Dorne, 295 AC.
---------------------------------------
We present, with immense resped honor, the arrival of the Northern Delegation with the iion of creating a bond of friendship with Dorne. Jon Arctic, leader of the Arctic, apanied by the noble Ladies Ygritte and Seryna, his wives who also carry his name, and by the valiant Lady Arya Stark of Winterfell, followed by his ministers and guards!
"May the gates of Sunspear open to receive these illustrious visitors, whose jourhrough distant nds reflects their tireless search for friendship and strong alliances. May tonight be a milestone of union and celebratioween our peoples."
As the herald cluded his annou, Jon's delegation advanced majestically through the hall, with Jon at the forefront, fnked by Ygritte and Seryna. Arya followed closely behind, with a posture that blended elegand readiness, while the ministers and guards pleted the procession with dignity.
The gaze of all those present was turowards them, some with admiration, others with curiosity, but all reizing how uhis group was, for the iions that would follow throughout the night.
..
..
Jon calmly led the group past the herald after they announced flowery words aered the Dornish hall. There were some bards pying musi a er, while some nobles were scattered around the pce talking among themselves and drinking wine, but there were not many of them, as this ba was something p the st minute.
In the middle of the pce, there was the main table with the Martell family, so Joo them, as it was his etiquette to greet his host. Then, arriving in front of the main table, Doran took the initiative to greet him, while Jon g Nyra.
"Wele, e join us as uests, House Martell will be pleased to have you with us," Doran spoke formally, and Jon nodded and began to sit at the table before iing with all the uests.
After settling down, with his wives and closest brother, followed by the ministers, Jon was o Doran Martell, where the Martell family took up half of the table and Arctic the other side. Soon, servants began t Dorne's specialties, pg numerous dishes from the desert kingdom oable.
"I hope our food is to your liking, Lord Jon," Doran spoke calmly.
"I have ried the spice of Dorne, so let's see," Jon spoke, he did not mind being called Lord, after all, he could uand that calling him king might cause problems with the in King's Landing, so for him, it was all right.
In the ter of the table, three main dishes stood out, inviting not only by their aroma but also by their presentation. A ptter of lemon and garlic chi with herbs exuded a citrus fragrance, promising a taste that banced acidity with the warmth of spices. o it, a baked fish boasted a golden crust of Dornish spices—pepper, , and corias suct flesh inviting immediate tasting. pleting the trio, a mb drizzled with mint and honey sauce shone uhe light, the sweetness of the honey perfectly trasting with the freshness of the mint, creating a harmonious bawee and savory.
The side dishes were no less splendid. An e and olive sad brought fresho the table, with its vibrant colors a fvor enhang the pate. Stuffed peppers with rid herbs offered a visual and gustatory delight, their interiors full of fvor aure. There was also bread, fresh from the oven, served alongside extra-virgin olive oil and garlibsp;
Jon began to serve himself, tasting the Dornish food with satisfa, it could not be better than Arctic food, but it certainly had its fvor, and Jon did not mind having the food apanied by pepper.
"It's great food, I admit," Jon ented while apanying the chi with pepper.
"I'm gd you liked it," Doran nodded.
"It's quite spicy..." Ygritte said talking to the women around her.
"It is really spicy, but I liked it," Arya spoke up taking fish.
"I also did not mind," Seryna ented.
"Leaving the food aside, look at those women looking at Jon," Ygritte spoke to Seryna.
"It's not the first time this happens, even in the Arctic the women do the same, especially the single ones," Seryna spoke, both at the table and among the other nobles, women looked at Jon with i, since he was the main attra of the party. His wives were also eyed, beiic beauties for the Dornish, but none of them cared for it, they were disgusted by it.
Jon didn't care either, but his wives were thinking something else. "However... that Nyra... Jon is ied," Seryna spoke to Ygritte on the side.
"If she's at least not like that sister of yours," Ygritte spoke, as none approved of Arianne Martell.
The dinner tinued, and Oberyn and Doran's children hardly ied, as the versation tinued between Jon and Doran.
"We haven't talked much about your journey, you must have spent a good time at sea, right?" Doran asked, initiating a versation and wanting to know more about this boy.
"A bit, Prince Doran. We had some minor issues with a pirate and a storm at sea, but we mao get through all of that quite well," Jon said in a ral tone.
"That's great, I saw yiants after we said goodbye the first time, I was quite fasated, I never imagined seeing such creatures, how did you tame them?" Doran asked curiously.
"I didn't tame them, I had to fight with some, of course," Jon said, ign Doran's skeptical look before tinuing, "I think of it as a partnership between two peoples, I created a nd where everyone thrive beyond the wall, and we all work for these same nds, which today are Arctic, to prosper so that everyone live well, whether it be ercially or militarily, we all work towards a on goal." Jon said these words and tasted the Dornish wine.
"That's fasating, your story is quite inspiring, have you ever thought you might bee famous for doing things no one else has done for thousands of years?" Doran asked.
"Maybe, but the things that end up in books will depend on who writes them," Jon spoke, looking towards the hall where some people began to danbsp;
"..." Doran fell silent but said in the end, "Depend on whom?"
Journed his gaze, while the members of the Martell family looked at him at that moment, siheir versation was quite loud. "It depends on who writes, whether they are our allies or the desdants of our old enemies, after all, Arctic has no enemies," Jon said, and Doran raised an eyebrow, this boy clearly was suggesting he would eliminate anyone.
Even Oberyn, who was a bit gruff, looked at Jon with a surprised look, he had to admit this boy was quite brave to say those words.
Nyra was silent, watg the words, while Arianne seemed to be having an asm with that look.
"Hahaha. That's very iing," Doran spoke with a ugh, but Jon could feel he was just putting on a social mask now.
"Anyway, let's tihe ba with more positive things," Doran spoke, wanting to ge the subject. Jon and the others nodded.
"What's that?" Arya at one point poio some nobles on the lower side.
"They are eating scorpions," Seryna ented calmly.
"And that's supposed to be normal?" She asked with a somewhat strange look.
"The people of Dorne like to eat some uhings, Lady Stark," Doran answered Arya without seeming offended, just smiling and looking at the girl. "Perhaps you might get used to life in Dorne," he suggested, making Jon raise an eyebrow.
'This guy wants to fish my sister for one of his sons?' Jon looked at him for a while, but he had no trol over it, his sister roving to bee aremely beautiful and elegant woman, he was sure it wouldn't be the first time this happened, but his father should deal with it and mainly Arya, as he taught her to make her own path and would support and defend her in any marriage she would have iure, as long as she chose a lifelong marriage, then she should choose very well.
Arya just shrugged, already uanding Doran's hint, but didn't want to offend him, as Jon wouldn't approve of her words, and she decided to remain silent. Jon tialking about Dorh Doran, wanting to uand more about the climate, animals, and the kind of foods they cultivate in the desert.
The versation tinued as they ate until the whole pce was dang. Jon looked at his wives, "Why don't we dance a little?" Jon said, and Seryna smiled, being the first.
"You go, I think I better not, this food made me feel a bit sick," Ygritte said, and Jon approached her, slightly worried about his wife.
"How's the baby?" He said, pg his hand oomad using his healing unnoticed.
"I'm fine, just a bit nauseous. You should go, I'll be okay, after all, you have to talk to other nobles," she said, and Jon nodded, albeit relutly.
"Take care of her," Jon warned Arya, who nodded in agreement.
Jon then desded to the main table with his giantess in a gray dress aered along with some nobles, without them giving a better look at them.
Jon started a small dance, ohey had in the Arctic at some events. Jon learo dahrough green vision and taught Seryna, who had quickly learhinking of having these moments with the man she loved.
Then, without much highlight, they pced their hand on the waist of her dress and took another while their feet followed the rhythm of the bards, dang among the other nobles without Jon taking his eyes off Seryna's crystallized blue eyes.
The musitinued as they daogether until another song started to py, and they tinued dang with each other. Four songs had passed until Seryna sighed.
"I think you o talk to some Dornish nobles," she said, looking to one side where many were staring at him, waiting to talk to the man who owned a fleet of 200 ships and anded giants with unique products.
Jon nodded, having had enough dances with his wife for the night. He saw her return to the main table while he walked up to a servant, grabbing a drink in the middle of the pce. It didn't take long for the o approach him like vultures, eager to establish a e with this intriguing visitor from the North, approag with a mix of curiosity and respect. Among them, a middle-aged man with a ing expression and a young woman with her gaze fixed on Jon while he took a wine dance alone approached. The man, whom Joo be a veteran in politid diplomacy, took the lead.
"Lord Jon," the man begaending his hand iing. "I am Alvan Gargalen, and this is my niece, Vilia Gargalen. It's a great pleasure to have you with us in Dorne. Your deeds north of the Wall are the subjeany versations at this bahough many seem skeptical, I ot say my eyes are lying." The man spoke calmly.
Jon, with his etiquette, accepted the greeting. "The pleasure is mine, Largalen, Lady Vilia. Dorne has always fasated me with its rich history and diverse culture. I am happy to visit this pce for the first time," Jon spoke diplomatically.
Vilia, with a spark of boldness in her eyes, intervened. "And we are equally fasated, Lord Jon. It's said that you and giants and have a special bond with wolves, I saw your animal, it's like the Starks of old," she said with a slightly shy smile, and her unodded in approval of his niece's words.
Jon had to avoid raising an eyebrow, already knowing what was happening here. But he smiled and remained ral, not even g that the girl was trying to seduce him. He just smiled. "I haven't lived as the a Starks to know how they were. But the giants are valuable allies and the wolves are part of my family by blood, just as my sister has her wolf," he said.
Alvan watched attentively before speaking again, now with instru and praise. "We're making some visits iy, when we heard about a huge fleet in the southern sea. Did you build it a long time ago? It's said to be one of the most formidable in the known world. Words from the people of Stepstone," he said.
"The fleet took a good while. But lenty of skilled engineers and builders in the Arctic. This is our first
movement outside our nds, so we are happy it's quite impactful," Jon firmed with a satisfied smile.
"Besides the giants, I heard you have imps! I thought they were used to eain people iers!" Vilia said suddenly.
Hearing this, Jon's smile faded; he khe girl wao talk to him, but speaking ill of his people right in front of him was something he did not take well. "I would appreciate if you showed some respey people; they are not part of a circus. Like the giants, they are a race of their own, stronger and more ingenious than us humans," Jon spoke sharply.
Alvan swallowed hard at this. "I beg your pardon for my niece, she is not well acquainted with the world," he said in an apologetie and looked sternly at his niece, who lowered her head in shame.
Jon sighed internally, knowing he would have to deal with these situations for the rest of the night, but he o gain knowledge of some houses and create a bond with them for his rade work.
The versation tinued after that, and the maried to push his owards Jon, saying what would be a third wife to someone who already has 2, but Jon mao skillfully dodge that while other nobles approached him. The versatio on, and Jon began to stand out as he talked with many nobles.
This was not a surprise to him, but many were quite impressed with his courtesy and not just his oratory skills but his ability to lead versations and everaformation he wanted from the nobles without them even realizing.
"Attention everyone! Prince Doran Martell requests everyone's attention!" The Herald annou one point while Jon was still talking. Doran requested everyone's attention at the main table, while he could not stand up due to his gout.
"I am pleased that everyone is quite fortable here, but now I will begin the main reason for tonight, the Arctic products, supplied by Jon Arctic with his opening of trade. I hope everyone enjoys them as I did, you will nret it," he announced ingly, after all, he wao receive Jon's products as a supplier and resell them to enrich the Martell family.
A momehe main door opened and they began t in numerous Arctic items that Jon had asked them to pce at the ba. What stood out the most, that everyone wao see there, was the ice from the north, brought in rge boxes with Arctic symbols and runes while pg them in the middle of the ba.
Doran looked at Jon at that moment, and Jon nodded. "Minister Junly, you present our products?" Jon requested, and Junly nodded. "Yes, my king," he said and began to move away from the main table with everyone looking on strangely, but Junly was Arctid called Jon by his true title.
Junly positioned himself in front of the products, with numerous boxes of id beverages, beginning to talk about them while everyone looked on with i. Jon was silent at that moment, watg through a window, and after seeing that his wives were talking with Arya while having their own guards, he decided to get some air.
Stepping out of the ba and looking at the steltion in the sky, he breathed in the air that cooled the desert night with satisfa. While he spent some time doing this, he felt someone approag, and it didn't take long to feel that feeling as he turo see Nyra Sand in a purple dress.
"You know... I used to look up at this sky a lot when I was younger," she started with a tone of appreciation.
"..." Jon said nothing, just returning his gaze to where the girl was looking.
"It calmed me, reminding me of a happier time, even being small, still remembering what my mother was like aouch," she ented.
"Did she die a long time ago?" Jon asked, already knowing that it might be the girl's true identity.
"Yes, when I was 3 years old, something very bad happened..." she said with a sad tone. "I lost everything that night," she spoke, but did not eborate further.
"So, you were not from here?" Jon just asked without looking at her now.
"Yes, I did not live here, then I came to live with my father..." she said, and Jon could sense her lie. She tinued.
"You know... I feel strah you... Do you feel the same?" she suddenly asked.
Jon was silent for a while before finally speaking. "Yes..." he said without turning to her.
She turned her gaze back. "You know about the enmity betweearks and Martells... My uncle is really difficult to deal with, but deep down he has some respect for your father... After all, he fought for his sister, something my uncle regrets not having arrived in time to fight for yours," she said, and Jon could detect a multitude of emotions ione.
"I uand that, but I will not accept disrespect towards me, my family, or my people," Jon said, looking at her now, showing that he was serious.
She was silent, abs his words before speaking. "You really are an incredible man... Jon Arctic," she said with a look intending to seduce Jon. "I would like to get to know you better."
"Do you really want to get to know me better, or is that what your father instructed you to do?" Jon raised an eyebrow, aware that all this olitics, and he had dealt with it all night, but seeing this woman with whom he felt something straing this way made him taste bitterness in his mouth for some reason.
Jon did not wait for Nyra to respond; he simply turned around a back to the ba, leaving the girl just looking at him.
Nyra felt torn; even though this versation was demanded by Doran, and even though she tried to seduce Jon, deep down, some truths were in her words. She was genuinely attracted to him, and seeing him leave really made her feel a sharp pain in her heart.
