Kamakura

Yoshirō looked out of the balcony, gazing at the sakura tree that could be seen from the highest tower of the palace. The sun was setting, casting the sky in hues of purple, pink and orange. The youngest pup looked behind him, the unconscious form of Ser — Emperor Suguwara lying on the futon.

Shaggydog was lucky enough to have escaped with his life, serving as the pet for the Kamakuran guards and handmaiden alike. Miss Kaede had refused to talk about sake with the young boy, for alcoholic beverages were not allowed to be drank by children.

"How long has he been atill? " he asked the spirit that accused him for the night.

"Ten days. Why haven't you healed him, and where is Kyōko?" responded Masato.

"Busy with work. She must really hate you for killing her child. Now I take his name and the life he should have lived."

Masato looked away, and gazed back at the young pup.

"I've grown tired of the horrors of this world. The only way for me to pass on is for Fuyutsuki to forgive himself." he informed.

"That will be hard. "

"Which is why it would be worth it."

༺༻༺༻༺༻༺༻༺༻

The young ice dragon entered the great markets of Ghiscair, Crystal trailing behind her. Beside her Cadal and Andros followed closely, the slaves and the masters surprised at her presence, it had been a long time since a Valyrian arrived in their city; the last time they did nothing but destroy everything.

" A Valyrian bitch " one of the masters hissed glaring at her.

As Cadal was about to say something, Elaena looked at the young chained women standing beside them looking almost terrified.... " What did he say? " she asked, glancing at the young woman acting as if she didn't know what he was saying.

" My master is surprised, it's been a long time since a Varlyian arrived in the city he thought all the Valyrians were wiped out during the doom of Valyria " the young women replied.

" Yes, well we haven't been wiped out yet " Elaena said with a small smile.

" I wish to buy all of the Ghiscari legions along with the navy fleet, " she stated, trying to stay calm.

As the young women began to translate back to her master, she looked around seeing the suffering chained people most of them consisting of young children.... anger began to rise within her at what she was seeing. Children chained up like savages— " she was cut off by her thoughts when the young women spoke to her again.

" All of them, even the navy fleet? " the slave asked surprised at the offer, the master began to translate back to the young women.... " Does your master not have his listening ears on? " Elaena teased.

" I wish to buy all of them, including the entire navy fleet " she added.

" She wishes to buy all of them including the navy fleet " the girl translated back to her master.

" The Valyrian whore can't afford them " he told his slave sternly. " the slut thinks she can show off her tits and arse and make us give her whatever we want, she has nothing to offer us "

" There are 36,000 men Ghiscari and 450 ships including an extra 50 to store horses and supplies. Is this what you mean by all"? the young slave asked.

" Yes 36,000 and 450 ships also including the soldiers who are still in training " Elaena said, the young women translated back to her master.

" If they were to fail on the battlefield our great city will be shamed and disgraced " one of the master told his other fellow masters.

" Master Krindal says it wouldn't be wise to sell you the untrained soldiers for if they were to fall on the battlefield they would shame our great city " the young slave told the young ice dragon.

" It's not wise to buy inexperienced soldiers, they will just slow you down... Your Grace " Andros commented.

" The more men the better and beside they can learn " Elaena answered, glancing at her friend briefly before turning her attention back to the young woman.

" I shall have all or none, '' Elaena informed the girl. " Many soldiers fall in battle everyday, the ones who die I will need the young ones to pick up after them " she explained to her, staring at her not bearing to look at the masters without wanting to turn them into ice sculptures.

" The silver haired slut can't pay for this " Master Krindahl said, Elaena glared at the man getting tired of being called veile names but held her tongue.

" Master Krindal says you don't have enough to afford all of them " the brown haired girl said.

" If she offered her jewelry that she's wearing along with her beast besides her , it will buy her only 200 Ghiscari with 16 ships " Master Krindal said while eyeing her up and down.

" He says if you were to sell your jewelry around your neck, including your wolf, he will give you 200 Ghiscari and 16 ships, no more " the young women told her.

" Because, I love the curve of her hips and her big breasts, " the master smirked.

" But I will offer the whore another deal, if she were to offer her body up to me one night... I will grant her 500 Ghiscari soldiers and 100 ships " he said.

" Because my master is generous " the young brown haired girl lied. , trying to hide her disgust at what her master said.

" If she added that gold ring around her finger, it will buy her 30 more Ghiscari "

" If you sell your ring on your finger it will buy you 30 more soldiers " the young girl said.

" I will give her 300 Ghiscari and 84 more ships if she were to offer her body to me for the night, tell her now " Master Krindal demanded, staring at his slave.

" Mastee Krindal offers you another deal, he will grant you 300 more soldiers and 84 ships if you would give yourself to him for the night " the young brunette whispered.

" You savage, she is no whore! "Cadal exclaimed about withdrawing his sword at the master for his disrespect towards the princess.

The young ice dragon scoffed at that, " I have to decline for I am married and have a husband already "

" She is married, " the young slave informed her master who sighed in disappointment.

" I will grant her 30 more men and 15 ships if she stops complaining " Master Krindal offered.

" Because Master Krindal is an easy man he will grant you 30 more men and a bonus of 15 ships " the young slave lord once more .

" Ask the silver beggar whore who she intended to pay for the remaining 35,770 men and 419 ships "the master orders his slave.

" Master Krindal wishes to know how you intended to pay for the remaining men and ships " Elaena glanced around seeing the children chained, their faces filled with dirt and sadness.

Elaena's eyes turned away from the chained children. looking back to Master Krindal and said, " I have dragons I will give you one " when she said that the young brunette girl eyes widened in surprise at that including the rest of the masters, for no one has seen a dragon in hundred of years.

Cadal and Andros' eyes widened in shock and slight horror at what she was suggesting and approached her, " My princess, you will gain support with dragons not slaves " Andros told her.

" Your Grace, please " Cadal said in a warning tone placing a hand on her back, she twirled her head around giving them two a stern look causing them two to back away.

" You mustn't, " a voice said behind her.

She turned around and saw Hayate standing behind her his face in shock at what he was hearing, " Don't interfere " Elaena said harshly glaring at the old crow which caused him to sigh but stepped back .

She walked towards the masters glancing at them, Master Krindal laid back in his chair a devilish smile formed on his face at this and answered in a bad common language accent. " Three dragons " placing three of his fingers up at her.

Elaena stared at him almost smirking, him wanting three dragons was an advantage for he didn't know she had five of them, well six one of them belonging to her sister .

" Two " Elaena offered.

" Three " Master Krindal said.

" Two " Elaena said rising her voice a bit.

The masters began to talk among with one another before Master Krindal translating back to his slave.

" They want the two biggest ones and your wolf here " the young slave told the young ice dragon, making her smirk.

" Done, " Elaena replied, staring at the young slave.

Hayate closed his eyes feeling his heart beginning to thump loudly at the trade trying not to imagine what these slave masters would do with dragons now in their grasp.

Cadal and Andros on the other hand was in shock at the agreement, not believing the young princess would ever sell two or her dragons let alone her direwolf for slave soldiers and a fleet Then again she was a mother now and had to protect her children, her human children.

Elaena was about to walk away until she stopped for a moment glancing at the suffering young women beside them along with the children.

" I will take you and the children here for now, you guys will be a Master Krindal gift to me as a token for our agreement well bargained " Elaena told the young beunette.

The brunette looked supruised at this including the children who glanced up at the young ice dragon hoping their new master wouldn't be as cruel as their current one.

The young women looked hesitated before translating back to her master, " She asks that you give me and the children here as a gifts to her and asks you do this immediately " she informed the masters.

The masters nodded giving their permission before glancing over at their children slaves ordering them to get up and follow their new master.

The group of children slowly made their way towards their new master and bowed swiftly, Elaena gently grabbed them by their hands leading them out from the markets, the young brunette followed after them.

The trio of knights trying to catch up to them walking at a fast pace,trying to keep up.

" Princess, a dragon and direwolf is worth more than an army and fleet " Cadal commented.

" The Valyrians proved that when they wiped out Old Ghis with their dragons destroying the city and your ancestor Aegon the Conqueror who put the whole Seven kingdoms to heel with three dragons " Hayate exclaimed.

" Your cousin, Robb has won some battles with his dire wolf Greywind leading him, '' Andros inputted.

" Little ones, can you leave me for a moment? It won't be long " Elaena said gently to the children who nodded

" Can you watch after them for a bit, I need to speak to my friends for a bit " she informed the young woman who smiled.

The brunette grabbed the children by their hands gently leading them to the sidelines leaving the young ice dragon alone with her knights.

" The Valyrians are extinct, Daenerys and I are the last of the Valyrian people including our children and Aegon the conqueror is dead " the youngest dragon princess said coldly, stopping and turned around to face the trio.

" And Robb is losing this war... he has thrown everything that our ancestors built, our home, our kingdom for a women from the enemy vessel who is probably a spy for the Lannisters, my brother is too foolish to realize this because he's letting his lust and love for her cloud his judgment and mind, he is a fool "

" Look, I respect all of your guy's opinions but I ask that you trust me and let me handle things sometimes.... I know you are just trying to look for me and I appreciate that but I must lead sometimes " Elaena said softly.

Despite the knights questioning the princess's actions they knew they had to let her lead and trusted she had a plan that would work.

The young girl made her way out of the market where she saw the young brunette girl along with the children waiting for her, their heads lowering to the ground.

" What's your name? " Elaena asked the brunette.

" Dansielle , Your Grace " the young slave girl answered, not looking at her once in her eyes afraid of making her upset, her head always down in respect one thing she learned from her old master.

" Do you have a family or siblings you wish to return top? " She asked her.

" No family, Your Grace they were killed when I was a girl " Dansielle mumbled.

" What are your names, little ones? " She asked gently, turning to the children who were staring down at the ground but didn't answer.

" They don't have one, they were stolen at birth, no names are provided from them, their parents were slaughtered before getting a chance to name their kids " the brunette explained.

" We are not meant to have names, " a young girl said.

" Well, would you all want to have a name " Elaena asked, translating back to the girl scotching down to her height level.

" Yes, " the black haired girl smiled.

" What would you little ones like to be called from now on " the young ice dragon questioned.

" We don't know " a brunette boy spoke, not understanding what the princess was saying to them.

" Alright, how bout Anenasya is that okay if I call you by that for now on " the young dragon wolf translated to the young black haired girl.

" Yes, " the girl smiled.

The rest of the children began to mumble to themselves glancing up at their new master in confusion, " Slaves aren't meant to have names, our masters told this to us claiming we aren't worthy of one " a blonde haired girl said.

" I would like to have a name " another child replied, a brunette boy.

" But we aren't nobles, only highborns are worthy of a privilege as that " third voice joined in, this time an auburn haired boy said.

" We are worthy of it, our sister once told us just because we may of been born poor doesn't mean we aren't worthy of such things " a young dark skinned boy and girl said.

Elaena glanced over at the pair or siblings smiling at their comment, " That's right it doesn't matter if you were born from a poor, or a wealthy family ,if you are a lowborn or high born, all of you all worthy of so much more than the lives granted to you by those evil slave masters "

" You have all been taken from your families and forced into be something you're not, I know you are scared but I will not let anything happen to you, i'll protect you all I swear it "

" You mean to be a mother to us " Anenasya asked, glancing up at the beautiful silver haired young women smiling.

" Yes, if you all want me to... I can never replace your parents that were brought into this world but I can try to be a mother figure to all of you to support you and care for you as no one has before " Elaena answered.

" You won't sell us away to the next master, you'll keep us and protect us? " one of the young boys asked.

" You'll never be in chains very again, from this day on you will be free children " she vowed.

The young ones smiled and clapped their hands. Forming a single line towards the small ship, they started to chat among themselves, excited about their new lives.

"She seems nice. "

"Yeah, very much not like a bad master."

"One of us had a name; Elisaria. Her sister worked at Pentos. "

Naerella smiled sadly. Speaking of which, where has El been this whole time?

Elaena appeared to have a flashback to when she first stepped into the city. Come to think of it ; the child who was labelled a jackal resembles our Naerella!

As she followed after the children, " It's nice what you're doing for the little ones.... they need all the love and support they can get, your grace " Daniselle mumbled.

" I am not a fan of seeing innocent people and children mistreated and I will not let it continue on here... I shall bring new order to New Ghis " Elaena said sternly.

" The masters won't take kindly to this, your grace this city is built on slavery it's how things are " the brunette said.

" Not anymore, they can either live in my new order or fade in their old order " the young ice dragon said.

" It won't be easy the task, New Ghis has a lot of ally's, Yunkai and Meereen are powerful cities with wealthy slave masters, they have fierce soldiers the unsullied "

" Yes, I heard of them very obedient is the Ghiscari legions like that " she asked glancing over to the young women.

" Yes, whoever commanded the whip controls them... the Ghiscari is the number one obedient army in Essos whoever commanded them they will listen to them and do whatever they command " Dansielle explained.

" Is is true they are immune to pain " Elaena questioned thinking back on what Andros said to her, The Ghiscari are made for battle "

" That's just a rumor but the Ghiscari have no fear of anything, not even death " the young women exclaimed.

" Everyone is afraid of something "

" Not The Ghiscari, everyday they train some to participate in the fighting pits, about every other day one soldier dies.... fighting is all they have known for their whole lives nothing more "

" Fighting pits "

" Yes, another way the master gathered coin for themselves is holding these grant fighting tournaments where the people of New Ghis place bets and their coins to fund the match, it's entertainment for them "

" Tell me more about the city " she ordered.

" Well, here we have these ancient temples called " Temples of Grace " where the gods and goddesses of New Ghis reside. The people pray to them everyday in hopes they will grant us a blessing of rain " the young women replied.

" We don't get much water and rain here. The masters mostly take all the water for themselves leaving the people dehydrated, Then comes the slave harbor which resides at the edge of the bay, where transported goods from other cities are developed there, next is the slave markets in which new slaves are transported everyday " she added

" Lastely, is the short walk where Iron Legion warriors patrol the streets just in case any slaves tries to escape but none tried to for awhile, one man did which resulted in his execution "

Elaena listened closely to the young brunette words trying to understand more how the city ran.

" You can leave, you know, I'm not requiring you to stay with me ? '' she said, glancing at her.

" What do you mean? " Daniselle asked, confused at what the young ice dragon was saying.

" You're a free woman now, you don't have to follow me if you don't wish to I won't force you "

" I don't understand, why are you letting me go? I'm your slave, you brought me which means I belong to you now " the young girl replied.

" I bargained for you because I didn't want to leave you with those masters, you deserved better than that... if you wish to leave you can, I will not harm you "

" Are you serious? " Daniselle said tearfully staring at the young ice dragon in disbelief at what she was saying, let alone offering her .

" Yes " Elaena smiled before handing her a small pouch of gold out of her pocket .

" I know it's not a lot. I'm sorry it's all I have at the moment but it is enough to purchase a ship to sail away from her and start somewhere fresh " She whispered.

" Thank you, but I can't accept it, " Daniselle said shaking her head, refusing the offer.

" You can " Elaena pushed on

" I wish to follow you, being out there all alone is scary and I don't think I wish to be alone at the moment " the brunette explained.

" If you follow me, I may be bringing you into violence and destruction... you may go hungry, fall sick or be killed " Elaena told her sternly.

" Valar Morghulis " Daniselle said tilting her head up.

" Yes, all men must die but only the bad ones and we are not men " Elaena said, making Daniselle smile making her feel hope for the first time in a while.

They may not be men but would prevail, no men would ever dare to try to control or tame them again for they we're independent women, and ever bad man that has ever hurt them would perish.

Meanwhile

In Riverrun, the young wolf was currently arguing with his mother about her mistreating his wife Jeyne... he could take many things from his mother but he won't allow her to make his wife/queen upset.

" She is my wife, my queen, you are making her uncomfortable " Robb said.

" I have done nothing to the girl nor say two words to her " The Tully mother defended.

" That's my point exactly, you haven't warmed up to her these last 3 months and been giving her dirty looks every time she cross your paths,

"This would have been fine, had you not made a previous vow, Robb. Walder Frey will never take this lightly. He had tested your integrity, and you failed. " Catelyn critiqued.

"I love her, Mother!" Robb defended.

"Love has no place in wartime betrothals. A king who breaks just a single promise cannot keep the rest. "

Suddenly, a knock on the door interrupts them, the door opened revealing Jeyne who had heard the entire argument from outside the door.

" Um, I'm sorry to disturb you, I " Jeyne was about to say but was cut off by an angry Tully.

" You haven't disturbed anything, your grace...I shall take my leave now " Catelyn said, turning around addressing the girl briefly before making her way past her, not bothering to bow or anything, closing the door behind her with a bang.

" Is everything alright? " she mumbled.

" Yes, my love my mother is just being difficult as usual, don't pay her any mind " Robb said smiling before making his way towards his queen and capturing her lips with his.

" Are you sure, I'm here if you need to talk " the Westerling girl said, pulling away from the kiss glancing up at her husband.

" I know but I would rather not talk now " Robb responded with a devilish smile gathering her by her waist and began to untie her laces behind her dress.

" Robb " Jeyne signed knowing what her husband was trying to do, get her to stop worrying.

" Ssh, everything will be alright " Robb whispered, pressing his lips down upon hers once more, Jeyne embraced him back passionately, wrapping her arms around his neck.

He picked her up in his arms before dropping her down on his war table gently before ravaging on her.

And with that the young wolf once again was able to distract his wife from her thoughts and make her lose herself once more.
