The dragons bastard

Chapter 34: Ravens/Prepartions/war has arrived

Alicent was in the stages of arranging ravens to all houses to find king Viserys by order of the queen when Catherine walks "sister what are you doing?" Alicent look up as Catherine walk closer "trying to get the realms support on finding Viserys" Catherine sat down on the opposite side of the desk "if this Araforth person has the king in his grasp wouldn't we be adding him in keeping more secure" Alicent thought for a moment and sighs with stress undertones "your right it would be that kind of situation where we would lose the upper hand if Viserys is placed in a secure position then he is now, wherever that may, the realm would be in absolute mayhem if we can't find Viserys now".

Aemond walks into her chambers interupting Cathrine and Alicent "mother" Alicent immediately stood and went straight for a hug Aemond accepted his mothers care immediately god how he missed her embraces.
She looked back at him and signed "a lot has happened and Rhaegar is determined to beat araforth" Aemond nodded "I heard don't worry mother we will sort this out" Alicent nodded, Catherine walks over as Alyssa walks in "Aemond let me introduce my granddaughter Princess Alyssa of Essos" Aemond turns to face her "I have heard a lot about you from my grandmother and Alicent" Aemond nods "it's a pleasure".

Alicent looks at Catherine who nods "how about you two get to know each other for a while Aemond leaves the matters of the state alone for a while you need time to settle down after riding Vhagar for a long time" Aemond considers nodding and walks away with Alyssa towards the red keep gardens.

Aemond looked at Alyssa with slight suspicion but kept his nerve "so I hear you a strong swordsman according to your letters to your mother Alicent" Aemond nods his interest peaked slightly "I would consider myself one of the best but alas my half brother Rhaegar is superior in terms of swordsmanship" Alyssa looks at him "well if it's any consolation I think you are a as good as Rhaegar maybe even better then him" Aemond looks at her intrigued.

"you truly think so Alyssa" Alyssa chuckled politely at Aemonds Astonishment "I truly do believe so I may even be able to help you with my known contacts in the seven kingdoms and Essos" Aemond looks at her now incredibly intrigued by her and even a little bit aroused by her boldness and manners.

"and what help would that entail?" Alyssa looks at him smirking almost seductive to draw him in "anything you desire to make a reality or to prove wrong I can do instantly" Aemond considers her proposition and comes to a decision "okay I want everything you can give me"

2 weeks later Rhaegar has been planning on the company he will take with him on the journey, others houses are not to be trusted apart from the Greyjoys including Ragnar Greyjoy, Bjorn Greyjoy as well as Family including Aemond and Daemon as well as Ragnar's friend Alister Lannister after a couple of discussions, they all meet in Maegor's holdfast In the kings chamber since it's unoccupied.

"We will start our journey towards the Reach towards Highgarden to gather provisions and Supply's before we reach Highgarden. We will stop at Tumbleton to gather information as well as restock on horse supplies the lordly house of Footly should be satisfied in accommodating while we are there." Aemond looks at the map "I could mount Vhagar and see any trace of the enemy from the sky..".

before Aemond could continue Daemon responds "if you do that you will be an easy target and spotted instantly making the enemy now are location and Where to find us, unless you forget about how there strange black shadow soldiers are hard to kill" Aemond lip went open and closed but was too late to respond as Rhaegar spoke up "Daemon is right it's too much of risk and we may lose trace on the king or they kill him and we can't have that" Aemond surrounded to the decision of that moment.
Another hour went by as they continued to discuss and things were settled and Discussed when they get into a situation where they would need to fight when they encounter Araforth and his shadow army, with everything set in motion, everyone began to depart and gather their things and equipment.

Ivar Greyjoy was Hobbling around with his crutches towards the training yard as he was about to head down the steps he looked to his right and sees a women sitting next to Baela with bright white strawberry skin and brunette hair, wearing a red dress, that was similar to Rhaenyra's Dress when she was His aunt Alicent's age there was no doubt about it she was a Targaryen well a Velaryon but with the Targaryen name alright Similar to her Brothers Jace and Luke.
Deanys her Beauty captivated him to almost a heart palpitation, like his already crippled and fragile like psychic would collapse Upon himself, he masters the strength to go and speak with her, He grabs his walking stick and hobbles over to Deanys and Baela "hello Deanys, Baela"
The girls look up at him, Deanys gives a huge smile when she sees him, Baela rolls her eyes, she never understands Ivars need to prove he can be like his brother and father.
"I was wondering if you would like to walk Daenys around the gardens?" Daenys smiled as Ivar Nervously fiddled with one of his crutches "I would love to Ivar" Daenys made her leave from Baela and held onto Ivar's Arm laughing.
My favourite flower is the Red rose it's a Beautiful don't you think" Ivar responded "Yes they are, just as Beautiful as you Daena" Ivar blushed a red colour out of embarrassment that was not what he meant to say as he cursed himself, Daena chuckled and took Ivar by surprise maybe a bit of relief "thank you Ivar, your not too bad yourself" Daena blushed this time Witch of course made Ivar blush even harder and Daena's laughter grew.

By the next dawn of dusk Ragnar was about packing his stuff on his stallion ready to help find King Viserys wherever he may be in Araforth's grasp, Ivar was walking towards him "Father please I can help I may be a cripple but I'm just as a good fighter as my brother" Ragnar sighs and holds his shoulder "no Ivar your place is with Your mother I need to know she's safe while I'm away, your time will come, when you are ready" Ivar protested but was quickly snuffed out from speaking "your time will come when your ready, I now you can fight Ivar I watched your training with Alister, but not on this" Ivar nods sighing "understood father" with that he watched Ragnar riding beside Alister behind Daemon and Aemond with Rhaegar leading the expedition, these next few days and months will determine the fate of the seven kingdoms.
