Your mother smiled. "Aegon, Viserys, and Jaehaerys." She replied.

Dammit Mom, have you ever heard about Tempting Fate?

---[X]The Realms Delight: The Princess Rhaenyra has come to you, to talk. And she did so in sign? Rolled:D100 => 100

Click to shrink...

Reward: Rhaenyra begins to understand the world around her, with a silent glimpse of something far beyond her knowledge.

But it has given her wisdom she would not gain for years. Sometimes, the world needs to be seen from a different perspective.

She thinks you're amazing, even if she did not say it to you.

Click to shrink...

Well, @Magoose your dice seem to be shipping Rhaenyra and Lucien just as hard as the shipped Viserys and Arianne...

But as I said before, I think that Rhaenyra is in much more need of a good friend than another suitor...

--[X]The Old King's Rewards: The old King is going to reward you, in public, before the great council and the claimants arrive. He wants to make the Whole realm know your deeds and that of Lord Stark and Daemon. Rolled: D100 => 92


Jaehaerys was standing at the door. "Rhaenyra." He said her name with firm authority. "Could you go back to your father? I wish to speak to Lucien. Alone."

She did as he asked before the Old King sat in his chair. He examined your eyes, before he looked away, almost in shame. "It is a shame that you had to kill at such a young age, because of me." He muttered. "I would have hoped that you would not be put into such a situation, or that Daemon could protect you from that horror."

He then placed a hand on your shoulder. "You've been through a lot, haven't you son?"

You nodded, and the Old King took a moment to do something. "I can't give your innocence back, and through your life, you will lose it more, because of the position you will be in. The position destiny has placed you in."

"But I can atone for mistakes I have made." He said. "Ask something of me, and I will reward you for it."

Click to shrink...

Well, it is also pretty awesome that we manage to see the Old King like this, and that he is lucid enough to patch things up with his grandson now that he is lucid

We'll just have to hope because she does not see a huge problem. In fact the only one who sees it as a problem, as you were doing your duty to kill for the state is your mother.

Even Daemon only wants you to accept that killing is going to be the reality of your life now. And learning how to deal with it will prevent you from being killed.

Click to shrink...

Well, he is not wrong... As a dragon rider, we will have to literally burn down armies and fortresses of our enemies... And OOC we kind of know that we will have to fight in the Dance.

 

[Krakenup]

Well rewards are up, time to evaluate

[]Lift the Exile on your Father, Daemon, and You: You want The Old King to lift your exile, and that on the people you love. And to do so publicly.

Click to shrink...

This one isn't even a question so locked in

[]Request for your family to become members of the Court, permanently (King's Landing): You want your family to be cared for, and that means they will be employed by the court. You want them in King's Landing so that they will be part of the group to keep you safe.

Click to shrink...

Tempting, as it shows our importance, but puts us in a viper pit of politics

[]Request for your family to become members of the Court, permanently (Dragon's Stone): You want your family to be cared for, and that means they will be employed by the court. You want them in Dragonstone. It's your home and their home, and you wish for them to not be involved in the politics and treachery of the capital.

Click to shrink...

Important positions on our home island, could be bad depending on who becomes heir.

[]Request your Father to be given an official position in the Royal Navy: You want your father to be officially recognized for his work. You heard rumors that he was working to dismantle the Slave Trade that was trying to spring up in Westeros. And he needed to be rewarded.

Click to shrink...

Valaar gets recognition and important position, angers corlys

[]Request that He gives your Father A New Ship: Your Father deserves a new ship. And he will get one.

Click to shrink...

Not good enough to consider in my opinion

[]Request that he Deals with the Cannibal: You want the Cannibal Dead. It needs to die!

Click to shrink...

Killing cannibal could massively help overcoming our trauma and silence

 

[Magoose]

Dammit Mom, have you ever heard about Tempting Fate?

Click to shrink...

Well at least we don't have two sisters named Rhaeynes and Visanya… then she would be tempting fate.

Well, @Magoose your dice seem to be shipping Rhaenyra and Lucien just as hard as the shipped Viserys and Arianne...

Click to shrink...

Let me tell you this:

She wants a friend. And she hopes you will be at kings landing so she can actually make you a proper friend.

But as I said before, I think that Rhaenyra is in much more need of a good friend than another suitor..

Click to shrink...

She wouldn't even consider you as a suitor in case you are wondering.

She's just a little girl right now, more interested In fun and dragon riding then marriage and politics.

Well, it is also pretty awesome that we manage to see the Old King like this, and that he is lucid enough to patch things up with his grandson now that he is lucid

Click to shrink...

He's been trying to keep himself sharp enough for the council, so he can die without plunging the west into civil war.

Well, he is not wrong... As a dragon rider, we will have to literally burn down armies and fortresses of our enemies... And OOC we kind of know that we will have to fight in the Dance

Click to shrink...

Dosent mean he isnt dismissive of our trauma and basically told us to find away to deal with it because we have to.

Yeah no need to worry about marriage when we are a young child. We can be the victorious childhood friend when we are older

 

[mrsean22]

Well shame about the Vale. Little extreme reaction to Lucien leaving but oh well.

Rhaenyra really liking Lucien. Her getting wiser is always good. And never hurts to be friends. Helps that they are basically cousins.

Jaehaerys making up his mistake. Lift exile is a ni brainer. The other one I'm not so sure. But does seem like Lucien is getting over hus trauma.

Glad to hear that... I hope that she doesn´t try to pull out our same stunt with Sylax though...

Fuck, I will avoid thinking about the implications of that from now on...

Click to shrink...

Well, he is not a psychologist and the closest thing that we have to therapists in ASOIAF would not be born for another 150 years...

So we will have to make it due with the means we have, at least Rhae and Daemon are trying to help...

[]Request that he Deals with the Cannibal: You want the Cannibal Dead. It needs to die!

Click to shrink...

I am kind of torn up on this one, on one hand it will help us a lot to deal with the Trauma, but on the other hand, we would be killing one of the last dragons in the world merely for being carnivorous (and Lucien made of meat)

 

[betnet12]

Not sure if these are the best choices, but since we already got/are-getting our reward we should talk to Stark/the-Northerners at least. Mend Fences with the Sea Snake? or at least try sounds good, lets not leave Alt-Father out of our choices and see if we can't talk with another dragon rider. For rewards, Cannibal due to Trauma and Exile so we can go home/befriend the Blacks.

My Vote:

[X] Plan Everyone Works Together, Talks Together?
-[X]Lift the Exile on your Father, Daemon, and You: You want The Old King to lift your exile, and that on the people you love. And to do so publicly.

-[X]The North Remembers: Lord Stark was there with many of his bannermen. And they wished to Drink with you, and to your health, and your stunt of bravery.

Let's get Lucien into the party, and dad a brand new commission.

 

[Gumiho]

People wanting Lucien to kill the Cannibal (right now!!!) are dumb.

Click to shrink...

First of all, the vote is for King Jaehaerys to deal with the Cannibal, not us. So check your facts before you accuse people of been dumb. Second, your votes need to be in plan format.

 

[Alexander Sturnn]

But as I said before, I think that Rhaenyra is in much more need of a good friend than another suitor...

Click to shrink...

And as I have said before, there is no reason we can't be both.

Well...the suitor part only eventually, of course. They both have a lot of growing up to do before they can even think about that. For now, best childhood friends is the Goal!

Well the problem is, if we continue down the path of being with her, there might be consequnces.

Doesn't matter if you are a courtier, a Dragon rider or other.

Some rumors you might want to avoid.

Jaehaerys making up his mistake. Lift exile is a ni brainer. The other one I'm not so sure. But does seem like Lucien is getting over hus trauma.

Click to shrink...

The Old King is doing his best to mend his bridges before he dies.

Believe me, I don't think that he wants to die thinking his entire family hates him.

Glad to hear that... I hope that she doesn´t try to pull out our same stunt with Sylax though...

Click to shrink...

No one would ever allow it. Even if she trained every day trying to get that kind of trust, she would not be able too.

Mostly because we Trauma bonded with the Grey Ghost, and that sort of stuff is much more apparent in the bond then taming another dragon.

Hatching and trauma bonds are really powerful for Dragons and humans.

Especially because she hasn't gotten to bond with Sylax as we have during the last two years.

Fuck, I will avoid thinking about the implications of that from now on...

Click to shrink...

Don't worry, we have Daemons daughters to have a harem with if we so desire.

After all, our religion encourages polygamy and we aren't a member of the faith. As well as the King doing some protections to prevent that shit.

Well, he is not a psychologist and the closest thing that we have to therapists in ASOIAF would not be born for another 150 years...

So we will have to make it due with the means we have, at least Rhae and Daemon are trying to help...

Click to shrink...

Well there are others, and they may appear, but they are far more mystic in their missions. and far less helpful.

I am kind of torn up on this one, on one hand it will help us a lot to deal with the Trauma, but on the other hand, we would be killing one of the last dragons in the world merely for being carnivorous (and Lucien made of meat)

The Cannibal eats eggs and Young Wild Dragons.

He is a threat to Dragonkind.

Here is the thing.

You will meet numerous potential women that can be your wife, or wives (including Daemon's twins)

And if do my job right (Hint I will), you will want to marry them all.

Click to shrink...

Well, that´s enough for me

Ok this plan is basically the same as @Alexander Sturnn but I am choosing to deal with the Cannibal now, basically, because it would help us a lot to recover our voice and because, well our father doesn´t really need our help right now (plus killing an Adult dragon seems much more difficult than it is to get a talented captain a promotion)

No, thats just my dice in general.

You know for a fact that if it were reversed, you would say that the dice are trying to make us a rival.

Well, that´s enough for me

Click to shrink...

Its not only true, but canon.

The smallfolk of Dragonstone called him the Cannibal because he would practice cannibalism, feasting on dead dragons, newborn dragons, and dragon eggs.[1]​ He was one of three completely wild dragons dwelling on Dragonstone, along with Sheepstealer and Grey Ghost.

Click to shrink...

So lets keep it real, he might gain a taste for other flesh soon, if things get strange enough.

 

[Magoose]

We interrupt this quest to offer an omake bounty: Two Omake prompts to give roll bonuses.

Valaar never knew his mother, only that there were Red Crabs when he was born, and when he was given up to his...Father, he had a Blanket of Claws. It wasn't until he was a man grown, that he realized that sometimes, it's better to forget the past, and forge ahead. That some people do not deserve to have the child they abandoned. It was why he was trying to hard to not allow his son to learn of his identidy. It might make him just like him.

Visanya Only had broken, distant memories of her past, before she was found by her parents, near the Dragonmounts Summit. But she knew Dragonstone burned brightly, and hotly, with energy that was not of this mortal world. And she knew when the volcano was plumbing, and the fires of the World were spewing fourth... That she dreamed of dragons.

 

[Magoose]

Meanwhile: With Valaar

Everything felt wrong, yet you could not place a finger on it. There was much in your mind that was swirling and whirling about that it was… incredible. There was something wrong like you were drunk and in dire need of sleep.

But you knew it wasn't poison, but it was like sweet slope or Milk of the Poppy, something seriously sweet and powerful, a poison that was trying to make you sleep.

Yet you remained awake, watching the line of men, your crew, parade forward and do roll call, to make sure everything was alright, that no one was left behind, and of course, see if you had any stowaways on board.

Yet you saw all the men chatting, wishing to be on the sea again so that it would be far less disciplined and controlled, but you saw the man shambling about. The man was lysine, with hair white as yours, but different. You recognized him, a lad from Pentos, who always had a quick laugh and a drink about him, wanting to work for passage to Volantis.

Yet you had told him he was going as far as Lys, and that he would do well to leave the ship before you went back to Dorne than to Dragonstone.

You walked over to the man, your men parting before he smiled. "What's wrong captain?" He sounded stressed, the smile forced as if he was not wishing to be seen. "Aren't we going to Westeros?"

You hadn't told anyone that. You didn't need to, the lads never discussed the route you ran with outsiders. "Aye." The lads saw the deliberate motion you made with your hands. An extra syllable and letter that was always in use, that only they knew.

"Danger." Every man became on edge.

"Well, aren't we going?" He asked.

You then spoke, your voice a signal for every man who had known you. "Valar Morghulis?"

The man looked at you. "Valar Dohaeris." At those words, the man's entire demeanor changed, and you barely dodged the knife strike.

A Faceless Man?!

You rolled backward, missing the barrage of throwing knives that were thrown, following you, as the man drew blades, and began to fight off the lads.

You stood up and looked at the only weapon you had. A single dagger, and walked over to the side, looking at a piece of rope. The assassin was toying with the lads, putting several cuts onto them before going towards the killing blow. The blade was not poisoned, at least not that you could see, or the lads would have been dropping like flies.

You quickly tied the blade to the dagger and whistled, the lads knowing a signal, and ducking.

The dagger sailed through the air, and in an instant, the blade entered the head of the Faceless man.

He didn't even see it coming… well rather he saw it fully, as the blade went through his eye.

You flicked the blade out, and the body dropped to the ground with a thud.

The Lads quickly stood up and looked at the body. One even kicked it. "Fuck me, the first time I've seen a faceless man fail?" He said. The lads then look at you. "Bloody good job captain."

If there was any man that would mutiny and kill you, you wanted to know them.

And Faceless men, you did not know.

You signed. "Set sail lads. We have to get home."

Hopefully, the Faceless men wouldn't try again.

AN: The Faceless man rolled a nat fucking 1. and that 83 was for Valaar dealing with him.

I have nothing else to say.

But Essos is not sending their best to kill our best.

Their sending incompetent idiots, poor blades men, and crappy merchants.
