Dragon's Oracle // Daemon Targaryen

7. Dracarys

Aelana woke up in her bedroom, her body covered by sheets. She didnt wanted to get out and face Viserys, Rhaenyra and daemon.

But her thoughts were disturbed when their was a knock at the door. "Come in"

Two of Aelana maids walked in and stood by the bottom of her bed. Aelana lift her to look at them and then put it back on her pillow.

"My lady you are to be dressed for the Queen's funeral." Tears came into Aelana eyes, blinking them away she sat up.

"Where is Rhaenyra. How is she?" She asked the maids and one of them said "she fainted when she saw Queen Aemma but currently she is in her room. Getting ready"

Nodding Aelana got up from bed and walked to the dressing chair. She sat down and nodded at the maids.

The maids immediately started working on Aelana.

They stripped her out of her sweaty clothes, only a sheer veil on her body remaining but it was uneffective for you can see every part of her body.

They ran a warm rag on her legs and hands and her neck and face.

They put on a black long dress on her, it was simple but had padded shoulders with gold embroidery on it.

Perfect dress for saying farewell to Queen.

Once dressed, the maids once again clean her face with fresh rags and use ice to lessen the swollen around her face from sleepin and crying.

They also quickly put two braid into hair and pinned them at the back while leaving the rest down.

They put on her Valyrian steel Targaryen pin and stepped back.

Aelana stood and nodded at her maids, "Rhaenyra is in her room right. I will go find her"

She was about to walk away when one maid speak up "My Lady everyone was to gather at the pyre. I am sure Princess Rhaenyra left for it too becasue she was to ride their on dragon"

"On dragon? Why?"

The maid stumbled on her words but mumbled "Syrax will give fire for Queen funeral"

Aelana took in their words and ingest her saliva. Turning aRound she walked out of the room and found a guard ready to take her to funeral grounds.

The funeral took place near the sea on top cliff. Rhaenyra flew there on syrax while everyone else used horses and carriages.

Aelana soon reached the funeral area and walk out of the carriage to see everyone gathering near the pyre.

Slowly with heavy feets she walked toward the pyre and saw the Targaryens standing in the very front. Aelana walked through the crowd who made space for her, they only nod to her in respect but Aelana pay them no mind.

Aelana came to a stop next to daemon Targaryen, who turned her head and looked at her while Aelana was busy focusing on the dead baby.

Reaching the front she saw body on the pyre along with the body of small baby. the smallest coffins are the heaviest.

Aelana stood like a log, the air blowing her clothes. Everyone was dressed in black, color of death, color of Targaryen.

They were waiting for Rhaenyra, to order Syrax, who was standing on the top hill. Even Syrax was feelings were on low vibrations which meant that he was grieving.

When Rhaenyra stayed still, Aelana, look at daemon who looked at her back. she nodded her head toward Rhaenyra and daemon sighed in defeat.

He walked toward her and talked to her in high Valyrian. Words which were only understandable for a few.
