DORNE -22
The moment she arrived to Dragonstone she was met with Herastus, she got down of her dragon and walked over to him angrily. She slapped him and then stared at him. He didn't look shocked though, he almost looked like he expected it.
"I am going to hear what you have to tell me later..." she said angrily and walked inside.
She took a deep breath and looked around her, Dragonstone....the place the dynasty of her family had started. The place it would thrive, she walked inside the castle and noticed everyone bowed when she got inside. She smiled a bit and after she walked around and she took a bath and then decided to have dinner. She noticed Herastus was already at the table. At first they sat in silence until he broke it
"All I did....was to protect what we have" he started and she chuckled
"You left me to Robb Stark when he tried to murder me" she said and looked at him after taking a sip of wine
"I know.....but let's be honest here, Robb loves you he would never hurt you....on contrary he would destroy what we have built in a moment if he had the chance" he said and took her hand which she yanked away and he sighed
"I would never betray you my love....I love you but you have to understand that there had to be made some sacrifices for our dream....for the empire we dream" he said and looked into her eyes.
She sighed and looked into his eyes, he was partly right. She gave him a short nod and then took a bite from her food
"But....I have to tell you something" he said and sighed sadly
"What is it?" She asked and frowned a bit
"Your uncle....Doran" he said
"Doran, how is he?" She asked and Herastus shrugged
"I don't know much, all I know is that Oberyn died three weeks ago and now Doran is alone in Dorne with Elaria and the Sand Snakes....some very angry Sand Snakes" he said and he passed a small letter he had received from Doran.
What made her frown was the last sentence
Elaria has gone almost mad, my friend, she and the daughters of Oberyn now want to avenge his death by all means. They don't care about the cost and I must admit, I am getting weaker.
Mare stood up immediately and looked at him
"Send a Raven to Dorne, tell them that their queen is coming" she said and walked out of the room. No she wouldn't let Doran unprotected, she couldn't loose the last family she had left
The woman played with the crystals and a small smile spread on her lips, she turned her eyes to her husband. Her lover, her lord....the man she had grew so distant from. Why? That she didn't know, all she knew was that she was happy at last, she expected a baby. They expected a baby. The heir of Winterfell
"Why did he sent you that again?" She asked and sat beside him
"Because he wants peace between house Stark and house Baratheon at last....and he said that the best way to achieve is through gifts for our marriage and upcoming heir" he said in a cold tone and looked at her
It has been three months since Maegal had left Winterfell and he was getting sadder and sadder by the day. But now he expected an heir, a boy or girl it didn't matter. But not from the love of his life, but from his wife. And then he had to stop the war with the Lannisters because....because the North had enough. The people couldn't fight anymore.
Then there was Jon, his brother. Jon who everyone saw as a hero, Jon who was criticizing his every move and who couldn't forgive him the fact that destroyed his and Maegal's wedding. Jon was causing conflict in the North by simply existing by Robb's side.
"Well I think it's the right thing to do Robb, after all we wouldn't wanna be on the loosing side of the war again" she said and sighed "we will soon have a baby, our child needs to be protected by all means"
"What do you mean on the wrong side?" Robb asked confused
"Well Dorne has sided with the Targaryen princess....do you really think that they will stand a chance against the Lannisters?" She asked and shook her head
"She has three dragons, do you really think the Lannisters stand a chance against her?" A voice spoke from the background, it was Jon
"It doesn't matter what I believe, whoever wins this war will be king or queen of the seven kingdoms, the North is one of them" Robb said and stood up as he started walking out of the door when he noticed his brother half glaring at him
"You could have made her happy Jon, she loves you. But as much as you and Talissa try....our souls, mine and hers belong to each other" he said "so stop looking at me like that, want to be with her? Go on, leave....see where the path of fire will lead you"
"Marienna would be happy with me....we would have been happy...and you ruined it" he said and pushed Robb back before he left
Robb sighed and looked down, he hated himself. At least Sansa was back North again, of course he had to steal her away from her soon to be husband Ramsey Bolton but it was worth it. She backed him, even though she loved both her brothers she still was closer to Robb
Robb stood in the middle of his room and looked down, he didn't know what to do. Back Marienna or Tommen Baratheon. Or keep his kingdom free?
As Maegal arrived to Dorne she was met with her uncle, she hugged him and sighed. She missed Oberyn, but she understood Doran. There was no need for more blood to be spilled. Not again, Robert's rebellion had spilled much blood already in the seven kingdoms. She would see Elaria later, yet she left two of her Dothraki guards with Doran, just in case.
She and Herastus walked around the gardens outside of the palace. She smiled and sighed, she imagined her mother and uncles playing here as children.
"You can't imagine how happy I am to see you again cousin" she heard a voice from behind her
"I am happy to see you again Tristan" she said and hugged him as they continued walking together
"I am glad you came...Elaria and the Sand Snakes are acting weird" he said and turned to her, she nodded
"So I have heard" she said and sighed
"You know what else I have heard? That you and the Lannister girl are close....really close" she said and turned to him, he blushed and looked down
"My queen, I....." he started and Mare chuckled
"I hope you live a long life Tristan and that you enjoy Myrsella's company to the end of it" she said and smiled as he chuckled
"I thought you didn't like the Lannisters" he said
"I don't, but I know of love and I want you to be happy.....Myrsella isn't my enemy, she is just a child" she said and smiled at her cousin until she saw a lord she had heard much about but haven't acquainted until now
Lord Varys, he walked towards her until her Dothraki guards stopped him, he said something to them and then Maegal noticed a dwarf with a hood on. Tristan pulled out his sword ready to protect his queen until he motioned for them to pass by the guards. The moment they stood in front of her Varys bowed and she nodded as they all headed inside.
They were having dinner, her, Varys, Tyrion Lannister, Doran and Tristan along with Herastus. It appeared that Elaria decided to not join them the moment she learnt another Lannister had arrived in Dorne.
"So my lord, I am curious to listen what you have to say to me" she started and sipped her wine
"Of course my lady, I am here because I want to serve you....you see I don't think that the seven kingdoms are being ruled nobly by house Lannister" lord Varys started and Maegal nodded
"The seven kingdoms need a ruler stronger than Tommen but gentler than Stannis, a ruler that will intimidate the high lord and inspire the people with the right family name" he continued and smiled
"And you think that I am the one?" She asked surprised and flattered
"Yes your grace, I believe you are the last best hope" he finished
"And do you believe that lord Tyrion?" She asked and turned to him
"I believe that you are a skilled warrior with manners and a scent of justice and trust me that enough" he said and sipped his wine
"I see and how do I know that you are not here to harm me rather than help me?" She asked
"Because your grace I killed your biggest enemy, my father. House Lannister will not stand long, not against the High Sparrow, the Tyrells will soon be consumed too. My sister and Tommen are doomed to fall" he said and she nodded
"We should attack king's Landing then, the Tyrell army won't stand a chance against the Dothraki and the dragons will burn the walls in a matter of seconds" Tristan said and Maegal shook her head
"No, Robb holds the north, if Tommen is smart he will give him his independence and Robb will send his army along with the knights of the Vale south....no, I won't attack king's Landing....I will earn the people first and the faith" she said and smirked a bit
"After all I am the last Targaryen standing.....rightful queen of the seven kingdoms" she said and looked at all of them
