This time we will switch sides of the story and follow the life of Aeron Targaryen, the long-lost prince of Kings Landing.

Aeron Targaryen was the first born son of Queen Aemma Arryn and King Viserys Targaryen the I. He was very charming, wise at such young age, and unlike his father a great warrior. He was loyal to his homeland and very well aware of his position as future King.

After the birth of his sister Rhaenyra Targaryen, he became oddly interested in adventures and battles, just like his uncle Daemon Targaryen. His father Viserys didn't think that it's such a good idea for his son to be just like his uncle, risking his life and the future of Kings Landing. He ignored his father as well as his mother, he barely even knew how his sister looks like. Day by day charm became anger, interest's in the crown were fading, as well as the love that he ones had for his home and family.

It was a lonely night in cold winter, a dull and loud scream has just been heard from underground room, where thousands of candels were lighting a large dragon head. Everyone in the castle was there in a minute, disbelieving and crying, waiting for the royal family to gather. After the arrival of King and Queen, allongside Deamon and their daughter Rhaenyra, King saw a letter nearby one candel (that candel was special to Aeron Targaryen), when he opened it, tear after tear were falling from his eyes, as his screamed and fell to his knees. Queen took the letter, reading it out loud, the letter said: "It is Aeron Targaryen who is writing this letter, father I understand the wish you had for me as well as my mother. To be the future King of these people was my greatest pleasure, but as you may all noticed I changed, not in the better person I am afraid. That is why tonight, with this letter as evidence, I'm giving up the crown and all my rights to my sister Rhaenyra Targaryen. I'm sure that she will be a better Queen, better than I could ever be. Father thank you for all your many lessons I will never forget them, as well as the love from my mother."

As the Queen finished reading with face full of tears, King ordered all the guards to go look for his son, while deep down in his heart he knew that it was too late

As the Queen finished reading with face full of tears, King ordered all the guards to go look for his son, while deep down in his heart he knew that it was too late. While actually the prince was just on his way going in the forest for his dragon when he was stopped by his best frend Aerys Hightower son of Otto Hightower the Hand of the King. They knew each other since first day, they were unseparable as kids and even today they are always together. He told him that he wants to come with him, he's tired of his father telling him what to do. He already left a letter to his sister, either he goes with him or he goes on his own. Aeron allowed him to come along, but he also warned him about what they could face during the travels, Aerys was already ready for that. Seeing the weapon on him, Aeron hugged him and they ran to woods as they could hear the screams and voices of guards behind them.

They climbed on the dragon and flew to the night, sensing a smell of freedom. While going through clouds, on their last sight they could see the fire alarming that the royal member is missing as well as panick and screams of the people, and guards who are trying to find them.

The dragon turned around as Aeron spoke the last words to his homeland before he left: "Nyke jāhor sagon arlī."  ("I will be back.")
