[X] Plan: Console Daemon and Gank the Mage

Let's see here, our stepmother is our cousin and she's half sister to the man who is our second father. Our brothers also count as our cousins. Pretty funny seeing Magoose keep the Targaryens family tradition of complicated family relationships.

LOL yeah. Visenya parents are Baelon and Viserra. Which means she is half siblings to Viserys and Daemon while being cousins to them and Lucien. Makes our brothers cousins to Rhaenyra and Daemons daughters.....Not even mentioning Lucien being second cousins and siblings to other family members. Kinda funny. :V

Yeah. Plenty of eggs and free dragons that are pretty big. Got to convince Viserys to allow Lucien siblings some eggs. Visenya now being half siblings to Viserys and Daemon might actually help?

Huh. Mom a child of Baelon and Viserra....That...well doesn't increase Lucien claim but our three brother's claim if legitimized be pretty decent. Assuming people like Daemon or Vaegon tell anyone. Does mean they got good chance of hatching dragon eggs.

Well the thing is, they most likely will gain a cadet name, as the three of them will have their own adventures or help us out when the time comes.

After all, we have the Stepstones coming soon. And the Vaelyrons might decide that things are now good to start pushing for their trading.

You don't know half of it.

True but they wouldn't have the Targaryen name because mom is a bastard. So they would basically be in Lucien position before he became a Targaryen prince but no dragon.....no dragons yet.

Well there are plenty of eggs that are in the works.

Plenty of Eggs that need to get hatched. And Rhaeyns isn't going to be doing all that work now.

Not yet.

After all, we might see a Targaryen Baby Boom.

And more Blood and Cheese-like incidents during the Dance.

Well, we can use our autority as Prince to just... go there and take a few, give them to our brothers and just say "Try it out."

That could work pretty well for Viserys. Making them a cadet branch could increase Viserys position. Especially if they get eggs that hatch.

Huh. That is a option. If it works would give Viserys faction more dragons. Rhaenys got three great dragons while Viserys got three great dragons and two baby dragons currently. Add in three more baby dragons it would sentiment Viserys position while Lucien family influence would increase.

Hmmm who is on Viserys Small Council? Otto as Hand and Corlys Master of Ships but who else? Was thinking about maybe doing a omake about Small Council omake from Otto's view. Not sure how good it would be though.

Ah, someone finally asked, mostly because you haven't had a chance to actually go and meet them.

Hand of the King: Otto Hightower
Master of Laws: Lyman Beesbury (Replacing Daemon after a short six-week Stay, where Daemon tried to put down a law that allowed, in certain cases, polygamy to be allowed in the royal family. That was shot down faster than Rhaenys over Dorne)
Lord Commander of the King's Guard: Rayman Redwyne
Master of Coin: Lynol Strong (Replaced Daemon after half a year of being it... Turns out Daemon was running a sting operation without Viserys Knowhow and lost tens of thousands of Dragons taking down a slaving ring in kings landing. He succeded, but failed to get back the money that was invested)
Master of Whispers: Post Vacant
Maester: Melos (Actually became Grand Maester early in this timeline, and he is still the same)
Master of Ships: Corlys Valyreon (Gained his post back as a peace offering from Viserys, and to prevent... problems from arising in the future.)


Other offices:
Lord Commander of the City Watch: Post Vacant (The officer was murdered after a riot, and Viserys hasn't filled it)
Cup Bearer: Rhaenyra
Master at Arms: Harrold Westerling (in addition to his duties as a King's Guardsmen
Executioner: Tom The Tailor (A Low born man who got really good at cutting people's heads off. Appointed by Daemon, but kept by Viserys)
Black Cells Warden: Ser Garlon (A Knight from the Reach, who was the jailor for Lord High Tower.)
Head of the Dragon Keepers: Ulrik the Certain (A Dragonkeeper since his youth, and he rose from the ranks as a child. Witnessed four dragon hatching in his life)
 
[X] Plan: Console Daemon and Gank the Mage
Let's stop the "Mother is Dead" Trope that even plagues ASoIaF
PS: ...okay I know our mother Gael has been dead from the beginning, but my point stands.
And in that regard, any chance we could comission a statue/monument in honour to her? We are pretty much destined to chance the world, might as well create an eternal memory of where we came from.

King Viserys Small Council Meeting
  • Sidestory
    • King Viserys Small Council Meeting

    Otto Hightower seated himself at the right of where King Viserys would sit. Though the king has yet to arrive. Which was understandable because Otto arrived early to gather his thoughts.

    Things were....to be honest with himself not well. The Reach and the Faith were causing problems to not only the King but house Hightower and its allies. The High Septon since the Great Council has been unhappy with things have been going in King Viserys reign. Princess Rhaenys passed over and now the Gods of old Valyria in the rise in the Crownlands.

    If Otto himself wasn't in Kingslanding he might of agreed with the High Septon on the Gods of old Valyria but he has been in Kingslanding as Hand. So he knows it can be managed but the High Septon currently won't listen to reason.

    Before he can get further into his thoughts the other Small Council members have arrived along with King Viserys. Otto stood from his seat to bow and said "Your Grace."

    King Viserys waved his hand at Otto. "None of that Otto. Don't need to get up from your seat everytime I walk into the Small Council chamber."

    "You are most generous, your Grace." Otto said while returning to his seat while watching everyone enter the chamber and seated themselves.

    King Viserys seated himself at the head of the table and then turned to Lord Strong. "So how is the Riverlands doing, Lord Strong?" From what Otto could tell Lord Strong been very loyal to the King. Been directly involved with the roads being built in the Riverlands which has made Lord Strong popular in the Riverlands along with the King.

    Lord Strong going through a few pieces of paper before speaking. "Things are going well, your Grace. With the roads in place Coin is flowing throughout the Riverlands. Which leads to the Crown."

    The King smiled. "That's excellent news!! Lord Beesbury how's the City Watch doing?" Lord Beesbury was one of the few Reach lords to support King Viserys claim at the Great Council along house Hightower. They gained much but also been having trouble with the Faith and other Reach houses. Which has made Otto and Lord Beesbury work together a good deal.

    "Still a bit disorganized since the last Lord Commander died, your Grace" Lord Beesbury said to the king while going through a few papers until he found the one he was looking for. "Been looking for a replacement but haven't completed the list of candidates yet but should be finished at the next Small Council meeting, your Grace."

    King Viserys nodded at Lord Beesbury. "That's good news. News from the North Grand Maester?" Grand Maester Mellos always a calming figure during Small Council meetings. Too neutral in Otto's opinion but he was loyal.

    Grand Maester handed a letter to King Viserys. "Lord Stark been reporting a possible King Beyond the Wall. Says the North can handle it alone if needed but would rather have support, your Grace."

    The King rubbed his chin in thought. Before he can speak the Small Council chamber doors opened. Princess Rhaenyra arriving late to the meeting. Not the first time and something the princess needs to work on Otto thought. The King smiled at seeing his daughter. "You are late Rhaenyra."

    Princess Rhaenyra smiled. "Sorry father. Need to change and clean up for my duties so I don't smell like dragon." The usual reason the princess is late. That checks out. That or spending time with his daughter Alicent but the princess always uses flying her dragon for why she is late.

    King Viserys laughs and then turns to his Small Council. " As for the North. I am inclined to send a dragon rider. Either my brother Daemon or my cousin Lucien." King Viserys didn't notice but Otto noticed the Princess frown when her name wasn't mentioned. Otto knew the king wouldn't send the princess on anything dangerous or risk angering his wife Queen Aemma.

    Otto spoke up. "If I may, your Grace. I would think Prince Daemon would do the job well. Though I'm not do sure Prince Daemon would allow Lucien to leave his side." Daemon has been trouble long he always been in Kingslanding. Losing the Master of Laws and Coin positions from easily prevented issues or trying to pass a ridiculous law. Luckily Prince Lucien been a calming influence. Otto can only imagine what Daemon would be like without Prince Lucien.

    Lords Corlys decided to speak up all the while grinning at Otto. "I believe Prince Lucien should go. Would be a way for the Prince to get experience. Though I believe Prince Daemon should stay in Kingslanding in case the Reach start causing problems, your Grace." Lord Corlys always been causing problems for Otto and his house. Usually going against most of Otto suggestions and in favor of actions that benefit house Velaryon.

    Otto glared at Lord Corlys but speaking calmly. "That could easily send the wrong message to the lords of the Reach and the Faith, Lord Corlys. We need to settle this peacefully or we might have blood spilled that could of easily been prevented." Not to mention house Hightower getting hurt during said show of force. Especially with Daemon the one doing said show of force.

    Lord Corlys laughed a little before speaking. "Maybe Lord Hightower and his allies wasn't failing said talks we wouldn't need to possibly show force, ser Otto." Not using his Hands title Otto noticed. Trying to get under his skin but it wouldn't work. Though Otto did see Lord Beesbury glaring at Lord Corlys realizing the implications to his own house.

    Otto was about to speak but the King beat him to it. "Enough!! I won't have petty fighting among my Small Council!!" Otto and Corlys glared at each other before bowing their head to the king. The King sighing before speaking. "We'll come back to who to send North later. Grand Maester what news from the Westerlands? "

    (Finally finished. Not expecting this to be canon or anything. Just something fun to write and what could possibly happening. Hope you guys enjoy it.)

    This is canon, for two reasons:

    otto is shown playing the game and well...

    And Viserys is also being his usual self, now that the crisis is not going to be destroying his regime.

    Love it.

    Though there will not be a usual bonus for the turn.

    It will instead be actions later, during the adventure choices.

    Most notably, Lord Hightower coming to the Reach with you, instead of Daemon.

    • The City that Moves:

    [X]Train skill: Time management Rolled:D100 => 6+50=56

    You did not get very… well you didn't get better at managing your time. But you did however see a lot of improvement in other areas…

    Like your relationship with Daemon.

    Failure.
    -------------------------------------------

    -[X]Mother's Mercy: Mother sent a letter, and perhaps that there is something that can help you. Rolled:D100 => 44

    The Letter was damaged, half torn and seemingly… sabotaged when it arrived by Raven. It was as if your mother was… fighting something more. And it was dangerous and deadly.

    And only a little was readable.

    To Lucien.

    Do not come to Dragonstone. Do not let your father come to Dragonstone. Do not come to me, do not try and save me.

    I do not want you to die.

    I see you in my dreams. And my Dreams always come true.

    Your Loving mother, Visanya.​

    Failure. Nothing will help you, for she only confirmed what you already knew.
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------

    -[X]The Father's Hope: Father is in the city, perhaps he understands that something is amiss… and you can fight it. Rolled: D100 => 18

    Father is going to Dragonstone, and you couldn't stop him.

    Failure.
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------

    -[X]Into the Belly of the City: You are going into the city, and perhaps, you can do some of your own investigations. Rolled:D100 => 29

    There was something that was in the city. But Daemon had other plans. He knew something you didn't. And was always going to have that plan sorted out.

    You just had to be patient.

    Failure? Daemon has a plan.
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------

    -[X]That Moment of Weakness: Daemon wept, for he finally had what he wanted. Yet in the face of it all, he had nothing. You need to remind him differently. Rolled:D100 => 92
    -[X]The Truth that Hurts: Daemon struggles to understand what he had just learned. And right now, he seems as silent, confused, and lost as you were. Rolled:D100 => 97

    He looked at you with a sorry, sorrowful gaze, as he quietly looked at Dark sister. Even though he seemingly had everything, he had nothing.

    "What is wrong?" You signed as you sat by him, watching the road as he breathed. There was nothing to indicate he had cried, as you long suspected he did when he was in danger. Some would even say he hid his emotions clearly as the day. But not to you.

    He was quiet. He was very quiet, almost as silent as a ghost.

    He did not answer you. You then tapped his shoulder, causing the prince to become very annoyed. "What?"

    You nodded. "What is wrong?" You repeated, not even bothering to sign properly, for he understood.

    "So many secrets and hidden plots, and no one trusts me until I am of use to them." He chuckled darkly. "Is that all they view me as? The Rogue? The blunt instrument that can kill at the pleasure of my brother?"

    "No." Your voice rising through the air surprised the Prince, as he looked at you in bewilderment.

    "Because you have your family, and you have me." You replied.

    "You're Talking?"

    You nodded. "Is that a surprise?"

    "Yes." He replied.

    You took a moment to think of your next words. "You're the only person I feel safe around enough to talk to." You stated.

    Daemon had no emotions on his face. But he did have a great deal of conflict in his face. "That's… very kind of you Lucien." He stated.

    "It is." You then showed him the letter. "We need to talk about this."

    "Yes…" He then smiled. "Good thing, I have a way to draw him out, and serve the realm."

    "How so?" You asked.

    "You are my squire, and there is a tournament we must go to." He said with a grin.

    "Where?" You asked.

    "Here in King's Landing. Rhaenyra is about to have her name day tourney. And the best way to draw out a blood mage, who wants your mothers blood, is to win the lists. And something tells me that he will want your blood and mine."

    "What makes you think that?" You asked.

    "Clearly this man is someone who has a grudge against the Valyrian families that follow the Old ways of Valyria, and those who are considered outsiders. Your mother fits both, yet they also want to hurt you, a Dragon rider and a member of the royal family. Our family." You could see Daemon's mind work. And work fast and true. "That means he is a foreigner, a dignitary, possibly an eastern man, high born, and a very bad grudge against this family, and seeks to hurt you."

    He then clicked his teeth. "The best way to get him is at the tourney before he can leave the city."

    You nodded. Guess it was time for a tournament.
    ----------------------------------------------------

    The Tournament was going to begin at noon, and you were prepared.

    How were you going to do this?:

    []Be the Squire: Daemon will need you by his side, and while you were sure he wasn't going to do anything rash… well, there was something you feared he might do. And that was something you needed to be there with.

    []Be a Mystery Knight: You are skilled enough to be a mystery knight, even though you knew… people would notice. But you didn't care. You were putting a target on your back. For a good cause.

    []Be with the King and the Court: The King requested if you were not serving as Daemon's squire, to be with the family. Even though your family was at Dragonstone. You also are near the foreign dignitaries that are in the city.

    []Wander the Streets: You are going to investigate something. Something felt off.

    AN: Oof the Magoose dice take this turn.
