I own nothing

A big thank you to my beta ,Tofu101 and to all the reviewers, and favorites and followers.

Raenera sat in her room. It was not a large room or a tiny room. The bed took most of the space in the room. House Arryn flags were on the walls. There was a small table that was by the windows which overlooked the sea. On the opposite wall was fireplace by it was a small bed. Her room was in the Tower of the Hand of the King. Her rich, dark, nearly black, chocolate curls hung loosely around her; framing her slight womanly figure that she had had for many moons now. She was to be ten and seven in two days and was a ward of The Hand of the King, Jon Arryn, who was like a father to her; treating her with respect and kindness and he did not hold her accountable for what her true father did. She knew she was the bastard child of "The Mad King", his blood evident in her purple-blue eyes. A well-kept secret, known only to a few. She was a daughter conceived from her mother was from a lesser house in the North whose name was Lilliyan and she had died shortly after giving birth during King Robert's rebellion and the rest of her family was either killed or spirited away or at least that was what Lord Varys told her.

Raenera rose from her seat at the end of the table giggling quietly at a small direwolf pup that played happily on her rug, her direwolf. She walked over to the windows, wearing an airy and flowing, teal-colored Southern gown; silver roses and birds were embroidered on the neckline of the gown and trailed around the belted area of her slim waist. The young woman stared at the setting sun, engrossed in her own thoughts. The pup barked drawing the attention of her mistress, who turned back to the light gray pup only to discover she was barking at feather that drifting in the light breeze.

"Starlight," Raenera gently exclaimed with laughter evident in her voice.

A knock sounded at her door. Raenera turned looking at the door.

"Come in," she said softly.
"Raena?" Jon Arryn asked slowly whilst opening the door.
"Yes, Father," Raenera answered bowing her head respect.
He came into her room shutting the door. The room was decorated eloquently; considering what she was. He sat down on the end of her bed. The direwolf pup and growled at him with her golden eyes glaring at him.
"Starlight" Raenera scolded.
The pup ran over to her pawing the bottom of her dress. Raenera lifted the pup into her arms, the pup kissed chin. Jon Arryn was shocked at the sight.
"Is that a direwolf?"
Raenera sat Starlight down by the fireplace in her little bed. Raenera walked closer to her father figure next to him join him on the edge of her bed.
"Lord Varys gave her to me as early name day present. He told me it is but part of my name day present and I will receive the rest on my name day. She is a reminder of where I came from; Fire and ice."
Jon moved closer to her placing his hand on her chin. She turned to look at him; her purple-blue eyes meeting his soft brown eyes. Her teeth tugged on her bottom lip before she looked down again.
"I would not trust him, Rae."
"I trust no one completely here except for you. You saved my life I owe you my trust. They are all playing a game I know that. A horrible game of thrones it is nothing more than a giant wheel with all fighting to be or stay on top. Besides, I trust Lord Varys more than I trust Baelish."
Jon Arryn pulled her into his chest hugging her on the bed. It was clear that she hated the game as much as he did. No matter how much she hated it she knew how to play it and play it well.
"Petyr is a friend of Lady Lysa" Jon Arryn reminded her.
"I know. He just…he just …makes me uncomfortable is all. Besides, your lady wife Lady Lysa does not like me much."
"I know that Raena I do. And I'm sorry you have never known a mother's love."
"I don't blame you it because of you I'm still alive."
Jon Arryn pulled away from her tilting her head up to look at him. He wore a soft smile and kissed the top of her head. She deserved more than she was given but never let destroy who she was. He smiled at her as she looked into his soft chocolate eyes.
"I just came from a meeting with the King. He heard my request to legitimize you. So I can see you married to a good knight or lord to get you away from this horrid place."
"What will be called? Varys told me I was legitimized once already. I was Princess Raenera Targaryen when the mad king was killed. I'm not still Lady Raenera Targaryen."
"You are, child, but the world cannot know that. You will be called Lady Raena Arryn when the king signs it; for now you to court and rest of Westeros, you are Lady Raena Stone."
Raenera looked at him in shock. She knew he cared for like a father does one daughter but she never dreamed that he would give her his name.
"You will give me your name," Raena asked in shock.
"I would; to see you far away from Kings Landing. And I would do so anyway I did raise you did I not."
"You did… You did father." Raenera said hugging him tightly.
