Highgarden

Olenna Tyrell for all intents is the queen of Reach, she might not have a crown but she ruled here like a rose, sometimes sweet and beautiful and other times like thorns piercing anyone who stands in her way

But for the past few years she is facing a problem that no one seems have the answer to,for the last 7 years some incredible things are being sold around the world and all of them only came with only one word printed on them "Dracarys" she has no idea who was making them or where they came form?, But all their things are incredibly good and very expensive only sold to the rich, it started with that red wine it was the most incredible wine she ever had, Highgarden still buys it whenever the wine appears in the market

But it didn't stop there they started selling pearl jewels,which are incredibly hard to find and now their latest cream that hides wrinkles and makes the skin look younger, she herself used it and her face at least looks 20years younger, suffice to say she buys these products everytime they come in the market

As one of the wealthiest house in the seven kingdoms she understands the importance of gold very cleary, even a fool can see that this "Dracarys" and the people behind it are earning gold from all over the world but she has no idea who they are, the Velaryons are involved but they are just the middle men, all of this gold could be used against House Tyrell or with it, so she finally admitted defeat and called the spider to Highgarden

"My lady you look younger and more beautiful than ever, you must tell me your secret as you see time has not been kind to me like you" the eunuch can flatter anyone and make it sound sincere

"You know exactly why I look younger, the new cream is simply magical all the highborn ladies are going mad over it,but I am more interested in the people behind it ,'Dracarys' I want to know everything about it and information is your trade"

"Yes my little birds know a few songs about that but such precious songs cost high my lady, I heard Lord Mace recently bought 20 barrels of red wine , a barrel or two seems like the right price don't you think so my lady "

Damn Varys does he even know how much a barrel cost of that red wine, he is no different than a thief but I have nothing on him

"3 barrels of red wine but you tell me everything"

"Of course my lady , 'Dracarys' a valariyan word meaning fire , according to my little birds the red wine is made at the red temples all across essos and traded through middle men like the Velaryons, the name is honour of their lord, that's all I know, you know no one can make sense of zealots and fanatics, but I should caution you my lady not to antagonize them, thieves who tried to steal from them were slaughtered like pigs, pirates who attacked their ships had their hideouts and ships burned to the ground, I know you are thinking about the gold there making but you don't need to worry about that because most of it used to make the wine and other products, their profits while significant are not even a tenth of what you are thinking"

Great Zealots are making the best wine this world has every seen, what's next are the dragons coming back, according to the spider red priests won't be an issue but how much I can trust him is a whole different issue

Somehow I can't help but feel like a player is making moves that no one is able to see but is affecting everyone, she can feel it in her bones things are not what they seem but she hasn't found anything not even a thread that something is happening,she has to be ready from all sides

Dorne

Sunspear

Qberyn was enjoying a Lys girl and a dornish man when is brother Doran sent for him, his brother was a patient man so something major must have happened for him to disturb my activities

As he reached the room his brother seemed a little agitated today which never happened usually "Bring it in" Doran said as I sat in the chair in front of him and a few men brought a body of a huge man in the room, it was still in the armour but hands were twisted and covered in dried blood, the face was also completely smashed in

Even when the face was horribly disfigured he recognised the man, this was the man he dreamt of killing everyday but someone beat him to it

"Yes it's the mountain Gregor clagane , some northmen came and dropped him here today" his brother said to him

"What happened?" he all but yelled to his brother

"The mountain challenged Jon snow ,Eddard Stark's bastard in his own nameday celebration and you can see the results, there are rumours that Tywin sent the mountain to kill the boy but we don't know anything for sure, the boy sent the body to us to pay for the mountain's crimes against dorne"

"What am I supposed to do with this, I should have been the one to kill him for Elia not some northern boy, I will go to the boy and make him understand what he took from me"

"You will do no such thing, the entire north stands behind that boy, he is stark all but in name , the boy did us a favour the mountain was just a dog for Tywin, the lions and the wolves are enemies now, we can use this to get our revenge but you need stay still don't go making enemies out of allies, the white wolf could be our key to get the old lion"

"Okay I will wait for now but beware brother my patience is wearing thin ,I will not sit by and let someone else kill our enemies"

Doran can sit by and just think about revenge but I will not let this slide , it time to see what this white wolf is made of, its been a while since he enjoyed northerners
