The Unburnt Lion Game of Thrones fanfiction

Chapter 4

(Tara POV) I'm sitting next to Eghar as she eats some sheep my mother brought with her. Fish are now too small for Eghar. Stannis gets Eghar sheep and other livestock, provided my grandfather pays for it once and awhile. A guard comes running up to me carrying a raven scroll, "This just came from Kings Landing." he says, I take the dragon scroll, seeing my mothers seal, I quickly break it open, reading:
Dear Tara, the fat old stag is dead, killed hunting. Long live the lions and dragons. Fly as soon as you can to Kings Landing. Love your mother Cersei Lannister.
Robert is dead. Robert Baratheon, the man who killed my father, who disrespected and abused my mother, is dead. I look at the guard, "Bring me to my uncle Stannis." I order, following the guard to the huge room with Aegon Targaryens table. The table is carved in the shape of Westeros, showing mountains and rivers, great houses places of home. I see the Stag at Kings Landing is down, Stannis looking over the table. I slowly walk up to Stannis, "So you have heard?" Stannis asks. "I'm sorry your brothers past away. Robert may be a lot of things, but he was still your brother." I state. Stannis looks at me, "Thank you child. I'm sure your going to want to head for Kings Landing." "Flying at first light tommorow. Its time for the dragons return." I tell, seeing it being almost night. Stannis chuckles "Your flying Eghar at last?" "If Eghar is willing." I joke, still scared, me and Eghar have tried flying around Dragonstone, but never as far as Kings Landing. "Right, you should know now that I may oppose your bratty brother. The throne was Baratheons, now its in the hands of the Lannisters." Stannis explains. I understand what Stannis is trying to say. A lot of people think that Joffrey, Mrycella and Tommen are not Roberts children, that their Cersei and Jamies children. "There my family." I state. "I know." walking over to me, holding my shoulders, brushing my hair back. "May you be safe in fights to come." Stannis states. I feel tears at edge of my eyes, "Robert may not have been my father. But you will always be my uncle, my family." I murmmer. We nod to each other, me heading to my rooms, and guard waiting at my door. I wipe my tears away, "Have my things pack up, get wagons, horses and whatever is needed. I fly for Kings Landing in the morning, you will follow behind." the guard looks at me shocked. "My lady are you sure you and Eghar are ready for such a journey?" he asks, I pause, considering the dangers of falling or Eghar landing in some random land. But with Robert dead, my brother Joffrey on the throne, Eghar and me have to adventure out, sometime. Why not now. "I understand your worry, but I trust Eghar with my life. Do what I ask and we leave tommorow." I explain, gathering my things already, the guard leaving, closing the door behind him. Full of anxiety and exitment. "With Fire and Blood, Hear me Roar." I whisper as fall asleep.

(No Ones POV)By afternoon the next day, the sun is shining, and Kings Landing is doing its usual filth and orders. But then a hush falls over everyone, the wind picking up, hearing a thunderous noise, but no dark clouds, no lightning, no rain. A shadow passes over Kings Landing, a roar fills the ear of everyone, even Ned Stark, who sits in the deep dark dungeons. Tara Lannister had come with her dragon Eghar, the sun flashing off her wings which span over Kings Landing, nearly covering it all in shadow. Eghar circles the city, people below scream and panic, others watching with shock and awe at a dragon. The first dragon to fly at Kings Landing in years. Cersei Lannister runs out to her balcony with Mrycella and Tommen in toe. On the back of Eghar, Cersei can barely see her daughter Tara. Cersei beams with pride, as Tara and Eghar fly high into the sky or low to the ground. Eghar growing tired, and Tara still learning to fly her great dragon, Eghar lands ungracefully on the roof of the castle. The entire castle shakes, Eghar letting out shrieks, trying to find her balance before flying again. Landing again more elegantly on a large training area of the Red Keep. Still holding on for dear life, Tara watches as she is surrounded by guards, seeing her uncle Jamie run out to her, she smiles.

(Tara POV)I let my tight grip on Eghar go, slowly climbing down. I still shake a little from the ride from Dragonstone to Kings Landing. Eghar having never flown so far, shakes herself out, seeming almost as glad as me to be on the ground again. Uncle Jamie runs up to me, looking me over, I hug him, him hugging me. I pull away, smiling. "You and Eghar were amazing." Jamie states. "I lost some nerve when he descended on the castle, that was not planned." I admit. "Practice makes perfect." I look up at the roof of Red Keep, seeing the damage of Eghar's claws. "If Joffrey lets me fly again." I joke, knowing full well my brother may be angry but he cant stop me from flying. We hear running footsteps. My mother Cersei nearly tackles me in a hug, I close my eyes, enjoying my mothers arms around me again, her love evident as ever. "You were glorious my unburnt lion." mother says, pulling away. Eghar nudges us, "You were beautiful too Eghar." mother chuckles rubbing Eghar. Heavy footsteps interrupt this family moment, as the Kings Guard comes in, surrounding King Joffrey. I step forward and Joffrey does the same. I bow to my knees, "I swear my loyalty to you, King Joffrey." I state. Joffrey takes my hand, lifting me up, he scowls, looking at the roof of Red Keep. "A bit of a mess you have caused. Peasants and the city are in panic, Red Keep damages will take years to repair." Joffrey scolds. "I'm sorry my king." I murmur. Joffrey smirks, "I have never seen such greater sight as you and Eghar flying. Don't worry my sister, Kings Landing welcomes you. Even though most of the peasants wet themselves seeing a dragon." Joffrey jokes, me and Joffrey smile, hugging. "What better way to start the reign of king, then with the entrance of a dragon. Eghar and me are at your service my king."I declare as me and Joffrey pull apart, "Lets hope we will not have to use Eghar, war stirs in the North." Mother lets out. "What?" Tara asks, turning to her mother. "A lot to explain, come, you must rest. guard fetch as much livestock as Eghar can eat for our dragon of Kings Landing." Jamie lets out as the reunited family walks into the Red Keep.
