the three dragons

when I left for vale, it was already summer again, so my mother left for kings landing at the same time. my father kept insisting that I needed a king's gaurd with me at all time, just the queen'sgaurd were not enough anymore he said. I could ask for recently knighted sir Arthur dayne, he was only 15 years old and already a king's gaurd and one of the best swordsman it there. I was suggested him due to our close age but I requested ser Barristan selmy. I needed a commander for my forces, not a single good sword.

even in my old life as William snow I had never commanded forces that were not brain dead or zombies of my own making. any of those dying as collateral was never a problem so although I have every theoretical knowledge on how to lead, I would much rather have ser Barristam selmy of kings gaurd lead. due to his previous exploits against pirates in nine penny war he was already a great inspiration for my troops. when I boarded the ships as gulltown, he was already aboard .

i had 30 military capable ships with rank 5 captain but I had to keep at least 10 back home for defence and patrol. my lower ranked units were already stretched too thin, with me having to make up for those numbers with hired crew to man the ships so they could dedicate all their time to gaurding. in any other time, all my captain's are never in deployment together, so I was always able to shift troops from one ship to another. but now, with me taking 20 captains of rank 5, 50 rank 4 lieutenant ,300 rank 3 and 100 rank 2 soldiers with me i had to make do.

ofcourse I have my birds scouting at high alert for any pirates and am capable of concentrating my forces at my command anywhere needed due to communication advantage from birds. I've even had a lot of them do their feet in poison in case I need to use Roro Zoro's MO in killing pirates to make up for lost numbers. already with the birds eyes I could tell that pirates were looking at my moves closely as I had made an enemy of them with my troops knocking down their parties again and again.

of my 50 total rank 4 lieutenants, 20 of them belonged to a special squadron of 5 teams of 4. this is my stealth team who give up their wooden plate armour for the ability to sink under water and sneak up on enemy. they also give up full coverage helmets for only covering head, over which on their infiltration missions they wear turbans or other head gear. they carry a sturdy back pack that when emptied can be used as shield and when used as back pack, it protects their backs.

they are some of my highest ranking units and go on most dangerous missions beyond enemy lines, so they have a standing order of turning and running away when discovered , with backpack protecting their turned backs in such situation. they also give up on spear that they trained in all their life for a discreet but long rapier with a walking cane like sheath. they can even use those sheath for parrying using their off hand of they don't use the backpack as shield. for survival gear, they give up the axe to be equipped with Kukri like Marchetti, also used as secondary weapon.

I sent three such teams in the night with mission of freeing the Nobel prisoners of pirates. I went with them because I knew that some of these nobles were in on the whole thing and weren't prisoners at all. my stealth troops use anesthetic chemicals to put those Nobel, who are not in prison, but their own rooms having fun, to sleep. on the way, they had to kill as many enemies that they can without being found out. the procedure was that two will kill, rest two will get rid of the body. they had a lot of ropes in their back pack to help them with this.

my other two stealth terms will act as auxiliary forces of these teams for this mission. I'm with them. I was keeping an eye(birds eye) out for, if any of my team's get detected, I can use these two teams to create a distraction. these distractions come in form of Alchemist fire, that all my stealth teams have a vial of to start a fire anywhere they want. but the auxiliary teams have actual flamethrower like devices for large enough quantities of Alchemist fire to start a truly big fire in very short amount of time. these two teams will also exchange personnel with other teams to provide replenishment and test through the night so they can optimally perform every time a team came caring a kidnapped Noble.

the mission goes relatively smoothly, ending with my team's kidnapping all the Nobles . each team had to make 4 rounds from the castel and back, made easier by reduction in gaurds each consequent time due to the killings. they actually had to bring some of the Nobles from prison. these were the ones dissenting against pirates. we were able to kidnap around 25 nobles only 7 of whome we had to rescue from prisons, while rest were apparently with the pirates.with only this team of 20 , we had already killed 300 pirate gaurds in the night, most of them well equipped.

before leaving, we put fire to the harbour and docked ships. this led to a magnificent fire that I'm sure would bring the Targaryen in me and my parents to climax.

although all the rest of my troops wear wood armour with Disruptive colouration camouflage, just like my ships are camouflaged with those, not to reduce ability to be spotted, but reduce the ability for any watcher to make out the outlines of the vessel and and it's speed, making it hard to target it without melee. this means that most of my enemies, on water will have to fight me in melee for any hope for victory.

so next morning I deployed my troops to tie their ships to shore at haste and start the conquest from the beaches. while a third of my group engages in melee in each Island, another third gives them archery support from behind them on land, while the rest give arrows support from ships with high Vantage points. it did not take long for the conquest and with me burning their ships, they had no way to retreat. nor did they have any Nobles to offer to bargain their freedom

once we rounded up all the fighting forces, we conquered the lands very easily. I made a blanket offer to every pirate of taking the black or they can work as my prisoners. a few took the black, but most knew better, they have hope to escape from here, but one they take black, only way to leave without dying is to become a wildling North of the wall. at least as prisoners they will get food, while there is no such hope that they know of North of the wall.

with help of my stealth team and my birds I surveyed my newly conquered land. I sent half my forces away while only keeping enough to keep the prisoners in line.i had a few maps and landscapes drawn up to help plan what to do with my new lands. I had started importing wood here for construction material to at least get things started. there was still a threat of pirates trying to come again, but my forces are already patrolling waters South of here, and this place will soon be included in those petrol routs .

I had my prisoners built deployable wooden walls, which I used to make 2 channel between 2 of the outer Islands(middle one and one closest to essos) . the water between these two is unfortunately wider than one between inner Island and middle Island, but much shallower as well. almost as if there was land between these islands but it caved in and sunk under water.

the inner Island(closest to Westeros) will be more like summer hall, a place for my family and it's friends to vacation in beautiful resort like location. so it's important that view from there, the other two Islands, is beautiful. I also wanted a place for my military encampment to train my forces in land , since dragon stone didn't have enough space for such facility.

already I'm sure my recruitment will pick up again when I try to recruit from other kingdoms of the seven. my rank 5 captian get rich every round of trade and need to give some bonus on good profit to their crew. my or the crown's role in their trade is almost as if we are renting them the ships and collecting tax in profit, the missions pay for themselves , while the Maws make good money by any standing army's standard, making their jobs most desirable.

I need to go back to kings landing to report everything and for my triumph. I'll be keeping ser Barristan selmy here to help with the projects I've layed out. there are three main projects to start with that feed into one another.

in the tallest Cliff side of each Island they are to create humungous crains who's exterior are then made to look like dragon head, with the cabels coming out of it looking like long toung. when the crane rotates left or right to pick or drop cargo from ships and dock. I was able to get some of the best engineers and artisans for these projects from Bravo's and even westerlands.

next project uses the wood walls made by prisoner pirates that were used to make 2 ,5 meter wide, channel between 2 exterior Island joining their edges. the 5 meters worth of width of them filled with a mixture of soil, sand and gravel and any left over s to stone from other projects. I've even discreetly added a ton of dragon bone powder and dragon glass powder in the mixture to be poured. then they will be covered with wooden planks weighting on the mixture. on these planks my army was taught to March, using their coordinated and synchronised marching steps as ram to compress the mixture. there will be some small openings to let sea water in and out. don't want to deal with stagnant water.

the third project is an extension of this project to have a similar 5 meter channel made of rammed earth completely around both exterior Islands. this road like structure will be quite a bit above sea level so as to function as a wall as well. it's main function would be to have more wooden docks attached to it growing/branching outwards. it's tertiary function would be as a road that goes around both these islands, connecting through the one made in between them.

once I had seen to the start of these projects , making sure the dragon cranes look majestic, making sure that my army marched in synch and correctly and when we had set up some temporary Harbor and docking for more workers to come from, I made my journey, with some of my warriors Back to kings landing, leaving Barristan selmy in charge with a lot of gold with promoise for sending more to help recruits any of the most talented workers, engineers and artisans that are to come there.

I was welcomed with all the fanfare of a war hero Prince and I was already beloved due to my music and my actions against pirates. my parents hugged me and berated me for not telling them my plans to conquer the sisters and I correct them.

I tell them that they will now be called the three heads of dragon collectively, individually they would be called Balerion, Vhagar, and Meraxes, after the three dragons that conquered seven kingdoms. as I tell them this I show them beautiful paintings of what they would look like in future, with main attraction being the dragon head crains. I also show them paintings I had painted of the burning harbours of three sisters, inspired my viewing it from multiple angels as my birds.I then asked if they would like to hear about my conquest.

seeing them agree in excitement, I start singing in low tone and whisper, without instruments ,setting up my conversation with Jon Arryn, making us both look good, making him seem like generous and powerful but humble lord who offered the three sisters to me for my coming of age. I then start the lute and sing of how pirates took over the sisters in Revenge for my 'Maws of dragon' putting a stop to their sinful way of life , at least near dragon stone.

when I sang about the 'Maws' Ferociously protecting merchants and my subjects from piracy, the Maws that came with me for triumph would roar in melody with me. I've sung with them almost every day, specially at sea where sea shanties were needed to not get bored through the day. the ones I brought to the court today were most harmonically gifted of my soldiers, specifically to give a great performance today.

I then sang about the fire we set to the harbours and ships, pointing at the paintings I had made of them inspired my many different view points, courtesy of birds eye. when describing the fire, my men started tapping their fingers to shaft of their spear without synchronisation to imitate crackling sound of fire.

I then started singing about the fight that came with the morning. the bravery and efficiency of my men as they tap their spears into the ground loudly in sync again to give me beats. I sang about Brave melee fighters that held the line, while my ground archers focus fired on any group of enemy they could target without risk of friendly fire. how my archers in ships provided direct support for melee with their better Vantage point.

I then end the song with how the sacrifice of three sisters in fire and blood gave birth to the three heads of dragons. pointing at paintings of what they will look like after I'm done with construction, with dragon headed (ram) ships docked there.

the court Rose in applause and tywin Lannister, hand of the king gave me a look that said he was very impressed, but annoyed that my song is sure to take over rains of castamare in popularity. I tell the court that the song is to be called rebirth of the dragons.

my father knights me and orders a feast in my name. in private my father asks me whereabouts of the king's gaurd he sent for me annoyed at his absence. I tell him it is his duty to gaurd me and my interest, and my interest are the three heads of dragons right now, I don't want some pirates to think they can take it if I didn't leave a capable leader there. I tell my father that after the fight either he could come here or me, but not both.

a year goes by with my projects coming along great, the 'maws' now recruiting from throughout the seven kingdoms. I can't give them tax benifits like at home, but each ship and soldier, in time of peace, makes up their cost with trade. on the seas there is nothing to do but wait for land and train, specially when being good at instructing is required to reach rank 5. now that I have access to better builders at the three heads, I've also had my rank 4 requirement increase to be able to build not only ships they sail, but also buildings, roads, fortification and siege engines.

I've visited the three heads often and the crains and docks were coming along great. it is already a trading hub between the North, Vale and essos while also bringing more trade to North and vale from riverlands and westerlands. the North is seeing a bit more traffic now since I've set up some food trade routes from essos in the name of William snow.

my mother got pregnant again when I turned 17 and this time gave birth to a healthy boy we named Viserys Targaryen, lord of summer hall. lord tywin threw a tournament in his name and I participated in jousting, beating any competition to the ground. I was asked to name my queen of love and beauty, Elia and Jenna were in myr with their regiment on trading mission and I couldn't give my queen'sgaurd the crown. so like a good son that I am, I crowned my mother as queen of love and beauty. it gave her flash back to how my old body crowned her the same and made her more sure that my old body is my father(not true, Aerys is my father).

lord tywin requested me to take 10 year old Jaime as my squire, but I told him that I would only do so if cersie would squire to Elia, whome I had knighted with my authority as lord of dragon stone and dragon heads. i told him how it would help me with propaganda of recruiting more women soldiers.

he asked why would I want women in my army with annoyance and I told him that warrior women are my kink( my preference in women) and if I'm the Prince, why would I not build my kingdom to my liking and preference. he had already tried asking my father to make Jaime my squire and was refused. so if he really wants to then only way to achive that is through cersie becoming Eliza's squire.

I even told him that i had a similar offer set up with lord stark (my old body's father) ever since i ran a recruitment campaign in bear islands who are famous for they warrior women. lord stark didn't want a navy but the bear islanders were constant targets for wildling raids, and some iron-born raids disguised as wildling raids. so with his permission and permission of lord mormont, I set up an encampment/outpost on bear islands. I used this outpost to not only train northerners that want to join, but even some of my other units are sent there to get a familiar with fighting in cold.

while there, lord stark asked me if I would take one of his sons as squire while presenting me Brandon and benjen, Ned was still at vale after all. I offered him the same thing I did to tywin , if you want me to put effort into training your children(even if they are my step siblings), you will have to help me promote my ideology of wanting more women warriors by having your daughter squire as well.

he agreed considering lyanna had what he called wolf blood, she was ferocious and often snuck into training grounds with her brothers. I wanted to give them time to say goodbyes and considering tournament was already announced, we decided to start the squireship after it. now benjen stark is my squire and lyanna is jenna tyrell's squire. hearing this tywin had to agree or risk losing the chance to have any influence with me, specially considering what I was offering will give him influence with Martells as well.

after tywin I met up with Starks and I could finally meet all three of my old parents again. my old mother acted as handmaid for lady stark, and stark children thought of her as another mother, hence she could sit at our table when I shared a private meal with Starks to celebrate and finalise benjen and lyanna's be squireship. since jenna was a knight in my service, I could take lyanna as my ward until she comes back from myr.

when hoster Tully found out about both lanisters and stark having sons as my squire he came being me to take his son Edmund as squire as well. now I don't want an army of squires for myself, but he would surely take it as an insult, so I repeated my offer I made both lords before. he was unsure about it at first but to get closer to me and a have a chance to have one of his daughters seduce either Jaime or me he did a classic 'too much' move and said that he will have both his daughters squire with my knights if I would have them.

if I accept his offer than all of his children will be with me and when Edmund takes his place, no one will respect him for not having lived in riverlands. I made him a counter offer pointing this out and saying that I'll take both his daughters in my army if he still wants it, of rather have just one if that's possible, but for Edmund to have any clout as a future lord, he needs to be raised further in riverrun.

I told him of my grand plans of updating the kings road and that I'm open to him hiring my army to update roads as well as sponsoring 50% of it. it was basically a 50% discount, but I'd be working at a loss here. but I want my soldiers to have experience of working in and traveling in marshes. they are of course soldiers, so they will be taking Mercenary (bounty) jobs against bandits and such throughout riverrun to help.

I tell him that Edmund can have the representative of riverlands role in that project. building the road will bring us to every hold in the kingdom of riverrun. he can cash in the credit. he will learn with knights in my army and will learn more about lordship than war and that too without him having to be away from his father for too long.

he hated the fact that I was willing to take both his daughters but not his son as squire but he benifits the most here. I'm able to give these benifits to him because money is not something I care to much about. I have a world dominating kingdom's wealth at my call and as Prince of seven kingdoms, I don't have to pay taxes so no one really knows how much I make with trade. I'm gonna use this to build infrastructure to help make this world a little more convenient. Bran the builder might have to take a backseat to my infrastructure glory. just like one day my ancestor Aegon the conqueror will be a footnote to my history.
