Sword Of The Morning .

Part 2

Daeron's Pov, 

Some Day's Later.

Sharpening my sword as I sit by the horses a sigh leaves my lips.......... even if we where still so young the past it haunts me it haunts her. We've heard what they've done to our mothers what they did to Aegon and what would have been our faith if Ser Barristan did not get us out that night. 

Rhaenys she can go into the nearby village and walk around there I am bound to this...... this small farm we've called home for many years. Ser Barristan does not trust many and he has a good right to it, Robert Baratheon will wish to have mine and Rhaenys head even if I do not carry the name Targaryen my mother was Princes Sheana and I have the most right to the Iron Throne..... now Viserys believes he has more claim since his name is Targaryen and mine isn't and I think that's also what stopped me and Ser Barristan of seeking him and Daenerys out. 

Now there's not much Viserys could do I've been trainend by Ser Barristan since I could pick up a sword, but still he would kill me in my sleep or poison me to be the only male heir.  Some may side with him some may side with me if it where to ever come down to it, Dorne will never follow him my wife to be is the daughter of Ellia Martell and I am the son of Arthur Dayne and Shaena Targaryen. I wished we could have gone to Dorne but Robert would have never let us live there..... he would have brought an army before putting me and Rhaenys to the sword. 

Dorne alone will not help us retake the Seven Kingdom's, The Tyrrel's have sided many time with the Targaryen's and even if they now do again two kingdoms against the other 5 aren't favoring odds. 

Maybe Rhaenys is right we should just stay here make Ser Barristan lose his mind more when our children will annoy him like we used to do............ but if we won't fight those who died, died for nothing.  Love such a funny thing, the love my mother had for me made her give up her life so Ser Barristan get us out of King's Landing. The love Ser Barristan had for Rhaegar and Aerys made him save their blood even if he could have bended the knee to Robert...... the love Robert held for Lyanna Stark made him fight...... the love Jon Arryn had for Robert and Ned made him rally his banners...... The Love my father had for Rhaegar made him fight at the Tower of Joy while he could have maybe escaped with me and my mother. 

We make so many discissions based on love but in a way it's what makes us human, it makes us fight harder, fiercer for those we hold in our heart. "Have you ever been in love?" I ask Ser Barristan as he is feeding the horses making his head turn in my direction. 

"I am sworn to celibacy, we take no wives and father no childre-" 

"I know the vows well my father was the only one who was allowed to wed and father a child, but I asked you if you where ever in love. Isn't it a human thing? To love." I say as I cut him off with a tilt of my head. 

"Like have you never seen some beautiful woman and thought wow I want to protect her... to hold her and keep her safe. In other words to love." I continue and he turns in my direction. "Or you can just say you love me and Rhaenys like we are of your own blood." I finish with a small smirk pulling a chuckle from the man. 

"Maybe after all these years a little, but yes there was a woman I loved once." He speaks and I let my eyes widen as I pat the spot next to me on the bench. "Well come on tell me about her! It's a order from your king." I say making him shake his head as he walks over to me and takes a seat. 

"I saw her at the Tourney at Starfall..... she was the most beautiful lady I've ever seen." He says and I raise my brow. "The Tourney at Starfall?" 

"Yes the Tourney they held for when you where born I don't think your father ever stopped showing you off to the people." He says with a small chuckle and it makes a small smile grow on my face. 

"Well what did she look like? What was her name come on tell me more." I ask him and he keep his eyes focused on the horses who are eating the hay. 

" Young, beautiful, tall and fair, with haunting violet eyes. Long dark hair that tumbled around her shoulders." He speaks and wait violet eyes? Dark hair? "My aunt? Ashara Dayne! Wait you loved her?!" I almost yell and he gives me a small nod. 

"So if you weren't a King's Guard you would have shown her all your charms, ask for her hand and be my uncle? She died, didn't she?" I say with a shake of my head. "In any life she would not have been mine, vows, age, different marriages. But that does not change that I loved her in my own way." He says making me release a sigh. 

"Viserys believes he holds a army now Dothraki will never cross the narrow sea maybe one day if their Khal orders it but he is no Khal but a fool who sold his sister off. Dorne alone can not grant me the Iron Throne. You killed Maelys I Blackfyre did you not in the War of the Ninepenny King's. The Golden Company where founded by Aegon Rivers to help put a Blackfyre on the Iron Throne but that line is no more.............. Word has been that Viserys invited them, they ate his food, drank his wine and laughed at him when he asked them to fight for him." I say as I get up with my sword and turn towards Ser Barristan. 

"I could take them home could I not Ser Barristan, 20.000 men of the Golden Company 50,000 men of Dorne or will it always be a dream that we will go home again?" I ask him with a frown making the knight get up before he places his hand on my shoulder. 

"If anyone is taking us home it's going to be you Daeron, if you wish to speak with the Golden Company and make them swear to you we will. You are turning 1 and 9 soon it's time to not hide anymore but to stay in the words of the houses whose blood courses through your veins Reborn at Dawn  with Fire and Blood." He says as he gives my shoulder a squeeze and I give him a nod. 

"You still hold that big bag of diamonds?" 

"Yes and after last time I hid it pretty well I like to think." He says and I shrug my shoulders with a small grin. "The pile of shit.... come on Barristan you have to try better." I say as I point towards the dunghill. 

"Then why ask me in the first place?" He counters as he pulls away from me and walks over to said dunghill before starting to search for the bag of diamonds. It will help us on our travels..... gold and men are things wars can never have enough of no matter how hard you try to keep men alive or to not go bankrupt. 

Hearing some hooves quickly coming our way I look to the side only to see 3 Dothraki riders coming our way with their Arakh's in hand and my eyes widen sightly. "Rhaenys." I breathe out as i jump over the fence with my sword and dodge the incoming swing before slicing my blade through the riders leg that fall to the ground. 

"No wait Daeron!" Ser Barristan yells as the second one tries to swing for my head while the screams of the first one fills my ears but I block the incoming swing before pulling the rider of his horse. 

As he lands on the ground, I shove my blade through his neck before quickly mounting the horse.  Sending it into a gallop I make my way away from the farm and towards the nearby village..... I will slay every man who ever lays his hands on her. 

"Daeron wait!" Ser Barristan yells once again but it falls to deaf ears, love it makes a man gallop towards possibly an army of Dothraki to save the woman he loves. One man, ten men, onehundred of them or a amry will not keep me away from Rhaenys she is my home..... my family beside Ser Barristan she's all I have left of a life we once had.
