The sea

In late 282, early 283, Daenerys Targaryen was born.

Rhaella survived childbirth and Shaïra, Elia, Janna, Lyanna and Ashara helped Rhaella take care of Daenerys while Rhaella was still in bed. Viserys was always at his side by the sea.

Viserys was well brought up compared to the series because her mother was there for him and she was not dead when Daenerys was born.

Currently, the fleet was a few days from the summer islands to refuel and Aslan chose the island of Koj. The island of Koj is a minor island in the summer islands, but Koj is an island that has one of the best shipyards in the world. The island also has shipping maps of senders and an extensive market.

On the upper deck of the golden galleon, Aslan stood on the bow of the ship. It's been 4 days since the birth of Daenerys and Aslan had visited the future mother of dragons with expectations. Aslan felt incredible to have changed his destiny.

As he was deep in thought, a cry was heard from the top of the ship which awoke Aslan who had Leo by his side.

"Earth in sight! I see an island in the distance!"

Hearing the sailor's cries, the crew began to run like ants in an anthill. Signals were quickly transmitted between the fleet alarming them from land in sight.

As Aslan's fleet approached, boats adorning birds in the bow appeared. Aslan recognized them, according to the books, these ships are the ships protecting the summer islands and they were called the swan ships.

As they got closer, one of the swan boats got closer and a man stepped on the boat.

"Who are you strangers ?! And what are you doing here ?!"

From his ship, Aslan stepped forward to respond but was on guard.

"We're from Westeros and we're headed to Koj Island for supplies!"

Whispers were heard in the swan boat and the man finally answered.

"Okay, but don't cause a problem or you will be kicked out of here!"

The swan boat turned and left in the direction of the other swan ships under the gaze of Aslan and his fleet.

Sign boats couldn't refuse Aslan's fleet because it was much larger and they had strange ships for them. In addition, the people of the summer islands were known for their warm welcome despite the situation of the person as long as it did not cause problems for the island.

Swan boats are fast because they are built with special wood that was strong but light. Their arches were also built with this wood which could give very powerful arcs and celebrated in the whole world for that. The arrows of this bow could pierce iron armor without difficulty.

Aslan didn't want to cause trouble and he only wanted to refuel for the next 3 days. In addition, he wanted to maintain good relations with the people of the summer islands because they have several precious resources including the wood which makes these boats and these bows.

The fleet entered the port of Koj Island, drawing the attention of countless people including the princes of the island. Aslan had only the galleons carrying the supplies moored while he left the frigates outside the harbor to watch the surroundings. In addition, the port could not accommodate 900 complete ships. As the ships moored, people were already in port watching the foreign ships with interest.

The crew set up ramps to get off the ships.

Aslan and the girls go down escorted by soldiers surprising the local population. None of them had ever seen so many soldiers wearing iron armor. Owing to the lack of iron in the summer islands, the soldiers mostly wore leather armor.

In Aslan's gaze was a crowd of black-skinned people wearing very garish colored outfits. The buildings were very simple with flat roofs where people stood. The ground was ordered with small stones composing the roads. Singing birds flew over the city.

Yet in the distance, you could see a palace with an Indian style and on the other side was a forest in the distance. Aslan found the island very exotic.

The girls were like excited little girls. They exclaimed when they saw the foreign people before their eyes, the strange palace in the distance and the exotic architecture.

In the harbor, Aslan and his men sought out people who spoke the language of the continent to trade. After some time, one of his men returned with a tall black man wearing numerous jewels and colored feathers around his neck. Aslan began to speak with him under the guard of the soldiers.

"Do you understand the common language?"

"Yes. Yes, all right. I'm one of the island's translators. Can I provide you with a service?"

"Yes. I would like to refuel my ships to reach Slaver's Bay."

The startled man mentioned the bay of slaves because his people were many times attacked by the slavers of the Ghiscari Empire, the Empire of Valyria and currently free cities of Astapor, Yunkai, and Mereen.

Under the inquisitive gaze of the black man, Aslan understood his concern and spoke.

"Don't worry, I'm not a slaver but a refugee from Westeros who is leaving for Essos for a fresh start."

"Uff ... I thought you were one of those bastard master slaves. They attack us all the time but we manage to repel them with our ships but ... not all the time, Aah."

The man shook his head in exasperation.

"Let's stop wandering and get back to business. You want to get your supplies quickly you said? Follow me then, I will introduce you to the best traders in the summer islands and I will provide you with the best price."

The man pretended to follow him and Aslan with his men and the girls followed the man. Along the way, the man introduced himself as Babak, a translator who often mediates with foreigners coming to the summer islands.

During the day Aslan bought the necessary food at a fair price but slightly higher than the mainland market. Aslan didn't mind because he knew Babak must have his percentage on the trade.

In the end, it will take three days to transport the cargo on the line ships which are the galleons. During the rest of the day, Aslan with the girls walks in town and the group experiences many things that are impossible to see in Westeros, for example, a basilisk from the Yi Ti Empire or a manticore, a beast being a mixture between a scorpion and a beetle with powerful deadly venom.

Aslan also had to buy clothes that caught the girls' eyes. He bought very colorfully, red, yellow, blues or green dresses, all brilliant. The girls also forced him to buy dresses for Rhaella, Ashara, and Lyanna. Aslan enjoyed spending time with them because it was the only time he didn't have to think about his ambitions.

At night, Aslan with the girls returned to his imposing galleon protected by thousands of guards wearing iron armor and a red cape. In their care, Aslan didn't have to worry about his safety unless it was a faceless man who wanted him dead.

On the galleon, the girls spent their time with Rhaella and Ashara, the only other women on the ship. All enjoyed playing with Daenerys because the little girl tickled their maternal instincts, especially Lyanna who left her son with Ned.

During the month of travel, Aslan and the Royal Guards also trained Lyanna in combat but also in war and how to lead soldiers. To everyone's amazement, Lyanna learned their knowledge like a thirsty sponge. Her level of fencing was fabulous but not at the level of Aslan, Arthur, Barristan or Rhaegar but she was nevertheless excellent, she could catch up with them in a year when she was never really trained. On the other hand, she excelled in the art of leading an army, Lyanna proposed crazy and hard ideas to realize but these plans often gave fabulous results with the least loss of life.

Aslan was happy because he had done well to save such a military talent when he believed that she had only one talent in fencing. Looking at Lyanna, Aslan compared her to Jon in the future.

"Now I know where Jon's charisma comes from and his sword talent, his maternal side dominated that of his father Targaryen."

However ... over the course of the month, Lyanna remained cold and she never expressed any emotion except at the birth of Daenerys where she sketched a thin smile filled with sweetness.

Aslan let the girls play with them as he worked out his plan to settle in Slaver's bay. The candle burned as he looked at the card on the table, Aslan already had an idea in his mind but he tended to review his plan over and over again to ward off any surprises to avoid the King's Landing fiasco.

As the famous proverb says, "Man proposed, God disposes".

The next day, men were transporting huge wooden chests under Aslan's gaze. The work was organized and under the care of soldiers. The dock's of the port were effervescent under the work of the men of Aslan. Seeing that his men were handling everything well, Aslan decided to visit islands near Koj Island. He wanted to take advantage of it because there would be little chance of returning to the summer islands.

Quickly, Aslan told the girls to get ready while he used the signal from his galleon to call a frigate. The frigate which was off the port made its way to the port to stop by the side of the galleon of Aslan.

Aslan lowered the frigate from the rope ladders and was followed by the girls who had problems with their dresses. Rhaella, Ashara, and Lyanna also saw. Rhaella recovers with the help of masters and medicine. Viserys and Daenerys were also part of the excursion. Aslan left the fleet in the hands of Victarion and the Royal Guards, who stayed close to Victarion to prevent him from taking advantage of Aslan's absence.

When everything was ready, Aslan set sail for the Singing Stones. Small islands of the Summer Islands which are 5 hours west of Koj Island. These islands are called Singing Stones because they are dotted with sharp peaks, hollowed out by cavities and galleries in which rushes the wind which produces music.
