Chapter 21: Alliance

Daenerys breathed as the wind hit her face, she wasn't going to lie, she was terrified, her pyramid looked like a toy house from how high she was. Her hands gripped tightly on Ella's spikes, despite being terrified, Dany never felt so free. It was like a feeling she couldn't describe. The emotions that was passing through her body at the moment.

She looked back when she heard a screech, her brows furrowed when she didn't saw her nephews and niece on their dragon's back. Ella was flying above Dragon's bay for good short while, Daenerys was in awe by how far she went in just a few minutes.

Her eyes traveled to the horizon, she could see a small spot of land that was Meereen. Her sides filled by water, her head went to the direction her dragon was going, she squeezed her eyes and moved her head forward looking at the small spots at far.

Ships…

They flew for a few moments till she could see the sails clearly. A golden kraken on black… what house is this… 

Greyjoy! 

Greyjoy? What are they doing here? With this amount of ships… it must have fifty to a hundred…A fleet of this size… "We have to back girl." Daenerys rubbed Ella's scales, her dragon purred and surprisingly obeyed her.

"She has been gone for a long while." Aegon complained watching his brother pace in the room. 

"And what can we do? The best of the odds is that she has four dragons with her." His brother opened his arms.

"As hard as this seems, we should put this matter to the side for a moment." Arthur said.

"Why?" Rhaenys frowned.

"When you all were in the Pits, we received a box." Arthur nodded at the big wooden box on the corner of the room. "And in that box, that man was inside." 

All the heads turned to the side of the room, Aegon frowned at the imp that stood at the door, with two unsullied on his side.

"Who the fuck is this?" Daemon pointed.

The small man cleaned his throat. "Allow me to introduce myself. I 'am Tyrion Lannister." Aegon cocked his head.

His brother's brow raised, and he looked back and forth between Arthur and Tyrion. "Arthur, what in the actual fuck is Tyrion Lannister doing here?" He said slowly.

Before the sword of the morning could answer, his wife began to speak. "Tyrion killed Tywin Lannister, he accused him of the death of Joffrey. Quite family you have." Rhae read the letter. "Varys also trust him." 

Tyrion stepped into the room. "And you three must be the offspring of Rhaegar Targaryen." Tyrion said while measuring them

"Why are you here?" His brother asked.

"Simple, young… prince? I'm a wanted man in Westeros, they framed me for something I didn't. As much I would love to kill that brat, I did not do it. All I ask is protection and safe passage to Westeros when you return, also I want Casterly Rock, you will have all the west." The imp explained.

"Just that? You think we will believe that the only thing you want is a castle?" He asked.

"Yes, you have my word."

"You are aware if you betray us, I'm stretch your bones till you are seven feet tall." Rhaenys stared at the small man.

"I wouldn't expect less." Tyrion blinked slowly.

Half an hour later the three of them stood on the terrace, Ella circled the Pyramid and quickly landed. A wild haired Daenerys dismounted the dragon and quickly kissed the beast. Ella purred.

"Are you well?" Daemon walked to her, he held her face and inspected her body. 

Dany gave a bright smile and kissed him. "It was amazing… breathtaking, I don't even know how to describe it. You three will have to ride your dragons. Fuck, it was so incredible, really scary but incredible!" She said in one breath.

"We, will later." His brother said. "Are you sure you're fine? Not even a scratch?"

Dany shook her head then her eyes widened. "Shit, I forgot. We must prepare our fleet. A Greyjoy fleet is coming to Meereen." 

"Great." Daemon murmured.

"Greyjoy? That's odd." Rhaenys moved close to Dany.

"How many ships?" Daemon rubbed his head

"Don't know… maybe a hundred?" 

"Great, I missed you love, glad you are fine. But now this one has to build a defense." He exhaled and gave Dany a peck, then walked away.

"Maybe one of you should help him, he has to plan the strategy against the Dothraki and the Greyjoys." Daenerys pursed her lips.

He looked at his aunt. "I will later, but before we should tell you about our new guest."

Daemon was halfway through his plan to defeat the Greyjoys when a raven arrived, he did his best to not get mad for the past hour that he spent doing a tactic to help them.

They have come in fucking peace.

"They arrive in a couple of hours, surround the docks." He told Serysa. She nodded and left, Tyene moved on his lap inspecting the map.

"We can put trenches here… and here, this will take on the Dothraki main attack." She said trailing her fingers on the lines.

Daemon hugged her waist. "We can also put a few catapults…" 

"Stones?"

"No… maybe the same strategy from the Tyroshi? Pitch and oil." She suggested.

He nodded. "Uhum, we can put some flaming projectiles on them…" 

"Oh… I like where your mind is going." She clapped.

He laughed pecking her cheek. "Now, go and get everything ready with the other commanders, if we have enough luck, our enemies will arrive in the next week." Tyene stood up and left.

An hour later, he found himself sitting on the steps of Daenerys' throne, his sister and brother were on their feet beside Dany. 

"You are in the presence of Daenerys Targaryen, The Breaker of Chains and Queen of Meereen." Missandei announced.

"We thank you, for meeting us, Your Grace." Yara Greyjoy gave a little bow.

Daenerys smiled. "And he is?" She pointed to the man who kept staring at him.

"This is my brother, Theon." Yara said.

"Theon, I remember you at Winterfell." Tyrion said.

Daemon's head turned. "Where the fuck did he came from?" He murmured.

"You…" The Greyjoy blinked.

"You've made jokes about my height." 

"I didn't remember giving you permission to talk." Daenerys drawled.

The Lannister lowered his head. "Forgive me, My Queen."

"You said that he was in Winterfell." He pointed at Tyrion.

The dwarf looked at Daenerys, she nodded. "Yes, he was a ward of Lord Stark." 

Interesting.

"What happened with the Starks?" He asked.

Theon changed a look with his sister. He gulped. "Ned Stark is dead, His wife… and Robb."

He frowned. Westeros might be just ruins when we arrive. 

"And you killed the two Stark boys…" Tyrion waved.

His brow raised. "You did what?" He looked the Theon.

"I did not… it wasn't them."

"So, you killed two innocent boys…" Dany said slowly.

Yara stepped forward. "My brother already paid for his mistakes, Your grace."

"How?" She asked.

Yara hesitated for a second. "The imp must have heard that his father made a deal with the Boltons, that lead to Robb Stark's death. My brother was captured by the Boltons… they are not kind people."

So, he was tortured.

Daenerys nodded slowly eying Theon. "What are you two seeking coming here?"

Yara cleaned her throat. "An alliance your grace, we want your help to take The Iron Islands back."

"From whom?" Aegon asked.

"My uncle, Euron, he vanished for years but now he's back. He killed my father and took the throne." 

"And you want us to support your brother's claim." Dany cutted.

Theon moved awkwardly. "Not me, my sister's, I'm not fit to rule."

"We can agree on that." Tyrion murmured. 

"Shut up." Rhaenys said.

"Did the Iron islands ever had a Queen before?" Dany asked.

"Nope." Egg replied.

"Neither did Westeros, but it seems, it soon will have." Yara nodded at Dany.

Gods forbid. Dany thought. Queen of Meereen is already a pain in my arse. 

Daemon smirked weakly as he knew what Dany was thinking, she eyed him with an amused look.

"We will help you get your home back, as allies, we support you, and you support us." Daenerys offered.

"Pardon your majesty, isn't the Iron Fleet bigger than a hundred ships?" Tyrion opened his mouth again before Yara could.

Daemon found the dwarf amusing. 

Yara breathed. "Aye, the rest is with Euron, more than a hundred and fifty… and he is building more."

"It makes more sense to ally herself with your uncle, than ally with you, he has more to offer." Tyrion frowned.

"He has, "his big cock" also to offer. His words, not mine." The Ironborn woman lifted her brows, Dany gave an amused grin. "He's also wanting your hand in marriage." 

"Hmm, and I suppose your offer of alliance doesn't involve any marriage?" Dany said lightly.

"No, but I'm up for it if you want." Yara shrugged.

Daemon cocked his head. 

Dany pursed her lips hiding a smirk. "Our uncle is an insane man, a sadistic by nature. If we hadn't left, we would be dead by now. We want him dead." Theon tightened his fist.

Dany looked at Aegon and Rhaenys, this wasn't just Essos business anymore, this was Westeros. Both nodded at her. "Very well then." She stood up and stepped close to Yara, she offered her hand and Yara took it. "Allies."

"Allies." 

"Did you see the dragons?" Both nodded. "Betray me and you will see them burning the Iron Islands into the deep sea." She smiled.
