The sun shone bright over the great walls of the city, Rhaenya was currently inside the small library of the house that had become their home for the past couple of years. She, was trying to find anything about dragons, but it always ended with the same sentence ("only a targaryen with blood of old Valyria could birth a dragon").

Asking people was no use, she had the maids and Lisyan, an old lady who was like a mother to Rhaenya  but she didn't know anything about it, only saying dragons were long gone from the earth, she had also gone to a pleasure garden with Olyos, who after delievering the eggs, had requested to stay and help the young exiled queen and her sworn sword, but again nobody knew anything about dragons. It seemed the people of lys were only proud of their looks and of their prowesses in the art of sex. Needless to say that after finding about her visit to the gardens, Ser Arthur never let her go anywhere without telling him first, she was always with him or Olyos.

"This is useless, im almost tempted to sit on the eggs and wait for them to hatch."  Huffed Rhaenya, "well if you do that my queen you might want to change your name to RHAENYA QUEEN OF CHICKENS, IM SURE LISYAN CAN MAKE YOU A CHICKEN COOP" laughted Olyos at his frustated queen and friend.

"Funny" was all Rhenya said.

"Look at the two of you, young people inside this room that is almost as dusty as i am. Go outside see the markets, walk by the lakes." Speaking of the angel, Lysian entered the library with what appeared to be a bucket of water and a rag, probaby to clean up the dusty shelves filled with books and the floor filled with foot marks, followed by Ser Arthur who had a small smile on his face, amused by the old lady's scoldings to the young teenager and the young man.

"Very well Lisyan, as you wish" Rhaenya smiled, she then turned to her sworn sword,"we will go to the market to see if we find any books about the eggs" Ser Arthur simply smiled and nodded in her direction.
" while you and Olyos go to the market, i have to go see if there are any news of your uncle and aunt, your grace." And with a bow he took his leave.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Lys truly was beautiful the sunny island is fertile with palm and fruit trees, the surrounding blue-green waters are filled with fish and temples and shrines can be found in the streets and waterfronts of the city. The young Targaryen wondered as they walked through the street if any of these people whose pale skin, silver-gold hair, and purple, lilac, and pale blue eyes, that reminded her of her own targaryen features, could somehow be her distant relatives, she knew that the targaryen kings of old had many mistresses and lovers from Lys, so it had to be possible that walking amongst her was at least someone who was a descendant of the blackfire line.

Shaking the thoughs of her mind rhaenya look around feeling as if something was wrong.
"Is everything alright?" Questioned Olyos, who had sensed his queen and friend's worry. "I think something is wrong with... " but before she could continue someone yelled "FIRE FIRE, THAT MANSE IS ON FIRE".

Rhenya and Olyos looked towards shouting and immediately ran towards their home, as they got closer it became obvious that the fire came from the library.
As soon as she reached her destiny Rhaenya ran to the library with only Lisyan in mind, the woman who held her when she cried when she missed her family, the woman who was there to calm her when she had begun flowering and assured her that one day she would take back her throne.

When she finally got to the library there was smoke and flames everywhere, Rhaenya looked around until she found a body hunched near some table, believing it to be Lisyan, the young queen yelled "LISYAN WE HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE THE CEILING IS ABOUT TO COLLAPSE" but as the person turned around Rhaenya understood that it was not her dear Lisyan, but a stranger holding a bloody knife over the dead body of a young woman, most likely a servant, and wounded Lysian who had one hand on her bloody neck and the other over the chest that contained the dragon eggs.
Rhaenya looked back to stranger and charged towards him with all her strength and pushed him against an already broken window, where he fell to his death. She ran back to Lisyan to try and get her up, but it was to late, the old woman had lost to much blood and died. Rhaenya just sat there, she was tired, tired of losing she just wanted it to be over and so she cried holding Lisyan's body close to hers, letting the flames engulf them, not realizing that 4 small lizard like creatures were climbing over her body.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Olyos ran after rhaenya as fast as he could, but the targaryen girl was fast, faster than him at least right now, when he reached the manse and made his way to the library a large beam fell on his right leg getting him stuck right where he was. "RHAENYA, RHAENYA" and there was nothing he could do but cry and watch as the room was consumed by flmes, with her inside it.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Ser Arthur Dayne was thinking of what he had just discovered.
Aparently Viserys and Daenerys Targaryen were now in Pentos, staying with Illyrio Mopatis, a wealthy magister, who, in is opinion, probably hopes to be rewarded if Viserys is able to reclaim the iron throne.
He had heard of Viserys's temper and personality in general, and thought that the boy had too much of Aerys in him.
The Knight sighed.
"Even if we join them, my queen will have to fight her uncle for her birthright." He said talking to himself.
Just then he saw a large cloud of smoke coming from the side of the city where his manse was.
Immediately fearing the worst, he ran towards the obvious disaster, only to be met with a crowd of people surrownding a body that clearly had fallen from the window of the library.
Not wasting another minute Ser Arthur ran inside where he saw Olyos, leg stuck under a beam,  screaming for their queen.
"Come on, get up" grunted the knight helping the young man get the beam off of him. "She's in there, she's in there Arthur. In the fire." Gasped Olyos in panic. Ser Arthur turned towards the room that was on fire, fire that was starting to spread towards them, and if nothing was done, would consume the entire manse.

As Olyos went as fast as he could, with a limp leg, to get buckets of water and help, Ser Arthur tried to enter the room, only to be pulled back by civilians, that had entered the building, saying there was nothing the man could do and that he would die if he went in.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Hours later, when the fire had been extinguished everyone but Olyos, Ser Arthur and a couple of loyal servants had left.
The hall that lead to the library and the library itself looked ruined, but as Ser Arthur entered the room to try and get the remains of his queen, he was met with a shocking and incredible view.

There lying in the middle of ashes and burned wood was his queen Rhaenya Dragonheart cuddling not one but four real dragons.
