Red keep

Robb Stark pov

Robb has been in the capital for a while now, while the red keep is beautiful the people going around in it are anything but

Sometimes even the entire city smells of shit and lies, what made his father think he could come here and be Robert's Hand, but at least with Jon as the king the city is slowly getting better

It seems he is getting married soon, while he and Jon are basically the same age he always thought of Jon as the elder brother, even when they were children Jon always looked out for him, thought him what's what in this world, so he always assumed that Jon will the one to get married first but now Robb has to do his duty towards his house and the north

Jon himself talked to father about this match which is clearly something, he will be married to Margaery Tyrell while he is not getting married to someone he loves but his parents didn't love each other but they grew to love each other over they years, maybe he will grow to love Margaery

Margaery is obviously a very beautiful lady that any man would be lucky to marry, but Robb can see the her mummers farce, she always tries to be someone that everyone loves and adores but once in a while he sees the glimpse of real Margaery,one that can't stay still for long, one that is not putting an act but genuinely likes to help people

But if she really wants to be the lady stark of Winterfell than she can't do that with sweet words and false banter, while the rest of seven kingdoms thinks of the northerners as savages they know when they are lied to, and the north has never been kind to outsiders, even after all this time his mother is still considered as a southerner

This is probably the last time a Stark heir will marry outside the north for a very long time, but this alliance is very important for the north while we are strong we are clearly not as developed as the rest of the kingdoms, even though Jon has made a lot of progress over the years but we need the reach and it's resources to properly develop, and Jon is the king of all seven kingdoms now he can't just focus on the north, now robb has to take charge and be the Lord Stark and lead the north

At least his parents are happy with the match and Sansa is practically smitten with lady Margaery but Arya is hard to please, Arya keeps saying that Margaery sometimes smells weird, it seems that Arya and Nymeria are ready to take their vows before the gods, this also happened to him and Jon before they took their vows with their direwolves, it seems they will have make a trip to Winterfell soon but when your brother has dragons long travels don't bother you like they used to

Jon/Aegon pov

It seems my trip to Essos is getting more and more complicated, first grandmother was ready to climb on Rhaenix and fly to Daenerys as soon as she heard the news but I was somehow able to stop her, even if she wants to see her daughter Daenerys is fighting a war in Essos and everyone of us can't just take off to meet her

It took a while but I convinced grandmother to stay here, Daenerys lived most of her life thinking her mother was dead and according to Varys she is still doubtful about our identities, so it is better if I go there and slowly convince her that we really are her family till she ready to come back, and I can also help her in fighting slavery faster so she can come home

But while grandmother can be reasonable Rhaenys cannot,she might sneak out and fly to Essos without them knowing so I finally relented and am taking her with me, and having more dragonriders was supposed to be a good thing

But before I go to Essos I have to do something very important, something I have been looking forward for a long time

Unknown Cave

Maester Glydayn pov

He slowly woke up to the cold winds hitting his face, he has no idea where he is all he remembers is smelling something weird in the citadel and than suddenly being taken by some men, it took him a while but he slowly came to his senses, he was in barely lit cave but he can see others were who are there with him

As soon as he properly looked at everyone he was terrified, everyone here is a Maester but not just any Maester but Maester from the conclave, each and everyone was here but how is this possible including him only three people alive know all the identities of the members of the conclave

Theirs was a order among a order, a conclave hidden in the official conclave of the citadel, while most other Maesters don't believe in magic and higher knowledge their order made sure that such things were gone from the world, they made sure that the world was based on proper knowledge rather than magic and prophecies

In pursuit of this goal the secret order had done many things like studying and destroying any evidence of magic and magical creatures,his contribution towards the order was the burning of summerhall,and that had earned him a significant position amongst his colleagues, but when the Targaryen boy became the King he knew something was coming for them but no one believed him, now look what happened

But there is still a way out of this, while his colleagues are tied up and were still dazed by the substance used to take them, they didn't do anything to him probably due to his age, he might be able to get help for others,he has to get some of them out or the their great order will die here in some cave

As he slowly moved to find a way out a huge wave of fire passed right in front of him,then he came face to face with the giant head of the beast, the one that his Order tried to make sure never to exist again but here he is with a dragon blocking his path

"Why are you in such a hurry to leave Maester things are just beginning to get interesting" with that a young man slowly came out of the darkness, Glydayn spent most of his life studying the Targaryens,the man in front of him might have black hair and grey eyes but he has all the other distinctive Targaryen features, this with the dragon can only be King Aegon Targaryen

"Come Maester let me show you all the knowledge that your order manage to get about the dragons" as he turned right in the middle of the floor there were a pile of books "not a lot is it, I thought you guys have more books, I read through all of it and realized that you guys for all your chains and vows don't know shit about dragons,but you guys managed to find out one fact that little hatchlings have weak fire during the first few moons of their life, and you all made full use of that fact after the dance of dragons didn't you to kill all of the remaining hatchlings, even with weak fire a dragon is still strong so your order used 14 different poisons on those little dragons, do you have any idea what that must have felt like for the little dragons,you can't eat,you can't properly breath, you just sit there waiting for your death,but right now all you fellow Maesters are experiencing the same thing and I didn't even use multiple poisons just one was enough "

Then Glydayn finally realised why his colleagues were not moving,it's seems their order is going to end here in this cave

"You must be wondering why are you not getting the same thing as you fellow colleagues, I have something special for you Maester Glydayn, I know with your age it hurts more to live than dying so you will watch as your precious order dies in flames while you can't do anything,I did this just like summerhall this whole place is dripping with wildfire but not enough to blow up but just enough to burn everything in it "

While he was shocked with everything he just heard the Targaryen boy just snapped his fingers and suddenly everything was on fire, he tried to go and help them but with wildfire the fire spread quickly and pretty soon he too was surrounded by fire from all sides

As the smoke was getting stronger he could literally feel his life draining out of him, as he was dying he watched the Targaryen boy flying away on his dragon and with the flaps of those giant wings the darkness finally took him
