A new destiny

Chapter 16 | Daenerys

"Please let everything go well" I mentally pried as I watched the Unsullied running towards the main gate of King's Landing. I turned back to check on Jon and I saw him with Rhaegal hiding a few miles away from the city as we had originally planned. "We will have a talk you and I" I silently vowed "I'm tired of your attempts to keep the pain you feel for yourself. Time to tell you how I feel for you, I don't care about the identities of your parents". My ruminations were interrupted by a sound coming from the walls of the city. I looked towards them and I saw the forces of Cercei preparing catapults to use against my forces. "No, no, I have to do something" I said but before Drogon moved, I saw Rhaegal with Jon on top of him flying towards the walls of King's Landing. The enemy saw Rhaegal and made an attempt to hit him but my son was faster than them and incinerated them. "That's it" I thought in satisfaction, a grin depicted on my face "I'm glad the armor we made for my children is light enough to let them fly quickly". I focused my attention back to the Unsullied and I saw them using a ram to open the gate of the city. "I hope Grey Worm will be quick enough to force the entrance open" I silently pried as I watched my soldiers hitting the doors of the city again and again. I turned my attention back to the walls and I was horrified when I saw Cercei's soldiers preparing crossbows which were pointed towards Rhaegal and Jon. Knowing what was about to happen, I flew with Drogon towards the menacing weapons; the soldiers saw us but it was too late for them and with his tail, Drogon smashed the crossbows. "Go to the right side Drogon" I said and my child did as I told him; I soon realized Cercei's forces had prepared many catapults and crossbows to use against my armies and children and without wasting time, I let Drogon destroy each of them as fast as he could. A roar from behind made me turn and I saw Rhaegal and Jon doing the same on the left side of the city. "Yes Rhaegal, do not hesitate" I thought with satisfaction as I saw my other child doing the same work of his brother. I turned my attention back to the area of the city I was dealing with and I kept destroying the menacing weapons. The enemy however didn't want to give up so easily and soon other catapults and crossbows were brought on the walls. Realizing they were too many, I let Drogon fly away from the walls and I saw Jon doing the same with Rhaegal. I battle cry came from the ground; I looked down and I smiled broadly when I saw Grey Worm and the Unsullied entering in the city. Determined to end the battle as soon as possible, I flew with Drogon inside the city as well, Rhaegal and Jon already ahead of us. "This siege has lasted for too long already" I reflected "The sooner we force Cercei's army to surrender, the better".

"Yes, run you fools" I thought as Drogon kept incinerating Cercei's soldiers on the ground. The common people who were in the city in that moment, ran everywhere as they desperately attempted to find a place in which they could hide. I turned back for a brief moment and I saw Rhaegal and Jon doing the same on another sector of the city. The Unsullied on the other hand kept marching in the city, killing any soldier who dared to stop them. "The siege must finish soon before common people start loosing their lives" I reflected as I watched the common people running everywhere and yelling, such was the terror they were feeling in that moment. Suddenly, a roar came from the right side of the city. I quickly turned only to see Rhaegal doing a complex maneuver to avoid a firing stone which had been thrown to him; Jon tried to keep his balance on Rhaegal's back but the movement my child had executed was too complex and Jon fell from Rhaegal. "JONNNN!!!!!" I yelled and encouraged Drogon to fly towards Jon; unfortunately we were prevented from doing so by another firing stone which was thrown to us. Drogon dodged and managed to avoid it at the last second. "I hope Jon managed to survive the fall" I desperately pried as Drogon kept wondering around the town. A was cry coming from the ground forced me to turn my attention from Drogon. I looked on the ground and I was amazed when I saw an enraged Jon Snow charging Cercei's soldiers who blocked his path. Grey Worm and the Unsullied followed him and my astonishment grew when I saw the enemy's forces dying one after one at Jon Snow's hand. Suddenly Rhaegal came from nowhere and flew close enough to the ground in order to properly incinerate the few soldiers who had managed to avoid Jon's blade. "This is not Jon" I thought horrified as I watched Jon Snow killing whoever crossed his path without a moment of hesitation "I have to stop him before he does something terrible". Deciding to put an end to Jon's and Rhaegal's rampage, I directed Drogon to the ground; once my child landed, I quickly descended from him and immediately went after Jon who had finally managed to reach the Red Keep. While I ran, I saw a familiar figure racing as well towards Cercei Lannister's palace. "Arya?" I called and the girl stopped in her tracks before turning back to me. "What are you doing here?" I asked, wondering how the young Stark had managed to reach King's Landing. "I have an unfinished business here, your grace" Arya Stark answered "I'm here to put an end to Cercei Lannister's life". "Your brother has your same intentions" I said as we both finally reached the Red Keep. "He is right in doing so" Arya Stark replied, rage printed on her face "That woman caused enough suffering to our family". "She must stand trial" I simply said "I know she is responsible for the deaths of many people here in Westeros but...". "If you know, then you also know why Cercei Lannister must die immediately without a trial" Arya interrupted me and without wasting further time, she entered in the Red Keep; knowing there was only one way to let Cercei live a bit longer, I immediately followed Arya Stark.
