Jon approached a stream quietly, where a woman was seated, dipping her feet in the water while contemplating the nature of the place. She seemed thoughtful as he approached, sitting down beside her. She turned to him with a smile.

"Jon..." She murmured.

"How are you, Seryna?" He asked, and his gaze went to her belly.

"I'm fine, just contemplating the first rays of the morning..." She said calmly and moved Jon's hand to her belly. "Do you feel it, Jon? Our son is growing inside me." She spoke with a certain emotion.

"Are you asking me that?" Jon smiled, sealing their lips with a kiss.

"What do they call you again? Druid..." She said, rolling her eyes. But then she smiled again. "So, Mr. Druid. Our first child is a boy, isn't he?" She looked at him expectantly.

"You're right, how do you know?" Jon could feel the life inside Seryna growing every day.

"Don't doubt a mother's intuition." She laughed at the comment.

Jon just gave a small smile, still looking at her while keeping his hand on her belly. "Do you want to make the journey?" He asked.

"I will make it, don't worry about me, I can handle it." She said with determination, and Jon nodded.

He spent some time with his wife, talking about the child. Jon seemed less excited than Seryna, who spoke joyfully about the child, but that did not make him feel any less love for the child. He just had a more serious demeanor after managing a kingdom and its upbringing for 5 years, almost 6 years.

After a while, duty called him with a meeting that the council wanted to have in the senate. He bid farewell to Seryna with a kiss on her lips and another on her belly, before asking Wind, with two babies, theirs, who was passing by to keep Seryna company.

Jon mounted Eragon, who descended from the sky next to the sacred grove, and flew to the north side of the city, landing at a dragon landing site, like the Dragonpit in King's Landing, but in Arctica there were at least 8 of them, some under construction, not to imprison dragons like the Targaryens did, but as a place for Eragon to land and rest when he could, maybe if he could bring more dragons into the world, Arctica could have a sky with more than one dragon, making the kingdom even more magical.

He got off Eragon while being greeted by some people who admired the place and went down to ride his wolf to the senate. He entered, and almost everyone was already present. The place was quite large, but they occupied a small area, as there were few people at that moment, besides the council, being composed of Jon, as King, Aemon, as the educational minister of the kingdom, Brynden, as the civil minister, Thor as the minister of construction, Ducken, minister of war.

There were other ministers that Jon had appointed over the years, which are:

Minister of Finance and Treasury, Gavron: He was an elder of a tribe of the Free Folk before arriving in Arctica with his group. In charge of the kingdom's finances, Jon had taught him about managing the wealth of the kingdom over these years after seeing potential and honesty in him. The 50-year-old man learned about the value of money and how important it is for Arctica in relation to the outside world, since the people of Arctica still do not care much for gold.
