Dessert

When Raizen decided to use the "Company of the Rose" as an alibi to get close with the north. He asks Layla if there is one currently operating in Essos. She said that the original company perished after a century when Aegon conquered Westeros. After that, he releases the variety of men and women that he created while waiting for Saeko and his child inside the time chamber. He already left Xiao Ning'er with Saeko and stayed with them for a thousand years before continuing his journey.

As for his creation, they look like any other men or women. But they are more like the Eternals though the ones that he takes out only have the strength of someone in the Houtian Realm, except they are truly loyal to their creator. That is more than enough for this kind of world, as long as it's not cultivation or the high-level magic world.

So he releases seventy thousand men and women of different ages. Fifty thousand for the use in the north fifteen thousand to make a name as a company of sellsword in Essos. The rest will spy on Westeros and Essos. Even if Varys look for information about his men. It will only look as if the company started when he meet Ned Stark. With the reputation that his men created. Defeating four Khalasar with less than ten thousand riders. Defeating pirates in the narrow seas and near Volantis. The company only take half the pay but spread their name and reputation which the employer accepts. It is not every day that they got protected by an army of knights. But the company stops receiving work and converges near Qarth as if waiting for someone.

Raizen was waiting for the rider that Daenerys sent to find help. He already has a spy in Khal Drogo's Khalasar and poses as a fighter before the two meet. He let the things play out until she was left with no other choice but to seek help.

(an: 9 months 2 weeks 3 days after arrival - 7 months in the series)

It only took two days after their stay near Qarth when the rider came. He tried to ride off when he saw the army but was intercepted easily because Raizen's men were faster than a horse even at their full speed.

Raizen ordered his men to get the horse and rider fed before he ask a question. When the rider was done eating. He started his questions.

R: "Who are you?" *speaking in Dothraki tongue*

Rakharo: "I am Rakharo. I was sent by my Khaleesi to look for help."

R: "Why would she seek help? Is she not part of a khalasar?"

Rakharo: "When Khal Drogo died, the khalasar disbanded and leave Khaleesi and the slaves who she made free and decided to follow her."

R: "Who is this "Khaleesi" that you keep talking about?"

Rakharo: "My Khaleesi is not only a "Khaleesi". She is also a "Mother of Dragons", the "unburnt"."

R: "Unburnt? Mother of Dragons? Dragons were gone for a long time. I do not believe you."

Rakharo: "It's true! I swear it on my life!"

R: "You swear on your life? I don't even know you."

Rakharo: "Then, come back with me to my Khaleesi. If I'm wrong, then you can take my life."

R: "I like your courage. Very well, lead the way."

After a day of travel Raizen and his army finally came to where Daenerys and her remaining people are waiting. As the army got close. Raizen heard Daenerys ask Jorah about then.

Dany: "Ser Jorah, do you know these people?"

Jorah: "I only heard of them, the "Company of Rose". Other than the Golden company, they are the most discipline kind of sellswords."

Dany: "Sellswords? I didn't think that Rakharo have the money to buy their service."

Jorah: "Maybe not money Khaleesi. I heard that they only take half of the negotiated price but they do have a bottom line. What is more important to them is their reputation. So instead of taking the full payment, they want their name to spread in Essos."

Dany: "How many men are there in their company?"

Jorah: "Fifteen thousand, including the women. There are also women fighting in their group."

Dany: "What?!"

Jorah: "Yes, when a Khal with twenty thousand riders heard it. He tried to defeat them to see if it was real. You can see the result."

Among the army that is coming to them, Daenerys guess that the other people that were wearing different clothes apart from them came from the defeated Khal.

Jorah: "Three more Khalasar tried to beat the company. Though when it happened, the company have fewer men than the khalasar because of other jobs. Nonetheless, they beat every single one of them. when Khal Drogo was still alive, I heard that he wants to challenge the company to a battle. Not even the Golden Company wanted to fight Khal Dogo with similar force."

Dany: "Wait, if they battled every now and then. Why does it look like they never have any battle and their numbers should have decreased a little?"

Jorah: "Aye, that is the amazing thing about them. They haven't lost yet and no man died from their company. They say that their armor and shields are so strong that swords don't leave even a tiny mark on them. But from the looks of it, it might be true."

The army stopped close to the group of Daenerys and one person walk towards them.

??: "I am Raizen. You must be their Khaleesi. Daenerys Stormborn of House Targaryen." *speaking in common tongue*

Dany: "You know of me? My rider said you keep asking questions as if you did not know me."

R: "Just wanted to make sure. Being married to a Khal will spread stories in Essos and our company cares about such information when others don't. We also know of the knight with you, Jorah Mormont of Bear Islands. Your father, Eddard Stark, and the people of the north approve to make your life my responsibility."

Jorah: "You know of my father?"

R: "I did. I have been living in Westeros for more than a year. I have talked to your father and why he became a brother of the Night's Watch. I also talked with Eddard Stark and the other lords. I asked them if they can spare your life and give the responsibility to me. With some argument, they give their consent. You are mine now."

Dany: "Do you mean a slave?!"

R: "No!, Are you crazy? We don't even accept jobs from Slaver's Bay. He is more like the brother of the Night's Watch without reciting the vow. He will die for my cause."

Dany: "And what does your company fight for?"

R: "Survival and Peace"

Dany: "I understand peace, but survival?"

R: "In time, you will know. Jorah Mormont, Ned told me that you are pardoned for your crimes."

Dany: "Pardoned? I know of his crime and why he did it but, who pardoned him?"

R: "He didn't tell you yet? I'll give you some space."

Raizen walks away from them and a few moments later. He heard a slap and Daenerys came close to him to ask a question.

Dany: "Are you also sent by the usurper to spy on me?"

R; "No, though I did have a spy monitoring you from afar. Do you know the name of the company?"

Dany: "Company of the Rose"

R: "But do you who created it?"

Dany: "No"

R: "The company was created by self-exiled men, from the north of Westeros. These men don't agree with Torrhen Stark's decision of bending the knee to Aegon Targaryen. So they went to Essos and created the "Company of the Rose" and I am the last descendant. The original company died a century after Aegon united the seven kingdoms but their blood remains and I'm the last of their group. For the three years, I recreated the company stronger than anyone. And last year, I increase the fame of the company. At the same time, I returned to the north to make it a better place. It just happens that war broke out and I used it to my advantage to redeem the lost honor of my people. My ancestors understand why Torrhen Stark bends the knee and he did it for the people of the north. When they realize it, they are already ashamed of what they have done. So in times of need, their descendants will return to the north and regain their honor. Sadly, a tragedy had happened to the company that it reduce their numbers and Westeros is at peace. But when the rebellion against the Targaryens happened, the company don't have its former strength. That is why I made it my goal to help the north in my lifetime. I amass wealth and knowledge to create an army that will benefit the north and its people. The army that you see now is the result of my labor. It also includes the fifty thousand that were already helping the north to be better as we speak. But then, I made a conclusion.

Dany: "What?"

R: "Did you know that a few years after Robert Baratheon become king, a rebellion from the Greyjoys happened? They say that it was a full might of the Westeros that stopped them, but. The Dorne did not participate because they are still angry with the Lannister for what they did to Elia Marter and her children, your niece and nephew. And just after Robert died, the seven kingdoms it divided again."

Dany: "Why are you telling me these?"

R: "From what I heard, only the Targaryen can hold the seven kingdoms together. Even without the dragons. Targaryens ruled a united seven kingdoms. Some say that if your brother, Rhaegar Targaryen, lives. The kingdoms would still be united and in relative peace."

Dany: "Are you telling me that you want me to rule and you would support me?"

R: "Ruling is not that simple. Do you even know every house and its sigils in Westeros? How to manage the economy? What would you do if there is a plague across the kingdoms? What about in war? Do you know where to march your army? Food? How can you keep your people fed? There are other things that you need to learn before you rule especially ruling seven kingdoms. How to rule them as a whole? Will you use your dragons for that?"

Dany: "You are right, I don't even know. Even my brother doesn't even know so how can I?"

R: "That is another thing. I heard that you let him die. How can you do that to your brother?"

Dany: "If you only know what he plans for me!"

R: "Like selling you to the Dothraki? I know what he did but if not for him and what he has done in your younger years, you wouldn't even be here. I know you are mad at him but you could have at least exiled him and not let him die. I do not know if it's madness or the influence of the Dothraki culture but you didn't live the nightmares that he saw first hand. The only thing he knows crumbles before his eyes and was forced to abandon his home. From the stories I have heard, he was not always as mad as he is now but anyone would be mad with a vengeance if they live his life as a child. Just to feed you, he has to sell the remaining items that your mother posses to buy food. When all of it was gone, he steals food to let the both of you survive. I think before he died, he got jealous of you because you were given the things that he need without hardship. Jorah probably stops him from stealing the dragon eggs. I'm saying that to remember only the sacrifices that he made not the bad ones because, at the end of the day, he has more reason to claim the iron throne."

Raizen left Daenerys to contemplate for herself. At first, he didn't want to make Viserys a good person in the memory of Daenerys but a little difference might help her not to become a mad queen if she knows the hardship of her brother. Jorah's betrayal will be the first one that she will experience because, in the show, one of the reasons that made her into a mad queen is because of the betrayals that she experiences. Now, Raizen wanted to let Daenerys learn why betrayals are happening and are ready for the future.

Raizen also lets the other people eat to their fill because it will be a long travel to Astapor. A few hours later, Raizen would see Daenerys talking to Jorah. She might have given him another chance when Jorah drops on one knee and stab his sword on the ground which means that he is taking his vows to her.

The next day, when the people were well-rested and fed, Daenerys walks up to Raizen to talk to him.

Dany: "Yesterday, you told me that only a Targaryen can hold the seven kingdoms."

R: "That is what believed in Westeros but not entirely true. Did you know why the Starks become king in the north before Aegon's conquest?"

Dany: "Why?"

R: "For survival. The north is cold and if fights continue between houses. There would be no people in the north by now except the free folks beyond the wall. As for Aegon, it's the result that mattered. Before Aegon, it would be a blessing if a between kingdoms did not happen for a year just for resources but when he unite them, trade of goods become much easier. A peace that lasted for a long was felt by everyone. Even if there are fights, they would not be amongst each other."

Dany: "So?"

R: "So I want you to be better. Use the good and learn from the bad. Losing your Khalasar is one example of ruling especially since they only follow the strong. If you become worthy, I lend you my army to unite the seven kingdoms, not conquer it. Your family already has a bad reputation, start from there."

Dany: "How? You imply that I am not fit to rule. Even being ignorant of the people that I want to rule."

R: "I heard from them that you freed your slave and become your loyal Khalasar."

Dany: "I did. My brother sold me to Khal Drogo and I understand that he has to do things to survive which made him desperate for power but I will not be like him."

R: "Good because before you become a mad queen I will kill you myself, that I promise. Not even full-grown dragons can survive fifteen thousand spears in their body."

Dany: "Understood but as I said, where can I start?"

R: "Try Qarth, and convince them to give you a boat."
