Volantis 283 AC
(Note: they speak High Valyrian in this chapter, but for your sake and my sanity, I decided to write it in English.)
- POV DONIPHOS PAENYMION
"To what do we owe your visit, Targaryen?"
I asked the Targaryen boy my voice full of disdain a test that his brother had wonderfully failed
"Your brother wasn't very respectful of our ways when he visited us last time," I said to him in High Valyrian not expecting him to know much about it because of how much time his line has spent in amidst the barbarism of Westeros
"I know my brother was a fool who had forgotten his roots and I apologize for his ignorance of his roots," he spoke in perfect High Valyrian surprising me a bit Well that was not what I expected from a Targaryen I thought to myself
"Indeed, he was a fool, along with all of your ancestors too," I tested him again
- POV Viserys Targaryen
"Mind your tongue now I know our kin were not on the best of terms, but we do not have to act like some whorborn Dothraki," I said to the Triarch
"How dare you! To compare us to those animals? Do you seek death boy!?" roared another Triarch gods this is going to be terribly boring to deal with
"I compare you to nothing And no I don't seek death I seek your hospitality and protection ," I said in anatural voice
"The animal who has usurped my family's throne is out for my kin's blood, and I have come to seek the protection of one of the last true bastion of blood of Valyria," I said and I could see some of them nod pleased with my words.
"And why should we care about you and your kin?" said the Triarch of the Tiger side
"Because I am of the same blood as you are the blood of the dragon and I could have gone to Braavos but I didn't," I said as he got quiet
"And why did you not?" asked Doniphos Paenymion.
"Because I am the blood of Valyria and I do not accept helping hand of a descendants of slaves," I answered simply and they seemed especially pleased at that
"And what would we get in return?" He asked
"When I reclaim my throne, I will give you what the Conqueror denied your ancestors," I said to the Triarch, shocking him and all of the other Triarchs.
"And if you fail?" he asked.
"Then I die and you won't lose anything," I answered him as bluntly as I could
"But I won't give you all of them two or three of them will be under my rule," I said to them as They nodded as they started talking among themselves. After some time they were done speaking to each other and looked at me.
"Very well, Viserys Targaryen, you will have our hospitality and protection. In return, when you reclaim your throne, you will give us what you promised," said the Elephant Triarch as he called several slaves.
"I will you have my word," I said.
"Those shall be your servants who will show you to the places where you can rest along with your family they cannot speak nor hear as we use a sign language of old valyria to communicate with our servants so they cannot share our information with anyone you shall have a book of the language by the time of your bath"
"Thank you for your hospitality Doniphos Paenymion," I said as I followed the servants
"A sign language huh that could be useful" I said to myself as I was led to the palace where I was given and it was quite a grand mansion that they have given up
(End of High Valyrian speaking)
"WELL, THAT WAS STUPID HOW ARE YOU GOING TO GET THEM WHAT YOU PROMISED THEM?"
"That is a problem for future me," I said as I prepared myself for a bath.
"And get out of my head! Don't you have something else to do?"
"NO I DON'T" he said in a sad voice
"Then go cunt Come back when I am finished with my bath."
"FINE"
- POV Jon Arryn
Gods curse you Targaryens and your madness.
I cursed in my mind as I looked at the shores of Dragonstone
"That boy is as mad as his father was," I said as I looked at the body of the Lannister His head was gone replaced with a golden lion's head
"The Redwyne to his head was gone replaced by a small wine barrel"
"My lord hand what should we do with the bodies?"
I heard Stannis's voice behind me and as I looked at him I saw nothing but anger but not a normal anger rather a cold one I told Robert not to do it but he didn't listen to me and gave Storm's End to Renly and Dragonstone to him
"Give them to the Silent Sisters to do the right thing for them and send them back to their homes."
He nodded and asked some men to help him with the bodies and I frowned at him why he is doing a soldiers job? he's a lord
"Why are you doing it? Let the men do it," I said to him for it's not his job to help them.
"Those men starved with me in Storm's End and they could have killed me and given me to the Tyrells, but they didn't So I don't see why I shouldn't help them out with the something as little as proper handling of a dead body my lord hand we did it at storms End and we do it here," he said and I was ashamed of myself for not knowing that
