Fire In My Blood|| Aemond Targaryen

Aegons pov
It's the next week and she wants to ride Sundfyre with me. She's done it before and loves it. Sunfyre adores her just as everyone. My little niece has a hold on everyone's hearts. I chuckle seeing her hug sunfyre who makes a noise in greeting. I help her up onto him and climb on. Aemond would probably have my head. Sunfyre is known to be aggressive. And was toward her but after my little niece fed him and showed no fear he cut it out.

We take off and she squeals happily and I hold onto the reigns and her securely. Soon she starts to cough. Oh fuck. Not now. She starts to wheeze and she wheezes "e-egg" and I turn sunfyre around and tighten my grip on her knowing she tends to get weak when she has an episode.  I pause feeling a drop on my hand. Blood. She's coughing blood. She's never done that before. I land sunfyre and pick her up and head to the maester "get my sister and daemon" I snap to a maid laying her down. She rushes away and I wipe the blood from her mouth and kiss her forehead "how are you feeling Vis?" Worried. She coughs "tired" the door opens "what happened?"

It's rhaenyra. I say "I-I didn't meant it to happen-" daemon cuts me off "what happened" the door opens and aemond and her brothers join. "Why is she here and being tended to?" He asks taking over. I say "I took her up on sunfyre-" he cuts me off "he did this to her?! I told you he's too much of an asshole to be trusted around her" I roll my eyes "sunfyre didn't do this" she wheezes.

He coos to her "save your breath byka zaldrizes" little dragon he looks to me "I don't like repeating myself brother so do hurry and tell me what happened that landed her here or I'll drag you outside assuming that you did this" glaring. "Everything was fine and then it wasn't. She was laughing and having fun as she usually does when any of us take her up. Then she started to wheeze and cough blood and get weak and I brought her there" I explain.

"How high did you go aegon?" He snaps. Higher than we usually do. She wanted to and she's a kid she deserves the fun we never got to have as kids due to the pressure of being who we are. "Higher" I reply. He snaps "you know her lungs can't take certain things and yet you decided to go higher?!" "She asked me to. She's a child she deserves to live normally and to have the fun we never did" I excuse myself and he snaps "not at the risk of her fucking health!"

Rhaenyra speaks "brothers I appreciate the concern for her. There's nothing else I wanted more from coming back home. But you are upsetting her" as she takes a seat beside her. The maester speaks "here princess" giving her a drink of some sort. She makes a face and we chuckle. Rhaenyra says "I think going on flights isn't a good idea with your condition." What? That's all my niece wants. A dragon. She loves them and loves flying even though she wishes for her own. She can't run or she'll be winded and get weak, meaning activity like fighting is out of the question. Though she wants to. She gets scolded for climbing. Everything she finds herself loving is being taken away. How is that right? She's a child and deserves to live a fun and happy life. And with each flare up she loses her happiness.

She's our light and it's dimming day by day. "What? I'm fine" she insists. Rhaenyra takes her hand "you could've gotten hurt if you fainted up there." "Who cares about what if. I'm fine" and insists. "I do. We all do. We cannot lose you" rhaenyra replies. She asks "so I do? I don't have a dragon. The eggs don't last. I can't run. I can't fight either. Climbing isn't princess like and it could cause this to come up. And now I can't even ride the dragons I do have in my life?" She replies.

Daemon pipes "it's caused an attack worse than the others princess. It's for your protection" she mutters "I don't want it" turning her back to us. "Visenya" rhaenyra tries "please leave"
I kiss her head "I'm sorry" and she nods and we leave her
