Return To The North

[Molestown, The North]

(Rhaegon's POV)

"It is too fucking cold...." Tyene complained as I heard Morghul's rumbling behind me

"I told you it was going to be cold." I said as I walked in front of the three, "Come, let's get some heat inside the inn." 

We were in Molestown, the last stop before reaching Castle Black. I wanted to keep going but the three were complaining about the cold air hitting their faces too much as we flew, they kept telling me to slow down. 

As I walked up the steps to the inn of the town, I heard Nymeria's grinding her teeth as she blew raspberries. 

"Why are we here anyways?" She asked

"We can get a barrel of some mead." I said as I opened the door and walked in, "I'll give it to the brothers of the Night's Watch, I hear they occasionally come here to drink it but lately, they've been too busy." 

"Oh, some warmth..." Tyene said as she ran to a seat next to the fireplace

"What a whiny bitch." Obara said as she rubbed her arms, "Morghul is warm enough." 

"Shut up." Tyene said as she had her hands on the fireplace

I stood there and noticed a couple of northerners sitting on the tables, looking at us as I walked over to the bar counter. This was an Inn that acted as a tavern as well. 

"You...." The bartender said, "Was that fucking dragon I heard earlier?" 

I nodded, "Yea." I said, "Not a problem, isn't it?" 

"If you're Rhaegon Baratheon, then no." He said as he wiped the counter with a rag

"Well, I guess there ain't." I said with a chuckle, "How much for a barrel of mead? The one that the Castle Black lackeys drink." 

"Hm, two gold dragons." He said

I whistled, "Okay then." I said pulling out the coins from my my pocket, "Fine." 

I set the coins down and he grabbed them, "I'll bring it right out, I can cook you and the ladies something to eat if you wish, 2 silver dragons each." 

"Hm." I said as I turned to look back at the others, huddled up next to the fireplace, "I don't know....we're going to Castle Bl-" 

I stopped, freezing in mid-sentence, catching a glimpse of a familiar face. 

In the corner of the room, a woman sat, dark black hair with emerald green eyes similar to the Queen's. She had a slight smile on her face as she looked at me, a bit of lust in her eyes. 

I knew her; she's the one from back then, during the Greyjoy Rebellion. The one that...

"Ser?" the barkeep said, "Do you want me to cook something up?"

"N-No...." I said as I cleared my throat, "Just the barrel, that's all. This mead better be worth that much." 

"It is, for the Night's Watch brothers, that is." He said as he walked to the back door

"Well that's who it's for." I said as I nodded

 I then felt a hand touch my arm and I jumped up slightly, turning to see Nymeria who frowned. 

"What's wrong?" She chuckled, "We're hungry."

I shook my head, "Nothing...." I said as I looked down, "We'll get the mead and head to Castle Black, we'll have the cooks make you girls something." 

"O-Okay then." She said softly, "You alright?" 

I nodded, "Y-Yea..." I said as I glanced back at the woman

She was still gazing at me, almost as she recognized me and was scanning me up and down. It unsettled me, it really did. 

"You know that woman?" Nymeria asked

"No." I said as I looked back at the barkeep who was coming out with the large barrel slung over his shoulder, "We should go." 

"Here you go, Ser Rhaegon Baratheon." He said as he set it on the counter, "Pleasure doing business." 

I nodded as I picked it up and hauled it over my shoulder, "Have a good day." I said, "Let's go, Nymeria." 

Nymeria looked at her sisters as I hurriedly walked towards the door, "We're leaving." she said

"Already?" Tyene complained

"Castle Black will have it's hearth, let's go." I said, "Come on." 

*****************************************

Morghul let out a roar as we dismounted him, Tyene rolling the barrel down from the top as I caught it. 

My Dragon shook its head as it huffed air through his nostrils, looking around in alarm. 

"Take it easy, you'll stay here. Just rest. I'll have some fire ready for you." I said in high valyrian

As Tyene dropped to the ground, Morghul turned around and began to lay down, growling deeply. 

"He's unsettled." Obara said as she rubbed her hands, "Is he alright?" 

"Maybe it's the Wall." I said as I looked up at the massive structure, "I heard from Mother that the Dragons are unsettled by it. They can't cross it." 

"That is one big wall...." Tyene said in awe, "It's so fucking cold here..." 

"I would assume so." Nymeria said

"Let's go." I said as I began to walk over to the Gate

As I reached it, the slot opened and I saw the face of a man through it, "Holy shit, it's Rhaegon Baratheon...." He said, "Open the gates!!" 

A few seconds later, the gates opened and I was met with a couple of Men in black, their gazes passing me and set upon the girls behind me. 

I sighed, "Alright." I said walking up to the larger man, "Here." 

I tossed him the barrel of mead, which he was barely able to catch. 

"W-What the fu-" He started as he stumbled

"Mead." I said, "You're welcome. Also, keep your eyes and hands off my women, got that? I wish to speak to Maester Aemon. Now." 

One of the men walked up to me, he had slightly long hair and beard, "Maester Aemon is in the library, I'll take you there." He said

"Your name?" I asked

"Call me Ed." He said as he glanced at the Sand Snakes, "We don't usually see women at Castle Black." 

"Like I said, hands off." I said with a raised eyebrow

"Don't worry about me, it's these fucking idiots that should be told that." He gestured at the others who were already running to a nearby table to open the barrel up, "But with that Dragon outside, they'll listen to whatever you say." 

"Mhm." I said, "Okay, Ed, take me to Maester Aemon. And I would like to speak to Lord-Commander Jeor Mormont while I'm at it." 

He was turning around when he stopped and looked back at me, "You didn't hear?" He said

I raised an eyebrow, "What?" 

"Jeor Mormont is dead." He said seriously, 

"Jon Snow is Lord-Commander."
