The sun, the moon, the dragon - A hard choice to make (Patreon)

Daeron Targaryen, The Hidden Ocean, Earth Kingdom

Daeron woke up, to his surprise, on the mainland, his face caressed by a soft blue grass that felt quite relaxing, almost familiar, in the distance the sound of child's laughter caught his attention, accompanied by a familiar voice

"Lya come here dear, your father will arrive soon," Yue's sweet voice exclaimed, getting a sonorous child's laughter as a response

All the heaviness in his body disappeared instantly, he stood up as quickly as he could and concentrated around him

Everything around him was a beautiful ocean, the turquoise water seemed endless, while colossal sea creatures swam at ease

Daeron was located on the only visible island, it was small and rocky, with a spiritual feeling of total calm, a small hill with a beautiful temple made of marble, with a constant spiritual aura, was the only thing present in this place

And at that moment, a child's voice screamed loudly

“HE'S HERE!! FINALLY! DAD HAS ARRIVED!” followed by small, sonorous footsteps

 Seconds later, Daeron noticed something that took his breath away

A little girl with snow-white hair, pale and snowy skin, with blue eyes, those beautiful eyes that he had missed so much

His wife's eyes

A spiritual aura surrounded her, her face lit up with a radiant smile, and seeing Daeron...

“FATHER!” shouted the little girl, as she began to run towards Daeron, who was totally paralyzed

The white-haired missile hugged the young king, who was still dumbfounded, but returned the gesture forcefully, eliciting a laugh from the joyous child, this small act... so insignificant for many, to be able to hug a daughter he thought lost

It was a balm for the soul, and unable to contain himself, Daeron clung to his daughter...

And just cry, grateful for the blessing of being able to hug her, at least once

After all, if he had learned anything from spirits, it was that these kinds of situations were extraordinary, they were unique, and he should take advantage of them

Daeron was so focused on his daughter, smiling as he talked about adventures, the spirit world, and his spirit friends, that he didn't notice his beloved wife's arrival

"Jon," said a sweet voice, soft and loaded with a thousand feelings, paralyzing him instantly

Not Daeron, but Jon, that name that had lost all meaning to him, that tragic night when he lost them

When he was not strong enough so safe them

"Yue," he said in a soft whisper, walking towards her with Lyanna in his arms, unlike the swamp, here he could touch her, he could feel her

She was... As beautiful as that day when he lost her

His trembling hand caressed her cheek, feeling her, the warmth of her skin, the beautiful smile and those eyes that were crying with excitement

Jon didn't say anything else, they just both closed their eyes, hugging each other as they did in the past, words were superfluous

The family was complete

Yue looked at her husband, holding his handsome face with both hands, her eyes expressing a hundred different things

"You look exhausted my love" whispered the beautiful princess, her countenance denoted concern

"I am," Jon whispered, closing his eyes, relaxed, enjoying the moment

Yue looked at him with infinite love and took his hands and spoke

"Come, this moment is ours, and no one can take it away from us," Yue said, guiding Jon and Lyanna to the center of the island

“Where are we?” he asked, looking around, as he entered the only building in the place

"On the Celeste throne, formerly occupied by Lady La, now mine" Yue said, holding her husband's hand, little Lyanna ran around the room, picking up a large number of toys and showing them to her father

Jon, with a huge smile, took them all, really happy that, at least for a moment, he could see his beautiful daughter

Yue left them both, as she walked towards the throne, taking a seat elegantly and moving her hands gently, causing the moon to gradually begin to emerge on the horizon

Jon could only look at his wife in wonder

"The spirit, the guardian of the library, mentioned something about making the ocean emerge, but I don’t..." At this point, Yue interrupted him

"You don't know how to do it," the Moon maiden finished, nodding softly, smiling as she saw Lyanna hand over a wooden dragon to her father

"Look Father, like Ghost ROAR" shouted the little girl, moving the dragon with her hands all over the place, drawing another smile from Jon

"Does she know Ghost?" asked Jon with a huge smile and full of excitement

Yue nodded tenderly and said

"Yes, he visits us regularly, the Dragon wolves are marvelous and powerful spiritual creatures, capable of crossing the threshold between worlds at will," said the ancient princess

And as if by magic... A roar was present in the place

“GHOST!!” Lyanna shouted, as she ran out of the temple, leaving Jon and Yue alone

The silence was deafening, Yue looked at her husband, although it was evident to Jon that his wife avoided saying anything

Jon assumed it had to do with the ocean issue

"She looks at you every night, we observe the world from our island, your visit will do her good" Yue said, taking Jon's hands without looking him in the eye

"What's wrong Yue? What are you not telling me” Jon asked calmly and sweetly reserved only for her

The former princess smiled, though her lips did not reach her eyes

"Do you have any idea what the spirit asked of you, my love? You will make an ocean emerge; do you know the sacrifice that such an act implies?” Yue asked, ignoring the laughter of her daughter, who was flying on the back of Ghost over the ocean

Jon just shook his head and spoke

"I don't know, but it allowed me to see you again my love," Jon said, caressing Yue's face

The princess smiled, closing her eyes and stroking Jon's hand with her cheek, a simple but intimate gesture

"Your soul... it is powerful my love, you are capable of mastering two spiritual gifts, the oceans of Lord La obey your orders, do you know why? Do you understand the reason why the spirit of the ocean tore you from the clutches of Death and put you in this world?” Yue asked, looking at Jon with mixed feelings

Such words made Jon hesitate, Yue's urgency raised alerts in his mind

"Lord La saw a warrior, a king..." Yue said, hugging Jon tightly

"A successor..." she whispered softly, at the same time that, next to Yue's throne, another similar seat emerged, made of a kind of blue crystal, which seemed to contain the fury and power of the oceans within it

"Our time together was magnificent my love, a glorious gift, but it was borrowed time, fate dictated that I should die when I was a baby, however, Lady Tui gave me eighteen wonderful years, a magnificent husband and a beautiful daughter, she made me the fullest woman in the world in exchange for taking her place at the right time," Yue said with a radiant smile

"Just like Lord La did to you," Yue confessed heavily, looking at his beloved's surprised face

“Me? I don't understand," Jon said, making Yue smile sadly

"You died my love, as soon as I ascended, I saw it, as well as the rest of your life on that disgusting continent, how those "nobles" treated a sweet child in such a mean way” his wife snapped furiously

"You died and your soul was preparing to cross the threshold, however, Lord La interceded, blessed your soul to give you a second chance at your unjust death, but also to prepare you, to take his place, for when it is his time to follow Lady La in the next adventure" Yue said

"Lord La wishes that, in the twilight of your life, you join me and Lyanna, here, as the new spirit of the ocean, at the beginning of a new era," Yue confessed, as the new throne shone brightly

Those words paralyzed Jon, an eternity with his beloved wife and daughter... It sounded like a dream come true, being totally sincere

So... Why did Yue look at him with... Concern?

"That sounds like the best news my love" Jon said sincerely, expecting to see relief on Yue's face, however, his beloved wife simply shook her head and said

"You don't understand my love, it's not that simple, by accepting the position of Lord La, you will be with Lyanna and me, but only with us" confessed the former princess

Jon, having a bad feeling, asked

"What do you mean Yue?"

The princess of the moon inhaled hard and said

"If you accept, when your time in the normal world is over you will come here, to take your place by my side for the centuries to come, we will watch the world, together forever," said his beloved wife with a smile, which, to Jon's surprise, quickly changed into a worried grimace

“However, it will be only us” said the beautiful princess looking at her beloved with concern

“No one else Jon, your soul will transcend, you will become a spirit, like Lyanna and like me, the spirit of the ocean, you will not cross to the next great adventure, you will not be able to see your family, your parents, who are waiting patiently for you, your uncle Eddard, your cousins, your siblings Aegon and Rhaenys, nor will you be able to interact directly with your wives,  children or grandchildren, once you leave the human world, it will be just the three of us, for eternity” Yue confessed

And those words, made him hesitate, remembering all his happy years with his brothers and sisters in Winterfell, when he learned of their deaths, Jon had always hoped to see them again in the afterlife

But now, to be certain that he would never see them, never, for millennia... That notion made him tremble

"That's not all," Yue said cautiously

Jon looked at her with alarm, the tone used by his beloved did not please him at all

“If you decide... not to take your rightful place as the spirit of the oceans... Lyanna and I must stay here without you, without the possibility of seeing you again," Yue said, while tears came out of her beautiful eyes, being unable to control them

Jon felt a terrible lump in his throat; he had what could be the most important decision of his life before his eyes

To give up his wife and daughter forever, without the possibility of seeing them again... or give up the rest of his family, the parents he never knew, the siblings he never hugged and the cousins he considered his blood for years

The unfairness of the situation overwhelmed Jon completely, who could not hold back his tears, as much as he wished to be strong, he would know what his decision would be

And from the bottom of his heart, Jon pleaded with his parents, siblings, and cousins to forgive him... to his future wives and children, but Jon, for the first time in his life… wanted to be selfish, to choose with love and not duty

The choice was made, and his beloved Yue knew it

The spirit of the Moon looked at him with resignation, but the relief in her eyes was more than evident, as if a huge weight had been lifted from her shoulders...

"Your throne awaits you my husband, even when you take your three queens in the human world, you will always be mine, forever" Yue said, her gaze reflected both acceptance and jealousy, she had accepted that Jon would marry other women, it is true, she even approved of it, but a part of her, the consciousness of the princess and first wife of the White Wolf found... satisfaction, in that at the end of the road

It would be Jon and her for all eternity, what did it matter if she had to wait a century, her beloved husband would leave the human world in peace and harmony, she could wait as long as it took

Jon inhaled hard, sending prayers and forgiveness to his family, as he took a close look at the towering throne

As he took a seat, there would be no turning back, Jon would close the deal, the spiritual ocean would emerge

And the four nations flourished again, more powerful than ever...

At that moment, Lyanna returned, throwing herself into her father's arms, her young face full of tears, clinging to Jon with all her might

"Don't go father," the little girl begged as she buried her face in Jon's stomach, who felt his heart break

The White Wolf picked up his daughter and hugged her tightly

"I have to go my love, but I know that you will be strong and take care of mom while I'm away, sooner or later we will be together again, I promise you" Jon said calmly, making the little girl, with tears in her eyes, nod with difficulty

Jon kissed his daughter's forehead and continued to the throne, taking a seat on the throne.

At that moment, an immense power passed through his body, he could feel everything, every drop of water, every stream, every river, every ocean, and a voice in his head, ancient, wise, tired, spoke to him

"Command the ocean of souls to emerge, you are my heir and they will obey you" Lord La's voice was heard

And Jon obeyed...

The ocean began to rise, as did the library, as Yue looked at Jon with a smile

"One last warning my love, Aang is your friend, like a little brother, however, the avatar is not, remember these words," Yue warned, much to Jon's confusion

An intense light blinded the White Wolf and, in an instant, he disappeared

Returning to the human world...

Katara, Island of the New Ocean, Earth Kingdom

When the tremors in the library stopped, Katara sighed with relief, they were alive and safe

But it was evident that something important had happened, the whole place had changed considerably, the corridors were illuminated, the sun filtered through the windows and beautiful water channels began to flow throughout the place, giving an incredible and beautiful appearance to the whole place

An instant later, a huge, swift black blob landed in front of them, scaring Katara, Toph, and Sokka

“Could you stop doing that?” Toph blurted out furiously, and Katara could not help but agree

However, the spirit ignored them, watching with what Katara assumed was happiness, as the whole place came alive

"The channels, the light, the caress of the sun, everything is just as I remembered, he succeeded, the young dragon succeeded," said Wan Shi Tong, evidently pleased

Katara was about to ask about it, when an imposing glow was present from the bottom of the library

"And the prodigal son returns” said the spirit calmly, at the same time that a colossal column of water emerged from the depths of the place, being guided by Daeron, who used it to land in front of the group

Katara smiled with excitement, her heart fluttered, and her delicate pussy throbbed a little at the sight of the handsome water bender's bare torso 

“Jon!” shouted the three of them, while Toph and Katara threw themselves towards Jon to hug him, obviously relieved

The White Wolf received them elegantly, holding them both by the waist, for the not-so-secret pleasure of the two benders and without any qualms, he gave them both a quick kiss on the lip, while holding them by the waist

Jon then stared at the spirit, all the warmth focused on Toph and she faded away

"I kept my end of the bargain, now you'll keep yours," Jon ordered

For a moment, Katara thought that the imposing being would refuse, however, Wan Shi Tong simply bowed to Jon, in submission and said

"Like the Lord of the Oceans commands," he answers  

Such words confused Katara, but apparently, Jon accepted them elegantly

Katara had questions and would get her answers one way or another

Although that could wait, the spirit guided them to the interesting parts of the library, and that was the priority

Her curiosity could wait, at least a couple of hours

Jon's hand being held on her hip in a possessive manner also played a role in avoiding the subject, at least for the time being

Today would be a long day, but the night...

The night would be spectacular, Katara had no doubt about that
