(Third Person POV)
[Braavos]
Varos walked into the room where Gael and Maegor were sitting in, "We have a problem." He said seriously, "Gael...."
Maegor looked up at him, "What is it?"
"Your brother, Hugh...." He said, "He is not taking our armor and weapons.....he claims he can craft better ones for our men..."
"He was a smith...." Gael said, "I did not even consider that.....it could be useful..."
"Yes, but he's causing arguments with our men!" Varos said, "Go and reign him in."
"Tch...." Maegor said, "You do not command me, Varos. I will split your skull open if you even dare utter those words to me again."
"This is not the time for this shit, Maegor!" Varos said
Maegor stood up, "I will have you know...." He said seriously, "That I do not care if you were Mother's lover who could not give us another sibling, I will fucking kill you if you try to order me around. Unless you cannot fight back, then I will have no fun in fighting you....."
"Do not start anything, brother." Gael said, "Hugh will be handled, Varos...do not worry..."
Varos scowled, "Do not speak to me that way, Maegor." He said, "I may no longer be your Mother's lover....but she entrusted you brats to me....so in a way, I am responsible for you..."
"Hm...." Maegor said, "Begone."
Varos sighed and turned around, "I trust that your deal with the Sealord is solid, Gael." He said, "If you truly wish to wage war against the Targaryens.....we will need ships....."
"Not a full-frontal war...." Gael said, "More of a hostile takeover of dragons....I just want my own dragons....and to have Balerion.....they can keep the throne...."
"That will be much more difficult..." Varos said as he glanced at her, "You know that, right?"
Gael smirked, "I have everything planned out, Varos." She said, "Everything is accounted for....."
"Sending Hugh, however, is stupid." Varos said, "Either of you could go and claim a dragon....why him?"
Maegor scoffed, "I have no need for a fucking dragon." He said, "I want to cut men in half, that is all...."
"We want Vermithor." Gael said, "He is the fiercest of the unclaimed dragons....and having Erys try is too risky...his connections with many nobles with money is too important to lose him.....and this one? Well, he is stubborn....I myself will not try to claim anyone but Balerion....."
"So...he's a pawn...." Varos said
"Yes." Gael said, "In a way....if he does not work.....well, the other bastards.....Corlys's...."
"And if they succeed..." Varos faced her again, "What then? How will you guarantee their control?"
"I need not force to manipulate and control, Varos...you already know that...." Gael said, "Baelon Targaryen has acted exactly the way I have wanted him to.....what I want, I get....and if Hugh claims Vermithor and thinks he can be above us, oh he is sorely mistaken....."
"Do not underestimate this one, Varos." Maegor said, "She is a devil."
"That...." Varos sighed, "I know."
Suddenly, the doors opened again and a man ran burst through.
"D-Dragon!!!" he shouted loudly, "There is a Dragon in the skies!!"
Varos turned around, "What?!"
"B-Balerion!!" He shouted again, "It is the Black Dread!!!"
Maegor scowled, "What did you say?!" He shouted, "Baelon found us?!"
Gael seemed a bit surprised, "Oh..." she said, "How was that pos-Hm.....he had his own spies set up in Braavos....curses....I suppose calling the other bastards over must have fucked us over....."
Varos scowled at her, "You did not plan for this?!"
"Relax..." Gael stood up, "I have planned for this scenario, worry not.....I just never expected to be found out so early....and easily.....oh boy.....Maegor....call for Erys, you know what to do...."
Maegor scowled, "Let me fight him."
"No." Gael said as she patted his shoulder, "You are my last resort, you know....my fierce warrior...."
"Tch....!" Maegor said, "I will gather them, I suppose...but Erys should handle them."
"He will." Gael looked at Varos, "Varos, try to get our forces away. Baelon will not target the Braavosi unless he intends to spark a war with Essos."
"Let us get to work...."
*****************
Outside of Braavos, Balerion sat on a hill, letting out a vicious growl as some horses approached.
Baelon stood under him, donning his black armor as he held his helm under his arm, a serious look on his face.
The mere sight of The Black Dread in the sky above Braavos was enough to cause alarm to everyone, making them panic and wonder if they had invoked his wrath. But the Braavosi had send a rider, asking the Prince what the issue was and he had refused them, telling them to bring out the Dragonseeds who were hiding there.
It did not take long for Erys to ride out with a group of soldiers and some other women on the horses.
He reached the area in front of Balerion and stopped as the horses began to react nervously in the presence of the Black Dread.
Erys looked at Baelon who was staring at him with a serious expression, "Prince Baelon...." He said, "After months of searching, you have found us...."
Baelon had his hand on the handle of Blackfyre, tightening his grip on it, "Hm...." He said
Erys could not help but smirk, "What is it?" He said, "Are you still bitter about the whole flower thing? I am surprised that it worked for so long...."
"Shut up." Baelon said, "You know why I am here."
"I do." Erys said as he chuckled, "But before that, I know you have one question in mind..."
"You are correct." Baelon said, "Why did you not kill me? You had one chance and you ruined it...."
"It was my sister's idea...." Erys said, "I wanted to kill you.....but we did not....to send a message."
"And what message is that?" Baelon asked
Erys leaned forwards on the saddle of his horse, "That we can do whatever the fuck we want to you....." He said, "Whenever we want....that no matter how high you are in the sky atop Balerion, we have our claws deep in you..."
Baelon tilted his head, "You don't get another chance like that." He said with a vicious scowl, "You should know that."
"I do...." Erys said, "And I know that you will not kill me here...."
"And why is that?" Baelon raised his eyebrow
Erys snapped his fingers and the men atop the horses pulled the ones that had women atop the saddle, holding babes in their arms. They then stepped in front of Erys as the babes began to cry while the women looked down, tears in their eyes as Baelon saw that their hands were bound with rope.
Baelon narrowed his eyes, "What is this?"
"What do you think?" Erys said with a smirk, "Your bastards!!"
Baelon looked at the women, seeing that they were a bit different the ones he remembered, the ones from that night.
"You lie." Baelon said, "Those are not mine."
"Are you certain?" Erys leaned over and saw that the babes did not have white hair, "Ah! Haha! You are right....they are not....well, they are innocent, however.....will you burn them?"
Balerion growled deeply, the sound of it was enough to cause the horses to neigh loudly in fear.
"You cower behind a shield made of innocent flesh?" Baelon asked, "You are lower than scum...."
"Hm..." Erys said as another horse approached from behind, "Is that so?"
He then moved aside as the horse reached her, on it was Gael who was holding something in her arms wrapped in a blanket.
The moment that Baelon saw her, his eyes narrowed even further and his grip tightened. Balerion felt his emotions and responded by snarling viciously at the woman.
Gael, however, was staring at Balerion with nothing but awe.
"M-Magnificent...." She said softly, "The Black Dread.....Balerion....right before my eyes....he is beautiful....he is perfect..."
"Sister...." Erys said
Gael still stared at Balerion for a couple more seconds before snapping out of it and shaking her head slightly, looking at Baelon who was glaring at her.
"Oh?" She said with a slight smirk, "Hello, Baelon....do not tell me....you are bitter about what happened?"
"What the fuck do you think?" Baelon said
"I thought that you had enjoyed my pussy." Gael said tauntingly, "But I guess it would not have compared to the young little flowers who were your niece's age....or is she your daughter, that Aemma...."
Baelon's eye twitched, "What did you say?!"
"Oh, those girls were really young." Gael said, "Except for that YiTish one....the one that you have in your possession....by the way, you should return her to me.....she is not your property..."
Baelon glared at her, "I will do no such thing." He said, "She is not your property either...."
"Hm..." Gael smiled, "Is that so?"
"And you fucking....." Baelon said, "You monster...you had girls...you forced them on me?!"
"Well, I was also atop you, remember." Gael said with a chuckle, "I was the first one. Do you really think that I was going to let them enjoy your before myself? And then it was that YiTish girl, I figured she would appreciate me....."
"Silence." Baelon said, "Give me one good reason I should spare you at this moment...."
"Oh, you came to destroy us?" Gael said, "I mean, I suppose that you would cast away your honor and burn us, these innocent bastard children along with us....and they may not be yours....but what would you do if you found out one of them were?"
"Mine, huh?" He said, "Is that what you hope for? For me to think that one of them are mine?"
"Well...." Gael said as she moved the blankets in her arms out of the way, "This one sure is."
She exposed a babe in her arms, clinging onto her who squinted due to the sunlight. Baelon saw that it was a boy, white hair and purple eyes.
"What...." Baelon said with confusion, "W-Who is-"
"Yours, you fool.....well, ours...." Gael said, "Our own little boy.....our precious and pure Valyrian boy.....my perfect creation, my precious little one..."
"You..." Baelon said with anger
Gael smiled as she patted the boy's cheek, "You know what I named him? You will love this name....a bit repeated but appropriate for my intent...." She said,
"His name is Baelon...."
