Dragon Born

Alliance through marriage (1)

"Brother please don't leave me"

"Dany, open your eyes. I don't want to lose you again!"

"Irri!"

"Rakharo......"

"NOO!!!"

She shot up with a gasp, tears dripping down her eyes as her breathe hitched; giving her a difficult time to breathe.

She wipes her tears calming herself down when she realized "no, no, no, no, no, no" he got off her bed over to the wooden cradle; taking her baby girl in her arms hushing her to sleep.

"I'm sorry I woke you" Aleara begged but the infant didn't stop crying

It had been 6 months they had taken Meereen and she had given birth to a beautiful healthy baby girl and named her Kora. She took a lot of features from Rakharo but her eyes, shined Lilac and her hair was as black as night.

Parenting was scary to Aleara, especially when she cries and she tries by all means like begging her but she wouldn't. At times, she always wished Rakharo was there but Missendai was there to help.

"Missendai!" She calls and within minutes, Missendai came in "you called for me, your grace"

"She's crying, I don't know what to do" tears brimming down her own eyes "here, it's alright" Missendai took Kora in her arms, rocking the tiny infant as they sat on the edge of Aleara's bed.

"It is normal for infants to cry, your grace. Especially in the Night"

"But I disturbed her sleep. Is that wrong?" She asks and Missendai wipes the Targaryen girl's tears away "no your grace. It's perfectly fine. Maybe she had a nightmare"

"Babies have nightmares too?"

"Yes they do" nodded Missendai and Aleara looked down on her shaky hands "is something the matter, your grace?"

"I had a nightmare as well"

"What was it about, if you don't mind me asking?"

"My family's deaths, along with Irri and Rakharo...." She says with a shaky breathe

"I'm sorry" Missendai rubs her back "Everytime I close my eyes, I see them all. One by one, covered in blood" there was a short silence before;

"She couldn't have the same dream as me, couldn't she?" Asked Aleara,scared for her two week old daughter.

"No, your grace. When a babe is born, they do not understand a single thing in the world. Perhaps she just woke from being startled by you"

Aleara calmed down a bit "so it's all normal?"

"It's all normal. I can reassure that" smiled Missendai and Aleara nodded.

Sha hadn't known what to do.

Of course, her brother was set his goal on sitting on the Iron Throne. All the while she's been contemplating her life after she had given birth to Kora.

Aleara knew she didn't want to be a queen. She was not fit for it. Her heart was not even in that goal.

She yearned for adventures and nothing more. Yet again, she was the last heir meaning her hunger for Adventure meant nothing so she had to take the Iron Throne.

Life was never fair for her since was born till now; she was made a slave till she was broken free from the chains by her brother till the chains once again found their way to her. Not the chains of slavery, the chains of destiny; the destiny which her birthright has destined her for the Throne and that was not what she wanted, she only yearned for Adventure; seeing more in the world rather than sitting on a Throne giving commands, unending parties and meetings.

Being a Queen in Meereen really taught her but it never necessary taught her the true definition of freedom and she longed for true freedom from the bottom of her heart.

"Your grace what do you think?" she was startled and her head whipped towards Ser Jorah and it was then she realized; she was practically daydreaming in the middle of a council meeting "hmm?" Was her response, Lilac eyes glistening from the sunlight

"If we get more alias, it will be easy for you take the Iron Throne" Ser Barriston stated

"Right....the Iron Throne" Aleara chuckled nervously

"Which houses are we joining Allies with?"

"We have many but the main was are the Martells and the Greyjoys" Ser Barriston continues

Aleara nodded "tell me about the Martells" she stated and Ser Barriston nods

"The Martells have been loyal to House Targaryen ever since your brother Rhaegar married Princess Elia Martell. They didn't bend the knee but they fought alongside with house Targaryen" she nods at that

"Okay, tell me about the Greyjoys"

"The Greyjoys have ruled the Iron Islands for centuries. They're known for their Ruthless strengths; numbers and their ships"

"Sort of like Pirates?" Asked Aleara with a smile "yes, your grace" Ser Barriston returns it and Ser Jorah suddenly feels jealousy deep down. Aleara was always spending time with Ser Barriston and it would seem as though she trusted him way too much than him so it made him jealous although he too trusted the Westrosi Knight

"You also have marriage proposals," Ser Jorah suddenly chimed in.

"Marriage proposals? Why?"

"It is known that strong alliances are through marriage" Missendai says and Aleara hesitantly nods "how is Meereen doing?" She changed the subject

"Meereen is doing fine your grace, same goes for all the cities in Slaver's Bay, although the town's business are missing some supplies" Hizdarh Zo Loraq says

"Okay. Well," Aleara started "I want to change the city's name, no more Slaver's Bay, I want it be Dragon's Bay. Send off Three Hundred carts stocked with supplies for the town's business. I'm sure that will be enough?" Her gaze fell on Ser Barristan and he nods surprised at the young girl's training as queen really took a toll on her even though it was just six months along with all the members of the council were surprised; especially the changing of the City's name

"Ser Jorah, accompany Ser Barristan to make sure the supplies are well delivered" Ser Jorah nods

"Missendai, accompany me to the Throne room. I'll contemplate on joining Allies. You all have my leave to go, meeting dismissed" with that everyone bowed before leaving.
