah continued to look at her with a calm expression.
"No one will kill my son or take our Dragons" Daenerys voices with a wrath of any mother protecting her child.
"They are too weak to fight, as are your people. You must be their strength." Jorah know the people most have hope and will look to their Khaleesi for that strength.
Daenerys turn to him with a lovely look "As you are mine."
Daenerys calls in Dothraki for Rakharo,Aggo,Kovarro. She stand and turns to address them
"(In Dothraki) Rakharo, Aggo, Kovarro. Take our remaining horses, You will ride east, You southeast, and you northeast." Daenerys looks at them with confidants that they will do what is needed.
"(In Dothraki)What do we seek, Khaleesi?" Rakharo asks with wonder of what he Khaleesi is thinking.
"(In Dothraki)Cities, living or dead. Caravans and people. Rivers or lakes or the Great Salt Sea. Find how far the Red Waste extends before us, and what lies on the other side." Daenerys hopes this will help end her sons and her peoples suffering and they can get out of the Red Waste. Daenerys walks to Rakharo as he is about to leave.
"(In Dothraki) Rakharo, You are my last hope, Blood of my Blood." Rakharo looks at his great Khaleesi for she is kind and strong.
"(In Dothraki) I will not fail you, Blood of my Blood." Daenerys smile at him
"(In Dothraki) You never have." Rakharo smiles at her
"(In Common Tongue) This is...bad time to start." the sweet moment ends and he climbs on to his horse.
Rakharo and the other riders take off to their respective directions as Daenerys looks up at the Red Comet, looking troubled.
The Khalasar waits in the hot sun with little shade to hide in. The people appear tired and weak, Jorah and Daenerys sit beside one another as she holding Rhaego who is sleeping in the shade make little sounds here and there careless as can be. Jorah takes a sip of his water and sighs, as in the distance he hear what sounds like a horse.
Jorah turns to the sound of a horse running up on the Khalasar only to see it riderless. "Khaleesi!" Daenerys look up from Rhaego to the horse which is covered in red paint. Jorah walks over to the horse and sees a soaking wet sack attached to it with some hair sticking are buzzing around the sack, Jorah walks up to the sack and pulls out a human head. He quickly puts it back in the sack but grab the ponytail of the head which has been cut off. Daenerys carefully gives Rhaego to Doreah and approaches the horse.
Jorah nods at Daenerys which causes her to get a very saddened expression as she walks closer to the sack.Jorah tires to stop her but she continues on " He is Blood of my Blood." Daenerys looks in the sack but quickly looks away.
"Who did this?" Daenerys asks Jorah with angry building in her voice.
Jorah looks at the sack on the horse than at the red paint pondering the answer. "Khal Pono perhaps, Khal Jhaqo they don't like the idea of a woman leading a Khalasar."
This made Daenerys's anger grow more " They will like it far less when I'm done with them."
As Jorah look worried as Daenerys and her threats to the other Khal. Irri Daenerys's handmaiden walks away from Doreah and Prince Rhaego and goes to her Khaleesi and Ser Jorah. She looks at the head and falls to the hard dry ground crying into her hands.
"(In Dothraki)No! They killed his soul!" Irri cries grown louder but Daenerys quickly go to her to comfort her over Rakharo death at the hands of another Khal. "(In Dothraki) They butcher him like an animal. They did not burn his body cant never join his ancestors in the Night Lands."
"(In Dothraki) Shh, We will build him a funeral pyre. And I swear to you, Rakharo will ride with his ancestors tonight." Daenerys say to the grieving Irri, she than looks at Jorah who looks down away from Daenerys.
In the distances a lone horseman is seen as he gets closer he becomes more clear. Kovarro rides through the desert towards Daenerys, who looks lethargic and desperate.
"(In Dothraki) This isn't your horse." She says confused by how he would have gotten another horse from.
Kovarro dismounts and walks to Daenerys with the horse rein in hand. "(In Dothraki) It was given to me by the Thirteen. The Elders of Qarth."
Daenerys looks confused at what he says. Who are the Thirteen and why did they gift Kovarro with a horse. "Qarth?"
'(In Dothraki) Three days to the east, on the sea. They said they would be honored to receive the Mother of Dragons." Daenerys is unnerve by a sudden welcoming and is worried by it.
She turns to Jorah "What do you know of this place?" she asks with hope that Jorah will put to rest her fears. Sadly Jorah doesn't know much and what he does doesn't help stop her fears.
"Only that the desert around their walls is called The Garden of Bones. Every time the Qartheen shut their gates on a traveler, the garden grows." Jorah knows this didn't help her fear but she may need them as he to fear this will not end well for them in Qarth.
Days later outside the City of Qarth
Daenerys and her Khalasar approach the City of Qarth but the gates are Closed.
"I thought we were welcome." Daenerys look with concern on her face.
Jorah looked to the side at Daenerys"If you heard a Dothraki horde was approaching your city, you might do the same, Khaleesi." Daenerys looked bewildered by this her Khalasar was no horde they had few numbers and most of them were former slaves and were also to tired and hungry for them to attack a city.
The Qarth gates open a little for soldiers to come out and line the soldiers were in attention a group of thirteen emissaries from the city walks forward from the gates as they closed before Daenerys or the Khalasar to see the city. Daenerys addresses the Thirteen.
"My name is Daenerys." she calls to the Spice King and the twelve other emissaries.
The Spice King quickly speaks "Daenerys Stormborn of the House Targaryen." Daenerys is confused they know her and her House. " You know me, my Lord."
The Spice King laugh lightly "Only by reputation, Khaleesi. And I'm no lord , merely a humble merchant. They call you the Mother of Dragons."
Daenerys is wearily "And what should I call you?" Looking to the fat Spice King.
"Oh, My name is quite long and quite impossible for foreigners to pronounce. I am simply a trader of spices. But we the Thirteen, charged with the governance and protection of Qarth, the greatest city that ever was or will be." Daenerys was not the smartest person but she knows how to tell they want something and she fears it will cost to much.
The Spice King smiles at her "Might we see your dragons?" There it was the dragons that what they are after well they aren't getting them if that is what they think but she needs in that city.
Daenerys looks at the woven chest that holds the dragons on top of the horse, Nervous and a bit desperate.
"My friends, we have traveled very far. We have no food, no water. Once I see my people fed, I would be honored" before she could finish talking the fat Spice King spoke.
"Forgive me, Mother of Dragons, but no man alive has seen a living dragon. Some of my more skeptical friends refuse to believe your children even exist. All we ask is the chance to see for ourselves." Daenerys is getting mad all they want is to see her dragon than what kill them all and take them for themselves. Her Son, Her People need her to get them safe and fed.
"I am no liar." Daenerys said with slight angrier in her voice
"Oh, I don't think you are. But as I've never met you before, my opinion on the matter is of limited value." the Spice King is pushing he lucky with Daenerys.
" Where I come from guests are treated with respect, not insulted at the gates." The Spice King doesn't care what Daenerys says.
"Then perhaps you should return to where you came from. We wish you well."The Spice King turns to leave.
Daenerys can't believe they will shut them out like this after they promised to receive her and her Khalasar. If they don't get in the Qarth they are all dead. The Spice King no this he playing with them and he is winning. She needs to get her son and people in that city no matter what. Daenerys follows after the Thirteen,the soldiers react to her getting closer, they held their spears out in a clear warning. The Thirteen stop and turn towards Daenerys as she calls to them.
"Thirteen! When our dragons are grown, we will take back what was stolen from me and my son and destroy those who have wronged us. We will lay waste to armies and burn cities to the ground. Turn us away and we will burn you first." Daenerys threats like a true Targaryen.
"Ah, You are a true Targaryen. Only, as you said a moment ago, if we don't let you into the city, you will all die. and so." The Spice King states.
Xaro Xhoan Daxos steps out from the back of the Thirteen. "Retreating in fear from a little girl is unbecoming of the greatest city that ever was or will be."
The Spice King doesn't care what Xaro is saying " The discussion is over Xaro Xhoan Daxos. The Thirteen have spoken."
"I am one of the Thirteen, and I am still speaking." Xaro points out that letting her and her Dothraki in would not be a bad thing as he is a savage of the Summer Isles who stands as a Thirteen and Qarth is still standing. Daenerys looks at Xaro as a potential ally.
The Spice King won't hear anymore "Our decision is Final." Xaro turns to Daenerys and than back to the Spice King.
"Very well. I invoke soumai." The Thirteen react with shock as they look between themselves. Xaro draws his dagger, pointing downwards and grabs the blade with his left hand. Daenerys looks to Jorah for council than back to Xaro as he speaks.
"I will vouch for her people, and her dragons, in accordance with the law." Xaro pulls the dagger up slicing his palm deeply. he than displays it to the other member's.
The Spice King looks with angry on his face "Be it on your Head Xaro."
Xaro gesture a welcome to Daenerys and her Khalasar as the gates of Qarth open the Thirteen walk in and than Xaro, Daenerys and Jorah along with the Khalasar.
"Welcome to Qarth, My Lady."

Chapter 2 : Garden of Bones,Warlocks and Betrayal Part 2
"Welcome to Qarth, My Lady."
Qarth was a beautiful city, surrounded by three thick walls of thirty, forty and fifty feet in height. They are engraved with portraits of animals, war and lovemaking. The Triple Walls of Qarth are one of the Nine Wonders made by man in the book, Wonders Made by Man, by Lomas Longstrider. Qarth port is the of the greatest in the known world. The city buildings are colorful, with bronze arch fashioned in the likeness of two snakes mating,their scales delicate flakes of jade, obsidian, and lapis lazuli. Slim Towers stand tall and elaborate fountains fill every square, wrought in the shape of griffins and dragons along with manticores, the houses have frail and delicate balconies. Great statues of heroes of Qarth stands three times the size of men. The Pure-blood of Qarth rule from the Halls of a Thousand Thrones, The warlocks have their center of power in the House of the Undying, the city is home to other places like the Temple of Memory were traditional sacrifices are made, the Gardens of Gehane, and Warlock's Way.
Xaro Xhoan Daxos is palace includes garden's, a marble bathing pool, a scrying tower, and warlock's maze. Next to his palace is a cavernous building home to a 's of gaily colored birds live on the latticework ceiling and on the terraced walls above the stalls, trees and flowers bloom. On the other side of the Bazaar is the Hall of a Thousand Thrones.
In Xaro's Palace Daenerys's and Doreah are on a balcony with Drogon, Rhaego sleeps in a crib that was placed in the room for him the fleshy colored scales on his back peeking out from under the light blanket he wore. Irri is beside him on the bench that sat at the bottom of the bed.
"Dracarys. Dracarys." Daenerys said in Valyrian to Drogon. As Doreah stood next to her watching with a great smile.
Drogon suddenly spits out a small flame which cooks the raw meat in front of him. The girls smile and laugh happily applauding Drogon as he eats."He'll be able to feed himself from now on." Daenerys says happy that their dragons won't go hungry.
Doreah begins to reach for Drogon "Let him sleep, Doreah."
"Yes, Khaleesi" Doreah say to Daenerys as Drogon climbs into her hands.
This amused Daenerys greatly that Drogon would climb willing into Doreah's hands "He loves you."
Irri has finished what she was doing as Daenerys goes to Rhaego's crib as he begins to awakening "I rewove this part of the top. And I fixed the heel on this one." Daenerys looked at the work her friend had done as she holds his little hand he slightly wiggles for the attention of his mother.
"Did you see the dress Xaro had made for you? They say he's the wealthiest man in Qarth." Doreah gossiped to Daenerys.
Irri is irritated by Doreah but she can't disagree with her on this statement "It is known."
Doreah continues " And if Qarth is the wealthiest city in Essos."
Daenerys looked at Rhaego with a distanced look "The last time a rich man gave me a dress, he was selling me to Khal Drogo."
Irri looked sad that her Khaleesi "(In Dothraki) May he ride forever through the Night Lands." Daenerys nodded at Irri's Statement.
Rhaego is small for his age only a month born, his hair and eyes are Valyrian silvery white blonde hair and lavender colored eyes, his skin is lighter than Drogo almost like Daenerys's with the paler tone scales on his back but will darken overtime. Daenerys known she won't get another chance if he dies again she will protect him from those who will hurt him. Even if she could bring him back she wouldn't be able to handled losing him again. Rhaego Fireborn born again from the flames of his fathers pyre he will not have her life Daenerys will make sure he grown ups strong and kind like a prince should be like her brother Rhaegar loved by all.
Daenerys smiles as Rhaego warps his hand around her's."Xaro is our host, but we know not about him. Men like to talk about other men when they're happy"
Daenerys says as she looks at Doreah with a smile on her lips." You would look like a real princess in Xaro's" Doreah giggles as she think about her Khaleesi in the dress.
Irri is not happy with how Doreah speaks about Daenerys"She not Princess, she a Khaleesi. You should wear it Khaleesi." A quiet moment passes awkwardly, than Irri say that it would be rude to not wear the gown that Xaro's had made and leave Doreah, Daenerys and Rhaego.
Some time Later at the elegant garden party
Daenerys mingles with other guests at the party
"And you must visit the night market. The Qartheen night market is like no night market you've ever seen." a woman gushes at Daenerys.
"It sounds wonderful." Daenerys smiles at the woman as she looks around the garden the woman gushes more about the Meereenis night market and invites Daenerys to come with her.
Daenerys has spotted Jorah and two Dothraki Malakko and Kovarro and decides to go see what they are talking about "Please excuse me for a moment."
Jorah stands with Malakko and Kovarro talking in Dothraki about something she couldn't hear "What are they doing?" Daenerys is confused and curious.
Jorah turns his head towards her "Malakko says the statue is too heavy to carry. Kovarro says that Malakko is a fool. They can pry out the gems, the rest is pure gold. Very soft. He can chop off as much as we can carry."
Kovarro jumps in to the conversation "(In Dothraki) Or melt it. Very simple."
Daenerys is shocked that her men are trying to rob from their host. "We are his guests! You can't pry, chop or melt it!"
"(In Dothraki) Of course not, Khaleesi! We will wait until we leave." Daenerys shake her head telling them not they will not steal from Xaro even when they leave. Malakko and Kovarro leave but not before Kovarro steals a gold goblet as he leaves.
"My brother used to say the only thing the Dothraki know how to due was steal things better men have built." Daenerys said watching them leave.
"It's not the only thing. They're quite good at killing better men." Jorah told her as they stood there together.
"That's not the kind of Queen I'm going to be." Daenerys said proudly knowing she didn't want to be that kind of person.
At the party a tall and skinny figure moves towards Daenerys and her knight.
"Mother of Dragons. On behalf of the Warlocks of Qarth, I welcome you. A demonstration?"
The man offers his hand and Daenerys takes it. He places a gem in her palm. "Take this gem. Look at it. Into its depths. So many facets. Look closely, enough that you can see yourself in them. Often more than one."
The Warlock looks over his shoulder to his own doppelganger, who stands motionless. The crowd around them gasps with wonder and awe." Should you grown tired of Xaro's baubles and trinkets, it would be an honor to host you at the House of the Undying. You are always welcome, Mother of Dragons." The double of the Warlock and him both walk away leaving the crowd cheering at the illusion. Xaro comes over to Daenerys and Jorah from the crowd.
"My apologies. Pyatt Pree is one of the Thirteen. It was customary for me to extend him a invitation. Customs die slow deaths in Qarth." Xaro's bow slightly to her.
Daenerys ponder on the House of the Undying "What is the House of the Undying?" looking to Xaro for answers.
"It's where the warlocks go to squint at dusty books and drink shade of the evening. It turns their lips blue and their minds soft. So soft, they actually believe their parlor tricks are magic" Xaro answered as he and Daenerys walk away from Jorah. Jorah watches as his Khaleesi walk way but as he watched a voice pulled his attention away from her. He turned as head to the side to see a masked woman side at his side.
"You watch over them." the masked woman said while watching the Targaryen Khaleesi walk with Xaro. Jorah look at her with confusion.
"Do I know you?" he watched her waiting for her her answer.
"I know you. Jorah Mormont of Bear Island." She gave him a side look. This got his attention more that she know he was and where is was from.
"Who are you?" Jorah couldn't figure out her out what was she after and what was her point.
"I'm no one. But she is the Mother of Dragons and he is the Dragon Prince reborn from Fire. They need true protectors, now more than ever. They shall come day and night to see the wonders born in the world again. And when they see, they shall lust, for dragons are fire made flesh. And fire is power." She fully turned to face him as she gave a warning and than leaves.
Daenerys and Xaro walk together talking about Jorah and he love for her, to which Daenerys disagrees with. Xaro's says that men are easy to read and women are more complicated. They speak of her wishes to conquer the seven kingdoms for her people he say that not why which she agrees. Daenerys say that the seven kingdoms are her and she want them back for her and for Rhaego. Xaro asks Daenerys to marry him and he would give her the seven kingdoms. He also tell her the time to conquer is now and that Robert Baratheon is dead and war is started. Daenerys ponders on everything said and go to her chambers and speaks with Jorah.
"If you cross the sea with and army you bought and a foreign husband who paid for it..."
"The Seven Kingdoms are at war with one another. Four false kings destroying the country." Daenerys argues back.
"To win Westeros, you need support from Westeros." Jorah tries to make her see reason.
"The Usurper is dead. The Stark's fight the Lannisters, and the Baratheon fight each other." Daenerys is fuming at Jorah. He believes she should wait and go the hard way and that Xaro is trying to control her but she doesn't want to hear it but Jorah is determined to make her hear him.
"You have a good claim. A title. A birthright. But you have something more than that. You may cover it up and deny it, but you have a gentle heart. You would not only be respected and feared, you would be loved. Someone who can rule and should rule. Centuries come and go without a person like that coming into the world. There are times when I look at you and I still can't believe you're." Jorah tells her with hopefully eyes.
Daenerys doesn't know what to due. "So what would you have me do, as my adviser?"
"Make your own way. Find your own ship. You only need one. The allies we need are in Westeros, not Qarth" Jorah stated agreeing to go find her a sound ship and a good captain. Daenerys agrees to let him..
Later
Daenerys meet with the Spice King to try to get ships and he refuses and leaves her insulted and angry. She than goes to the Silk King who refuses to offend the Lannisters one of his best customers, and the Copper King only offered one ship and only if Daenerys would lay with him for a night like some whore. Xaro tries to get her to agree to marry him so she can have the money in his vault and get the Seven Kingdoms but she doesn't want to listen. As they get to Xaro's Palace they find bodies all over the courtyard Daenerys looks all over before she runs off in a panic. Bells toll as she runs to her chambers with Kovarro and Xaro following behind her.
She runs up the stairs to find Irri laying on the floor slain Daenerys run over to her as she looks around for her son and their dragons but both are gone.
"Where are they? Rhaego and our dragons. WHERE ARE THEY?!"
Xaro calls the Thirteen for a meeting stating that one of them had to have taking her dragons and her son, She quickly turn that statement on him and accused him of taking her son and they dragons. He denies it and again goes to tell her where he has been, Daenerys is getting tried of hearing where he has been and goes up stairs. Xaro tries to follow but is stopped by Malakko.
Jorah soon returns and get filled in with what has transpired while he was away finding a ship. Irri dead, Doreah is missing but believed dead. Rhaego taken and so are their dragons. Jorah is sad by her pushing him away.
"Forgive me, Khaleesi. No one can survive in this world without help. No one. Let me help you, please. Tell me how." Jorah begged her
"Find my Son, Find my Dragons." Daenerys said with tears in her eyes as she looks at the empty crib where her son would sleep.
In the Qarth Gardens
Jorah comes to the masked woman hoping for answers of where the Prince is and where is Daenerys dragons. She is painting the back of a man with symbols in blood.
"Jorah the Andal. This man must sail past old Valyria. All who travel too close to the doom must have protection."
"I didn't come here for lessons" Jorah was annoyed the more time goes by the longer Daenerys is going to get more unstable Rhaego is missing that is the biggest problem of all.
"No, you came for dragons." She said with a slight tilt of her head she should say the Prince to but is he not a dragon to with the scales on his back and the rebirth in the fire. He is a dragon.
"You have them? Where are they?" Jorah has hope that the prince is with the dragon. He would find them even if he has to kill to do it.
"Draw you sword. See what your steel is worth. You want to please the Mother of Dragons." Jorah doesn't answer. She returns painting the mans back.
"You love her." Jorah don't have time for her games.
"Where are they?" She looks at him than back to her work."Will you betray her again?" she waits for his answer but he remains silent.
"Will you?" Jorah looks at her and exhales the breath he didn't know he was holding.
"Never" It was the truth he would never betray her ever again she was his world. "The Thief you seek is with her now" the masked woman said before she again started in on the man's back. Jorah quickly took off after hearing that the traitor is with the Khaleesi he takes off to protect her.
Daenerys stand in front of the Thirteen and pleads for her son's return and their dragons. The Spice King is insulted by her accusing him of stealing the dragons and her son. She tell them that the dragons will die with her and that her son is innocent and not to take him from his mother. Pyatt Pree the warlock from the party agrees with her and tells her that he will return her to them. Daenerys asks him how he can do that. He said that they are at the House of the Undying where he put them, She asks him why and he says that he made arrangements with the King of Qarth which confused all there do to there not being a King. Xaro stands up with Pyatt Pree introduces him. Pyatt Pree makes doppelgangers and they slit the throats of the other Thirteen. Daenerys stand horrified but quickly flees. But she run into a other clone, Kovarro comes to her side to defend her, but Jorah stabs Pyatt Pree from behind.
"A mother should be with her children." Pyatt's clone say before he disappears into nothing but a pile of clothes. But another one appears.
"Where will you run to, Daenerys Stormborn? Your son and dragons wait for you in the House of the Undying. Come see them"
Daenerys, Jorah and Kovarro leave the area. Daenerys is furies she was not going to go anywhere without her children. A mother doesn't leave her children. Despite Jorah not agreeing with the plan, he agrees and they head off to get back her children from the House of the Undying.
Daenerys and the others enter the House of the Undying and go up the stairs to find no door, as they turn around Daenerys disappears from Jorah's side. She appears in a dark room with a torch hanging on the wall. Picking up the torch she begins walking towards the direction she hears her dragon hoping that Rhaego is in facted with them. Vision after vision appears before her of a great hall destroyed and covered in snow to a snow covered wasteland with a single tent in the tent was Drogo but she couldn't stay with him, she had to find Rhaego and their dragons.
Soon she finds them chained up together in a room a crib on the side of the room where she can hear Rhaego begin to cry for her, which only makes her heartbreak for not be here sooner. Pyatt Pree than appear behind her along with two other clones watching. He says they miss her, that they need her. Pyatt tells Daenerys that when her dragon were born again that magic was also born again and that the close to the dragons the more powerful magic is and the closer Daenerys is to the dragon the more powerful there are. Suddenly the sound of chains turning to her right starts, Daenerys soon finds herself chained. Pyatt tightens the chains that bind her. The other Pyatt pulls on a chain now attached to her other wrist, her arm outstretched and straining.
"Welcome home, Daenerys Stormborn." -Pyatt
"This is not my home. Our home is across the sea, where my people are waiting for us." - Daenerys
"They will be waiting a long time."- Pyatt
Daenerys turns to look at her dragons. Pyatt peers down at them as Daenerys than turns back to look at the Warlock.
"Dracarys." Daenerys said calmly as her dragon begin to breath smoke. One spurts out a burp of fire which catches Pyatt's sleeve, and he starts to panic. All three dragon begin spiting fire, past Daenerys. Pyatt screams in horror as he is consumed by the flames. Daenerys looks to the crib with Rhaego in it as her chains break. Daenerys goes to Rhaego with her dragons sitting on her shoulders and cradles him in her arms smiling down at him as he stops crying the moment she pick him up.
"I'm so sorry my little prince, I got here as soon as I could." She looked at her son with pure love, Rhaegal has moved down to her forearm where Rhaego's feet are as she moves out of the room and back to Jorah and Kovarro.
Xaro's Palace
Daenerys has returned to the palace, placed the dragons back in their cages and holds Rhaego as they move to Xaro's the Bedchambers of Xaro who is sleeping Daenerys, Jorah and the Dothraki find someone they thought dead as they stand over Xaro's bed. A curved sword hooks his amulet and steals it away causing Xaro to awakening and sits up to see what is happening.
"What the..." Xaro starts to say before he quiets, Doreah sit up at Xaro voice.
"Khaleesi, please. He said you'd never leave Qarth alive." Doreah beg as she see Daenerys standing there with Prince Rhaego in her arms.
"Come.' With that Daenerys turn and walks away from them
Following their Khaleesi and prince the Dothraki lead Xaro and Doreah to Xaro's vault, Kovarro uses the amulet to open the vault door. Jorah steps in to help open it. Daenerys enters to find it empty, she turns and looks at Xaro and Doreah as the Dothraki man push them into the vault.
"I am King of Qarth. I can help you now, truly help you. We can take the Iron Throne. I'll bring you a thousand ships." Xaro begged to Daenerys.
"Please, Khaleesi. I beg you." Doreah begs for mercy. She who betrayed Daenerys and her son. That is not going to happen. Daenerys turns to the door and walks out as the Dothraki close the door to the vault on the pair as they beg. Jorah locks the door and hands the amulet key to Daenerys. She than orders them to loot the palace for treasure to buy a ship as she walks away lovingly with her son safe in her arms.
Notes:
A/N: Thanks for reading it may have got rushed at the end due to me not wanting to due a lot of chapter that would be pretty much Daenerys story from the series I want to get a base of how thing are with Rhaego there but I want to get to him as a person not a baby so I will be doing a time-skip in the next chapters to get to Meereen cause he will be about 4-5 yrs old and we can get a little more of his childhood. So we can get closer to teenage Rhaego.
All Right well I have to go to bed now cause sadly I have to go to work for a living and not be homeless.

Chapter Text
Chapter 3: A Targaryen Alone in the World is a Terrible Fate
Meereen 10 years after the Battle of King's Landing
Meereen the greatest city in The Bay of Dragons (Formerly known as Slaver's Bay), The three Great Pyramids now topped with great statues of Viserion , Rhaegal and on the biggest pyramid and Rhaego's home Drogon. His brothers forever standing guard of this city for the last 5 years. In the city center is the giant beautiful Statue of the Breaker of Chains, The Mother of Dragons, Queen Daenerys Stormborn of House Targaryen.
"Mother" Rhaego whispered with sadness filling his lavender eyes as his looked down at the Giant Statue that could be about size of the smallest pyramid
Rhaego King of the Bay of Dragon's now 18 and has grown into a very handsome young man. Rhaego has long braided Valyrian Sliver blonde hair with black roots, his lavender purple eyes harden almost distance from all the he has lost, his skin is pale cooper also like his father, Rhaego has a slim but muscular build from the years of training. He is not tall like his father only 5'10.
As the Young King stands staring at his mother statue a man who has been like a father to him after he was smuggled out of Westeros in the dead of night after the Great Council decide his fate which would be to go North with Queen Sansa to live out his days with his arranged marriage to Erena Glover when they get older. Daario puts his hand on Rhaego shoulder.
"I miss her too...I should have done more to stop her I should have go..."Rhaego interrupting Daario mid-sentence.
"No one could have stopped her. Had you gone you could have died too." Rhaego looked at him before turn back to the Statue of his mother as he sighs. Rhaego turns and walks into the massive room of his in silence. Daario watches him go giving His queen a last look before going to his King's side.
"The Bay of Dragon's is stable for now Volantis has return to their city after the last battle with them at the Black Cliff. So, we shouldn't have to worry about them for a while." Daario said hopeful for some peace for a bit. Since Queen Daenerys death and Rhaego's return to Meereen, Volantis has launched many attacks against them over the last 10 years. The Triarch of Volantis hated Daenerys and her sons and want nothing more than to kill Rhaego now that she was dead and her last dragon Drogon hasn't been seen near Meereen since Dany left 10 years ago.
Daario sits at the in on chair in front of Rhaego's desk ponders what Daario says as he to takes a sit at his desk. Daario watches him with awe "The little Dragon prince sure has grown into a great man. Daenerys would be very proud of him."
Even after all that happened over in Westeros Rhaego has grown into a strong and good king. In every battle he was on the front-lines with the Dothraki and their new army in Meereen which were former slaves and citizens who have seen the vision of the Dragon Queen and know that Rhaego is the one true king. Rhaego has won battle after battle against all odds with just his army. Without a dragon he doesn't have the fear of the people like his mother did. He alone must show the world that House Targaryen is still very much alive.
Still Rhaego wonders what happened to his mother body and to Drogon after he took off with her after Jon killed her. But Rhaego was 8 when his mother was killed by the hands of her lover and nephew Jon.
Jon or should we say Aegon killed her after she burned King's landing to the ground, Rhaego knows that what she did that day wasn't her but he believes that killing her wasn't right either even now he can't figure out why she did it, was it the madness of the Targaryen's or something else. Rhaego had liked Jon, he could have been truly a part of their family had things gone the ways it should have but this was not a story it was real life no happy ends for Daenerys and there would most likely be no happy ending for Rhaego either. As Aemon said "A Targaryen alone in the world is a terrible thing."
With Jon exiled north to the Night's Watch to lives his days unwed, childless, guarding the realm from no one knows as the Night King is 10 years dead thanks to Arya the Hero of Winterfell, Rhaego is truly alone 10 years with only his mother former lover or Red Priestess and a horde of Dothraki telling him what he should do how he should act. Daario tries to make it feel like a family that he is normal but the statues of his mother and brother forever remind him that he isn't some kid of the common family his is the last hope of House Targaryen and the only hope for Essos being free. With all that pressure on his shoulders it was only a matter of time till he fails his mother's dream and his people and loses this war.
"The Triarch will not be undone so easily. They want my head they will come again and again till they claim it." Rhaego said with a serious but also sorrowful expression. Daario sighed and looked out the doorway to the balcony.
"I know the pressure you are under but needed I remind you to smile for the celebration, the people see this victory as a great sign that peace is on the horizon. And last I checked no one can truly see the future maybe the Triarch will send a beautiful bride for you.
Rhaego laughed at Daario "They will not let their precious blood mix with my traitor blood." a knock at Rhaego's door rang throughout the room.
"Come in" Daario said mid laughter. Daario's laughter soon dies as in walked the other semi parental figure Kinvara the High Priestess of Volantis. Daario has grown to dislike the woman who has done nothing to stop the war, or as she says R'hllor's will.
"My glorious King you are a wonder to be seen, the people worship and cheer for you and your victories. Shall your grace give the people the honor of seeing their king." Kinvara smiled at Rhaego ignoring Daario's glares. Rhaego looked between them and nodded his head.
"I guess I shouldn't keep the people waiting for the celebration." Rhaego got up and head out with Kinvara and Daario close behind.
As The Bay of Dragons celebrates their victory farer west of Meereen, a beautiful girl stands on a balcony overlooking the 200-foot black walls of Volantis and out beyond in the direction of Meereen
A slave girl walks towards the beauty "My lady the lord father summons you to the meeting of the Triarch's families." The slave bows as the young girl sighs.
The beauty in question is the picture of a great Valyrian beauty long sliver blonde hair, pale skin that aluminates in the moonlight and the brightest violet's eyes that held a wisdom beyond her age. She watches the horizon for a moment than turns her head to the direction to old Valyria watching hoping to see the flames of the Fourteen like she has seen in her dreams many nights now.
"The future of this city and the fate of the Dragon King have already been decided, I have seen the signs the fourteen shall erupt and the ash shall rise into a great beast. Only the Dragon King can make this true, those old men will not undo him. It's time for the Volantis to change." with that the young lady turns from the balcony to head to the main hall.
South in the very heart of the ancient ruins of the once great empire of the dragon lords the flames of the fourteen sparks life.

Trianna make her mind up and we see Volantis in-fighting at a garden party and Rhaego see a great beast!!

Chapter Text
In Volantis months after the battle on the Black Cliffs with King Rhaego
On the black wall of Volantis stands a beautiful young woman with long sliver blonde hair and bright purple eyes in purple sapphires looking out from the city into the horizon towards the Bay of Dragons to Meereen. She had a dreamy far-off look "it's been 10 years since the famous Mother of Dragons dead after she went "mad" and burned King's Landing to the ground. I remember when the news reached the great old city of Volantis like it was yesterday, I was only 6 years old at the times and I have never heard Volantis so quiet as the word spread through the city. Beyond the Black walls the city of the old bloods roared into laughter, the slave masters cheered for the death of the Dragon Queen but the slaves oh the poor slaves. The silence cries of the slaves that day most of my status don't notice them, but I do I saw the light of hope that had grown as the Mother of dragon got closer to the old Volantis the hope of freedom of a better life for their children for themselves. It died that day their queen and her dragons gone only one the largest black one lived somewhere."
"My Lady, the party with all the family is starting soon we need to get you dressed and ready you will be late.!" Serella whispered to her lady.
The beautiful young Valyrian woman Trianna lets out a sigh without looking away from the direction of the Dragon king's home. With one last look she turns from the wall and begins to head back to her home to get ready for the party which she is sure will used to call a vote of war against the King Rhaego.
"I wish they would stop it's making Volantis the laughingstock of Essos. They can't understand that they need to bow to him not kill him." Trianna sighed again Serella looked at her lady with worried.
"Rarely do those with power be willing to bow to another when they believe they are the ones who should rule. You know the truth we will help the King like you say!" Serella whispered trying to make sure no one heard.
They continued on and after a 30-minute ride through the streets of the city of old blood they came to her residents and is met with her father a current member of the Triarch of Volantis Belicho Staegone, he is a handsome man of 42 years old with Pale gold hair and dark violet eyes she is a little on the plump side now that he was made a member of the Triarch 10-year earlier. "My little star! Where have you been?" Belicho asked worried for his little star has been distance as of late and it worries him greatly.
"Do not fret father. I was only at the wall getting some air." Trianna smiled softly at her father he was a calm and kind man well as kind as you can be as a slave owner, but he didn't care for them made sure they weren't beating and that they family stay together.
"You know I don't like it when you go out you are too popular with the other families! You know the other woman are all jealous and would do anything to be rid of you." Father said quickly and quietly.
"Now go quick now get dress its already on your bed! go, go!" He rushed Trianna off quickly to her chambers.
Trianna returns swiftly as swiftly as an hour can be from her chambers dressed and ready, she wore a long sleeve dress of white Myrish Lace over a thin strapped light purple silk dress with her long wavy hair falling free expect for the single braids on each side of her head pulled pinned in the back. she wore no necklace but had purple sapphires earrings to match her eyes.
"My sweet little star, yo...you are a Valyrian goddess I am truly honored to be your father." Belicho said tender and loving. If his Moon was here, she would agree and then they would make more! But she was gone to back to the night sky, and he was all that stood to protect their Star.
A 30 min ride and they get to the party fashionable late. The Staegone's arrival was meet with excitement as Trianna was true to her father word desire by all the families even those one the side of the Tigers.
Trianna after welcome and small talk she moves away from the party to be alone she sits and look out at the dark spot on the horizon Valyria. "Grow once more flame in the dark and on to him the king shall mount the whole and bring true end of the cold and dark." She says to herself and sighs "If only it had been the dragon queen that slay that so called Night King than maybe the world wouldn't be heading where it is heading."
The evening continues boring till Tigers calls everyone together "Families of the Old Blood of Valyria, tonight is the night we make final plans for this so call King of Dragons! We are the true blood not that Targaryen Begger prince now call "'king". We will hire all the sellswords and companies we will send the unsullied and all the pirates we can at this pretender!" The Tiger all cheered they who always want to put thing to the sword many families whispered to each other, but the cheers and whispers stopped when Belicho step forward and became to speak.
"Cousins war with Rhaego Targaryen has done nothing but cost us our pride and coin now you want to spend more so much more for all of these swords and to what end why would they want to go against him. He has defected everything you have sent after him since he was a child. Never has he lose a battle the slaves he freed worship him like a god and the Dothraki know him as the Khal of Khal's the Stallion who would mount the world. Do not waste more coin to see the dragon prince dead. Let's us seek another path one where we could try to bring peace back.!" Belicho Staegone said with hope in his dark violet eyes as he looked out among the families.
"HA! You think peace is the way all of you Elephants are weak! Belicho the only good thing about you is your pretty daughter." One of the members of the Tigers spoke and the other members laughed with him.
Trianna watches the families of the Old Blood of Volantis laugh and many begin to argue with the other. Many want Rhaego dead but not if it is going to take all their wealth and pride to do it. She looks from the crowd to the horizon again to old Valyria and sighs.
"I must end this war now before hope is gone. I can't stay here no I must go to Meereen to King Rhaego and tell him of my dreams. Yes, that is what must be done for not just Volantis but for the world." She thinks as she held the horizon in her sights one last time before she turns and goes to her father's side than a flash of green appears and disappears just as quickly.
Meereen (same night)
Meereen has been in a state of celebration since the battle on the Black Cliffs near the Demons Road. Rhaego has grown tired of the parties and sits at his desk in his room at the top of the largest pyramid. He looks out the doors to the balcony and stares at the horizon towards Valyria when he sees a bright green flash on edge of the sea.
He blinks for a moment and gets up from his chair and goes to the balcony and stands with his hand on the stone and looks out at the spot on the horizon again only to see nothing. Just as his shakes his head and starts to turn there was another flash of bright green light Rhaego stop with one hand on the stone the other by his side he watches the light, but it doesn't go out it gets larger and closer. Suddenly Rhaego watches as the ground zooms around him, and he isn't on the balcony of his room but in the middle a ruin and back away letting go of the wall.
He turns quickly around in all directions quickly to figure out where he is and what the bloody hells is happening.
*rumbling *
The ground shakes and fiery sprinters erupt around him he closes his eyes in the hopes that when he opens them again he is back in Meereen as suddenly the shaking get worse and worse but then in a single moment all of it stops and Rhaego opens his eyes believing he is back on the balcony but no his still in the black ruins he breaths in heavily and looks around trying to figure out where he is could be. As he looks, he starts to see the ashes that cover the ground move toward him, but they continue behind him and start to form in something big very big, bigger than Drogon was to his mother the last time he saw them. Ashes grown and grown into something black as coal when everything stops and the ashes' part right next to him in what is a large menacing green eye the size of him. Rhaego jerks back and falls though the open balcony doors and he is now back in Meereen the green eye is gone and he is breathing desperately for air.
Rhaego sat there for what felt like hours staring out at the balcony where the eye had been. Confusion was all over Rhaego's face when he final got up and went to the mirror as he looked in the at his reflection, he saw a tired young man and he let out another sigh.
"Rhaego get ahold of yourself. Maybe I have been stressed for too long and do need to relax." Rhaego laughs to himself as he throws water on his face and then dries it with a cloth. It is time for bed.
Out in the Ruin of Valyria the Fourteen Flames sparks again and with it a loud monstrous roar sounds in the heart of Valyria. Green flames shoot up from the blackened ruins in the darkness.
