Chapter 7 - Horse Lord Vs Dragon Lord

Fourth Moon of 296 AC

[Daenerys POV]

I can't be what I just heard this man claimed to be the son of Rhaegar and he was challenge Drogo for my hand. I thought me Viserys and Rhaenys were the only Targaryen's left there was rumor that Rhaenys had a husband could this be him? This was all feeling like dream and yet I couldn't help but feel tiny bit hope. This man, whoever he was may be my last chance to escape the wedding.

I hear Viserys yelling insults walking towards the men with his sword drawn but before he could get any closer, I hear loud crack and my brothers scream. Viserys was now on the floor crying in pain with a broken and bloody noise. 

''Now he'll know not to approach the King with weapons next time'' said Obara with no remorse.

''Thank you Obara'' said the man known as Aenar.

''Now will you accept my challenge horse lord'' Aenar said mockingly.

The Beautiful women translated for Drogo. He didn't respond with words he'd grab his arakh spoke in Dothraki and everybody made way for the duel.

''Excellent let's get started'' he said as he removed armor. 

Was this fool really going to fight without armor why in God's name would he do that is he trying to prove something?

[MC POV]

I decided to fight without my armor so I could earn more respect from the Dothraki most would think that foolish, but I was demi-god Drogo could not defeat me. I draw my sword Lightbringer get ready to start my dance with Drogo until I felt divine energy coming from my opponent. Sheria sensed it to and started to look at Drogo intently Obara could tell something had change in Drogo. I knew their horse god was not strong enough to provide a blessing neither could it be from the Seven they had no influence in Essos. This must be the work of the Evil Gods it seems one of them want to kill me. It couldn't be the God of Monster or the Cold God so that left the God of Tyranny or the God of Darkness. Drogo had a reddish black energy around him only me and Sheria he has become a champion of the evil gods he was high of power I could see it in his eyes as charge towards me. 

He swung his arakh with speed and precision I raised my sword to block each strike with equal speed and precision the blessing Drogo was provided with wasn't that strong he was only as strong as Arthur when I first performed the blood ritual. These is a test he wants to see my strength now I know which god these is if he wants to me fight so be it.

I rush at Drogo with my own combination of attacks he wisely decided to dodge ''it seems even the savage recognize the danger of this sword. He rushes at me again I meet he's charge head on are blades clash in flurry of strikes. I block he's strikes while he dodges mines this continues for minute until Drogo does something new.

He aims for my leg I moved to block it, but it was faint he moves his arakh at the last second slices it across my stomach. I immediately retaliate and kick him the chest the kick was so powerful he was sent flying to other side of our battle ground. The reason that work is because I'm not used to fighting someone with Drogo fighting style If I was a normal man, my guts would be all over the floor.

''Congratulations savage on getting the first blood'' I said in Dothraki.

He spits out blood and grunts in pain, but he gets backs up to resume are duel.

His speed has increased making it harder to block them all his strikes I increase my own speed making him back of. I finally decide to fight serious I was done testing his power I move so fast not even Obara or Shiera could keep up I go for slashing attack that cut off his sword arm. Drogo screams in agony and clenches his stump. 

All the Dothraki looked horrified moments ago they were cheering for their Khal now they were fearing for his life Viserys looked enrage while he was being tended to by a healer. Daenerys had a look of awe, fear and hope all in her eyes. Jorah was highly impressed by the skill being displayed in the duel. Illyrio looked like he was already planning for the aftermath of are battle.

Drogo grabs arakh from his falling arm he throws the arm towards me while he charges at me, he fuels his blade with divine energy in desperate attempt to kill me. I slice right through his falling arm and clash with his arakh are clash made a powerful CLANG waves of divine energy were unleashed weak willed people fell unconscious.

Drogo goes for another attack, but I move faster and cut his other arm off I follow up with a slash to the chest and finish by cutting his braid off signifying his defeat. Everybody was speechless none said anything until his blood rides grab their arakh and come at me to avenge their Khal. As soon as they move Obara grab her spear and cut all of them down one by one with little effect.

''Dothraki you are mine now does anybody else wishes to challenge me'' I ask in Dothraki.

Hours Later

''I have solidified my position as Khal I still needn't to gain their respect but that would be easy now I need to talk to Illyrio'' I said.

''Let me go through his memories I been working on the spell for some time although he Illyrio might become bit slow afterwards I still don't currently have the skill to do it without breaking his mind'' Shiera suggested.

''Go for it I care not for is wellbeing I just want his memories since you're the one doing the spell I'll leave it to you to collect all of his assets and kill all of his allies except for the spider'' I said.

''As you wish my betrothed'' she said.

''Obara bring Illyrio to me'' I command.

A few moments later she brings Illyrio to me he is nervous but hides it well if he's smart enough to expect my offer he might not die screaming. 

''Hello, your grace it's nice to see a son of Rhaegar still lives'' he said lying through his teeth.

''I'm glad I finally get to meet you Magister Illyrio I would like to thank you for taking care of my aunt and uncle you were able to take care of them when I wasn't for that I'm grateful'' I said sincerely.

He was surprised by my gratitude, but he quickly regained his composure before responded. 

''No need to thank me your grace it was an honor to host the house the of dragon Should his grace need anything I will deliver as long as it within my power'' he said in very respectful tone. 

''I'm glad you say that I would like you to serve House Targaryen one more time'' I said.

''Of course, your grace how may I serve'' he asks eagerly?

''Be still'' I said,

''What do you mean your grace'' he asks confused?

Obara walks behind Illyrio and places her hands on his shoulders keeping him still Shiera walks towards him conjuring mist around Illyrio head she also chanting in High Valyrian.

''Wait your grace I'll tell you anything you want please stop this'' Illyrio said while screaming.

the spell starts and his screams stop is body starts to twitch unnaturally he starts to bleed from his eyes and ears this continue for several minutes until she is done searching his memoires.

''I'm finished with my search you were right that Blackfyre welp this man is father'' she said.

''Thank you for confirming my suspicions make sure you complete my orders by next week that's when we will leave'' I said.

Illyrio was now a vegetable completing unless to anybody. ''Obara have the guards dump his body somewhere outside of camp and bring Daenerys to me''.

''Yes, your grace'' Obara said

Moments later Daenerys was brought to my tent she beautiful but still a girl it seems she is worried she doesn't know if she should be happy or terrified.

''All is well Aunt you don't need to afraid of me I will not harm you'' I said.

''Are you really Rhaegar's son my nephew'' she asked? 

''I am'' I said.

''How do I know you're not lying to me'' she asks?

''You don't I won't ask you to trust me after all trust happens when actions meet words but know this, I am the head of House Targaryen it's my duty to protect you and your fool of a brother''.

''Thank you'' she said.

''No need to thank me it's my duty in the eyes of the Dothraki we are husband and wive do not fear are marriage I will not bed you in privacy I'll court you but in public you'll have to learn how to lead the Dothraki I don't except you to start leading immediately you learn overtime'' I said.

She looked relieved for moment then terrified it was understandable of her age help leading a Khalasar of 40,000.

''You will be educated in the morrow by Shiera my betrothed she teach everything you need to know at night you'll dine with me so we can get to know each other better''.

''Yes, your grace'' she said.

''Know need for that call me Aenar'' I said.

''Alright call me Daenerys'' she said.

''Illyrio gave you dragon eggs may I see them'' I ask?

''Yes, go ahead'' she said. 

Some men went and retrieved the chest of dragon eggs I went to open it to my surprise there were four I known House Targaryen would have five dragons under are banner in total for the Long Night, but I didn't think it would be with Daenerys I thought I would have to go the Shadow Lands or Old Valyria to get it. The one to the far right had red almost crimson like scales the one next to it had cream scales the one on the far left had black reddish scales and the last had dark green scales.

One Moon Later

Leading the khalasar wasn't too difficult I made some new rules they had to treat the slaves somewhat kindly no rape and they had to wash themselves once a day. Some were upset and tried to challenge me all fell to Light bringer this only help my reputation. As I lead them to Vaes Dothraki, we conquered any khalasar we came across. Daenerys education was going well she was learning quickly she was disheartened to find out the truth about her father, but it was needed I would not allow her to live in ignorance. Viserys was still acting like he had a right to be king he was mostly ignored by anyone everyone except for Daenerys and Doreah. He was testing my patience, but I still needn't that fool to serve his purpose. Speaking of fools Robert should be hearing about me and my sister exploits soon I wish I could see his reaction to the rise of the dragons.

Seven Kingdoms of Westeros

[Robert POV]

''Damnit Jon why did you have to assist I come to this damn meeting why couldn't he just take care of it like usual. I said demanded an answer

''Tell him lord Varys'' said Jon Arryn with grim expression it wasn't just him everybody looked grim expect for Littlefinger.

''Your grace my little birds tell me that Slavey's Bay has been conquered, and the slaves have been freed'' said the eunuch.

''That is big news, but what does that have to do with me'' I ask confused. 

''Your Grace they were conquered by Rhaenys Targaryen alongside Oberyn Martell and Ser Arthur Dayne when she conquered Meereen she was crowned Queen of Dragon's Bay'' said Varys.

''WHAT THAT DRAGON SPAWN HOW DID THAT BITCH EVEN GET ARMY AND HOW LONG HAS SHE HELD IT'' I demanded angrily.

''My little birds tell me they have Windblown, Wolf Pack and the Company of the Rose under their command along with the Unsullied they have 11,500 and 2,500 horses and she has held it for four moons turns'' said Varys.

''How is she managing the cities Esso has relied on slavery for thousands surely there's unrest among the nobles'' said Jon.

''She has turned Astapor into a place where she's trains her growing army many freed slaves to opportunity join Yunkai is being used as a navy base where they are building a formidable fleet, they say there are ideas to make ships faster while taken less time to build them Meereen is the capital the much unrest among the nobles they are plotting but the young Queen is ruthless when dealing with slavers or traitor's they are scared of her'' said Varys.

''How is the economy doing it has to unstable surely'' ask Pycelle?

''Its slowly recovering the young Queen has taken half the noble's wealth to help stabilize economy they have already started traded with Pentos, Braavos, Norvos and Lorath''.

''I WANT ASSASSINS MERENARIES WHO EVER IS WILLING TO GO AFTER THE DRAGON SPAWN'' I said.

''Of course, your grace but there's more news the young Queen claims to be betroth to someone named Aenar Targaryen'' said Varys.

''WHO THE FUCK IS THAT'' I ask?

''There should be no other Targaryen male other than Viserys'' said Renly.

''That can't be possible'' said Stannis.

''She claims he is trueborn son of Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark he was the one who gained the Unsullied he was recently seen in Pentos when challenge Khal Drogo to a fight without his armor he did for Daenerys Targaryen hand in marriage after he defeated Drogo he took Daenerys, Viserys and the Khalasar into the Dothraki sea'' said Varys.

[Renly POV]

Everyone fell silent we all looked at Robert fearing his reactions he didn't say anything for moment it seemed like he was processing the information then came the rage. He flipped the whole table over spilling the wine parchment flew everywhere Pycelle looked like he was about shit himself.

''FUCKING SPAWN OF RAPE I WANT THEM DEAD ALL OF THEM I DON'T CARE WHAT IT TAKES OR HOW ITS DOWN I WANT THEIR HEADS SENT TO THE RED KEEPS DOORSTEP GET IT DOWN'' said Robert.
