291 A.C.

The Dragon's Hoard/Tyrosh

"The Young Dragon" Prince Viserys "Vissy" Targaryen

"Well cousin Jaenara, has it been done?" Viserys asked the woman sitting across from him. Part of him was still in disbelief that a descents of Aerion Brightflame and Rhae Targaryen were still existing. Daella Targaryen's descendants made up the current status of Houses Velaryon, Celtigar, and Tarth.

As for the descendants of Daeron the Drunken, they were last seen in Myr, according to the notes of Naela's previous spymaster and Faeria's predecessor.

Jaenara was the head of the wealthiest bank in Southern Essos, rivaling the iron bank of Braavos despite being younger and untested as far as extensive debts go. The Dragon's Hoard was its name, and its reach was so strong, that the Nobles of Lys and Myr were practically owned by The bank, essentially at Jaenara's beckoning call.

"Aye, it has. You now have the Company of the Rose, The Company of the Cat, The Windblown and The Golden Company will all fight for you and yours when you deem it necessary." His cousin said. "The fleet has also been completed as well."

"Considering their only other options were death or assimilation into the Valyrian army makes sense." Said Ser Oswell.

"Indeed it does,"

"What is your next course of action now, cousin?" Jaenara asked.

"The Ironborn are in a full swing rebellion against Robert," Viserys said. "While the Usurper is distracted with them on the west coast, we'll stage a surprise landing on the east coast, it may not be a success, but it'll at least let the remind the Lords of Westeros that House Targaryen still lives and is thriving and that we aren't done."

In the six years after going to Valyria, Naela resumed her place as the Dragon Emperor and started a string of campaigns across Essos as part of her own unification plans. With Valyrian legions, heavily advanced engines of war, a War Fleet of a thousand ships, war beasts like Elephants, Bears, Firewyrms as large as elephants, and of course, Dragons larger than that of The Black Dread himself, Naela started by bringing Volantis to heel first.

Volantis was always arrogant after Valyria's alleged fall, but upon seeing the amassing armies and Dragons flying overhead, the Triarchy didn't hesitate to open the gates to the Black Walls. Meeting with the Triarchs in person, Naela commanded them mobilize their own forces and fleets to take Myr, Lys, and Tyrosh, as well has giving them seven years to fizzle out the slave trade. When one Triarch protested, she reduced it to seven moons, and promise that if they failed to do so before time was up she would personally return and incinerate both sides of Volantis and all along The Great Bridge.

Volantene soldiers were shipped up the Rhoyne in a bid to create trade embargo between Northern and Southern Essos. Once that was done, a second wave of Valyrian legions went East to subdue the Ghiscari city states of Slaver's Bay, Qarth and secure the Jade Gates, with Naela's siblings Elliope and Balerion aiding by attacking from the East and the Valyrian legions attacking from the West.

As for Tolos and Elyria, both being heavily populated by Ghiscari nobility, all the nobles of Ghiscari descent were given the option of death or renouncing all ties to Harpy of Ghis in favor of The Dragon of Valyria as well as the Slaves being liberated. The Older and more traditional nobles chose death, Naela personally beheading them, to prove that she was not so tight that she was above doing her own killing. A sentiment that the Starks have in common with her. That, and because she was in this A cities when her armies took them. But unlike Volantis, Myr, Lys, Tyrosh, Slavers Bay and Qarth, Elyria and Tolos had to end the slave trade immediately, rather than have seven years to find a means of replacing it.

Through gile, Naela turned the Unsullied against the Good Masters of Astapor before liberating the slaves and reducing half the city to ashes.

Yunkai was still very much under siege to this day. Naela's generals wanted to hold-off using the dragons to burn the rooftops or poisoning the water supply. The firewyrms weren't an option either as they were being used to get traverse under Qarth's massive triple walls. So the plan was to holdout until Qarth was completely conquered.

Meereen fell within the first 8 days as the sight of dragons made the slaves panic and force the gates open, hoping to be spared death by dragonfire.

As for New Ghis, the island city was laid waste to like its predecessor in Old Ghis. Naela believed the slave trade would never true be abolished if the original Ghiscari nobility was still around.

Missives were sent all over Essos declaring Naela's Proclamation of Unification. Similar to Aegon's when he set out to conquer Westeros. Envoys sent to Ibb, Saath, Pentos, Braavos, Vaes Dothrak, Qohor, Norvos, Lorath, The Summer Isles, The Basilisk Isles, Naath, and Great Moraq. The missives detail how those who submit without a fight will know only peace freedom justice and security, outlawing the existence of sellswords and free companies. Only pardoning said sellswords and free companies on the condition that they'd disband and enlist in the ranks of the Valyrian army or they aid House Targaryen in reclaiming the iron throne.

The latter condition was told mostly in whispers to keep the usurper from finding out, despite the fact that the eunuch Varys and his friend the Cheesemonger Illyrio Mopatis are firmly Naela's creatures and they only tell Robert what Naela wants him to know. Reason being is that when Faeria returned with the bones of Rhaenys and Aegon, Naela reexamined them, only to learn that the bones of Aegon were the only real ones, meaning Rhaenys was still alive.

A moon's turn had passed since the revelation when they found Rhaenys in the manse of Illyrio Mopatis, along with an infant boy that he and the eunuch were planning to pass off as Aegon son of Rhaegar and Elia. In truth, he was one of the last Blackfyres of the female line.

As a precaution, Naela had Viserys and Rhaenys hastily married as to keep the unworthy lords from having her and to stop the Martells from trying anything either. Viserys was seven and Rhaenys had just turned five. They'd consummate the marriage when Rhaenys reached her 15th nameday. Their children stood to inherit Sunspear, should Doran and Oberyn give Naela the necessary justification to remove them and their children.

Rather than kill the babe Aegon as Naela had ordered done to any other remaining Blackfyres upon her release from her vows, she decided that the conflict of Red and Black had to end. In spite of saying this, Aegon was taken as a ward and would be raised alongside Jon, Daenerys and Daemion in a bid to reconcile Targaryen and Blackfyre, even having Lucerys and Ashara agree to have their daughter Rhaella marry the Blackfyre when they both came of age. But. These acts were also a means of controlling Varys and Illyrio who had plan to seek out and recruit Jon Connington, Rhaegar's only living friend that wasn't of the kingsguard, to help aid in the deception of Aegon's false identity. Ser Richard Loumouth was also still alive but his wereabouts were a complete mystery.

Jaenara and Illyrio would then sign a contract writ in blood with the Captin General Myles Toyne, that the Golden Company, come Hell or High water, will fight tooth and nail to place House Targaryen back on the Iron Throne, destroy the Usurper Robert Baratheon and all whom support him. In exchange, the Knights of the Golden Company will be allowed to return to Westeros and may help themselves to the many castles and keeps of the Usurper's loyalists.

When Viserys reached his 14th nameday, Naela had granted him leave to travel to Tyrosh when she had learned of the rapid increase in exiled Targaryen loyalists flocking there. He originally had no desire to leave the others behind, but they were too young and he wanted to be amongst those that had fought bled and lost all for House Targaryen. Deep down, he felt as though he owed them this much at least.

As the men and women there bowed and gave their courtesies to him, Viserys was uneasy and feeling guilty as he knew that it was Jon whom these people should be doing this to, he may be a boy of seven, but he was still Rhaegar's only living son.

"Ser Oswell, might I ask you something? And please, speak true.."

"Of course, Your Grace," the Knights said.

"I'm little more than a usurper myself, aren't I?"

"I don't follow," Ser Oswell looked confused.

"I'm here calling myself King, when my brother has a living son. I love Jon with all my heart, so... It just doesn't feel right that I'm trying to sit the throne instead if him."

"Well, you know why Naela decided to pass over Prince Jon. She was under the impression that if his own Uncle in the Lord of Winterfell wouldn't support his claim why would anyone else?" Oswell exclaimed.

"I know why the situation is what it is now, but it's wrong. I go to bed at night and I feel like Bittersteel or Daemon or Aegon II and my namesakes Viserys I And Viserys II, they were all usurpers or would-be usurper's and I don't want to be that." Viserys was holding back tears then as this had been chewing away at him for sometime and could not find the courage to speak his mind.

"Your Grace, Naela took no joy in her decision either. She confessed that Eddard Stark's inability to be cooperative forced her hand." Ser Gerold said.

"When we return to Valyria, I'll abdicate in favor of Jon, it's only right thing to do. Naela wants me to be a True Dragon, and True Dragons aren't Usurpers..." Viserys declared.

"The ships are ready to leave when you are, Your Grace," Jon Connington announced to him.

"Very well then..." With sword in hand, Viserys climbed aboard, intent on making a statement to the realm.
