Dany had easily acquired the Unsullied, once a slave army now fought as free men under their queen. Violet couldn't help but turn around to the army that was marching behind them on their way to Yunkai, and smile. She smiled seeing how many men were following her sister, and how many more they had to fight for their cause.

Dany was smarter and much more cunning than Violet had even realized, and she hardly recognized her sister when the ordeal was over. She saw the determination and the will behind Dany's matching uniquely colored eyes, and she knew just how wonderful a Queen she would be. Violet spent her entire life in Westeros and she had known two kings rule in that time. Both of whom were out to kill both her and her sister, a revenge that would not go unsatisfied when the time came.

It was a week of heavy marching through the deserts of Essos before the large city of Yunkai had finally arrived into their sights in the distance. Violet smiled and dismounted her horse before joining her sister, Ser Jorah and Ser Barristan who were looking over the ridge not twenty feet away. "Who are they?" Dany asked, noticing the dozens of tents that were set up outside the city.

"The second sons, Khaleesi." Ser Barristan answered.

"An army of sell swords." Violet said with a scoff. Dany turned to her sister. "You know these men?" She asked. Violet shrugged her shoulders and fiddled with the hilt of her sword.

"I know of them. Ser Barristan?" asked Violet.

"They are led by a man called Mero from Braavos, they call him the Titans bastard." Ser Barristan answered. "They are paid by the Yunkish."

"Men who fight for gold, not honor. I've killed at least a hundred men like them on my own." Violet said, her eyes not wavering from the army before her. "They will fight for whoever pays them more."

"It's hard to collect gold from a corpse." Said Dany. Violet looked over and could once again see the wheels turning in her sister's head. "I assume they would want to fight for the winning side."

"Aye, your grace." Answered Ser Barristan, Ser Jorah humming along in agreement.

"I want to meet with the Titan's Bastard."

Violet nodded and began to ready her horse. "I'll go. I'll retrieve their commander for you, Sister."

Dany however had other ideas. "No." She said with a shake of her head. "I know you can handle yourself Sister, but I can't risk you getting taken as they have mistaken you for me. I cannot risk your life."

"You will have to risk my life at some point, Sister." Violet argued.

"But for something greater. I cannot lose my blood, my best fighter and one of my commanders before the war has even started." Said Dany. Violet sighed and dismounted her horse, not wanting to argue with her sister after such a long ride.

"Fine. I shall take the dragons out to hunt. Ser Jorah, Ser Barristan, if you let anything happen to her I will cut off your cocks and feed them to my horse."

Ser Jorah and Ser Barristan smirked to one another, having gotten used to Violet's threats. They knew she meant well and wanted her sister safe more than anyone. "Yes, your grace." Ser Barristan said mockingly to her, as she started to walk away. Violet turned around and heaved a dagger towards his head, it grazing his hair and hitting a rock he was leaning against.

"I won't miss next time." She said with a smirk as she caught the dagger he had tossed back to her before heading down the ridge to let the three growing beasts out to hunt.

Violet let Viserion and Drogon fly back her sister before sending Rhael off with his brothers. The Unsullied were all setting up their temporary tents and setting up guards along the ridges and tents. It took Violet almost an hour to find her sisters tent, as she couldn't speak Valyrian and couldn't ask any of the soldiers. 

She quickened her pace when she noticed three unfamiliar male figures standing just inside the opening. "I could have sworn I fucked you in a pleasure house in Leeds." Violet heard the man in the center say before he took a step closer. She could see her sister clearly rolling her eyes, Ser Barristan and Ser Jorah trying to hold their tongues, and Missandei the young girl they took from Astapor looking very uncomfortable.

Before the man could take another step forward, Violet pounced almost silently. She flipped him with ease onto his back, her boot pressed against his neck and her sword pressed against the front of his trousers. The man looked surprised and looked between Violet and her sister with great interest. "I suggest you mind your tongue, if you ever want to use this again." She growled, pressing the tip of her sword harder into his groin, causing him to grunt out in pain. 

"Fuck, theres two of you?" He exclaimed as Violet let him free but kept her sword at her side and her eyes glued to the three unfamiliar man. The one with short black hair, the taller of the three was smiling at her, making her frown and take a step backwards. 

"Might I introduce my Sister, Violet. " Dany said with a smirk as she watched the man holding his groin stumble back into line with the other commanders. "If you do as I ask and join me, you'll be fighting alongside her. So get used to her."

"I'll never fight alongside a woman." The man scoffed, his arms crossing across his chest. 

"Better beside me than against me, I'd hate to kill you." Violet said, but the sarcasm was evident. She would kill this man in a heartbeat if her sister didn't want his army. "Oh sweetheart, I'd love to see you try." 

Violet shrugged and soon her dagger was embedded in his thigh. He shouted in pain before ripping it out and attempting to heave it back at Violet, but Violet caught the blade before it even came close to her. "And Sweetheart, I'd love to see you try." Violet said causing the man who was smiling at her to burst into laughter. 

"Mero, just give up. Besides I think I've fallen in love." The dark haired man said before taking a step forward towards Violet. The man was handsome, Violet would admit that, but that didn't mean she wouldn't hesitate to kill him in the blink of an eye. 

"Daario Naharis." The man said, looking her straight in the eye before bowing his head. Violet rolled her eyes before turning around to see her sister smirking at her. Violet took a step closer, close enough to where her lips just barely hovered above his ear. "Don't ever bow to me again." She whispered before walking over to stand in front of Missandei who was getting disgusting looks from Mero. Daario walked back to stand with his men, a smile on his face. 

Dany and the three men conversed for a while, and Violet eventually tuned them out and began sharpening her sword in the corner of the tent. But when they left Violet couldn't help but think she stirred the pot a little too much between the men who her sister wanted to fight on her side, and maybe she made a mistake in poking the bear that was Mero.


A/N So obviously Daario is now in the story, but I'm using the show's current Daario instead of the one who was actually in this scene as I can't really change casting in a book lol plus I like the new Daario better anyway!
