Back To You // Jorah Mormont (2)

22. Coward

As the gate opened at the wall it was a blizzard outside. they headed out snow so thick they could barely see what was ahead of them they were going to catch a white Walker. It seemed like forever when the snow stopped flurrying around them and the sun came out but it was still bitterly cold.

Jorah missed oceana already.

'My father was the most honorable man I ever met then he was butchered.' Jon told Jorah. He turned to jon pulling him from his own thoughts of missing oceana. 'Your father gave me this sword changed the changed the head from a bear to a wolf but its still yours. No one ever thought you would come back but now that you are back it's not right for me to have this.' Jon handed over his sword to Jorah.

'He gave it to you' Jorah told him but it would be nice to have a family heirloom to pass onto sanrogue when he was older.

'I'm not his son' Jon reminded him.

'I brought shame to my house' Jorah told him honestly 'I broke my father's heart I forfeited the right to claim this sword' he handed it back to Jon 'it is yours let it serve you well, give it to your children after you.' Jorah instructed.

'What of your legacy? Your children?" Jon countered and Jorah stared at him. 'I know how much oceana loves you. Sanrogue as well..." jon held it out.

"My father gave it to you."

Oceana hated the waiting. San was used to it being just them but still he didnt like his mother being this anxious.

"Mama you okay?"

"Just worried about your uncle sandor and jorah."

"He okay. Hes fighting the bad guys." San countered giving her a kiss. Then karate chopping at the heir. "Hiya!"

"I know. But i still worry. Just like i will always be worried about you."

Gendry dropped at their feet and Oceana knelt before him.

"What happened? Where are they?" She demanded looking around. "Sandor? Jorah? Where are they?"

"Found the walkers, the lot of them." Gendry wheezed. "Trouble."

"He's frozen." Oceana remarked throwing a thick blanket over him.

"Too many walkers." Gendry shivered out.

"Can you save them?" Oceana begged. Daenerys hesitated. "You have dragons use them!" Oceana demanded. "You want to be queen that involves taking risks."

"I dont answer to you."

"These men, my brother went out there for you and your reign-"

"For Jon not me." Daenerys corrected.

"You need the north to win. Well you can't get the north until Jon defeats the monsters, his sisters wont bend to you because I will tell them what a coward you are." Oceana demanded. Daenerys gaped back at her. "Now get on your fucking dragon and save them! Drogo would have never married a coward." Oceana added for good measure. "He liked me because i had fire. I had passion. I fought for family." She should have fought harder to stay but she couldnt risk sanrogue.

Daenerys marched off. Oceana could tell she struck a nerve. She was glad because it got daenerys to get off her ass and do something.

Then fire rained down from the sky. Daenerys. The mother of dragons had arrived. She gave them a circle of protection with the fire, her dragons killing walkers around them. She offered jon a hand but he needed to kill more of them. They were not stopping.

The night king approached as the rest of the men got on the dragon. They took their captive white walker pulling him up as well. The dragons scales radiated warmth. The night king readied his spear and launched it at one of the dragons, the dragon collapsed to the ground disappearing in the water. Daenerys watched her child fall. Her other two dragons screaming out for their brother. She blamed oceana for making her do this. Risking her dragons.

Oceana clung to jorah when he landed. Then she moved to sandor. He lifted her off the ground.

"Hey O," he shivered into her.

"I missed you big brother. I was so worried."

"Im right here." Sandor assured. Jorah took a knee hugging san. He smiled up at jorah.

"Mama was really worried. I told her you were killing the bad guys. You did right you got rid of them? So that way, she doesn't have to be sad anymore."

"Yeah buddy. We got the bad guy."

Jons clothing was peeled from his body. Crunching and breaking as the frozen clothing was removed.

'Im sorry' jon said when he woke up 'im so sorry-' he told daenerys

'The dragons are my children the only children I will ever have. we are going to destroy the night king and his army, we will do it together do you have my word.' Daenerys told him

'Danny I'm sorry about your dragon.' Jon told her softly.

'Thank you...' she said softly.

'I will fight for you. My queen.' Jon told her confidently.

If only he knew what a cowardly cunt she was, complaining about having to go save them, how she hesitated not caring for their lives and safety. Oceana wanted to declare but it didnt do them any good. They needed her dragons for this war of the undead. She would have to deal with this child that thought the world was owed to her.
