"Catch me." Davina told Fury as he did a roll and Davina let go of him landing on top of Daemon. They spiraled down as Caraxes struggled, Fury nipping at him and Davina gouging at Dameon's eyes from behind. He flailed with the reigns trying to throw her off of him.

"Bitch!" Daemon spat throwing an elbow back at her and Davina looked to Fury as she fell back arms out wide and the smuggest of looks on her face as Daemon stared down at her and just like that she was caught, holding to Fury's wing as she tried to pull herself back up.

Davina saw daemon land on the ground and lowered fury with him.

''Daemon.'' Davina said calmly as he approached.

''Davina.'' He retorted

''What was it like? Breaking my heart and fucking our niece?'' Davina spat.

''You made your choice.'' Daemon reminded her

''And you daemon.  You made yours. ''

''Is this how it is going to be? You and I fighting against each other? I know why you came after me. This is our chance.'' Daemon told her. "You and me forever."

"There is no you and I." Davina corrected. 

"Then I will settle for my crown."

"The crown is not yours!" Davina shouted back. 

"It should be mine!" Daemon shouted. "after all we went through, you can't honestly say that we don't belong on that throne together!" Daemon demanded but Davina was past his good looks and false smiles. She saw him for who he was.

''You know there are a million ways to kill the one you love but the slowest way is never loving them enough.'' Davina told Daemon and he stared back at her. ''Do you really want me to tell you how he brought me back to life?''

"We were brought into this world together, you want to leave this world together to?" Daemon questioned stepping closer.

"I think I would prefer being an only child at this point." Davina countered.

"I want you." Daemon told her.

''You just want the fucking crown!'' Davina seethed. "What I want and what you want do not align, they never have!"

''I want you too.''

''No. You want yourself.'' Davina corrected.

''You're the closest I'm going to get to it.'' Daemon offered with a cheeky grin but Davina was not amused.

"My heels are higher than your standards.'' Davina told him simply.  ''And I cant believe I ever loved you.''

''But you do. You still do.'' Daemon told her closing the distance between them. ''You know you do."

"I dont." Davina corrected honestly. "I dreamt this.'' Davina remarked. ''I had many dreams. They all ended the same. Whether I killed you or you killed me. That was as it always had to be.'' Davina told him. ''I see what was clouded by the ignorance of my youth now Daemon.''

''How poetic.'' Daemon mused nodding to the necklace he had given her so many years ago. 

"I killed Mysaria with it. Your whore, one of many whores. Wouldnt it be poetic to die the same way?" Davina remarked as she let it hang from her fingers.

''I cannot let you burn me up, nor can I resist you. No mere human can stand in a fire and not be consumed." Davina told Daemon. ''But I am no mere human.'' 

''It's always been me and you we came into this world together.'' Daemon whispered pulling the necklace from her hands and letting it fall between them. "Lets try again." he begged.

"Killing you off is easier.'' Davina corrected pulling dark sister from his hip and stabbing him in the eye. She pulled it out viciously and stabbed him in the heart pushing him back. He choked for breath collapsing before her and davina sobbed out her hand flew to cover her gasp and his blood smeared from her hand to her cheek. She watched him bleed out before her. The darkness in his eyes faded, clouding over, his chest stopped rising and falling, his heart stopped beating and Davina felt herself breaking all over again. Not because she loved him but because he was her twin. The hell he put her through for years, he was still her brother. A brother she pictured killing forever, loving for half her life. It felt like a weight was lifted from her as his blood seeped onto the soles of her feet. 

She still had Rhaenyra to deal with.

"Get Caraxes to the trainers, he took a beating." Davina said sliding off Fury. Caraxes grumbled but knew better than to go up against Fury now.

"Dav-"

"Mama," Haezel said touching the blood on her cheek.

"I..." Davina couldn't breathe, her hands digging into her waist, fingers prodding at her ribs. 

"Mama where is Caraxes rider?" Haenry whispered kissing her head as Harwin hugged her tight. Daemon's blood smeared over her face and arms.

"Ravens came in, Starks and Martells are already on their way to declared for King Aemond." Alicent remarked. 

 "There is only one of the great houses that has dared to stand against us and they will crumble alone."

"Velaryon." Davina remarked her gaze shifting to Seamus. "What did you do with your boytoy Seamus?" Davina questioned. "Where did you stash him?"

''Where is daemon?'' Aegon countered.

''Dead.'' Davina informed them calmly.  ''I killed him.'' Luke stared back at her, Aemond couldn't help the laugh that escaped his lips and Davina loved him even more for it. Harwin hugged her tighter. ''But I promise you will be safe here at the capital. You will have a home and your status intact as my princes. You will be safe with me. Your mother... before all this when she was just a stupid girl in love with a handsome knight that girl would have wanted you with family... would have wanted you with me."

"What are you going to do about Rhaenyra?" Harwin whispered. 

"I need to have a chat with Rhaenys too." Davina remarked. "Seamus bring your friend to the capital. Draeya... you up for some fun?"

"Get the dragons." Draeya declared. "We are going to dragonstone."
