The Dragon in the North

The Journey to Winterfell and Arrival in Winterfell

The journey to Winterfell began for the group on a ship that set sail for White Harbor and carried no visible or identifiable flag.

"Lady Stark, it's getting dark. You should lie down. We'll keep watch and make sure nothing happens." "Thank you, Ser Flint. If anything should happen, please wake me directly. If anyone attacks us, the Silver Duo will pulverise them. Good night, Ser Flint. I wish you a peaceful night."

Nora Stark walked below deck, where she was greeted by a soft squeak.

"Well, little one, if you only knew what's going on around you." Daenys looked at Nora with wide eyes and stretched out both arms towards her. Nora took the little girl in her arms and blew in her face, which made Daenys laugh. She repeated this a few times.

"Now enough, you must sleep and so must I. Good night, Princess." With that, Nora put Daenys back in her cradle and it wasn't long before the little Princess fell into a deep sleep. Nora herself lay down next to the cradle and fell asleep relatively quickly.

The journey by ship took several weeks until White Harbor was finally in sight. After passing White Habor, the journey continued northwards. The group would go ashore near Cerwyn and travel the rest of the way by horse and carriage. The landing stage that the ship was heading for was getting closer and closer.

"Lady Stark, we will be docking soon, please put on your disguise and that of the princess." "Thank you very much, Ser Flint. We will be ready as soon as we dock."

With that, Nora went below deck, where Septa Ona was already waiting with a wide-awake Daenys.

"Septa Ona, Ser Flint has just informed me that we will be docking soon. Would you please change Daenys and put your cloak on yourself?" "Of course, my lady."

It wasn't long before Ser Flint came below deck. "My lady, we have now docked. Horses and a carriage are already waiting for us. We should lose no time."

So, the group disembarked and walked to the horses and carriage. Several men were already waiting for the group there.

"Lady Stark. We have been sent as extended support by your brother Lord Stark." "Lord Glover, your assistance is most welcome." "Then let us ride off. We still have some way to go."

The now larger group began their onward journey on horseback or in a carriage.

Nora Stark sat opposite Septa Ona, who had Daenys on her lap. "We'll be arriving in Winterfell soon. You'll love it there, little one. Septa Ona and I will make sure you learn all about your heritage. Oh, my nephew Cregan Stark.... He'll most likely want to show and teach you a lot." "As long as it's not too much nonsense." Both women laughed heartily at the thought of Cregan Stark and Daenys Targaryen making Winterfell unsafe. Daenys, who saw and heard both women laughing, took this as an opportunity to squeal and laugh herself.

The rest of the journey flew by for the women. It was good that there were no incidents along the way.

"Oh, look Daenys. This is Winterfell, your temporary home." Daenys, who had been lifted by Nora Stark so that she could look out of the window, squealed with delight.

Finally, the group consisting of Nora Stark, Septa Ona, Princess Daenys Targaryen and the knights accompanying them had reached Winterfell. As they rode through the gate, the Lord of Winterfell and his family were already waiting for them.

"Sister, it's good to see you again after such a long time. I hope you had a pleasant journey." "Rickon, it's good to see you. Our journey went without any major complications. There's just something. We didn't come alone." "I had already received a raven with a message from Princess Rhaenyra that Septa Ona and the Silver Duo have joined your journey. One room is already prepared for Septa Ona and the Silver Duo, well you can't prepare a room for a dragon, can you?" Everyone present began to chuckle and smile.

The Silver Duo had already found a cave near Winterfell, where they set up their respective nests.

"Rickon, I'd like you to meet Daenys Targaryen." "She's a beautiful baby. Look Cregan, it's our job to protect the Princess." Cregan Stark looked at the baby in his aunt's arms.

"I'll help protect her and be like a big brother to her. I swear it!" "Son, I think we can all imagine that. Nora, we've prepared the room next to yours for Daeny's." "Thank you Rickon. It's been a long journey; we'd like to retire."

The Silver Dragon had now arrived in Winterfell. Let's see what the future holds for the young Targaryen Princess.
