Vaelerys' father laid still, two painted stones laid over his lifeless eyes of indigo. In a days time he would return to the sea as all Velaryons had before him.
Vaelerys was thirteen when her father passed. Her half brother, Aurane, was sixteen. Her older brother Monford was thirty-two and was now Lord of Driftmark.
"Advert your eyes boy, before I make jewels of them." Monford hissed as his bastard brother eyed him, hatred evident in his narrowed brows.
Aurane laid his hand upon his little sisters shoulder, she did not cry. Nay did any of the Velaryon heirs. Their father was not to be missed. His death was as welcome as a summers first sun.
"If you carry on like this, you shall be shackled to the same boot you wished not to wear. Take the advice of your mother's flock and be done with this nonsense." Aurane warned.
All three of the children possessed different mothers. Monford was bore of their father's first marriage to Carris Buckler of Bronzegate in the Stormlands. The marriage lasted only six years before Lady Carris died after a stable accident.
Monford was only four when his mother died. His father did not mourn the simple minded Carris which had left Monford a lonesome and loveless child. His lacking childhood melted into the reality of his adulthood.
Monford was six and teen when his father returned from a year long tour of Essos looking for new trading opportunities. Monford was in horror when his father returned with a three month old babe bore of a Lys whore. The Lys were some of the only living people left of Valyrian descent but had been enslaved as whores on the small island long since the Doom.
Because of his father's ambition the Velaryon patriarch did not remarry until Aurane was three. He then took to wife his cousin, Siera Velaryon.
Siera had not known the seas unlike many of her kin, she lived peacefully with her deceased mother's family in Dorne at The Tor, seat of House Jordayne.
Siera died in childbirth with the Velaryon daughter, leaving her at the behest of Lord Velaryon at Castle Driftmark.
Long ago House Velaryon sired Kings and Queens of the Seven Kingdoms.
With Monford Velaryon's ascension to the Driftwood Throne, he planned to do anything he could to restore their name to its glory, even if that meant marrying his younger sister to a Dornish viper.
