Forever and Always // Aemond Targaryen // Daemon Targaryen

2. Eye for an Eye

''It's me.'' Aemond agreed, he just had the ride of his life, he had a dragon now. He had listened to Beka and was brave, he wanted to show her, to tell her, to see her again but he was stopped by a herd of unhappy children.

''Vhagar is my mother's dragon.'' Baela shouted.

''Your mother's dead. And Vhagar has a new rider now.'' Aemond said proudly.

''She was mine to claim.'' Rhaena shouted in outrage.

''Then you should've claimed her!'' Aemond countered smugly.  'Maybe your cousins can find you a pig to ride. It would suit you.'' Rhaena didn't like that one bit she charged at him. Both twins but Aemond struck them down. ''Come at me again and I'll feed you to my dragon!'' Aemond warned and Jacaerys yelled out as he charged. They all charged at Aemond getting him to the ground, punching him. But Aemond had fire in him. He kicked the girls off and sent a punch to Luke's face, breaking his nose.

''You will die screaming in flames just as your father did! Bastards.'' Aemond declared as he stood up.

''My father's still alive.'' Luke corrected

''He doesn't know, does he, Lord Strong?'' Aemond smirked back at them. Dark black hair, how could he not. Jace kicked sand up at Aemond he flinched back as Luke lunged his blade at Aemonds face slicing his eye. Aemond screamed out as he fell.

Aemond wailed as ser Harrold Westerling and the guards finally made it to them.

''Cease this at once!'' Harrold demanded. ''Get away! My Prince, my Prince. Let me see.'' Aemond was breathing heavily as he removed his hand from his eye. ''Gods be good.''

Daemon was walking back to the castle of driftmark when he saw the whisp of a girl he knew to be long dead.

Rhaenyra pulled at his hand happily but his feet refused to move. Beka knew the dark would give her cover, that if he saw her he wouldnt believe what his eyes were seeing.

"Beka..." Daemon rasped pulling away from Rhaenyra and moving towards her.

Beka had wanted this for so long. She wanted to see him, for him to see her but not after he had just fucked a girl on the beach. She let him get closer though before she was gone with the wind and Daemon thought it was too much to drink, his mind playing tricks on him. Yet he stared at the spot where she was for what seemed like an eternity before he heard the shouting.

''He called us bastards.'' Luke spoke up

''My sons are in line to inherit the Iron Throne, Your Grace. This is the highest of treasons. Prince Aemond must be sharply questioned so we might learn where he heard such slanders.'' Rhaenyra offered

''Over an insult?'' Alicent rasped. ''My son has lost an eye.''

''You tell me, boy. Where did you hear this lie?'' Viserys demanded

''The insult was training yard bluster. The lot of boys. It was nothing." Alicent assured and Aemond looked over at her.

''Aemond... I asked you a question.''

''Where is Ser Laenor, I wonder? The boys' father? Perhaps he might have something to say in the matter.'' Alicent offered

''Yes. Where is Ser Laenor?'' Viserys agreed

''I do not know, Your Grace.'' Rhaenyra admitted ''I... could not find sleep. I had gone out to walk.'' Rhaenyra looked to Daemon as he appeared in the doorway. She had hoped to see more than a distance in his eyes.

''Entertaining his young squires, I would venture.'' Alicent muttered

''Aemond... look at me. Your king demands an answer. Who spoke these lies to you?'' Viserys asked again and Aemonds gaze shifted to a suddenly very nervous Alicent.
