Jacaerys was sent to secure the alliance of the Westerlands, their Paramount is Casterly Rock, Vaemon insisted on going with Jace himself, who knows what would happen? Aemond could be there, and if he is, Knaves Heart is at the ready for anything, a line of red cloaked men were standing there, with swords raised up to make a tunnel, they were all standing in front of Thurrax, who seems to know, his rider is not in any danger from them, he knows that the men follow him.
 
Vaemon comes up, without his mask on, he stops in front of Thurrax, looks at his men, they lower their swords into their sheaths, the Red Knave puts his mask on, then climbs up on the Red King, Vermax walks around with Jace on his back, they launch from the ground, they fly to the main land, Dragonstone was out of sight, Vaemon got Thurrax to fly slowly so Vermax can catch up, they fly over King's Landing, Thurrax' wings overshadowed the whole city.
 
Even the Red Keep, Vhagar was seen still there, now only one eyed like her rider, Vaemon felt sorry for her, they take flight to the Westerlands, they find the high mountain, with a castle sitting on top, Casterly Rock, they land in front of the castle, they dismount and walk in, they identify themselves to the guards, then was escorted to Lord Jason Lannister, Vaemon takes his mask off, so Lord Jason can see him.
 
Vaemon spoke to the lord first.
 
"Lord Jason, we've come with terms, from the Queen of the Seven Kingdoms, here is a message written by Her Grace."
 
A guard took the scroll from the Red Knave, gives it to Lord Jason, he reads it himself, then looks at both Vaemon and Jace.
 
"Remind me of my oath, from what I remember, Aegon is King, but here it says Queen Rhaenyra, what are the terms you say."
 
"Well you get to live, keep all your fortunes, those terms are all from Rhaenyra, but from me, you get to have back something you've lost."
 
Vaemon answered, the lion lord asked for a favor.
 
"Well then, if I consider the terms, in return, I have no wife, or heirs for Casterly Rock, my brother Tyland, is my only heir, I would like children of my own if you would give a Targaryen beauty."
 
"Fine, who?"
 
"Your sister."
 
"Which one?"
 
"What, you have another?"
 
"I have three sisters idiot, which one do you want."
 
"Three sisters? Alysanne is not your only one?"
 
Vaemon smiles, looks to the side then back.
 
"So you want Alys, you neglect Baela and Rhaena, if it was for little Visenya, I wouldn't hand her to you, but luckily, she's dead, may the Seven rest her soul, besides, Alys is betrothed to this one."
 
Vaemon pointed to Jace with his thumb.
 
"Well, seems like you come with the hands of the bare minimum, leave Casterly Rock, guards, escort them out."
 
Two guards come up behind them, Vaemon put up a hand in the form of a cup, then a fireball emerged, Lord Jason was shocked, Vaemon put the ball of fire into his mouth, then breathed like a dragon, right at the guards, Jace was shocked too, the guards were burned down, Vaemon whipped his head to face Lord Jason, making his hood fall off his head, revealing his horrific face.
 
"You could've had Brightroar right there in your hands, but oh no, your desire to have a Targaryen as your whore, my sister! Now this has happened, the greatsword of House Lannister, will be in my sons hand."
 
Jason Lannister was at a lost for words, he could've had the ancestral blade of House Lannister in his hand, Vaemon and Jace were by their dragons, they conversed while they mount.
 
"How did you do that, the fire?"
 
"A prophecy of the Fourteen Flames was placed upon me, thus makes me a King, not of the Seven Kingdoms, but of Valyria."
 
Once they mounted on their dragons, Jace saw an arrow coming, it was a ballista arrow.
 
"ARROW!"
 
The arrow stuck right into Thurrax' right eye, the one that was lost, it didn't bring any pain to the Red King, but it angered the Red Knave, Vaemon heard Lord Jason screaming at him.
 
"I WANT THAT SWORD!"
 
"You won't have it, the only thing you will have, is once again, The Field of Fire, DRAKARYS!"
 
Thurrax turned towards Casterly Rock and burned down the fort, he flew around the castle and burned it all, the stone which built Casterly Rock melted into lava on top of the fort around Casterly Rock.
 
"Here kitty, kitty."
 
Vaemon does a smooch sound in his lips, then flew back to Dragonstone with Jace, they pass over King's Landing again to go over the Blackwater, then land by the Dragonmont in Dragonstone, they walk over to the Dragon Fort and head inside to the Hall of the Painted Table, they notify Queen Rhaenyra of what happened.
 
"Mother."
 
"Jace, how was it?"
 
"It wasn't good."
 
"How do you mean?"
 
Vaemon answered Rhaenyra for that question.
 
"He denied us, your terms, he could've had Brightroar in his hands."
 
"Brightroar?"
 
"The ancestral greatsword of House Lannister, made of Valyrian steel, it was lost in Valyria, I picked it up on my way back from Valyria, it's refurbished, now it's Jae's, if that lion lord wasn't so thick of ambition, to marry Alysanne, he could've had it in his hand."
 
Alysanne furrowed her brow in disgust, a man of over fifty years, wanting to marry a young Targaryen like Alysanne.
 
"One more thing mother, he attacked us, he got his men to fire at Vaemon, but the arrow got stuck right in Thurrax' dead eye."
 
Rhaenyra looked at Vaemon in anger, her cousin could've been killed, over a weapon, Daemon recieved a message from Rook's Rest, someone asking for help, they were losing.
 
"I'll go and see that it is finished."
 
"I'll come with you, I don't want to see you die out there."
 
"Me dying?"
 
"Another dream I've had ages ago, it was your charred body, with Meleys laying there, dead, Ser Criston Cole is leading the battle, Aegon and Aemond will be there too, with a riderless dragon of blue."
 
"Dreamfyre, or Tessarion?"
 
"Dreamfyre, if I tell you what happens next, it won't happen, then we'll risk this war, we'll lose, Alys come, I need to talk to you."
 
Alysanne walked towards Vaemon, they talk outside, while Vaemon pulls out the arrow from Thurrax' eye.
 
"Your dreams, they are helping us win the war, I've got a feeling a dream has something to do with me as well?"
 
"It does, Dreamfyre comes in to snatch someone, and I fear..."
 
Vaemon paused right there, he didn't want to reveal it was her, going to be snatched in Dreamfyre's grip, but she knew in her heart, it's going to be her to be taken, and she needs to let it happen, she understands, Alysanne grew up a warrior like Visenya.
 
Rhaenys was seen exiting the Dragon Fort, Alysanne went with them, she mounted on top of Silver Wing, they fly to Rook's Rest, there, a bloody warzone, Renaud was sailing there with the men of the Red Cloaks, they stop above the clouds.
 
"Valyrion, Rohaerys, umbagon kesīr se sōvegon isse va issa udrāzma/Valyrion, Rohaerys, stay here and fly in on my command."
 
Vaemon commanded his dragons, they stay above the clouds, over the Blackwater, Vaemon, Alysanne and Rhaenys fly down, Silver Wing landed first, Alysanne jumped off and took over somebody's horse, Meleys spewed fire over the Greens, while in midair, Vaemon jumped off, spinning, then stops, he slices five of the Greens soldiers, then when he stands up straight, he heard someone shouting orders.
 
"Fire at them, the riders of the dragons."
 
Until then there was another roar, it was Vhagar's croaky roar, and a blinding gold light, gleaming from the sun, it was Aegon and Sunfyre, they both breathed fire upon the three, Vaemon was winding his arm in a circle, the dragon fire was dragged straight to Vaemon and fired back at them, Vhagar and Sunfyre both steered upwards to shield their riders from their own flame, Vaemon turned then shout at the top of his lungs.
 
"SIR/NOW!"
 
Valyrion went after Vhagar and clawed at her neck, he nipped and nipped at the mighty dragons neck again and again, he let go, flew away then circled back, he spewed his white flames onto Vhagar, for her it felt like a sharp knife cutting her whole body, Thurrax grabbed hold of Meleys and brought her and Rhaenys beside Vaemon, the Red Knave felt a large tremor from behind him, Thurrax released Meleys, he purred against his love and went to pick up Alysanne by grabbing her by the belt and picked her up.
 
He flew back over to Vaemon and Rhaenys with Meleys, he put her down, put a wing over them, then roared, he brought his other wing over to fully cover the three, it was now in complete darkness inside, outside of Thurrax' wings, Rohaerys flew five meters above ground, starting from the shore, and it became a large storm, black clouds, with sparks of fire, it spread across the whole field, boulders melt into lava, horses skin burnt off, what was left was skeletons standing like statues, except Ser Criston Cole's horse, which had run off when he saw it happening, Silver Wing flew off to Valyrion, Vhagar and Aemond were gone, it was Aegon and his dragon Sunfyre.
 
Once it was finished, there was blackened grass, soldiers now in skeletons, with their armor seared into their bodies, they are now of molten metal, some of the Blacks bannermen had survived the storm, Thurrax had lifted his wing, Vaemon, Alysanne and Rhaenys walk out with Meleys, they look at the battle field, up in the sky, Valyrion gave chase to Sunfyre, the golden dragon flew as fast as he could, but his speed was no match for the Silver Menace's speed, Valyrion caught Sunfyre by his neck, shook him then threw him down, just a little ways from the molten boulder, the fall broke Sunfyre's wing, Aegon fell off from his mount's back.
 
Vaemon shook his head and walked to him, as he got closer, Sunfyre breathed his bright golden flame at Vaemon, the Red Knave stopped the flame from hitting him, Sunfyre stopped breathing fire, Vaemon took his glove off from his right hand, and touches Sunfyre, the golden dragon calmed down at the touch of the Red Knave, he drew Knaves Heart then pointed it at Aegon, knocking off the Valyrian steel circlet of the Conqueror off his head.
 
"Where is your fucking brother?"
 
"Gone, as you can see."
 
"Yield the Iron Throne to your Queen, or suffer the consequences."
 
"I'll never yield the Throne, to you or your Queen bitch and her bastards, even your bastard children and your Silver whore."
 
Vaemon kicked him in the face, by then the Red Cloaks had come, they point their spears at the usurper King.
 
"Seven Hells, what the fuck happened to this place?"
 
The Sword of the Morning asked the Red Knave.
 
"Rohaerys is what happened."
 
"Heads up."
 
Vaemon looked at Renaud then behind him, he saw Ser Criston Cole with a lance, riding towards him, Vaemon snatched Renaud's spear and faced the tip against the Lord Commander, Renaud drew Dawn from it's sheath on his belt, placed it in the ground, Ser Criston got closer, then Vaemon lunged the spear towards him and it hit right in the middle of his chest, the lance was pierced into Vaemon's left shoulder, Renaud grabbed the reins, turned the horse and whacked on the rump and it raced across the field, Vaemon walked closer to Ser Criston, Renaud went around and pulled the lance out of Vaemon's shoulder.
 
Vaemon saw a glint inside his chest plate, he grabbed it and it was the Hand of the King brooch.
 
"So your usurper cunt of a King, made you his Hand?"
 
Vaemon threw the brooch away then started to lift him, then stabbed the other end of Renauds spear into the ground, leaving Ser Criston to be impaled, just then, there was a roar from the sky, in came a dragon of bright blue, Dreamfyre snatched Alysanne from the ground, Vaemon watched as Dreamfyre disappeared, heading towards King's Landing.
