The Dragon Queen

I Larys

King's Landing – 122 AC

On 120 AC, screams sounded through the close doors of the queen and king's chambers. The new royal couple, having decided not to have separated chambers.

After two years of a peaceful and prosperous reign, the royal couple have been blessed with another child. A new prince will be joining the princes of eight, five, and three namedays.

However, the process was not an easy one and her screams woke up everyone in the Red Keep, as Syrax roars could be heard from all corners of King's Landing.

Thankfully, as this was the fourth time, the new prince came to this world soon. A beautiful babe of silver hair and amethyst eyes, that had everyone gasping at his etheral beauty. He was named Aegon after the first Targaryen king.

Even with his pure Targaryen looks, the queen refused to put a dragon eggg on his crib, which confused many.

"He has no need for an egg, his dragon is on Dragonstone," was all the queen said, flashing her mysterious smile.

A smile that hided knowledge that even I, as Master of Whispers, will never hope to get.

Two years later, another song blessed the royal family, once more this babe was pure Targaryen in looks. Silver hair and amethyst eyes. This babe was named Viserys, after the last king and the queen's father.

Once more, this babe was refused a dragon egg.

"His dragon is on the Narrow Seas," the queen whispered, as she rocked young Viserys in her arms. "A worthy dragon for the future Prince of the Narrow Seas and Lord of the Stepstones."

No one paid any attention to the queen's puzzling words. Eveyone focusing on the Gods great blessing of five princes. A blessing they've not seen since Alysanne Targaryen sat as queen. Nobles and commonfolk, alike, saw this as a sign of the gods. The reason why no boy was born from the union between King Viserys and Queen Aemma was because Queen Rhaenyra was meant to sit on the Iron Throne. She was meant to be the first queen and her line was meant to continue the Targaryen dinasty.

Something that I can agree with. I was sent by the Old Gods, my gift as a greenseer might not be as powerful as the queen's dragon dreams, but I knew that I am meant to protect and aid the queen. At first I thought it was queen Aemma or whoever came after, when the birthingbed finally took her. But it ended up being Rhaenyra Targaryen, the first Queen of Westeros, that will go down in history as the Dragon Queen.

For that I will be eternally grateful. We've done so much good in the realm since she ascended as queen. Even as princess she could only do so much, relaying on a king that prefered to spend coin in tourneys and banquets. But now as the highest power in the realm, she was truly pushing for changes and reforms.

The seat of Grand Maester was changed to Grand Healer, now both masters and healers could sit on it. Geradys, forever loyal to the queen, continued sitting on the seat. But who knows? Maybe during the reign of Prince Jacaerys a woman might take that seat.

Learning institutions were being built all over the realm, making trade and business more profitable, and bringing even more taxes. If while the queen was a princess we thought the coffers was full, now it wass bursting. Poeple have started calling this era the Golden Reign of Westeros, in honor of the great economy and the queen's dragon's nickname.

Many women, highborn and lowborn, have been starting to take part of the realm's growth. Starting with taking duties as matrons, teachers, and organisers, that took charge of the orphanages and soup kitchens. Though, it was when they started becoming healers that things began to change for the better. No longer, were maesters called at all times for healing, if anything having a healer in the family was prefered. My three sister, yes, even my baseborn sister, have decided to take on those studies. Alys even going as far as to Essos to complete her training.
