Before I was Heda

We all Fall Down

Today marks seventeen years. Seventeen years since I gave birth to my daughter. Oh how I miss her face I wonder what she's like. I look up at the night sky wondering if she still looks up to the moon to remember me the way I do for her a tear falls down my cheek. I suddenly feel warm hands wrap around my waist I lean into their warmth. He kisses the top of my head and wipes away my tears. Twelve years ago Titus took her away and Ive regretted it ever since. A lot has happened in the past twelve years. Two years after Lexa left I concurred Westeros with my army. Although the victory did not last long Cerci Lannister rallied quite the retaliation to take back the throne. I did not fear her and I still will never back down from my birth right. For I am Khaleesi mother of dragons. Tyrion Lannister and Jorah decided that I'd be safer if I returned with Jon Snow to his home in winterfell. I was hesitant at first but somewhere during our meetings Jon and I became rather close. We traveled from Kings landing to Winterfell. Which is where I now reside. (Dany what are you thinking about?) Jon whispers in my ear. I turn around in his arms to face him. Today is Lexa's Birthday she would be 17 today. I say with a bit of a melancholy tone to my words. Jon pulls my closer to him and hugs me tightly. (I'm sure you will see her again. If I was a gambling man I'd bet that she's looking up to the moon right now thinking of you.) I can't help but smile Jon always can cheer me up. I Think I may be in love with him. Drogo will always have a part of me but it's been fourteen years since he left this earth. With Jon I feel like I can love again. I kiss him on the lips and pull out of his arms. (Dany. The reason I'm actually here is Sansa I mean lady Stark would like to speak with you.) Alright let me get dressed. (Oh and Dany please don't feed my sister to Drogon if you disagree.) He says with a bit of seriousness. That was only one time Jon and It was not your sister that woman disrespected me her Khaleesi. She refused to bend the knee. ( That's exactly what I'm talking about you can be a bit.....eccentric sometimes my love.) I am not! Okay well maybe ugh fine I promise I won't over react.
We walked down to the library to meet with Jon's sister Sansa. When I first came here I wanted her to like me. We are just so different she only enjoys disagreeing with me at all cost. Jon's younger sister Aria likes me a lot more than Lady Stark. Aria is about Lexa's age so maybe that's why I have a soft spot for her. She is a brilliant fighter her sword skills are incredible. Jon is so loving towards his family. Even though he grew up as a bastard. Him and Aria spar with each other everyday. It's intriguing to watch especially when Aria takes him down with her sword needle pointed at his chest. (Dany.... ) Jon pulls me from my thoughts (It's time for your discussion with Lady Stark.) Yes King of the North I joke knowing he bent the knee to me. He rolled his eyes and gave me a heart warming smile. (Remember play nice. He kiss my forehead. When your done I'll be sparing with Aria.) Jon walks away leaving me to my business with his sister. I walk in Lady Stark I was given word that you wanted to speak with me. I look up to see not only Lady Stark. Missandei??? What are you doing here! Is... is she here? I gulp. (Hello my old friend it's nice to see you again. Please call me Indra I have done away with Missandei. No Lexa is not with me but I thought you would like an update on your daughter Khaleesi.) When Missandei said daughter I received a very interested look from Sansa. Lady Stark hear something that interested you? (No Khaleesi I just never knew you had a child!) Well yes I do her name is Lexa she was taken away from me twelve years ago. Today is her seventeenth birthday. You may stay Lady Stark if you wish I don't mind I just want to know what she's like. I look to Missandei I mean Indra. Please Indra have a seat I want to know about her very much I say with a bit of excitement. (I'd be honored to share Khaleesi. Well I guess I should start from the day we left. Ten days after we left we found a distressed girl about seven her names Costia. Lexa found her and protected her they became best friends....... Lexa's training has been a success she is one of the best warriors in Polis. When Lexa was not but thirteen our Heda died. She fought bravely in her conclave and won. Lexa has been Heda for four years now. And I proudly stand at her side. She's a natural born leader Khaleesi you should be so proud.) She sounds wonderful. What does she look like? (I have a drawing of her would you like it?) Indra I'd like nothing more than to see it.

She's perfect when was this drawn? (It was done the day I left Polis. So it's recent.) I can't take my eyes away my daughter is all grown up. I look to my left to see Sansa staring at the portrait. This is my daughter Sansa she is about Aria's  age. (She looks much older than that my Khaleesi. She is quite lovely as are you.) Indra thank you so much for this. (It was my pleasure Khaleesi. Lexa has become an amazing woman.) I smile at the love that Indra holds for Lexa. (What about you Khaleesi how have you been?) I had the Iron Throne in the grasp of my hands but it was taken away. So I am now here in the North. Ser Jorah believes this to be the safest place for me. I look up to Sansa.
Lady Stark is there any news today? (Actually that is why I summoned you Khaleesi. I hate to kill the moment but 3 of your people have been taken prisoner by Cerci!) Who has she taken?
(Tris, Gray Worm, and Diana) What!!! How did she manage to get the three of them? (I'm not sure but Cerci requests for you to meet with her) I look to Indra and smile. They never stop trying to kill me I laugh well I guess A Khaleesis job is never finished. (Khaleesi I wish to accompany you it could be a trap or worse an execution.  jus drein jus daun Blood must have blood that's the way of my people. Heda wouldn't hesitate to take a traders life especially in time of War.) I wouldn't have it any other way. (If you shall fall I'll fall with you We will all fall with you Khaleesi but let's make sure it doesn't come to that!)
