Chapter 355: Making Up II
(Drakken's POV)
"Are you nearly done?" I asked Maegelle as I had her sitting on my lap while I held her waist, "I wish to know."
"I..." She said, "I have healed over three hundred people by now....a bit less than usual...but...their condition was far worse than the others I have done....so it is good progress. They are converted..."
I leaned in and kissed her shoulder, "That is good." I told her, "I want you back home. I want you badly....please, let us go back."
"I...." She said softly, "I have a lot more people to treat..."
She pulled away and I leaned back as she stood up and walked over to the cupboard, where she had her box.
"I am running out of dust, however...." She said softly as I watched her tucking her hair behind her ear, "Is it alright with you if I get more? I need it....these people are in terrible condition."
"Hm." I said as I looked to my side, seeing that Vaella was sitting next to me, sucking on a piece of bread, "Why?"
"I...." She said, "I wish to cure them."
"How many?" I asked
"So far....." She started, "Thirty."
"If I repair them." I said, "Would you come back home?"
She looked back at me, "Drakken...." She said, "I....I am asking you if-"
"I don't have any Dust on me. Not now." I told her, "But with time, we will have as much dust as we have gold."
She looked down, "I see....Dorne.." She started, "You did all of that....for Dust...."
I reached for Vaella, kissing her head as I sat her on my lap, "Yes." I said, "And to purge the land of the Red Cult. I want to be rid of them, I don't want them in Westeros. I will hunt them all down and kill them. I don't care."
"And...." Maegelle started, "What now?"
"Dorne is now mine." I said, "Under some conditions of course. Which brings me to our next topic. There is something I want to discuss, Maegelle. The thing is....I-"
"You want to Father a dornish child." Maegelle cut me off, "To bond with the Sandwyrm when the time comes. I know. Mya wrote to me."
I sighed, "She cannot keep a secret, that one." I rolled my eyes, "I came here to discuss it with you....I want to run it by you."
She turned around, "I...." She said, "It is not up to me. If you want to do that, I should not have a problem with it."
"I need to know if you are okay with it." I told her, "I don't want another situation like this to happen."
"You have two sons with other women.....and a daughter with my sister." She said softly, "I should be fine with another one. It is okay, Drakken."
I looked at Vaella, who was focused on eating, "Hm." I said, "I see."
"You are a god...." Maegelle said, "Not me....you can do as you wish."
"You are my wife." I told her, "I won't marry the girl, I will simply have her give me a child. That is all, it purely political. To establish a firm grip on Dorne...."
"Are you sure there won't be repercussions for it?" She asked, "Dorne.....is resentful...."
"I know." I said, "We'll deal with that when the time comes, alright? Listen, I just need you to know.....that is all...."
"Do it." She said as she looked at me with a slight smile, "I....well, it doesn't matter what I think....so long as that child isn't....neglected...."
"Hm." I said, "Very well.....when the time comes, I will do it then. As we speak, Dorne is going to adjust to its new future."
"I heard." She said, "Better conditions....and a bit more job for the smallfolk. A good incentive to convert..."
"Yes." I said
"That is good." She said
I looked at her, "The Dust..." I said, "I did for you. I want you to have as much resources to do what you want, to help people....."
"It was for you, don't forget that."

[Harrenhal, A Few Days Later]
"It was successful, My Love." Saera walked up to me, pulling me down for a kiss on the cheek, "I claimed Dreamfyre...."
I straightened up, "So I see." I said as in the distance, the dragon was laying down as it rumbled, "We'll have a cave ready for her soon, worry not. And where is my girl?"
"Ah, I have her inside already." She said as she hugged my arm, "She was screaming the entire flight over, it was amazing. She fell asleep literally when we landed, she was adorable."
"Dreamfyre...." Maegelle said as she stood next to me, holding Vaella, "You claimed her, sister????"
"Oh, look who is back." Saera walked over to her and hugged her, "Oh, my dear sister, I am glad you are back. My Love was sulking the entire time."
I scowled, "What are you talking about?" I said, "I was not....."
Saera kissed Vaella's cheek, "And my beautiful niece, I missed you dearly." She said, "Your brothers will be excited to have you back. And Maegelle....they missed you plenty....you should go see them."
Maegelle smiled, "I will...."
Saera stepped back and looked at me, "So...." She said, "Am I assuming that the two of you will be busy?"
I nodded, "We will."
"Busy?" Maegelle said, "W-What do you mean?"
"Mya has the rejuvenation tea ready." Saera smirked, "I'll have our maidens take care of Vaella for you, sister. Don't worry about a thing."
"What?" Maegelle asked
Saera then reached for Vaella and took her off Maegelle's arms, "You know what, I will let you get to it." She said with a chuckle, "Go on, lover, do your thing. Sister, if you cannot handle it, let me know. I will take over."
Maegelle's face went red, "Eh?"
I pulled her in to me by her arm, "We're home now." I whispered in her ear, "We have the privacy of our walls, Maegelle. Go and greet the boys before we start. I mean this when I say it....."
"I am not letting you rest."
