Emerys sits in her cell bored. As she throws a rock against the other side of the cell and continues to catch it with her legs crossed. She had been in there for an hour when the door unlocked to see Daemon Targaryen standing at the door she was in the middle of throwing her stone when it bounced off his forehead

"Whoops" she says Daemon closes the cell door behind him and sits across from her leaving his sword outside
"I can imagine that you are angry" he begins Emerys laughs
"No you get used to the betrayal and disappointment after all these years" she begins
"I can't be mad at you for what you did on Carispina I'd do the same" daemon casually says
"Even if you were mad at me or not it wouldn't matter to me and besides the people of Carispina are full of rapists , traffickers , murderers , slave owners they are all evil and I wouldn't have killed them if they were good and innocent people" Emerys says

"That's what's different between you and I" Emerys says
"So what is it you want?" Daemon asks
"To be free to live my life. I was disowned along time ago and you've taken away the only father figure I had." Emerys begins

"Father figure? He used you for your dragon" daemon yells
"AND WHAT DID YOU DO? ABANDON ME AT BIRTH BECAUSE I DID NOT HAVE SILVER HAIR WHEN YOU WERE NOT EVEN MARRIED TO A TARGARYEN WOMAN IN THE FIRST PLACE. YOU FUCKING IDIOT" Emerys yells

"It was awful of me I know"daemon begins
"THEN WHY" Emerys cries with tears in her eyes
"Because I hated your mother" he begins
As Emerys looks at him
"She was... it doesn't matter what she was but she and me had our differences Emerys she had cheated on me in the past that is why I accused her of infidelity and you not having silver hair didn't make it any easier That is why I called her the bronzed bitch because of her affairs you having red hair wasn't the first and only reason for this assumption" daemon says

"An assumption that ruined my life" Emerys
"Don't blame me blame your mother..." daemon retorts cockily
"SHES DEAD"
"Ah yes tragedy" daemon nods clearly unphased as Emerys stares at him in disbelief

"Look I can't take back the past or take back the trauma I caused you but I can offer you a fresh start it's sad this is how we had to find out your true nature but we cannot change the past it is best to move on and start again" daemon says

Emerys scoffs
"And what stay here at court to be tormented by Aemond and Aegon everyday no thank you" Emerys laughs crossing her arms
"No. Come to Dragonstone. Live with me and my wife Rhaenerya. Live with your sisters Baela and Rhaena , live with your brothers Viserys and Aegon , live with my step sons Jacerys , Lucerys and Joffrey.
Come live with us Emerys" daemon offers

Emerys laughs again
"And if I refuse" she asks
"There is no stopping you from making your own decisions but my brother may not want you to leave again"
"Typical" Emerys scoffs
"All these years i am pushed out now I am being forced back in" Emerys laughs
"King Viserys wants to see you anyways" Daemon says as Emerys eyes widen as if to say are you being serious

Emerys is escorted out of her cell and washed and bathed put in a black dress and her hair falls neatly on her shoulders

Emerys walks into the throne room as a crowd of Targaryens watch her entrance
Aemond looks over to see the woman enter. He hadn't had a chance to look at her before she still looked like Emerys but older , more womanly , more mature and elegant now.

Her beauty out of this world. Very enchanting. Very mesmerising. A walking goddess. The most delicate and Ethereal women he had ever seen in his life with the same thick copper red hair that she actually suited now. Her large ocean blue orbs that sparkled with mischief. Very innocent features with a hint of trouble to her now.

Aemond is taken aback for a second as her hair sways behind her in her perfectly fitted black dress. She wasn't even stereotypically beautiful but stood out with her unique appearance. A breath of fresh air.
He almost looses composure for a second. As for a second she glances over and locks eyes with him as something familiar locks within him. As flashbacks reached him and he knew it was her. Emerys. Even if she looked and acted so different now

As she looks at him he feels numb for a second. Lost in her blue orbs.
Aegon looks at Aemond never seeing this brother this caught off guard by a woman. Or this tense. This mesmerised like he was caught in a trance as women never got his attention that much. Not even Alys
Aegon simply laughs

As Emerys walks by the energy leaving the room with her as her presence was so powerful.
Aemond blinks and shakes it off for a second

Emerys had fought the man in the eye patch which was painfully obviously Aemond as the eye patch instantly gave it away clearly but if he wasn't wearing it she wouldn't be able to tell who he was. she would've recognised Aegon instantly but it took her a second to wonder if the scary intimidating man with the eye patch could be Aemond since he was now taller and ruthless looking than he did when he was younger even with the eyepatch four years ago but when she met his eye she knew it was him. Even though it was obvious Yet she couldn't believe it he looked so different.

She hadn't had a chance to look at him on the beach or really process that it was Aemond
He looks intimidating and scary but also there was something about him now. Something mysterious. Something that instantly gets you mesmerised by his dark presence as Emerys felt it instantly. In shock in disbelief. When she saw Aemond.

That couldn't be him. It couldn't be as Emerys heart pounds in her chest. She knew she was attracted to him. Instantly. Wildly. Something she never really had in her but now she wanted him just by a glance as she takes a deep breath in shock again. Feeling his eye linger on her. When he looked at her she knew he recognised her
