The Blazing Hour {Aegon II Targaryen}

009

UPON FINDING OUT THAT, Rheanyra was sending her sons out as messengers to see who those loyal to her are. How they found out? More like how did Alyra find out. With the help of Cheshire who got the plans for her now Queen. Alyra placed the plans out in Otto's office without being noticed. In the eyes of a Tyrell the Hightower's were nothing but cheap copies of them. The Tyrell's were the ones known for their cunning tactics and mostly money after Hightower sworn themselves to house Tyrell learning their tactics. It's just that Otto had managed to place Alicent with the king and him as Hand. If the eldest Tyrell girl, who was Alyra was as old as Alicent who knew how things would have turned out. 

Jacaerys was sent north to Lord stark, the greens didn't send anyone there as they knew their never lived a stark who was not honorable to his words and Winterfell will follow went them. Lucerys was sent to Lord Baratheons, hearing that Lucerys was to be sent there Aemond left in a hurry to reach him first. 

The new Queen with her son who rode the dragon known as The cannibal, the two followed Aemond and Vhagar as the one eyed prince could not argue with queen and heir to the iron throne. As the three landed the dragons rested on the walls, The new queen was immediately welcomed as were the males she was with by the Baratheons.    

To set the alliance with the needed Baratheons, Queen Alyra with of course the permission and consent of Aemond arranged a marriage between one of his daughters, Floris. Thereby sealing their families.  

As the negations were finished the dragons let out roars signaling that Arrax and his rider arrived. Aemond was aside talking to his new fiancé, the man did not feel anything towards the woman saw her as a piece on a chess board needed to win the game. Luke arrived as his eyes landed on his uncle scared but got confused as he saw his cousin and good aunt their but felt less terrified. 

Lucerys claimed he had a message for Lord Borros from his mother, the queen he called her. Made everyone in the room crack a smile. Lord Borros made a joke about the house of dragon not knowing who ruled it then asked what was it. The young prince handed the guard a note who took it to the Lord. He yelled for the Maester as he ran to him bending down whispering it into his ear. The two princes made eye contact and didn't break it, Lucerys gripped his sword for a safety precaution. The Baratheon looked angry as in the 'Queen's' note as it reminded it of his late father's oath saying at least King Aegon presented him with a offer, his wife actually. The poor prince replied saying that he is not free to marry as he was marrying the grand daughter of the sea snake. 

"Go home, pup. And tell your mother that the Lord of Storm's End is not some dog that she can whistle up at need to set against her foes." Borros told Lucerys. 

"I shall take your answer" The boy looked at his aunt, "To the true queen, my lord." turning around walking to the exit. 

"Wait." Aemond spoke up out of the blue, "My lord strong." Lucerys became walking towards him. "Did you really think that you could just fly about the realm. Trying to steal my brother's throne at no cost?" Lucerys refused to fight his uncle, stating he was a messenger not a warrior. Scoffing Aemond brushed of a fight as a little challenge. "No." he pulled of his a eye patch revealing the sapphire Aegon gifted his wife at the birth of their second child, who in turn their daughter gave it to her uncle. "I want you to put out your eye, As payment for mine." Brushing his cloak to the side, throwing his dragger to his nephew. "One will serve. I would not blind you." he shrugged "plan to make a gift of it to my mother." 

"No." Lucerys responded 

"Then you are a craven as well as a traitor." Aemond spoke 

Lord Borros understood what was about to happen in his house and yelled "Not Here!" Aemond as expected lost his temper, as it was does when comes to the boy who made him lose an eye. Aemond was usually the calm and collected one, keeps every thing deep down. Can you blame him for being home and wanting revenge? Storming towards him, yelling to his bastard nephew to give him his eye. "Not in my hall!" The Baratheon yelled getting up from his throne one could call it of stone, making Aemond stop in the middle of his tracks. "The boy came as an envoy. I'll not have bloodshed underneath my roof. Take prince Lucerys back to his dragon. Now!" he commanded his knights while the two were still holding direct eye contact. 

"Aemond, stand down. I beg of you." Alyra spoke to her brother in law he nodded angrily. Lucerys left in a hurry to his dragon as did Aemond and Vaymx to theirs. Alyra rode with her son onto his dragon, The Cannibal. Aemond seemed to take back course with Vhagar as Vaymx understood his mother's message and followed yet didn't let the other's know. Only to see how things play out and not to cause any unwanted deaths, Cannibal hid in thunder clouds as the new queen, her son and his dragon wanted the first dance. 

☀

AFTER, when Vhager attacked Arrax from the side as his rider yelled for him to stop. Lucerys was about to fall from a great height that he would obviously not survived. Vaymx guided his dragon as Alyra reached for him, catching him she held on laying his head on her should, as the boy was unconscious. She felt a motherly love to the boy as he was her first friend in the keep. Taking a look back she saw the reminds of Arrax fall but to her surprise they were gone, turning her head she saw that Cannibal at caught them into his mouth chewing them as they flew back on the way to king's landing. Were they hand no choice to take Lucerys in as a prisoner. 

☀ 

HE WOKE UP, on a poor mattress in a stone room with three walls and bars instead of another wall. Lucerys looked around to see his surroundings as his oldest uncle came out of the shadows. "A reminder, the only reason your alive. Is because I love my wife, be sure to thank her grace." He left and called a knight to inform his wife that their nephew is awake. 

In her chambers, Alyra was writing a letter to Rheanyra stating that her son is okay and will remain alive and well under the new queen's protection and that they lost a dragon not saying any details on purpose. From a mother to a mother, she wrote to her sending of a raven. Off to visit her nephew bringing him a plate of food she took from dinner. 

"My sweet nephew, your mother's paper's cannot be found. You're fight a worthless battle." She tried to convince him. Placing it in between the bars, Lucerys didn't touch it. He couldn't look the woman in the eye, didn't he even touch the food. He kept his head down, mourning the loss of his dragon and freedom.
