The night was dark, lightning scorching the sky as the young Lady Aemma's screams echoed throughout the Red Keep. At the mere age of 13 in the year 92 AC, the young lady and her husband, Prince Viserys, were expecting their first child.
Her labours had started that morning, yet still hours later, there was still no child. Everyone residing in Maegor's Holdfast was holding their breath in anticipation of the arrival of the new Prince or Princess.
Viserys was unable to sit still, pacing his solar whilst simultaneously annoying his younger brother, Prince Daemon, who was lounging on one of the sofas. Though he would not admit it, Daemon was nervous. He, Viserys and Rhaenys had grown up together, but since Viserys' marriage to Aemma, the group of three had turned to four.
Rhaenys, herself, had been at Aemma's side the entire time. Having had her first child, Laenor, a year prior she did not want her sweet cousin to be alone. She did not complain when the young lady squeezed her hand with all her strength, nor did she flinch when Aemma hollered in pain. She simply sat calmly at her side providing as much support as she could.
King Jaehaerys sat in his solar alone staring out as the storm outside grew worse. Thunder shook the earth, lightning so bright it obscured your vision, but what concerned and confused him the most was the dragons.
They were restless, screeching, roaring, adding to the chaos that was already running through the Kingdoms. He had received reports from the Dragonkeepers, both from the Dragonpit and Dragonstone, that the beasts would not settle.
It was strange, it was uncanny, it was alarming.
In his long life, he had never witnessed anything like it.
When he thought things could not get more abnormal and unnerving, he heard the roars of Balerion grow more terrifying as a large shadow covered the city. Onixa.
And where they're was Onixa, there was Bloodwing.
No one had seen Onixa since the disappearance of his Aunt Valerea.
No one had approached Bloodwing and lived since the death of his Cousin Vaenerys.
He knew Bloodwing nested deep inside Dragonmont and was occasionally spotted hunting, but seeing Onixa, well that was unheard of.
After the death of Maegor the Cruel, his Aunt disappeared and with her, her dragon. It was assumed Onixa died, as she was as old as Balerion and it was known he nearing his time.
