The Fire Wife || The Dance of Dragons

The Dream

Daemon lays in his bed tossing.

His his dream he is in a dark room and he screams for his wife.

'Daaaaemon' calls Rhyaella but he cannot see her as he twirls searching. 'Daemon come find me'

Daemon blinks and is suddenly in the great hall watching as a younger version of Rhyaella runs through the hall laughing as a younger Daemon runs after her smiling as he yells 'Rhyaella! come back! father will be mad!'

'I don't care!' Rhyaella yells over her shoulder as Daemon runs after her.

The memory vanishes and Daemon is standing in Rhyaella's chamber as she births their eldest sons. Daemon goes still with horror as he hears her screams of pain as ladies run around the room as their mother sits beside Rhyaella holding her hand. Rhyaella lays legs open with a Maester between them covered in sweat yelling through gritted teeth. Daemon looks around as the ghost of Rhyaella walks in a circle around him.

'I lay birthing for five days' she says 'while you were whoring on in the Silks. Three children I had' she says making Daemon look at her shocked 'Three boys. Rhaegar, Aemond and Aegor. Aegor I was told never lived he died as soon as he was born. They said not to tell you, since it was a bad omen so, you never knew we had 5 children rather than  4. But now you know'

The room changes into their wedding day. Daemon watches tears gathering as a younger Daemon married a younger Rhyaella. Both are obviously happy and cannot stop smiling at each other as they exchange their vows and share their first kiss as husband and wife.

Too soon Daemon wakes sweating in his bed as he pants looking out the window at the night sky. Slowly he turns his head into his pillow and starts to sob missing his wife. 

Rhyaella Targaryen. Queen in all but name. The Light of the Realm. The Heart of the Rouge Prince.  The Fire Wife. The Mother of Balerion reborn. The  Red Dragon.

All Daemon wants to do is die so he can rejoin his wife, but he knows that he cannot leave his children after they had just lost their mother.

One day he thinks one day soon we will meet again my love
