Chapter 301: The Sun Hasn't Shined Yet II
(Third Person POV)
[Harrenhal]
"Look, Vaella." Sylas said as he held a doll in front of her, "Your doll, the one that Father got for you."
Vaella simply laughed as she reached for it, a bright smile on her face as they were both sitting on a blanket laid out on the floor. Sylas would shake the doll and make his sister laugh while he smiled slightly.
As this happened, Maegelle was sitting on a couch seeing them play. Behind Sylas and Vaella, Riktor was holding a doll in front of Astorias who was being held by a maid.
Maegelle simply smiled, "My beautiful children...." She said, "The mere sight of you spending time together makes me happy...."
Riktor was smiling as he held the doll in front of Astorias, "Here, try to take it Astorias." He said, "Go on."
Astorias would swipe her tiny hands for the doll, and Riktor would pull it away, laughing about it as the girl would begin to get frustrated.
Astorias pouted and reached for the doll and Riktor simply chuckled.
"I am merely playing, Sister." He said, "Here."
He gave her the doll but the girl was still pouting angrily. Riktor had leaned in a bit closer to her and Astorias simply swung the doll at his face, smacking him.
"Ah!" He exclaimed, "Astorias!"
She merely pouted angrily and kept swinging the doll.
"Princess!" the maid exclaimed, "Calm down..."
She pulled her away as the girl pouted angrily, her face going red.
"Oh my." Maegelle said, "Astorias, calm down, my dear. There is no need to hit your brother, get along."
Riktor rubbed his cheek, "So violent...."
Astorias dropped the doll, and tears formed in her eyes, looking right at Riktor with an angry look.
"Why are you doing this?" Riktor muttered
"Well well well...." Drakken said as he stood in the room, appearing out of nowhere, "My children are getting along, I take it...?"
"Father." Sylas said as he looked at him, "You're back."
Maegelle smiled at him, "Hello, Drakken." She said, "You finally returned. I hope nothing too bad happened...."
Astorias's eyes lit up and she tried to crawl out of the maid's arms, reaching for her father as she let out an excited shout.
Drakken walked over to her, "Come here." He said as he bent over and picked her up, the girl's laughter was quite loud, "You little spoiled girl....."
Riktor looked at him, "You're the one that spoils her...." He frowned, "She just hit me and she's acting like nothing happened."
Drakken held Astorias who clutched on his shirt, looking at him with a bright smile on her face, "What did you do to get her to hit you?" He asked, "You have Future Sight and you couldn't avoid that?"
Riktor looked away, "Well...why would I use it on my little sister....."
Drakken walked over to Vaella who was clapping and looking at him, "You too, come here." He said as he picked her up with one arm, "My beautiful girls...."
As he straightened up, he had both of his daughters in his arms, a sight that warmed Maegelle's heart. Both of them looked at their father with so much love in their eyes that one would think it was a completely different person who held them; one who was not the God of War and Death.
"Are we going to train, Father?" Sylas asked
"Not today." Drakken said as he walked over to Maegelle, "Go and get some sleep, boys."
"Not tired...." Sylas said
"Go on and do it, regardless." He sat down next to Maegelle, "Tomorrow, we do something more than training. I take you to the battlefield along me."
Riktor stood up, "Really?" He asked, "That is nice!"
"What?" Maegelle asked with a frown, "No, Drakken, they are too young."
"It does not matter." Drakken said as Astorias was pulling on his cheek while Vaella leaned against his chest, drifting to sleep, "They will accompany me. Where are Mya and Saera?"
"Saera is asleep. Dealing with Astorias all day exhausted her. Mya is in the sub-basement..." Maegelle said
"Hm." Drakken said, "Boys, go to sleep. I am serious."
"Let us go, brother." Riktor said, "Tomorrow is a great day."
They both walked out of the room as Drakken looked at his daughters with a slight smile on his face.
"Drakken..." Maegelle said
"It is a joyous day." Drakken said, "I've done it."
"You've done what?" Maegelle asked
Drakken looked at her, "I've gotten your parents to my side...." he said,
"To The Trinity."

[King's Landing]
"M-My.....siblings....?" Daenerys said softly as Alysanne was combing her hair, "All of them...?"
Alysanne smiled, "Yes, my dear...." She said softly, "Your siblings...."
They were in the Queen's bedchambers; Aemon, Baelon, Alyssa, Daella,Viserra, and the young Gael. They were called by their mother after the incident and despite Baelon's frustration, he was shocked to hear that their long dead sister was suddenly back to life.
"Gods...." Aemon said as he looked at her, "S-She.....looks exactly like she did before she got ill.....Daenerys...."
Daenerys looked at him, "You are....Aemon?"
Aemon nodded, his eyes widened with surprise, "Yes...."
"You...." She said, "You're so tall...and.....all of them.....she does look like she would be my sister..."
She pointed at Gael, who was hiding behind Daella's skirt, clutching it.
"She is Gael, Daenerys....." Alysanne ran her hand through her hair, "Your youngest sibling....your sister...."
Baelon looked at Daenerys, "Daenerys....our sister..." He said, "I....I cannot even believe this....she....I didn't remember her that much....."
Daenerys looked at him, "That is Baelon?" She asked Alysanne, "The little babe....?"
Alysanne leaned in and kissed her cheek, "Yes, my dear." She said, "He is the little one that you remember was clutching onto the wetnurse's tit...."
"Okay, when you put it like that..." Baelon muttered
"She looks younger than Rhaella...." Aemon said, "I have daughters older than she was when she died.....Baelon's son is the same.....I...this is simply surreal....."
Daenerys blinked, "You have....children?" She said as she looked at the others, "And who are they?"
Daella smiled, "I...I am Daella...." She said softly, "I've heard so much about you from Mother, sister....this is a bit unusual...."
"Tell me about it...." Alyssa said, "I was born after she died....I...this is also too much for even me...."
Viserra looked at Daenerys, "This...." She said softly, "This is a gift from Drakken...."
Alysanne looked at her, "What?"
"You....you accepted it....didn't you?" Viserra asked
All eyes were on Viserra, who simply looked at Daenerys with awe.
"Viserra...." Aemon said, "What are you....."
"I see it...." Viserra said softly, "Drakken's grace.....she exudes it..."
"We're now in his debt...."
