Dragonstone

Arthur and Ariana were standing in the Port, the Men were preparing to leave, carrying supplies on Board. Megin was the Capital Ship of Classis Exsilius, the one that brought him to Valyria and the one who will sail him to War.

"Arthur! The Preparations are Finished! It's Time!"

Arthur turned to Ariana and looked directly into her Eyes.

"It's time, My Love."

"Be careful."

"The one that should be careful is them."

"Don't try me with that Bullshit."

"Of course, My Love. I will be careful."

Arthur held Ariana's chin, and lifted her face up.

"I Love You."

"I Love You Too."

Arthur kissed Ariana's Lips Passionately.

"I Promise You, the War will be over before our child is Born."

Arthur kissed her one last time, turned. around and went into the Ship. Tears were falling out of Ariana's eyes, although he promised her that he would return, War is War. It was Bloody. And many men will Die. He was Death's Emissary, but it still worried Her that He would not Return.

Arthur looked behind the ship as it sailed out of the Port. He kissed his Palm and waved at Ariana, she did the same thing. Arthur continued to look at Exsilium until the island was nowhere in sight.

"Hoist The Colours!!"

""Hoist The Colours!!""

The Banner of Rome was Raised High, The Red Background was replaced with a Purple one. Signifying that the Emperor was on Board, and that the Ship was the Capital.

"Send the Scouts ahead, Diamond Formation. Us at the Center along with the Supply Ships."

"As you Command, My Lord."

"So, Arthur. Did you send a Raven to Stark? If you Didn't, he may think that your words were False."

"I've already sent a Letter to Him, He'll write back soon enough."

----------

"My Lord, Dragonstone is in sight."

"Good, Drop Anchor, and Summon my Advisors and Legate Augustus Here."

Arthur waited in his Solar for Raganvad and the Others, the wait was quite long as they were in other Ships, so in case they were Ambushed or Attacked, they wouldn't be in one Ship.

(And not like in the pathetic excuse of a Final Season)

They finally arrived one by one, It was early in the Morning and they were probably waken up.

"It's early in the Morning and were doing this? Have you got any Mercy upon us, 'Oh Great Lord?'"

"Shut up, Calisto. This is Serious."

"Okay, Okay."

"So, Dragonstone is in sight. How do we Raid it?"

"They don't think we are they're enemy, Sure the news will Travel along Westeros but it will not be quick considering we haven't made any Attacks yet."

"Hmm, My Spies have also told me that there hadn't been any Mentions of us Allying with the Rebels."

"So first, We sail into Dragonstone, A White Banner signifying we are not Attacking, when we land we Pretend that we are Allies, Siding with The King to take Revenge on the Starks because they Exiled me. I will ask for some of us to Land and if they agree we try to organize a Feast, once Night come and they are Celebrating we Loot their Supplies and Take their Ships, we may even Kill them if they are THAT Drunk."

"Hmmm, but they wouldn't trust you that quick no?"

"Yes, We will only have about 50 Men land Ashore, the rest will follow with a Signal. And tell the Men that will come with us, that we are here to Ally with them, so when they ask the Men, they will Lie with absolute perfection because, They are 'Telling' the Truth."

"Is it decided?"

""It is.""

All of them agreed with the Plan, it was a good plan and was quite Easy to pull off, the only thing they have to do is keep the Secret until the Last moment.

----------

The men rowed in the small Boat, they were carrying a White Flag. Along sith him were the Captain of his Kingsguard, Ares. And 50 Praetorian Guards, The only one who knew about the plan wer Him and Ares, and both of them are good Liars.

They reached the Shore and they were met by about 50 Men also, Among them were the Castellan of Dragonstone, A man named Willem Darkhair.

"Halt! State your purpose."

Arthur stepped forward and Presented himself.

"I am Arthur Godfrey! Ruler of Exsilium! I have come here to Pledge my Allegiance to King Aerys! In order to take Revenge on Eddard Stark! His damned family Exiled me! I will go to Kings Landing after a Day!"

"How do i know your not Lying, Pretty Boy!?"

Arthur didn't like that comment one bit, From first impressions, This man was Arrogant.

"Men! Drop your Weapons! And bring the Gold!"

The men dropped their weapons to the ground, although Ares was a bit Hesitant. Two of the Men took a Chest in the Boat and presented it to the Castellan.

"This is a Gift, To King Aerys. A gift of gratitude, a Thank you for Letting me into his Service, and a Chance for getting revenge on the Starks!"

The Castellan looked into Arthur's eyes for a while, until he Spoke.

"Welcome to Dragonstone, Friend. Here you'll find True Men that serves the King and the Crown Prince. You can Keep your Weapons, So that you even have a Minimal chance of Fighting us."

The last part was spoken under his Breath but Arthur heard Clearly, He Hated many Men in this world, one of them was Arrogant People.
