John Snow is A Girl

Chapter 33: Emotions



We inherited our emotions from our animalistic ancestors. Olivia watched her dragons and knew why. Dragons are prideful creatures, they put their noses up and refuse to yield no matter what.

The miracle is that they let humans ride on their backs and let them do what they want with their fire. Of course it is thanks to the valerians blood magic but still. Morpheus and Aeryn have been fighting for half the day now.

It started with a snarky comment from Morpheus. 

"You will not grow in power once you sever your connection with mother. Whomever your rider is, they can not increase their strength like her. Which means you will have puny strength compare to me in the future." 

"You don't know anything of my rider. So just shut your trap before I burn you to a crisp." Aeryn said in response.

"Maybe you should be nicer to your alpha." 

"You are no leader of mine." 

"For now, but in the future, who know..." Morpheus's obnoxious words irritated Aeryn so much, a torrent of white flames attacked before Morph can finish her words. 

Olivia kicked them to their cave and told them to maintain their small size during the fight so they don't damage anything.

Deciding to use ships instead of flying to the red wastelands accompanying the resource team traveling to get the kiss of the sun, this is a good chance to unwind. She has been taking care of the businesses under her belt and the army she is responsible for is growing very large. 

By army she means the guardians of her city. They have a uniform made from warm material that is hard on the outside and soft in the inside. It has hard leather on important areas like the neck, chest and stomach. It is dark gold in color making them look very formidable even as a small squad. 

The uniform is made for maximum movement and little defense but Olivia is working on finding an alchemist solution to this problem. In the past life there were many ways to make soft fabric harder than steel. Just as the human skin can be soft to the touch but hard to tier. They have helmets from hard steel materials though. 

Their shoes are made from soft wood, flexible and quiet. Her plant power can now do this, make wood bend and stretch it is still flammable so it isn't perfect. But it is good enough for shoes. She transformed large wooden logs and gave it to the clothing factory to make. Wood and leather and good wool makes for comfortable and warm shoes. They are selling it to the North below the wall too. 

The harbor now has 800 guardians and over 5 thousand in the city made of honest former slaves who are strong and mostly just. She doesn't want to build a place and have it overrun with corrupting and human suffering. As such, she conducts random inspections and so far nothing bad has happened.

She still makes and sells soap, she now makes regula high quality glass that can be sold in the harbor and is making her a lot of money. Her glass doesn't have to be made thick with various decorations outside to hide the low quality because it is perfect.

The glass business is a response for the slavers coming to steal people hopefully those working in the factories. She found out their big plan was to take the people and have them produce the various items in her lands abroad as slaves.

That is partially what this trip is about. She will go with this group pass Pentos where her enemies are. Two magistrates aucastrated the attack paying a group of sell swords and slavers to attack her harbor because of greed. She new those people were too well trained to be mere slavers. 

One is called Pelaro the other is a man named Prumio not very impressive but he is not very famous because as the most wealthiest of the Pentos Magistrates he kills every rumor about him. Making him a mysterious figure in the Island.

First he wanted the soap recipe and tried to kidnap the workers but ended up losing all his men. So he laid low until he received the glass items bought from Hardhome.

Olivia found his whereabouts in a few minutes after coming out of the ship. He is bathing with several women who are clearly his slave servants. She cast a spell to be unseen and waited until they finished their activities then she made him inhale a body regression powder.

Even though they will continue aging normally their bodily functions will revert back to when they were young. First they will feel vigorous and full of energy as teenagers, then their pubic hair will fall off and will lose interest in sexual activities like children.

Then the body will lose the ability to function without help, the sense of taste, the ability to eat solid food and they won't be able to walk, or hold in their bowels and eventually, they will not be able to speak and the teeth will fall off.

He will become child like until he completely loses control over his body just like a child. She then did the same to the other magistrate. Everyone knows what they did, sending out slavers to try and snatch the business operations of the infamous lady Snow who is known for her hidden weapons and highly toxic poisons that can melt your skin off your bones. 

The embarrassing thing is that they failed miserably and the others used their failure as a point of caution to do better if they want to do the same thing in the future. Even the iron bank couldn't sit still with the news of the transparent glass.

Olivia is doing this to warn everyone about her abilities. If they come for her city, she will come for them. After making everyone sleep in both mansions she took all the gold stored in their mansion and the horses. After using her mental power to search thoroughly there was not even a single gold spoon left in their place.

They took all the fancy curtains, clean bed sheets and rich people's shoes. Both places were left bare. See how they like it if someone came into their home and took all their things just because they can. "It isn't fair is it? Wait till you can't hold your own shit and need someone to wipe you." She lightly kicked the man on the ground.

The disappointment is the fact they only came out with 9 million between the two people's places. They must store all their wealth in the Iron bank which is why she burnt all the bank books she found. They will probably still be able to access their wealth inside the bank but she felt better after doing it. 

When word gets out about the two men's fate, she is hoping to make people think twice before they attack her city. The Westeros politicians are not believers of anything. They will require a close to home lesson that they can all see and touch, she muses. 

You'd think with their many gods they would be easily be subjugated. There are white walkers right in their backyard but they still call it myths and legends. Their greed is unending like a pit that can never be filled so they will come for her sooner rather than later, this she knows it. as dark as the sky is at night. 

It is not just them, the entire world is going crazy about the glass. Especially the Westeros. Which is probably why assassins have increased as of late. She now has a shelf full of poison samples from many of them to study for her own development.

The king couldn't sit still and asked Ned to summon her to Kings landing when he heard about the glass making business. Olivia didn't go but she did gave Robert a set of drinking glass for each type of drink.

The queen was as always enraged about her showing off while the king understood that the only way to bring that girl into the fold is by picking up the hammer. The crown is no longer in too much debt thanks to all the coins taken back from Little finger and the taxes from the North, the king knows his council is just buzzing to enrich themselves.

His friend who is the one council member that matters to him cares about the girl is against the attack so he gave in. Besides this is only buying the kid time because Jeffrey will most certainly attack haunted city when he is king. Robert just hopes he is not here to see it.

Many of the free folk who were still scattered in the North joined her in the Haunted city when they saw the lives of those who used to live and suffer outside now living a good life inside the city and working in the harbor.

They know it is not easy to outrun a king once he came to their lands. She may be queen but she is good to her people, at least that is what the others said even though they have never met her.

Her military army is now around 72 thousand excluding the city guardians as she calls them. She knew the people dying from hunger and cold will cave eventually, all she had to do is wait. When their women fall pregnant and they are out of food or clothing to keep them warm. They came to the city. She even put and escorting party to help with navigating the forest.

The management of the glass production process is done by a few people whose loyalty she secured with her magic. Even the guards who are in charge of looking after the workers have her complete trust. Knowing the traitorous nature of the business people and the politicians, she couldn't risk it. Her workers live with their families in the city close to their work place, her castle.

"I forget how dry and unpleasant this place is, for the most favored flower of our city to grow here." Perzyo a former merchant turned fighting slave turned sworn guardian of his mistress Olivia. 

"Don't you find this place familiar? The excessive heat, lack of edible vegetation and most importantly, useless lands?" Olivia aske Perzyo.

"It's like the true North but where there is snow, there is heat. Mistress, are you saying this place is able to help us because it is like this?" Veer asked.

"I was thinking of building a castle here to protect our most valuable plant but I am not sure. It is too close to bullies and thieves of the three slavers city. People would die every day just to take over my home if I did that."

"Maybe buy another place close to this waste land where we can still plant it with the same soil."

"Besides, there is water here. It's just very very deep underground." Olivia said.

"How do you know this Mistress?" Perzyo asked with a thick valerian accent. 

"There are trees and caves there." She smiled noticing something burning underneath. Its core of some sort of magic, come to think of it the element is thick in the air. There must be a vein of magic ore here, that is why this place is so hot. Now she doesn't have a choice but to build a base here and mine the cores.

Elemental cores are what powered the ice wall spell and it lasted for 8 thousand years. She can use fire elements to make weapons that can hurt the night king even though it is not a guarantee it sure as hell beat staying around and waiting for the fucker to strike first.

This new material has immense potential now that she has magic and can imbue it into runes. She can't wait to see what formula she gets after this. "I'll..." She was about to make a cool declaration about making the waste lands her other home but a sound of hoofs came from a distance.

Two Dothraki riders came straight for their small group. None of the people present are really afraid but this is just annoying because of the heat. The men stop a distance away and got off their horses.

Olivia frowns "What do you want? Speak quickly before you die." She said in fluent Dothraki tongue.

The men both looked at each other and smiled in relief. "Please save our Khal he needs a doctor."

"Oh? Since when do you people care about one another? Let him die, his horse must be the biggest and strongest one in your Khalasar." She said with an unconcerned expression. 

"No, please. Khalisi is with child and if the Khal dies she will not be safe and our people will lose the blood of the dragon. Our future great Khal's life is at stake." The man said making Olivia's ears perk up at the word dragon. 

"Blood of the dragon? I will come with you and if anything foul happens I will Slaughter the lot of you." She declared and rode her horse Daezan.

Who would think Dothraki would show such a face to a stranger? "They are known to be brutal and strong, we forget they are humans too." Olivia told her people to continue harvesting she will take Perzyo only.

They must finish up and come to find her after loading up the flowers into the carriers.

"Lead the way." Her horse galloped after the two men. They found a camp with men and women crowding around a dead body. It seems a fight just took place.

"Of course they are still killing each other. Where is the sick person?"

The men pointed. But when she got down from her horse a few people surrounded their the horses. She looked at Perzyo who seem like he will roll his eyes at any moment now. He took out his sword and stood in front of their horse.

"Can I kill any who bother me?" The man asked her, his green eyes and black hair both sparkling in the dry air. So good looking. Of course he wasn't so pretty when he came to her. He was taken from the North Lys islands where useless slaves who are due to die any moment. 

A man came out of the tent. When he saw a commotion he asked what happened. "You speak the common tongue. Where is the sick husband? I don't have all day." Olivia rudely interrupted the man. She turned when a sickening feeling assaulted her and she ran to the tent already covered in white flames so the sinister aura doesn't latch on to her own magic.

The children of the forest told her to cover herself in purifying artifacts or spells to confront a black magic user like this. The people outside saw white flames shooting out into the sky and the black magic practicing woman screamed in horror on the side.

The Westeros man rushed inside and found Olivia and the entire tent covered in white flame, when he walked in his injuries from the fight before vanished. He looked at his arm in wonder. These are healing flames? There is also such a thing?

Olivia walked towards the baby while he flames healed Daenerys. She took the baby and the cloth covering it fell off making the man stumble in fright. What's in front of him is not a baby but a monster.

Olivia can still feel the spirit of the child in the body unlike the man on the side, the baby can still be saved. She opened her mouth and said a purifying spell. She stood in the same position for many minutes reciting the spell over and over again. The scales, wings and the other blemishes that were covering the child fell off the baby and a smooth baby skin remained.

Olivia didn't stop for an entire night, her flames burned completely purifying the woman of her black and unclean magic she got through sacrifice. In the end she is bound by Jorah Mormont who is sure she was harming the baby.

Olivia ended up borrowing some power from her dragons so she wouldn't pass out in this strange place. Because the black magic infected the child even before he was born, it is not easy to completely remove it.

The raging energy will affect the boy for the rest of his life... possibly. Ailments that affect a human spirit are not to be taken lightly. He might have saved a baby today, by her actions may kill thousands in the future.

The next day the physical manifestation of the curse on the child has been eliminated what remains is the pollution on the boy's spirit.

"Cough cough..." Daenerys woke up and Jorah came in immediately.

"Where is Khal Drogo?" She asked but Jorah started telling her what happened.

"Is that her? The bundle in her hands?"

"The thing you gave birth to. A cursed thing, it came out as a monster." She continued describing how it looked.

"Your voice sounds like someone is dragging nails on a metal board. It's giving me a headache." Olivia looked at the woman who took a step back. When Daenerys saw her eyes she gasped.

"You have Valerian blood in you." She said standing up. "How did you perform magic? This is not the magic of the valerians."

Olivia turned to look at Jorah with a tilted head. "The words are 'thank you' that is what you say to someone who healed your birth canals after a witch opened it to take out your baby for her black magic."

"What! Is that true?" Daenerys turned to the witch who is feeling very sick from being exposed to the purifying flames.

"I wanted to take its life force for my own. She interfered and snatched it back, but what did you save? Do you think just because you made it pretty again you have won?" The witch sneered at Olivia even as she is a little scared of her. 

Hearing the words, Olivia sighed sadly. "I know, the baby is still inflicted with a curse that is disturbing his spirit. That is why I have been using the most powerful purifying spell I know. But it is no use anymore, there is still sinister energy in him which will manifest in many ways. Maybe... ways more radical than the Targaryen madness." Olivia admitted with thick sadness. Her eyes shot up to the satisfied woman with with a sinister light.

"But if his spirit is strengthened to a certain point he will be able to cleans out the filth himself with the right mentor. Tell me, dead woman, do I look like someone who can mentor him to this point? Where he will be able to cast out a demon from with in his own spirit?" She asked with a smirk when the witch became displeased.

"Are you saying you can help him? My son?" Deanarys looked on with hope taking her son into her hands.

"I can but he can not go with you and be a wanderer with no peaceful environment to grow strong. If you want your baby to live and be cured someday, you have to let him go." Olivia said with hesitation.

"No!" She held on to her baby shaking her head.

"Your husband is dead. Do you wish to raise him here with that man by your side? The choice is yours as the only remaining parent. I have no plan to take him from you. But...I was also in your prophetic dream just now. Your journey has only just began. You are not in a position to protect and ensure his spirit until it is stable."

"You were in my dream? Who are you?"

"My name is ...." Her guard Perzyo came in and spoke to her in high valarian.

"Morpheus, Aeryn and even Lola are here, the khalasar is very scared because of Lalo's size."

He is the first to be sworn as her personal guardian and as such, now knows of her three pets and family. Olivia used her children's knowledge about magical oaths and created a sacred place where unbreakable vows can be sworn in.

She turned to Jorah and commanded. "Go and tell the people my snake will not hurt them she is just worried about me because of what I was doing here."

The annoying man just sneered "You do not command me."

"Can I kill him Mistress, or maybe just cut off his tongue?" Perzyo pulled his sword halfway and Olivia's pressure slammed him on the ground. Yearh, she can use heat wave now. Make it heavy it can crush bones. Make it hot it can melt some things.

"You do not pull out your sword unless you mean to end someone's life. Just now, you didn't obtain my permission to kill him so why are you already drawing your sword? Do you mean to disgrace our house like those southerners and sell swords who do not respect their chosen weapon?" She gritted out her question and Perzyo felt hot as waves of heat radiated from Olivia.

His throat bacame dry and he couldn't lift his head.

She soon calmed down and sighed. "Go wait outside and try to help manage the situation." She commanded in high valarian.

"Just who are you? What was that strange thing that just happened?" Jorah stood in front of Deanarys. He saw a man acting as if something pressed him on the ground. Olivia just looked at Deanarys with annoyance.

"Your child was saved. I am leaving now. My pet is making problems outside." She walk towards the door but Daenerys stopped her.

"Wait." Daenerys spoke high valarian. "Please take my child and raise him well. Assassins come for me often and I do not wish such a life for him especially if he needs a safe place to grow stable like you said." She came out from Jorah and looked at the child again, this time there is sadness in her eyes.

"My little dragon. Grow strong. Your mother loves you." She gave her son to a stranger without hesitation afterwards and then turned to Jorah. "Show me my husband."

Olivia and her pets left towards the ship and sailed for Hardhome. "Perzyo... don't draw your weapon at the innocent or with no intention of using it to the end."

"Yes Mistress."

From now on Olivia is busy about securing a base in the wasteland near the fire magic ore mine. She should have realized that the kiss of the sun is too miraculous to be a simple flower.

For a long time she stayed in the red wastelands to over see the project. She is lucky the stone for making cold stone is available here in better quality than in Dorne. She and her dedicated team first built a wall that covers a very large area big enough to build four Winterfell castles.

One of the days she is overseeing the foundation for the castle, Bree comes to see her. Olivia is surprised that she came personally even though she has an army of servants at her command.

"Mistress, your father is dead. He was beheaded at the command of king Jeffrey in a puplic hearing." Bree reported as soon as she caught her breath.
