Chapter 1 : Awaking of the Dragonwolf

Jon Snow

"Ice and fire, fire and blood, winter is coming," a voice hissed as he woke up, or at least he thought he did. "What was that?" He murmured, unclear about what was happening. "Ah, the dragonwolf of ice and fire has joined me finally. I have waited so long for you," a voice said with longing.

"What is going on, and where am I?" He said aloud, not knowing who or what he was speaking to.

"Oh, you are in a place still in shadow, a place where we can only speak. In your dreams, little dragonwolf. Aenar Targaryen is your name, I have long waited for you. Your parents named you well, after the one who listened and saved his family after I sent a certain daughter dreams, I needed you to come and be born again. Daenys, oh little Daenys the dreamer they call her now, if I'm correct? Yes?" the voice said, questioning him in the same sentences.

"Yes, they called her Daenys," Reading about the Targaryen it was an interest of his. Yet he still didn't know what the damn thing meant with him being Aenar. "I'm sorry but what the fuck are you talking about, with me being Aenar Targaryen. I'm Jon Snow a lowly bastard from the North." He growled out.

"Well, because you are. The song of ice and fire. Stark and Targaryen, the last of the ancient bloodlines left from a time long forgotten, only spoken of in legends of the past," the voice explained.

"I can tell you, Eddard Stark, my father, didn't lay with a Targaryen," He said defiantly.

"Foolish boy, who do you think your mother is?" the voice countered, leaving Jon momentarily speechless. "Oh, wait, you can't answer the question. Your suppose it father never told you, did he?" the voice continued mockingly.

"No, he hasn't. My father never told me anything about my mother," he said, his anger mixing with his confusion, and sadness, of never knowing the truth. The only true thing he ever wanted.

"Well, boy, if you want to know, go to your mother when you wake up. You will find her made of stone, where she is the only one among men. Your siblings will be waiting for you, so those damn Starks can stop speaking to you about not belonging there," the voice revealed, and everything faded to pitch blackness.

He woke up, covered in sweat, realizing it was still late at night. "What was that? That could have been real, and yet it felt so real. Could be though?" He had no idea. " Yet it or what spoke of his damn dreams of the crypt something he never told anyone before. What did it mean to find my mother made of stone? Alone among men?" He muttered to himself. He went to the crypt it was the only place he could find an answer if the dream was to be believed. As he walked, a thought crossed his mind—what if his mother had contracted greyscale and turned into a Stoneman? Would that explain why his father never spoke of her?

"It doesn't belong here, begone from here," the voices started hissing as he entered the crypts, closing the door behind him. The torches lining the walls provided dim illumination as he descended the stairs. Jon looked around as he reached the newest statues of the fallen Starks—Rickard, Brandon, and Lyanna Stark. At the sight of Lyanna's statue, his thoughts came to a halt.

"No," He said aloud, his voice filled with disbelief. "Nooo, it can't be her son!!! You will find your mother made of stone alone among men? Yes, that must be it, and my father, or rather, my uncle, must be the previous crown prince. But no, he raped her and kidnapped her. That was the story I was told all my life." He fell to his knees, overwhelmed by a flood of emotions.

"Mother," he choked out, his voice breaking with a sob. "I'm sorry for what happened to you." But was it even true? The voice claimed he was Aenar Targaryen, not a Sand or Waters, which would have been his name if he were a bastard. "Did you marry him, mother? Why did you do that?" He questioned the statue, desperately seeking answers. "Little brother has awoken from his sleep," two voices said in unison, half giggling. "Aenar, come find us, little brother," the voices beckoned.

As he listened to the voices, he realized they were coming from behind the statue of his mother. The thought felt foreign, but all his life, he had wondered who his mother was. And now he knew—Lyanna Stark was his mother, and Rhaegar his father. Either his mother was forced into a marriage or, he hoped, she went willingly with the Crown Prince. Perhaps they even loved each other. All the answers he sought, he hoped to find behind that statue. His father, or rather, his uncle, had some explaining to do.

He approached the statue and discovered another stone slab behind it, engraved with a winter rose. "A winter rose, the one Rhaegar Targaryen crowned Lyanna Stark, Queen of Love and Beauty, over his wife Elia Martell," He said, as he moved the stone. As the voices became clearer, he realized they were emanating from the inside.

Inside the hidden compartment lay a large chest that he couldn't lift, so he opened it to reveal four oval-shaped objects—all dragon eggs. A gasp escaped his lips at the sight of them. Each egg displayed different colors and patterns, emanating warmth as he touched them. Along the length of the statue lay a long object with a handle adorned with ornate dragon designs and a red ruby as its pommel. Jon recognized it as the ancestral greatsword of House Targaryen—Blackfyre. It wasn't as heavy as Ice or any other greatsword, but it held significance.

The sight was awe-inspiring, his eyes to in greedily the colors, and details of the eggs. One egg boasted a fiery red hue with stark black stripes, while another shimmered with shades of orange and red-yellow. The third egg displayed regal purple tones, intertwined with silver and white streaks, and the fourth exhibited a captivating blend of green, brown, and copper.

'It must all be true. Why else would everything be hidden here, behind Lyanna's statue?' He thought, feeling a sense of wonder. The last chest in the compartment was smaller and not as heavy, but there was something inside that made it feel weighty. Jon lifted it out and opened it.

Inside, he found letters, a scroll, and an iron-looking crown adorned with rubies. 'The crown, by its design, dragon scales with red rubies, made from Valyrian steel. The crown of Aegon the Conqueror himself,' he thought in awe, realizing he had discovered two legendary artifacts—the answers he had longed for. Memories of his childhood dreams and fantasies flooded his mind—being Aemon the Dragonknight or the Conqueror himself, riding a dragon as he climbed the weirwood trees in the godswood. "Wake me up," a loud grumble in his head interrupted his thoughts, and he felt all of Winterfell shake. If that was real, or himself he did not now.

"What was that?" He exclaimed as the shaking ceased. "Fire and blood," the whispers in his head spoke aloud. "Black as coal, always alone like the white wolf. Find him, wake him, and wake us from stone."

'Well, I can't stay. I'll go and bring this to my room. I don't have servants who clean it anyway. Thanks to Lady Stark, who was his aunt, by marriage. Bloody fish, pious and self-righteous, all things she said about me being a bastard, and they are wanton creatures, all fairy dust. All the hatred she boils up against me without cause, I never did ask to be born. Even if I was a bastard, I'm not the one who lay with another woman. Damn the fish for her self-righteousness,' He thought angrily.

It took him four trips in silence to bring everything to his chambers. He put the chest with eggs in the back of the room, and the greatsword under his bed. He wasn't sure if he should tell his siblings, now cousins, what he found out. The secret could destroy them, all as he then remembered what Tywin Lannister had done. His siblings were butchered, the mother of his siblings was raped and cut in half by the Mountain and Emory Lorch. What the Robert Baratheon, according to the tales that came out. He had only said. "I see only dragonspawn." That thought made me decide against telling them.

He opened the chest with the crown inside of it. There were scrolls and letters inside, some opened with broken wax seals and others unbroken. Three were meant for him, and two others for Doran and Oberyn. Why they would be addressed to them, He didn't know.

He opened the letter from Lyanna, his mother. He was more than sure now, the thought was saddening yet some form of resurgence that his mother didn't want him. As looked at the letter had a rushed handwriting to it, as if she was in a hurry.

My dearest boy, My little dragonwolf, My little Aenar,

If you are reading this, I'm no longer here. I'm writing this so you know the truth. I'm your mother, Lyanna Targaryen, wife and beloved of the crown prince Rhaegar Targaryen. We married under the heart tree on the eye of the gods and in a sept with the High Septon present. Elia knew and opened me into their family, and she would have accepted you if she was still here. She would be your mother too. There is more about this in the letters to her family. Give them when you can. It will make it all more clear, my son.

I'm sorry I wasn't there to guide, care for, and love you as every mother should. Know that I love you, now and always. Nothing will ever change that, my beloved son. Your father is gone. I know he loved you too and was so proud of you. He knew the path you would walk. He knew you were destined to bring the world into a better place. To be the song of Ice and Fire, as he called it. Also, he said a dragon has three heads. He thought you would be a girl, but a mother knows.

Go and build your life and become what you will choose for yourself. But now you can do anything you set your mind to, my child. Be our son, that is all you ever needed to be for us.

Your loving mother, Princess Lyanna of House Targaryen.

"Damn, you, Robert, and Aerys for breaking my family apart. For slandering, killing my father, and laughing when you saw my brother and sister murdered," He said in a low crumble, as the tears came after he read the letter.

He picked up the letter from his father and started to read it.

My dear Visenya or Aenar,

If you read this I'm no longer around, as I'm hoping you are with family that care for you or someone who does care for you. Deep down I know, if I'm dead most likely the rest of our family is as well.

If you need help the Velaryons of Driftmark, are our oldest and most loyal of allies. Then many lords in the Narrow Sea come to stand beside the three-headed dragon banner. The blood of old Valyria runs in many of their veins.

Visenya or Aenar, you are our heir now even if you are a girl. Your uncle Viserys was too must like my father your grandfather Aerys. I couldn't let him be heir, so in that scenario, I have written a decree, all is to be found in my vault in the Iron Bank. It will also hold a decree of the marriage to your mother, It will also hold funds for you, as my child I set aside a long time ago. There is a vault that can be opened also the true heir or king of the iron throne can open it with a magic blood lock. So go there to get access to them or send some with a vile of blood. Also, there is a fault on Dragonstone, where I have hidden valuable items from our house. It works the same way.

Well, just now I'm proud of my little dragonwolf. Sorry, I wasn't there. Remember our words fire and blood. As well as your mother's winter is coming.

Also, remember a Dragon has Three Heads.

Find your destiny my child and be happy most of all.

Goodbye, and I love you.

Your Father Prince Rhaegar Targaryen. Heir to the Iron Throne.

"Oh, I love you too, the memory of you," He murmured to himself. He needed sleep, even if there were more scrolls to read, it had been exhausting a couple of hours, and the sun would come up soon. He needed some sleep if needed to face his nameday celebration. Even if they were barely noticeable compared to the other Stark children.

"Ah, so you know the truth now, little dragonwolf?" the voice asked, intrigued. "Yes, I finally know the truth about my mother and my father," He answered with a heavy sigh. 'Why am I here? Am I going mad, like my grandfather?' he pondered silently.

"NO!! You are nothing like that cursed traitor to the blood. Aerys was your grandfather, but Rhaella was also your grandmother, just like Rickard Stark and Lyarra Stark. They were all good in their hearts, except him. Although Rickard was maybe too ambitious for his own good," the voice stated firmly, warning Jon not to question.

"You have been planned for 8,000 years to come again. 600 years ago, the prophecies were shown to me, allowing me to prepare for the fall of one of your ancient homes. The other didn't listen, as I said. Sending Daenys away was part of the prophecy. 'When the sun rises in the west and sets in the east. When the seas go dry and mountains blow in the wind like leaves.'"

"It translates to: 'Go to the west where the sun sets, for the west comes your descendant, and they will travel east. When seas that still boil with heat, where you set foot will go dry. The mountains that have covered the land will blow away, and the lands of old will be reopened,'" the voice explained.

"But does that mean I'm supposed to go to Valyria? That's where Daenys came from. The west is where I was born, and when I go east, the sun will set on me," he spoke aloud, musing over his thoughts.

"The rest of the prophecy isn't clear to me. I don't know what else my father said in his letter. 'A dragon has three heads' and to listen to both my house words," Jon questioned the voice.

With laughter, the voice responded, "True house words aren't always for pride; they have some meaning to them. Like to those arrogant lions—'Hear me roar.' But I'm sure a dragon roars louder than a lion. But yes, remember both; you will need them. And as for the dragon having three heads, it is about the conquerors. To reclaim your house's full power, you must find the other two dragons. There are nine left in the world who have a claim to that moniker, but you are the only one I can see clearly. I already feel that one is born of betrayal, and the other, like you, doesn't know their true history. Some are half-dragons—one of goodness and the other of madness. Two have gone down the path of madness, while the others have followed the path of goodness. There are also two remaining with the last blood of full-blooded Targaryen siblings—your uncle and aunt. I can't yet see if they are false or true. They can be both, or one is true, or both are false," the voice concluded.

"So, I'm the only true one around, with two more to be found. Two make three heads. But those four eggs, two of which, unless I'm crazy, are talking to me," He stated to the voice.

"True, two of them are talking to you; they are part of the spirits of your lost siblings. Your father must have carried them to Dorne when he went there with your mother for safekeeping. The two eggs you mentioned belonged to your brother and sister. They were already bonded, but when they died, part of their essence merged with the eggs. One holds Rhaenys, and the other holds Aegon's spirit. That's why they feel different; they are bonded through sibling ties. So there's a chance you will be able to ride both of them, as well as the dragon made of stone. And there's also a dragon with three heads to come forth," the voice explained further.

"Really? Part of them is still around?" His voice trembled with emotion.

"Yes, a part of them is still around, but not fully like you. They are still with you and will be with your family and its protectors until the end of their days," the voice assured him.

"Well, it feels good to not be alone, to have them close. But tomorrow, I will speak with the man I thought was my father, to finally understand why he never told me before," He stated determinedly.

"Yes, your ice family will be part of the journey. Two of them are already on your path, becoming close, and another is yet to be seen. More dragonwolves will be born. It seems one will be Targaryen's, and the other will be of Valyrian blood, bringing forth new houses. The same will be true for some of your other children, born from different connections," the voice said with a chuckle, before Jon could interrupt. "Bringers of a new age," it added.

"What? I told myself I would never sire a bastard," He exclaimed, rejecting the idea.

"Well, little dragonwolf, you will. The path for those children will be more prestigious than any other before it. They will be the lords and ladies of new great houses. Some will be smaller, others greater. There will be no shame, but rather reverence when everything falls into place. However, it's a future you have to decide if you want and are willing to work for. Alternatively, you can choose to remain as Jon Snow and forget the name Aenar Targaryen altogether," the voice stated, making it clear that Jon stood at a crossroads.

"Very well, I will see what my future holds after tomorrow," He said determinedly. "Good. Don't sleep, little wolf dragon. You have an exhausting day ahead tomorrow. Remember, you are a dragon and a wolf," the voice advised before fading back into darkness.

Eddard Stark

The morning was the same as usual. The family was eating together, although they seemed to be looking at Jon with those grey-purple eyes—a mix of his true father and his mother. They stared at him the same way. His sister had asked him to protect her, saying, "Promise me, Ned, promise me."

"Jon, is everything all right? You have been unusually quiet," Eddard Stark asked his son with concern.

"Yes, Lord Stark, I was just thinking about something," Jon replied quietly, looking down as he spoke.

"Jon, don't think too much, will you? We have a sparring lesson again, and I want a challenge this time," Robb said, half encouragingly and half in jest.

"But if Snow can really do anything against Robb. He always loses, quite badly," Theon said with a smirk on his face, cutting a sausage and putting it in his mouth as he looked at Jon and Robb.

"Enough, you two. Jon, what were you thinking of?" He asked, looking Jon in the eyes.

"Just thinking of my aunt, that's all. I went to the crypts this morning," Jon answered, and his own heart skipped a beat at those words.

"Why were you at the crypts? We're at the crypts," HE asked, but before Jon could answer, Catelyn spoke up.

"Snow, you shouldn't go in there. It's meant for Starks, not Snows," she said with venom. But as usual, Jon, who would do nothing, gave Catelyn an icy glare.

"Cat, don't. Jon is my blood, he has every right to go down and be with his ancestors." He said, and that seemed to cool the situation.

"Lord Stark, if we can speak later about that after the sparring session, I can explain why I went to the crypts this morning. It's rather personal," Jon questioned him. "Of course, it's not a problem," He replied.

"Very well, that's out of the way. I don't want to hear any more of it," He announced, shooting a look at Catelyn. Their breakfast went on as usual, but Catelyn had a glare on her face directed at Jon, which he hoped would fade soon enough. "The boy had every right to go down there. He was a Stark, and he may not have the Stark name, but my sister's blood flows in him the same as me," Eddard thought, annoyed.

He watched the boys spar. Now it was Jon going up against Robb. He sighed inside, knowing Jon would let Robb win again, not wanting Robb to be looked down upon by everyone for being beaten by a bastard. Although Jon wasn't one and was a better swordsman than both of them. Just like his mother, she had always been better than him and Benjen—a natural swordswoman. Although he hadn't sparred with her after he had left for the Vale. Jon also excelled at jousting, something he seemed to have inherited from both his father and mother. That was the one thing nobody could deny him—Jon was the earliest on the saddle of all the children.

But to his surprise, Jon didn't hold back. He quickly parried Robb's strike and continued to attack, swiftly turning the tide. Robb lost his blade and found Jon's at his throat. Jon was not just good, he was perfect. He seemed even better than Eddard had thought. Was there something different about Jon? Perhaps something more than he realized?

"How did you do that, Snow?" Robb asked with a hint of amusement. "Just practice, brother. Nothing more—practice and patience. Also, I was lucky," Jon replied, but it wasn't luck. It was skill—perfect skill. Eddard could see the difference when Jon fought Theon. With his ward, Jon didn't have any reservations about attacking him.

"Well done, Jon. Robb, you as well. Now, go again. One thing before you start—both of you, watch your opponent's eyes. Most of the time, they betray where a person will strike. But in a true battle, you won't have that luxury most of the time. So, use your instincts," he said to the boys, and all three nodded.

They started again. This time, the match went on longer. But Jon still outclassed Robb by a mile. 'He always knew Jon had this talent, but he must have trained it himself. Did he practice alone? He would ask him when they were alone after the spar,' he mused in thought.

"Ah, Catelyn. Came to watch the boys?" He asked as his wife walked towards them.

"Of course, Ned. How is Robb doing? Proving he's the great future Lord of Winterfell?" she asked, her tone questioning. But it sounded like she believed it should be obvious that Robb was the best.

He answered apprehensively, offering his version of the truth. "Well, he did well. He has the skill and is holding his own, standing his ground. But he still has a lot of learning to do."

"Good, that's what I wanted to hear," she replied, smiling. But then she looked down and saw Jon being beaten in another spar against Robb. "Yield?" Jon asked, grinning at his cousin.

"Yield, damn you, Snow! Three times in a row! How did you get this good all of a sudden?" Robb questioned his cousin. "Well, I no longer hold back. I practice a lot alone," Jon answered. "Holding back?" Robb frowned.

"Yes, certain fears are gone, so I thought I'd give you a true taste of what I can do," Jon answered a hint of guilt on his face. "Well, good. This will make the spars more interesting, for sure. Now I understand why you beat Theon all the time. Well, sometimes I lost to him," Robb said, and continued speaking "What fears were you talking about?" Robb asked, looking at his cousin.

"I will tell you later after I have spoken with Father and we have lunch," Jon answered, looking at him. 'Damn, he looks like his mother when he looks at me like that,' he thought as he stood there.

"Well, Jon, shall we go then? Come with me to my solar. You three did well," and he received a smile from all three of them. "Lord Stark, I want to get something from my room first, if you don't mind," Jon asked.

"Of course, it's not a problem. I will wait for you in my solar," he answered. As he walked past Catelyn, he noticed the glare she was sending Jon. 'Cat, it was a spar. It's only fair for Robb to lose sometimes. If he wins every fight here, he will think he can't lose, which is dangerous in a real fight. Couldn't she see that?' he thought as he shook his head and continued walking toward his solar.

Later in his solar, a gentle knock echoed through the room. "Come in," Eddard called out, his voice carrying a mixture of weariness and concern. The door opened, revealing Jon, who had an unmistakable red mark on his left cheek. It hadn't been there before, and Eddard's curiosity was piqued. "Come in, son," he said, gesturing for Jon to take a seat on a nearby stool. Something was clearly troubling the young man, and Eddard wanted to know what it was.

"So, Jon, are you going to tell me what's been going on with you?" He asked, his voice laced with genuine worry. He observed Jon closely, trying to discern the source of his distress.

"Aye, I will," Jon replied, devoid of any nervousness. "But before I do, I would like to know how my mother is," he added, his tone steady but carrying a hint of longing.

"Jon, we've discussed this before. I will tell you when the time is right," Eddard responded, a tinge of sadness seeping into his voice. The subject of Jon's mother was a sensitive one, bound by secrets and painful memories.

"Oh, I see. So when I'm at the Wall, where my secret can't harm your friend and liar of a king, or where you no longer have to worry about your wife's hatred towards me," Jon retorted sharply, his words hitting him with unexpected force. How did he know about Robert being a liar?

"Jon, you can't speak of the king in such a manner, and yes, my wife has not been kind to you. I apologize for that, but the king does deserve respect," he replied, his voice tinged with a mix of defensiveness and loyalty.

"Yeah, defend your friend and wife," Jon scoffed, his tone dismissive. "Well, both Jon Arryn and Robert Baratheon played you for a fool for almost fourteen years. They lied about my mother, who I know is Lyanna Stark. They sent a letter to Robert and Jon Arryn and to your father, explaining everything, but it was conveniently never found or brought to your attention, I read the damn letter my mother spoke on how the war happened in her eyes. " Jon continued, his words heavy with accusation. He could only stare at him, stunned and unsure how to respond.

"Yes, Uncle, I know. But you didn't know about the extent of their deception, did you? Judging by your reaction, they both conspired to bring chaos and nearly wipe out everyone on my father and mother's side of the family. It was all based on a lie, and they knew it. Robert and Jon Arryn, no better than Tywin Lannister. They orchestrated the overthrow, the death of your father and brother, and the supposed kidnapping of my mother, which was the lid that ignited a rebellion, but it never had to be this way." Jon ranted.

'All that bloodshed, and poor Ashara, driven to grief, ended her own life. The woman my father loved at Harrenhal, the mother of his stillborn child.' He thought, in anguish at what Jon revealed, his anger and frustration were rinsing, and his mind was reeling, trying to absorb the weight of these revelations.

Then Jon placed the letters on his desk, proving the words Jon spoke to him. "I'm sorry, Jon. I should have told you sooner, but I believed it was best to spare you the pain of knowing the full extent of what happened to your family. I experienced that pain myself when I lost them. And I wanted to shield you from Robert. But I had no knowledge of those letters, never unbroken the seals as they weren't for me to read. The only thing I discovered was your mother's love for your father when I found her on her birthing bed, in the final moments of her life. She told me that much and urged me to protect you from Robert. If I had known the truth, I would never have fought against Rhaegar. I would have gladly aided him in removing his father and your grandfather. I am deeply sorry for everything," He confessed, his voice laced with regret and simmering anger at the revelations.

"Well, it's good to know that. I'm not sure what I would have done if you had known uncle," Jon replied, his voice heavy with judgment. He couldn't blame him for no longer referring to him as his father. The guilt gnawed at him, realizing he could have done more for Jon.

"I am sorry, Jon. I hope that one day you can find it in your heart to forgive me for my failures. I had planned to tell you when you turned sixteen nameday and then travel to Greywater Watch to seek guidance from those who could help you decide your path in life. But I stand by you, no matter what you choose. However, Jon, how did you come to discover all of this? Did Howland send you a letter?" He asked, perplexed. Howland and Arthur were the only ones privy to such knowledge.

"No, it didn't happen that way. I had hoped it was that way, it would be a lot simpler to explain," Jon replied with a sigh. "Well, let's start from the beginning," He prompted, curious as to how Jon had unraveled the truth.

"So, that's something." After Jon or Aenar was done with his explain how he found out. "You can feel the warmth of dragon eggs, and you can read High Valyrian?" he asked, somewhat incredulous.

"Well, yes. The dragon eggs respond to me and two of them talk to me, and they hold a part of my siblings' spirits within them. It helps to ease the pain of their loss. I will bring fire and blood, and winter to those who have harmed my family. And when we are in private, you can call me Aenar. That's my true name. But not in public, not yet, for well obvious reasons," Aenar declared, determination etched into his gaze.

"Well, it seems we have much to discuss. But we shouldn't linger here for too long. People will grow suspicious if we remain secluded. But before we depart, where did you get that red mark on your cheek?" He asked, noticing the discoloration. Aenar's face darkened immediately.

With a deep sigh, Aenar responded, "Your wife, Uncle. When I was heading to my room after removing the practice armor, she cornered me and said she had warned me before about defeating Robb. She slapped me. That's not the only thing she has done, but I will show you during the lunch. Ask if we can trade our food during the meal." His voice carried pain and sorrow. No, Catelyn had struck his son! And from Aenar's account, this wasn't the first time.

"I'm sorry, Aenar. I have failed you. Upon hearing this, I have been blind to the truth. I will see what you have to show me. Now, come, let's attend lunch together. Afterward, I will ensure your protection, and we will discuss your future in more depth after supper," Eddard declared, both of them rising from their seats and embracing, albeit with a hint of stiffness from Aenar's side. He hadn't fully forgiven him, and He couldn't expect him to. At least Aenar was open to the possibility of forgiveness. 'This would be a long day.' He thought somberly.

Thanks for the read, this story I have always wanted to make. Going to Valyria, seeing what we can do over there, and seeing if we can make this into an interesting story.
