"The Gods rule us still, they have come down from the sky and they are no longer kind....let it be. They will bow anyway"
"Them whom the gods love, die young"
It was late at night when Jon had decided to visit Marie, he didn't want her to get married to Robb. He didn't deserve her, he knew about his affair with Talissa and even though Maria didn't love Robb he knew that she would be hurt if she was about to find out. He knocked on her door and got inside only to find her in her wedding dress looking at herself in the mirror, the sadness in her eyes was obvious. He would do anything to take this sadness away. He closed the door gently and walked over to her, he wrapped his arms around her waist from the back and looked into her eyes through the mirror. He sighed and looked down, none of them needed words that moment because both knew the others thoughts. They were like one person in two bodies, his hands on hers and his thumbs drawing circles on her soft skin
"I will never find love....never Jon. Not with him....what if I will be unhappy for the rest of my life? I didn't. Want to marry him....anyone but him" she whispered and sighed, she had never imagined her wedding day. But she certainly knew that she didn't want to be forced to do it, she could eat married to anyone but him...well not anyone, but she could get married to Jon. They would laugh and have fun and there was already a love between them, no they weren't in love but they loved each other. Not like a husband and wife but they would be happier, they would still be friends and close to each other. She sighed
"I can still take you away and we could always lie about us getting married in secret" he whispered to her ear and rested his head on her shoulder before they both chuckled at the stupid thought. None would believe those two were in love, she smiled thought a little. How did he always manage to do that? Well that was what best friends are for right?
"Yeah....except that none would believe us and then we would have your life ruined....not that it won't be by going to the Wall but still..." she said softly and turned around to face him in real, she kissed his forehead "I will miss you...only you make me that happy" she whispered and hugged him
"Robb will too....one day, maybe not that much but he will make you happy. I know he will...." he whispered and held her close to him, he looked down at her and smiled as he stroked her hair "you are beautiful, Robb is a lucky man....never forget that" he said and cupped her face, he kissed her cheek goodbye and she nodded
"I will always remember that Jon Snow" she said smiling at him, as he helped her take her wedding dress off and she put her nightgown on and laid on the bed he laid beside her and looked out at the stars and the moon. She looked at the stars and he looked at her, Robb would break her. He was already sleeping around, Maria was proud. And she was reckless too, he didn't know what she would do...not to him, not the women who would have slept with him....but to herself. He sighed and looked at the moon. He wouldn't be there to protect her, his best friend and little sister kinda thing.
"There are moments like those that I realize how really lonely I am...no family, not many friends, no lover, no history....nothing" she whispered and siege before she closed her eyes then she held his hand on hers giving it a gentle yet firm squeeze
"You have me, until the very last star in this galaxy dies....you have me. You are not alone" he said looking at her, he pulled her closer to him as they both watched the stars together. He sighed, it was the last night they could be carefree and happy, enjoying each other's company all alone....free from responsibilities
"And you have me....until the sun rises from the west and until the moons stops existing" she said and looked at him with a smile on her face, she knew that if she would be able to have Jon in her life she would take that chance. But she couldn't, they couldn't. Too bad because Jon truly understood her like none else would, he cared for her and loved her, respected and valued her more than anyone else. And so did she. All the time.

Meanwhile after some sword practice, the elder prince of Pentos, Herastous walked inside the palace again. One of the most beautiful and powerful cities of Essos, one of the most beautiful cities in the whole known world. Herastous was very skilled with the sword, with the spear and he was a very handsome young man. The twenty-three-year old prince was charming good with the ladies, but he wasn't married. He refused to marry without love and no woman in Pentos seemed good enough for him. As he entered the palace soldiers bowed his heads and so did the maids, he reached the throne room and walked to the big table where his father and the advisors were.
"Any news from our allies?" He asked and looked at all of them, Pentos had some problems those days. Mainly with Meereen as those were the ones who were mainly against their law in Pentos in which no man or woman were slaves and if Meereen was known for one thing that was for their high number of slaves.
"Not much....most of the cities in Essos are too scared to stand against Meereen or against us so we have none yet but....Raynar here has a really good idea" his father said and looked at his son "seek allies in Westeros, mainly in the north. We have always been a little close so I think that might help us. Lord Stark's son is getting married, it's the perfect chance. You go to the wedding, offer them some ships as their navy sucks and ask them for banners....charm them and we will beat Meeren sooner than anyone can imagine" he finished and looked around the table, the perfect plan. His son was the best soldier Pentos had but he was a peaceful man
"Alright....but I am not going without gifts, prepare some good ones for the wedding and some better ones for the arrangement" Herastous said and nodded, he wasn't that sure as he had never trust the Starks or any other house in Westeros...well none except the Martells and the Arryns. But it was a good chance, Winterfell was closer than any other big castles in Westoros and the marriage along with the gifts would be an interesting offer for just some soldiers. Little did he know what the future was holding for him and the fate of Pentos
And an aesthetic for our prince of Pentos ❤️
*Herastus is a cinnamon roll *Mare wants to kill them all.... *Jon Snow rocks!!!!!!
