As they drew closer to pentos the group started to notice the changes. There were caravans carring the royal banners of house targaryen. They merchants were honoring there ties to their family.
When they got close enough the could see the city it was even more beautiful then before. On the cliffs that the largest mansions were built now stood a fortress, the pallisades draped with the dragon banner.
Aemon thought to himself, it's only been two years what they hell did grandmother do. They made it to the gate where they were met by a jonin retinue protecting a woman it was lyanna.
Aemon could see the tears in her eyes. She lost all her regal decorum and ran to the children. She hugged all four of them she still considered vasenya a child as well. This was the longest she has been away from the kids and her heart was in pain almost every day.
After the heartfelt greeting they moved to the grand palace. Aemon was curious tobsee all the new building that had been built one imperticular cuaght his atention. It was large enough to seem like a magisters home. He realized this was not the case when he saw commoners entering and exiting as easily as if it were there own homes. Lyanna told him that was the hospital, the most advanced in the world. Aemon swore to check it out later.
Finally at the fortress aemon could see that it's walls were star shaped and with an arrow head shape at the points. It made the fortress completely impenetrable by normal forces. No matter where attacked from, the enemy could be rained down on by multiple sides.
Lyanna told them it was an easy feat to build it with earth style. She told them that rhaella came up with a way to have nature energy flow into the walls at all times, strengthening them, with seals. Aemon was surprised he did not expect rhaella to be messing with nature energy so soon.
Inside the walls He also noticed another large building this one smaller and instead of a rectangualar building like the hospital this one was more like a domed amphitheater. It was seperate from the palace. It was in its own corner and walled off from the rest.
Aemon asked what that building was, lyanna said it was the city's administration building where rhaellas solar was and there was also a great hall where the people of the city could come and give payment for services requested from the targeryen family. Aemon would go see that one as well.
The girls were getting excited at seeing there new home. They did not marvel at how it was built of anything like that. They made there way to the massive throne room led by 2 jonin guards. Once they arrived they were met with rhaella sitting on the throne. Beside her were three braziers whith domed covers.
Aemon could already guess what they were as they drew closer and felt the heat.the entire group was surprised. The hall was empty and rhaella stepped down and greeted her grandkids and daughters.
After the moment she pointed to the braziers and said this was present she had for them and had the lids lifted by the guards. Three eggs were in the pits. They were being kept on coals of charcoal. One was black with red highlights if you looked at the right angles. One was a deep green with lighter green highlights. The last was a solid silver color.
She told the kids that she was tracking these eggs before they even left. Then they miraculously ended up in the hands a pentosi magister and when she annexed his lands and wealth they became hers.
Aemon could only laugh at how the story of illyrio Mopetezs downfall happened. he thought himself to important and tried to seduce and bind himself to rhaella.
They girls saw the eggs rhaenyra wanted the black one to match night aemon smiled at her simple thoughts. Visenya was drawn to the green one. Dany was attracted to the silver one. When the girls flocked aemon only stood by. Rhaella was about to reprimand the girls as she believed a king would need a dragon.
When she was about to speak aemon spoke first." These eggs are yours take the ones you like". Rhaella had a shocked expression on her face which made aemon laugh.
Aemon figured it was time to show his family one of his secrets. He pulled his egg out of his inventory. The looks he got were priceless to him. Visenya as blunt and straight faced as she could asked "did you just lay an egg".
The hall was silent except for the the sudden burst of hysterical laughter that came from aemon, he did not stop for minutes and almost passed out like he did as a child. When he calmed he told them that with his Chakra he was able to form a space that was frozen in time large enough to store a lot of things so he did not have to carry stuff.
They were dumbfounded, and after a brief pause begged him to teach them. He made up an excuse saying they could do so with seals like he had. Even though he was using his inventory.
Rhaella told everyone to go and rest and had guards guide them to new quarters. They all had suite style rooms. They were decorated according to targaryen customs for dany and visenya. Rhaenyras and aemons were a mix of targeryen and stark colors. Each room had a hearth for the eggs. As they really did not need them for heat. In the warm pentosi climate.
Aemon also found a large chest in his living area. It was filled with gold. He knew what he was going to do with it. He touched the chest and it went into his inventory 27000 gp appeared on his screen. Enough for three rounds of ten draws from his gotcha. But he also looked at the shop.
He was looking for bloodline magic. This was not the first time he looked for it though as the thought crossed his mind before. He knew where to look and it did not take long to find what he was after. He could purchase the targaryen fire resistance from the shop.
On there journey aemon subtly tested his theory that dany was the only one who naturally had it. He was happy with how wrong he was. As visenya had it as well in this au. The bad part was rhaenyra and him did not. When he looked at the price the first time he was excited as one card of the magic was equal to ten gacha pulls. So only 9000gp.
So he bought 2 of them and used his immediately. He ran down the hall to the next room over which was rhaenyras . She was awake playing with night it was a funny scene as he saw the girl climbing all over the horse sized direwolf like she was one of its puppies. It made him smile. Night noticed his intrusion first. He put his finger to his lip to gesture for night to be quite. She did not give him away. Untill ghost burst through the door behind him.
Rhaenyra shrieked from the suprise. Ghost padded over and laid beside night eager to watch what was about to happen. After catching her breath she got up from the ground and walked over to aemon and punched his arm. It hurt badly and when he looked at his sister her hair was dancing in the air like octopus tentacles flying around. It was a marvel to look at. He was stunned to his spot. She moved before he did and tackled him. No words were spoken but the fury in her eyes said all.
They started wrestling on the ground. Aemon sneakily took the fire resistance card out of his inventory and place it on her skin. She did not notice because of her anger. They wrestled for a while with aemon laughing. When he notice bronzeish sheen form around her he knew he fucked up.
He activated the same skill they had been learning together. The adamantine sealing chains. They wrapped eachother up and they drew closer and closer. They were inches apart facing each other. The anger was gone at this point. Replaced by something else. They let the chains drop and cuaght eachother in there arms.
Aemon brought his face closer to rhaenyras flushed face. He kissed her lips gentle comforting trying not to let his emotions rule him. They separated both panting for air. Neither understanding what just happened.
Before aemon could speak rhaenyra pushed him out the door and shut it. Her mind swirling in a mess. This was not how she dreamed her first kiss would go. Especially after a fight. She knew she loved aemon but did not know his feelings. When he moved first she confirmed he felt the same way.
Aemon standing outside the door was frozen he was thinking how things escalated from play fighting to kissing. He knew he loved her. He never had the chance to talk to her about it.
While still frozen the door opened. And rhaenyra was in his face agian she kissed him this time. They stood there frozen afterward. Panting for air when aemon was finally able to speak he said the only thing that could come to his mind. "I love you". They kissed agian in the doorway. Taking so long that ghost was impatient and wanted to leave. He looked at night communicating some how with noise. They walked up to the two of them and started licking there faces. Completely ruining the moment.
Rhaenyra feeling shy dragged night back in the room and slammed the door. Aemon started walking aimlessly mind soaring with thoughts of happened. Ghost was by his side. Herding him to there room. Aemons thoughts cleared and looked at ghost. Who he could have sworn had a smirk on his face. The realizing he was licked by the beast he had to wash his face and rest for a bit.
He went to dining hall where his family was sitting ghost went to the side where night was and there own meals were brought in. Aemon looked to rhaenyra first she was a blushing mess. He giggled a bit and sat down next to her. Grabbed her hand and held it by their sides. She blushed harder.
Everyone stared at them. They all knew what happened as the fight cuase to much comossion so they all popped there heads out of there doors and saw what happened. The girls were not jealous they knew eventually it would be their turn. As the same tension was building with them as well.
Aemon broke the awkward silence, he looked a rhaella and said" so about the eggs I have found a way to hatch them." Gasps were heard by all. Rhaella quickly asked how.
Aemon answered by lighting a candle that was on the table and sticking his hand above the flame. More gasps were heard, then a shout.
Dany stood and ran over yelling" I thought I was the only one" at the same time visenya did the same and said the same.
Then aemon moved his other hand still clasped with rhaenyras and put them both over the fire.she was startled at first but noticed it did not burn her either.
Aemon looked at rhaella and said " we all have the blood of dragons in our veins we are all immune to fire." He went on to explain the tests he had done before and the ritual that would need to take place. Rhaella and lyanna looked conflicted but both nodded ther heads. Rhalla spoke and said " we will set everything up for tonight then we will see our legacy be reborn tonight".
Rhaella commanded that 4 prisoners be brought from the cells. They had one large pyre built in the fortresses training yard the largest open space. The children and visenya brought the eggs. And place them where they needed to be. The only people present were the family no guards could witness what was yo happen. Not that they could not be trusted but aemon did not want anyone to see the girls afterward. Possessive yes. After the kiss with rhaenyra he realized he truly loved all of them and Noone would see his women but him.
After the eggs were in place he took the valyrian steel dagger he had and cut his hand and let the blood drip onto the blue egg. He passed the knife and the girls did the same with their eggs. The prisoners were screaming and cursing them. Aemon looked to rhaella and gave the signal.
She lit the pyre and flames soared into the sky higher the the palace it's self. The training yard turned into a veritable hell. Rhaella and lyanna had to back away and stand behind a wall to block the heat.
After ten minutes the first crack sounded it was like a lighting bolt. Then followed many more. The fire gradually died out and kneeling in the ashes Were four people.
Soot covered their naked bodies and climbing around them were the four baby dragons. On aemons head sat his, it's scales shimmering a deep almost metallic blue with gold streaks forming dazzling lines down it's sides and back it had wings spread and the membrane was the same blue what gold looking veins throughout.
Rhaenyra was kneeling and her black dragons tail coiling around her neck and sitting on her shoulder. She had the brightest smile on her face not even paying attention to her nakedness. The dragon chirped and spread it's wings as well head up in sky. Shades of red in the black scales could be seen. The membranes of the wings were a blood red color. It looked malicious but it brought head down and nuzzled it into rhaenyras cheek.
Visenyas green dragon laid in her arms being cradled like a baby it had dark and light shades to it's scales. With light colored spikes sprouting around its head. She was petting it softly. The dragon was docile and calm but took vicious.
Dany was the last to be seen she was on her knees with the silver dragon on her shoulder. Rhaella could not tell where the dragon stopped and her daughter bagan as her hair matched the scales perfectly it was an elegant looking dragon smooth face and lines in its scales. It did not look as menacing as the black or green dragon. It looked majestic like the blue and gold one.
Aemon looked at the girls and his heart almost stopped. Even with being a bit dirty they were all beautiful. He leaned over and kissed rhaenyra. Dany taking the initiative when they broke the kissed slammed her lips to his as well.
Visenya though significantly older was still a maiden and had never felt like this before. She did the same when dany was done.
Rhaella walked up them all and smiled and said they would be like aegon and his queens in the future. Lyanna was a bit shocked but accepted the targeryen way.
Rhealla also gave them all clothes. Aemon was disappointed though. And asked what the names were. The girls followed tradition with rhaenyra naming hers balerion and visenyas was vhagar and dany named hers meraxes. Aemon just laughed and followed suit he named his tessarion. As that dragon was the closest to his in color plus he liked the name.
They did not have to worry about the safety as pentos is probably the safest place in this world with the shinobi protecting it. Rhaella told him at dinner that the ranks swelled in there absence they have a standing army of 2500 shinobi. And 1000 they have on espionage missions. Throughout the westeros and essos.
Aemon was thinking of what was to come next. They knew about all the turmoil in westeros. They knew that Jon arryn was being poisoned they even knew of cercie and Jamie's affairs as well as varyss schemes. Which is why illyrio went down as well.
The next day aemon was sitting in the administration building with rhaella she was detailing the missed info to him while he was away. They planned and rhaella decided it was time for the targaryens to step into the political depths of westeros.
