Chapter Five

298AC

Slaver's Bay

The Sacking of Astapor was beautifully handled. The Unsullied turned on their Good Masters and then were pleased to release the slaves that had been badly mistreated. Kraznys mo Nakloz home was sacked by survivors and Visenya had her army. Valyrian and the others dragons were growing quickly on a healthy diet and freedom to watch the going ons around them. Dany had wanted to make a carrier for them, but Jace reminded them that when dragons were locked up, they didn't grow properly.

Visenya had allowed Jace to become the Commander of the Dothraki to give him some responsibility, then she met Grey Worm. He was one of the best in the Unsullied and it was him she had picked as a Commander, she explained she had something that could regrow body parts, it would give them their dignity back and allow them to have families one day if they wished it. In that moment, after he informed the others, the Unsullied became totally loyal to Visenya Targaryen and not because she bought them or pretended to.

When they had gone to Valyria, Visenya had found an ancient text about what dragon blood could do if it had been collected correctly. Pure dragon blood could bring someone back from the brink of death and would regrow body parts. After they had found the eggs, Visenya had been walking around, when the ground had given way beneath her dropping her into an underground cavern. Inside had been large enough for a full grown dragon to stand in, it had been filled with books and against one wall from top to bottom, were tiny vials filled with a red liquid. It had taken them six moons to figure out what everything was and how it worked or was made.

When she learned that the vials were filled with dragon blood, she was disgusted. Why would the Valyrian's bleed their own dragons? she had asked herself. Then they learned that the blood had to be willingly donated. There had been over six hundred thousand vials found. They had carefully wrapped them in padded cases and then filled five hundred heavy duty chests with them. The three ships carrying them had been sent to Pentos with a guard of fifty people loyal to her family to keep all of the treasures safe. They had taken a hundred chests with them into the dothraki horde, filled with fifty thousand vials and the dragon eggs.

Now she handed those vials out to the Unsullied. As she walked by them, they reached out stroking her arms in thanks and the Valyrian word for queen was being muttered, Dāria. Visenya Targaryen now sat waiting for ships to arrive, it had taken less time then she had expected to go to Astapor and then reach Slaver's Bay. She was tempted to siege Meereen and Yunkai to test the Unsullied in battle, but she decided against that because she needed her men alive when they reached Dragonstone and Westeros.

She was waiting now in Slaver's Bay for the ships to come. Varys had sent word that the Reach war ships had been mobilized and had departed a fortnight before. He also said the Theon Greyjoy had rebelled against his father and had taken one hundred ships to bring to her, but he had been ambushed by Stannis Baratheon and only half of the ships had made it out. He said that someone had snuck in and commandeered two hundred and fifty ships from the Vale and they had vanished, he suspected they were heading her way.

They had set camp around the beach after she had parlayed with the Masters of the city, letting them know she only wanted passage through because she was waiting for ships. On the condition the dothraki and Unsullied didn't kill anyone, they were allowed through. Visenya sat in an open tent facing the sea on a cushioned seat, the dragons flying around it and sitting on the stands they had taken from Astapor arranged behind her and the the left side of the tent. Valyrian, who they had come to call the King of Dragons as no one challenged him, was laid down around her watching everyone with deep purple eyes, and Sunfye, who had stayed practically glued to Visenya, was sat down by her feet. She presented an amazing picture of a Dragon Queen.
