As An Eagle Flies (A House Arryn Quest)

Hah. If its Rhaella, at least there are other Targaryens to keep the bloodline going. And the King is hoping to revive dragons within his lifetime, reducing the need for a pure bloodline anyway. I have to wonder if the King is going for a WEIRD move, like marrying Aerys to a High Valyrian Volantine, the family of the Triarch, or even one of the remaining Blackfyres that we don't have records of afer he spanks them with an axe one last time. Finally wrestle the Golden Company and friends back under the control of the Iron Throne.

Alternately, he might just be scraping the bottom of the barrel because Dad did some big, big favors we haven't heard of yet. Things that massively outweigh the bull we observed over in Braavos. The king can't spare another swimming pool of gold but he can spare a daughter.

Screw you dad, that's not shit you dump out in a letter you prick.
Well dad's busy at the moment and decided it was better to give us a heads up that he's making moves without our consent.

I mean, it's in his right as our father and lord, so it's not like its uncalled for.
1. How do we even know this?
We live with Rhaella and are at the heart of most politics in Westeros... We can do make a simple deduction.
, is picking one of these girls confirming our betrothal or just giving us a chance of it?
This is cementing the Betrothal. It can be broken off by other parties if shit gets real, or the winds change.

A little bit of column A, and a little bit of column B.

Apparently there are a few more Valyreian families that are in Volantes... including some family.

Edit: Well, Volantine families that can be considered Valeryian.

Its a good plan. Its a deal with the goddamn devil, Volantis is built upon a mountain of sins that makes the Iron Throne look saintly, but it gets us what we want. Hell, considering that they are the deepest repository of dragonlore west of Asshai, this could be what it takes for Summerhall to be successful. That and Aerys's dragon dreams.

Which might have been one of the assisting factors. A prophet is valuable all by itself.

We would really, really dislike his potential bride though. The Ironborn or the Mountain Clansmen would grate against our worldview less. I also worry about how badly he would be manipulated. And, if he ever DOES become king... gyah. That is genuinely distressing.

Which might come to haunt us if the bride is anything like the Foreign brides that the Targayans or other Westrosi lords marry into.

I'm looking at the Blackfyres, Darklyns, and the Balishes for the bullshit essosi brides/import lords seem to do, from causing civil wars, to capturing kings to just making life hell.
@Magoose I think you should close the vote the bandwagon is fully loaded and gone.
But I'm not even done with the omake with Jon yet.

Maybe after I finish it.
 
The Crown
The Crown:

Rolls:1D100 => 70, 1D100 => 74, 1D100 => 64

"You know at this rate Aegon, your going to either get me killed or yourself killed. And honestly, I don't know which is worse," Jon stated as he sat down at one of Gulltown's many taverns. "And shouldn't you be in Summerhall counting all the gold?"

Aegon smiled. "There was a change of plans. I'm heading north to see Aemon."

There was a small cough from the other patrons as the other guardsman were waiting anxiously. "Why?" Jon asked.

"That's my secret, unfortunately." Aegon replied. "I believe you want to know what this meeting is about."

"I'm listening your grace." Jon stated.

Aegon sighed. "Aerys has been having dreams."

"Dreams? What nonsense do dreams have to do with anything?" Jon asked.

"Because he has predicted an assassination attempt on my life, and drew it." Paper unfurled as Jon saw the scene. He examined it closely and remembered the rumor of the Blackfyre plot. The Symbolism was there, in very well drawn detail.

"Coincidence." Jon stated skepticism all over his voice.

"Mayhaps… but if it's not?" Aegon replied.

"You want to stake the future on a prince's dreams?" Jon asked.

"One action guessed correctly is luck, a second time, coincidence. A Third time? Prophecy. We should not just ignore them if they are nothing, especially if it may bring us victory against our enemies." Aegon replied.

"Yes, and I know enough stories about trying to change the fates of others, and all it does is bring equal or greater tragedy," Jon stated firmly. "They believe themselves invincible, for they know their destiny and how to avoid it. The only destiny we have Aegon, is the one we make for ourselves."

There was a pause. "Just look at this then."

He revealed another drawing, this one far better and more detailed than the last.

It was a Stag fighting a dragon in deep water, with a falcon fighting the sun, a direwolf destroying a rose, and a trout biting the heels in the stream.

The dragon was wearing ruby's on its chest, with the stag beating it with its hoof.

"What is this?" Jon asked.

"Aerys saw something in his dreams that we can no longer ignore," Aegon replied. "For far too long, the Great Houses of Westeros have played the game of politics to further their own ends. Someone sits on the throne, and everyone wants it. This kingdom has nothing unifying it, nothing except an Iron Throne."

"What are you planning?" Jon asked.

"Something great Jon… Something that may truly prevent something like what Aerys from ever happening." He replied.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aegon didn't know why, but his words felt hollow as he said goodbye.

AN: Enjoy.

And those Rolls are not for Jon himself.


Also called the vote: Plan skills and socialization wins.

Also, I forgot to update the Character sheet, but we are now 14.
If we are 14 then the year is 260 AC and in the original timeline the War of the Ninepenny Kings has begun. Given that Aegon V still lives (missing the calamity of his death) it's likely that the Nine decided to conquer the Three Daughters before making their claim in Westeros. Aegon V may decide to do something about a possible war with the Blackfyres on the horizen.

Which is... well things are different now as you can tell, so we are getting... slightly delayed. Or rather... no, not until the next Region report.

And Egg has jumped past his death at this point, which is why the Crown omake is a thing.
 
Check the character sheet and it says we are only competent in everything. Think we are missing traits too.
