A massive effort to rebuild the North and clean up the Capital has been underway for nearly two weeks after the Battle at Kings Landing. Dany and Jon have sent a lot of volunteers from the Neck and the South to the North as they received the most damage from the Night King’s army, even though the cleanup started a fortnight ago, there was still a lot to do. Sansa and Tyrion flew back North during this time to lead the effort.
Meanwhile, every House from all over Westeros came to Kings Landing to bend the knee to Queen Daenerys and King Jon. Dany and Jon took this time to discuss who was going to rule over what parts of the country, as many holds are now left leaderless. They would also talk about their Royal Wedding that is approaching quickly–in less than three weeks. Her and Missandei would work out the details every evening. There was something she finally needed to tell Jon though, now that the war is over and their engagement is confirmed. She takes the opportunity to tell him one night. She had dinner brought to their quarters instead of them going down to the dining hall. Jon is carrying on about the ideas he has for the North and Freefolk when Dany interrupts and says “Jon” softly. He can tell something is wrong. “Are you okay?” he said. “I-I haven’t bled in nearly two moons. I am sure I have our baby growing in me. In fact, I think I theres more than one. With me finding the three younger dragons and the three younger direwolves appearing, I think it’s a sign” Dany blurted out. She wasn’t sure how to tell him so she was just blunt as possible to get it over with. Jon is usually very serious and stern. He rarely ever shows joy. This moment Dany will remember forever. Jon smiles from ear to ear and the smile carries to his eyes. He stands up and makes his way over to Dany and picks her up completely off the ground and hugs her long and tight. “I can’t believe it. I am so happy” he says in her ear. He sets her back down on the ground. “I was nervous to tell you” Dany said. “Why?” Jon responded. “I wasn’t sure how you would take it” said Dany. “Dany, I love you so much” Jon said and he gets down on his knees and takes her belly (that is only very slightly sticking out more than usual) in his big hands and he kisses her stomach. “I can’t wait to meet you three” he whispered to her belly. Dany is relieved and she is finally able to celebrate the joyous news. Jon looks up at her and says “I thought the witch told you that you can’t ever have any children” Jon said jokingly. “I don’t think she was a reliable source for information” she said jokingly back. They both laugh and enjoy the moment together. Then all of a sudden Jon runs out of their room and Dany is confused. “Where are you going?” she yelled. But he kept running. She gets up to follow him. He bursts into the dining hall and screams to everyone “I’m going to be a father!” No one is used to seeing Jon act this way so it takes everyone a few seconds to process what he just said.
What they didn’t know about him was that Jon has always wanted to be a father and have a beautiful, strong, intelligent wife next to him. Growing up thinking he was a bastard, made him determined to give his children a life that didn’t know his hardships. He didn’t want them to be treated the way he was, even sometimes by his own family. He wished to give them the childhood he missed out on. Even though Ned and Cat weren’t his parents, he knew he would want to be the family man Ned was, and even though Cat wasn’t the kindest to him, he knew he wanted someone fierce like her to help him in life. Jon has never asked for anything and has never wanted power and glory, but he has acquired both. Now, his biggest want in life has come true and he couldn’t be anymore grateful for Ned, Cat, the rest of the Stark kids, the Night’s Watch, his journey thus far, and now Daenerys. He has never been more happy.
Tormund is the first one to talk. “Aye!” and he stomps his way over to his to give him a hug and pat his back. Everyone else followed. The dining hall is so loud. Dany finally walks through the door and everyone quiets down for a moment. Then they all start cheering and run over to her. Dany wasn’t only their Queen. They respected her and many of the people considered her a friend. She saw them that way too. A good ruler didn’t have just subjects or people who feared them. They must have many friends everywhere to keep the peace and be proactive. She fought next to them in battle many times. She sacrificed herself, her dragons, her army, and her close friends. This kind of dedication was the only thing the people needed to see to stand by her. She was fearless but with a gentle heart. She wasn’t just some leader they didn’t know or have only seen once. She has been apart of their daily lives for months, something a Queen or King has never done before. For the entirety of Jon and Dany’s reign together, their relationship with the people of Westeros and Essos always went deeper than any leaders ever had their the people.
The whole room comes at her lifting her up in the air. Others lift up Jon. Everyone starts cheering again and bouncing them up and down. Dany swore she saw Jorah again standing in the corner smiling and mouthing “and you will be loved.”
The next day was Dany and Jon’s official crowning ceremony. Sansa and Tyrion arrive in Kings Landing on the back of Olenna. They called all of their friends, leaders, and people of the court to join them in the throne room. Drogon went and picked up Daario and he arrives with a beautiful woman next to him. She has skin like Missandei’s and she has long curly black hair that is very thick and full. She has two braids in her hair but the rest is left untamed. She had eyes that looked like honey. Her skin glowed. She was wearing a pale blue dress, the color was common across the narrow sea, and it had brown and gold beading all over it. She was absolutely gorgeous and Daario seemed happy to be next to her, and this made Dany happy to see. She walks over to him with Jon and introduces him to Daario and then he introduces them both to the woman he was with. Her name was Iliana and she’s from the island of Tyrosh. “Where’d you two meet?” Dany asked. “I went back home to visit with some friends about a trade deal between Tyrosh and Dragon’s Bay. I was staying at an inn and Iliana was there serving people food and drink. I knew right away I wanted to make her mine. I’m still not sure why she agreed” Daario said. Iliana chimed in “and I’m not sure why someone of such influence would want to be with an inn worker!” Daario said “she’s so smart too. I think you both will like one another.” Iliana says “of course, I already like my Queen” and she bows low. Dany take two fingers and places them on Iliana’s chin to tilt her head back up to her. “I trust Daario with my life and everything I have. If he trusts you, if he respects you, and if he likes your character, I do too. I’m so happy you found each other and I’m glad you’re here” said Dany. Iliana looks up at here with a big smile. Full lips, straight white teeth, it was difficult for even Dany to resist her beauty. Jon was polite the entire conversation and kept his arm around Dany’s waist and only stared at his betrothed.
Dany and Jon made their way around the court catching up with Sansa and Tyrion, who have seemed to have made a connection with each other that Dany hasn’t seen from either of them up to this point. They move their way to Gendry and Meera, who are completely in love. To Brienne and Tormund, they both seem completely comfortable around each other now and they look so happy together. To Jamie and Octavia who are getting more serious in their relationship. Jamie didn’t realize what being in love and being in a healthy relationship felt like until he gave Cersei up, and now that she’s dead, he feels free. Jamie and Octavia never stop glancing at each other and smiling. To Missandei and Grey Worm, who are are always holding hands. Dany told them both to dress their best, as she is about to give her two best friends the biggest gifts she could think of. Dany helped Missandei braid her hair similar to how Missandei braided Dany’s hair. She’s in a long white gown. It’s light, airy, and moves when she moves. Since the war has ended, the temperature outside has began warming up. Almost her full back is being exposed and there are half sleeves on the dress. There are hints of gold details all over. Grey Worm is wearing a new uniform that is all black and has the Targaryen-Direwolf symbol on the bust. He is the first to wear the combined symbol.
Dany herself is wearing a black gown. It is fitted on the top and is A-lined from the waist down. The skirt of the dress is ruffled with dragon scales and there is a red layer underneath to give the illusion of it being on fire. The top of her dress has a deep v-neck, and there is a sheer black lace for the sleeves. Jon is wearing traditional northern armor that is all black.
Daenerys gave a lot of work to Gendry a few weeks ago, as he was the only one she trusted to do a satisfactory job. The first task she asked him to do was to replace the amethyst’s in her Valyrian steel crown with rubies. Her brother, Jon’s father, was known for wearing rubies in his armor, and red was the Targaryen color. However, she didn’t want to get rid of the amethyst’s completely, as they were a symbol of her Valyrian roots and a source of her magic. She had one placed on the inside of the crown in the back. People wouldn’t be able to tell it was there, but she knew it was there and that’s all that mattered. She visited the area where Robert killed Rhaegar and with Drogon’s help, was able to find two rubies that where from Rhaegar’s armor. She incorporated one into her crown and held on the the other one.
One amethyst she kept for safe keeping, to which she later had it broken into three parts, and it was added to each of her children’s weapons who didn’t get Longclaw or Dark Sister passed down to them. She also decided she wanted her friends, allies, and family members to have apart of her. It was another way her legacy could be passed down through centuries and the crowns of each stronghold will have a good story.
The first two crowns made and one was placed in each crown. The first crown was two intertwined thorn vines made of silver with a few flowers scattered across it and little butterflies laying on the flowers. The front-center flower was slightly larger than the others and in the middle of the pedals, that’s where the amethyst was placed. The second silver crown was intertwined thorn vines with the amethyst placed in front.
The third crown was made of gold with pointed edges on the top. The amethyst was placed in the center and a half sun was etched around it with a bunch of engraved sun rays.
She had the Reaper crown brought in from the Iron Islands and had one amethyst placed on it.
She made Sansa a new crown as well. It was made of steel and had a dozen direwolves on it. Dany had an amethyst crushed and those were used for the eyes on the direwolves.
The fifth custom crown was a simple gold band. Two lions facing each other were on the front. Amethyst were used for the eyes on this crown too.
The last crown she asked Gendry to make was the most important one–Jon’s. She had a difficult time thinking about the design of it for many hours but she thinks she came up with a perfect idea. Obsidian. A crown made of dragonglass. The shape matched her’s identically and she had rubies placed in it. A Valyrian steel crown and a dragonglass crown, it hasn’t been seen before! Dany had one of her amethysts placed in Jon’s crown too, hidden like hers.
Dany and Jon decides that they wanted the Maester’s of the Citadel to conduct the ceremony, so a few made the journey and made their way to the front of the throne room. Sam was in this group. Everyone in the court takes a seat and both Dany and Jon make their way to stand in front of their thrones. Tyrion gave Jon a throne as a gift. Jon was insistent on Dany keeping the Iron Throne, but it meant he was going to be without one. Tyrion thought it would be a great idea to have the throne from the Dragonstone castle brought in. This throne was made of dragonstone, another material used by the ancient Valyrian sorcerers.
The Maester’s begin speaking and Dany and Jon both remain standing in front of their thrones. One of the Maester’s steps in front of Dany and asks to to recite a vow:
“I, Daenerys Stormborn Targaryen, of House Targaryen, the first of my name, Mother of Dragons, Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, of House Targaryen of Old Valyria, Mhysa and Queen of Dragon’s Bay, Queen of the Rhoynar, First Men, and the Andals, the Unburnt, Breaker of Chains, protector of the Realm, and Queen of the 7 kingdoms do solemnly swear to be just and rule fairly. To protect all people, no matter their social status. To uphold the values of Westeros and hold myself to them as well. To do my best to make this country and the world a better place for everyone.” Dany kneels and lets her new crown be placed on her head. The whole room claps as she stands tall and makes her way over to the Iron Throne. She sits down and can’t help but smile because this is her first time sitting on it–she waited until this moment to do so. Dany now looks over at Jon who is taking his vows from Sam:
“I, Jon Stark, first of his name, former Commander of the Nights Watch, of House Stark of Winterfell, King of Dragons Bay, King of the Rhoynar, First Men, and Andals, protector of the Realm, and King of the 7 kingdoms do solemnly swear to be just and rule fairly. To protect all people, no matter their social status. To uphold the values of Westeros and hold myself to them as well. To do my best to make this country and the world a better place for everyone.” Jon kneels down for his crown to be placed on his head and everyone claps as he sits on his dragonstone throne. Dany and Jon look at each other for a few moments smiling at one another.
The Maester’s take a seat and Dany and Jon gesture the room to quiet down. Dany says “thank you for coming to witness this today. We hope to see you all for our wedding coming up. I have full confidence Jon and I will always do right by our people, so always feel free to approach us with any problems you may have.” People clap. Dany continues “now, we would both like to present some gifts.” One of the Maester’s approach with a decorative cart that has all the crowns on it, a few scrolls, and the sword Daenerys found in the field. Dany looks to Jon for him to present the first crown. He stands up, and says “Sansa, please come forward.” She wasn’t expecting to be called forward so she hesitates to move. Tyrion nudges her and she makes her way up the steps to Jon. Sansa looks beautiful as always. Wearing a traditional Northerner dress that appears to have been custom made for her specific style. It’s burgundy and gold. Her long red hair is down in loose curls. “My little sister, Daenerys and I have chosen to name you princess of the North, warden of the North, and Lady of Winterfell. Jon picks up the direwolf crown and Sansa gasps at its beauty. She bends her knee and he places it on her head. As it is placed on her head, Tyrion is the first to clap for her and he is smiling so big, Missandei follows as her and Sansa have become best friends. Sansa stands up and thanks her brother and Daenerys. “Please know that whenever her call for Olenna, she will come to you. Ride her as often as you can, and I permit her to stay with you in the North as often as she likes. With that said, it’s an order for you to come visit Jon and I every chance you can” Dany said with humor. Sansa smiles and says “I will. Thanks Dany” and she winks at her, Dany chuckles softly, and Sansa walks back down to Tyrion. No one noticed besides Dany, but Tyrion grabbed Sansa’s hand. Jon takes a seat and Dany stands. “Ellaria Sand, come forward.” Ellaria walks towards them. She has her hair back in a thick braid and some stray curls poking out. She’s wearing a long flowing yellow dress with colorful sequins all over it. She catches the eye of many, including Pod who can’t stop looking at her.
Dany says “Ellaria, from my young age you and your family have been allies of mine. Your late husband, Oberyn, risked his life after my brother and I were exiled to Pentos to seek us out and pledge Dorne’s allegiance to House Targaryen when one of us became of age. After he tragically passed, you yourself came to me to pledge your allegiance once more. Let us not forget that you have now earned the name of Queen Slayer. I thank you deeply for everything you have done for the Targaryen-Stark cause. With that…” Dany picked up the gold crown with the sun rays engraved on it “…you are now known as the Princess of Dorne, Warden of the South, and Lady of Sunspear.” Ellaria smiles and bends her knee so Dany could place the crown on her head. “I will serve you well. Now and always, my Queen” Ellaria says as she gratefully accepts the title. She stand up and the room claps again. She makes her way back down to the court.
Dany remains standing. She is exited for what is about to happen. “I now call Missandei and Grey Worm forward” she says. They both walk up to their Queen and King. “Torgo Nudho” she continued. Grey Worm takes one step in front of Missandei. Jon grabs the sword from the cart and brings it forward. Daenerys says, “King Aegon IV gave this sword to his bastard, Daemon Waters. He didn’t care that it was a Targaryen heirloom, wielded by Aegon the Conqueror himself, he wanted to pass it to him because he was a true warrior and he thought he deserved to have it as a gift. Daemon eventually created his own House, House Blackfyre, thus the name of the sword. After his death during one of the rebellions, his half-brother Aegor Rivers took the sword. Aegor then fled to the Free Cities in Essos where he briefly worked with the Second Sons. He went on to be the creator of The Golden Company with the sword still in his hands. It was theorized that Aegor continued the tradition in passing along the sword to the person who deserved it the most, and it must have held all this time. After the war against The Golden Company, I found this sword with a fallen soldier. Even though House Blackfyre were rebels, they were still half Targaryen and I would like to keep the tradition going that was started by Aegor. I would like to give you this sword called Blackfyre. It is the brother sword of my own sword, Dark Sister. Torgo Nudho, you are a loyal warrior and friend. Please accept this sword and be my Master of Laws and the leader of all military activities.” Only on a few occasions has Dany or Missandei seen Grey Worm show any emotion on his face, especially in front of so many people. He collapsed to both of his knees grabbing both of Dany’s hands looking serious, thankful, and happy all at once. “Thank you, I will not let you down, Queen Daenerys” Grey Worm says. Missandei is standing behind him and his reaction makes her heart swell and she smiles for him. “You have become like a brother to me, I know you won’t” Dany says as she grabs his face with both of her hands. He stands up and Jon locks his arm with his and Jon hands over the sword to him. Grey worm bows his head to Jon and he and Missandei start to walk away thinking this was their big gift. Jon says “hold on, theres one more thing.” Missandei and Grey Worm look at each other uncomfortably for a moment and turn back around. Dany reaches for the crown that is of thorns, flowers and butterflies and Jon picks up the crown of thorns. Dany speaks “we here by name you the new prince and princess of the westerlands, wardens of the West, and Lord and Lady of Highgarden. Missandei and Grey Worm look to each other again with blank faces, unsure how to react to the news. Missandei quickly looks over to Sansa because she was the person closest to the Tyrell’s and considered all of them to be dear friends. Missandei wasn’t sure if Sansa would approve. Truth is though, Dany and Jon spoke with Sansa about it prior to the ceremony for her thoughts, but Sansa agreed. Highgarden was a huge city and it needed new people to look after it. Aside from Missandei and Grey Worm being good friends with all three of them, they were honest people with kind hearts who were loyal to the crown. They were the best people for Highgarden. Missandei sees Sansa cheering for her and that helps her calm down enough to look at Dany with wide eyes asking “are you sure?” “You’ll be great” Dany responded with a smile. Grey Worm and Missandei both kneel this time while Jon places the crown on Grey Worm’s head and Dany places the crown on Missandei’s head. They rise and there’s tears coming from Missandei’s eyes. Being a friend, Dany reached for her and gave her a hug “you’re my sister. I love you.” “I love you too” Missandei said back to her. Dany stepped back and said “as I told Sansa, Visenya is yours whenever you call for her. She is welcome to stay with you for however long she likes. But of course, you must fly to visit as often as you can too.” “Of course” Missandei said with a half smile, still not believing what has happened. They step back into the court, with Grey Worm clutching his new sword like it’s the most important thing he has ever touched and owned.
Gendry is called up. Jon says “you are the Warden of the East and Lord of the Stormlands, but we would like to add prince of the easternlands to your title. He and Dany found Robert Baratheon’s crown of antlers when fixing up the Red Keep to their liking and presented that to him. He kneeled and accepted the crown.
Gendry was a great and loyal leader. He was always communicating with the Red Keep and he made the people who were living in the east very happy. A lot of people compared him to Ned Stark and his own father in Robert’s younger days. He married Meera Reed and they had two children together. They both had the blackest of hair and bright blue eyes. The boy was named after her deceased brother, Jojen. The girl was named Cella. Once things calmed down, Jamie went to visit Gendry. He reviled that Cersei was his true mother. Gendry knew his mother was blonde but he never thought it would be Cersei. However, it was known that Cersei’s first born son was a black haired beauty. Cersei would tell people she lost him during childbirth, but really she gave him up because she couldn’t stand the thought of having Robert’s child. She still had a soft spot for him so she would visit him in Flea Bottom periodically when he was younger and that’s why he can remember her hair. She disguised these trips as charity so no one was ever suspicious. Even though she didn’t accept him as hers, she still tried to protect him when she ordered to kill all of Robert’s bastards. She did want the others dead but not her own child. She knew exactly where he was and what he looked like. He would have been the first one dead if she wanted him gone. It wasn’t her that told the guards about him, it was the rumor that was started by Ned Stark that had the guards seeking Gendry out. When Jamie told Cersei that Gendry was still alive afterwards, she was actually happy about it. Cersei may have been a tyrant but she did care about her children. This took Gendry a long time to accept. He wasn’t ever a bastard. Like Jon, he was lied to his whole life. This made Jamie and Tyrion his uncles, which he was excited about though, because this meant he still had family that was alive and who wanted to be in his life now. Tyrion was a great man and Jamie became one. Gendry looked up to both of them. All three of them would visit each other when they could and they always had a great time. So when Meera birthed a girl, Gendry wanted to honor his half sister-cousin who he never met, but Jamie said she was the sweetest girl in the world. Since Storms End was close to Kings Landing, Gendry and Jamie’s children would often see each other and played together.
Yara Greyjoy is called up and is officially presented with her modified crown that was stolen by her uncle. Dany declares her Queen Reaper of the Iron Islands and Master of Ships.
Bronn the Blackwater is called up. As requested by Tyrion, he is given the title of Lord of the Twins. He will control who gets to pass from the north to the south and south to the north. Most importantly, he got his castle. He settled down with a pretty woman from The Sisters, an island chain in the Bite.
Daario is called forward to his surprise and accepts the Master of Coin position. With eight dragons at Khaleesi’s command, bringing Daario to Westeros for a few days every couple months was never difficult. He always liked the journey too. He went to have a grand wedding with Iliana and had two beautiful children. They’d always love coming to Kings Landing with his parents to play with Jon and Dany’s kids.
Jon and Dany then call Tyrion up. “We ask you to continue to be our Hand to the Queen and King but would also like you to accept Lord of Casterly Rock and prince of the Rock Region. The entire area of Casterly Rock, the Red Lake, Pinkmaiden, and Riverrun were all located in a very mountainous area Dany decided to name the Rock Region.Tyrion has wanted the Rock for as long as he could remember, and as there are only two Lannister’s left in the world, Dany thought it would only be right to let one of them have it, and she knew Jamie didn’t want it. Tyrion would finally get the chance to do what his father was trying to do for so long–make a good legacy for the Lannister name. He accepted his crown.
Sam is called forward to become the Grand Maester. He, Gilly, and little Sam move to the Capital immediately and live in their newly renovated quarters. In about a year, they would find out that they’re pregnant. They would have a little girl named Melara, after Sam’s grandmother. Gilly and Dany became good friends with her living in the castle and Gilly even helped raise all of Dany’s kids. She would also teach Dany how to cook Jon’s favorite dinner and dessert.
Next was Jamie and Octavia. “Jamie, you have proved yourself worthy to the crown and we would be honored if you remained Commander of the Royal Guard.” Sam brings the Book of Brothers forward and he reads what Jon, Dany, and Tyrion added. “Jamie showed courage and bravery when he left Kings Landing as a traitor to the Usurper Queen Cersei Lannister. He came North to fight against the Night King alongside former enemies of his House because he wanted to fight for the living and made an oath to help. He fought bravely on the frontlines against the Army of the Dead, he not only defended himself well, he assisted everyone he could that was in trouble. Many lives were saved because of him. He made peace with all of the Northeners as well as with Queen Daenerys Targaryen and King Jon Stark and undoubtedly proved his loyalty. A true Knight fights for the Realm, no matter the costs and no matter of politics. He defended his King and Queen when they had a surprise attack at Winterfell. He assisted in the Battle of Kings Landing and with the assassination of the Usurper. Ser Jamie Lannister is an outstanding character and will continue to do great acts for the New World.” Sam turns to a blank page and waits with a pen and quill. A few tears roll down Jamie’s face. All he ever wanted was to be a great knight and have his part of the Books of Brothers filled with meaningful acts he did. Jon adds “we also want you to know, we abolish the rule that states the Knights of the Royal Guard, formerly known as the Kingsguard, cannot take a wife, bare children, or hold land. Love is not the death of duty. Love is duty. There would be no duty without love.” Jon smiles at Dany and then Dany glances at Octavia and smiles. Jamie looks over to Octavia next and gives her hopeful eyes. Jamie bends his knee to Jon and Dany and says “I humbly accept. Thank you.” Dany speaks now to Octavia. “Octavia Kate Oakswood, King Jon and I would like to offer a position on the Royal Guard as well. Will you accept?” “Yes, my Queen. Thank you” Octavia says and bends her knee. Jon walks over to her and knights her. She says the words. Sam writes “Ser Octavia Kate Oakswood” on the blank page in the Book of Brothers. Dany continues to talk so Sam could write “Octavia came beyond the Wall to be brave and fight the Army of the Dead. She fought on the frontlines and protected everyone in her battle position. She defended her King and Queen in a surprise attack at Winterfell. She assisted with the Battle of Kings Landing and with the assassination of the Usurper. Ser Octavia Kate Oakswood will do great deeds for the New World.” Octavia stands and moves next to Jamie. Jon hands then both scrolls with their official new titles on it and the deed to their new home, right outside the Red Keep. It was a spacious two-story home with nice furnishings. Tyrion wanted to gift it to his brother, and Dany thought it was a good idea, as she was sure they were going to be husband and wife soon. The guards barracks is not place to raise a family and for a married couple. Octavia was especially excited for this gift. She liked where she came from, but she always dreamed of living in a city and being in a warmer climate. She thought her house was a beautiful castle. She loved the busy city life, but when she had time, her and Jamie would go on camping trips. She was still a Wildling, and Jamie loved her for her spirit. They both made each other very happy. Dany was right too. Within a month the couple had a small wedding ceremony. Jamie wore his Royal Guards uniform and it was the first time he saw Octavia wear a dress. The weather was warm now and she wore a dark green silk dress to match her eyes. It was a small ceremony that contained Jon, Dany, Brienne, Tormund, Tyrion, Sansa, and a few other close friends of Octavia’s. Over the next 3 years, they would have two children. First was a little girl and they called her Leila, after the beautiful Leila Lannister who was once Queen of the Iron Islands. The second was a boy who they called Lann, after the man who founded House Lannister. They had Jamie’s kind heart and Octavia’s wild nature. The children had Octavia’s black hair but Jamie’s bright green eyes. These would be known as the new Lannister traits of his line–all his grandchildren and great grandchildren would have black hair and bright green eyes.
Jamie and Octavia step down back to the court. Brienne and Tormund approach. Jon says “Daenerys and I would like to offer you both a position on the Royal Guard.” Brienne speaks before Tormund had the chance to. Brienne quickly bends her knee and says “permission to speak freely, your Grace?” Dany says “of course.” “I have learned a lot about my person since fighting for the both of you. My entire life, I have always wanted to be a knight and have the honor to serve the king or queen, in this case both, that I chose and to serve them on the Guard. What I have realized though, is that I want many things. I still want to be a knight, but I would also like to keep traveling all over the country, to have a husband and children…I know you just abolished the rule but I want to be free to go everywhere with my family. I would love to build a home in the North. A woman should never settle for anything less than what she wants. If you would let me, I would still like to be Ser Brienne of Tarth, but serve you from all over the Realm. Wherever I go, I will fight in your name and uphold all your values and laws, and if you ever call for me, I will not hesitate to show up to be by your side” Brienne said. Dany says “I agree with you. A woman should never settle. You have mine and Jon’s blessing to do just as you said. I am assuming Tormund will be accompanying you?” Tormund blurts our “wherever my big lady goes, I go with her” he said proudly. “Plus the South isn’t a place I’d like to stay to long in. I am a Northerner by blood.” Dany smiles at the both of them as says “please be sure to visit when you can, you both will always be welcomed here. Thank you for your service to the crown.” Tormund goes in to hug both Jon and Dany. He’s so big, he was able to scoop both of them up in his massive arms. “We will. I’ll want to see these little things once they’re born” Tormund says as he cupped Dany’s bump lightly.
Tormund and Brienne have a long adventurous life together. They built a large, beautiful cabin beyond the wall and every few weeks, they’d come back to it from a trip they were on. They saw everything they wanted. They saw all of Westeros and sometimes Dany would ask them to go to Essos for her on business. They would see all the Free-Cities and Dragon’s Bay. They would have five children, three boys and two girls. As Tormund once predicted, they were huge. It made Tormund very proud. They were all around six-and-a-half feet tall. Almost all the kids had strawberry blonde hair and piercing blue eyes. Their names were Torwynd (after Tormund’s first son that died), Ryker, Sapphire (for the nickname of Brienne’s home island of Tarth), Renly (for Renly Baratheon, the first person to ever understand Brienne), and the youngest girl was named Ygritte. She had bright red hair with beautiful grey eyes. When she was born, Tormund shed a tear because she looked so much like the friend he lost in a battle at Castle Black. When Jon met her for the first time, he too was reminded so much of his former lover.
The Giantsbane family would all travel together on their adventures, leaving not one child behind. Before the kids would walk, Tormund would fasten them to his chest and would carry the. He did this for all five of his kids until they each could walk. A big man with fiery red hair and a wild red beard carrying a baby around always made Brienne laugh, but it just made her love him more, and Tormund was more than happy to do it. Brienne always admired him for being a great father–teaching his boys and girls how to fight and hunt. When they got old, they retired to their cabin to watch all their grandchildren grow up and teach them everything they knew. Their grandchildren especially loved all of their stories they had to tell.
Jon calls up Andrew McClay, a Stark loyalist who is a great fighter and who has survived every battle Jon had up to the Throne. 1. Jon says “Andrew, you have fought next to us since this war began, and you’re one of the best fighters I have ever seen. You stood your ground against the Wildlings before our peace, you’ve stood against the Bolton Army, and the White Walkers several times. We would be honored if you would join the Royal Guard.” Looking honored, he says “I accept, thank you King Jon and Queen Daenerys” Andrew said. Andrew bends his knee and recites the oath Jon says to him. They hand him a scroll with his new title.
Andrew falls in love with a strong northern woman named Maege. She’s always been loyal to House Stark and looks up to Sansa and Arya. She came from a poor family but she wanted to become a builder. She was noticed for her abilities at Winterfell and Jon asked her if she’d like to come to Kings Landing for work. They would provide a small house for her to stay in and she ended up working on a lot of big projects in Kings Landing and was paid generously. This is how Andrew met her. They were both awkward around each other for a few weeks as Northerners are very stern and serious. It took a while but finally Andrew tells a joke: “why do Lannister’s have such big beds?” Maege looked confused. “Why?” she said. “Cause they push two twins together to make a king!” Maege starts to laugh so hard she has to clutch her stomach. This made Andrew laugh, thus starting her beautiful and simple relationship. They had 4 kids together and would travel up North when they could.
Daenerys mutters a few words to Sam and he writes things down on two blank scrolls. She calls two Dothraki bloodriders of hers that she noticed who seem to like the life in Westeros. Cohollo and Haggo where their names and they have been loyal to their Khaleesi since her and Khal Drogo’s wedding night. Dany asked if the both of them would like to be on the Royal Guard and without hesitation, they both agreed. They bent the knee to Dany and they recited the oath from her and took their titles. They were the most noticeable among the Royal Guard because they didn’t want to wear fancy armor. Instead, they always wore war paint across their face and they each had a huge Targaryen-Stark symbol tattooed on their back. The both of them enjoyed their position in the city and eventually wed. Cohollo fell in love with a Wildling who had straight golden hair and auburn eyes. Haggo fell in love with a Dornish woman warrior.
Red Roach, Grey Worm’s second in command since White Rat died, is called forward. Daenerys asked Grey Worm before the ceremony if it he would make a good fit for the Royal Guard and he agreed. Red Roach took his oath and accepted his title. He too never wore the traditional armor. He had a modification of his Unsullied uniform made. An all black uniform that had a faint shadow of a dragon on the front with the Targaryen-Stark symbol on his back. He was the most serious at his job, standing close to Dany and Jon when they met with the public and patrolled the streets in silence unless someone was breaking the law. It took him a few years, but he ended up falling in love with a farm girl. She had dark brown hair that was very curly, and it came the whole way down her back. She had nice cheekbones, very full lips, almond shaped hazel eyes, and tan skin. Her name was Iris. Her family’s farm was only 5 miles north of Kings Landing. One day Red Roach was out riding his horse, just patrolling the areas outside city walls. He heard a girl scream and rushed to find the source. The farm was being attacked by three thieves! Within a few seconds, Red Roach had killed all of the attackers. They thanked him repeatedly and offered him a basket of goat cheese and fresh bread. He kindly declined the offer but then he saw her. She was covered in dirt from working in the garden but she was still the most beautiful woman he ever seen. She shoved the basket onto him and forced him to take it. Iris made a point to come to the city at least once a week to buy, trade, or sell items hoping she would see him again. The third time coming to the Capital, he finally saw her when he was on a walk. They spoke to each other more and more every time she visited. After a few months, he agreed to have dinner with her and her family. It then turned into him having dinner with them two to three times a month. Finally, after a year, he asked her to marry him. She never wanted children, she wanted to be an inventor, so she was okay with how he was, plus she never once felt unsatisfied with him. There’s many more things a couple could do. Dany gifted them a small house in the city, right next to Jamie and Octavia. It had two bedrooms but they would sleep in the smaller of the two bedrooms because Red Roach helped Iris turn the entire other bedroom into her laboratory. It took her a while to learn, she would often be seen running out of her home with a big cloud of smoke behind her or a loud crash. Eventually though, she became a very successful inventor. Dany and Jon would hire her to work on new projects all over Westeros and Essos. She and Sam would even become very good friends–they loved to pick each other’s brains. Overall, Iris and Red Roach had a very happy life together.
This would leave one more spot open on the Royal Guard. Jon and Dany gave the spot to a fierce woman warrior from House Piper of Pinkmaiden in the Riverlands. Her name was Melony Piper and she has hair that looks like Sansa’s and grey eyes. She was very beautiful and had many suitors. 2. She was a person that was suggested by Sansa, actually because noticed how she fought in battles. Melony was able to fight 10 men at once. Her and Sansa became friends and Melony has expressed her loyalty to Jon and Daenerys on several occasions. Melony takes her oath and accepts her title. She is excited to finally become a knight. She never thought it would happen until Daenerys became Queen. Melony has always valued and admired strong women, and her biggest role models were Brienne of Tarth, the first female knight of the 7 Kingdoms, Sansa Stark, a dragonrider, a successful warrior, and the Warden and Princess of the North, Arya, the best known assassin, and of course Daenerys. Melony was still young, about 17 years old, but she only got better and stronger as she aged. In a few years, she would fall in love with a woman from the Eyrie who was training to become a master archer. Melony would go on to marry her.
That completed the Royal Guard and the crowning of the leaders. A few more smaller titles were to be handed out. Sandor was offered Clegane’s Keep if he wanted it but he turned it down because of all the horror that has happened there, and all of his childhood abuse. He told Dany and Jon to knock it down. With its proximity to Casterly Rock, Tyrion asked Dany if he could buy the land. She agreed and over the years, Tyrion turned it into a massive vineyard and began making and selling his own wine. He also opened a luxury inn on the property. It didn’t take long for it to become known as the best wine in the world. He called it “Here Me Roar” after his House’s words. The vineyard and the inn became a popular vacation spot for couples.
Sandor instead accepted The Dreadfort, the former home of the deceased House Bolton. He accepted this because of its proximity to Winterfell. He wanted to be close to House Stark if something were to ever happen. When he officially took the castle, Sansa hired people to remove all tracings of the Bolton’s and to make it a better home for Sandor. Sansa and Sandor were really good friends, even though they never said they were, but they knew. Her own words echoed in her head when she first visited him, “your words will disappear. Your house will disappear. Your name will disappear. All memory of you will disappear.” The second time she visited, she refused to think about Ramsey at all. Sandor lived a simple life for the rest of his days. He visited Winterfell often and Sansa, Arya, and Yara visited him a lot too. He kept his direwolf and they went everywhere together. He named it Arry, the name Arya gave herself when posing as a boy and traveling with The Hound. To everyone’s surprise, he fell in love with a Wilding woman who was fierce but soft at the same time. They had one son together and named him Beric.
Arya gets called to the front. Dany says to her “you helped us win this war more than once, and as promise, you may ask for anything you want. Arya pauses and looks slightly nervous. “I would like it to be law that a person could be with whoever they wish to be with and not be punished.” Daenerys looks at her and says “as you wish. Did you think about what you would like to call your dragon?” “Yes, I think I want to call him Syrio.” “Then his name is Syrio. You may call to him whenever you need and he may stay with you as long as he wishes. Ride him as much as you can, and come visit me and your brother when you are able.” Dany and Arya embrace in a long hug, they would consider themselves to best friends. “I would like to ask of one more thing” Arya said. “I would like to be a knight. It’s been something I’ve always wanted.” “Arya, you are the best assassin, warrior, and spy in this entire world. I don’t believe there is anyone that could beat you in a fight, even Grey Worm. Jon, please knight your sister.” Knight was the only title Arya ever wanted to hold. She says the words, jumps on Jon and hugs him tight. Before she runs back into the crowd next to Yara, she tells Dany, ” I think you’re going to get four direwolves added to the Red Keep.”
Arya, like Brienne, became a traveling knight, protecting anyone who needed help and serving justice in Dany’s and Jon’s name. Brienne and Arya would run into each other sometimes in their own travels which they both enjoyed. Sometimes Dany and Jon would have them go on business together.
Arya went back and fourth between the Iron Islands and Winterfell a lot, but she never went the same route. Sometimes she’d stop in Highgarden, Dorne, Kings Landing, Storms End, the Vale, or sometimes other smaller towns in the North. When she traveled these long distances, she always took Syrio so she wouldn’t be gone for months. Sansa loves when Arya visted in Winterfell and so did the people. The little girls of the North would always look up to the sky for Arya’s green and blue dragon. There would be stories told about her for centuries. Jon and Dany loved when she visted Kings Landing too, because she was so good with their children. Arya and Yara obviously never had any children, they never wanted to be mothers, but they really loved and spoiled all their niece and nephews. The kids thought they were the best aunt’s in the world. When they grew up, they would often accompany them in their travels or stay with them in the Iron Islands. When Dany and Jon would travel to unfamiliar places in Essos that weren’t liberated yet, Arya always go with them and act as a guard. About twice a year, Arya and Yara would go sailing on month long trips to explore. Nymeria ended up staying with Arya too. She never owned a horse ever again. She even fashioned a harness for Nymeria, so when she traveled on the back of Syrio, Nymeria would come to. Syrio would carry her with her strapped to her ankle. People thought it was amusing but Nymeria loved it. She was a nomad like Arya.
Her and Yara got married within a few months of the war ending. They both wore their armor. They had a big party on the Iron Islands and her whole family, including Dany, Tyrion, Brienne, Tormund, Missandei, Grey Worm, Gendry, Meera, and Ellaria, all shown up for the event. It was the happiest day Arya ever had. They realized the Greyjoy line would end once Yara passed on, so they started a new tradition of giving it to the most deserved person and approved by the people of the Iron Islands. The next in line was actually one of their nieces who loved the Islands more than where she came from and felt like she was meant to be Iron born. This niece would move to Pyke when she turned 16 and work next to the Iron born for decades. When Yara would announce her ascension, the people were very happy with Yara’s choice.
That concluded the crowning ceremony and everyone went home pleased and hopeful for the future. Afterwards, Jon and Dany laughed about their Royal Guard. “Two Dothraki, a Lannister who killed my father, a Wildling, a Northerner, and Unsullied, and someone from the Riverlands. This must be the most diverse in history!” Dany said.
In the days approaching Dany and Jon’s wedding, Dany visited Missandei and Grey Worm in Highgarden to help them get acclimated. They created a new House name; House Summer. Grey Worm was born in the Summer Islands and the Summer Sea is what lays between the Summer Islands and the Isle of Naath. Their House Banner contained a beautiful butterfly on top of the Tyrell flower, to help represent Missandei’s culture. Their new House words were “Fire and Fight,” and homage to House Targaryen. Dany gifted them a few dozen banners to hang around the city, and Grey Worm invited some Unsullied to live in Highgarden if they wished. About 100 moved into the city and a few 100 moved to the country side of Highgarden. This made Dany feel comfortable that her best friends would always be safe. Missandei came to Dany and asked if she and Grey Worm could adopt some of the children from the North who lost their parents in the war. Dany of course agreed. Grey Worm stayed in Highgarden and Dany went with Missandei to the North. Their trip only took two days as they only stopped once. Drogon and Visenya were riding fast. Dany ran into Jon at Winterfell as he was helping Sansa transition into her role, even though she didn’t need much help, but he still wanted to make sure she was okay. Dany and Jon kiss as soon as they see each other and spend a few hours together. Missandei asks Sansa about the adoptions and she is more than happy to help Missandei. Drogon, Visenya, Olenna, and Rhaegal are happy to see each other too. They fly up in the sky chasing each other around.
Missandei ended up choosing 8 children. The children were young and still needed parents. The older children weren’t left helpless. Sansa has a special bunk house made just for them so they would have a place to live. They each would have their own bedroom, they were small, but they were still grateful, and they had to maintain their own farm and livestock for food. They would also take turns running the trade routes for Winterfell for jobs. They were always accompanied by a guard for protection, but they rarely ever had any issues like that. They’d run into the occasional thief but it was never anything they couldn’t handle. Sansa would let all the kids train with Arya when she’d hold lessons when she came to visit. They were also allowed to train with Sansa’s expert bowman and the expert daggermen. Sansa expanded her knowledge about how to use a her Valyrian steel dagger and became a master bowman in a few short years. The orphans were always looked out for, something Sansa ensured, a trait that she learned from her formerly good friend Margaery.
All the children kept their first names but all agreed to taking Summer as their last. When Dany saw how many children she chose she laughed. Dany, Missandei, Sansa, and Jon all assisted in the transportation. All the children thought it was so neat to be riding on the back of a dragon. They had two children on each so an adult could make sure they would not fall off. When Grey Worm saw them, he smiled because he built a bond with all of them in the North. He always fed and played with them. They run in his direction and jump all over him. It didn’t take long for them to start calling Missandei and Grey Worm mom and dad. They ended up adopting 4 more children that were orphaned in the Highgarden area. They had a total of 12 children. It was always crazy in the palatial keep but Missandei and Grey Worm loved it. You could always hear little feet running in the halls and laughter. Missandei would teach all of their children the language’s she knew and Grey Worm taught them how to fight. In fact, people would travel from all over the world to attend training with Grey Worm. The demand was so popular, he would schedule training classes a few times a month. So many people would show up that they built a massive, but modest, open arena a half of a mile outside Highgarden’s walls down the Ocean Road. Around it was designated camp grounds for the visitors. Eventually, they built a very large inn next to the area so nobles would have a nice place to stay. There would be 3 suits that were off limits though. One would be for Arya and Yara, another for Jon and Dany, and another for Sansa. They all occupied the upper floor that had a beautiful view of the Briar Maze and they could see the ocean in the distance. House Summer profited a lot from these training classes, so much so, they were able to donate 80 percent of their profits. They gave 20 percent directly to the crown so Dany and Jon could use it for good wherever they needed to, and the other 60 percent was put into the infrastructure of the West. They helped create jobs, more roads, more trading routes, homes, and put in more farms and businesses. Highgarden quickly became the wealthiest city in the known world.
Missandei and Grey Worm had a beautiful wedding one week before Dany and Jon’s. Missandei wore a traditional Highgarden dress with her own twist on it. It was sky blue and had a long train. She had a gold lace overlay on the bottom half of the dress that had flowers and butterflies all over it. The top half shown her arms and had a low v-neck, and the back was opened as well . There was gold beading lining the top of the dress. Of course, Dany did her hair in complicated braids and curls. Missandei was truly stunning. Grey Worm, for the first time, wore traditional Highgarden nobleman clothes. They were also sky blue but very simple. Grey Worm felt odd in them but everyone else thought he looked handsome. The wedding was in the garden and all of their friends attended in addition to some other Highgarden nobles and common people. Missandei asked if Dany and Sansa could give her away and they happily agreed. It was a beautiful ceremony and the beginning of a very happy life they both deserved. Missandei and Grey Worm worked so well with each other and stayed head-over-heels in love with each other for the rest of their days. People envied their marriage. Their eldest adopted daughter took over Highgarden when Grey Worm and Missandei stepped down. She married Tormund and Briennes eldest son, Torwynd.
With only one week until the wedding, Dany and Jon are covering as much ground as possible so they could enjoy some time together after the ceremony. They kept the Royal Fleet in Blackwater Bay and it extended the whole way out to Dragonstone. Some people liked living on the ships, and more than half the Dothraki went back to the Great Grass Sea, but some decided to stay. Most of the Unsullied stayed, as Essos only brought on bad memories. There were a handful though that went to live with the Dothraki. The remaining Unsullied and Dothraki went to be stationed around the country in various towns to keep peace and enjoy life. Some would stay stationed at Dragonstone.
Every night, Jon and Dany would eat dinner together and fall asleep next to each other. The floor surrounding their bed was always occupied by direwolves. Ghost slept on Jon’s side, of course. Dany’s direwolves slept on her side. Dany decided to name her Lyanna, after Jon’s birth mother and the fierce Lady Mormont. The three younger pups would take turns sleeping on their bed with Jon and Dany. They were young, but they were still big. The all orange one with brown paws and a brown tail was called Tully, for Catelyn Stark’s House. The grey one with dark red paws and a dark red nose was called Shadow, after Jonquil Pool, also know as Scarlet Shadow. She was the sworn bodyguard of Queen Alysanne Targaryen after her attempted assignation. The golden colored one with black ears and a black belly was called Rickon for Jon’s fallen cousin-brother. There was one more direwolf though who didn’t have a known owner. When Sansa showed up for the crowning ceremony and left afterwards to take a walk around the gardens with Tyrion, the tan direwolf with dark brown streaks approached her. The direwolf knew that Sansa was supposed to be his owner. There was something familiar about his eyes to Sansa, and because of this, Sansa named him Theon. Theon was always by her side, sometimes though, Sansa would find him by Theon’s statue in the Winterfell crypt which she found was odd. Bran explained that sometimes animals have part of a spirit of a passed loved one. He believed a part of Theon was in her direwolf. This made Sansa feel a sense of comfort always.
The three young dragons would fly around and hunt with Rhaegal and Drogon during the day and would sleep with them at the Dragon Pit. There was a sky blue dragon that had some Silverman dark blue in it. This one Dany names Dreamfyre, as princess Rhaena Targaryen has a dragon similar by description. The silver one with golden eyes was call Meraxes who Rhaenys Targaryen once rode. The third one, a pale grey and white dragon, was named Grey Ghost, after the elusive dragon who was never ridden or often seen.
Dany and Jon hired workers to fix the dragon pit. However this time, there would be no roof or chains. Drogon kept the other dragons in check so Dany and Jon never had to worry about them eating things they weren’t supposed to or doing damage to anything. The new dragon pit was made out of beautiful stone. In the center was a huge pool for them to play in. They’d breathe fire into the pool so it would always stay hot. They had huge patches of grass, leaves, and moss brought in so they’d have something comfortable to sleep on. Jon thought Dany was going overboard but Dany didn’t care. She wanted them to have a nice home. There were steel signs above each of their “beds” with their names on it. Including a spot for Olenna, Visenya, and Syrio. About once a month, Dany would buy cattle, sheep, or pigs from nearby farms or she would bring in a few wagon loads of fish for them to eat. She didn’t want them to be domesticated like the other dragons, she wanted the dragons to stay big, strong, and fierce, so they did have to hunt for their own food the majority of the time. But again, she liked to treat them. Drogon would sometimes express his and the other dragons jealousy of the direwolves because they got to sleep in their mother and fathers room and be in the castle with them. Dany always thought this was amusing and she would tell him “if I had a room in the castle big enough for all of you, let alone one of you, you’d be allowed to stay with us whenever you wanted. She and Jon would ride over to the pit at least once a day to visit. On the back of their direwolves, the trip was never a big deal. All of the dragons though were rode a lot. With five riders, they were never bored. Drogon and Visenya would sleep next to each other and fly together whenever their riders didn’t need them.
——–
Dany and Jon’s wedding day come. Daenerys is now three months pregnant. When she wears tighter clothes, you can see her swollen belly now. They decided to have the ceremony in the large field next to the city overlooking Blackwater Bay. Anyone who wanted to attend was allowed to for the ceremony. There were so many people who showed up. All eight dragons flew overhead and all eight direwolves were sitting in the front by the water looking into the crowd. They had a beautiful structure built which they would stand under while they say their words. It was covered in intricate woodwork and flowers. The path Dany would walk on was covered in flowers as well. They laid out so many logs for people to sit on and had their closest friends sit the front. So many people came, a lot of people needed to stand on the sides. Since Dany didn’t have any family left, she asked Grey Worm and Tyrion if they could give her away. They both felt honored to do so.
Dany’s dress was the focus everyone’s attention. It was a beautiful scarlet red A-lined gown. The train on the dress was long and covered in black sequins that slowly faded up the skirt of the dress. She had a simple belt made of dragonglass and rubies that hugged her at her waist. As a gift, Sansa made Dany her shoes. They were black slippers with a small heel. Sansa stitched small red dragons and direwolves all over the top of the shoes. They became Dany’s favorite shoes and she wore them every time she wasn’t traveling. Missandei of course did Dany’s hair but it was kept simple for today. There were three braids in her hair. One in the center and one on each side of her head. They were combined into one braid behind her head and it was tied. The rest of her hair was in loose curls. People didn’t realize how long it was until now, it was touching her lower back. Her silver hair and purple eyes were shining so bright in the sunlight. Her Valyrian steel crown was on top her head. She was wearing the dragon necklace Jon got her too. Jon was wearing new black leather light armor with the Targaryen-Stark symbol on the front of it–he wasn’t one to wear noble clothes. When he saw Dany he was speechless at how beautiful she was. Dany thought Jon was the most handsome guy she’s ever seen. Tyrion and Grey Worm take her on the long walk up to the structure where Jon was at. All the women and little girls were gasping at Dany. They had a dozen bards standing off to the side playing beautiful music.
Sam was officiating the wedding. They couldn’t think of a better person to conduct the ceremony, since neither of them believed in the 7. They wanted the ceremony to be a little different than traditional Royal Weddings. They asked Sam to tell a story about Jon and Dany, and about their journey together as a couple. It took almost 45 minutes and Sam had the crowd laughing at some parts in his story. Dany and Jon sat in golden chairs holding hands while Sam was talking. When it was time to say the words, they stood up in front of Sam. They recited the vows while Sam tied a red ribbon around their hands joining the two. When it was over, they walked closer to the Bay, right behind where they were standing, the crowd was still able to see them, and Jon lifted Dany up in the air to embrace and kissed her. The crowd was so loud they swore it shook the ground. Then all the dragons started to circle around them and they all breathed fire on the both of them. While Dany had a gentle heart, she still wanted to show their power. This became a ritual done at every Targaryen wedding for the rest of eternity when both people had the Blood of Old Valyria. It was a way for the dragons to show they approved of the marriage. Since they both have the original amethysts in their crown and they’re both of Targaryen descent, their clothes didn’t burn and neither did they. All the dragons flew up and started roaring. All the direwolves started howling. Jon mounted Ghost and Dany mounted Lyanna and they made their way to the weirwood tree in the gardens of the castle. Sam met them there and they did a smaller, quicker ceremony in front of the tree since Jon still followed the Old God’s and Dany wanted to respect that. Arya and Yara came on Nymeria, Sansa and Tyrion came over on Theon,Missandei and Grey Worm came over on Grey Worm’s stallion, and Brienne and Tormund came over on their horses. It was just those few to witness this ceremony. The crowd was welcomed on the grounds and in the city to celebrate, but only close friends and family and royals were allowed into the gardens to celebrate with Jon and Dany. They whole city partied once more all night long. When the sun was setting, they both said goodbye to their best friends and family members. Tyrion and Sansa would manage business while they went on their trip. Daario stayed to assist wherever he could. They were good at politics so Jon and Dany were confident everything would be smooth and they were right.
Jon and Dany mounted their direwolves and rode through the city waving to the crowd. Once they got passed the city’s gate, they dismounted and walked a few feet. Drogon and Rhaegal came flying in. Ghost and Lyanna went back into the city. They now climb on their dragons and fly off. They’re only gone for around 9 days, as they do have the country to run plus Dragon’s Bay. Their first stop was in Pentos. This is where Dany grew up and Jon has never seen this side of the world. In about a month, Dany would take Jon to visit Dragon’s Bay. He thought everything on this side was so different but he admired the beauty and the love the people had for Dany.
Dany would take Jon around to visit all of her favorite places growing up and they stayed with Magister Illyrio Mopatis, the person who helped raise her and fight for House Targaryen. Never did he think though he’d have a Stark under his roof. It took Illyrio a few hours to warm up to Jon but he did, Jon was hard not to like. He bestowed the both of them with foreign luxurious gifts to take back to the Red Keep. Dany’s favorites were the silk, the fabric, and the rugs. While she loves Westeros for what it is, she missed things that reminded her of the place she spent most of her life. Illyrio would have everything shipped to Kings Landing for them. On their first night there, Illyrio came to find Dany enjoying tea in the courtyard before bed with Jon. “May I have a word with you, my Queen?” he said. “Yes, of course” Dany responds. Jon gets up to leave but Dany asks him if he could stay. “Illyrio, you wouldn’t mind if Jon stayed?” Dany asked. “I think it should be for your ears only but if you insist…” Illyrio said. “I do” said Dany, friendly but stern. “The children between your brother Rhaegar and his first wife Elia Martell, Aegon and Rhaenys were presumed dead. Little Rhaenys was infact murdered, but Aegon was not. Varys switched babies. During your fathers reign, most people didn’t even recognize that he was going mad because Tywin Lannister was doing a great job hiding it and managing the Realm himself with the small council. The people did notice he was flaky and towards the last years of his reign, his madness was shown to everyone. But the people tolerated it because they all loved Rhaegar and were looking forward to his reign. They believed in Rhaegar Targaryen and they were just riding out your father’s rule. When Robert began his rebellion, he unfortunately sought Rhaegar out and killed him, as you know. Well Varys gabbed Aegon and fled because he thought Aegon would be like your brother and was the best hope for the Realm. He was raised with the Golden Company and was given the best teachers. He learned how to fight, fish, hunt, hide, cook, and learned many different languages. He was bred for the Throne. 3. Varys came back here to find him after he met you and realized you and Jon together were the better option for the world. He was raised thinking he was going to take the Throne but is pleased that you have it. He realized you two brought the entire world together, migrated them as one, fought and won the two hardest wars in history, and won the hearts of the people. That you’re the one with the dragons and he has none. People think he’s dead. The only thing he wants now is to be home and be with family. If you would have him” Illyrio finished. Dany looks at Jon and Jon looks very skeptical. That would mean his half brother would be alive. He was actually very nervous because no one except a few people knew his true identity. “Are you sure it’s him?” Jon asked. “I’m positive. I took him myself” Varys says as he walks out, “I helped raise him and I’ve been over here with him since before the Battle of Kings Landing. If you didn’t survive, I was going to bring him over to fight for the throne. I am very happy you both survived. I still think you’re the best option for the Throne and I’m glad you both are on it. Aegon is actually relieved that he doesn’t have to try to do what you’ve accomplished. He just wants to be with his Aunt.” Varys was going to add in “brother” to the end of the sentence but he realized Illyrio didn’t know about his ancestry and he wasn’t about to go against Jon’s wishes and revile the secret. “Is he here?” Jon asked. “Yes. You can come out Aegon!” Varys said loudly. A young man, slender but very muscular comes walking out. He’s only about a year older than Jon and Dany who are both 23. The man has bright blue eyes and dyed blue hair. He approaches the both of them and bends his knee. Dany can see a faint glow around him. She sees it around Jon too. When she asked Drogon about this he told her that’s a way of identifying a Targaryen, a gift from the crown. This man is indeed of Targaryen descent. Dany wants to say something warm and welcoming but all she can mutter is “hello.” Just last year she thought she was the only Targaryen in the world left. Now she has Jon and Aegon. Together they will rebuild the House. “Queen Daenerys, you are as beautiful as they say. I was once to marry you a few years ago but we could never get the meeting right. I will not use my real name. I will keep dying my hair. I pledge my loyalty to you and King Jon. I am tired of running. I am tired of hiding. I would like to get to know my family” Aegon pleaded. Dany gave a quick look at Jon and nodded her head towards him confirming that this is indeed Aegon and Jon went still. Dany stood up and said “if that is what you wish, we will not tell anyone. But if you ask me, Targaryens should not be in hiding anymore. You can go by Aegon Targaryen, son of Rhaegar and Elia. You are welcomed back home. You can also call me Aunt Daenerys if you want.” She gestured him to stand up and he did and she gave him a big hug. She told him that he could call Jon Uncle if he wanted. Dany wasn’t sure if they sure trust him enough yet to tell him that Jon and he are brothers. Jon and Aegon locked arms. They talk some more and Aegon leaves to wash the dye out of his hair. When he came back, his hair matched Dany’s. Dany thought he was very handsome. The three of them talk all night. Dany did make it a point to tell Aegon that if he ever crossed them, she wouldn’t hesitate to have one of her dragons eat him. He completely understood.
Before Jon and Dany leave Pentos, she sends out ravens to every noble house saying:
“Twenty-four years ago Rhaegar Targaryen and Elia Martell were murdered along with their children, Aegon and Rhaenys. Rhaenys did unfortunately pass away but the baby that was supposed to be Aegon wasn’t Aegon. Aegon was taken by a Targaryen loyalist and was replaced with another child. He grew up in Essos and joined The Golden Company. He is being welcomed back to Westeros and will be the new Lord of Dragonstone, as it is his ancestral right. He has pledged his loyalty to us and is excited to enter his new life.
-Queen Daenerys Targaryen and King Jon Stark. ”
The people of Westeros already highly approved of Dany and Jon, plus they didn’t know Aegon. No one ever called for Aegon to take their place. No more wars, and they new Dany had the power. Aegon was happy on Dragonstone.
They told Aegon that he and Jon were brothers about two months after meeting him for the first time when they felt like he could be trusted. By this time, Jon and Aegon would hang out with each other a lot. With Dragonstone so close to Kings Landing, it was very easy for Jon to quickly fly over on Rhaegal to visit him or pick him up to go on a hunting trip. Aegon and Jon were best friends, and when Tormund came to visit, they would all usually go on an overnight camping and hunting trip in the Kingswood. When Jon told him, Aegon was filled with happiness, because he too thought he was alone in the world. Jon would take Aegon with him to the North sometimes too. The first time Aegon went with him on the back of Rhaegal, Arya just so happened to be visiting Sansa in the North so the both of them were able to meet Aegon. They were hesitant at first, but when they saw their direwolves be playful with him, they accepted him. While he wasn’t technically their blood since he was birthed by Elia and not Lyanna, they still saw him as family. When Aegon first met Sansa, he was so in awe of her and tried to win her heart. Sansa was physically attracted to him and he was very kind to her but she wasn’t sure. She thought she was going to keep her marriage with Tyrion. This threw Sansa in a love triangle for several weeks.

After three days in Pentos, Dany and Jon flew to a secluded island in the Summer Isles. They enjoyed the sandy beach and so did their dragons. Drogon and Rhaegal buried themselves in the warmth and sunbathed for the next two days after their day long flight from Pentos to where they were. Jon and Dany would lay naked on the beach and swim in the ocean exploring the beautiful reefs.
They were only a two hour flight away from Dorne, so they decided to make a stop there before their last destination. They explored the city in the afternoon and then enjoyed an early dinner with Ellaria in the water gardens. They then took off once more and flew the rest of the evening to their cave. They talk about future plans for their world and names for their children.
Five months later
Dany gives birth early to her three babies but Sam said it was normal with triplets. A black haired boy comes first. They named him Eddard. Tully howled outside the window and the dragon Grey Ghost let out a mighty roar. They were excited that their rider was finally here.
Next comes the most beautiful little girl with silver hair. Her name was Rhaenys. Dreamfyre roared and Shadow howled to welcome her.
The third child had silver hair too but there was a single black streak in his hair. They named him Rhaegar. Rickon howls and Meraxes roars.
Dany and Jon are completely in love with their violet eyed children. Their little girl was completely wrapped around Jon’s finger and was Dany’s little shadow. She was often seen riding on Jon’s shoulders or running in the halls with Dany. She always sat in the middle of them at dinner. When she became of age, she oversaw Dragons Bay in the name of her mother and father with the help of Daario and his wife. Together they brought more cities in Essos in to the Targaryen rule. Rhaenys was loved by everyone and was sought after strongly by both men and women. She fell in love with a Dothraki warrior–following in her mother’s footsteps. She lived a very happy marriage with him. When she wasn’t ruling in Dragons Bay, she was running wild on her direwolf with the Dothraki. She would ride Dreamfyre back to Kings Landing a lot to visit her parents. She was very close with them. She had two children with her Dothraki husband. A boy and a girl who were both riders of dragons and direwolves. She, within a few years, became Queen of Essos.
Ned became a great warrior who fell deeply in love with Cella, Gendry and Meera’s daughter. They took over Storms End when Gendry and Meera were ready to pass down the title and ruled under a Targaryen-Baratheon name, keeping the Baratheon name in Storms End. They took their titles very seriously and was always seen riding around on Tully or Grey Shadow visiting the people who lived in their hold. They had one child, a silver haired beauty, who was a rider of both animals. Ned would adopt the name “Father of the Direwolves” after Arya.
Jojen Baratheon ended up taking over Greywater watch for his grandparents when he became of age. He fell in love with Leila Lannister and they had two children together.
Rhaegar would grow up succeeding the Throne. He would have 4 children and would be a great King and treated his Queen equally, just as he saw his father with his mother. The people loved them just as much as Dany and Jon. His first born daughter would be the one to succeed him.
Just like that, the Targaryen blood would be diluted enough to get rid of the Targaryen “madness.” However, most of the children coming from Dany and Jon’s line had purple eyes and everyone either had silver or black hair. But it was important to not dilute the blood too much…
Dany and Jon would go on to have two more children in the next 5 years. One more girl named Rhaella, after Dany’s mother. She was a tomboy and highly admired Arya and Yara. When Dany was in her late 50’s, she would pass Dark Sister down to her. She was the most talented swordsman of all of her children, very close to Rhaegar and Rhaenys. However, she felt like Dark Sister should be continuously passed down to the women in the family, as it is a woman’s sword. Dany knew Rhaenys would not need it. Rhaella spent a lot of her time on the Iron Islands, flying back and fourth on the back of her dragon, Purplewing, who of course was mostly purple, who had bronze undertones. She had Shaera too, her direwolf that was a beautiful chestnut color. She married one of Tyrion’s children and became the Lady Reaper of the Iron Islands. She felt honored to be chosen by her Aunt Arya and Yara to succeed them.
The youngest was Bharbo after her late husbands father. She loved Drogo with all her heart and wanted to honor him by having her child take his fathers name. His hair was black but he too had violet eyes. His direwolf was scarlet and it was named Red. Drogo’s stallion was called “The Red.” It wasn’t given a real name because the Dothraki weren’t sentimental in that way. His dragon was black like Dany’s but he had green undertones and green covering the edges of his wings. They named him Balerion. He married Ygritte, the daughter of Brienne and Tormund. They were both wild at heart and would spend a lot of time with the Wildlings and of then flew over to Essos to be with the Dothraki. They always would spend at least a month in Kings Landing visiting his family though. Together they had six wild children who all became a rider of at least one animal. Some had bright red hair, some had black hair, and some had silver hair. All of them though had violet eyes. Bharbo was inspired by the Dothraki and the stories Dany would tell him about Drogo. He worked out as much as he could and trained hard with his parents Dothraki Royal Guards and became an expert with the arakh. He braided his hair and became heavily tattooed after his first few visits there. He was super muscular from all his training and almost always tan from his time in the Dothraki Sea. He reminded Dany so much of Drogo, even though he was Jon’s son, and looked a lot like Jon without the tattoos and outfits. Bharbo developed a strong sight, similar to Dany’s but more intense. He told Dany one day while visiting “I saw Khal Drogo in my dream last night. He told me to tell you ‘Yer Jalan Atthirari Anni” and that he is always with you. Part of his spirit is in Drogon and in me. He likes father, but he’s still so sorry that he left you so soon. He wishes he was by your side on the throne and was able to lay next to you in bed. He loves you.” Dany cried hard for only the third time in her life. When Drogo died, when Jorah died, and now this. After a few minutes, she smiled and hugged Bharbo so tight. “If you talk to him again, tell him ‘Shekh Ma Shieraki Anni” Dany said. She believed he was with her. She thought she would see him sometimes out of the corner of her eye, but she’s never spoke to him in a dream. In his late teenage years, Bharbo would embark on an important task in Essos with Ygritte.
——
Back in Winterfell, Sansa had a decision to make. She climbed on the back of Olenna and flew to Dragonstone to turn Aegon down. He saw her coming in the distance and quickly made his way down to the beach. She looked into his eyes and as soon as she did, she was having second thoughts. She followed him up to the glorious castle and he led her to a balcony that was now decorated with fine rugs, plants, and trays of food–including lemon cakes, Sansa’s favorite. “Aegon, I’m sorry but…” Sansa started. “I’m in love with you. I know you love me too, with the way we write to each other everyday. The way you look at me tells me that you want to be with me too” Aegon interjected. “But I know Tyrion and he knows me. He knows everything I’ve been through since I was a little girl, he’s been so loyal and kind to me, and I know he loves me” Sansa responded. “Then tell me everything. Please. Aegon gets down on his knees and collapsed his hands in her lap and says, “I want to know everything.” Sansa feels a stabbing pain in her heart because she knows she wants to be with Aegon but she’s scared because Tyrion is so familiar and she has grown very close with him. Aegon is closer to her age though, she thought. She opened her mouth to begin talking and Aegon sat and listened carefully to every word and would give sympathetic responses when necessary. He got emotional when he saw Sansa cry at parts of her story and he lifted her and carried her over to a comfortable love seat and she sat on his lap to finish her long story. When she was done, they sat in silence watching the fire crackle in the fireplace with Sansa in between Aegon’s arms. Aegon kissed her on the head and Sansa felt butterflies in her stomach. She turns around and kissed him on the mouth. He pulled back and asked “are you sure?” And Sansa replied “yes. I’m choosing you.” Aegon smiled so big and kissed her back. One thing led to another and they laid with each other that night.
The next day Sansa decided she had to break the news to Tyrion. She flew to the Rock where Tyrion was taking a break from Kings Landing. She told him that she’s going to marry Aegon and that she’s sorry. Tyrion was heart broken but he couldn’t blame her. Aegon was extremely good looking and was close to her age. They agreed to remain great friends and great political allies. They’d write to each other a few times a month and would always have a good conversation over dinner when in Kings Landing together. Whenever Dany and Jon were absent, they’d always take charge of the Capital.
Just after Dany and Jon’s triplets were born, Aegon and Sansa had a huge wedding in the North. Her dress was grey with a bunch of purple weirwood leaves on it, and since it was getting warmer out everyday, even in the North, she had short purple lace sleeves. Aegon worked hard to make her happy everyday. Since Dragonstone wasn’t really inhabited by common people, mostly just military, Aegon spent a lot of time with her in Winterfell. As the Lord of Dragonstone, he was in charge of overseeing a few islands and towns around Sharp’s Point, so he would need to check in with them sometimes. When he did leave to go to Dragonstone, he would send her a letter, flowers, treats, or other small gifts that he knew she liked everyday he was gone. For the first time in her life, Sansa was so happy to be married. He never stopped proving to her that he loved her and she was so grateful to have him. Twice a month Sansa would escape to Dragonstone for two or three days when she wanted to relax. Sometimes she’d do this before or after a Kings Landing visit. As mentioned above, they had four children. Sansa and Aegon copied Dany and Jon and hyphenated their children’s last name, but as Stark-Targaryen. The first born was a boy who they called Benjin after Sansa’s uncle. He had the Targaryen silver hair. Next was a girl named Talisa Catelyn, who was named after Robb Stark’s wife and Sansa’s mother. She had Sansa’s orange hair. She would be the one to go on marrying Dany and Jon’s son, Rhaegar and become the next Queen. She was elegant, smart, beautiful, and tactical. She was very well liked by everyone. The third child was a boy named Loras. When Loras Tyrell was alive, Sansa knew he was gay, but he was still willing to marry her and treat her with the upmost respect. The last child was, of course, named Margaery. Benjin would work towards becoming the Lord of Winterfell after Sansa and Loras would take over Dragonstone, for a short period of time.
Each of them had direwolves. Talisa Catelyn had a grey and brown direwolf named Robbie, Benjin had orange and tan one named Essy, because it reminded Aegon of the desert in Essos, Loras had a white and grey one call Tyrell, and Margaery had a blonde and white one named Goldie. Two of their children, Talisa Catelyn and Loras became dragon riders right from birth. Talisa Catelyn had a pink dragon with dark purple and dark blue wings and undertones. She was slightly smaller than Dany and Jon’s children’s dragons but she was still big. The dragons name was Dusk, because she matched the sunset perfectly. Loras had a mostly silver dragon with a sea blue undertone and an all blue tail. His name was Mist because he looked like the morning mist. Their two dragonrider children would have violet eyes while the other two shared their parents blue eyes.
When these dragons were hatched, a third dragon who was white and purple was hatched with them. Aegon and Sansa thought it was for another one of their children but it turned out to be Aegon’s. Aegon was very excited about becoming a dragonrider finally. This is what allowed Sansa and Aegon’s marriage to work while still being able to watch over Dragonstone and the entire North. They were able to quickly go back and fourth.
Tyrion became the most well liked ruler of Casterly Rock. If only Tywin knew Tyrion would be the one to create a long lasting good name for House Lannister. A year after the war was won, he would fall in love with a woman from Highgarden. She wasn’t a noble but Tyrion never cared about that. He was free to marry who he wanted, and that felt great. The woman’s name was Alyssa. Her hair resembled honey, her eyes were big and a reddish brown. Her lips were full and she was gifted with all the right curves. She wasn’t very tall, but she wasn’t as short as Tyrion and she was about 10 years older than Sansa. Alyssa was a very talented craftsman. Tyrion met her when he was seeking out someone to make Aegon a new throne for the throne room on Dragonstone. Tyrion was a very good husband to her and she was a good wife. She was smart and learned everything she needed to know about running Casterly Rock so when he needed to be in Kings Landing, she’d have everything under control. They had two children together. A boy named Corlos, after the founder of the Rock, and a girls name was Joanna after his mother. Corlos married Rhaella Targaryen and sat with her on the Iron Islands. He always preferred to be on ships, so he was happy passing on the Rock to his sister. Margaery, Sansa and Aegon’s daughter, actually entered a relationship with Joanna. Joanna lost her first husband in a hunting accident. She was devastated, as she had two boys and a little girl to raise. Margaery and Joanna already knew each other from their parents, so when Margaery heard the news, she went from Winterfell to Casterly Rock as quick as she could. They eventually fell in love and would look after Casterly Rock together and Joanna’s first born son would rule after them. Margaery would unexpectedly take over rule of Dragonstone.
Same sex relationships were becoming normal since the crown allowed it. Women in high positions too were normal. Most noble houses would pass on the title to whichever of their children deserved it the most.
Ellaria, to everyone’s surprise would marry Pod. They had a very relaxed married but they were crazy about each other. Ellaria was able to have two more children. They were a set of twins and were both girls. Their names were Irogenia and Mysaria. Irogenia would succeed Dorne, marrying Lann, the son of Jamie. Mysaria married Benjin Stark-Targaryen and became the Lady of Winterfell. Ellaria bragged to everyone about Pod’s capabilities in the bedroom.
Bran continued his work of the three-eyed raven. Drogon and Dany were discussing an idea about him. They got him to agree to meet with Kinvara, the red priestess that prophesied about Dany being the princess that was promised. Dany and Jon flew him to the Red Temple in Volantis to see her. She would be the best priestess to see, as one of her titles is “the first servant to the Lord of Light.” Kinvara worked on him for hours, and finally, Bran was able to move his toes. She kept going. By the end of it, Bran was able to walk again. Dany and Jon praised Kinvara and pledged their support to the Lord of Light. While they didn’t practice the religion, they valued and respected it.
Bran would sometimes disappear to the weirdwood tree beyond the wall where he once trained at and would stay there for weeks. Othertimes he’d visit his sisters in Winterfell, on the Iron Islands, or Jon and Dany in Kings Landing. Sam liked when Bran visited. He was one of the few people who enjoyed conversation with Bran.
——
Within the next 10 years, Daenerys would be the mother of over 50 dragons. She had to build a bigger dragonpit. Of course not one that could fit all of them, but just one that was big enough for the dragons who wanted to visit their mother. Drogon mentioned to her that the ancient magic would allow Rhaegal, and in time Rhaenys dragon Dreamfyre, to enter the volcano. Jon was now seen as an equal to Dany in the eyes of the old Valyrian ancestors. Dany was thankful because having just Drogon and her manage that many dragons was beginning to be difficult. So Dany and Jon took a trip back to Old Valyria and entered the same volcano. Dany and Drogon stood aside as Jon slid off Rhaegal. Drogon made a few snarles to Rhaegal and Rhaegal snarled back. He dived in head first into the lava. Rhaegal came out being able to communicate with Jon and Dany. He was now almost as big as Drogon. Drogon is the biggest dragon there ever was but Rhaegal was now around the size of Balerion I, Aegon the Conqueror’s dragon, which was still very large, making him the second largest dragon in history. His scales were now just as hard as Drogon’s. Jon could only speak directly to Rhaegal, but Rhaegal could relay messages to the other dragons. This would be the power of the second and third heads of the dragon.
In 6 more years when Rhaenys turned 16, her, Jon, and Daenerys would do the same thing with their daughter and her dragon. Rhaenys was the first head of the dragon of her generation, and when Daenerys was in her 60’s, she was ready to pass down the Mother of Dragons title to her daughter. And on Rhaenys 60th Name Day, she passed down the title to her daughter.
As for the other dragons, not all of them had riders. Some of them would just fly freely around the world. Some were birthed by Visenya and Drogon and some were birthed by Rhaegal and Olenna. The other dragons mated with each other when they wanted. Every time an egg was made though, it was brought to Dany who would have to do the ritual. Sometimes though, she’d stop in the volcano to find more waiting for her. A pyre was built and she would sit in the fire for hours until the egg hatched. People for all over would come to watch this process.
Arya was given the nickname “Mother of Direwolves” as she had over 50 to command as well. Eventually over a 100.
Most people of Westeros and Essos loved the Targaryen-Stark dynasty. Dany, Jon, Sansa, and Arya’s names were the most spoken names in history and most often wrote about. People would sing songs of them, learn about them in school, and name their children after them.
All of them lived amazing, meaningful lives.
The end.
Tell me what you want to hear next! Willing to do more short stories of this world!
1. Andrew McClay- this is the real actors name who was featured in every battle scene in the show. He began fighting with Stannis’s Army but then fought alongside the Starks. He had no lines, but he did have a few cameos.
2. Melony Piper- Melony was a red haired beauty of House Piper. She was the sister of Lord Jon Piper of Pinkmaiden. She was a favorite of Princess Rhaena Targaryen, daughter of Queen Alyssa Targaryen. When Prince Aegon and Princess Rhaena were on their process of the westerlands, it was Melony that showed up to pledge her loyalty of House Piper in Lannisport. When Prince Aegon rose against King Maegor, House Piper took Aegon’s side. Jon Piper said it was because of his daughters friendship with Rhaena. Melony was a warrior who wore mans armor and was talented with a spear. She led the attack during the battle Beneath the Gods Eye against Maegor, but unfortunately her and her brothers were killed.
3. GRRM called Aegon “The Young Griff.” The show never adapted his character but he is a relevant character in the books. He posses as a sellsword for Jon Connington and appear on a boat called the Shy Maid in Voltanis. When Tyrion is traveling through to meet Daenerys, he comes across the two of them.
When Daenerys was in the House of Undying (books) she saw a vision of her brother Rhaegar holding Aegon with Elia Martell laying in a wooden bed. Rhaegar said this boy was the prince who was promised because a red comet was in the sky during his birth.
During Roberts Rebellion, Varys did indeed switch out Aegon with another baby he bought. A tanners infant from Pisswater Bend. He claimed he already had sons and he’s never tasted Arbor Gold, the wine he sold his son for. When Tywin presented Robert with the bodies of Elia, Aegon, and Rhaenys, Aegon’s was the only one unrecognizable. It was damaged so bad, Ned Stark couldn’t even look at it.
Varys originallytook him to Illyrio but then Aegon was exiled to Lord Jon Connington who was Rhaegar’s good friend.
Dany was told about his survival while in Meereen and muses about him. They had plans to meet him in Voltanis to marry each other. Aegon thinks that Dany will hand over her force to him once they are married because it’s his duty to be on the Iron Throne. Tyrion tells him that this is what she created and that she deserves to sit on the throne. He says she will never hand it over to him. Aegon doesn’t take it seriously. Daenerys couldn’t meet up with them in Voltanis because of the attacks in Meereen. Tyrion advises Aegon to sail to Westeros to gain followers for the Targaryen cause. He does this but creates problems by launching an attack on Storm’s End. To read more about him, visit his wiki page:
