The Children of Spring

Jenny IV - Son of the Light

Jenny was looking at Galladon and she just could not believe it. He was alive. Galladon was alive, the Lord of the Light had heard them, he had brought him back. Jenny promised that she would never let anything happen to him again and this time she would not fail.
Galladon was breathing fast as if he did not believe it either. Jenny looked at his eyes, they were confused and a bit scared and looking around the cabin. Still, they were as blue as ever. Sapphire blue. At last, Galladon looked at her and she saw understanding in his eyes, as if he had realized where he was and what had happened at that moment. She smiled, for the first time since she had entered the warlock's house, she smiled a genuine, luminous smile. At that, he said almost on a whisper,
"Jenny..." Jenny went to him and hugged him thightly.
"You're alive, I cannot believe it." Jenny said, happier than he had ever seen her. He hugged her back the same way, as if she was a precious, fragile treasure that might break at any time.
"I don't know how, but I am." Galladon said smiling.
"Are you alright?" Jenny asked.
"I am, don't worry." Galladon said.
"I have to go call the others." Jenny said and then she left the cabin as fast as she could without running. Holy crap... How is this possible? I don't care, I have a second chance. That's all that matters, Galladon thought.
Jenny went to find the others, she had to tell them it had worked, she had to tell them he was alive, she had to tell Catelyn that her brother was alive. I still can't believe it, Jenny thought. When she saw them in the deck, she went to them right away and said,
"Cat..." But Catelyn did not hear her, she was crying and she did seem to hear anyone. "Cat..." Jenny knew that she would not listen to her like that, so she calmed down for a bit, before saying anything else.
"Jen, what is it?" Thomas asked seeing her expression, she was happy and smiling. It did not make sense. Jenny went to where Catelyn was sitting in one of the sits in the deck and said softly,
"Cat, look at me." However she did not, Jenny knelt in front of her, she took her hands and said again, "Catelyn, look at me." At last, she did. Jenny looked at her in the eyes and said, "It worked. He is alive. You're brother is alive."
"What...?" Catelyn said.
"What?!" The rest of them said.
"He is alive, he's waiting for you. Go." Jenny said smiling to Catelyn and Catelyn started to run to the cabin. She could not believe it and yet, when she got to the cabin, there he was sitting in the bed, looking at her, smiling.
"You're alive..." Catelyn said, at the door, she was in shock.
"I am..." Galladon said smiling and she went to him and gave him a hug. She was crying of happiness by then. Her brother hugged her back.
"I'm here, little sis." Galladon said.
The rest of them had gone after Catelyn and when they got to the cabin, they smiled. It's all getting back together..., Jorah thought.
After the hug, Catelyn asked,
"Are you sure you're alright?"
"I am alright, Cat. I promise." Galladon answered.
"Never do that again, please." Catelyn said.
"I won't. I'm here, Cat. I'll always be with you. You have my word." Galladon told his sister and she smiled. After that, everyone entered the cabin.
"I can't believe it worked..." Durran said.
"It did. The Lord of the Light answered you. You brought my nephew back." Gerion said.
"You brought me back?" Galladon asked Durran.
"I did... I didn't know if the Lord would answer, but I had to try. It was your sister who had the idea." Durran explained. Galladon looked at Catelyn.
"You're my brother. I couldn't loose you." Catelyn said and he nodded. Then he managed to get up and went to where Durran was and said,
"Thank you. I don't know what to say. I owe you one."
"You don't owe me anything, it was the Lord's doing. But, I'm glad you're alive." Durran said and Galladon nodded. Jorah went to Galladon and gave him a thight hug. He hugged him back.
"I'm so glad you came back. Thank you, for everything. I don't know what we would do without you." Jorah said.
"You can do everything with or without me. Never forget that." Galladon said after the hug.
"Anyway, it would not be the same." Mia said going to him and doing the same that Jorah did.
"If you say so." Galladon said after the hug.
"Thank you for saving me. I'll never be able to thank you enough for it." Rhaella said and hugged him as well.
"You don't need to thank me, you're my family. I knew what I was doing." Galladon said and she nodded. Then he turned to the twins, James and Thomas did not know what to say or do, they were happier than ever for him being alive, they just could not do anything. Galladon knew that, therefore he went to them and said,
"Thank you for being there for Cat." The twins smiled and hugged him, they were so relieved for him to be alive.
"Never ever get us in one of this again." Thomas said with a chuckle.
"You never know." Galladon said with a chuckle.
"Just be careful." James said with a chuckle and they laughed. Jenny, seeing everyone reunited, smiled. Everything was going to go back to normal, or close to it. Jenny knew that she and Galladon had to talk about a lot of things, but right then she knew that she had to wait. He and Catelyn needed to talk too. And she was right.
"Uh, I'm so sorry, but would you mind if..." Catelyn said a bit shy. She knew that she was not the only one who needed to talk to her brother, but she had to talk to him... to make sure he was alright. Still, no one wanted to leave that room.
"Of course not. You need to talk, we understand, right, guys?" Jenny said and everyone nodded and started to leave the cabin. However, before she could leave, Galladon went to her and said,
"Jen..."
"It can wait, Gal. Your sister needs you now." Jenny said smiling and he smiled too.
"Are you sure?" He asked.
"We've waited three years, we can wait a few more time. After all, you're here, alive. That's what matters." Jenny said and he nodded. Then she left the room.
"You can go after her if you want." Catelyn said.
"No, I'll wait. You need me now. Besides, I might need your help." Galladon said smiling.
"You just came back from the dead and you're already getting inventive ideas?" Catelyn asked with a chuckle. Her brother was back, he was definetively back.
"Well, I'm alive, you're here, they're alright, Jen has her memories back. We'll beat the bastards, so... Cheer up, sis." Galladon said smiling and Catelyn laughed.
Meanwhile, the others were talking in the deck.
"So, you never told us about what you saw in the House." Rhaella said to Jenny.
"Well, first I talked with my grandparents. I said some kind of a prayer before entering and they heard me. They helped me, guided me." Jenny said smiling. Thank you again. I'm going to tell them, I promise, Jenny thought. She was going to tell her mother and uncles what they had asked her to.
"You're kidding?" Thomas asked.
"I'm not." Jenny said.
"What were they like?" James asked.
"They were mostly kind. And they somehow were kind of fighting like an old married couple." Jenny said with a giggle.
"Tywin Lannister fighting like an old married geezer and being kind?! I've never thought I would hear that. Afterlife changes people for sure." Gerion said with a chuckle and they laughed.
"What else?" Mia asked.
"There was a corridor full of doors. There were sounds. Most of the doors were closed, only three were opened. On the first one, I saw Gal dead, but now he is alive, so... The second door had sound, when I heard it, I ran to the door.-" Jenny was saying.
"What did you hear?" Jorah asked.
"My father singing Jenny of Oldstones." Jenny answered, smiling.
"Did you see us when we were children?" James asked.
"I thought I would, but no.-" Jenny was saying, when Catelyn and Galladon came to them.
"What are you talking about?" Catelyn asked curiously.
"About what Jenny saw in the warlock's house." Thomas answered.
"What did you see?" Galladon asked. Jenny told the first part again for Galladon and Catelyn to follow and they were surprised to hear about their grandparents too. Then, she continued,
"I heard my father and I ran to the door, only what I saw was the past, our parents' past. Remember when Tormund told us about the Long Night, before the battle?"
"Yes." Everyone said.
"Well, I saw it. They were in one of the halls of Winterfell." Jenny said.
"Who?" Catelyn asked.
"Well, my parents, your parents, uncle Tyrion, Tormund and Ser Davos. They looked happy, I mean, they thought they would die, but they seemed happy. They were in armour, most were northerners armours, only aunt Brienne was with the blue armour." Jenny said.
"Of course she was. She loves that armour." Catelyn said smiling.
"My father was singing and my mother took his hand. I know she was smiling. I wanted to go in. I knew I couldn't, but I wanted to go in. I wanted to see them, I wanted to see how they could feel that hopeful with everything that was happening." Jenny confessed. They smiled, they wanted to know it too.
"How do you know it was really the past?" Jorah asked.
"They looked younger and it was exactly like Tormund told us." Jenny said, shrugging.
"That counts." Jorah said.
"Then the third door, that was weird. I don't think that happened. I saw my mother... beating... a boy. He was 13, I think. She had my age. She couldn't snap out of it, she was beating him, there was blood everywhere. She was totally blind by rage." It was real, Thomas thought, he knew the story. "Anyway, then grandfather entered the room and grabbed her, but she wanted to get back at the beating. He told her to stop, but it did nothing. Only when he said, 'He isn't worth your life, Jo...' did she stop. The name was the key. I don't know more, but I don't think it was real anyway." Jenny explained.
"It was real." Thomas said, he had to tell them. They looked at him. Jenny and James were very confused. It was real....?, Jenny thought.
"What?" James asked confused.
"It was real, that happened. Mother was 17 years-old." Thomas said.
"How do you know that?" Jenny asked.
"She and father told me, because of the rage problems." Thomas said.
"Who was the boy then?" Galladon asked.
"Joffrey." Thomas answered.
"Wasn't Joffrey just a kid?" Rhaella asked confused.
"He was a cruel selfish brat. He comanded a Kingsguard to beat aunt Sansa in the Throne room after he had comanded the beheadement of her father, she was his betrothed at the time.-"
"Wait, Joffrey killed my grandfather?" Jorah asked a bit angry.
"He did. He comanded the killing of all King Robert's bastards, the only one who escaped was uncle Gendry. He tried to manipulate my mother, he mocked uncle Tyrion all the time. He... told my mother that he would take every one she loved from her. Starting with aunt Sansa and then uncle Jaime and uncle Tyrion and then my father. He was saying the names, but when he said my father's name, my mother slapped him. He also said that when he was done and the heads were in the walls, he would take her there to see them. That was before the Blackwater, though. In the battle, Joffrey comanded a Kingsguard to kill uncle Tyrion-" Thomas was saying.
"He did what?!" Catelyn asked.
"That one was low..." James said angry.
"Not to mention stupid. Really? The King comands a Kingsguard to kill the Hand of the King?" Mia said.
"He would have killed him, if it wasn't for my father. He killed the Kingsguard and saved uncle. My mother saw it and lost it. It was the last drop. So, after she got uncle and my father to safety, she went to Joffrey's chambers and she beated him.-" Thomas was saying.
"Wait, his chambers, but there was a battle going on and he was the King?" Jorah said confused.
"He was a coward too. He ran from the battle. Uncle Tyrion comanded the army and defended the city until the Lannister army arrived. He saved the city and got his face almost slashed in two for it. She went to his chambers and beated him, she beated him bloody, she couldn't stand it anymore. She only stopped when grandfather entered the room and what Jenny saw happened. After having stopped, there was blood everywhere and her hands hurted a lot. Grandfather told Joffrey not to tell anyone or he would have to deal with him. Then he told my mother to go to her room and treat the wounds in her hands. When she got to her room, my father was there. She was shaken and he got worried. He asked what had happened, but she didn't tell him. She could not let him be blamed if anyone found out. The next day, she was sent to the Rock." Thomas explained. He remembered when his parents had told him the story, it was hard for them to talk about it, but they told it. That was the moment Thomas realized how strong his parents were and how strong he could be.
"I wasn't waiting for that one. I think that in my mind they're still young. Last time I saw them, Joanna was 14, Tyrion was 21 and Jaime and Cersei were 29." Gerion said a bit confused, it was a lot to take in.
"We understand." Catelyn said.
"At least, she had a good reason for it. I understand it now." Jenny said. I'm sorry you had go through that, mother, Jenny thought.
They spent some more time talking, until it was night, and then Jenny and Galladon finally went to talk on their own.
They went to the men's cabin, entered and closed the door. Inside, they looked at each other and Jenny went to him and kissed him. He kissed her back. She missed that, she missed him more than anything. After the kiss, they looked at each other, Jenny had tears in her eyes, but she was smiling.
"Don't cry or I'll start to cry and we both know how it'll end." Galladon said looking at her smiling. She laughed a little and said,
"I'm not crying, I'm just happy. I'm so happy."
"I'm happy too." Galladon said.
"I'm sorry, I should've stopped it. I'm sorry I said those things. I'm sorry I slapped you." Jenny said looking down. Galladon took her face in his hands and looked her in the eyes and said,
"It's over now. It's alright and it's not your fault. I shouldn't have forced that kiss, I'm sorry too."
"It's alright. You're right, it's over. You're here now and that's what matters." Jenny said looking at him and then kissed him. After the kiss, Jenny knew what she wanted to do, she knew that, after everything, she could not be away from him anymore, she never wanted to be away from him again.
Jenny looked at him, took his hands in hers and said,
"Gal. I know that I'm not one of the most sentimental or romantic persons in the world, you're much more romantic than me, thanks the Gods for that, but I do love you very much. And the past days were a torture. When you died, I felt like I was dying too. That made me realize that I don't want to be away from you again." He smiled and then said with a chuckle,
"Yes, Jen, I'll marry you." He knew that it was that what she was suggesting, but she would never say it out loud, besides he wanted to tease her a bit.
"You'll what?" Jenny said. Really? This is not the time, Jenny thought a bit anoyed.
"Was that not a proposal?" Galladon asked with a chuckle.
"Well, no, I mean, yes. I mean, tecnically, women can't propose..." Jenny said. He laughed a little and then looked at her and said, by then for real,
"I'm messing with you. I do love you too and I also don't want to be away from you again. So, here it goes. Jenny Payne-Lannister, will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?"
"Yes, yes. Of course." Jenny said and then kissed him. The kiss was paxionate and it felt like the begining of something new. Something that they both wanted very much and that, after everything, felt like the best way to put the recent events behind and proceed freshly and surely into the future.
"Never do that again, I was freaking out." Jenny said with a chuckle.
"I know you were, that's why it's funny." Galladon said.
"I'll get the payback, watch out." Jenny said smiling. He kissed her again.
"Let's go tell them." Galladon said.
"It's night, they're asleep. Last night, almost no one slept. We'll tell them tomorrow." Jenny said and he nodded.
After that, they layed on one of the beds, Mia and Catelyn had the watch that night and the others split into the remaining two cabins, not wanting to bother them, therefore they had the cabin just for themselves. Besides, they had just layed down to get some comfort and some sleep. They were in bed, she was in his arms feeling cosy and safe.
"Does it hurt?" Jenny asked concerned.
"Does what hurt?" Galladon asked confused.
"The wound." Jenny answered looking at him.
"A bit, but it's healing." Galladon said smiling.
"I'm glad to hear that." Jenny said.
"And you? What was it like when the memories came back?" Galladon asked concerned too.
"It was like a terrible headache. I couldn't make sense of anything in my mind." Jenny said.
"Do you remember when..." Galladon was saying, but he stopped maybe she did not want to talk about it.
"When I did not have my memories?" Jenny asked looking at him and he nodded.
"I do. I remember, it feels like a memory, actually. And I hate it." Jenny confessed looking down.
"Why?" Galladon asked.
"Because I was a completely different person. I was always thinking of getting out of there, of leaving you. I didn't remember anyone. Not even my parents, I don't know how I'm going to tell them that. I was lying all the time and neither of you noticed it. I don't want to be that person." Jenny explained.
"You're not that person. I know it, Jen. And I know you'll get through this." Galladon said.
"Do you remember anything while you were...?" Jenny asked.
"No, there was only darkness. I was in the limbo, I think. But I did hear somethings. I heard voices." Galladon answered.
"What did they say?" Jenny asked.
"They said my name and 'I'm sorry'." Galladon said a bit confused.
"When I talked with grandparents, they promised me that you wouldn't die. It must have been them." Jenny said.
"That's... wow. That's good." Galladon said smiling.
"I met grandmother, what my mother wanted all her life was meeting her. I'll tell her everything about it." Jenny said smiling.
"I know you will. My parents, Jo and my grandfather think I'm dead, it's going to be a surprise, I guess." Galladon said.
"They'll be happier than ever. I was. When I saw you falling, I was just shocked and sad, I cried a lot. Even more so because I didn't even say goodbye. I couldn't be there for you, when you needed me. Your mother is right, you know." Jenny said.
"My mother's right about a lot of things. Which one?" Galladon asked.
"She is. But I was talking about 'There's nothing more hateful than failing to protect the one you love'." Jenny said looking at him.
"That's what I felt when you left the warlock's house." Galladon said.
"I know." Jenny said.
"You know, it's funny how you can think about a milion things when you're dying. When I fell, the first, well, the second thing, the first was 'this hurts a lot', I thought was that I wouldn't get to see the youngers growing up, then I thought that I would never see Mia traveling around the world, that I would never see Rickon reading every book on the Cidadel, like he always said he would. Then I thought, I would never see James becoming the man he always wanted to be, I would never see Thomas and Jeyne together. Next, I thought I would never see Jorah being the King I know he is. I thought I would never see Gerion being King in the North and Mary being his Queen, because you're right, those two have to get together. After that, I thought I would never see my uncles and aunts again, that's when it started to hurt. Then I thought, I would never see Jo having the wedding she's been planning since she was 10. Neither would I see Cat being named a knight, like she has always wanted. I thought I would never see my grandfather again, he would never see his grandson getting ready to be the Evenstar. After that, it was hard. I thought I would never see my father again, I'd never be able to tell him that I'm proud to be his son, no matter what he did. I thought I would never see my mother again, that... Those hurted a lot. She would never see her son being the Evenstar or being the man I am. At last, I looked at you. You were crying and I thought that I would never see you again and could not dry your tears and it all went black." Galladon said looking down at the end. Jenny looked at him and said,
"I'm sorry you had to go through that." What else could she say?
"I'm not sorry. That only made me realized how much I love my family. There was one good thing..." Galladon said.
"What?" Jenny asked.
"I died in the arms of the woman I love. It's the best way to go." Galladon said smiling. She kissed him and then said with a chuckle,
"Only you to find something positive about dying."
"It's not only my mother that is right. Your mother is too. 'We just have to keep on living'." Galladon said looking at her and she smiled.
"Guess returning home, after winning the war, will be full of surprises." Galladon said with a chuckle and Jenny laughed. They talked for some more time and then fell asleep.
Next day, in the morning, all of them joined in the deck of the ship. Jenny and Galladon had told them that they had news to tell them. Everyone got confused, except for Catelyn, she knew what her brother was planning, only not all of it.
"So we have news." Jenny said.
"It's real news, right? Not like the last time." Thomas said with a chuckle.
"Just a moment, did you and James switch personalities or something?" Rhaella asked with a giggle and they laughed.
"Not really. I just thought I should take things more seriously and Thomas, well, things a little bit less seriously. We're still the same." James said smiling and they smiled.
"Seems good to me. Go on." Rhaella said and then looked at Jenny and Galladon.
"Yes, it's real news." Jenny said.
"Last night, we're talking and we realized that, after everything that happened, we don't want to be away from each other again, so..." Galladon said.
"We're engaged..." Jenny said smiling.
"That's awsome!" They all said and each one of them went to them and congratulated them.
"How did that happen?" Mia asked.
"She proposed..." Galladon said looking at her and she narrowed her eyes.
"She did...?" Thomas and James said with a devilish smile.
"First, you two, shut up." Jenny said to her brothers and they laughed, "Second, tecnically, I didn't, because women can't propose, so I sort of gave him the hint and he asked." They smiled.
"I'm glad you've finally maned-up, brother." Catelyn said smiling.
"Don't start." Galladon said rolling his eyes.
"We're happy for you." Jorah said.
"Thank you. You'll see, I'll make a decent lady out of her." Galladon said joking with a chuckle.
"Good luck with that." James said with a chuckle.
"I'd like to see you try, sweetheart. You do know, I'll marry you in my armour, right?" Jenny said looking at her fiancé.
"That's a great idea, actually." Catelyn and Mia said smiling. Jorah, Thomas and Rhaella laughed, so did Gerion and Durran. However, Galladon and James were a bit worried.
"Very funny." Galladon and James said.
"Why do you say that?" Jenny asked as if she was confused.
"Yeah, we meant it." Catelyn said.
"You did?" James asked.
"I mean you do know that Mary, Jo and even Jeyne will kill you if you do that?" Galladon asked and the young women laughed.
"Don't worry, love. Of course, I'll wear a dress." Jenny said smiling.
"You've scared me for a moment." Galladon said. James looked at Catelyn and she smiled. He had to give her the payback.
"Not that I don't like to see you in armour." Galladon said.
"I'll tell you what. I'm going to wear a dress so amazing that you'll even forget that I ever wore armour." Jenny said smiling, still she meant it.
"Don't let her go, lad." Their uncle told Galladon.
"Don't worry, uncle. I won't." Galladon said smiling and she smiled. We're going to get our happy ending, no matter what, Jenny thought.
"I see you know the game." Gerion said smiling. They passed on the tradition, Gerion thought.
"Did you play with your brothers and aunt Genna?" James asked curiously.
"Play? Me and Genna invented the game." Gerion told them.
"Really?" Thomas asked and he nodded.
"Who was the best?" Catelyn asked.
"Me or Genna. Depended on the times. Jo was pretty good too." Gerion said. Of course she was, Jenny thought. It might be weird, but sometimes she missed her grandparents, despite she had never known them.
"And your brothers?" Galladon asked.
"Well, Kev tried once or twice, I think he won once against Genna. Tyg was never much interested in the game, after I won the first time. And Ty, well, I never played with him, I wouldn't dare, but Genna was always winning against him. She was the only one though. Of course, our cousins played too. Jo was pretty good at it, she and Genna were unbeatable when they were together. Stafford and Damon were never good at it." Gerion explained.
"That sounds good." Jenny said.
"Me and Genna thaught Jaime, Tyrion and Joanna how to play, Cersei never wanted to learn. But they learned fast. It's good to see that they kept playing." Gerion said smiling.
"We all play now." Jenny said smiling, they kept talking for some more time and then went to do some duties that needed to be done.
Some time later, Gerion told them that he had something to show them. Once they all got to the deck, they saw that Gerion had a bag.
"What is that?" Rhaella asked curiously.
"While we're leaving the warlock's house, we passed through the armoury.-" Gerion was saying.
"We did?" Jenny asked. I can't recall it very well, Jenny thought.
"We did. And I brought somethings that might be of use." Gerion said and they smiled.
"What did you bring?" Jorah asked.
Gerion opened the bag and said,
"Weapons. I think they are all Valyrian steel."
"That's great. It'll be easier in the battle." Galladon said.
"Exactly, nothing cuts like Valyrian steel." Jenny agreed.
"But there are very few weapons. They had all of them?" Thomas asked.
"Not all of them, but at least a few." Gerion said.
"Show us then." Catelyn said.
"Alright." Gerion said and then he took out of the bag four daggers, the hilts were all made of dragon bone. However, in three of them the pommel had a lion's head in the end, of those three two had rubis in the eyes and the other had hematites in the eyes. Those three Gerion gave to Thomas, James and Galladon. Thomas and James got the twin daggers and Galladon got the hematite one. The fourth one had the pommel that seemed like a detailled tree trunk and at the end it seemed like a tree top, it ended with small sapphires at the end of the branches. That one he gave to Catelyn. These will be very useful, they thought and Catelyn thought, It's like Ser Duncan's shield.
When he gave them the daggers, he said,
"Here. Three lions for three lions of Lannister." As he gave the three lion pommels daggers to Thomas, James and Galladon. "And this one is for you." As he gave Catelyn the dagger.
"Thank you." The young men said.
"Thank you. It's like Ser Duncan's shield." Catelyn said smiling.
"You're welcome. I figured out you'd like it." Gerion said.
"We did." Catelyn said.
"Then this is for you, Mia." Gerion said and gave her a bag. Mia accepted and opened it and saw that there were arrows ends inside.
"Thank you." Mia said smiling.
"Well, arrows for the archer." Gerion said and she nodded.
"Then, Jorah, I found this." Gerion said and took from the bag a sword with a slender blade with the hilt which was black and, at it's end, had an orange flame, before the blade it had an orange wave line with a ruby at the centre.
"Is that...?" Jorah asked, he did not believe it.
"Dark Sister, yes, it is. It's been in House Targaryen for centuries before it was lost. I give it to you, but you should give it to your sister, it was made for a woman." Gerion said giving him the sword. He accepted it and looked at it amazed.
"Thank you. Lya is going to be so happy when she sees this. Visenya Targaryen is her heroine." Jorah said.
"Lya is going to love that." Rhaella said and they smiled.
"You're welcome. And now, Jenny, this one is for you." Gerion said and took out of the bag a sword with a red and golden hilt with a lion's head at the end. Jenny immediately recognized the sword.
"You found it." Jenny said smiling.
"I did. I found Brightroar. It's yours. It belongs to House Lannister and you saved me. You entered that House to save your cousin and you saved me too, so here." Gerion said and gave her the sword. She accepted smiling.
"Thank you so much." Jenny said.
"You're welcome. I found this too, I don't know if any of you knows how to use it." Gerion said and took the last object from the bag, that was an arakh made of Valyrian steel, the hilt was dragon bone covered with leader. Jorah smiled and said,
"I know how to use it."
"Here, then. I trust you're going to put it to good use." Gerion said giving him the arakh. Jorah accepted the arakh and then put some space betwen him and the others and made some mooves with the arakh.
"Alright, you know how to use it. Stop being such a show off." Rhaella said with a giggle and they laughed.
He then turned to Rhaela and said
"You have a mighty dragon, you don't need a weapon. You have saved my sanity and my life and I have nothing to give you back. You will have my eternal gratitude. I would give you my sword but I'm pretty useless now. You have my admiration, dragon rider."
"Thank you..." she replied shily. She could see awe in the others eyes.
Some days later, in the afternoon, they saw the Red Keep high on top of Aegon's High Hill. We're home. We're coming, don't worry, Jenny thought when she saw it and passed her hand through the hilt of Brightroar.
