Aemond One Eyed Targaryen and Elaena Velaryon had always had a soft spot for one another from growing up in the halls of Kings Landing, to soaring through the skies of Westeros.
It isn't until Elaena shares a late night flight on dragonback with th...

Today was it, there was no more preparing no more talking and deathly stares across the room, I'd end this with the Stark boy once and for all.
I'd told Elaena last night that I was fully confident but that hadn't been true. I'd be a fool to underestimate Cregan and I wouldn't be content until Elaena was wed to me in the way of Old Valyria as our ancestors before us.
My nerves won't let me sleep any longer than the sun but it gives me the opportunity to gaze upon the woman I loved so dearly while she slept peacefully in my arms.
Last night I'd talked myself into staying in but when I woke drenched in sweat, calling out for Elaena I knew I couldn't stay away.
Brushing her white blonde waves over her shoulder I catch a glimpse of the bruise forming around her arm where that dickhead grabbed her and I have to remind myself I'd already killed him.
In my nightmares her screams were never ending bouncing off the walls of every room but I couldn't find her anywhere until I do. Her body in a bloodied mess on the ground will live with me forever even if it didn't happen... because it could.
The winter winds howl at the doors, brother.
Heleana had known something was wrong all evening but I'd been too busy watching Cregan like a hawk.
Today I'd at least give him the courtesy of a choice. Upon winning, Elaena would belong to me or I'd kill him to have her. Either way our steel would clash but he'll decide whether our battle is to the death. That was the only way I'd let him have her, if I was dead.
Stirring in her sleep she blinks up at me tiredly and it's as if she's reached into my heart and pulled it's strings herself.
"You're still here," She yawns, stretching out on top of me.
"Of course I am. I wouldn't leave you without a goodbye," Turning on my side to face her she frowns at me.
"I don't want you to leave me at all," Groaning she brings herself as close to me as humanly possible and I don't object, enjoying every second of our skin on skin contact.
Resting my nose against hers my fingers wander drawing shapes on her bare back soothingly and I wish we could capture this peaceful moment forever but in a matter of hours I'd be fighting anyone who wished to challenge me in front of hundreds but most importantly Elaena.
"You haven't sang for me since you've come home, my love." I drawl.
Her voice only could've gotten more beautiful with age just as she had. I didn't know many songs but the one she sang to me the night I'd bonded with Vhagar was ingrained into my memory. Every note, even how her face looked when she sang it would replay in my mind every night until she returned to me.
