Looks may be deceiving as a picture of innocents and purity prowls the halls of the keep, one can never truly be safe.
In which Alicent Hightower and Visery Targaryens youngest daughter is a dreamer.

Alysanne always knew she was expandable - she was the third child, a second daughter. She already knew that the future queen would be Helaena who would be beside their eldest brother aegon.
And honestly she did not much care, she saw things, things that happened to those within the Targaryen dynasty who gained power.
Madness. 'As when a Targaryen is born the gods toss the coin in the air and the world holds its breath to see how it will land'.
She had seen flashes of a mad king with claw like nails and stringy hair, a young girl who visits her dreams frequently who burned the keep down and those of her actually family - of the deaths her siblings will soon face.
Alysanne had not a clue if she could possibly change the course of history with her knowledge of what is to happen, but she is sure that by all means she will try and protect her older twin.
For they were one, they shared dreams sometimes. She could sometimes feel familiar blue eyes in these memories watching as she does.
They do not speak of the burden they carry, she does not ask if she's aware of the fate of their family or her own fate.
She was young when she had her first dream, probably having just celebrated her fifth name day, she remembers hearing her own screams when she woke up, face wet with sweat, the image of people burning at the front of her mind.
She also recalls the scream the maid let out when she was the first to rush in to her chambers, she recalls the fear in her eyes as she pointed a shaking finger at her as her lips wobbled with words that could not come out.
It took her a day before she finally knew why, she heard the gossip of the maids 'her pupils were white as snow, like a demon'.
She had researched what she believed she possessed - dragon dreams they called them, running throughout the Targaryen bloodline what was said to have made them travel from Valyria to Westeros.
The knowledge of what she could possibly be possessing did not stop the dreams, they came unexpectedly, sometimes it would be a slight glimpses or others a scene full of horrors or knowledge.
Alysanne soon started to feel as though these dreams were watching her, giving her life lessons of what ruling can do and how ignorance is never a blessing.
So she learned to embrace the dreams, she almost loved that she knew things that others did not. She could see things from the past and others of what shall happen in the future.
It started her thirst for knowledge, she would now go about the halls listening in to conversations, witness first hand events.
At the start it was to mainly see if her dreams would actually come true.
Which they did. Time and time again.
But the young princess soon realised the great mental strain all this information was giving her, her lack of focus and her need to analyse all the dreams was turning her into a ghost of herself unable to full grasp the present.
She had once told a maester of her problems of how she could see the future. He had dismissed her telling her that they were just normal dreams, common for a girl her age and that to reduce her stress she should keep a dream journal as to have an outlet.
Alysanne did not like being dismissed. So she tripped the old man down the stairs - of course no one saw, she was smarter than that.
It was such a tragic accident he was so old anyways - plus she kind of had a thing against all maester due to their seeming inability to help her father.
But she did follow his advice. To a degree anyways.
She chose to paint. Writing could be used against her, she did not need others to use her knowledge to their advantage.
Her room soon became swamped with them, soon after her father gifted her another room close to her chambers as to store the images in. Locked away with a key she was only in possession of. Well also her parents but she chose to ignore that part.
And as the years progressed she familiarised herself with the secret passages of the keep finding the tunnels that had been built into the keep, leading to easy access for her to sneak around unnoticed.
Thus leading to the nauseating feeling she is currently suffering through as she watched the horrors of child birth through a little peak hole near the corner of the room.
Why anyone would willingly give birth to a creature when the process seemed so tortures was beyond her especially when said person already had two healthy children.
The sweat dripping down Rhaenyra face was anything but flattering with her hair looking stringy with moisture, grunts and groans admitting from her tired vocal cords.
Yep the princess was very much regretting her decision as to spy on the heir of the iron throne.
And finally that horrid slithering sound followed with the obnoxious wails of the child filled the space she nearly gagged.
Another boy. A healthy boy with whisps of brown hair.
Joffrey they will call him.
A warrior. Protector of the keep. Desperate to be brave like his brothers.
She had seen enough.

Ok so this is kind of like a catch up and the start of episode 6 which the next two chapters will cover and then onwards (the next chapter probably be coming out within 3 days)
I plan on making around 2-3 chapters for each episode to cover Alysannes perspective, different events she herself will be apart of and new plots and relationships that will be formed.
I'm not really sure what her age is within episode 6 so I'm going for a more 12-13 year old vibe as that's what I've kind of narrowed it down to.
There will definitely be spoilers for what is going to happen during the show, with her obviously being a dragon dreamer she will foresee future events, including deaths and other things that have not yet happened in the show.
I have been asked if she will either support the greens or blacks and I can't really give you guys the full answer to that just yet as the book is a bit messy and I kind of want to see how the show takes it.
But definitely at the start she is going to seem more green sided as it is her mothers side as to support her family, but she will mostly be watching from the sidelines analysing each teams future leaders which at the moment she has definitely favoured Rhaenyra but who knows maybe Aegon will be a good king who just likes wanking to the people of flea bottom.
Well I hope you guys have enjoyed this chapter even though it's mostly a filler, I really appreciate seeing all the votes.
Thanks Felicity x
