Dorne VII

[A Few Weeks Later]

(Rhaegon's POV)

"A letter has arrived for you, Ser." One of the servants said as he handed me the rolled-up paper

"Hm." I said as I took it and nodded, "Thank you." 

I was sitting in a chair, overlooking the Water Gardens, watching several people swim in it. 

"Who sent it to you?" Obara asked as she sat next to me

I shrugged, "Who knows." I said, "My Mother, probably." 

I opened the letter, I was right: 

"My Dearest Son, 

I am writing this letter to inform you that your father and I are heading towards Winterfell for your aunt's wedding. It is such a shame you will not be able to attend, I hope Dorne is treating you well. There are many things you should know. 

Your sister was so close to claiming her dragon but alas, it had not happened. Hopefully soon, my dear. One day, the two of you will fly in the skies together. 

Your Uncle Stannis has eased on his persistent attempts to take Summerhall but he had not once shown hostility, which is good. 

Also, one thing I thought you would be interested. Your friend, Jon Snow, has taken the Black. Lord Stark tells me of how you've gotten along, I'm sure you'd be quite upset about that. 

I miss you terribly, please bring me all three of the Sand Girls so I can meet them.

With Love, 

Your Mother "

"Well, my Aunt is definitely going to be angry." I said setting the letter down, "I won't attend her wedding." 

"Oh? Daenerys Targaryen?" Obara said, "Do you love her?" 

I looked at her, She was leaning back on her chair, wearing a silk dress as she gave me a smile. This wasn't her usual outfit but I wasn't so opposed to it; she looked nice. 

"What makes you say that?" I asked

"You're Targaryen no? More Baratheon than Targaryen, but Targaryen." she said as she sipped wine from her cup, "It's no surprise that you'd be in love with your own Aunt." 

"Oh please." I said leaning back, "You exaggerate." 

"Maybe it's the King's daughter, the eldest...." Obara said, "What's her name? Myrcella?" 

I raised an eyebrow, "What?" I said

She chuckled, "You don't love her?" 

"She's my cousin." I said with a frown

"Aerion Targaryen was married to his Cousin, he was madly in love with her." She said, "And she was Queen." 

"Aerion this, Aerion that." I said rolling my eyes, "What's with Dorne and Aerion Targaryen? He killed one of your Princes in a conflict and you all suddenly can't stop talking about it." 

"During the Dance, Dorne remained neutral, but they saw it; Aerion Targaryen's War." She said with a raised eyebrow, "Do you not know about the man your line comes from?" 

"Not particularly." I said as I sipped wine from my cup, "Should I?" 

"Yes." She said as she sat up, "A magnificent Warrior, unlike anything ever seen." 

"You Dornish really worship this guy." I muttered

"What? It's not just us, every one in the Seven Kingdoms talks about him." She said with a frown

"Never heard of him." I said

"You're too busy with your head in the skies, literally." She said, "You can't hear what we on the ground say. Aerion Targaryen was the Strongest." 

"That's probably true." I said with a chuckle

She stood up and walked over to me, sitting on my lap, "You're strong as well." She said with a smile, "I bet we can make strong babies." 

I looked away, "Yea, I doubt that." I said

"Why not? Is that not part of the deal?" She asked, "Or are you waiting to get married first? I can wait. But you must marry someone worth it. Mayhaps the Princess.....or the Tyrell daughter.....or my own cousin." 

"You and Nymeria were easy to convince." I said, "I was offered three, not two." 

"Ah, my sister Tyene." She said with a chuckle, "Worry not, she's just a little jealous girl. Don't change the subject, though." 

"What?" I said, "What do you want me to say?" 

"I don't wanna keep drinking Moon Tea." She said

"Relax, it just happened twice." I said rolling my eyes

"If we have children, will they be able to ride a dragon?" She asked

"I don't know." I said, "Maybe. I'm Half-Targaryen, I don't know if the Dragon's Blood will dilute the more I keep going." 

"Shame." She said as she rubbed my hair, "Why don't you just marry the princess, and make some pure Targaryen babies?" 

"I...." I sighed, "I rather not talk about that." 

"Why not?" She asked me, "You scared of opening up?" 

"No..." I said, "Look, I-" 

"Shh..." She said with a smile, "How about we just have some fun?" 

"What? Here?" I asked, "In broad daylight?" 

"No, silly." She chuckled, "Let's go for a swim."

[Volantis, Essos]

(Third Person POV)

Inside a building, in a large open room, a man sat in front of what seemed like a veiled bed. 

He looked around, he was surrounded by several people who were covered in black clothing, veils covering their faces as well. 

He was unsettled by this, no matter how many times he's been in situations like this, he still did not like how they just sat there, silent. 

The man was young and seemed to be in his early twenties, he was tall, something that one would notice even with him sitting down. His hair was somewhat long, reaching to his neck as it was a dark blue, possibly dyed. His eyes were a deep purple, an enticing sight. He wore a black outfit, with what seemed like a dragon insignia in the collar of his shirt. 

He sighed as he sat cross-legged on a cushion on the floor, "How long am I supposed to wait like this?" He muttered

"As long as I desire." A distorted yet feminine voice said from inside the large veil in front of him

Inside the veil, the figure of a woman was seen, sitting on the bed. The man was able to see as two green eyes began to glow, which gave him chills. 

"Hm..." He said as he looked at the woman's figure, "My Lady..." 

"Boy." The voice said, "You have rallied enough forces to alert Westeros. This will prompt them to act, before the planned time." 

"I am only doing what was asked of me." the man said

"Fool!" the woman said, "He does not want a full-out war!!" 

The man frowned, "Then what does he want???" He exclaimed, "I am doing his bidding! I am to be at the head of the Great Army! I am to claim the Iron Throne and take it! What does he want?!" 

"To crush the Threat Beyond The Wall." the woman said

"To do that, we must take the Iron Throne and unify the whole of Westeros." The man said, "And to take the Iron Throne, we need an army.....and Dragons. I am doing exactly what we need to." 

"You have recruited that boy for the cause, have you not? the woman asked, "What will be his purpose?" 

"What do you think?" the man said, "His entire purpose is to destroy my enemies. Him and his Dragon." 

"The Dark Order has been watching your actions, Valerion." the woman said, "Sooner or later....." 

"You will lead us to ruin."
