The Pale Khal

( POV Jory Castle )

We were late how was he supposed to tell his lord that they where just a few months behind his son and now that same son could be a Dothraki slave anywhere in Essos.

After the war when Lord Stark returned to find is son missing he flew into a rage after which he went into the Godswood to prey and when he returned in the morning I could tell he hadn't slept at all, that was the most emotion I had seen on him apart from the happiness he felt when his children where born, even when Greyjoy rebellion was announced he just calmly place the letter on the table and told the maester to call the banners.

He had become more short tempered and protective of his family since then. And I know he blames himself, though if the way he treats the Greyjoy boy is any indication he also blames the Greyjoy's and their idiotic rebellion as well. He's not cruel to the boy or anything but he is treated like what he really is a hostage meant to keep his father in line while most people who know Lord Stark expected the would be treated more like a ward.

The little Lord Robb also was greatly affected by the loss of his brother, he blames himself as his brother was left behind trying to bye him time to escape and when he found out that the slavers where likely trying to find Lord Robb he cried himself to sleep for a whole week straight.

He refuses to hear anything bad said about his brother when he heard some heir to a minor lord say why they where fussing over a bastard so much Robb demanded the boy meet him at the training ground where lord Robb beat him with his blunted sword for hours on end with a ferocity that I didn't know he possessed.

Lord Robb has been somewhat lonely since the loss of his brother, he never got to close with Greyjoy boy but when lord stark fostered the youngest Karstark boy they became fast friends though not as close as Lord Robb was to his brother.

Even little Sansa missed her brother though she didn't really understand what was going on she just missed her favourite brother who always snuck her lemon cakes when she asked for them, the one with the pretty hair she calls him.

And I'm going to have to be the one to tell Lord Stark and his family that he's gone we might never find him, I'll have to tell them that for the past two years he was forced to kill in the fighting pits and now he's a slave to Dothraki savages.

"Come Ser Wylis, we are to return home the boy is lost to us now." I said to thaw large manderly knight in a grave tone.

( POV Jon Snow )

It's been two years since I last dreamed of the Gods and was gifted my powers I've made sure to keep my powers a secret but despite keeping them secret I've trained them as much as I could and it seems warging comes easiest to me, it's natural almost like breathing. I struggle with my powers from R'hllor that I've taken to calling fire bending I've trained it to the level where it can be used effectively in battle. The one I struggle the most with is water bending especially the healing but the ice part of the bending comes much easier to me, probably the northerner in me. Earth bending, my gift from Vazhof is what comes easiest to me after warging.

But my powers weren't the only things I trained I also kept up my training with my weapons and as I grew I got more strength, I'm now twelve name days old but I have the height of a sixteen name days old and I've beaten all the great warriors of the Khalasar including Khal Jhogo's blood riders.

The youngest of the Khal's blood riders thought me how to use a bow like a Dothraki, at first I wasn't any good which was strange for me as I fighting was always instinctual for me but I got better over time what really improved my archery was when I was experimenting with warging.

I found out that warging into different animals gave me different boosts in power. Warging into Shadow my black stallion made me faster than if I warged into Ghost, but warging into Ghost makes me stronger as well as faster, but warging in to Senu improved my eyesight so when I warged into Senu while shooting my bow I almost always hit my target.

I never fought the Khal though, I knew I could beat him but I wanted to train my powers before I became a Khal though it seemed like my time for training has ran out. The Khal has grown sickly he's become slow and can barley ride his horse and when he dies he'll leave no Khalakka to take up the Khalasar the blood riders will fight to see who will lead the Khalasar and then I'll fight the winner and make the Khalasar mine this is the start of my journey to unite all of the Dothraki into one Khalasar.

" Khal Jhogo has fallen from his horse and won't last until morning we need to decide who will become the new Khal" said the largest of the blood riders

Two of the blood riders stepped up to the one who just announced that the Khal was dying and spoke to him.

"We would be honoured to serve as your blood riders as we did Khal Jhogo before you."

While one of the blood riders named Arggo who I had become close to over the last two years when he taught me archery.

"Jonos I would name you my Khal and if you would have it I would ride as your blood rider." he said while kneeling

The crowd of Dothraki were shocked because while they knew I was one of the best fighters in the Khalasar and I was good on a horse they had never seen me fight any of the blood riders and they assumed that they where better than me. So for Arggo to name a foreigner his Khal over his own kind shocked them.

"Rise Arggo I name you blood of my blood." I said to my first blood rider.

"You would choose a foreigner over one of your own kind!" The other blood riders shouted as they raised their weapons and I knew I would have to fight them by myself if I wanted to gain the allegiance of the rest of the twenty shops and strong Khalasar so i signalled for Ghost and Arggo to stay back. I didn't have my spear or shield but I had two of my talons on my waist and my two handed scimitar on my back.

As the three advanced i unsheathed my talons and threw them at the two closest, my left talon found its mark in the head of the closest Dothraki on my left.

The second only sliced the arm of the next Dothraki who was holding a large arakh in two hands and he got closer i unsheathed my scimitar from my back. As he got into range he swung his two handed arakh but because of the slice in his arm his swing was slow and i easily ducked under it, I sliced at his stomach and by blade cut through his skin like a hot knife through butter, he dropped to his knees his arakh falling to the ground beside him and in one fluid motion I swung my scimitar at the back of his neck decapitating him.

I turned around just in time to block a downwards strike from two arakhs I kicked the man in the chest and he stumbled backwards I used earth bending to make him lose his footing and as he was falling I swung by blade again this time his arm went flying into the air along with one of his arakhs and an arc of blood.

He screamed in pain as he rose and swung his remaining arakh wildly without aiming I swung again his last remaining arm following the previous as he shouted curses in Dothraki I swung again this time hitting the back of his knees and he collapsed to his knees. As I approached his all the assembled Ko's quieted, and so to the sound of the last blood riders curses I cut his braid and dropped it on the ground beside his kneeling figure. Just then the two former Khaleesi emerged from the old Khals tent.

"Khal Jhogo has passed" they announced loudly to the crowd.

Arggo walked to me with our horses I walked past the dying blood rider in front of me and mounted Shadow.

"I am Jonos snow, The Pale Khal and you are my Khalasar ride with me and the world shall be trampled beneath our hooves" I said to my new Khalasar.

Then I warged into every horse present and made them bow to me and the Dothraki took it as a sign from Vezhof and soon followed kneeling to me.

"We ride for Vaes Dothrak to escort the Khalesi so they can join the Dosh Khaleen, then we ride to war." Then my new Khalasar screamed their war cries and began to pack up the camp and we were riding to Vaes Dothrak within the hour.
