"Two daughters and potentially, a gold mine." Mya said as she sat on the bed, "Are you really going to consider this? The Duskguard isn't just some army, they consist of your Blessed."
I crossed my arms, "I know what they are." I said, "And we require the Gold."
"You can just take it." Mya said
"And spark a conflict? That would contradict the deal." I said, "I won't go around breaking deals."
We were in our quarters later that night, Maegelle was in a separate room as she requested. I could tell that she was anxious the entire time, for some reason. I can only imagine that she has began to pray to the Seven.
"Well, you aren't just anyone." She said with a slight smirk, "You are Drakken."
"I know." I said as I walked over to the bed, "I am not interested in two little girls. It took me a while to even look at your direction in that manner."
"Hm...I am aware." She said with a smile
I sat down next to her, "But it is intriguing." I said, "Lannister's scheme. He truly intends to grasp the world, the way he's moving. He alongside the other Lords of the Realm saw my actions and he decided it would benefit him. Not just him, The Martells from Dorne as well."
"Are you not concerned that the Duskguard would be used against you? Or our Weapons?" She asked, "Just a thought."
"Not really." I said as she leaned her head on my shoulder and placed her hand on my chest, "I gave them the power, I can easily take it away. As for our Weapons, they will never defy their master."
"I see." She said, "Those girls are beautiful. They would be such a waste....."
I raised an eyebrow, "You want me to take them?" I asked her, "Naughty."
"Not in that manner." She said, "I want you for myself. But they are Lannisters....should you have them, they could be used in your favor."
"In what way?" I asked
"They are highborn." She told me, "Even as a bastard, having highborn blood gave me some benefits. And they have them as well, especially being Golden Lions."
"Is that so?" I said, "What good is a lion to me?"
"What good was I to you?" She asked with a chuckle
"You are a Greenseer." I told her, "You had your uses."
"Yes, well...." She said, "It is just a thought. If you don't want them, you can give them to one of your loyal servants. Jon, perhaps. He's young and has proven himself well to you. Olyver as well....."
"Interesting." I said, "But accepting them would mean that I would give over the Duskguard...."
"Well, you can just take them." Mya said, "Should you decide that the deal is not worth it. You did so with Maegelle."
"She was mine, rightfully. As is Saera." I said, "I won't just kidnap anyone."
"Well...." She said, "You can accept the deal, have the girls, send over the Duskguard over here....take the gold required for your next project.....and then when you decide the Lannisters aren't of use, just take the Duskguard away. You can have the girls as hostages to have them do as you are told."
"That is a much better plan." I said with a smirk
"I am surprised you did not think of that." She told me as she rubbed my chest, "Is your mind clouded?"
"Perhaps." I said, "It is the girl."
"Maegelle?" She said, "Oh, that girl is doing wonders to you, Drakken.....why did she accept the invitation? You said you didn't force her."
"She wanted fresh air, I suppose." I told her, "But there is something else..."
"She is young." She said, "Soon, she'll warm up to you."
"Hm." I said, "If that is what you say."
I heard a knock on the door which caused me to look up. Mya had raised her eyebrow as she pulled away, looking at the door.
"Who is it?" She called out
"It is I...." a female voice was said, "One of Lord Tyland's daughters....the one that was offered....."
I looked at Mya without saying anything.
"What is it?" Mya said, "It is late."
"I wish to speak to Lord Drakken." The girl said
I flicked my wrist and the door swung open, revealing the young blonde standing in the doorway wearing a white nightgown. Her blonde hair was let loose, and draped over her shoulders. Looking at her closely, she had a nice and petite build, a bit of curves in her hips and waist.
I looked at her, "What do you want?" I said
"I..." She started, her eyes fixated on me, a strange glint in them, "I wanted to see you.....O, Great God of War...."
"Come inside." Mya told her as she gestured her over
The girl walked inside as she had her hands behind her back, perking her chest up.
I waved my hand and closed the door behind her, using my telekinesis.
"Hm...." I said, "What is it?"
She gave me a slight smile, "It is true...." She said, "You are a being of great power......I did not think it was possible to meet someone like you. Tell me, is it true that you started a war solely because the Targaryen girl refused you?"
I scowled, "What is it to you?"
"You are quite rude, girl." Mya said, "You dare interrupt our intimacy to ask such questions?"
Her eyes lit up, "Can I join?" She asked, "I..."
I appeared in front of her, "Mind your tongue." I said seriously as I gave her a glare, which shocked her, "Don't joke around like that."
I sniffed the air, taking in her scent.
"My Lord?" Mya asked
"Virgin." I said with a raised eyebrow, "But you are quite curious......"
She smiled and began to twirl her hair in her finger, "Well...." She said, "I-"
I cut her off by placing my hand on her chin, squeezing her cheeks slightly, "Have you performed any inappropriate acts?" I asked seriously, "Answer me truthfully."
"N-No...." She said, "I....am pure....."
"Not of the mind, it seems." Mya said with a chuckle
I let go of her, "Begone, girl." I said, "I don't intend on humoring you."
"Please." She held onto my arm, "I am a Lord's daughter.....I am meant to be given to someone for political gain...but if I am to be given to someone with great power.....I would be happy..."
"I said no." I said, "I have not even decided on humoring your Father with the deal."
"Please..." She said
"I don't even know your name." I told her
"I am Dara." She said with a smile, "Dara Lannister. My sister is named Daranne."
"Okay." I said, "Dara. Do yourself a favor...."
"Leave."

(Third Person POV)
Maegelle sat next to the open window, looking up at the night sky. She held a small pendant in her hand, holding it firmly as her gaze was set upon the moon that shone brightly among the stars. The pendant was that of the Seven, a gift from her mother when the Queen had visited her in Harrenhal.
"The Stars....." She said softly, "That is where you are from, Drakken?"
She looked at her pendant, seeing the symbol of the Seven. She then clutched and it held it close to her chest, her other hand on her lap.
"I will not waver...." She said as she felt discomfort from her mark, "I will not...."
She winced, feeling the effect of the Mark. Because her heart was not honest to the Trinity, her Mark would cause her discomfort and depending on the severity, it could even cause pain.
"I...." She sighed, "I will not lose Faith...."
She then heard a thud coming from outside her door, causing her to look up in alarm.
"What?" She said
Suddenly, the door creaked open, which surprised her.
Then, Dalton Lannister walked in, wearing his casual nightwear as he had his sword in his hand.
Maegelle quickly stood up and looked at her, "Lord Dalton..." she said, "What is the meaning of this?"
Dalton closed the door and locked it, "I hear your sister is promised to Drakken." He said with a serious scowl on his face, "That is not fair, is it?"
"What?" Maegelle asked
"What should I do about that?" Dalton said as he walked over to her with a menacing look in his face, "Tell me, girl...."
Maegelle gulped, "I would reconsider whatever you are thinking if I were you..." She started, "You do not want to get harmed...."
"Shut up." Dalton said seriously as he reached for her arm, "And just let it happen."
Maegelle tried to pull away but Dalton had grabbed her firmly, "N-No!" She exclaimed, "What are you doing?!"
"I am getting what is rightfully mine!" Dalton exclaimed,
"Don't fight back!"
