Chapter 4 - Preparing for War

[Rhaenys POV]

2 Years later

It's been a long two years since Aenar told Arthur and mother about are magic we decide not to tell them about us becoming gods yet that was way in the future mother wasn't that surprised she notice Aenar wasn't like other boys although she was mad about being the last one told she made sure to voice her complaints to Aenar. Aenar had performed a blood ritual on Arthur after much convincing after it was done, he was much stronger and faster now he could also heal faster my brother said in the future he will be able to cut a continent in half.

Aenar said that one day all even the average soldier would be as strong as Arthur is currently, but they wouldn't get any stronger he also had mother bath in some magical water he said it was from the River Styx she was stronger and invulnerable ever were except for her heel.

My powers were growing nicely I could manipulate any water around me when I was touching it would heal my wounds and give me energy something I also found interesting I could talk to any animal that lives in the sea, I could breathe under water, and I don't get wet even if jump in the sea I would emerge dry. 

I also work on my magically abilities not just my domain as an Valyrian I had natural infinity for fire and blood magic. We didn't use the blood magic of our ancestors since we are more powerful, we mainly use it to enhance others like Arthur.

My skill with a spear was getting better every day I could was more skilled than Obara now but not Uncle Oberyn. My uncle along with the Obara, Tyene and Nymeria had come to support us in our future conquest. Obara had expressed Aenar with her skill, so he made her a Kings guard and gave her the same power as Arthur.

I will never forget the faces of my Dornishs relatives when Aenar made her Kings guard Uncle was proud his daughter the first women to become King guard. They were also surprised at the magic me and Aenar showed them Uncle said I was Mother Rhoyne come again my brother said because of ability I would become Dornes patron God in the future.

Nymeria and Tyene also wanted powers Aenar said if they proved themselves useful in the upcoming conquest, he would grant them power my brother was always good at motivating people.

I could tell my brother wanted them to join his group called Sisterhood of Imperium a group of all females that are specialized in intelligence gathering and assassination. I could see why my brother wanted them to join they already had the skills for it they could also be good teachers.

We recently inquired the Windblown, Company of the Rose and Wolf Pack we were able to gain their loyalty very easily. The Tattered Prince wanted Pentos Asher Forrester wanted purpose and Jasper Hornwood wanted a lordship all of them were easy to control. Windblown had 2,000 horses and men the Company of the Rose had 1,000 men and 500 horses Wolf Pack has 500 men. Consider are plan that was all we need it anything more would be a waste of money. 

The Red Faith had grown in power and influence within and out the city the bible was proving to be effective. People loved it besides the religious aspect it was an enjoyable book took read the priestess use it to teach children how to read. Because of the success Aenar decide to expand the Fiery Hand into a royal guard and army what started as just thousand slave soldiers were turned into a large army full of loyal fanatics. We freed many young men who more than happen to join are army right now we had twenty thousand men in training. Their done training was over seen by me, Aenar and Arthur their training was brutal not like the Unsullied but till hard after all they needn't to be ready for the long night. 

Even the nobles like it since it pays respect to the old Gods of Valyria. Are newly formed faction the Jaguars was growing at nice pace first we reach out to the more religious families then to weaker families that wanted more power. It was hard for them to expect end of slavery but wants I showed them my strength and magic they agreed they know from then on, I had power to end slavery on Essos and create a new world power.

The spy network was coming along nicely we had ears and eyes in Kings Landing, Casterly Rock, Highgarden, Storm's End, The Eyrie and Riverrun. We also had some in Braavos, Pentos, Tyrosh, Myr, Lys and of course Volantis. We didn't need spies in the other free cities as of now there was no need. I myself felt ready for the upcoming conquest only thing I was dissatisfied with was my weapon.

It was well forge steel giving to me by my uncle but compared to my brother's sword he was giving to two years ago it was lacking. Lightbringer the legendary sword of Azoi Ahai it is pale like milk glass same as Dawn its cuts and slice just as well. Aenar said I would have a Valyria steel weapon before we get to Westeros but still jealous. I couldn't just wield Dark Sister I was spearmen at heart and when I do use sword, I prefer a rapier.

I can think about my weapon later today was my brother's name day unlike previous years I hadn't gotten him a gift. He already had ever thing he wanted so wasn't sure what to get him perhaps I'll ask Shiera she known men like the back of her hand

[MC POV]

It was almost time for the Conquest of Slaver's Bay I had been preparing for this since I was one name day this will be the beginning of the Imperium of Valyria although I would soon have more.

Jalabhar Xho a exiled Prince of the Red Flower Vale we had recently meant and came to a successful negotiation I would help conquer all of Summer Isles and would join the Imperium of Valyria.

My cousin Robert was a fool not to help him he probably doesn't even know how wars are fought in the Summer Isles but his lose is my gain.

Not that much would change the summer isles for a while accept having better access trade paying taxes and dealing with more politics, they real change will come when my daughter Gael Targaryen future Goddess of Love.

The summer isles will eventually forsake their old gods and start praying to my pantheon after they'll be interacting with living god.

Having access to their ships and skill along with my knowledge of ships will be able create great ships future far surpassing Braavos.

I got in contact with House Rogare a year ago I made deal with them that Rogare Bank will join the Imperium even though they were less powerful than the Iron Bank but they easy to control the Iron Bank would only resist the Imperium. 

Rogare Bank will take the place of the Iron Bank as the powerful bank, and it will be under compete control of the Imperium a future world where House Targaryen control the worlds money was a must. 

Speaking of future, I was thinking about the conversation I had with the Three Eyed Raven last night.

[Flashback]

I was having a wonderful dream of me Rhaney and Shiera until I felt knocking on the door of my mental shields. Who is trying to reach out to me I thought as slowly let them my mind ready to kill if they showed any signs of aggressive. 

''Your mind is strong for someone so young'' said a Crow with three eyes.

''The Three Eyed Raven what do you want from me'' I ask getting straight point

''Thats how you treat you Uncle'' he asks without emotion.

''You're not my uncle you're the Three Eyed Raven now answer my question'' I said.

''Very well your grace since the recuse of your sister and your birth the worlds origin path of this world has change, I can barely keep up some many possibilities yet in ever one I've seen it always ends in two ways Eternal Winter or Valyria Reborn. You are mankind's only hope that's why I sent you those swords Dark Sister and Lightbringer I have one more thing to give one my title as the Three Eyed Raven is yours from here onward you have the power to be a better Three Eyed Raven then I ever could'' said the Three Eyed Raven.

'Wouldn't your old gods be upset with that after all I plan on stealing their followers'' I ask.

''The Old Gods view you as essential to their follower's survival every day the Night King grows stronger the old gods get weaker by the time he gets passed the Wall the old gods will be dead'' he said.

''I see I accept the title as the Three Eyed Raven, but will you do now old man now that the world know longer needs you'' I ask curiously to know. 

''Night King still needs to kill me I don't plan on letting him do it without living my mark'' he said I swear if I was talking to a person he be smirking. 

''I see so, you no longer need Brandon Stark'' I stated rather than ask.

''Yes, his fate along with many others has change'' he said.

''I see then I would ask something of then I want you to influence events just enough to make the War of 5 Kings longer'' I ask?

''Yes, it can be done'' he said.

''Good if there nothing else I'm going to sleep'' I said I didn't like when other people interrupted my sleep in the future, I wouldn't get a lot of sleeps for long periods of time.

''I wish to mention one more thing your grace take care of Shiera'' he said with emotion before disconnecting from my mind. 

 ''So, there still some of Bryden Rivers in you after all farewell Uncle'' I said. 

[Flashback ended]

Now that I'm the That I'm the Three Eyed Raven my control over Fate should be stronger now I should be able to see into the past for longer amount time and discover more of Valyria lost knowledge. I wasn't just copying my ancestors I also had created on my own I had created perfume, cologne, deodorant, soup, tampons and toothbrushes I started selling them under a fake name two years ago. My products had spread all over Esso and Westeros earning me over two million gold dragons and five million sliver stags. My mother Sheria and Rhaenys loved all my products as expected women were my main customers. 

My most ambitious and dangerous invention was gun powder I was hesitant to bring that type of power into world but if I didn't someone else would. It took a year to find what I needn't to make gun powder and cannons. I made two types of cannons one designed for land one designed for ships with guns, dragon and magic on my side I felt like I could do anything. I had two land cannons and four ship cannons with more cannons on the way.

Not it was time for my name day feast I wore an all-black version of what Loras Tyrell use to wear in the show as I walk towards the dining room I see everybody already their dress in fine clothes waiting for me.

''Finally, the man of the day as appeared'' said Ashara. 

''Where trying to starve us Valonqar'' ask Rhaenys sarcastically.

''Are king loves to keep us waiting'' said Nymeria. 

''You look husband as ever my king'' said Tyene.

''Finally, I'm starving'' said Oberyn.

''Thank you Tyene sorry to keep everyone waiting let's get the feast started'' I stated.
