Chapter Eighty Three
Two months laterย ( time skip)
ย ย Elaena was sitting down on the floor beside Daenerys, the two were playing with their little cubs.
Elaena and Daenerys looked on as Rhaego, Lucaerion and Jacerion playfully rolledย on the floor, their gigglesย filling the tent. The young dragonsย were growing quickly, and their energy seemed endless. Elaena couldn't help but smile at the sight, glad that their children were getting along.
Next to them, Naelasella and Rhaella were silently playing with dolls. It was a peacefulย moment, with the sound of laughter and the soft rustling of fabric filling the air. The two dragons' hearts swelled with love and pride as theyย watched their children bond with one another.
Daenerys stared at the children thinking about the upcoming future for House Targaryen. " You know we should match up our children with each other one day."
" You mean to have them marry each other " Elaena said.
The mother of dragons nodded wanting nothing more to keep some traditions of their house the same. " Yes, to strengthen our house.
The young ice dragon glanced at her aunt, not agreeing with her words. " What if they fall in love with other people. " We should let them choose who they want to be with."
Daenerys glanced at her niece and understood where she was coming from. She would never sell her children as she was.ย However, she figured it would be best to keep their dragonline intact.ย
She cleared her throat and said. " I understand what you're coming from. I wish to keep our bloodline flowing with dragon blood.
Elaena murmured and realized her close relative was right. She knew the Targaryen heredity was imperative, but she needed her children to have the flexibility to select their claim mates. She looked at Daenerys with a decided expression.
ย ย "I get it the significance of our heredity, but I want my children to be happy," she said immovably. "Let them decideย who they want to be with."
Daenerys considered her niece's words and realized that she could not deny the truth in them. She had always fought for liberty and equality, but she could not now violate those principles. She looked at Elena with a soft smile.
" You're right," said Daenerys. "We shouldย let ourย children choose their partners and we have to trust they will make the right decision for themselves. "
Elena smiled at her aunt, glad they agreed. They both knew that the future of their housemattered, but they also knew they had to help their children in finding their own way, even if it meant breaking customs.
Suddenly, the tent flapped open revealing a figure standing at the entrance. It was Samara, her face filled with distraught as she entered.
Elaena glanced at her best friend in concern, wondering what was bothering her.ย " Samara, are you alright." what's happened.
The sorceress stared at her best friend in pity, not wanting to tell this, but knew it was the best thing to do. She turned her attention towards the dragon queen curtsying.
Samara cleared her throat and said. " Haycate is here hesin the war tent, he brings some unsettling news.
Daenerys' eyes widened in suspicion, not knowing who that was. " Who is this Haycate you speak of, Lady Samara."
" He's my friend and advisor, " Elaena repiled.

After laying their children down, Elaena and Daenerys were gathered in the main tent with their allies. Ser Barristean, Ser Jorah, Cadal and Andros stood alongside them.
Haycate stood in front of them informing Elaena what her brother Robb and her mother was plotting against her and Daenerys.
Elaena's heart dropped for a moment when Hayacte informed her of Robb selling her infant daughter to the Frey's,ย plotting with them to try to kill her little boys and Daenerys's children to get them out of the picture.
Daenerys's face contorted with rage at what she was hearing. "ย How dare he plots against us, he's a fool to think he has any chance against us."
Ser Jorah's eyes widened in disbelief at what he was hearing, not expecting for the young wolf to try to commit any act so honorees.ย It seems the young wolf has lost his intelligence and let his cock think for him."
" Has he gone mad? "ย Ser Barristean exclaimed, his eyes filling with anger at what he was hearing. " This is treacherous."
Missandei, Naesella and Dansielle were standing on the side listening to the conversation. They were in disbelief at what they were hearing thinking Westeros was a wicked land.
" He and Lady Catelyn must be dealt with immediately " Ser Jorah spoke up.ย We need to dispose of them before they get the chance to come after the children.
The red sorceress agreed with the lord's words and said."ย I could send someone to take care of them.
Daenerys glanced over to the sorceress curiously trying to marvel who she was talking about. " Like who, Lady Samara."
" One of the faceless men " Samara repiled. " I have a friend named Jaquen who could do it for me, he owes me a favor."
The old crow's eyes widened at the sorceress' suggestion and said, " He's a faceless man, he can't be trusted.
The sorceress glared at the old crow and said. " I trust him, he's not a bad guy.
" I agree with Haycate here, faceless men are the most dangerous men in essos alive " Cadal said.
" Could he get the job done without any struggles? " Daenerys asked.
" Yes, " Samara repiled.
" NO! " Elaena screamed.ย I don't believe this,ย my brother would never do this to me.
The red sorceress glanced at her friend in pity, laying a hand on her shoulder. " Robb is losing power each passing day; he executed Lord Karstark, losing the support of the Karstarks. He has offended the Frey's and is in debt with them and doesn't have the men to win the war.
" You are a threat to his rule, you are the rightful heir of Winterfell!. " Hayate exclaimed. " Your children will always have a higher claim to Winterfell than him and any future children he may have.
" He is a usrupter, " Cadal said. He'll do anything it takes to keep his throne even if that means butcheringย innocent children to do so.
Andros glanced at the young ice dragon in concern sensing she was about to crack. " She deserves to be happy."
" He's my family, " Elaena cried out, tears falling from her eyes. " How could he do this to me?"
.
Daenerys stared at her niece sadly knowing how she was feeling. " Elaena, I'm sorry that your family has betrayed you; but we have to protect our children."
Haycate glanced at the young ice dragon sadly, the girl had been through too much at a young age. " He is a threat, princess and needs to be dealt with.
Elaena's eyes narrowed as she wiped away her tears.
"You're right," she said, her voice filled with determination. "Robb needs to be stopped.ย I have to protect our children.
.
Hayate nodded in agreement. " Kamakura will support you guys fully.ย They will help you guys regain the iron throne."
" Tell them, we are grateful for their support, " Daenerys said.
Elaena took a deep breath, steeling herself for what lay ahead. "What's the plan?
Haycate cast a quick glance in their direction while indicating their coordinated approach. "We need to show the people of the North that your brother doesn't have their best interests in mind.
Elaena nodded, a fire burning within her. " I won't let anyone harm my children. Brother or not, if he goes after my children I will reign hell fire and ice down upon him.
Daenerys laid a hand on Elaena's shoulder, her voice proud. "My dear niece, you have the strength and support of those who believe in you." We will restore a new order to the north."
" Afterwards, we will take the six kingdoms back and bring a new change to Westeros."ย We'll show Westeros that women are equal to men.
Elaena smiled at her aunt and said. " Yes, we will."
The young ice dragon was overcome by a newfound feeling of purpose. She knew down the road would be filled with struggles, yet was ready to face them head on.
The battle of winter was just beginning, and Elaena was determined to be victorious. The only thing she regretted was that she may lose her siblings over it.
Arya, Sansa and Rickon would never forgive her for going up against their brother and mother. She had no desire to usurper Robb; all she wished was to keep her family safe.
If she had to be the bad guy to achieve that, then so be it.They would soon learn the consequences of messing with an ice dragon.
