Chapter 10 by The Archmaester The Archmaester

Where will you lead them?

To Vaes Dothrak

As talented as the Dothraki was in warfare, we would still be outnumbered by the armies of the Seven Kingdoms.

While my powers did guarantee success, I needed more men to make my invasion as realistic as possible Or else many of the nobles and smallfolk would begin to suspect me of indulging in dark magic. So I march my new army of almost 40,000 strong to Vaes Dothrak, the holy city of the nomadic race of horselords. The other khals would be opposed to the idea of a foreigner being head of a khalasar so it was for the best if I deal with them first and then begin my conquest.

"How long till we arrive?" Daenerys asked me after only a day of travelling. We had set up camp for the night to brace a heavy storm. "If the weather clears, maybe a week or two" I said, she was quiet around my presence since my fight with Drogo. So I took her question as a sign of her opening up to me. I poured two cups of full of wine and gave her one.

"What is it?" She asked as she timidly took the cup.

"Arbor gold" I said "Illyrio claimed that it is the best wine in all of Westeros"

She took a small sip and her eyes lit up.

"Do you like it" I asked already knowing the answer, I had all the power in the world, to end slavery, war, famine or even the thunderstorm that was now raging outside the small camp. But instead here I am, turning rainwater into an exquisite wine that I know Daenerys would love.

"I love it, its sweet and wonderful" then she paused "You never let me drink before, you said I wasnt..."

"Time has changed Dany" I cut her off. "I have changed. We are the last Targaryens left in the world. We need to look after one another. We need to trust each other if we are going to survive"

"I trust you" she whispered, I could sense she didnt really believe her own words. "But I thought you didnt care about me. I thought you wanted to sell me in exchange for an army but you didnt."

"That was the plan at first" I confessed "But the thought of you by Drogo's side, the thought of you bearing his children, I couldnt let that savage lay a hand on you, I dont want anyone to ever touch you but me"

Her eyes widen in surprise and from the candlelight I could see a faint smile but it disappeared as quickly as it appeared. "Viserys, do you really mean it?"

"Of course I meant it, you are beautiful and intelligent and have a gentle heart. You are a Queen fit for a King"

"Wait, you mean that you would take me to be your wi..."

"Shh" I cut her off "Lets not talk about it the future tonight, we have a long day tomorrow and you should get some rest before the storm gets and worse". To prove my point a loud roar of thunder could be heard from afar.

I got up to leave "Sweet dreams Daenerys" I gently kissed her forehead before leaving her alone with her thoughts.

And with that, the seed was planted.

Does something happen on the journey?
