"My Prince." Melisandre bows and raises back up and meets my eyes.
"Hello Melisandre, are you feeling ok?" The 'relationship' between us has been warped and weird since we first met but once I started dumping seed in her womb it got even more warped.
She always retreats to her 'duty' to me ordained by her god but if that was the case I don't think she would keep shaking her hips like a whore even though she was already packed full of the baby-making liquid. So I think it's slowly becoming something entirely different and I am looking forward to seeing what it changes into.
"Thanks for asking my Prince, I am fine. I take it we are leaving now?" I nod and look around the empty room since all her stuff was packed and put on one of the ships last night.
"Yes, I came to let you know we are about to get into the carriage and you should join us in one of them. I am sure Danny or someone already picked where everyone is riding so I apologize if you have to ride with someone you don't know well." She smiles and shakes her head.
"It's fine, I am used to unknown faces and will see many more in our travels so no need to apologize to me." I turn and hold out my arm for her to loop her arm with and she does so as we walk out of her room.
"Any interesting things you have seen recently?" She nods slowly as she leans her warm and soft body into me as we walk.
"I saw that we might have more help in the Summer Isles than we might expect, R'hllor's light is spreading." My eyebrows raise and I look over at her and she seems just as confused.
"How?" We round a corner and she wets her lips with her tongue as she thinks.
"The best I can think of is That support from The main temples is being sent and they are spreading the faith in the Summer Isles. The Summer Isles are so isolated from everything and only trade occasionally so they don't get many red priests' attention. I believe Benerro got a word or a vision of you and sent people long in advance to begin laying the way for you, if the people know you are Azor Ahai they will tear down their leaders for you to lead them instead." My back chills, this is connecting things in a way that is starting to get scary.
I know something special happened and I am the one it happened to, dragons from stone under a bleeding red star. I was also born of 'salt and smoke' according to my red lover here so that means the last bit of the prophecy is also... true.
"Darkness gathers, right?" She nods solemnly and looks at me with an iron strong belief that makes me panic a little inside.
"And you will beat them, you are the son of R'hllor and the darkness will flee before your 'Lightbringer' I know it to be true." I look at Brightroar my very own flaming sword but feel a tug from Melisandre.
"That's not your Light bringer, your light bringer you pulled from the flames is covered in scales and will burn the great other to ash." The dragons are my Lightbringer? "In ancient books of Asshai, it is written that there will come a day after a long summer when the stars bleed and the cold breath of darkness falls heavy on the world. in this dread hour, a warrior shall draw from the fire a burning sword. and that sword shall be Lightbringer, the red sword of heroes, and he who clasps it shall be Azor Ahai come again, and the darkness shall flee before him." But none of them are red.
"Some of the pieces aren't fitting Melisandre." She snorts and looks to the side as we continue walking.
"They don't fit yet but the pieces are there, we don't know the full story like R'hllor does so we can only act with what we do know. What we know is you are the only person even remotely fitting Azor Ahai and the darkness should be gathering and you must be ready to face it."
"I see." We both go silent as we continue our walk toward where the carriages are.

"" I love you, mother."" She smiles and kisses my head as she holds the back of my head with both hands.
"" I love you as well my son."" Her tears pain my heart but I don't want to make her more sad by also looking sad.
"Be safe." Shaena kisses my lips in front of everyone and then hugs moms side, well if they didn't know they know now.
I shake my head and turn around and step into the carriage, I am the last one in, and it's the last carriage so as soon as I am in it sets off. The door closes and we are left in silence as we all stew in our thoughts.
"That sucked." Daenerys breaks the silence and pats her eyes with her sleeve and I wrap my arm around her waist.
"Yep, it sucked." I set my head back onto the wall of the Carriage.
"You kissed my mom Infront of everyone." Shiera who also had some tears running down her cheeks looks like she is now going to burst out laughing.
"She kissed me but yes, we kissed in front of everyone so if people didn't know from me going into her room almost twice a day they will know now. Not that it matters and I didn't see anyone react in any kind of way so they likely don't care. I am still a bit pissed off that Viserys only showed up for a moment to say bye and then left." He is getting more and more distant from the rest of us.
"Nothing can be done about the 'kings' busy schedule, though his Kingsguard that he appointed Jeor seemed to be interested in our leaving." The dead Kingsguard, the look in his eyes just now confirmed he is a spy to me. It looked like a man that saw water after days of having none, he is likely a spy and planning to give the information about us leaving out.
"Prince Doran is watching him like a hawk and is ready to rip him to shreds, Jeor has been careful thus far but Doran set this up to trip the man. Once he tries to slip off or meet someone he will be killed regardless of what Viserys thinks, Doran only needs a halfway good excuse to give to Viserys so he won't throw a fit." Goodbye old bear, can't say it was nice to know you.

"This is a bit more cramped than I thought it would be." Rhaenyra drops onto the bed and bounces on it a few times. "At least the bed is comfortable, would suck if it was stiff." I open two chests and let the agitated dragons out who immediately set out into the cabin.
""Where you tired of being stuck in there?"" Daenerys picks up Meleys and holds the dragon to her chest as it cries out its grievances.
""You will be ok."" Shiera sits on the ground and lets Tessarion climb onto her lap.
Arrax flies up and perches onto my shoulder with practiced ease as the other dragons explore the room.
"Well we are off and after a few hours we could even let them outside to fly around if we wanted, I would rather wait till first light and a bit farther away." I am sure they will love flying around, but I also worry they will do something stupid and fly into the water or something.
But if they are that dumb then they wouldn't make it to the size to ride even if I keep babying them, they need to spread their wings sometime.
"I think the morning sounds good as well." Rhaenyra yawns and falls back onto the bed as Syrax lays next to her stretched out.
Seeing the other two agree I start getting ready for bed as well since I am a bit exhausted as well. Not physically but my mind feels worn out from the Prophecy bull shit and seeing people crying.
"Alright, I will see you in the morning then." I throw Arrax onto the far side of the bed near the wall and crawl in going over the top of Rhaenyra. I cross her and make sure to push my hand into her breasts as I do and she grunts from my weight.
"You two are going to sleep this soon?" She asks and I shrug as I lay down, sleep is nice when it's nice and right now it's looking nice.
"We can stay up and play a game of Cyvasse if you want to Shiera." Daenerys offers as she opens her chest to get the game board out.
"Sounds fun let's do that." They both head to the table as Rhaenyra wiggles under the covers and snuggles her backside onto me.
We both lay on our sides and watch the two of them set the board for Cyvasse and I feel Arrax and Syrax crawling around to find a comfortable spot.
"You left your dress on." I whisper into Rhaenyras ear as my hands trail her body and she nods.
"If we started getting loud from the start things might get awkward pretty quick with the other people on the ship. But I will take it off as it is already getting hot under these covers." She starts shimmying and manages to work the dress off to her hips where it gets stuck and I help her slide it the rest of the way.
Danny and Shiera both are already engrossed in their match and are ignoring us as I slide my hands back onto her almost completely bare body. Wrapping her up in my arms I sink my head into my pillow and close my eyes.

I wake up and feel the need to piss so I slip out the bed and head out of the room and onto the deck.
Standing outside I see the sky full of stars that seems to almost merge with the ocean and seems like we are sailing in the stars. The sea is almost still as we carve across it which strikes me as odd but I shake my head and ignore it for now as I head to the side of the ship to relieve myself.
Turning around after buttoning my pants I spot someone I didn't see before on the deck.
Morgana.
"Couldn't sleep?" I ask as I walk up beside her and look ahead of us toward our heading.
"I could, but I would rather see this." She motions toward the literal sea of stars across the water and I nod.
"You like stars?" She raises a brow and looks at me funny.
"I am part, Dayne." I roll my eyes and pat myself on the chest.
"I got Dayne in me too, doesn't mean I will skip sleeping for a cool sky. What's got you bothered enough to stay up?" She relaxes her face and looks forward once more.
"Nothing for you to worry about Eragon." Oh, it seems I am related to the problem.
"That 'Eragon' seemed a bit sour in your mouth, what did I do to piss you off?" She sighs and looks back at me in annoyance.
"You are fucking my mom and she is planning to 'work under you' in the literal meaning." So I boned her mom and she is mad, that's honestly new for me.
"Uhm, I am not sure what to say since most moms I fuck their daughters are cool with it or active in making it happen." She scoffs and looks back forward.
"Yea well I am not like that, just because my mom wants your cock doesn't mean I do." She grits her teeth and almost looks ready to snarl and I nod internally, this is the 'she wolf'.
I could leave her alone or try to salvage the situation, and I am wide awake now so why not try?
