Dothraki Sea

As the warm rays of the sun caressed the deck of the ship, Jon sat with Joanna, his young and precocious daughter. He leaned in close, holding two small vials of powders in his hands. "Now, Joanna," he began, his eyes twinkling mischievously, "this is my secret alchemical mix. It's something very special."

Joanna's eyes widened with curiosity as she listened attentively to her father's words. At the tender age of four, she possessed an intelligence beyond her years, just like her clever father.

Jon continued with a dramatic flair, "Once you combine these two powders, you light them with a spark, and then... BOOM!" He threw his arms up in the air, imitating an explosion, making sure to add a playful boom sound effect for emphasis.

Arianne, who had been watching the exchange with a mixture of amusement and concern, finally chimed in. "Jon, are you sure it's alright to teach her about such things at her age?"

Jon chuckled, giving Arianne an exaggerated wink. "Oh, of course, it's perfectly fine! She's my daughter, after all. I have complete faith in her decision-making skills. Joanna will always make the best choices, won't you, my little genius?" he said, playfully tousling her hair.

Joanna beamed with pride, nodding eagerly. "Yes, I'll only ever do it when I'm not at sea, and only to people who I don't like"

Jon nods his head and turns to Arianne "See!? It's perfectly fine" he states.

"I don't think Cersei would appreciate you teaching her daughter that" a voice states as he enters the main deck from the cabins.

Here he was, the condition for taking Joanna on this trip, something that he cursed almost every second of this trip. Some had said that Jon was smug and arrogant, but they had never been in the presence of Jaime Lannister.

Cerseis's condition for letting Joanna go was that she was to be accompanied by a Kingsguard, and of course, the only one she trusted with Joanna was her brother.

Jon leans down to Joanna and whispers loudly "Don't worry, your uncle Jaime is just a little sour because I beat him in a fight and that's the only thing he can do" Joanna chuckles a bit.

Jaime's eyebrow twitches in anger as he heard every word that was said "You trapped me! If we had kept fighting I would've won!" He argues, though Jon just shrugs his shoulder. Before lifting Joanna and putting her on his shoulders.

"I'm only joking around with you Uncle Jaime, we're in the same boat here, on a ship full of Martels that want us dead" he states with humour.

'He has a point' Jaime thinks as he turns around noticing a piercing glare he was receiving from Obara as she steered the ship.

"Father are we going to meet my other family," Joanna asks as she leans her head down to look into his eyes.

Jon chuckles and lifts her off his shoulders holding her to his waist "Of course, and I know for a fact your great-grandmother will be very happy to meet you" he says eliciting an excited smile from her.

Something that made Jaime smile as well. Truth be told when Jaime first went into the delivery room and saw the head of black hair on her head he was furious, at first he believed it to be Roberts, that perhaps his Targaryen lineage had re-emerged inside of her resulting in the purple eyes. But he knew this wasn't the case when he saw how Cersei loved her.

He had never seen Cersei so taken with any of her children as much as she was with Joanna. When he confronted her about it she confessed that it belonged to Jon Snow or Daemon Targaryen. For a while, he tried to hate Joanna.

But in the end, he failed he couldn't hate her any more than he could hate his brother Tyrion. When she was around three she learnt that Jaime was travelling north with the king to go to the wall. She spent weeks in secret making something for him, and when it came time for Jaime to leave she walked up to him and handed him a small homemade scarf that was poorly made.

She then said "Stay warm uncle jam" and it was at that point Jaime crumbled, he could no longer try to hate her, she was his niece and he would love her like family.

So even if he didn't like Jon that much he was grateful that Joanna was born because of him. Though he still wanted to punch him every time he saw him.

"You know Jon I don't think you've told me where it is we are going" Jaime states with a smirk as he leans against the edge of the ship.

"Well I have four years of being a father to make up for, so I'll be taking Joanna on a little adventure" he says with a smile getting a wide one in return from Joanna.

"Truly! Are we going to fight dragons? Or blow up the Iron Bank!" She asks excitedly.

"No no nothing like that, we'll be discovering a lost city and attempting to find a sword that will make anyone who wields it a master swordsman" Jon replies to her as she practically shakes in excitement.

Jaime however laughs "The Sword of the Warrior?! You believe it's actually real" he says incredulously.

Jon however raises his eyebrow "You know of it? No offence but I always took you for a thing to stand there and look pretty, who knew there was something between your ears" he jibed getting a twitch of annoyance from Jaime.

"Every swordsman and knight knows of the sword, but unlike them, I'm smart enough to know that it is just a story" Jaime states.

Jon smirks at him "Well you're half right"

Jaime scrunches his eyebrows at his words "The sword is real, however whether it can do what the legends say it can is a mystery, one that we will solve when we find it" Jon explains to him.

"Why would someone want the sword, why not just learn how to use a sword," Joanna asks making Jon smile.

"Unfortunately not everyone can become a great swordsman no matter how hard they train" Jon replies to her.

"Will I be a great swordsman one day?" Joanna asks her eyes staring wide and intensely at Jon.

Jon smiles at her "You're father is the best swordsman in Westeros and your uncle is slightly worse, so I'm sure you'll be better than both of us one day" he states causing Joanna to smile.

"You know I do wonder about the wisdom of bringing your daughter to the places we are doing, I do hope history does not repeat itself" Jon hears Oberyn state as he walks up the steps of the ship. Jon had started leaving the door unlocked allowing Oberyn and the girls to visit their sister, admittedly it's something he should've done a long time ago.

"Well some of the best fighters in Westeros will be present as well as the entirety of the Golden Company, and I've already told Joanna what to do in case of an emergency" Jon states as he looks at Joanna and she nods eagerly.

"I throw one of these down..." she says as she lifts one of Jon's homemade smoke pellets from a pouch he had gifted her.

Jon smiles and nods encouraging her to continue "And then I run up to them and stab them until they stop moving" she finishes with an innocent smile.

Jon smiles sheepishly as Oberyn laughs "I said throw it down and then run away" he whispered back to her.

Jon clears his throat "Anyway Jaime here will be protecting her most of the time so I think she'll be okay"

Oberyn looks at Jaime and laughs "And who is going to guard you Lannister? There are a lot of people in Dorne who believe you and Cersei should die for what your father did, while I hold only two men responsible others do not see it that way" he says as he walks away.

Jon sighs 'They really should've taken separate ships'

"AHHHHH YES!!!" Arianne shouted as Jon thrust into her, her legs wrapped around his hips and digging into his backside "Be quiet! Joanna is sleeping on the divan just outside" he whispered loudly in her ear, she smirked at him and bit his ear.

"Then kiss me, but don't stop fucking me," she says in her sultry voice. Jon thrusts into her even harder his balls slapping against her arse. Jon holds himself up on his arms so he can see her large breasts sway with every thrust of his cock, her large dark nipples looked too enticing so he reaches down taking one of them in his mouth. "Mmmm, yesss-"Arianne moans but is cut off by Jon putting his hand over her mouth.

She grabs his hands and starts sucking on his fingers passionately only enflaming Jon's desire. He mouths up to her mouth replacing his fingers with his tongue. He then turns over dragging her on top of him. Getting the idea she starts to move her hips back and forth.

Jon was positively entranced by the beauty swaying back and forth on his cock, her breasts jiggled and her hair bounced. She puts her hands on his chest as she starts to go over the edge, Jon's cock was reaching deep inside her and she couldn't stop herself from squirting her juices all over Jon's groin.

She collapsed onto his chest, something she loved doing, she wondered if she was falling in love with Jon, she wanted to be with him all the time and she loved fucking him. Seeing him with Joanna tempted her to stop taking her moon tea, though she wouldn't do that if she wasn't completely manic.

Jon pushed her off of himself, and she gave him a pout as she was comfortable "I've not finished yet, did you think we'd stop just because you were" Jon states with a smirk that makes Arianne rub her thighs together.

He turns her around slapping her on her large arse watching it ripple. Jon grabs the tip of his cock and slides it into her from behind getting cute a moan, grabbing onto her shoulders he pushes his cock in deeper her arse pressing against his waist "I love feeling you inside me" she whispers

"Good because I don't plan to leave for a while" he states as he thrusts harder, he loved feeling the soft, warm and wet sensation of her sex as it clung to his cock every time he thrust in and out. Her cute moans turned into ne'er screams as he started going even harder. Her large cheeks rippling under every stroke, he leans over her small body his face moving next to her ear "I saw you didn't take your moon tea today" he growls out as he keeps thrusting his cock deeply inside her, juices squirt out of her cunt as they're displaced by the large shaft of meat forcing its way inside her.

"I-I f-f-forgot" she stammers out as she grips the bed sheets as she's railed from behind.

Jon smirks as he licks and bites her ear "I think you forgot on purpose" he says to her as his arms reach underneath her pinching her large dark nipples and getting a loud moan from her "I think you want your belly to swell with my seed, don't you?" He whispers. He doesn't need her to answer as he feels her cunt clench onto his cock harder than it ever has as she goes over the edge "Ooooooohhhh yessssssss!!" She moans out as her sex practically milks Jon's cock.

He doesn't last much longer either and pushes himself as deep inside as he can go shooting rope after rope of his seed filling her. He removes his cock from her and lays down on the bed, Arianne places herself on his chest feeling content.

After a while she kissed Jon on the lips before getting up and getting dressed, she then heads back down to her cabin leaving Jon there alone.

Jon himself gets up putting on his small clothes and washing his face, when he hears a soft knock at the door. Thinking it was Arianne who had forgotten something he went and answered only to see Joanna who was holding her hands in front of her.

Daemon kneels down "Is something wrong, Joanna?" He asks her, Joanna is staring down at her feet when she gives him a little nod.

Smiling at her he brings her into a hug "Want to sleep with me tonight" he feels her nod into his chest. He kisses her head and lifts her bringing her to his bed before tucking her in and joining her. They both eventually drift off with Joanna hugging him tightly.

———————————————————

Joanna had nightmares a lot of the time, they weren't very scary but they frightened her a lot because in them this was all a dream and she'd wake up in Kings Landing. Her father had never come for her and she'd never have been taken on this adventure with him.

She doesn't want to be known as childish, she was a big girl and demanded to be treated as such, but she found herself crying every time she woke up from those dreams. Because she was so happy now, she was so happy her father had come home and that he loved her and wouldn't leave again.

So she found herself sleeping in his bed more and more often, Joanna wasn't stupid, she could tell this frustrated the big-boobed one whose name she couldn't remember. But she didn't care, he was her father and she had years to make up for.

This is why Joanna was happily spending the day with her father in Pentos, moustache man had wanted to leave as soon as they arrived but her father had said no. He had told him to fuck off and that this was Joanna's first time in a foreign city and that she should enjoy it. He then apologised for cursing and asked her not to repeat the language which amused her uncle Jaime.

"Joanna, here try this" she hears her father say as he hands her a fruit she'd never seen before, it's long and yellow, and he peels it back for her revealing a mushy centre. Joanna never one to back away from a challenge puts it in her mouth and chews, only to be hit with the familiar taste of the cakes she stole back in Kings Landing.

Her father laughs as he sees her violet eyes widen "It was the fruit they used to make the cake, they don't grow in Westeros but in Essos they are abundant" he explains as Joanna devours it.

Jon then looks over to Jaime "Oberyn and the rest are getting supplies and transport from their contact here, we should have a few more hours before we're ready to leave, so I offer you one last chance to turn back"

Jaime chuckles and smirks "Believe it or not I do want to be here, Joanna is my niece and I'd gladly cross the Dothraki sea if it means protecting her" he simply states.

Jon nods his head, he was glad someone of Jaime's calibre was protecting Joanna "Shame that you've been replaced as the father figure though 'Uncle Jaime'" he says mockingly as they walk through the market.

Jaime sneers at him "Maybe I should tell Joanna the story of how you really met Cersei, then we'll see who she likes more" his sneer turning into a smirk.

"Well maybe I'll tell her that you killed her Great Grandfather" Jon replied with his own smirk.

"Maybe I'll tell her that her Great Grandfather killed her other Great Grandfather and great uncle, and the gallant golden lion slew him saving everyone" Jaime replied in an exaggerated tone.

"Fine I'll just tell her that you're her stepfather" Jon stated with finality as he knew he'd won.

Jaime silently curses, they then both look back and realise that Joanna is gone.

"Shit!" they both shout.

———————————————————-

Joanna walked through the streets of Pentos with confusion, if they had this fruit in such abundance then where is the cake?

While her father and uncle had been arguing about stuff she had stolen his coin purse pretty easily and was now attempting to hunt down some of the rare cake. Though found that a lot of bakeries either shunned her away thinking she was a street urchin or did not have it.

This was when a large fat man with a rugged face approached her, he had seen she'd been going to the different bakeries and decided to take his chance "Hello little flower, are you looking for tasty treats" he says in a nasally voice.

Joanna looks up at him and nods then points to the banana peel in her hand "I want the cake made with this" she simply says.

"Ahhh well you're in luck as we happen to have made a fresh batch at my very own bakery," the man says in a fake tone. The man gestures for Joanna to follow him which she does.

As Joanna continued to walk through the streets of Pentos with the fat man leading her, she couldn't shake the feeling of unease that gnawed at the back of her mind. The man's thick accent and friendly demeanour did little to quell her suspicions, especially when he led her to the poorer districts of the city.

Her frown deepened as they arrived at a derelict building that appeared large enough to be a warehouse. Joanna's young mind quickly assessed the situation; she knew she was in a potentially dangerous situation, but she also knew she couldn't panic. Keeping her wits about her, she maintained her composure, not wanting to give the man any reason to suspect her awareness.

He gestured for her to enter the building, saying they would find the cake she desired inside. Joanna hesitated for a moment, her instincts urging her to turn and run, but she suppressed the urge, not wanting to raise any suspicions. With a deep breath, she followed the man inside.

As they walked further into the building, Joanna's surroundings grew darker and more ominous. The derelict walls seemed to close in around her, and her heart pounded with trepidation.

Joanna looked up at the fat man who had lost all of his friendly demeanour from before, instead having an ugly smile on his face, as he opens a locked door, inside is a room full of young girls and some boys. The man pushes her inside "Don't cause any trouble" he says severely before shutting the door, now the only light source was a single torch on the wall.

Joanna was pissed off, she considered that this might be a trap but she had hoped that she'd get the cake even if it was. But she had gotten nothing, she couldn't help but huff as she sat down on the floor.

She looks up at the children who were already in this room "Did any of you get any cake before you were thrown in here" While a good bunch did not speak the common tongue some did and replied to her.

"No"

"No"

"No"

"Yes"

"No"

Joanna's eyes widened, she stood up and went in front of the crowd, putting her hands on her hips "Not to worry everyone, I am Joanna an adventurer and Princess of Thieves, and I'm your saviour"

If a person like Jon had given this speech then perhaps the children would have been cheering and excited at the prospect of escaping however Joanna was a slender girl who was short and only four nearly five name says old, so needless to say they weren't feeling good about their chances.

But Joanna had a plan, one that she knew would work since it was her father who taught her how to do it "Okay! You! Start crying" She says pointing at a boy who just looks at her dumbly, so she walks up to him and pinch his ear, which starts to make him wail.

Meanwhile, Joanna squats by the door and opens up the pouch she got from her father before mixing a few things carefully "SHUT UP IN THERE!!!" She heard the man say which made her smirk.

She added to the wailing by doing it herself "WAAAAAHHHHHH" she screamed.

"ALRIGHT YOU'VE ASKED FOR THIS!" The man shouts as they hear his footsteps pounding on the earth making it tremble under his weight. Joanna tells the other kids to move away from the door as she grabs the torch.

As soon as she hears the keys jingle and the door unlock she throws the torch down by the door, it causes a minor explosion forcing the door off its frame and colliding with the man who had tried to unlock it. As the smoke and dust cleared all the children gasped and cheered at the open door as they ram outside stepping on the unconscious form of the man.

Joanna who was last to come out squats on the door before slapping the man awake, he groans as he feels his body broken underneath the door "Where is the cake" she simply asks with a menacing stare.

"You fucking bitch! Wait till I get up from here I'm going to fuck you bloody and then-" but he couldn't finish as Joanna poured a liquid on him that she had stored in her pouch.

"Stop using foul language! And tell me where the cake is! Or I'll light this Wildfire" she shouts back at him stunning him into silence.

They faced off for a time, as the man wasn't sure if he believed that she would light him on fire, though when he saw her stand up and go to reach for the remnants of the broken torch that was still on fire he quickly gave up.

"Ok! Ok! You win! It's upstairs in the pantry, please leave me alone now" the man asked feeling uneasy as the young girl smiled with fire in her hands.

"Thank you, Ser! It was a pleasure doing business with you" she says before running off leaving the man still unable to move.

Jon and Jaime were currently running around the city looking for Joanna, they had started to fear the worst as they were unable to find her in the richer districts meaning she could've been taken to the poorer districts, and Jon had spent quite a lot of time in Pentos knew of the rampant slave trade, though it was illegal it didn't stop people from doing it, sometimes merchants and nobles would hire criminals to run it on their behalf.

As Jon and Jaime moved quickly through the streets of Pentos they came across an unusual sight, it was Joanna on her own trying to move a small handcart but not succeeding. Jon ran up to Joanna lifting her into a hug "Where have you been? Why did you run off!" He shouted his voice full of worry.

She looks at him and then points to the cart "Went to find cake" as if that answer made everything okay.

Though Jaime found himself surprised at the amount of cake on the cart all in covered baskets 'She didn't kill and rob anyone did she?' Jaime thought to himself.

"How did you get this?" Jon asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Man said I could have it" she replied simply, Jon knew she wasn't telling him the full truth but to be honest he was just glad she was okay and the details didn't matter much to him.

"Father, I need more powder" she says holding up the empty bottles to him, reigniting his concern for what she had gotten up to.

———————————————————-

Jon and Obara sat in front of the wheelhouse that Jon had purchased. He had made some alterations to the axel to make it suited to the rough terrain, but it was worth it as he knew Joanna would have a comfortable place to sleep. They had attached the horses they were originally going to ride to the front of the wheelhouse, and Oberyn and Nymeria joined Jaime and Joanna inside. They were all set for their journey, and the wheelhouse began moving smoothly along the path, carrying them towards their destination.

As the wheelhouse continued its journey, the terrain gradually transformed before them. The path took them through rugged landscapes, with rocky hills and wild, untamed fields stretching into the distance. The wheels of the carriage navigated the uneven ground, shaking and jolting as they passed over the bumps and crevices of the rough terrain.

The weather was also ever-changing, as the sun played hide-and-seek behind the clouds. Raindrops occasionally pitter-pattered on the roof of the wheelhouse, prompting Jon to glance up anxiously, making sure they were well-protected from the sudden drizzles.

Amidst the challenging terrain and unpredictable weather, Jon couldn't help but notice Obara's scowl and occasional glares directed his way. He understood that she wasn't entirely thrilled with the idea of accompanying him on this journey.

As the wheelhouse rumbled onward, Jon tried to engage Obara in conversation, hoping to lighten the mood and bridge the gap between them. "You know when I was younger my father told me if I brooded that much I'd get stuck that way," he said with a genuine smile.

Obara grunted in response, still maintaining her guarded demeanour. Obara hated being out here with Jon but she hated relaxing in the wheelhouse even more when they could be set upon by enemies at any moment. So she reluctantly sat next to Jon staying vigilant and looking out for enemies. Though she could do without the incessant chattering that he insisted on engaging in.

"You know you should wear your hair down, I'm sure it would look rather pleasing if you did so" Jon said in a light tone with a smile.

Obara scowled at him "I am not here to sit and look pleasing to you, the only reason I sit here is that I think you're an idiot who won't keep a lookout for threats"

Jon winced at her harsh words and smiled sheepishly "Don't be in such a foul mood Obara, you know I've not seen you crack a smile even once this whole journey, try it" he asks

Obara's scowl intensifies, it was as if she was trying to set Jon on fire with her glare alone "I wish Father had let us kill you in Sunspear"

This makes Jon chuckle "I do not know why we keep you alive now, nor do I understand why Father is letting you keep Tyene's body" she shouts angrily.

Jon however isn't fazed and looks at her "I don't think you hate me... I think you mostly hate yourself" he states in a neutral tone.

Obara clenches her hands on her knees as her rage boils over "You are her big sister and yet you did nothing to prevent her death nor did you try to find her and bring her home, if you had she might not be dead" he continued.

Obara clenched her legs so hard they started to bruise "It is easy to read you because I feel the same way" Jon states making Obara look up at him.

He had a sad smile "No matter how much you hate me or yourself it will never compare to how much I hate myself"

"Tyene died because of me, I always think that if I had never gotten her to run away with me she might be happy, and any baby she might've had would not have died with her" Jon finished shocking Obara, no one except Jon and a few people knew Tyene was pregnant when she died, not even Oberyn knew so it was a shock, to say the least, that made Obara feel some guilt. She had projected her self-hate onto Jon because she felt like she failed as an older sister, she didn't even consider Jon had lost his love and his baby and had to watch it happen.

Jon wipes his eyes and slaps his face "I wasn't going to tell you this as your father asked me not to, but I plan to bring Tyene back and when the time comes Oberyn is going to help me as it will be dangerous however-"

"I'm coming as well" Obara simply states, she was never smart but she knew that if Jon was saying this then it wasn't a jest and that there might be a way to bring her back.

"We will be going to the Grey wastes and there's a decent chance we'll die" Jon stated bluntly.

Obara narrows her eyes at him "I am not a coward, I do not care if there is a risk"

Jon shook his head "I do not believe that you are a coward, but think of those who you leave behind, your sisters will lose you and so will anyone that loves you"

"That sounds hypocritical, your daughter is in that wheelhouse and you have two wives and family where we are headed, you'd leave them and risk death for yourself?" Obara replies

"For Tyene? Yes... at least Joanna will have her mother and uncle as well as her Targaryen family" Jon simply states.

Obara for the first time since she met Jon thought that she maybe didn't know him as well as she'd thought, to risk so much for Tyene even when she is gone, he must've loved her deeply. It made her reconsider how she's been acting towards him, if they had married they would've been siblings by law so perhaps she would give him a chance.

———————————————————-

After several months of travel through unfamiliar lands and diverse landscapes, Jon and his makeshift family had ventured across plains, forests, and mountains, mostly undisturbed by major threats or adversaries. They traversed through rugged terrains and unpredictable weather.

Finally, they caught up with the Golden Company, finding the mercenary army camped upon a vast hill in the expansive plains of the Dothraki Sea. The journey to this point had been both arduous and rewarding.

The sight that greeted them upon their arrival was awe-inspiring. The camp of the Golden Company seemed to stretch on endlessly, with over 10,000 well-equipped soldiers, and formidable warriors prepared for any battle that lay ahead. The horizon was dotted with the fluttering banners of the company, announcing their presence and might to all who beheld them.

As they approached the camp, Jon and the group were initially stopped by vigilant guards, who quickly recognized Oberyn Martell. The Dornish prince's reputation preceded him, and with a nod of approval, they allowed the group passage.

The sounds of the bustling camp filled the air, adding to the grandeur of the scene. Soldiers moved with purpose and determination, sharpening weapons, tending to horses, and training their skills. The atmosphere was charged with an undercurrent of anticipation, as the Golden Company brimmed with readiness for whatever tasks or battles lay ahead.

Jon lifted his young daughter, Joanna, onto his shoulders, and she gazed wide-eyed at the sea of soldiers and tents. Her excitement and wonder mirrored the emotions of the group, who couldn't help but feel both exhilarated and a little overwhelmed by the vastness and prowess of the Golden Company.

They were led to tents that they could use, they were large and spacious, not what Jon expected from a travelling army. He and Joanna would share a tent while Jaime would make use of a smaller tent next to theirs. The rest of Jon's party went off to their tents while Oberyn went to find Aegon.

Jon sits down on his bed placing Joanna next to him "Ah it's nice to have a bed after spending months in that wheelhouse"

When Joanna didn't reply Jon looked at her and notice she was biting her nails. Taking her hand from her mouth and holding it he grabs her placing her on his knee "What's wrong princess?"

Joanna leans her head into her father's chest "You said that my family are here... do you think they'll like me?" She asks in a low tone.

Jon kisses Joanna on the forehead "They'll love you just as much as I do, how can they not when you're just like me" he says with a grin getting one back from her.

"Come on let's go and find them" Jon said as he got up and took his hand in his own. He opens the flap of his tent and looks at the slightly smaller tent next to him. Jon made a note to make fun of Jaime later for essentially having the equivalent of a kennel placed in front of their master's home.

Strangely enough, finding Rhaella and the others was harder than he thought, though after asking a few of the higher-ranking guards they finally found the right one. Jon took a deep breath before he opened the flap of the tent and headed in.

He was almost knocked over by a small ball of fire, looking down he saw his wife Ygritte hugging him tightly and it made him chuckle "It's good to see you as well" he said kissing her head.

Looking up he saw Rhaella smiling gently from a table she was sitting at with Val. Daenerys had already stood up and had run to Jon hugging him tightly as well. Brienne stood behind Val and Rhaella like a guard which made Jon chuckle a bit.

"We missed you so much!" Daenerys cried out as she hugged him tightly. He could feel their slender bodies pressed against him, something he missed.

Val got up from her seat and walked over to Jon leaning over and kissing him on the lips "I missed you husband" she said with a light blush.

Brienne's heart beat fast as she looked at Jon, even in the months that he had been gone her crush for him had only intensified "Well met Jon, I'm glad you're back" she simply says.

Rhaella's heart soared when she saw that Jon had returned, truth be told she was having trouble managing things on her own and she knew Jon would take responsibility allowing her to relax "I'm happy to see you've returned Jon, who is this little one you have with you" she says as she stands up and walks in front of Joanna.

Jon after disconnecting from the bodies of Ygritte and Daenerys went behind Joanna putting his hands on her shoulders "This is Princess Joanna Baratheon and she is my daughter"

The whole room turns silent as his words echo through the air, Joanna being his daughter was the last thing they expected, however, Rhaella was the first one to recover as she smiled widely, before kneeling in front of Joanna "There are so few dragons left in the world I'm happy to know that there is another one and that she's as cute as you" she says before hugging Joanna.

Joanna feels the tension at not being accepted by her family melt away as her great-grandmother hugs her tightly. Daenerys kneels next to her "I'm your Aunt Daenerys, you can call me Aunty or Dany. It's nice to meet you" she says before pulling her into a hug as well.

Jon smiled as he looked a the scene before him, he knew his family would love Joanna but it was still nice to see it. As he was watching Ygritte went on her tiptoes and whispered in his ears "I've waited months... if you don't fuck me tonight I'm going to pin you down and do it myself" she says before biting his ear. Making him tense and horny at the same time.

Val who was close by chuckled as she heard what her sister-wife Val then turns to Jon and gives him a serious look "I and Rhaella need to talk with you Jon" she says in a serious voice making Jon frown. Though he nods all the same.

"Ygritte, Daenerys, Brienne can you please take Joanna and get something to eat, we'll join you shortly" Jon stated leaving no room for argument.

As they left Jon seated himself at the table as the girls did the same, finally looking at Rhaella he noticed how tired she looked "I'm truly glad you've returned Jon, it's been difficult keeping everything from blowing apart" Rhaella says in a tired voice.

"I don't think I would've managed it if Val hadn't been here to help me" she continued.

Jon is confused about what has been happening "What's been happening?" Jon asked.

Val decided to answer for her "We've been getting attacks from the Dothraki as soon as we set foot into the Dothraki sea, at first it was mostly manageable but recently it's been a lot worse" she explains getting a nod from Rhaella.

"From what we've found out they all seem to be from one Khal, a Khal named Khal Drogo, he is a powerful Khal with 40,000 riders in his Khalasar" Rhaella continues explaining.

Jon shakes his head in annoyance, he had warned them that this could happen and yet they would not listen "They should've taken ships to Qarth at least that way they'd have been able to avoid most of the Dothraki" Jon states.

"However this isn't your problem, so tell me how this issue relates to you" Jon asks as he looks at Rhaella.

"Jon Connington and Viserys have been trying to convince Aegon to make an alliance with the Dothraki" Rhaella explains.

Jon nods his head but finds the idea laughable, the Dothraki don't want anything we'd have.

Rhaella's face darkens at her next words "They wish to marry Daenerys to the Khal, therefore getting free passage and an escort through the Dothraki sea"

Jon's hands unconsciously tensed and he ends up cracking the table, he had warned Jon Connington what would happen if he tried to hurt his family. He was going to kill him. His anger was bubbling and about to spill over when Val placed herself in his lap as she liked to do.

Val places a gentle kiss on his face as she hums in pleasure, she pulls her face back and looks into his violet eyes "Be smart husband, like I know you are, don't let your rage blind you" She says to him.

Jon could see himself falling in love with Val, if he hadn't met Tyene then it's possible he would have already. Even after less than a year together she knows him well enough to curb his worst impulses.

Jon takes her hand and kisses it "Thank you, Val, I'm calm now, but I'm still pissed off" he states getting a smile from her in return.

Jon breathes out and calms himself "Don't worry grandmother I'll deal with this, thank you for looking after the family till I returned" he says with a smile as he stands up walks over to her and kisses her passionately on the mouth, something she eagerly accepts.

"Look after Joanna for me" he whispers, he gets a nod in return and he leaves her tent.

———————————————————-

In a large tent in the middle of the camp was a war room, this was where the leaders of the expedition and the Golden Company would plan their next moves.

Aegon sat quietly on his seat as the commanders around him argued with each other. Jon Connington argued with Oberyn Martell, his uncle while the rest of the people in the room quietly watched.

"Marrying Daenerys Targaryen to a horse lord for free passage is nothing short of an insult, the fact you suggest it makes me question your loyalty" Oberyn states with venom in his voice.

"You fucking Dornish cunt! I've always been loyal to the Targaryens, while you went around whoring and drinking I was serving the next king" Connington shouted back almost manically.

"Daenerys has little use to her family, Aegon will marry a Westerosi bride, most likely Margaery Tyrell" Viserys adds almost lazily as he took a big gulp from his cup of wine.

"Daenerys will be used to barter an alliance with Khal Drogo, that's the best way she can serve her family" Connington states once again.

At this moment Jon opened the flaps of the tent coming inside, upon seeing Jon Connington he immediately walks up to him and punches him in the face careful to hold back enough so he doesn't knock his jaw off. Some of the other commanders in the room stand up and some even draw their swords but Aegon raises his hand and smiles.

"It's good to see you've returned brother, I hope your time in kings landing wasn't too arduous," Aegon says in a soft voice, truth be told he missed having his brother here, he knew he could count on him when it came to giving advice, he proved that by predicting what would happen if they took the Dothraki sea route.

"I wish I could say the same Aegon, but I come back to find myself set upon with news that I do not like" Jon states with visible anger.

"Show the King some respect boy!" One of the commanders states as he stands up, this was Harry Strickland, the current leader of the Golden Company and almost as loyal to Aegon as Connington was.

"Calm please Harry, Jon is family he doesn't need to stand on ceremony with me" Aegon says with a smile.

It was at this point Connington had gotten up rubbing his jaw with a scowl on his face "It is what needs to happen, Jon, we are trapped on this hill the way forward is blocked by an army of 40,000 and if we try to leave the way we came we will be attacked from behind, Daenerys is a small sacrifice to make" he tries to reason.

Jon chuckles humourlessly "It's as if you wish for me to hit you again, Daenerys is not a sacrifice that I will allow"

"You are not the head of House Targaryen, it is not your decision" Connington states calmly his voice dripping in contempt.

"And what say you Aegon" Jon asks his supposed brother who sits there silently.

"I say that I should've listened to you in Sunspear Jon, but now we find ourselves in a very dangerous position, if there are no other plans or ideas then I'm afraid that I'll have no choice but to make an alliance with the Khal," Aegon says regretfully.

Jon finds himself incredibly pissed off and frustrated "You say you wish you listens to me before? We'll do so now, give me command of the Golden Company and I'll break their army," he says confidently.

Most of the commanders in the tent started shouting in outrage at such an idea, that this boy could achieve something they could not.

"Out of the question, we're only safe right now because we're fortified on this hill" Connington states as if his request was ridiculous.

"Fine, give me half and keep the other half here, I can still do it just the same" Jon states confidently.

Aegon sits there looking unsure of what to do until he looks at Jon "Aegon you say you wish you trusted my word before, then prove it by trusting me now" he says to him.

Aegon sits up and nods "Very well Jon, I trust you, you'll have half the army"

Jon nods his head in thanks and leaves the tent, now he had to come up with a plan as everything he said in there was mere bravado.

"5,000 vs 40,000 how hard can it be," Jon said to himself with a helpless chuckle.
