Chapter Three

Aera sits beside Viserys during the wedding and Aera observes the area she doesn't enjoy it. The meat has a fly around it and the smell of rotten shit cannot be disregarded. Aera can see how uncomfortable her sister is, she cannot do anything for now.

Aera examined the Dōthrāki who had been fighting to fuck some girls who were dancing around making Aera flinch in disgust. Until it got severe and one man sliced out someone's gut. The people cheered and celebrated furthermore Aera wanted to leave.

"A Dothraki wedding without at least three deaths is considered a dull affair," Illyrio informed them and we can see that even Viserys is unsettled. Until a knight stepped forward, Aera identify the man... Ser Jorah Mormont.

A smile radiates on Aera's face seeing the man, he will be their greatest ally until the end. His devotion to Daenerys cannot be overshadowed.

"A small gift for the new Khaleesi. Songs and histories from the Seven Kingdoms." Ser Jorah handed the girl some books and Daenerys hurriedly turn to Aera. She knows how her sister loves reading books.

Aera smile.

"Thank you, Ser. Are you from my country?" Daenerys asked. She places the book on her side.

"Ser Jorah Mormont of Bear Island. I served your father for many years. Gods are good, I hope to always serve the rightful king." Ser Jorah declared and glance at Viserys who nodded.

Illyrio then presented Daenerys with two chests confusing Aera for she can recall that there's only one chest on show. The two slaves open the chests and it contains three dragons each. The First chest is the canon one and the second chest obtains Dark Blue, Dark Red, and Silver White dragon eggs.

"Dragons' eggs, Daenerys. From the Shadow Lands beyond Asshai. The ages have turned them to stone, but they will always be beautiful." Illyrio said

"Thank you, Magister."

" And the other chest, if you allowed, Daenerys. I would like to give them to your sister as another gift. " Illyrio said and turned to Aera who seems surprised. Viserys rolled his eyes, he knows the man fancy his youngest sister.

Daenerys cannot hide her smile, usually... It was Aera who taught her about dragons based on the books they read because Viserys mostly act so entitled to the point they can't bear him anymore. Both of them always wanted to have a dragon.

"Of course" Daenerys approved. She turned to Aera who had a reluctant expression. "Sister, come," Daenerys called and Aera stands up. The girl walks towards her sister and sits down beside the dragon eggs.

The girl remembers what Aegon told her, she will be given a dragon at the right time. Aera strokes the dragon eggs with her finger, feeling the shell on her skin.

"Thank you, Magister." Aera thanks. Everything was seen by Khal Drogo, the man noticed that both of the girls have similar features yet you can identify who's who. The man even notices that both of them own a beauty that no one can match.

Khal Drogo stands from his sit. Then Daenerys did the same while Aera also stand beside her sister. Khal Drogo step forward while his wife followed.

People also crowd behind the girl while Aera stays behind and observes what's about to happen. Khal Drogo presents her with a white mare. Daenerys approach the horse and the girl is amused.

"She's beautiful. ... Ser Jorah, I don't know how to say 'thank you' in Dothraki," Daenerys said and turned to Khal Drogo.

"There is no word for 'thank you' in Dothraki." Ser Jorah said. The Khal then put Daenerys on the mare and mount his horse. They soon leave, while everyone just pursues them with their eyes.

" You gifted my sister with dragon eggs, where's mine? " Viserys smugly asked. Illyrio already knows the true nature of Viserys so he prepared everything for the man.

" Your Grace, I do know that petrified eggs won't do you any good... So I present you with a sack of gold, something more valuable. " The man said and give the small sack of gold to Viserys. It's just a small sack, it does him well but it could only buy him a ship.

Aera saw everything and she didn't notice that Ser Jorah approach her. "Princess Aerasanne." The man called out.

Aera turned to the man. "Aera... Address me by the name Aera, Ser Jorah." Aera declared and the man nodded. Ser Jorah noticed that the girl seems uneasy and worried.

"Your sister will be fine, Khal Drogo would not harm her." Ser Jorah reassures. Aera knows this is a lie, there's no love between the two at this instant. Daenerys did sacrifice everything for her sister.

"She only weds him so I won't. Guard her, Ser Jorah. This will be the beginning of the end." Aera said and strolled away. The eyes of Jorah followed the Princess.

After the wedding, the troops or the horseman of Khal Drago will travel back to Vaes Dothrak, Now Daenerys is on the side riding her horse while looking at Drago and his people. She's in pain.

Ser Jorah approaches the girl.

"You need to drink, child. And eat."The man said and handed her the food he had reserved, she accepted it even though she doesn't like it.

"Where is my sister? I haven't seen her?" Daenerys asked worriedly. Both of them looked around and they spot another silver hair on the trail. She's heading towards them.

"Aera, where have you been?" Daenerys asked concerned.

"I'm still not used to this horse, sister. But I got you this" Aera drawled and take something from her bag, a piece of bread that she hide for her sister. Daenerys happily accepted it.

"Where did you get this?" The girl questioned.

"I took it from Illyrio, I figured you will be hungry," Aera said and this made Daenerys smile. Aera is known for being fast and clever, she's the one who stole some bread and water when they were little just to make it through. No one ever find out it was her.

Aera and Daenerys glance at the comprehensive field of grass.

"The Dothraki have two things in abundance: grass and horses. People can't live on grass. In the Shadow Lands beyond Asshai, they say there are fields of ghost grass with stalks as pale as milk that glow in the night. It murders all other grass. The Dothraki believe that one day it will cover everything. That's the way the world will end. It'll get easier." Ser Jorah enunciates.

They reach their camp and Daenerys looked so exhausted from the travel that she almost falls from her horse. Luckily her handmaid and Aera were there to escort her.

At the camp, the two handmaids tend to Daenerys hands and clean her up while Aera just examines the area.

They kept talking about the dragons while Aera just rolled her eyes at the false story, she didn't intrude and just skimmed.

Daenerys dismiss her two handmaids and left with Doreah, the girl who will double cross her at some point. "Sister sit beside me," Daenerys called and Aera did what she was told.

Aera grabbed Dany's hand and carefully rubbed it. Daenerys adores it when her sister does that, it makes her calm.

"Can you teach me how to make the Khal happy?" Daenerys asked. Aera perked when she heard this, she glance at Doreah who grins.

"Yes."

"Will it take three years ?"

" No."

" Leave us for a minute Doreah. " Aera said and the girl looked for Daenerys permission and the Khalessi nodded. Doreah departs.

" What is your plan, sister?" Aera asked. Daenerys turned to her sister and clasped both her hands.

" I want us to be safe, Aera. If I could make the Khal happy he will keep us safe. Viserys won't do anything to harm us." Daenerys affirmed.

" I know a person when I see one. The Khal would not take Viserys seriously, Sister. I know the way he looked at our brother... He saw him for a fool. " Aera told and Daenerys nodded as she understands what her sister meant.

" I know that, and I see the way the other Dōthrāki looked at you. I cannot let anyone harm you, sister. As long as I can make the Khal happy, I could protect you. " Daenerys said. She will do everything she could just to make sure her younger sister is safe from those hungry stares.

She will acquire the favor of the Khal just to protect her from his horsemen. Aera doesn't have any idea how can she repay the girl.

" I already name my dragon eggs sister," Aera said trying to divert the topic. Daenerys face lit up hearing this.

" What is it? " She asked. They both turn their body on the other corner where the dragon eggs of Aera are placed.

" The red one will be Erythra, I read somewhere that it means Red... Other than that I find it a beautiful name. " Aera casually said making Daenerys laugh. " The Blue one will be Galazia meaning Light blue even though that's dark blue and the silver one will be Luna, which means moon." Aera happily said.

"Where did you get all of this name?" Daenerys asked. The girl is still beaming at how her sister casually says all of this.

"From a book, the one I stole from the houses we have been. Some of them are from the novel I read." Aera said. "How about you sister, have you come up with a name?" The girl asked.

"No" Daenerys sadly said. For some reason, she cannot say any name for now and Aera understand that. When their dragons hatch, the girl will probably come up with an idea.

"Well, we have plenty of time. For now, I want to you take rest and sleep. You have a long day...." Aera commands and put her sister to sleep. Daenerys cannot retaliate anymore as she is tired from all the travel and what Khal Drogo did to her.

Daenerys lay on her bed while her sister cover her with a blanket. "Don't leave." Daenerys sleepily said and Aera just smiled. She kissed her forehead and let her rest.

Aera took a deep breath. A new beginning. The girl slinks out of the tent and out of the camp. She made sure no one saw her as she run towards the big field. Once she was far away from everyone, she waited for her master to appear.

Then, there she is. The Warrior Queen, Visenya Targaryen. She appears in front of Aera who's ready for another training. They have been training every night and they only rest once a week. Luckily the girl is a fast learner and could now fight ten commoners if she needed to. Visenya made sure that Aera knows how to defend herself without the help of others.

After their training. Visenya stared at the exhausted girl, she was just spirit so she wouldn't feel any pain or exhaustion from the training.

"Rhaenys, my sister is the one who picks those Dragon eggs for you." Visenya suddenly said. This caught the girl's attention.

"Really!? Tell her to thank you so much and they were lovely. But where do they come from?" The girl asked.

"Those dragon eggs are different, they are formed not by flesh but by magic. None of them are the descendants of the other dragons. Take very good care of them, Aerasanne." Visenya coldly said and Aera nodded. "Your request will already be given to you once it is announced that Daenerys is pregnant. For now here" Visenya toss her a book.

It's a black book without a title on its cover. Aera can feel something powerful inside the book and she knows what is this. "A book to become a mage or a sorceress," Aera whispered.

"Wipe it three times and the book will turn into a small size, you could now take the book everywhere you want," Visenya informs. Aera did what the woman said and swipe it three times and the book shrunk. It's the same size as her index finger, she could make a key chain out of this.

"wipe it again three times upward and it goes back to the way it was. Use it properly, Aerasanne." The woman said and disappear. Aera is used to the cold gesture that the woman gave her, for now, she will study how to become a mage or a sorceress like the people in Valyria to protect her and Daenerys.
