Daemon walks behind the carriage that holds Rhyaella's coffin which is covered in the Targaryen banner. To his left is Helaena and Rhaegar while on the other is Aemond and Aegon. His children hold each other's hands while Rhaenyra walks behind the family with her father and Alicent behind her and behind them is the rest of the court.

The streets are filled with people who are coming to pay their respects to the Princess they loved and considered their Queen. Every noble is in black their heads bowed.

They all look up as Rhyaella's dragon Maegor who is currently the largest dragon in Westeros  flies overhead letting out a bone chilling roar as he lands in front of the steps of the Church of the Seven as the funeral party comes to a stop before it.

Daemon stumbles slightly as four guards lift the coffin and walk it into the church Rhaegar looks at his father who's face is filled with grief before a veil falls back into place. The grief is replaced with a look of coolness as he leads the funeral party into the Church of the Seven.

Daemon looks at Maegor who looks back at him both eyes filled with sadness before one pair vanishes into the church while the other glares around at the people who are standing at the bottom of the steps watching.

'LONG LIVE THE QUEEN IN ALL BUT NAME'S CHILDREN' yells one voice 'LONG LIVE KING RHAEGAR AND LONG LIVE THE KING FATHER DAEMON!'. The funeral party stop and look around as the people all start yelling 'LONG LIVE THE QUEEN IN ALL BUT NAME! LONG LIVE KING RHAEGAR AND LONG LIVE THE KING FATHER DAEMON!'

The nobles all turn to Viserys who looks back at Rhaegar who is not looking at him but at the people before waving at them making them cheer louder. Rhaegar looks at his father who looks back at him a proud look in his eye and he bows his head.


I am going to write a book during Robert's rebellion about a branch of Targaryens who have lived on Dragonstone since the Dance of the Dragons, so I might not update this one as much.
