"Wind & Words"

Emptiness

Jon

     Jon frantically swam through the dark water, it was so hard to see at night. The water was cold but he didn't care, he had fallen into colder waters once beyond the wall, this was nothing.
   His heart was pumping from fear, adrenaline and anxiety. He scanned all around under water, where Dany had fallen but he couldn't see shit.
'I have to find her!' He told himself.
He pushed his heavy-unwilling body forward to keep searching but his air was running out.
'Damn it!' He cursed himself for needing to breathe. He had to find her and didn't want to stop for anything, not even his own lungs.
Jon swam back to the surface, let go of his held breath and gulped in fresh air.
He panted hard and before he could suck in more air after catching his breath, he saw Yara's ship coming to him.
'No I will not leave her here, I refuse to get on that ship without her! Dany-Dany my love where are you? Please come back to me!' He pleaded, breaking down as tears welled up in his eyes, he felt hopeless.
Jon felt shattered and his body was unknowingly shaking.
So before he was forced to leave, he sucked in one more deep breath and submerged himself back into the cold salty water. Desperately searching for his Dany.

Yara Greyjoy

     The dragons were inconsolably screeching in the sky. Crying out for their mother who had plummeted with the other woman from her red dragon. The cannons had stopped for some time now, the Dornish and Golden Company ships had withdrawn. Yara was busy having a count of how many men were lost.
    When she noticed her King searching the sea for his drowned Queen. She thought he was still on top of the green beast, she never saw him lunge into the ocean.
He looked fearfully desperate, coming back up only to breathe and then returning back into the water.
'Poor King Aegon, he loves her so much. What will become of the Realm now?' She thought to herself. Feeling as hopeless as her King.
  Yara sighed, she'd seen her Queen fall and she was shocked when she disappeared into the vast sea. Queen Daenerys never came back up from the water. So Yara assumed she had drowned from the weight of that bitch or was purposely drowned by her. Either way, the Queen was gone.
   Yara was sad, she admired, loved and respected the Dragon Queen, who was also her friend. And Yara was not one to make friends easily, especially royal ones.
She could only imagine how King Aegon felt. Yara stopped looking at her boots and stood up straight while she fixed her very wet tunic.
She cleared her throat, "Let's get our King and go back home mates!"
"Aye!" They all replied. When Yara shouted to the crew while they changed the sail towards Kings Aegon.
    When they approached where the King was swimming, Yara noticed he was still under the water. She waited for him to emerge so she could attempt to get him on board. Yara knew this was not going to be an easy task so she thought about what to say before he came back up.
—Gasp! -the King resurfaced.
Yara gave a sympathetic grin to her King before she spoke. He glared at her, with sadness written all over his face.
"Your Grace we—." He cut her off.
"I am not leaving these waters until the Queen is in my arms." Jon stated in a weary tone before he sucked in another breath and disappeared back into the ocean.
Yara sighed, 'This is going to be a challenge but we have to go back to the Iron Islands, to strategize an attack on these Dornish bastards for killing our Queen.'
She patiently waited for him to come back up for air. After almost five minutes he graced her with his presence again.
"Your Grace I understand how forlorn you must feel but we need to recuperate and strategize a counter attack for what they've done here this night!"
   Yara watched her King sigh as tears had continually streamed down his face while she spoke, he doesn't want to accept she's gone. But she saw him shake his head in protest of him even considering departing without her.
"No Lady Yara, I have to find my wife. Just leave me here, I'll go back on Rhaegal once I've found her."
Yara felt bad about what she was going to say but she wasn't going to cater to his feelings when they could be attacked at any moment.
