Daenerys POV
   We have been traveling through the red wastes just over a fortnight. We where forced to flee to this desolate place by the lhazareen to the south, rival Khals to the north, and our biggest and immediate threat the now Khal Pono and his khalasar of ten thousand. Finally found shelter in the ruins of a once great city, I named the city Vaes Tolorro meaning the city of bones. It was a shell of what once stood there filled with many narrow alleyways, empty courtyard and inception gardens, and crumbling walls and buildings. Drogon, Rhaegal, and Viserion have grown during our time in the red wastes. I have come to see them as my children, and they have become attracted to Jon almost instantly. They listen to Jon and play with Ghost like younger siblings would a older sibling. Being with my children has given Jon something other to think about besides Doreah. Doreah died not to long ago from wasting disease we all grieved but Jon... he still morns at the loss, he hasn't taken another to his tent seance. But what I morn for the most was the unborn child Doreah carried within her. Jon doesn't know that he was going to be a father.
  Silver died today, she was Drogo's wedding gifts to me. I was brought out of my grief when Ser Jorah entered my tent. "Khaleesi Jhogo has returned and has brought guest with him." "Thank you Ser Jorah, go retrieve my nephew." Jorah bowed and left my tent. Not long after Jorah walks and tells me that Jon is just checking our defenses and will be hear shortly and that we should start with out him. I motioned for Jhiqui and Irri to escort our guest inside. The first to enter was a man that looked languid, but a elegant man with a bald head and a great beak of a nose which is crusted with rubies, opals, and flakes of jade, giving him the aspect of some strange glittery bird. His fingers are long and elegant. Next was a tall slender man with a long neck, bald head, blue lips, and blue fingernails. Last to enter was a unusual woman, she is about my height. She had a pretty figure from what I could tell from the closely rapped garments she wore. But what made me wary of her was that she wore a wooden mask that was painted red with intricate ruby designs on it, with a ruby at the crown of the forehead. You could see her wet and shiny eyes as well as her mouth but the rest of her head was rapped in a headdress that framed her masks and covered the remaining of her chin to breast. The sickly looking man decided to speak first saying "Khaleesi I am honored to finally meet you. My name is Xaro Xhoan Daxos and I am a member of the council of thirteen one of the three ruling factions of the Greatest city in the world Qarth. To my right is Pyat Pree he is also a member of the thirteen but is also a warlock." The Paul bald man smiled and showed his blue stained teeth from drinking nightshade. Then Xaro continued" Lastly we have Quaithe of the Shadow, she is hear as a representative of the followers of R'hllor." She bowed her head and then Xaro began to speak again "Dragonmothethe we wi-" Xaro was interrupted by the tent flap opening and Jon stepped into the meeting. He looked different from a month ago instead of his clean shaven face and braided hair, he now looked almost dead to the world he had lost Doreah but the worst of it came from a passing caravan he learned of Lord Starks murder. He loved the man as a son would love a father. Once Jon sat down and started to study our guests. "As I was saying before I was interrupted we wish to extend an invitation to you to come and sample all that Qarth has to offer." I studied them for a few moments then said "Jorah have everything made ready we will leave immediately Qarth." All three of our guest seamed pleased with my decision, red priestess seamed pleased when Jon entered the tent and her eyes have stayed on Jon the seance.
   Jon POV
  This place seamed to perfect, the people to nice, and the faces altogether false. Daenerys doesn't see it. She thinks this grand city will give her what she longs for the most, but it won't it will give what it can then these people will own her. They will learn that as soon as Daenerys gives the word I will show this place of lies that no one can own a dragon. I'm drawn out of my thoughts when hand begin to wrap themselves around my chest and I look back and see her. "What can I do Khaleesi?" I asked. She nuzzled her head deeper into my back and asks "What's wrong Jon? You haven't been your self seance Doreah died and when you had just began to seem like your old self seance you learn of Lord Starks death. I just want you to come back to me my knight...my prince... my King." The last part I almost didn't hear for how softly she said it. I pulled her hands from around my chest and pulled her around in front of me and wrapped her into a tight embrace and said " I will always be with you.... my Queen." She looked into my eyes and then embraced me more until there was a knock on the door. We separated and straightened our new cloths that was given to us by Xaro Xhoan Daxos. Daenerys wears a purple qartheen dress with her right breast bare. I ware more of the traditional westerosi dress with a black silk and red leather jerkins with black trousers and black boots. I had finally shaved my face smooth and cut my hair short for the first time in a year. "Enter!" I said. The door opened and Jorah was standing in the doorway and said "Khaleesi, Xaro has decided to host a party in your honor. He probably sees this as his chance to further his own influence in the council of thirteen." "I agree with Ser Jorah, we should be thankful to Xaro Xhoan Daxos but we should be on our guard. We do not know them thus we should not trust them." After we all agreed we headed down stairs and began to mingle with the other guests. I notice the fire priestess with the crimson mask with a bizarre headdress, was talking to several other guests as well as other priestess's and priests of their order. I turned around and try to make my way from anywhere near them until I heard a familiar voice say "My Prince it is good to see you again and in far more appropriate clothing befitting your station." I turned around and my face paled as if I had seen a ghost. I feel like something bile rise to the back of my mouth. It was Lady Melisandre, she looked as if she didn't age at all sense our last visit at Vaes Dothrak. "My lady Melisandre it's an honor to make you acquaintance once more."I said as she bows her head in a sign of reverence. She then says "I is as I had foretold that we would meet hear where east meets west." I chucked and said " Yes, you did say that but you forgot to mention that Drogo, Rhaego, and Doreah would die!" I said with much anger and sadness. She looked at me with sadness in her eyes and said "If I would had warned you, you would have tried to stop it. Both you and the princess need it to happen so you could learn from it and grow stronger." I turn around and begin to walk away and then she says "All that I do it for you my prince and I will always be your faithful servant." I left the party rather quickly. As I sat on my bed and began to prey to the old gods I heard a knock on my door. When the door opened it was Daenerys. I straighten my self and asked "Is there something I can do for you my Queen?" She looked at me with sadness and then said I am giving you one command Jon take a paramour like I have done." I could see that she was serious and I nodded and asked "Who do you recommend?" She snapped her fingers and both Irri and Jhiqui walked into the room. Daenerys then says "You will take one or both into your bed." I start to argue but she stopes me and says "please Aemon. She touches my face and before she could walk away, I grab her hand and pull her into my chest and took her lips in mine. We only break away for the need of air. I pull her close and say "Your all I need Daenerys." She stays in my arms for a few moments then pulls out of my arms and leaves with out saying a word. I was left standing there heartbroken at the rejection. I did the only thing I knew to do... I waved for both Irri and Jhiqui to come to bed. I took both of them like a king would do... like a dragon and a wolf would. They screamed to the top of their lungs. I wanted to make Daenerys realize what I could do and make her want it as well. After I was through with Irri and Jhiqui I sayed they should come whenever they wanted more, I then let sleep take me.
