Alister Dayne entered through the great gate of Sunspear, his son at his side and a small squad.
He could recognize several people at the entrance, Oberyn Martell was the main figure, along with his daughter Tyene Arena.
"Time has passed, Alister," the prince said confidently.
"Oberyn," he greeted and they continued on their way.
Alister knew the meeting was secret, not many knew about it.
Only the Martells, Dayne, Allyrion, Vaith, Yronwood, and Uller.
They all headed towards the meeting room where Doran was waiting for them. When Alister and Edric entered, they could see all the people waiting for them.
Doran Martell was waiting for them sitting, to his right was Princess Arianne. Edric could not help but feel captivated by the beautiful and sensual princess, as beautiful as her cousins the Sand Snakes, although also more manipulative.
Oberyn sat to his left side with his lover, Ellaria Sand.
Next to him was Ellaria's father, the Uller lord, Harmen Uller. In his mid-forties, his hair was full of white and his eyes were grey.
At his side, the lord of the Yronwood, Anders Yronwood. A muscular, blond man with brown eyes. And the one whom Prince Doran trusts the most among all the lords, perhaps because the son of this Quentyn Martell was his disciple.
On the east side, Daeron Vaith, the lord of the Red Dunes, about fifty, bald and blue-eyed.
Finally the last man, Ser Ryon Allyrion, son-in-law of Anders Yronwood. About twenty-six years old, with light brown hair and black eyes.
"Welcome," said Doran.
Edric and his father bowed their heads.
The meeting continued as scheduled, Anders Yronwood was worried about the Flowers' strange movements.
But Doran didn't give it any importance for the moment.
"Now, let's discuss what we're really here for... Aegon Targaryen" he said.
An awkward silence fell over the room.
"I still don't believe it," Ryon Allyrion whispered.
Oberyn nodded.
"It was a pleasant surprise to learn the truth, but my lords, I can confirm that Aegon and Rhaenys are very much alive, and married to families with great armies," said the red snake.
The others remained nervous.
"How will Dorne respond to this?" Lord Uller asked.
"They are my aunt Elia's children," Arianne said.
Doran raised his hand to silence her.
"I understand, princess, I will be the first to support them, but that is not my question" replied the lord of the Ullers.
"What Lord Uller is asking is whether Dorne will support this now, or wait for it to become public," Ryon Allyrion informed.
Edric looked nervous and it did not go unnoticed by Doran.
"Edric, is there a problem?" he asked.
The others saw it.
His father sighed at his son's lack of self-control.
Doran looked at him.
"My son feels uncomfortable with the situation, the Daynes have responded to Aegon's news" he replied.
The others remained silent.
Oberyn blinked.
Doran frowned.
Alister Dayne simply reached into his clothes and pulled out a crumpled letter.
The Sunspear prince's personal guard, Areo Hotah, a towering warrior, took it and brought it to Doran.
The Prince of Dorne read it carefully, then remained silent for a few minutes.
The others waited for his reaction.
It was strange.
Doran had such a sharp mind, he could solve problems in seconds, yet the letter left him thoughtful.
Oberyn and Arianne were dying to know the contents, but they did nothing.
"So Eddard Stark will take Ashara as his second wife" he muttered.
The room erupted into murmurs.
The Daynes were impartial.
"It's good and bad... I understand the situation, if your father were alive, I imagine he would dance on the table" Doran said.
Alister nodded.
"It's no secret that he always wanted Ned Stark as a son-in-law, even after Arthur's death he continued to esteem him, my son's own nickname was said after him," said Alister.
Doran nodded.
"That's a foregone conclusion, it won't be much of a problem, Aegon is married to Sansa Stark, which in itself gives us a blood alliance, another with Ned Stark gives us practically a brotherhood, the North and Dorne... Interesting" admitted Doran.
"We still have to be careful, until the wedding takes place, I prefer that this information does not leave here" the others heard Daeron Vaith.
Doran nodded and looked at Alister.
"Who else knows? " he asked.
" The letter came to me directly, the Master has not opened it yet... Only me and my son" he said.
"Unless someone untrustworthy has heard us," Edric said.
The others frowned.
His father looked at him coldly.
"Don't be afraid, the boy distrusts his cousin, but he didn't listen to us...He doesn't know anything" he said.
Edric snorted.
The others thought it was childish, but they didn't say anything.
Arianne remembered her former lover, good in bed, but ambitious.

Tywin Lannister looked at Darkstars letter.
"So it's time" he whispered.
"Father?" Cersei asked.
"The Martells betrayed us" he reported.
"Myrcella?" she asked worriedly.
Tywin looked at her.
"Do not fear, daughter. His betrayal is secret, I will make sure my granddaughter is safe" he promised.
"What will you do?" she asked.
"I will take care of the Martells, the Daynes. And all our enemies... A Lannister always pays his debts" He said.
Without saying another word, the old Lion began writing letters to his allies in Dorne.
"This alliance will be broken before it starts, it's time"

Robb looked intently at the white room, he had leveled up on the way, thanks to the battles he had in Pentos and another one before arriving in Meeren. He was level 32 with 4 skill points.
He headed to Meeren by ship after taking Pentos and leaving the men of Valyria in charge of the city.
He was undecided at first, whether to help Jon in Qarth, return to Volantis, or help his sisters-in-law in Meeren.
He opted for the latter, to make a good impression. He met Rhaenys and Daenerys in Valyria, but he still didn't have much confidence and because of the bad blood between their families, he considered that helping them in Meeren would be better than helping Jon.
Their ships were approaching the battle, he could see in the distance the explosions of the ships being ravaged by dragons.

Daenerys continued to attack, Yiti's ships had joined those in the open sea and she could barely handle them all.
Both Rhaenys and her, went up 3 levels in battle, and had 2 skill points to use, in addition to having obtained a skill level, they were at skill level 2, and she could now get help from animals around, while Rhaenys could turn her body into fire for ten minutes.
It was an impressive skill that helped her burn more and more ships but there were too many.
"Dracarys" she exclaimed, the dragon threw a flame at the ships and they exploded, Daenerys felt a light and reached the white room, she went to the computer.

The girl looked with interest and left the room.
Her dragon turned looking at something.
Daenerys watched as more ships approached.
"That flag...Stark?" she asked.
XXXXXXXXXXXXX
Rhaenys looked on in her fire form as others approached her, the girl could not be hurt, not mortally in this form, as the fire would re-join if hit.
But it hurt when they attacked her.
The girl wrapped in fire, trapped enemies, burned the ship's wood, incinerated everything she touched.
She would have liked her cousins to come with her, they would surely be surprised, no doubt Nymeria would say something like 'you're hot', but Oberyn sent them a letter with some news from Dorne that the queen didn't know what it was, although it had something to do with the Starks and it seemed like good news.
Obara and Nymeria decided to return to Dorne for a while or until they were ordered to return to Essos.
The queen incinerated another mercenary, and her eyes glowed for a moment as she entered the white room.
She sighed tiredly, her transformation disappeared and she went to the computer.

Earth: Your body becomes earth for ten minutes.}
The girl looked at it curiously, and left the room.
"The fire is out," said the mercenaries.
They smiled when they saw her.
"Earth" she whispered.
Her body turned brown and she looked at them.
They saw in horror and attacked with arrows, but the arrows did not do any harm, and the woman hit a mercenary.
He felt no pain and flew through the air.
Rhaenys smiled wickedly and snapped her fingers.
[T/N: That wasn't a mistake, she insta-killed him.]
XXXXXXXXXXXX
Robb boarded yet another ship and joined Rhaenys.
"Hey brother-in-law," Rhaenys said, hitting a mercenary.
Robb raised his eyebrow at her.
Rhaenys suddenly stood still for a second, Robb saw her and knew she had moved up a level, he knew that when they went to the room the bodies stayed where they were and only the minds traveled, luckily in the room time did not pass so they could be there for hours, and in the world, only a second would pass at most, and as he predicted she returned to her body without the rock magic, a second before summoning it again.
Rhaenys leveled up to level 7 with one skill point.
A Dragon appeared, with a woman on it, her eyes were white, as she possessed the dragon.
' A skin-changing ability ' the boy thought in wonder.
Suddenly the dragon stood completely still.
"She's leveled up," Robb muttered as he watched Daenerys come back to her senses.
"Robb Stark" greeted the queen.
"I'll support you here, Your Majesty" he informed.
Danny nodded.
"Rae. Get on, we'll go for the ones in the west" she said.
Jon Snow's first wife climbed onto the dragon, Robb watched them head west.
"Come on, buddy," he said to his wolf.
" Let's get started " he heard in his head.
Robb launched an attack against Yiyi's mercenaries.
His wolf leapt and devoured everything in front of him.
Once they finished with one ship, they moved on to the next.
"They will not pass" the boy heard and saw a group of Mercenaries approaching.
"Physical aura" he muttered.
His speed was greater than any Yiti mercenary had ever seen.
He decapitated the first one without any problems.
The others looked at each other in confusion at such speed, and Grey Wind rushed towards them.
"Aura of the elements" He also cast.
His sword burst into flames and he attacked mercilessly.
The mercenaries fell one after another and the boy found himself in the white room.
He went to the computer and saw that he had leveled up to level 33 with six skill points and he also saw that Grey Wind had leveled up as well.
{Name: Grey Wind
Familiar
Level 6
Howl: Calls the Direwolf Troop immediately.}
The boy smiled and left the room.
He saw the ships retreat.
"They are retreating, sir," said a soldier.
"Don't allow it, eliminate them" Robb finished.
The soldier at his side was giving out orders.
"Follow them and finish them off!"
[T/N: If you allow them to leave then they can regroup with new information and allies for revenge.]

Doran looked at Oberyn.
"It's time, after so long" the prince muttered.
"Yes, for Elia...Revenge" whispered the red snake.
The engagement between Eddard Stark and Ashara Dayne was the last thing the Martells needed.
They had their armies.
Their resources.
The Lannisters were losing battle after battle.
It was time to avenge his sister.
"To Aegon" Doran toasted.
"For Sansa" Oberyn laughed.
His brother smiled.
His nephew married a woman who was the daughter of the man who was causing so much destruction, causing Tywin so many defeats.
Not counting Valyria.
Everything was finally going in his favor after so much time.
"Let's not waste time, take three thousand men to Stony Road," said Doran.
" A specific defense? " he asked.
"You are a soldier, I am a politician, once the wedding is over, we can talk to Ned Stark, until then let's prepare our men," he said.
"What about the rest? The Flowers?" he asked.
"We'll see about that later, now let's focus on preparing our men," he said.
"I will leave tomorrow," promised the red serpent of Dorne.
Doran nodded.
' The Flowers move strangely, but so do the Qorgyle and Manwoody ' he thought.
' Maybe I'll meet some of them, at least to see what they have to say ' thought Doran.

Tywin smiled as he looked at the letter in his hands.
"A Lannister always pays his debts."
[T/N: Hopefully this old decrepit corpse gets killed before he can do shit.]
