A heavily pregnant ice dragon was currently strolling around the gardens of the estate with Naerella, Raenys and Crystal trailing beside her, Eddarion laid on her shoulders screeched out loudly while Jamerion rested on her other.

Catshaena, Meraxes and Fialova flew around in the air exploring their surroundings enjoying the freedom they have.

For the past month, Lyarra had been here she had taken it upon herself to keep her children from not harming anyone, which resulted in her keeping them in her chambers.

llyrio had emphasized that dragons need to be free which was true, a dragon is not a slave " she thought.

Most Targaryens kept their dragons in the dragon caves of the red keep, but she would make sure her dragons roam free and never be kept prisoners ever again as she has been doing to them.

She would teach them not to harm people, though that may be hard seeing as dragons were known to have minds of their own but Hayate had told her hundreds of years ago the Varylian people were able to control their dragons with some magical object of some sort.

"... It is said that the Dragon Binder had been destroyed when the Doom happened. " said Naerella.

"Oh? Then, how are the Targaryens still able to ride them? It is an ancient house, but the Westerosi accounts only detailed their three centuries of rule." Raenys asked curiously, wanting to learn more about dragons.

" Find the weakness of the young ice wolf and use it against her " Her master had written to her.

The young handmaiden knew those little beasts the princess called children were important to her but not as important as her unborn children and family.

"Rumor has it, that there was an enchanted transfusion between the house's founder and a dragon. He was helped by a mage."

Lyarra's expression was unreadable. To think that my children and I may literally have dragon blood...

The young ice dragon knew her children would be a variety of things seeing as they had the blood of a wolf, dragon and lion flowing through their veins.

Still, I've got to keep them safe. At least Cersei was right about something.

Sansa looked down from her mount for a few days. She had no time to pack her things. All she had was herself and the faint hope of seeing her sisters again. And Rickon too, I suppose, she added.

Fuyutsuki had not said anything to her since the sudden flight. It would be frightening to suddenly hear an animal talk. She cared not for how messy her hair had become, nor the state that she was om. Being a proper lady was a dream she could never hope to achieve now.

The young red wolf soon spoke up, " Where are we going Lord Suguwara" Sansa asked.

" Somewhere safe little red wolf, " Fuyutsuki responded.

" This isn't the way to the Riverlands, " Sansa said.

" No, it isn't, we can't go there it's not safe " Fuyutsuki said.

" Why, not.... My brother controls the Riverlands and my mother resides there. I have family there that can protect me " Sansa exclaimed, not understanding the sorcerer point.

" Tywin Lannister army is currently raiding the region, his little dog Gregor Clegane is raging through the villages, killing and raping woman and children as he goes " Fuyutsuki explained.

" Then, perhaps we can go to the Vale.... My aunt Lysa could give me refuge for the time being, " Sansa answered.

" An aunt who is a lunatic, " her companion remarked.

The young red wolf signed knowing he was right, her aunt Lysa seemed to be losing her mind perhaps she was grieving from her husband's death.

Soon, Fuyutsuki flew from out of the skies and towards the ground landing in some sort of garden.

Sansa climbed off and began to look around at her surroundings, Fuyutsuki soon shaped back into his human form.

" Where are we? " Sansa asked, staring at the sorcerer wondering where he took her.

" You'll see, " Fuyutyski smiled, leading her through the gardens.

_______

Lyarra stopped in her tracks : N-no way... Sansa? Fuyutsuki, you...

She could not believe her eyes. Her sister was safe and sound!

"Please call for Arya. " she requested.

Naerella took a bow, her gaze on Sansa. She looked enviously at the blooming wolf. She had once been a looker in her youth, but her beauty had faded over time.

Fuyutsuki, for his part, kept his gaze on that handmaiden. Something told him that she was a soon-to-be snake.

" Lya, " Sansa said tearfully.

The two sisters ran to each other, reunited at last. Sansa sobbed her heart out, which was rather unfit for a lady, but she did not care anymore.

"I'm sorry Lya, I should have listened to you, Arya, Lady Suguwara... and myself too! You were right about Joffrey, he's no great King! " she ranted, her voice muffled by the ongoing embrace.

"It's all right, Sansa. You're young and impressionable. Given how Mother raised you, you wouldn't know any better. At least now, you've learned ; we all have." replied Lyarra.

Naerella soon returned with Arya in tow. The young she-wolf, to her own surprise, squeaked in delight and relief upon seeing her estranged sister safe and sound.

"Sansa!"

Now there was a group hug to remember. Fuyutsuki watched the wolves have their moment, and quickly transformed into a crow.

There was something he needed to tell Rickon... in person that is.

The sisters pulled away from one another, Sansa's eyes soon widened when she saw her older sister's round belly.

" You're with child " Sansa exclaimed, her eyes still in shock at seeing her sister's stomach.

" Yes " Lyarra smiled, laying a hand on her stomach.

" How far along are you? " Sansa asked.

" 7 months , " Lyarra responded.

" More like 9 months... no offense Lya you look like you're about to drop any day now " Arya commented.

" Yes, I know I am fat as a cow, " Lyarra chuckled.

" Nonsense, sister you are practically glowing " Sansa smiled staring at her sister's round belly.

" Barley, gosh who knew pregnancy could be this uncomfortable. I don't know how mother has done it so many times " Lyarra commented.

" Usually the last stages of pregnancy are, but in the end it'll be all worth it when you hold your child for the first time, " Naerella said.

" You sure know much about pregnancy, do you have any children yourself " Arya asked, staring at the handmaiden curiously.

" No, but I do have a lot of background knowledge of it... back in Myr I would take care of my siblings along with the rest of the imprisoned children there to the best of my abilities, I would get whipped sometimes for disobeying orders and not eat for days " Naerella answered.

" Sorry for asking " Arya mumbled, staring down at the ground, usure what to say.

" That's terrible, " Sansa exclaimed.

" This can't actually be legal right " Lyarra said.

" In some free cities they aren't but in cities like Myr, New Ghis, Yunkai, Astaphor and Mereen slavery plays a big part there it's always been like that " Naerella responded.

" And no one has ever stood up or spoke out against it '' Lyarra questioned.

" No, everyone is too scared to do so in fear of pissing off the slave masters.... The people need hope that they don't have " Naerella signed.

" Anyway, we should head back to the estate... you have an appointment with the masters soon and don't want to be late " Naerella said.

" I just saw him yesterday, " Lyarra groaned, not wanting to walk two flights of steps again.

" Yes but Master llypio instructed me that I take you to the masters at least four times a week to make sure everything is okay with the baby or babies' ' Naerella said.

" You're carrying twins Lya " Sansa squealed happily.

" I'm not sure but it could be a possibility seeing as my husband is a twin himself and I have being read some old history books on House Targaryen and found there were four set of twins in the Targaryen family named Prince Jaehaerys and Princess Jaehaera the children of King Aegon III and his sister wife Queen Helaena Targaryen children as well as Baela Targaryen Rhaena Targaryen the twin daughters of Prince Daemon Targaryen and Laena Velaryon " Lyarra responded.

" So, you carrying twins could be a possibility seeing as it runs in your Targaryen side of the family " Arya said.

" Targaryen, Arya, what are you talking about... our sister is a Stark, " Sansa said, confused about what her little sister was talking about.

" I'm not just a Stark, I'm a Targaryen also " Lyarra whispered..

" What are you talking about Lya " Sansa questioned, eyeing her older sister confused.

" We're not really sisters by blood.... I'm not the daughter of Ned Stark and Catelyn Tully Stark, my real parents are Brandon Stark and Princess Shaena's Targaryen " Lyarra signed..

A few moments of silence went by, the young red wolf stood there in disbelief and shock at what she was hearing.

" So, we're cousins not sisters " Sansa whispered..

" No, you and Arya are still my sisters no matter what.....this doesn't change anything. I'm still a Stark as well as a Targaryen but the north is my home and always will be " Lyarra exclaimed.

" Of course, you're still my sister no matter what " Sansa exclaimed.

" But this does change everything, you're the heir to the north not Robb " Sansa added.

" I don't want to be Queen, all I want is to live in peace and raise my child or children away from Westeros and everything " Lyarra exclaimed.

" You don't actually plan on staying in Essos for the rest of your life " Sansa questioned.

" I don't know " Lyarra signed.

" Whatever you decide to do we're with you " Arya exclaimed.

The three wolves, in the case of one — ice dragon, walked back to the estate, happy that they were together again. Raenys smirked to herself, taking notes of everything. She may not have heard whatever her "master" was saying, but she could use Sansa. The little red wolf looked like she would trust people easily. Yes, family against family. It always worked.

༺❘✦━.·:*✦*:·.━✦❘༻

Rickon had been working hard on his training since that talk with Kyōko. If there was winter, there should be spring. He only hoped that this was not a fake. He imagined the cherry blossoms blooming up North— too cold, he realized

"I see that you have improved in your footwork, little kitsune. " remarked Hokuto.

"What now? Why do you Kamakura people give me strange names?"

"A kitsune is a fox spirit that can turn into people as they please. In my home town, they're portrayed with red or auburn hair. "

"That's interesting. I'm not sure if I'm actually as sly as one. "

Hokuto shook his head. He would beg to differ. Just how many times had that wild pup escape his gaze while he was off running errands for the Empress?

"I'm pretty sure you — RICKON! STARK"

The littlest wolf giggled, scampering off into Kyoko's garden. There it was, the impulse to look into the enchanted sakura tree.

He was surprised to find a familiar face standing before that ever-blooming tree. The boy of around five squealed in delight, embracing the wizard he thought he would never see again.

"Fuyutsuki! "

"Hey there, little pup."

"I've missed you. "

"As have i. Guess what, I have great news for you!"

Before the wizard could continue, Hokuto entered the scene, rather surprised to find the exiled emperor back in his home.

"Someone finally returned."

"Please don't be rude. What news do you have for me, 'Tsuki? " asked Rickon.

"Sansa and Arya are safe. You will soon be an uncle. " replied the mage with a playful wink.

Rickon' s eyes widened like plates. Wait, Lya and Ser Jaime did it? And my sisters are safe!?

"Thanks... finally, sakura blossoms on Lannister blood." he mumbled.

Smiling, he returned to the training yard with Hokuto tailing him. Fuyutsuki also smiled,and transformed himself into a crow. Not now, Kyōko. Forgive me.

Catelyn was beside herself with worry, having heard reports of Sansa going missing. No, not my little dove too!

As the Tully mother started to write some letters she soon began to hear loud noises erupt from outside of her tent and soon a young soldier made her way into her tent and bowed.

" Lady Stark, " the man said and was about to approach her but The Tarth Knight stopped him.

" No farther " Brienne said, pushing the man away.

" Keep your hands off me, woman " The man hissed.

" Don't enter without an invitation, man " Brienne barked back.

" Forgive me " The soldier said, forgetting himself for a moment knowing it was wrong for him to barge in unannounced.

" Lady Stark " The soldier spoke up.

" What is it " Catelyn signed, setting her pencil down on the desk.

" They caught the Kingslayer who tried to escape his prison. The son of Lord Karstark was also found dead near his cell." reported the guard.

Catelyn eyes widened as what she was hearing and rushed out of her tent immediately, Brienne trailing behind her.

She made her way to the front of the camp where she saw the soldiers dragging the kingslayer calling for his head, The Tully mother spotted Lord Karstark along with his man with their swords drawing demanding his head.

The Karstark lord in rage at learning the news of his son's death and wanted nothing more to seek vengeance.

" I want his head.... any man who stands between a father and his vengeance asks for death " Lord Karstark hissed .

Catelyn made her way through the crowd trying to diffuse the situation , " Lord Karstark, this man is our prisoner " she said.

" This monster murdered my son!" Lord Karstark snarled.

" And crippled mine, He will answer for his crimes,I promise you, but not here " Catelyn exclaimed.

" I will have his head. And if you try and stop me ... " Lord Karstark was about to say but The Tully mother cut him off.

" You will strike me down? " Catelyn questioned glancing at him.

" Have you forgotten me Ser....I am the widow of your liege Lord Eddark Stark, I am the mother of your king! " Catelyn states.

" And where is our king now? " Lord Karstark demanded.

" You know very well, He has gone to the Crag to accept the surrender " Catelyn responded.

" Aye, gone to the Crag, but not to negotiate., He brought that foreign bitch with him " Lord Karstark growled.

" How dare you? " Catelyn barked.

The Tarth Knight soon drew her sword standing in front of Catelyn protectively, " Threatening My Lady is an act of treason "

" Treason? " Lord Karstark bellowed.

" How can it be treason to execute l Lannisters? " He added.

" I understand your grief, My Lord ... better than most I understand it ... but in the name of my son, the King in the North, stand down " Catelyn pleaded.

Within moments, Lord Karstark along with the rest of his men lower their swords in defeat knowing it wouldn't do well to ignore the orders of the mother of their king.

" When your son returns,I will demand this murder's head " Lord Karstark said glaring at the kingslayer who just looked at him amused.

" Wise men do not make demands of kings " Catelyn commented.

" Fathers who love their sons do, surely you understand seeing as you have lost your daughter Lady Lyarra at the hands of the Lannisters as well " Lord Karstark said.

The Tully mother's eyes sadden for a moment at the mention of her eldest daughter but regains her composure.

The kingslayer on the hand closed his eyes trying to ignore the comments about his family being responsible for his ice wolf's demise.

" Those heretics killed her... took my Lya away from me and now she's dead " Jaime thought sadly.

" I will have his head " Lord Karstark vowed and with that the angry lord walked away along with his man intending to go through his promise.

"Thank you for fighting on my behalf, Lady Stark, I would have come to your defense, but " Jaime was about to say but Catelyn cut him off.

" Take him to the stockades " Catelyn ordered.

Two guards soon came forward roughly grabbing the kingslayer by his arms leading him away.

" Bind him with every chain you can find! " she added.

" You've become a real she-wolf in your later years , there's not much fish left in you " Jaime teased as he was led away.

" And gag him! " Catelyn hissed, closing eyes in frustration.

The Tully mother truly couldn't catch a break and wanted nothing more for a day of peace for a chance but once again they were in the middle of a war.

It would only get worse as the days went by.

༺❘✦━.·:*✦*:·.━✦❘༻

It was past nightfall at the Stark camp, Catelyn was walking around along with Brienne and heard Lord Karstark man rumbling out drunk slurs about the kingslayer.

" Your son returns at dawn, My Lady? " Brienne asked.

" So they say " Catelyn mumbled.

" The Kingslayer won't last the night, the more they drink, the angrier they'll get and when the Karstarks draw their swords... who wants to die defending a Lannister? " Brienne exclaimed.

Catelyn knew the Tarth Knight's word was right and knew she had to come up with a plan.

" Come " Catelyn said gently making her way to the kingslayer cafe.

The two ladies arrived at the cage and saw the kingslayer beaten and bruised up, covered in blood, a guard stood in front of the cage.

" I need to be alone with him " Catelyn said eyeing the guard.

" My Lady, our orders " The guard was about to say but The Tully mother interrupted him.

" Your orders, which I just gave you, are to leave me alone with him " Catelyn said sternly glaring at the guard who nodded leaving his post.

" Come to say goodbye, Lady Stark, I believe it's my last night in this world " Jaime teased before his eyes landing on the figure next to him.

" Do you hear them out there, They want your head " Catelyn said.

" Well, old Lord Karstark doesn't seem to like me " Jaime teased.

" You strangled his son with your chains " Catelyn scoffed.

" Oh, oh, was he the one on guard duty " Jaime said with fake pity.

" He was in my way, any Knight would have done the same " Jaime repiled.

" You are no Knight, You have forsaken every vow you ever took " Catelyn snarled.

" So many vows, They make you swear and swear, Defend the king, obey the king, obey your father, protect the innocent, defend the weak " Jaime rambled out.

" But what if your father despises the king? What if the king massacres the innocent?It's too much "

" No matter what you do, you're forsaking one vow or another, I told Lyarra this once and she understood and never once judged me or called me a kingslayer for what I did " Jaime hummed..

" Lyarra always tended to try to see the kindness in people and wanted nothing more to make the word a happier place but didn't realize evil lurking around the world " Catelyn commented remember how her oldest daughter would try to help out the people of Winterfell and make their lives better.

" Where did you find this beast? " Jaime asked, changing the subject not wanting to talk about his little ice wolf as it was still painful for him to hear her name.

" She is a truer Knight than you will ever be, Kingslayer " Catelyn said.

" Kingslayer, What a king he was, Here's to Aerys Targaryen, the second of his name, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms, Protector of the realm, and to the sword I shoved in his back " Jaime chuckled.

" You are a man without honor " Catelyn spat out staring at him in hatred.

" Do you know in my marriage to Lyarra I have done nothing but protect her and haven't been with Cersei for the most part, I took her into my bed, loved her and cherished her until those heretics took her away from me and killed her " Jaime said.

" So in my own way, I have more honor than the poor old dead Ned. What was the name of that bastard he fathered? " Jaime said.

" No, that wasn't it, Snow, a bastard from the North, Now, when ... When good old Ned came home with some whore's baby, did you pretend to love it? " Jaime questioned.

" No. You're not very good at pretending, You're an honest woman... You hated that boy, didn't you? " The Golden Lion mocked.

" How could you not hate him, The walking, talking reminder that the honorable Lord Eddark Stark f*cked another woman " Jaime chuckled.

" I remember during the king's visit to Winterfell, I overheard you arguing with Lyarra in Lord Stark's study over him, you slapped her across the face all because she said he was her brother and she wouldn't turn her back on him.... you always tried controlling her but you couldn't "

" She was an ice wolf and no one could tame her, not even a mighty golden lion like myself. In the end she was the tamer " Jaime smiled sadly.

" Your sword " Catelyn demanded, staring at Brienne who nodded, staring at her confused but handed her sword to her.

Catelyn lifted up the sword high and Jaime closed his eyes thinking this would be the end for him but was surprised when he found that his chains were broken.

The Tully mother looked at the Golden Lion knowing she was taking a huge risk at what she was doing but then again a mother who loved her children would do anything to get them back, even burn the entire world down.

Asshari

In the dark magical shadowlands, a certain sorceress was pacing around the grand temple walls trying to figure out what her new visions were trying to tell her.

" An ice dragon was in depths of danger, a young wolf was surrounded by Krakens and a young dragon would be tested soon "

The young sorceress knew Lyarra was getting closer to giving birth any day and enemies lurked in every corner and knew people would try to come after her and the child.

A child born from three great ancient houses of Westeros, Lord Tywin no doubt would do anything in his power to retain Lyarra and her child back in his grasp if he found out she was alive.

She began to walk down the temple making sure the coast was clear. She intended to ask for a blessing from the Lord of light himself hoping he would answer her praises and the only time she could contact him was at night, if only a familiar sorcerer didn't stand in her way.

" Samara " Hayate greeted her softly.

" Hayate, what are you doing here... has something happened? " Samara asked.

" Is Lyarra okay? " she added.

" Everything is fine, Lyarra is safe but I feel a great wave of danger heading her way soon " Hayacte responded.

" Me as well, " Samara mumbled.

"Tell me, do you intend to contact Lady Amaterasu at this hour? Her chariot has returned home for the night."

"No. I'm afraid you've confused the Lord of Light for your Sun Goddess. I'm here to seek His blessing. "

Hayate stepped back, and allowed Samara passage into the most sacred room of the temple.

The chamber was huge, almost as large as the throne room at the Red Keep. Instead of the walls covered with dragon skulls, or Lannister symbols, it featured tapestries from all around Essos. Truly a magnificent sight.

At the center of the room was the largest brasier both Hayate and Samara had ever seen. The flames danced over collapsing wood, burning brightly each time the sun set.

"I had a vision, Hayate. I need to understand it. " said Samara.

"Trying to right your wrongs huh? I'm quite impressed. Not many people admit mistakes." responded the traveler from Kamakura.

Samara did not answer. Instead, she fixed her gaze on the flames...

" Oh, Lord Of Light, please tell me what this vision means... I ask for your blessings my lord and ask for your guidance to help me understand it, please " Samara prayed.

Soon, the flames began to grow more around her and a chill air filled the room.... Samara lifted her eyes up hoping to receive an answer but heard nothing but the echoes of the wind.

The sorceress stood up from the ground and signed, Haycate stared at the young lady and placed a comforting hand on her shoulder.

" It's alright, answers won't always come to you quickly, " Hayacte said.

" I don't have time to wait around " Samara hissed, pushing past the old scourer making her way out of the temple.

༺❘✦━.·:*✦*:·.━✦❘༻

In Qarth, a certain young dragon was dreading what to do and was determined not to be run off by some evil magicians who had her dragons captured.

" I am not leaving without my dragons " Daenerys exclaimed, staring at the Mormont lord.

" Khaleesi, please I beg you to think of Rhaego and Rhaeglle, it is not safe for them here anymore " Jorah exclaimed.

Daenerys glanced over at her little dragon cubs who were playing on the floor together and signed.

" I always think of them. I will always put them first, but I can't abandon my other children, " Daenerys responded.

" They're not your children Khaleesi, they're just dragons, " Jorah answered.

" Not to me, " Daenerys said.

Jorah signed, staring at his Khalessi knowing he wasn't going to get through to her no matter what he said.

" I can't run away from every challenge that I face, I am tired of running, " Daenerys added.

" I will stand by your side whatever you decide to do Khaleesi " Jorah states.

Daenerys smiled at that and raised a hand to his check by stroking it gently, " Thank you "
