  ---------------------------------------

  Thrid Person POV

  Westeros, 296 AC.

  ---------------------------------------

  "Any news from the south?" Jon asked while surrounded by cil members.

  "We haven't heard anythi and the patrol hasn't made any moves..." Brynden said.

  "Alright... if they attack, I'll leave someoo deal with them alone," Jon warned, but tinued. "But I'm also worried about the movements of the real eo the north. We are just dealing with men in the south, but to the north, our true enemy remains silent. We haven't seen any suspicious activity from them on a rge scale yet, but I know they are still waiting to make some move. But I'm sure I still make my trip to Essos. However, I need some direct tact, to uand the situation from here. There's a rge group ing from the north, right?" Jon asked.

  "Yes..." Brynden spoke and Jon nodded.

  "It's very likely to take years to reach this part with their army..." Jon ented after all it was a lot of people to move, he himself wandered almost a year with a much smaller group than this ohrough the region before finding the pce where he would build Artica.

  "About our trip... I'm leaving with some ministers." Jon spoke again while the topiow was about the trip to Essos.

  "Should I go to Dorne, my king?" Darius asked and Jon nodded.

  "Yes, I want you to see our situation with the Dornish and also I want you to do something important, I need you to deliver a message to someone important and even take her out of Dorne if she agrees. I won't let her be a political piece of her uncle, not anymore." Jon spoke with a serious tone, as his minister spoke.

  "You will tinue handling the projectiles of the kingdom, Meistre Aemon will be responsible for managing the educators for all the Artis, I'm sure we at least, alphabetize them in the on tongue in 2 or 3 years... after that they will learn new nguages, the children will be even faster." Jon spoke and tinued looking at the daughter of the forest.

  "Of course, my king." Aemon responded with a small smile.

  "About my project, I've worked all week to create a tree that meets the o create a luminous crystal that charges through sor energy via photosynthesis, for that I had to create a pnt anism in it and it needs exposure to the sun, but it will take a year to start produg the crystals, if nothing goes wrong as well. I'll leave the rest with you Seraphine, I want you to take care of the project." Jon advised.

  The daughter of the forest nodded.

  "Kiera, tinue anizing the new district judges, I want everyoo be judged holy withihical framework we set up."

  "I will take care of all that!" The woman said firmly.

  "I also want you to recruit wargs, we have some crimes that I myself have to iigate when we 't find a culprit and I uhem through the memories of the animals, my source of surveilnce... but I couldn't do this forever, that's why I want you to start recruiting people who are capable of trag down the criminals and solving the crimes." Jon spoke, after all he had been doing some of those jobs st week, it was very rare, but he wouldn't leave the people without justid ended up catg the criminals, many of whom are w together with the prisoners from the south or even with their heads beheaded.

  Artica should be just with those art of it, as for the enemies... they will soon feel a terror as soon as they think they survived in the nds beyond the wall.

  "How many ships do you io take, my king?" Thor asked.

  "All 500 ships, I'm sure you will build a few more to tihe trade with the south and to start trade with Essos, as we make tracts with the ti." Jon said.

  "Do you think the ti will wele us after what happened ieros?" Darius asked cautiously, and Jon was not annoyed by his question, after all it was something rational and to debate.

  "They might not accept us." Jon admitted, "But let's see what they have to say, it doesn't hurt to try besides, we have business with products much superior to the market at an affordable priot to mention that we have the monopoly of id Dorne is the only kingdom that enjoy this trade until further notice." Jon spoke.

  "But I want Gavron to apao Braavos." Jo back to speaking while everyone looked at him, especially Gavron curiously.

  "How may I assist you, my king?" He asked, and Jon just cracked a smile.

  "You are my Master of ... about what we discussed two weeks agarding my pn... I'm going to do it..." Jon decred with a smile.

  "My king... yoing to buy..." The minister was stunned by this.

  "Yes... I'm going to buy the Iron Bank..." He decred, leaving everyohere stunned.

  "Are you really going to do this, my king?" Brynden said, surprised, having never heard anyone make such a statement.

  "Yes... I'll start by being the main shareholder depositing currency, it will be advantageous for them, after all our bank is almost being created and we will start to i moo circute in Artica, today we have a lot of work, but everyone bes, I want the currency to circute ahe reward for everything that the Artis work for, this will make people with innovative ideas emerge, and the market will do its own work." Jon decred, after all, he believed in a free market, where the tax of Artica would only be collected to has basistitutions, such as state, security, health, and education, after all even the people who make it up o receive money for their work.

  "Couldn't this end up having some problems, my king...?" Darius asked again cautiously.

  "That's ill maintain rules that no one, not even the ministers and king, will be above, are fual ws, this will prevent someone from being immoral in any position they hold in Artica, with judges to judge any important case, no matter who, after all, I do not want one day some mad tyrant to assume my position as king." Jon spoke with a firm tone, he did not want to see his kingdom that he himself founded, beiroyed as happened with many of the kings of the south.

  "I see... and with the Iron Bank... Will you assume the ey of Essos, my king?" Gavron asked curiously.

  "Yes... I 't take the money from Essos, but I'm sure there are many products that we trade there and bor, it will be an ey that will be all of us, and I will have the security of the Iron Bank n to profit from me, while I have the most power of it." Jon said as the others nodded.

  "Anyway, I will prepare, I will leave here in two weeks. So I want everyoo work on their own projects and everything to be ready by the time I return from Yi-Ti." Jon said, thinking about his trip to the eastern try.

  "Brynden." Jon called him as they left. " you lend me some of your power... I o see some things in the green sight." Jon asked and Brynden nodded, and they headed to the great Weirwood, while Joered the green sight with Brynden after a year without doing so.

  "What do you want to see...?" Brynden asked.

  "There's a dragon in Skagos... I want to know whie." Jon said making Brynden raise an eyebrow.

  "A dragon?" He asked, not knowing about it.

  "Yes... I felt it and it even spoke to me through the mind... its eyes were bright green and even evil with fmes also having the same coloration as wildfire... I researched and I believe it to be ibal, who fled during the Dance of the Dragons... at this moment, he is rger than Balerion the Bck Dread... from Aegon." Jon said, after all that dragon was immense now.

  "That is quite ued... I had never looked at this dragon..." Brynden really had never researched where this dragon was and did not expect it to be so close to the wall the eime, let alone alive.

  "Alright... let's see this dragon..." Brynden said as they followed leaning on the roots of the Grand Weirwood. Brynden quickly used his powers to ect with the past while Jon aransformed their eyes into white globes.

  Everything darkened as they woke up in the middle of the Dance of the Dragons, this event had already been seen by both, so they ighe war happening ieros between the greens and the bcks, while they focused on staying in Dragonstone.

  "Now we have to know when he left his ." Jon ented as Brynden began to mess with time while they watched several dragons ing and going on the isnd, but none being ibal.

  Then finally a dragon that was not at all small, being rger than all except for Vhagar, came out of its ir spewing green fmes all over the path as it flew out of the isnd, with people screaming at it, but it didn't care as it headed north.

  "It seems this is the moment... we'll head to Skagos and wait for him there," Brynden said, and the se shifted again as Jon and he found themselves on the northern isnd, with snow c all the forests as they waited on a mountain.

  It didn't take long for the giant bird to appear in the sky, as it began to fly over the mountaihem. Jon wondered if anyone had seen the dragon, but it was likely not, at that time, Gregan Stark had mao gather all the forces of the isnd to fight with him for the bcks in the south, while the isnd was much emptier.

  The dragon seemed to be looking at the mountains and iigating the dormant voloes on it, as it started to fp its wings at one point and desded into a cave where it entered after hitting the rocks several times te the entrand remaihere until the end of the Dance of the Dragons in the south.

  Over the years, it only came out to hunt, but it had a lifestyle that summed up in going out to eat enough and hibernate, something Jon did not knons did.

  ibal went out to hunt rge fish and even whales irembling sea, while over the turies, Skagos knew of its presence, almost deg it as a god, or, as they were drawing on their walls for the tribes there, as the lord of the mountain, even delivering some s in search of blessing and prote.

  The vision ehere as the dragon remained on the mountain to this day. Bryndeuro his normal state and looked at Jon curiously... "What do you pn to do with him, my king?" He asked.

  "After the trip to Essos, I io try to tame him," Jon decred.

  "Do you think you mahat, he is probably the most powerful dragoeros has ever seen," Brynden spoke with a ed tone.

  "Eragon is growing fast... when I return, he will be prepared and wearing armor, then I will face him, if you think I be defeated, I have fideo the trary," Jon said firmly, and Brynden just nodded.

  "Now I must go, I o speak with Aemon and Archmaester Marwyn," Jon bid farewell ahe Grand Weirwood ao the uy where he found both in a hidden room with important books.

  "Here is everything we discovered this week, my king..." Archmaester Marwyn ented handing the paper to Jon, as he read.

  "So, the Maesters knew of the retionship between my mother and the prind maniputed the ravens to put as many people as possible in favor of Robert's rebellion," Jon ented with anger. "Even that maester before Luwin... that bastard had received the message, but he did not deliver it to my maternal grandfather," Jon spoke angrily.

  "Not just that, my boy..." Aemon spoke with a sad tohey poisoned Rhael and her babies, making her lose the babies, while making the king crazier and more paranoid with other poisons," he spoke with a sad tone.

  They analyzed all the books that Jon had stolen, there were ma things they researched, like wargs, theories, and magical arts, despite hating magic, but Jon was more ied in how they tried to manipute the entire ti, they had the ears of all the lords of Westeros, they could pass any wrong information or viheir lords of the path they wahe city to take.

  "I'm sure everyone ieros would be shocked with this information, even Tywin did not e out unscathed while his wife oisoned i pregnancy," Marwyn said.

  Jon did not care about that now, he just sighed. "Let's just keep this information and maybe use it iure, but now is not iing, as for the knowledge of the citadel... we don't , si's inferior to that of Artica," Jon said.

  "Yes, my king, it seems that my colleagues have always been quite anxious whether in this geion or before. I am quite shocked," Marwyn murmured.

  "Now I'm heading back to the castle, sahings," Jon spoke as he left the uy ao the king's castle to spend his time with his wives and talk about the trip.

  Meanwhile, a man was striking against the rocks using a pickaxe, he was tired as he sweated all over his body, in a state he had never reached before in his life until a few moons ago, as he hit to break the rocks, he wondered how his life had ended up so far from his family being a prisoner beyond the wall.

  "What am I seeing? A southerner w, 2 southerners w, 3 southerners w...!" And to help, he began to hear a song behind him in a not-so-tuone as a deep voice sang. This was a dwarf overseeing the prisoners, whether it was him or the hundreds captured from the Redwyne fleet.

  "What am I singing, Pop?" Another dwarf approached with his mount, looking curiously at his friend.

  "Nothing much, just ting how many southern workers we have here," he said.

  "You sing very badly and your music doesn't match. So learn," this year the dwarf spoke with a smile in his eyes.

  "One kneeling southerner w, 2 kneeling southerners w, 3 kneeling southerners w..." He began to sing.

  "Mine sounds better, Mac!" Pop pined.

  "So how about we sing together?" Mac suggested, and Pop nodded.

  "What am I seeing?! A southerner w, 2 southerners w, 3 southerners w." Both began to sing together.

  " you shut up?" Suddenly, the former Lord Hightower shouted, making the dwarves surprised as they looked at him.

  "Did he curse us, Mac?" One asked.

  "I believe so, Pop... what shall we do?"

  Lord Hightower's brother was getting increasingly irritated, not only had his life been reduced from feasts to something so humiliating, but he also had to ehis mockery from the on folk of these nds. This is torture! Someone like him should not be going through such a situatiohought, frustrated.

  " you stop singing and shut your damn mouths, you damned dwarves!" He shouted, while the other men at his side looked on cautiously, w what would happen to him.

  "Looks like the southerner is upset... what we do with him, Pop?" Mac asked.

  "Let's make him run naked across the wall!" Pop suggested.

  "That sounds very good!! Let's see if he won't appreciate our songs after that!" Mac said fidently.

  "But first let's sing! I am seeing a southerner w, 2 southerners w, 3 southerners w." They went back to singing again to annoy him even more.

  "Shut your damn mouths!" The man excimed with all his strength, driven mad by his situation, and, regardless of being punished for it, he just wao sh out at someone and curse his damn fate.

  "HAHHAHAHA!" The dwarves were enjoying themselves and ughing at the man's suffering.

  "Any problems?" Suddenly, heavy footsteps began to e, with a giant approag in armor and shield and spear.

  All the prisoners froze as he approached, while the dwarves had a smile. "We have one of them offended by lorious music, we don't know what to do with him, he even was offending Artica," a dwarf said with a sinister smile.

  "I see... you will be punished," the giant announced as he approached him, while the man looked terrified at that.

  "Wait!! Don't take me to that pce again!" The man now remembered that the punishments here were harsh and he was about to be taken to one of them.

  The man spoke trying to vihem not to do it, but it was too te, as he was taken to an isoted cell without food, he could only watch as he was led by the hand of the giant, to the city, while the on people lived there, he was being treated like a dog.

  If he had known this would happen, he would never have obeyed his brother's orders and would have helped the Artis to kill their owers aons, but it was too te and he could only curse his life as he was led away.

  Meanwhile, in the castle, Jon was having a versation aloh his wives in the garden ihe castle, while holding his two children aly rog them to keep them calm in their father's arms.

  He looked at his wives seated and decided to break the sileer a small talk about the rip he would make to Essos. "So, you've decided to stay, that's good, I'd prefer you stayed even this time and you will e with me..." Jon said to Seryna and Ygritte.

  "Yes... someone has to stay and look after the children..." Seryna spoke.

  "And someone has to take care of you..." Ygritte said as Jon smiled.

  Seryna regnant again, a fact discovered two weeks ago, so as the journey will be longer, she will stay in Artica taking care of little Jon and Lyanna, since she could breastfeed them, while Ygritte, who was nnant, would e with him.

  "Alright... I think we do it this way, it's a pity that I couldn't be together in his first year, but it is at this moment that we then Artica... for their future and for this nation to be prosperous, I will cross the sea and they will have an ideal Artica," Jon said kissing both babies.

  The women nodded as Jon turned back to look at the city. "So it's decided, let's start preparing to travel to Essos," Jon decred.
