  Thrid Person POV

  Westeros, 296 AC.

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

  It was m while Jon was eating with his family when Arya approached the table, making him raise an eyebrow at her, as she was wearing a dress with her sword at her waist.

  "We're eating, Arya... Why are ying that sword... with you?" Jon asked with a raised eyebrow, while the girl shrugged rebelliously.

  Lyanna and little Jon at the table looked on curiously as Arya approached them, giving them a big kiss on their cheeks before pig up Lyanna while Jon just watched curiously. Lyanna immediately made excited sounds at Arya, receiving kisses from her.

  Seryna and Ygritte tiheir meals peacefully while Arya tinued holding Lyanna to sit with her. Jon picked up his son, who was standing there watg, and pced him on his p to eat somethihy at the table.

  Little Jon looked at him with his green and purple eyes while his small hands clutched Jon's arm, holding him there. Jon then cut a piece of fruit and gave it to him to eat.

  "Give her this, Arya," Ygritte said, handing a ilk to Lyanna to drink. The girl nodded as she fed the little girl with the cup little by little.

  "Jon! Wind e with us, right?" Arya suddenly asked about her old friend, the child of the forest.

  "Yes... but you must behave..." Jon warned.

  "Yes!" Arya excimed as Jon o that.

  Seryna smiled at this before pg her hand on her son's head, who was on her husband's p. He looked at her while eating the piece of fruit Jon gave him and smiled back at her.

  The family tinued eating in peace for a while, iing with each other, until Jon decided to leave first, as he had responsibilities as king that day.

  "Take him, I'm going to the senate," Jon said, lifting little Jon and handing him to Seryna. He then stood up from the table ahe area with a few guards.

  Today, there would be an importaing with the entire senate, so he had to attend along with the mio decide on some ns for the kingdom while the representatives would speak for the people, not pg all the power in the hands of the selors.

  After that, he went to the cil tanize some more projects, mainly reted to the courts and the crystals, while Joo the king's greenhouse to che the tree that would produce the first crystals this year, with Seraphine and Leaf by his side to discuss the project.

  Johe greenhouse while flying Eragon a bit over the sky of Artica before returning to the castle ie afternoon. All the dragons were near Eragon's nding strip, as Jon watched with i as they approached the massive dragon.

  Eragon looked at the little ones with curiosity as they stared back at him, feeling the rge dragon's beak touch them as they were sniffed. "I want you to take care of them, uand?" Jon asked, and the dragon just sighed in firmation.

  Jon nodded satisfied before toug the dragon's head. "I also want you to help me with that when they get his kingdom, show no mercy." Jon requested, and the dragon just looked at him, uanding what he meant.

  Leaving the dragons behind, Joo his room at the end of the day, enjoying the st hours of his time in Artica. He would leave the day and made the most of his time with his children and wives as a family.

  Then the day arrived, Jon woke up quickly, finding the city i excitement. The army had already been preparing since before dawn, marg towards the puided by royal guards. Du, his military minister, would remain in Artica taking care of things if intervention with the Artica army was necessary.

  This call was more than double the st, summoning over 20,000 men to join the expedition in Essos and the eastern nds.

  Jon made sure to leave all pns for Brynden and the other mio execute while he finally headed to the port with his family. Most of the city gathered for his farewell, knowing that the king would be leaving for another and final ti.

  Tons of goods filled the ships as men shouted orders here and there. Once again, Jon was heading to his main ship with Ygritte, Arya, Wind, and his guards.

  "It looks like we have to say goodbye..." Jon murmured, looking at Seryna with their two children in her arms, as he approached to give them a final touch of farewell.

  "Good luck... and e back soon..." Jon heard Seryna say as they paid attention to their two children staring at him.

  "Yes... I will return soon and will be here to guide them as soon as possible..." Jon ented as he looked at his wife. "I probably won't be here when you give birth, but I'm sure everything will go as pnned..." Jon ented, and Seryna nodded.

  "Take as much time as you need so that you never have to leave this kingdom again, and I'll take care of our children until then." She spoke, and Jon nodded in farewell.

  Ygritte and Arya also approached Seryna as they said their goodbyes, while Jon began to head towards the ship, giving orders. Almost everyone in Artica was watg as 500 ships were filled in the few hours, wishing good luck to all who would travel south.

  "Jon... I don't want to get pregnant on this trip, alright?" Ygritte said to him on a part of the deck as he watched the other ships being filled by other Artis. He nodded.

  "Alright... we'll have more children wheurn." Jon smiled, and she nodded, not refusing the idea of being a main.

  ROOOOAAAARRRRR

  Aragon flew over the port at this moment, r as he passed over the ships but with his sapphire eyes fixed on Jon. His gaze fell on the boat as Arya entered with her friend, Wind, proudly dispying the sword she had received.

  "My king... the ships are almost ready," the captain of the main ship came up to him.

  "Great... start sailing with the first ships. The el 't aodate everything at once, so we'll begin to gather at sea outside the el." Jon gave the order, and the captain quickly nodded, shouting orders as his ship would depart first.

  "My king... I'm sure this journey will be a success." Gavron approached; there were only two ministers on his ship, this one and Junly, who would apany him to Braavos.

  Meanwhile, Darius was heading straight to Doro iate with the Martell family, or at least that was the pn. After all, Jon was ready to sever ties with Dorne if he could retrieve Rhaenys from them.

  The ship theed as others began to follow, and the el quickly began to fill as they left the kingdom, with people shouting words of good luck to them.

  "We've taken the first step... now we have the basics. It's time to establish our position in this world's ey," Jon decred. After all, he would finally open up the ey and allow Artis to create their own businesses, even the ice supply would be shared with the people, as long as the royal family retained 51% of the shares.

  This, among other businesses, would give people the freedom to create their own panies. With the trade el, it would be very easy for them to open their own businesses along these routes while using the ships.

  The statue of Artica was soo behind as they tinued along the miles of the el, entering some free folk walking along the shore watg them. But no oacked them, as the entire el was filled with ships as they headed for the sea.

  It was after hours that the frozen sea finally came into view, and they began to navigate around the icebergs, finding a pce to wait for the other ships to join them. It was a long process, so much so that it wasn't until nightfall that all 500 ships were finally gathered. Johis time to summon Serume, who was he sea, trembling, as the people followed to stay below the ships and follow them to the end of their journey.

  Then the ships began to head south during the night, passing along the coast for the few days. In Hardhome, more and more people tio gather there, and Jon ordered the route to go outside Skagos to avoid alerting the North.

  One night, while Jon was sleeping with Ygritte, he took the opportunity to guide a raven to the Wall and go to Castle Bck to see how things were there. He found a camp in front of it on this side of the Wall, where it seemed that the first kingdoms had sent their groups, bearing the banners of the Vale Arryn and the West, while others were expected to arrive the following week. Jon was not worried about them; after all, Eragon had been instructed to deal with all of them, and he could elimihousands of men whenever he wanted.

  After Skagos, they tinued heading south for a week until they finally began to see Essos on the horizon. The first stop would be Braavos, where they would see how they would be treated after their reputation for what they had done ieros.

  Meanwhile, a group of 50 ships split off from the 500, heading south, heavily armed to fay force at sea. However, they doubted that Westeros could attack them after what had happened, as they headed towards Dorne and hoped to meet the fleet to the south before moving to the southern cities of the ti and then to the Jade Sea.

  In another pce further south, in one of the coastal cities, Pentos, as the sun rose, the city began to bustle with the movement of merts and inhabitants. In one of the city's most luxurious houses, a young woman with silver hair watched the horizon with a calm expression. She was Daenerys Targaryen and knew she ureblood Targaryen, with her violet eyes refleg the sea.

  As she thought about her life and how she ended up here after all the misfortune, she and her brother mao get to Braavos while she was just a baby and lived with Ser Willem Darry, who cared for her and Viserys until his death. Sihen, the two siblings found themselves at the mercy of the generosity of the lords of Essos, moving from city to city in search of support to recim the Iron Throoday, their patron was Magister Illyrio, who had provided his house for them to live ios until it was time for her brother to ad cim the .

  As Daenerys tio gaze at the horizon, a sense of unease grew within her. News had been arriving from the west—surprising news of a new kingdom establishing itself beyond the Wall, ung an atta Westeros, aing Robert Baratheon at sea. She had been shocked when she heard about it at dinner while her brother and Illyrio versed.

  Her thoughts were suddenly interrupted as she looked to the side, seeing her brother appearing in another corridor, talking with Illyrio as they walked.

  "Are you saying we 't get involved with them?!" Viserys shouted.

  "My prince... you've heard the rumors... we ot tact that group... they are extremely dangerous... There are many rumors that their king is a sorcerer," Illyrio ented, which did not seem to satisfy Viserys, while Daenerys listened from the side without them notig.

  "They defeated the stag king!! They are my the throne of my family and what is rightfully mine!" he excimed angrily.

  "But that doesn't mean they are trustworthy... you might even take advantage of the chaos they are creating in the Seven Kingdoms... but trusting them... I wouldn't reend that..." Illyrio said firmly, insisting that the Artis should not be trusted.

  Daenerys listened in silence. "You uimate me, Illyrio..." she heard her brin to ugh. "I have something that northern savage might be ied in," he said firmly.

  "My prince... you 't be thinking..." Illyrio seemed worried.

  "These savages might be a better opportunity than ygestion to talk to the desert savages. I'm just trading one savage for another... who will be my future subjects, and I will gdly give my sister to them, as I would to those desert horses," Viserys said firmly, while Daenerys became more ed about her future and her brother's pns. She would be lying if she said she wasn't afraid of these Artis and what they could do to her.

  Viserys and Illyrio walked through the corridor, tinuing their versation until they came upon Daenerys, who quickly looked at the ground, not wanting to offend them and awaken her brother's dragon, who would hit her when that happened.

  "Dany... My dear sister..." Viserys smiled, seeing Daenerys as a valuable bargaining chip.

  "I'll be attending to some matters now, my prince..." Illyrio said as he withdrew, leaving Viserys talking to Daenerys, who looked at him with fear.

  Illyrio tinued his way through his mansion, heading to his sor. He spotted a raven perched with something tied to its leg, waiting for him. He nodded in satisfa, reizing the owner of the scroll, someone he was about to send a message to. Approag the bird, he took the message tied to its leg and sat down to read it. It was from Varys in King's Landing.

  Varys spoke of how the realm was unstable at that moment. The cil seemed to be quarreling over various matters, trying to find a way to deal with Jon Artid his powerful kingdom. They began by sendio their deaths in the north, while Tywin Lannister wao make a bold move by marrying Princess Myrcel to the king beyond the Wall. Varys also mentiohat cil members were being attacked by the sorcerer, while Baelish and Cersei seemed to be seeking a dired brutal alternative, trying to have the Arti killed by a Faceless Man.

  But Tywin saportunity, believing he could access Arti resources despite what had happened. He seemed to see much to gain by allying with the group. Illyrio didn't know what was worse: the Targaryens f an alliah the Artis or even the Lannisters. He khis would plicate all his pns, and he and Varys were w to ehe people of the north did er into an alliah anyone else, aiming to isote them and deal with them iure.

  He quickly grabbed a quill and began writing a report to his trusted friend ieros. '...We must destroy any alliahey may form. After all, our best didate for the Iron Throne is in the Golden pany. In a few years, he will be ready to cim that seat and rule Westeros... as is his right.' Illyrio wrote as he finished, pg it ba the raven and sending it westward.

  Illyrio wondered what the moves of the Artis would be after what had happened with Westeros. After all, Varys's little birds spoke of rumors about the Artis pnning to e to Essos as well, seeking trade.

  But he didn't know if this move would happen soon... after all, their reputation wasn't the best, and he was sure that other cities besides Braavos would be afraid to open their ports to them.

  If they came to Pentos iure, would he allow their entry? His city could be sacked, or he could even allow them to have tact with the Targaryens. He should do everything to prevent that. After all, Illyrio o accelerate his pns against the two siblings, wanting to remove them from the game for the pyer to ehe game of thrones.

  Illyrio didn't yet know that the Artis already had a fleet approag Braavos. Only a few ships had spotted them, but none could match the speed of those ships, which were passing other boats as they headed to Braavos at that very moment.

  In another part of Essos, where a mountain full of voloes tio erupt from time to time, with rivers of va flowing across the nd filled with smoke a, deep within some of these mountains, a beast had remained dormant for thousands of years, sleeping silently, waiting to be awakened.

  Horses ran across the desert as rge groups of men shouted, heading toward Vaes Dothrak to face their gods.

  In Meereen and other sver cities, the sve owners tiheir luxurious lives, keeping many sves to serve them.

  Farther east, the culture was very different from Westeros or even Essos. Rice fields stretched for thousands of square kilometers, with people wearing bamboo hats w to harvest and pce the grains in straw baskets on their backs, tinuing this practice for hours.

  A group of horses suddenly passed by them, heading toward a rge city in the distahey wore strange armor with military helmets very different from what was used by soldiers ieros, and their swords were curved. They rode into the city, passing through the gates where spearmen stood guard, allowing them entry.

  They rode through the city until they spotted a rge castle in the ter. They quickly entered and proceeded ihey were greeted by a person who came to meet them.

  The three samurai quickly bowed to this person, a woman covered in many scarves to keep her body cealed. "Princess Kozuki Hiyori!" they said as the woman nodded.

  "e, my father is waiting for you," she said as they followed her into the Japayle castle. There, a man sat on the floor in a room, watg them attentively as they bowed once more.

  "Lord Shimura..." the man said.

  "Shogun-sama," the samurai greeted.

  "Sit, let's talk," the Shogun of Yi Ti said calmly.

  Ra Here:

  Yi-Ti is inally represented as a, but I don't know much about them, so I will refer to it as Japan or even a mix of both, though I am leaning more towards the game Ghost of Tsushima. The names of One Piece characters are limited to just the names. I liked using those names as a reference, so you won't see anythied to One Piece here.
