Aelora: The Magnificent

Chapter 15

Next Morning In Pentos

During the very early morning that gave such an exotic natural and fruity smell in the air. Aelora woke up and got ready and dressed a little more simple and chivalrous because this time in Essos she can't dress in big and beautiful dresses nowadays. But when she came down, the Prince had come home during the night's purges among the cities and tried to stop the traitors. Aelora welcomed back home and greeted a continued good morning and went to shake his hand with her good and first friendly ally she gained from a year ago. Prince Reggio took her hand and kissed it, bowing gracefully before his chosen Empress and savior. Lady Shishka and Lady Hanoya were already sitting at the breakfast table, smiling at her widely. Aelora must have made nice new friends and completely trusts her opponents who are fighting for Essos and not just for their own rights. 

A little later 

Empress Aelora walked with her guards surrounding her to protect her and show her safety through the halls to the war room where the Warden Of Pentos - Prince Reggio and all the other Wardens of Essos he had gathered to come up with his new strategies against this new enemy that wants to destroy everything in its path about Essos. Aelora approached the room. 

"Prepare for the attention - Empress Aelora Targaryen - Conqueror of the Conquered Worlds - Liberator of the Free People - The Dragon Queen of Westeros - And the Newborn Valyrian - The Dragon Rider." Reggio said and everyone bowed to the Empress and Aelora smiled easily at her remaining allies. 

Aelora approached the war map and her guards stood behind her as she waited to say something. Everyone looked at her. 

"How is Essos today?" Aelora asked. 

"Too bad Your Grace. Three kingdoms have fallen and taken over Yunkai, Lhazar and Astapor and the Warden of Lhazar cannot be with us due to his war injuries he received while trying to defend his country." Warden of Qohor told. 

"Unfortunately, he's in a bad place and almost half of his army is in the nursing home as well." The Warden of Pentos told more. 

"His people have had to flee the country and nobody really knows where they're going. But you take your chances and the roads are dangerous enough these days." The Warden of Qohor said more. 

"Which countries are taking more refugees so far?" Aelora asked. 

"It's very hard to say because all the kingdoms around the world are in danger and have the enemy everywhere apparently." 

"What does the enemy and its followers look like?" Aelora asked. 

"They can look like anyone unfortunately and it's very hard to trust people these days because they just turn up and clear out towns and people's homes." Reggio replied. 

"What do they prefer to do when they attack?" Aelora asked. 

"Kills and destroys everything in their path. Sometimes describes the people as pure savages in their behavior." Reggio replied. 

"Sometimes they take any woman and girl and rape them, even men and boys." Warden of Braavos told. 

"Gods. I've seen several tortures on people that can give people an eternity of vigilance after such a horror Your Grace." Warden of The Orange Shore. 

"But from what Prince Reggio has described, the kingdoms to the west of Essos lie and stand as well as possible but work together to prevent the enemy's army from entering further." Aelora said. 

"Just that and it seems to hold these killers well yet but it's not giving up at all. It's just waiting for an attack or when we're outnumbered or smaller." Warden of Volantis told.
