The Pirate and The Dragon

Chapter 64

"...ake....p...wake..up. Wake up my child!" My eyes open and all I can see is water. Where the fuck am I? I groan as I sat up, feeling my body ache as well as my head. Adjusting my sight, I see I was on a beach with water hitting my boots and the afternoon sun shining in my eyes. Looking to my right I see a cave, curious I walked over to it. Feeling a sense of familiarity with it. looking inside the dark cave, a flash of a woman covered in blood crying holding a babe close to her breast. The babe crying historically, it's little arms reaching up to its mothers face. Wanting to be closer to her mother.

"The day of your birth was the most beautiful day of my life, my little sea star." Turning around I see none other than Tia Dalma. Or should I say Calypso.

"If it was so wonderful, the why did you give me away?" I scoffed looking at her, feeling anger and bitterness towards her. She sighs and turns towards the sea. She didn't say anything for a while, as I walked towards her.

"I could not be the mother, you needed, I could not raise a child in this life. Specially when Jones hated me, I couldn't do this alone." She states looking out in the sea. Watching the waves build and fall.

"So you gave me away to a Pirate, how was that any better?" I ask looking out at the sea. My raven hair blowing wild, as the crisp air hit my face.

"She raised you, better than I ever could. Be mother, that I can never be." She says looking at me. I scoff and turned towards the docks, seeing a flash of my 'mother' picking up a babe wrapped in cloth. My heart clenched as I see the smile upon her face as she named me.

"How would you know, you were never there." I said with venom in my voice. A hand was placed on my shoulder.

"Oh child. You forget I'm the sea, I was there every single day." She whispered, when flashes of memories appeared before me. My first walk upon the deck, my first word, my first fight. To the night when Blackbeard killed 'mom', I went overboard and the sea carried me out. Next thing I know, the Black Pearl came into view and I was part of the crew.

"You took me to the Black Pearl that night. You saved me. Why?" I asked looking at her with confusion. She smiles and placed a hand on my cheek.

"I may not have been the one who taught you how to take care of yourself, or been your first word. But that does not mean that I wasn't there, watching over you, making sure you were safe." She stated caressing my face with affection.

"Then where were you when Jack sent me to Jones? My father, who would order his men to whip a child. When all she did was ask a question. Where were you when I was starved to death, when I pleaded and begged to be taken away from that hell? Huh?.....Where were you when my 'father' beated, whipped, and belittled me every second of everyday?! Where were you when he did THIS TO ME?!?" I screamed at her, showing her my face. My glowing sea green eye shining brightly, as scales crawled unto my cheek with my skin turning into light green. Barnacles growing from my lower cheek to my temple.

"Do you really think that I wanted this for my child? For her father to treat her the way he did?! As soon as I found out what he did to you, I wanted to rage all of my power unto him. But what could I do in a single form?" She defends, looking at me with heartbreak.

"You could've sent someone to help, or...." I said my voice failing me.

"Who do you think sent Barbossa to rescue you? You think he found all on his own? I risked my existence and yours, for you. My child, my blood, my sea star." She looks at my face with, not fear or disgust, but with guilt and sadness. With her hand she lift it up to my face, I flinch not wanting her touch. She gives me a sad smile before placing her hand onto my face. Suddenly, I feel the barnacles disappear and the scales leave. Turning away from her I look into the water to see my reflection. I gasp in shock, I... looked.... Normal. No barnacles, no scales, just my brown skin. Tears began to well up in my eyes as I look down at this face. This face, not the one where I'm known for, not the one that strikes fear into my enemies, not the one my Dragon fell in love with. Where she kissed it, caressed it, admired it, sat on it. Heh

"You know what's funny, even though I mention that my face was a curse. It's actually been a blessing, and thanks to a certain someone I can see that." I sniffed before smiling as my real face came back. Barnacles and all. I smiled before looking back at Calypso.

"I....I can't forgive you." She face falls as she looks at her hands. In which I grab them into mine.

"But I can try, after all I'm not my father or Mother." I smile as she laughs, gripping my hand in hers.

"No, you are better. Though I must warn you, the path ahead is filled with ice and blood. Jon Snow will come and warn you about it, listen to his words. But be warned, men can't be easily trusted." I smiled and nodded. I give her a hug, tightly wrapping my arms around her, as she does with me. Tears stream down my face.

"I'll miss you......mom" I feel her tense as I called her that, before tightening her grip. She pulls away and looks at me with a smile on her face.

"An I'll miss you. My little sea star." She says with her voice breaking, tucking a rogue piece of my hair behind me ear before giving me a kiss on the forehead.

"I'll always be with you."

I groan and moan as I'm pulled out of blissful sleep. Blinking my eyes to see that I'm in my room, well mine and my Dragons. My dragon, where is she? I get up from bed to see new clothes laid on a chair that was near the bed. Throwing the covers off me, I get up from bed, only to sit back down as I felt dizzy. Once the dizziness went away I got up and put on the new clothes. It was all black with a brown corset and guards. Matching with baggy black pants and knee height brown boots. After gettin my clothes on, I began to arm myself with my daggers, swords, pistols and knives.

After I got ready, I made my way to the throne room. Guessing that that's where everyone was. Until I heard a commotion coming from the war room. I quickly made my way to the war room, nervous that my dragon might be in danger. Walking into the room, making sure to keep with the shadows, I see nine people that gathered all around the war table. With my daring in the front end of it, like a queen.

"For decades, house Lannister has been the true power in Westeros and the seat of that power is Castlery Rock. Grey worm and the unsullied will sail for the rock and take it" the imp states as he knocks over the lion piece and replace it with the unsullied.

"That's a well thought plan, my lord." I announced making myself known in the room. My eye shining brightly, causing some scares here and there.

"But it's obvious." I stated walking in with my head held up high and my arms behind my back. Feeling great in a LONG time. My dragon sees me with a smile upon her face as she quickly makes her way towards me. I smile as I wrap my arms around her and hers around my neck. I pick her up and spin her, happy to have her in my arms. Burying my face into her neck, inhaling her scent calming me down. Pulling away, I look down at her with a smile on my face.

"You're awake, what happened? You've asleep for weeks." She states as I caressed her cheek with my thumb.

"I'll tell you later. Right now we got company"
