Natheriya was sitting in her chambers, crying on her bed. She hated her brother. She couldn't believe he would say those things that made her relive that terrible night. Well, she could. But she liked to hold onto denial over it. She heard a knock on her door and a soft voice speak.

"Nath?" The sweet voice of her sister came through the door.

Natheriya quickly wiped her tears and called out, "Come in." She flinched when she heard how small her voice was. She had to be strong for her sister and that meant that she could not seem weak. Their brother was not someone to look up to. Natheriya had to be there to fulfill the role of two siblings.

Daenerys opened the door and slowly walked into the room, carefully closing it so it didn't slam shut. She looked at her older sister with a slight frown before walking over to her and sitting down. She pulled her sister in her arms and held her tight.

"I'm so sorry, Nath," she whispered.

Natheriya shook her head, "Don't be. It wasn't your fault." She sniffled and pulled back. "It is late. Why are you not in your room asleep?" 

Daenerys looked down, "I'm scared for tomorrow. What if he does choose you? I would be alone and you would be stuck with Viserys and the Dothraki. What if they couldn't get to you in time to protect you from brother? What if-"

Natheriya shushed her sister by putting her hands on her shoulders, "Don't worry about tomorrow, not yet. The Dothraki are fierce and I'm sure the Khal will give me guards. Brother won't be able to do much, not when the Khalasar is breathing and riding their strong horses."

Daenerys nodded with a small smile, "Okay. I'm sorry."

Natheriya chuckled, "Stop apologizing. Now, why don't you sleep here with me. It will give us both some comfort." She laid down and pulled her sister with her. For the rest of the night, the two sisters laughed and told each other stories until they fell asleep, Daenerys hugging her older sister tight.

Atia scrambled around the room, making sure Natheriya looked perfect. She quickly brushed the Targaryen's long hair and braided a crown around her head. "You are calmer today, my Lady," the handmaiden observed.

"I stayed up with Dany a little last night and we had a wonderful time," Natheriya replied with a smile.

Atia smiled back, "I know, my Lady. I heard the two of you laughing."

"Were we that loud?"

Atia giggled, "Yes."

The two shared a look and laughed, but the laughter was cut short as a knock sounded from the door. "They are here! It's time to meet the Khal again!" Viserys yelled through the door.

Natheriya took a deep breath before standing up. She wore a light blue gown that was tight around her bust and flowed to the ground softly. It was simple, but beautiful. She looked at her handmaiden with a smile, "How do I look?"

"Beautiful, my Lady," Atia said with smile.

"All thanks to you."

The two females walked to the door and Atia opened the door. Viserys sneered down at his sister, "Hurry and get outside with Dany and Illyrio."

Natheriya glared at him before she quickly walked outside to stand with her sister and Illyrio. Atia followed closely behind her and soon, Viserys followed. They were met with the Khal and his bloodriders yet again. 

Khal Drogo looked over at Natheriya and took all of her in. She was his new wife. While her sister was beautiful, she is too young for the Khal. Natheriya was more exotic and he could tell that her birthing children would not be as painful. She was also fluent in his language and started to become a strong fighter after a tragic event, according to Illyrio. He could tell with just one look.
