Dragon Born

Survive

The Dothraki Khalasar rode for 5 moons, they started running out of food and water, there was no grass for the horses to graze, some horses had died of hunger and thirst as they were traveling in the Red Waste, the horses that died were slaughtered and eaten but Aleara did not have the appetite, she was throwing up all morning by the dry rocks, her stomach flipped all morning.

"Khaleesi, there is some water left, drink." Irri suggested.

"No, Irri, save it for the Khalasar........." Aleara said and threw up.

"Khaleesi, you'll feel much more better after you drink some water." Irri said worriedly for her friend and Khaleesi.

Once Aleara finished, she wiped herself and gave in, drinking some water, it did help but her stomach still flipped, they were camping, it was still was during the day and it was hot!

So they had rest. Aleara didn't even know where Khal Drogo was planning on going, she regretted not sticking close to him but at least he trained her.

"Khaleesi?" Irri called.

"Yeah?" Aleara replies, her head was spinning. The time she thought her sickness was gone, it returned!

"Do you think you might be with child?" Irri asked, whispering.

"What? No! I'm 13." Aleara said.

"But think about it, Lea, 13 you already reached womanhood, so......" She couldn't finish as Aleara gave her a death glare "I'll keep quiet." She just said.

They went to rest in the tent (that was left of it/ shade shelter), Aleara slouched sitting down, Irri sat next to her, slouching as well.

"Even if I was with child, do you think it could be Rakharo's?" Aleara asked.

"I don't know, Khaleesi. It depends how many people had bed you." Irri said resting her head on Aleara's shoulder.

"In Lys? Trust me, you would know." Aleara stated.

"Tell me, Lea."

"Hmm?"

"That boy with the hair like the sun, does he love you? Because I see the way he looks at you." Irri said.

"I think so, I mean, I fell in love with him before I met Dany and Viserys. Weeks had past last time I saw him and I had changed and so did my heart, from the journey marrying Drogo, traveling, it faded and now.. I don't even know what I'm doing anymore." Aleara said.

"What do you mean, Lea?" Irri asked puzzled.

"I mean, I don't know what love is, am I hurting Rakharo or Jack?" Aleara asked herself.

"You cannot hurt Rakharo, Khaleesi. I have spent a long long time with him and the day he laid his eyes on you, he spoke about you nonstop, he loves you.
Dothraki men do not care if there is another man, claiming their woman, they do not hesitate to kill them then and there." Irri stated.

"See, that's the problem, I do not want bloodshed. This is why I had kept quiet when I had a crush on Rakharo. Fear, fear of Khal Drogo killing him." Aleara said sadly.

"The Khal would have never killed Rakharo, Lea, Drogo and Rakharo were very close, he was chosen first to be his Blood Rider." Irri said

"Even if I were with child, it would either be Jack's or Rakharo's." Aleara stated.

"Even if you were with child, Khaleesi, it would be Rakharo's." Irri stated.

"How would you know?" Aleara asked.

"I just know." She said simply

"Educate me." Aleara challenges.

"How many times did Jack bed you?" Irri asked.
