✨Resenha Interligados

 Dessa vez meu comentário vai começar um pouquinho diferente...

"Querida Nick.

    Um livro favorito, um bebê para nós leitores, tal qual o meu "PJO e o Ladrão de Raios" é para mim, é sempre um livro difícil de emprestar, as vezes impossível de sair da estante se não for para nossas próprias mãos. Você me emprestou um livro assim!! Era para ser uma recomendação e empréstimo de um livro que gostávamos e você me entregou um livro com esse peso pra ler!! Menina, imagina o meu medo e pânico cada vez que eu pegava esse livro na mão. Da próxima, por favor, ajuda sua amiga com ansiedade e me empresta um livro de peso normal (risos), que se acontecer qualquer coisa eu possa comprar um novo que não vá trazer traumas para nenhuma de nós duas. Obrigada pela confiança e por me apresentar um dos seus mundos favoritos, eu gostei muito de conhecer o Aden (Haden) e seus muitos amigos."

    Agradecimentos feitos, agora vamos para a hora verdade. O livro da vez foi "Interligados - Aden Stone e a Batalha Contra as Sombras" o primeiro livro da trilogia "Interligados" da escritora Gena Showater, lançado em 2010, que mistura mistério, drama, romance, ação e o paranormal, vindo direto de um dos desafios das Gliterárias, onde nós tínhamos que emprestar entre nós um livro para a outra, que fosse um livro que gostávamos muito da história, e ai volto eu para casa com a bomba, "o livro favorito" de uma amiga. Cuidei tal qual um filho, passou um bom tempo na minha cabeceira para que eu ficasse de olho nele o tempo todo, até eu criar coragem para o ler. 

    E aí veio a segunda bomba, a Nick (a mãe\dona do livro) tinha me falado um pouco da história, a sinopse atrás do livro complementou meu entendimento inicial e ... bem ele não é um livro da minha vibe (risos nervosos). Eu olhei pro plot, o plot olhou pra mim e nós decidimos que um não servia para o outro. Mas, eu precisava ler e ele já estava ali. Então, eu comecei a minha batalha contra as sombras.

Aden Stone, que na verdade se chama Haden Stone (e esse foi um fato engraçadíssimo pra mim, o querido não sabia falar o próprio nome e até hoje se apresenta se chamando de Aden), é um garoto que a princípio eu entendi, tal qual os médicos dele entenderam que fosse, um garoto esquizofrênico, ou no mínimo, com transtorno dissociativo de identidade. Aden tem 4 almas vivendo na cabeça dele. E, pasmem, cada alma tem um super poder. Enquanto o super poder de Aden é ser super perturbado por esses quatro 24h por dia. Então vamos começar por aí, os 4 amigos mais íntimos de Aden e seus poderes: Julian, ele pode ressuscita os mortos, na realidade ele os ressuscita sem querer fazer isso, basta ele chegar perto de um cemitério que os mortos se levantam e tentam devorar o pobre Aden; Elijah, prevê o futuro, bom, ele tem visões do futuro, que na maioria das vezes quando mudam é para pior, então, Aden mesmo não gostando do que Elijah compartilha com ele, o garoto tenta não mudar o que vê, por que já aprendeu que as mortes vistas por Elijah acontecem independente do que Aden faça para mudar; Eve, pode viajar no tempo, bom, "ela" pode fazer Aden voltar por alguns momentos em uma parte da vida do menino e ali eles podem alterar algumas coisas que aconteceram com o garoto, as vezes para melhor, as vezes para pior, por isso, Aden odeia quando Eve os manda de volta para algum momento de sua vida, visto que o menino foi abandonado e passou boa parte da vida internado em diversos hospitais psiquiátricos; e finalmente, chegamos em Caleb que tem o dom de tomar para si o corpo de outra pessoa por um tempo, Aden pode se fundir e possuir o corpo de alguém, o que é estranhamente legal em alguns eventos (risos), exemplo, possuir o corpo de um lobisomem muito, muito zangado e correr por aí.

    Tudo que Aden sabe é que esses 4 queridos que vivem dentro dele nem sempre estiveram ali, eles tinham uma vida antes de estarem em Aden mas não conseguem se lembrar de quem foram antes disso, por isso seus nomes atuais foi Aden quem ajudou a dá-los, e tudo que esses 4 queridos querem é estar fora da cabeça do jovem, apesar de o terem acompanhado desde o nascimento até agora em seus 16 anos, eles querem seus corpos de volta. E Aden não os aguenta mais dando conselhos a todo momento não deixando o menino em paz. Eve é a voz da razão e mãe do grupo, Elijah é o tio do "eu avisei", Caleb é quem dá as ideias ruins e atazana Aden o tempo todo quando vê uma menina bonita ou alguém querendo briga com o menino, e Julian gosta de estar do lado de todos comentando sempre a favor da voz que estiver falando mais alto.

    E bem, para falar com seus amigos, Aden até pode falar mentalmente com eles mas as vozes falam tanto que a voz do mais novo nunca é ouvida em meio a bagunça, então infelizmente Aden precisa falar em voz alta para que eles escutem o que bem... faz com que Aden seja taxado de maluco. Atualmente Aden está vivendo em um rancho para jovens rapazes com problemas onde o dono do lugar tenta dar aos meninos uma segunda chance de viver em sociedade, o que em tese era uma boa ideia. Mas na pratica acaba não sendo tão bom assim. Quando Aden fica sozinho com os garotos eles mostram o lado que os fez acabar ali. Então para ficar o mais longe possível dos rapazes Aden costuma fazer suas atividades do rancho bem rápido e fica o mais afastado possível dos garotos até a hora de dormir. Certo dia quando Aden finalmente consegue seu primeiro final de semana fora do rancho ele caminha sem rumo pela cidade que mal conhece apenas para tentar relaxar um pouco de sua própria situação. O ruim é que o garoto não conhece a cidade ainda então acaba parando bem no meio de um cemitério e quando Aden nota isso Julian também acaba notando e os mortos começam a se levantar. Em meio ao caos do ataque Aden nota uma presença e imediatamente olha para onde essa vem e ali ele se depara com uma menina, que parece tão assustada quanto ele e quando seus olhos se encontram um vento forte empurra ambos para o chão a menina se recupera mais rápido e corre dali enquanto Aden tem que se livra da cena do crime que acaba de cometer sem querer. Ali o garoto se lembra de uma das mais recentes visões de Elijah, a garota quem ele viu Aden beijando. 

Aqui meus queridos eu achei o nosso querido herói muito emocionado, Elijah viu ele beijando a garota e automaticamente o Aden assume que eles são namorados, então por que não correr atrás da provável garota não é verdade? Mas o que o menino notou também é que assim que os olhos dos dois se encontraram as vozes se calaram, elas ficaram atordoadas enquanto a garota estava por perto e assim que ela se afastou elas pediram que Aden não fosse mais atrás da menina pois ela tinha um estranho efeito sobre eles, e um efeito que Aden almeja a muito tempo. Silencia-las.   

O primeiro encontro de Aden e Mary Ann faz o garoto quer de vez ficar ao lado dela, Mary Ann não é a garota da visão de Elijah mas faz Aden se sentir bem e dono do próprio corpo. E estranhamente Aden tem vontade de abraça-la como se a conhecesse desde muito tempo atrás. Com esse estranho encontro o garoto resolve fazer de tudo para ficar ao lado dela por máximo de tempo possível, Aden bola um plano que seus amigos aceitam por querem o bem do menino e acreditarem na teoria de Mary Ann pode ajuda-lo a tira-los da cabeça dele. Aden se matricula em uma escola, na mesma escola que Mary Ann, infelizmente um dos "Imundos" ,como ele costuma chamar os garotos do rancho, vai estar dividindo o ambiente escolar com ele. 

    E estranhamente no mesmo momento que os dois garotos entram na escola Mary Ann começa a ser perturbada, seguida e ameaçada por um estranho lobo gigante que parece aparecer só para ela. O que a faça suspeitar de ambos, mesmo que estranhamente Mary Ann se sinta atraída a dar um abraço em Aden toda vez que o vê, ela sente como se o garoto fosse um irmão a muito tempo perdido que finalmente tinha voltado. Até que ela é salva por Aden do lobo, então ele também podia vê-lo! E mais que isso Aden possuiu o lobo para protege-la. Depois de uma luta árdua com o Lobo o garoto começa a suspeitar do Imundo que agora é quase um amigo para ele. Mas ele não tem nem tempo de pensar nisso antes de encontrar, ou melhor ser encontrado pela garota das visões. Que se diz ser nada mais nada mesmos que uma princesa vampira, simplesmente a filha do próprio Drácula, Victória é a garota por quem Aden vai se apaixonar e morrer por ela. Enquanto isso o Lobo volta a encontrar Mary Ann e é ela quem descobre que o Imundo e o Lobo são pessoas diferentes, o recém apelidado Lobinho, é conquistado por Mary Ann e acaba virando um pet da menina (risos) sério de lobo mal a cachorrinho de bolsa em poucas páginas, e logo ele se mostra em sua forma humana e se apresenta, esse foi meu crush do livro Riley. E com esse quarteto formado o desvendamento desse mundo magico e novo para Aden e Mary Ann começa, muitos seres mágicos estão sendo atraídos para Aden e pretendem usar o menino para seu bem o acabar com ele.

    Eis minhas reclamações, as coisas se resolvem rápido de mais, Aden é um personagem morno, parece ter uma personalidade inacabada seria facilmente um dos meus queridinhos só pelos traumas de infância mas o querido é muito sonso, ele fica terrivelmente apaixonado e bobo por Victoria, em um simples respirar da menina, e Lobinho, que tinha tudo para ser o bad boy do livro acaba se rendendo em um virar de paginas a Mary Ann, quase que perde totalmente o charme, ele conseguiu manter um pouco da personalidade marrenta mas mesmo assim de um personagem top ele virou um personagem requentado, Victória é outra, tadinha parece que só a colocaram no livro pra Aden ter uma desculpa para sair e entrar do Rancho a hora que quiser, a é e ter um ex asqueroso e criminoso em muitos sentidos. Aliás Gena parece odiar ex namorados (risos) todos os que apareceram foram o auge do nojo.

    Gostei do livro? Sim. Foi uma delícia passar duas tardes inteiras o lendo freneticamente (risos). Chorei lendo? Sim. Tem uma cena em específico que eu chorei horrores, senti que tinha perdido um amigo ali na hora, por que eu consegui me colocar no lugar do Aden e sei que aquela foi uma perda terrível para o menino. Mas não sei se vou encarar mais dois livros com essa turma. Os casais foram previsíveis demais para o meu gosto, Gena até tentou botar um clima de dúvida, mas não deu certo. E muitas das grande propostas de plot twist da história eu já tinha matado nos primeiros capítulos ( um deles foi o que me fez chorar, risos).  É um universo com muito potencial eu adorei o conhece-lo, mas foi mal aproveitado, Aden podia ter sido melhor isso o faria um dos meus queridinhos fácil, Victória não precisava ter sido só uma chave mágica, Mary Ann quase se salva e vira minha queridinha se também não resolvesse as coisas com uma facilidade quase magica, em segundos ela sai de um choro copioso para pensar na solução magica para o problema, e por fim Riley que foi um desperdício, um personagem que começou tão bom perdeu toda a pose de durão em segundos ao lado da menina. 

    "Interligados - Aden Stone e a Batalha Contra as Sombras", com toda certeza ganhou o direito de estar na minha estante física de livros lidos e é uma recomendação pra uma leitura de sessão da tarde, é um livro que dá vontade de ler, você vê os problemas dele, mas toda hora aprece uma coisinha que te faz continuar virando as paginas continuamente. Se você ainda não leu é a minha recomendação de leitura de aventura adolescente cheio de referências mágicas e paranormais.

Our Lips Are Sealed Part 2

“You’re just not you, we’re worried.”

[movie-titlecards]

The Unseen (2016)

My rating: 4/10

I mean, turning invisibility into, essentially, a highly embarrassing rash is certainly A Choice, but even without that this didn't do a whole lot for me - just your average indie melodrama, with all the pacing issues and slightly dodgy writing this implies.

Spaniards and Portuguese in India and the Malay Archipelago, 1498-1580.

“Historical atlas”, William Shepherd, University of London Press, 3rd ed. 1924

by cartesdhistoire

Muslim merchants from Gujarat, based in Cambay, dominated maritime trade in the Indian Ocean in the 15th century, supported by Hindu and Jain financiers and an organized network of correspondents. The Malabar coast, a major pepper supplier, served as a hub for commercial interactions between Arab merchants from the Gulf of Aden or Oman and Chinese merchants – or their intermediaries – from Sumatra and Malacca. Muslim merchants primarily engaged in the spice trade.

The arrival of Vasco da Gama in Calicut in 1498 disrupted this system. In 1502, King Manuel entrusted him with commanding a second expedition aimed at eliminating all Muslim presence in the Indian Ocean. The Sultans of Gujarat and the Deccan sought assistance from a Mamluk fleet to counter the Portuguese, but it was defeated before Diu in 1509, paving the way for Portuguese conquests of Goa in 1510, Malacca in 1511, Hormuz in 1515, Diu in 1535, and Daman in 1539.

The Portuguese occupied the southwest coast of Ceylon from 1505 to access cinnamon, establishing a fort in Colombo in 1518. They controlled the north, west, and south coasts of the island, key areas for the cinnamon and precious stone trade.

The Moluccas were another target because the Banda Islands produced nutmeg, while Ternate and Tidore produced cloves. The Portuguese established privileged relations with the sultans of Ternate and Tidore, facilitating their settlement in Amboyna and Timor, despite the capture of Malacca from Sultan Mahmoud Shah.

The Portuguese monopoly endured until the emergence of the English East India Company and the Battle of Swally in 1612.

Meanwhile, Spain remained engaged in the spice race, aiming to connect America to the Moluccas and their spices. Following expeditions in 1525 (Loayza) and 1528 (Saavedra), Spain secured a definitive return route in 1565 (Urdaneta) and established settlements in the Philippines in 1571.

The 7 Stars and 7 Golden Lampstands of DNA......

The mystery of the seven stars that you saw in my right hand and of the seven golden lampstands is this: The seven stars are7 stars, lampstands and churches the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches. In the End Times, Saint John had prophesied the appearance of the "one like a son of man," who reveals what the seven stars and seven lampstands represent. (Revelation 1:14-20)

In the Gnostic biblical text, the Revelation of Saint John, we are told the truth of the seven stars by John, who clearly states that these stars are actually angels of the seven churches. The meaning of angel is a spiritual human being who is believed to act as an attendant, agent, or messenger of God. This angel would be an actual person in the flesh.

The seven churches do not represent actual buildings, but the Body of Christ who are represented by the DNA of people or groups (tribes) of people. The word "Church" comes from the Greek "ku-ri-a-kos" or "ku-ri-a-kon" that had later morphed into an Old English word "cirice (kirche or Kee-ree-ke) and in Scotland, it was "kirk." These words would eventually evolve into the modern English "church." (1) The Greek Ku-ri-a-kos is derived from its root: "Ku- ri-os," which means "lord." Thus, the Greek "kuriakos", that today in English is pronounced church, is something that "pertains to, or belongs to, a lord."

John then tells us that the seven lampstands are the seven churches and the big question is, "What does he mean by seven lampstands?" The golden lampstands remind me of the alchemical substance said to be capable of turning base metals (lead, for example) into the living gold of the philosophers. A substance we know of today in myth as the Philosopher’s Stone; that in reality is the fire of life, but this stone in science is called Phosphorus or in the occult and bible, Lucifer or the Morning Star. It is simply the Alpha and Omega of all chemical energies, including that of our very own DNA!

Phosphorus is commonly found in inorganic phosphate rocks and phosphate is the body’s source of chemical energy. The phosphorus atom is of the nitrogen family, but having that characteristic of firing. Phosphorus is the philosopher’s stone that is the central symbol of alchemy, symbolizing the light within our DNA and in nature, and it is the least abundant element cosmically relative to its presence in biology," says Matthew Pasek of the University of South Florida. Without phosphorus, there would be no thought or wisdom. This is the atom that fires our blood to produce chemical energy, consciousness, creativity and life.

The Lord in most ancient times was known by various names such as Marduk to the Sumerians, Aten or Aden to the Assyrians, Osiris to the Egyptians, Zeus to the Greeks, Saint Peter to the Catholics, Yahweh and now Adoni to the Hebrews. The Lord we know of today is actually the largest gas planet in our solar system, Jupiter.

In the bible, Jupiter becomes Japheth which means Jupiter, who is called one of the sons of Noah in the Abrahamic tradition and was the father of all the Indo-European people. Both the early Irish Celts and the early Britons traced the descent of their royal houses from Japheth, as did also the early Saxons who corrupted his name to Sceaf,–pr. ‘sheaf’ or ‘shaif’ (see chapter 7). (Refs: 1DB 2:802. NBD 599. JA 1.vi.1. P 1:26). In Acts 14:12, Barnabas a Levite who is from the Tribe of Levi in which they called Zeus (Jupiter), and Paul they called Hermes because he was the chief speaker.

The number 7 is often called the holy number, the prophetic number, or the mystical number. One of the clues as to why this number is so special, is because we humans who have 7 body parts, Seven DNA Polymerase Families, and with our 7 senses, are the SO BELOW of the AS ABOVE. The AS ABOVE which correspond to the SO BELOW in us humans, are the 7 planets with their elements and gasses in our solar system. We are the microcosm of the macrocosm, in which everything is number and all is energy or should I say, chemical energy?

The earliest reference to the number 7 to DNA and the cloning of humans can be accredited to the Sumerian creation myth and flood myth found on a tablet excavated in Nippur. It is dated approximately 1600 BC during the first Babylonian dynasty. In the Sumerian text, the planet Jupiter represented by the Babylonian God Marduk (Merodach, Amar-uduk, and Marudulc) battles Venus the evil Goddess Tiamat who takes the form of a gigantic snake. Marduk (Jupiter) then goes to battle, ultimately defeating her. For his victory against the planet Venus, AKA Tiamat, the king of the planets, Jupiter, AKA Marduk is made the King of the Gods.

After Marduk (Jupiter) triumphed over Tiamat (Venus), he divided her corpse into two sections, the upper half becoming the sky and the lower half, the earth. Marduk then creates humanity from his blood and bone. This is key in understanding the number 7 because of the Seven DNA Polymerase Families that can be further subdivided into seven different families: A, B, C, D, X, Y, and RT. DNA polymerases are widely used in molecular biology laboratories, notably for the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), DNA sequencing, and molecular cloning. Yes, the seven in DNA that was used in the cloning of the human race!

DNA polymerases from all kingdoms of life have historically been organized into seven distinct families based on phylogenetic relationships. These 7 DNA Polymerase Families may very well be the seven lampstands that Saint John had written about that resides in our very DNA.

This makes perfect biblical sense because my angelic Revelations above details the science behind what Saint John had meant by the seven angels, the seven churches, and now the seven lampstands- which we can connect to DNA and in which the gold would be Phosphorus, which as a phosphate is a component of DNA, RNA, ATP, and also the phospholipids that form all cell membranes. Humans obtain their energy through phosphorus that is extracted from foods ingested into the body by converting it to the chemical energy that is then stored within the body. It makes up 1% of our total body weight and is present in every cell of the body; most of the phosphorus in the body is found (85%) in bones and teeth.

The ancient Sumerian allegorical stories in stone were not just talking about the planets and Gods they worshiped, but also the creation of the current human race that was created by the "blood and bone" of the Babylonian God named Marduk in mythology, but whose name in reality, truth and science is simply the planet Jupiter.

As I stated above, phosphorus is present in every cell of the body; most of the phosphorus in the body is found (85%) in bones and teeth. Could it be that the Sumerians were informing us that we come from, or our chemical energy in our DNA is from the planet Jupiter? I believe that My alien, Jupiter, and the Seven DNA Polymerase Families theory will start to become more apparent to you as you read more of my blog or past articles that I have written on the planet Jupiter.

The Future of the Race of Jupiter and Other Races

Many people today are operating on only the 5 basic physical senses of sight, hearing, taste, smell, and touch. The problem that we have if we only use these 5 basic senses, is that we are not being our true selves by not fully utilizing all the 7 senses, which we can tap in order to be fully conscious as a a true human being. These other two major sense are our minds for thinking, and our blood or DNA for Gnosis or intuition.

The human body has seven body parts and there are seven planets in our solar system. In astrology, parts of the body are ruled by the signs and planets. Hermes had written that there are seven holes in the head of an animal, distributed to the seven planets. There are seven days in creation, seven spirits before the throne of God, and seven days in the week. Monday for the Moon, Tuesday for Mars, Wednesday for Mercury, Thursday for Jupiter, Friday for Venus, Saturday for Saturn and Sunday for the sun who rules over the brain and heart.

In addition to the senses not being fully employed, many people are simply using only 6 of their 7 body parts in the 6th Age. The most important part is our 7th member, which is the head that contains the mind, and which many people simply are not using correctly or at all. Hence, a fully functioning human who has full control of their 7 body parts, including their head and mind, can then possibly activate all 7 forms or modes of perception to become a true Jedi or Gnostic Warrior.

As I have said in my previous articles on 666, this is the 6th Age in which man was created on the 6th day of Saturn and his number is 666. We fall short of the perfect number 7, which is Sunday that is represented by the sun who rules over our brains and hearts, because Christ which represents our true divinity was crucified at Golgotha (the place of the skull). Those who do not start using that 6th sense of their minds and developing their 7th sense of DNA activation via Gnosis will simply not evolve or ascend to the 7th Age.

[chasindtrevelyan]

Max is thirteen when news of a Blight spreading across Fereldan reaches Ostwick…along with a number of refugees who’d fled for their lives. While rumor had it that Kirkwall was the harbor for most refugees, it didn’t mean the other city states didn’t see their own stragglers. For the most part, the people of Ostwick were tolerant of the newcomers, so long as they were willing to work and whether it be on the farms or as servants at the noble houses, or wherever they could apply their skills. Not all of them were agreeable, some turned to banditry, others turned to living on the outskirts of society and begging for scraps.

Max himself knew little of them, only that they were strangers to their lands, and that he should treat them with kindness, but also with caution. He thought little of it, going about his days the same as he ever had.

However, there came a day when the whispers in the halls turned into a panicked meeting. Pockets of blight had been discovered and ghouls spotted roaming about the woods nearby. A search party was formed, and though he was young, Max was allowed to join on the promise that he remained with his brother. Aden was only two years older, but he was bigger and stronger and had more formal training and so it was deemed that Max would be safe enough in his company. The brothers were not about to complain, and off they went to search in the direction they were ordered.

For hours they combed the woods, but as time passed they began to suspect that they’d been sent in the least dangerous direction. Still, they kept looking…even as they began goofing around and acting the way young boys tend to when not being monitored. Their fun was interrupted when Max slipped and went tumbling down a hole, Aden jumping down after him to check that he was alright. Beyond some dirty scratches, all was well, and they turned their attention to getting back out. The lip of the hole was just beyond reach, and what roots stuck out from the ground proved too weak to be used as a means to pull themselves up.

There was a cave several meters further in, which they considered as another possible exit, but with no clear idea where it might lead other options had to be considered first. They were discussing the possibility of Aden boosting Max out of the hole and going for help when they heard it. A shuffling noise, followed by a low groan. Turning, they both froze.

A ghoul.

It appeared to be a woman in a dirty, tattered dress, but her face was clearly disfigured by blight, her eyes milky and dead looking. They’d been told what to look for, and she certainly fit the bill. More shuffling from deeper into the gloom of the cave told them that she was not alone. They couldn’t stay here. They had to get out.

Aden crouched, hands cupped in front of him.

“Get over here!”

Max didn’t try to argue, he went, bracing a foot in his brothers hands and reaching for the lip of the hole as he was hefted upwards. He dug his fingers into the dirt and stone and clawed his way forward until he could stumble to his feet. He twisted back around, reaching down, but Aden shook his head.

“I’m too heavy, you’ll just be pulled back in. Go find father and the others!”

He wanted to argue, to beg, but he knew better. Aden was right, and the only way to save him was to find more people. He scrambled to his feet, and took off in the direction he knew the others had gone, yelling for help as he went. Adrenaline and fear replaced fatigue, and he ran even as his legs began to ache and his lungs began to burn. He didn’t know how far he went before he found the others, but he all but knocked his father over as he stumbled into him. His concern was plain, but Max had no air to explain, so he simply yanked on his fathers arm and pulled him back the way he’d come, gasping Aden’s name only once.

It was enough, his father remounted his horse, hauling Max up behind him and he and the others set off in the direction the youngest Trevelyan indicated. He was not allowed near the hole once they reached it, held in place by one of the soldiers as a precaution while his father and another soldier reached the lip and reached down, hauling Aden up only moments later. He was alive, if a bit bloody, and though it clearly pained his father to do it, he ordered everyone to keep a distance as they escorted the boys back home. Another contingent would be sent out to deal with the remaining ghouls.

Once they arrived, Aden was whisked away out of sight and Max was led to a separate room to be checked over. When it was clear he was unhurt, he was sent to his room with strict instructions to eat something and get some sleep. Wearily, he agreed, though his sleep was fitful and broken up by nightmares. When morning came and Aden was still nowhere to be seen, he went looking for his father and was told that Aden had been quarantined in the infirmary until further notice. Until they could be certain he had not been infected with the Blight, they could risk no others going near him.

Max’s protests fell on deaf ears, and when he refused to relent, he was ordered back to his room. He opened his mouth to argue further, but a sharp smack had him closing it and spinning on his heal to leave the room. Message received.

Unfortunately for his father, he seemed to have forgotten that Max was not one to listen to rules when it came to his closest sibling. Once out of sight, he made his way to the halls used primarily by the servants, one of which contained a back door to the infirmary. To their credit, the door was locked, but Max knew how to get into places he shouldn’t and he had the lock undone in a matter of minutes and he slipped inside the room after making sure it really was deserted. He could see Aden sitting next to the window and he darted in his direction without a moment’s hesitation.

It was foolish and reckless. Aden could be tainted, and by exposing himself, he very well could become so too if that were the case. But he didn’t care. If Aden was tainted, they would leave him hear until he died, and then deal with his body afterwards and Max refused to let that happen. If Aden was tainted, he would not let his brother die alone.

Aden was, understandably, furious with him. Yelling all manner of things about how much of an idiot he was being, things he knew their father was likely to parrot later should they both survive this ordeal. But eventually he ran out of steam, and though clearly still angry, he did not turn Max away when he tucked himself against his side.

He would stay, for better or worse, he would stay.

NOTP(s): Peter

Jimmy Brooks:

OTP: Jimmy/Hazel

BROTP(s): Spinner, Craig, Marco, Ellie (even though I also ship them)

NOTP(s): Jimmy/Ashley, especially when they got back together in season 5 because it always came across as so bland and like they were both settling

Terri MacGregor:

OTP: Spinner/Terri

BROTP(s): Hazel, Paige, Spinner, Jimmy

NOTP(s): Terri/Rick

Ashley Kerwin:

OTP: Craig/Ashley

BROTP(s): Ellie, Paige, Liberty (but I'd consider that more of a mentor/mentee thing than an actual friendship)

NOTP(s): Jimmy/Ashley & Ashley/Alistair because I'm petty

Liberty Van Zandt:

OTP: JT/Liberty

BROTP(s): Manny, Toby (I have mixed feelings but overall I like their friendship in later seasons), Emma (season 6+), Ashley

NOTP(s): romantic Toby/Liberty

Manny Santos:

OTP: Jay/Manny

BROTP(s): Emma, Darcy, Liberty, JT, Marco, Toby, Alex (it's not real but I desperately want it to be)

NOTP(s): Manny/anyone but Jay honestly. Mick and Sully obviously, but also Craig after season 3

Toby Isaacs:

OTP: Toby/Kendra

BROTP(s): JT, Liberty, Manny, Emma, Jimmy

NOTP(s): romantic Toby/Liberty

JT Yorke:

OTP: JT/Liberty

NOTP(s): Spinner/Manny

Paige Michalchuk:

OTP: Spinner/Paige

BROTP(s): Hazel, Marco, Ashley, Terri, Spinner (when they aren't involved), Alex (I hate saying this, but I preferred them as friends and didn't think Paige was the best girlfriend to Alex), JT

NOTP(s): Paige/anyone except Spinner or Alex because they were all terrible. Matt was a predator. Jesse seemed to exclusively date barely legal freshmen. Griffin essentially re-raped her.

Sean Cameron:

OTP: Sean/Ellie

BROTP(s): Craig, Jay, Alex (even though practically nothing was done with it), JT, Snake, low key the Take on Me detention bunch even though it was never followed up on

NOTP(s): Sean/Amy

NOTP(s): Snake/Ms. Hatzilakos

OTP: Jimmy/Hazel

BROTP(s): Paige, Terri, Take on Me detention bunch, Spinner, Alex

NOTP(s): Hazel/Marco, I guess

Marco Del Rossi:

OTP: Marco/Dylan

BROTP(s): Ellie, Paige, Spinner, Craig, Jimmy, Alex, Manny

NOTP(s): I don't care enough about Marco's other canon pairings to be against them, but Marco/Eric because it just seemed like Marco was desperate not to be alone in that relationship and only got with Eric because they were both gay

Caitlin Ryan:

OTP: Joey/Caitlin

BROTP(s): Spike, Lucy, Susie, Maya, Snake, Ellie until the writers ruined it for fucking Jesse

NOTP(s): Caitlin/Kevin Smith 🤮 & Caitlin/her old fiance

Spike Nelson:

OTP: Snake/Spike

BROTP(s): Riley, if I have to pick one but his actual BFF is his mother who keeps getting him out of legal trouble

NOTP(s): Peter/Darcy

Mia Jones:

NOTP(s): Danny/Leia, but I don't really care

Derek Haig:

OTP: N/A

BROTP(s): N/A; I'd say Bruce, but they weren't even fun together.

NOTP(s): Derek/any girl he expressed interest in

Damian Hayes:

OTP: Damian/Liberty if the show had bothered to develop them and hadn't paired Damian with Emma first as if all three of his love interests were interchangeable

BROTP(s): N/A because he didn't have any friends and wasn't interesting enough for me to come up with any suggestions

NOTP(s): Damian/Emma

Clare Edwards:

NOTP(s): Sav/Anya & Sav/Ms. Oh

Anya MacPherson:

OTP: N/A, but Anya/Wesley or Anya/Fiona if they happened

NOTP(s): Anya/all of her canon love interests, but Anya and Owen was somehow her worst pairing

Riley Stavros:

OTP: Riley/Zane

BROTP(s): Anya, Peter, anyone else because the writers rarely let him talk to anyone besides Anya or Zane

NOTP(s): Riley/any woman

Chantay Black:

OTP: Danny/Chantay

BROTP(s): Anya, Jenna, Sav

NOTP(s): N/A, but Chantay/Bruce if we were supposed to think they were a thing

Leia Chang:

OTP: N/A

BROTP(s): Anya

NOTP(s): Danny/Leia but again, I don't really care

Johnny DiMarco:

OTP: N/A, but I guess his college girlfriend

BROTP(s): Bruce only because of season 9

NOTP(s): Johnny/Alli

Bruce the Moose:

OTP: N/A

BROTP(s): Johnny because of season 9

Kelly Ashoona:

OTP: Kelly/Liberty

BROTP(s): Liberty, Manny

Wesley Betenkamp:

OTP: Wesley/Hannah

BROTP(s): Connor, Dave, Anya

NOTP(s): N/A

Zane Park:

OTP: Riley/Zane

BROTP(s): Anya & the same answer as Riley - anyone, because Zane does not exist when Riley isn't in an episode

NOTP(s): N/A

Eli Goldsworthy:

OTP: N/A, but Eli/Lenore was probably his most tolerable relationship

BROTP(s): Fiona, Imogen, Adam, Sav, Dave

BROTP(s): Fitz, because that least makes sense even though they probably wouldn't realistically run in the same circle

NOTP(s): Owen/Anya, but Owen/anyone

Jake Martin:

OTP: Jake/Clare

BROTP(s): Mo, Jenna, Marisol, Zig because they'll probably be related by marriage someday which is sad for Jake, Imogen

OTP: N/A because I don't trust her in relationships

BROTP(s): The Katie/Marisol friendship had its moments

NOTP(s): Drew/Katie & Jake/Katie

Mo Mashkour:

OTP: Mo/Marisol

BROTP(s): Jake, Whisperhug, Sav

NOTP(s): N/A

NOTP(s): Zig/Zoe & romantic Zig/Grace

Maya Matlin:

OTP: Zig/Maya

BROTP(s): Grace, Tori, Tiny, Zig when they're not dating, Goldi, Tristan (NC season 4), Zoe if only because of the potential, Shay, Saad, Jonah, Whisperhug

OTP: Adam/Becky

BROTP(s): Imogen, Jenna, Jack, Dallas, Drew (pre-relationship)

NOTP(s): Drew/Becky

Luke Baker:

OTP: N/A

BROTP(s): N/A, but his friendship with Dallas was interesting

NOTP(s): Luke/anyone

Miles Hollingsworth:

OTP: Tristan/Miles

BROTP(s): Zoe, Tristan (pre-relationship), Zig, Grace, Jonah, Frankie (sometimes)

Grace Cardinal:

OTP: Grace/Zoe

BROTP(s): Zoe, Maya, Tiny, Zig, Miles, Jonah, Goldi, Rasha, Tristan

NOTP(s): Grace/men, but overall Zig/Grace

OTP: N/A

BROTP(s): Frankie

NOTP(s): Hunter/Yael, but Hunter/anyone

Jack Jones:

OTP: Imogen/Jack

BROTP(s): Becky, Clare

NOTP(s): N/A

Shay Powers:

OTP: Tiny/Shay

BROTP(s): Frankie, Lola (NC season 4), Yael, Esme (it's dumb, but it makes sense in my head), Maya, Zig

BROTP(s): Yael, Frankie, Shay (NC season 4), Rasha, Grace

NOTP(s): Miles/Lola & Tiny/Lola

NOTP(s): Frankie/Jonah, but I don't think any of his relationships worked

OTP: Frankie/Esme

BROTP(s): Frankie, Shay, Rasha, honestly anyone barring Zig or Miles because Esme desperately needs friends since she either alienates people or they pre-judge her for unfair reasons

NOTP(s): Tristan/Vijay

Baaz Nahir:

OTP: Baaz/Yael even though Baaz is a disaster

BROTP(s): Yael, Saad (another in my head this would be good friendship)

NOTP(s): Baaz/Grace

OTP: Zoe/Rasha

BROTP(s): Goldi, Grace, Lola (I'm so pissed these two couldn't even form a friendship during Miles's three actor play because everything revolved around Mola), Winston

Wyl Lark | Identity: mlm | Media: Alphabet Squadron Trilogy

Wyl Lark was one of the members of the titular Alphabet Squadron, its A-Wing pilot. He was born on the isolated world of Polyneus, where he learned how to ride the flying sur-avka. He was one of the Hundred and Twenty best flyers his planet pledged to the Alliance. He fought in the Galactic Civil War, including at the Battle of Endor. After the Battle, his squadron was chased by the elite TIE fighter Shadow Wing through the Ordiol Cluster, where he was the only surviving member of his squadron. He, and Chass na Chadic, the other survivor, were recruited by Caern Aden to be part of his working group against Shadow Wing, which would become Alphabet Squadron.

After Yrica Quell was revealed to have lied about her role in Operation Cinder and the devastation of the New Republic’s forces, Wyl Lark found himself leading the surviving New Republic forces on Triothe in General Syndulla’s absence. Unsure of himself, he ended up growing into the role and under Syndulla’s new commission of the Deliverance he found himself promoted to Wing Commander. He commanded the ship’s starfighters as they continued to hunt Shadow Wing. The deaths on both sides of the war continued to weigh on him.

Wyl was extremely empathetic, something the war didn’t kill in him. During the chase through the Ordiol Cluster, he made contact with a Shadow Wing pilot just to see how they were handling it. He continued to feel guilty about all the killing he had to do and wondered how his counterparts in Shadow Wing were living their life. During a stand-off he broadcasted to Shadow Wing just to talk to the pilots about themselves. Eventually many of the pilots under his command joined in. He tried the same thing during the Battle of Jakku, encouraging Shadow Wing to walk away. Unable to force himself to fight, he recused himself from the battle and instead helped with evacuating the Deliverance when it was destroyed. 

After the war he represented Polyneus in the New Republic Senate. One of his works was the Reconciliation Project, where survivors and perpetrators of Operation Cinder and other Imperial atrocities could share messages. The trilogy contains references to a handful of relationships he or crushes he had on men, none of which ever worked out.

Ty Yorrick | Identity: bisexual | Media: The High Republic Phase I

Ty Yorrick was once a padawan of the Jedi Order, but left after her friend was possessed by a Dark Side artifact and she was forced to kill him. Over the course of the next decade, she became a monster hunter known as the “Saber for Hire”. Her worked with two droids, the dog-like astromech R0-VR and the fussy admin droid KL-03. She kept a level of distance from both droids, seeing them as tools and like her ship, not deigning to name them. Her relationship with KL-03 was constantly strained, with KL-03 always worrying about the state of their financials and chiding Ty whenever her altruistic instincts hurt their bottom line. Before the events of the Republic Fair on Valo, she used items known as verazeen stones to make decisions like whether to accept a job for her. On one job, she was tailed by a young Segredo named Drewen who appointed himself her apprentice, creating the eager youngster and jaded unwilling mentor buddy dynamic for the events of the Monster of Temple Peak comic miniseries. After the job, they separated, but the frame narrative of The Nameless Terror depicts him finding Ty and inserting himself back into her life.

She was present for the attack on the Republic Fair, having been brought to Valo on a bodyguard job. During that job, she flirted with her employer’s daughter, but knew she couldn’t actually pursue the relationship despite wanting to because of the woman’s position (being bisexual comes from authorial clarification). During the attack on the Fair, she fought alongside the Jedi Elazar Mann, using the Force to control and fight upon the back of a pair of draconic sanvals. Afterwards, since she was already involved, she joined the Jedi in their attack on the Nihil stronghold of Grizal.

O ye Anglo fleet in Aden:

may only sharks swim to your rescue, may no warmth find your frigid corpse, may worms dissolve your bones, and let the deep lice unlace your flesh

you havocless dogs, sic your own tail in a shrapnel-spiral down to the sea beneath the sea

there will be no dove to recall the flood, you are no Yonah, indeed no “Dove” to be delivered from the deep

you are a devil, indeed you are worse than a devil: you are Rome, and here is your ally Babylon

you are the Pharaoh and to your chariots the same

fire and smoke have sped safe your foe along

but the axle beneath you, the spine of the horse before you, the bow in your left and the arrow in your right hand

all your vain aborted plowshares an impotent, a broken, a shattered frozen frenzy under flood

you are not Goliath, you are not even the lion ere killed by pre-regnal runt, a David now yet un-belov’d

you are the stone drawn from the streambed, the stone he discards, o how you plunk threatless in the water

your weight is not fatal, your shape is not smooth, your flight, o certain to be untrue

splash, and sink, you Saxon, you unslung stone

by the gulf engulfed:

gape ever the jaws, mill ever the molars, grind ever the grit

does the leviathan, o ye damned,

you legion of swine, ever still unclean though the waters wash you

and wash you

and wash you

you pigs unmet with mercy, may you find only my curses, and the curses of my children, and of your own a disavowal, if ever a vow there could be retched for your rank, your faithless greed

so die, and free us finally from your shade, not indeed your shadow, for you are lower even than the close-casting lowness of a psalm-singing worm

he sings:

“no, for the shade of America is like a furrow in which there is a latrine, and the latrine is in a crater, and the crater is like a yawning void, darkened by the slick of an oil spill, located ever to the West, whose oil would surely choke, even without being touched by fire—shade upon shade!

“America chokes whoever it will with its smoke

“and America sets forth slavery for humanity

“for America has perfect ignorance of all things”

Your peace is war

and the war is peace which ends your peace

O ye Anglo fleet in Aden:

die.

The Ledan: Pt 2

Chapter One: Dragonstone

Part one here. Read this installment on AO3 here

Summary: Your House, the rulers of a small isle off of Essos, has a tradition of sending the heir to another land as a rite of passage   once they are comfortably of age. Your mother, in her time, went to   Winterfell to emissary with the Starks. Now it is your turn, and your mother has chosen your destination; King's Landing, with the House Targaryen.

Ship: Aemond Targaryen x nb!afab!Reader

CW: Microaggression, subtle transphobia? Daemon being boldly inquisitive

A/n:  If you can name the stone described in this chapter, or tell me what language the reader’s house name is taken from, you get a prize! lol. Also no Aemond this chapter, but he’ll be here in the next one! I like a slowburn, and I want the story to not only focus on the romantic plot.

Credit for linguistics here

As always, you do not have to be nonbinary to enjoy this story if you wish

---

Despite having grown up on an isle, and being fairly at ease with the small sailboats used to hop from isle to island to sandy bars found only at low tide, you decidedly did not enjoy the journey across the sea to Westeros on a true full size ship, and were glad of its nearing end. Your mother’s echoing words in your head did little to settle the unease in your gut.

“But no capital is free of its silent politics and scuttering rats. Nor is it free of pretty vipers in wait.”

A particularly ambitious splash of ocean water frees you from your concentration, and you wipe your face, spluttering lightly, as you turn from the edge and retreat to the safety of the leeward side.

“I’d thought you were seasick, my Ledan,” comes a voice approaching from near the mast. “What are ye doing above boards?”

You turn to face your guard. “Ser Aden,” you greet. “It helps to see the skyline after such a toss and turn night.”

Ser Aden was a man near ten years your senior, a guard under oath of your family for fifteen years past, and a personal favorite of your mother’s. His coal-dark beard is patchy, still silken in texture, though short and trim, and at sea he is still donned in his leather armor, the warm tone of it making his grey eyes all the more sharp and shining.

He nods, coming to lean against the railing with you. “Captain says we should make landfall at Dragonstone on the morrow. Then ‘tis but a short journey to King’s Landing. After a brief rest, should be only a week before our arrival.”

“Well, thank the Ancestors and the Others for that,” you sigh freely. “The open sea was starting to drive me mad.” You shoot a grin over at Ser Aden, who chuckles silently.

“You and I both. Come, let us get out of the Sun before midday arrives and turns us to roast meat.”

—

The next twenty four hours seems to drag, the only clue you have to exactly how imminent your arrival is coming in the form of a frenzied crew double, then triple checking, that the ship is in condition to be even seen by the two royals who will be hosting your first rest after sea.

Then, at last, you see land.

Dragonstone is just as had been described to you–a dark and rocky fortress on a dark and rocky island. Sharp imposing lines rising from craggy and rough land, like a well wrought mace resting upon a crushed enemy.

“My Ledan,” Ser Aden joined your side at the bow, much like the day before. “‘Tis time to disembark and meet the Princess and Prince.”

You nod, turning and adjusting the fabric of your overcoat. You swallow down the lump in your throat, nodding sharply once more. “Very well.”

As you reach the end of the–rather impressive–path from the beach to the castle, you spot two figures with shining white hair, clad in black, standing in wait. Beside the man are two boys, pale and dark haired, and behind the family are a small gaggle of servants and men in plate armor.

The man–Prince Daemon, you reminded yourself, looked you over with blatant curiosity. Quickly redirecting your glance, your eyes met Princess Rhaenyra, and immediately you bowed at the waist.

“Princess Rhaenyra, Prince Daemon, it is an honor to meet your Graces.” You straightened, and met her eyes again. You did not miss Prince Daemon’s raised brows and glance to the two boys at his side.

“It is an honor for my family to be chosen for the heir of Irrasser’s emissary journey,” she smile, eyes crinkling. “I remember your mother’s last visit when I was a girl at King’s Landing. My own mother carried a strong fondness for her.” Her smile turned wistful. “But come, you must be tired after your long journey. Let us welcome you into Dragonstone.”

The gaggle of servants quickly stepped in to help your own people into the castle, and you and your guard fell into step with Princess Rhaenyra and her men.

“The Lady Dail still speaks fondly of the late Queen Aemma. She was dearly sorry to hear of her passing.”

The halls inside are dark, and the steps of your group loud.

“I’m glad to hear their friendship was a lasting one. Tell me, Ledan Dail, would you care to eat? We are set to dine within an hour, if you would care to join us after seeing your rooms.”

You share a glance with Ser Aden, who nods.

“That would be excellent, your Grace,” you nod your head in deference. “I’m sure a meal at a solid table where the drinks are not at risk for rolling to the floor at any moment will be a welcome change.”

Prince Daemon chuckles at this, and Princess Rhaenyra lets out a small laugh as well. “Excellent. Our men will show you and yours to your rooms.”

Your rooms are spacious, but the closed stone walls feel foreign in their darkness. What harsh architecture, you think to yourself. I do hope King’s Landing isn’t so heavy if I’m spending years of my life there.

Servants bring a small amount of your clothes to your room, and after thanking and dismissing them, your own dressing servant sets about the business of bringing out options to dine in.

“What do you think of this place, Arla?” You ask her from your seat on the bed.

She pauses and looks at you, “It is quite… stark in comparison to home. But no less regal.”

You hum in agreement. “Very. I couldn’t have put it better myself.” You rise from the bed and approach. “Now, what options have we got to dress in for this afternoon?”

Arla helps you dress in finer cloth than your sea clothes, a black tunic of green embroidered leaves of plants from your home isle. She fixes your hair, pinning a simple jewel at the back, and helping you don a pendant–you are taken aback at the sight of it.

“This is my mother’s jewel!” You touch the pendant and look back at Arla standing over your seat. “How did this come here?”

Arla smiled, smoothing the clasp at the back of your neck. “She insisted we bring it and present it to you when we made land.”

There is a lump in your throat again as you look down at the black jewel, three crossing lines of silver moving across the cabochon set in white gold. “She does love her surprises,” you whisper, eyes warm and sight blurring.

Lunch is a warm and friendly affair, the children of Princess Rhaenyra’s first marriage are present, her sons with Daemon too young to sit at the table and eat the food served. You learn that Daemon has an additional two daughters, not present as they live with their grandmother and grandfather at Driftmark.

“A truly beautiful place,” Rhaenyra offers. “I understand that you are to sail straight to King’s Landing once you leave us, but if you can on your return voyage home, I would stop to see it.”

Conversation, inevitably, turns to your unique nature as the topic of your home is brought up.

“So, my… Ledan Dail,” Daemon begins after a comfortable lull in conversation, setting down his goblet and fixing your gaze. “Forgive the inquiry, but I understand your mother is the ruler of your home?”

“Yes, your grace.”

“And you are the heir.”

You nod, gesturing acknowledgement and encouraging him to continue with your cutlery.

“But you are meant to be neither man nor woman. I understand that some forgo their sex in pursuit of the spiritual,” he leans forward in his seat. “But if you are the heir, meant to then produce more heirs, how can you do both? Forgo your sex and then still produce?” He does not break his gaze as he takes another bite from his fork in hand.

Of course, you think wryly. The men of Westeros are intrusive just as my Par has said. You look down at your plate, selecting your words carefully.

“We do not mutilate our sex in pursuit of leaving it, your Grace, as I have heard done in other lands and faiths,” you begin, meeting his eyes as you continue, “We are considered, in my homeland, beyond our bodies regardless of the shape they take at our birth. Yes, it is related to the pursuit of the spiritual,” you acknowledge his reference to priestly castrations and other equally violent practices in lands you have not seen. “But we are not barred, especially in my House, from fulfilling our… other duties. We simply take on another side in our existence, as asked by the Other and the Ancestors.”

He leans back in his seat again. “How fascinating.” He bows his head slightly. “Thank you for enlightening me so.”

You do not miss Rhaenyra’s hard glance at his profile as she sips from her goblet.

—

“Allow me to apologize for my husband’s… inquiries yesterday,” Rhaenyra offers you as you walk with her. It is gray outside, and so you stay within the shelter of the hallways. “He is… his curiosity gets the better of him.”

You bow your head. “It is to be expected, Princess. I am a foreign thing from a foreign land. A ruling, or even future ruling, Ledan has not set foot in Westeros since the time of Aegon the Conqueror’s children, and shared memory is short. I expect to be a novelty to most, if not all.”

She inclines her head. “Tell me, Ledan, you seem to be well of age,” she looks at you, you nod. “And yet you are unbetrothed and unmarried? Do all of your people wait so long?”

You let out a gentle laugh. “No, your grace. Not all. As heir, I am not to wed until after my emissary is complete. One new duty at a time, our traditions say.”

She seems surprised. “They send you off as the sole heir with no heirs of your own? What if something were to happen at sea, or an injury or illness struck you?”

“Then they simply mourn and find a new ruler. If I were to die at sea,” you pause. “Then I was no true deserved Ledan.”

You continue in silence for a moment, footsteps echoing against stone.

“How strange we must seem to one another,” Rhaenyra’s soft voice breaks the silence. “Our land with our strict societal roles…”

“And mine with what must seem like the flaunting disregard of them,” you joke.

You both laugh. “Indeed,” says the princess, a mysterious twinkle in her eye, and your heart warms at what feels like the beginning of a friendship started by your own mothers.

Despite your short time in her home, Rhaenyra grasps your hands in farewell when it is time for you to leave.

“Know that you are welcome to visit at any time during your emissary in King’s Landing,” she repeats her offer a last time.

“Thank you, your Grace. And thank you a thousand times over once more for sending a message to my mother for me.”

Rhaenyra had offered to send a trusted messenger along with your ship's return to home, as the sailors would be unlikely to do the same job with the proper dedication. After your arrival in King’s Landing, your ship was to rest, restock, and begin the return journey, stopping at Dragonstone once more to pick up her messenger. You and your guards and servants would remain behind at your new home in King’s Landing, to await the ship’s return in three years time for your final voyage home.

“Think nothing of it,” she squeezed your hand. “I know I would want to hear from my child after such an important first journey alone, and be assured of their safety.”

You part, saying your final farewells, and board your ship for the last days of travel.

“Well,” you say to Ser Aden and Arla later. “If that is how wonderful the Princess is, I feel that we are in for a lovely three years with the rest of her family,” you grin, and toast your two most trusted.

It is after three days that you hear the call from the rigging.

“King’s Landing in sight! Make ready for the port!”
