Chapter 6 - Political Dealings

An hour later, he was dressed and cleaned again, the next ambassador was let up by Crain. To his surprise it was someone he had looked forward even more than his last visitor. A small man walked up the last step of the long staircase.

"For fucks sake, you would think a wizard would be able to have a home where he doesn't have to walk an eternity." the man said, but his companion, a woman in a black leather outfit, just rolled her eyes.

"I greet you great..." the woman started and paused to signal that she didn't know his name.

"Jake."

"Great Jake. My Companion" she gestured towards the smaller man "and I have been sent here to discuss your intentions in Westeros and Essos."

"And also to see the supposed miracles you can create." said the man.

"Well I hope you like what you see so far." replied Jake "to be honest I'm not quite sure about my intentions quite yet, but we'll see after I've talked to all parties that came, on how or if I interfere in this game of thrones you've got going."

"Smart move" commented the man.

"So who am I speaking to?" asked Jake, knowing fully well who they were.

"I am Tyrion Lannister, Brother to the Queen Regent and Hand of Daenerys Targaryen rightful heir to the Seven Kingdoms. And this here" he gestured to the attractive woman "is Missandei, confidant of Daenerys Targaryen."

"Well, Tyrion, Missandei I am glad to meet you. You have probably heard rumors about me and what I'm capable of. Just know that most of what you heard is true and I'm capable of so much more."

"What would that entail?" asked Tyrion.

"Wouldn't you like to know... but I won't spoil the surprise. You will see in time."

"We were sent here to discuss your intentions." Missandei cut in. "So what are you planning on doing? If you are truly as powerful as you claim you surely want the Iron Throne for yourself..."

"Let me stop you right there. I have no interest to rule, that seems way too exhausting. But I won't let a madman rule either. So I guess my intentions are dependent on your Queens intentions. Maybe I should talk to her instead." he suggested

"That will be difficult." said Tyrion "We were sent here because Daenerys is in Essos and can't take the long journey upon herself and leave her following behind."

"Lets see about that." Jake said and started drawing a circle into the air in front of him. As he finished the circle a scenery came into vision. They saw a room overlooking an entire city and in that room sat the hot headed, blonde queen they followed. Her back was to the portal so she didn't see it materializing from thin air.

"But, but how?" asked Missandei, upon which Daenerys head snapped around, seeing the portal her eyes started to widen.

"Missandei, Tyrion... I thought you are in Westeros..."

"But we are my Queen" said Missandei "this is him" she pointed at Jake.

Daenerys eyes wandered over to him, still sitting on his throne. "Come over, your followers told me you want to discuss intentions."

She slowly walked up to the portal, hesitantly she stuck he index finger through it. As she noticed that no harm came upon her she stepped through.

"Welcome to my little domain." Jake welcomed her. "So what did you want to talk about?"

"Will you try to stop me from taking back my birthright?" she asked with a glare.

"Nope why would I? But I think I may unify the lands north of the wall. But that shouldn't concern you."

"Okay then I guess that's it." she turned around and was about to walk back through the portal when Tyrion spoke up "My Queen, if what he says is true he could be of great help to you, just think about it. Your dragons and his magic, who would be able to stop you?"

Daenerys turned back to Jake. "Would you be willing to do that?"

"I won't directly interfere in the conflicts." he replied

"But indirectly, you would?" asked Tyrion.

"Well not for free."

"What do you want for your help?" asked Daenerys.

"Well what do you offer?"

"One of the Seven Kingdoms, you would just have to answer to me." suggested Daenerys.

"I already said I'm not interested in ruling."

"How about gold?"

"Do I look like I need money?" he replied

"What than?" she asked.

"How about you owe me?" he suggested.

Daenerys looked conflicted for a while but agreed in the end.

Daenerys and Tyrion had left back to Essos after their talk was finished but Missandei had stayed to represent their interests in his Domain.

"Missandei, there is a house ready for you at the ground. Crain will show you which one. I'll keep in touch but first I have a meeting with the two man from the wall."

Jake sent her back down and soon received the two man. One was clad in fine cloth while the other was wearing simple black clothing.

"Jon Snow and Stannis Baratheon, nice to meet you. As your new neighbor I should've come to you to introduce myself. I'm so sorry for letting you wait but now you are here. My name is Jake and I recently moved here." he introduced himself.

Stannis spoke up first. "Thank you for your hospitality. But I'm not here on some friendly visit, my army is positioned at the wall and our supply lines have been interrupted. My men are starving. I came here to ask you for food."

"That does sound unfortunate. But I can't send my men out with supplies, I am truly sorry but they will stay in my domain. If you were to bring your men here you can pick up all the supplies you need but if your men would want to stay, they'd be under my protection. I hope you catch my thrift."

"Yes, I'll have to think about it, excuse me" said Stannis and walked back down to his advisors.

Now only Jon and Jake remained. "So what do you need Jon?"

"I don't know. I guess I don't need anything. This world is just tiring me out, there are real dangers but people keep bickering. Everyone that is important to me keeps dying or goes missing and I just want to rest somewhere, where all the people I care about are safe."

"Let's see... I think I have a solution that could help us both. How would you feel about managing this domain. I could grant you powers to protect everyone inside but you couldn't leave anymore without losing your powers."

"Could I leave and take people here that are important to me?" he asked

"Sure you can, just come back when you have a decision."
