[A Few Weeks Later....]
"Dragon...!" a Guard called out as a massive shadow flew over Harrenhal, "Alert Lord Drakken!"
A cloaked figure appeared from an entrance to a tower in the massive castle and approached the guards who had spotted the silver dragon.
"Lord Drakken is expecting her." The person said, "Be on the lookout for more, however. It is only supposed to be The Queen."
The guards nodded, "Very well." one of them said as they looked back up to see Silverwing flapping her wings around the castle, "We'll keep an eye out."
The cloaked figure then looked up to see Silverwing making her way to land on the side of the massive castle. This was one of the Greenseers who were under Drakken's employ, one of Lady Mya's underlings. It was one of those that helped Olyver take Harrenhal back during the brief war that Drakken had started.
"Hm..." She said as she twirled a piece of bone between her fingers, "Interesting....I wonder what will happen now that she's here. Lord Drakken mentioned that the King did not want this. Has she come here without his leave? How amusing....."
**********
Jon Rivers walked inside the large room where Drakken sat on a large throne, in a relaxed position. Queen Alysanne walked behind him, wearing a long dark blue dress and had a fur cloak that was draped above it.
"The Queen, Alysanne Targaryen...." Jon said as he stood in front of her, "Lord Drakken....she is here, alone."
Drakken was smoking from his bone pipe, which he had fashioned from Balerion's bone, "Hm...." He said simply as he exhaled some smoke, "What is this? The Queen herself has come all this way to Harrenhal?"
Alysanne stepped forth, "You know why I am here." She said seriously, "Where is she? Where is my daughter?"
Drakken shrugged, "Somewhere in the Castle." He said, "She's been exploring it plenty ever since reconstruction has begun. I have to say, her mind can get quite adventurous....."
"It is because you keep her caged up in this wretched place." Alysanne said, "Bring her here. We have an agreement, Drakken."
Drakken lowered his pipe and exhaled a large cloud of smoke, his eyes boringly staring right at the Queen, "How are your children?" He asked, "Aemon, Baelon?"
"That is no concern of yours." Alysanne said
"I hear your grandson is quite ill." Drakken said as he leaned back, "On and off with a really bad fever and serious coughing.....I wonder what it could be...."
Alysanne scowled, "Listen....."
"Tsk tsk...." Drakken said, "If you are about to suggest that I have something to do with that, then you'd be sorely mistaken. I could not care less about the well-being of Aemon's children.....well, that is far from the truth. It'd be a shame if my livestock suddenly died of illness...where else would I get my high?"
"Is that all we are to you?" Alysanne asked, "A source of bliss? Taking the magic in our blood?"
"That is correct." Drakken said, "That is all. But worry not, I have not done that to Maegelle....I haven't even touched her. I swear by that. I don't have any plans on draining her magic power directly.....that is what Saera will be for."
Alysanne was about to speak when the door to the side opened and Maegelle was seen walking in. She wore a black dress with red outlining, her hair was let lose and was combed neatly as she had two silver earrings with a purple gem on them.
"M-Maegelle!" Alysanne said
Maegelle looked at her mother with surprise, "Mother...." She said, "I knew I heard Silverwing's song....what are you doing here?"
Without thinking twice, Alysanne ran to her and hugged her immediately, holding her tightly as the young girl was caught off guard by this.
"Oh....my sweet girl...." She said softly, "I missed you so much...."
"Mother...." Maegelle said as she hugged her back, "What...."
Alysanne pulled away, "Are you alright?" She asked, "I had to come and see it for myself....Is he treating you well"
Maegelle nodded, "I am fine." She said, "Drakken does not bother me....he makes sure I am comfortable..."
Alysanne looked at Drakken who was smoking from his pipe, paying them no attention.
"If you say so...." The Queen said
"Yes.....it is fine...." Maegelle said, "Nobody bothers me....it gets lonely, however...but Lady Mya keeps me company when she notices...."
"Lady Mya?" Alysanne asked
"Drakken's consort." Maegelle said
"More like mistress." Drakken said, "If anyone would be my consort, it'd be you, Maegelle. When you get older, though."
Alysanne looked at him, "A god adopting the ways of men..." She said, "I did not think that low of you, Drakken."
"Oooh, how hurtful." Drakken exhaled a large smoke yet again, "You think the worst of me, Alysanne......say, how is your relationship with your husband? Good....? I don't think you'd be willing to-"
"No." Alysanne cut her off
"Hehe...." Drakken said, "I am merely teasing.....anyways, You can stay here with your daughter for the day....and maybe the next day as well. In exchange for one thing."
"W-What is it?" Alysanne asked, expecting the worst from a deal with him
"I promised some peace....." Drakken said, "And I am a God of my word......so I intend to keep it. However, the moment that anyone dares fuck with me, I am more than willing to raze some villages and place heads on pikes, your Husband is well aware of that."
"As am I." Alysanne said as she grabbed Maegelle's hand, "Where is this headed?"
"House Lannister and House Martell." Drakken said, "They have been rather pushy as of late. It is beginning to get rather annoying. I want House Targaryen to send a message to the Martells, telling them to lay off us while I deal with the Lannisters."
"What?" Alysanne asked
"They wanted to establish a trading route directly to us." Drakken said, "But in exchange, they wanted my 'weapons' which is a big no. Since then, they have been persistent. I told them we could work something out but they want my stuff badly....they even sent a spy. I killed her of course. She tried to seduce me....can you believe that?"
"For what reason do they want your weapons?" Alysanne asked
"I'll let you take a guess." Drakken said with a smirk, "War against you. And as the God of War, that sounds really nice. However, as The God of War, I decide when War breaks out. And I do not feel like waging war just yet."
"And what does House Lannister have to do with this?" Alysanne asked, "They want your weapons as well?"
"No." Drakken said, "They want my Army. Or at least its power.....they have offered me a daughter or two in exchange for a Fort to be established in the Westerlands manned by my Duskguard. Pretty nice deal.....but I have no interest in their daughters.....Their gold, however....."
"You just want.....wealth...?" Alysanne asked
"Not necessarily....well....yes...." Drakken said, "I want access to their Gold mines...that is all...I'll take it from there..."
"Well...." Alysanne said, "What do you need me to do?"
"Have your Husband send a message to House Martell, telling them to fuck off while I deal with House Lannister." Drakken told her, "If you promise me that, you can spend as much time you want here with Maegelle. And if you can successfully have the Martells to fuck off, you can come as many times as you want, even unannounced."
Alysanne nodded, "Fine...." She said, "I'll see to it that it is done."
Drakken exhaled some smoke, "Great!" He said as he stood up, "Your Daughter is Sixteen....she should enjoy her adolescent years. When she turns Eighteen, my bed will be open to her. Should she want to lay in it.... Our House is a new one and as the God of War and Death, I need an Heir....someone to take the lead whenever I don't want to. So.....if Maegelle wants to.....to grow our House...."
"She could bear me a child."
