the great war

the godsroom

Hope woke up and she saw her aunt Freya, after that she knew that her mom had died and she was alone. She couldn't help by cry, she blamed herself and she knew she would never forgive herself for that.

She was officially the most power girl in the kingdom.

Alicent interrupted and help Hope get ready for the funeral. The royal black dress had just been made by the tailors at the palace so that Hope would look gorgeous in it and to honor the late princess Hayley.

-So... Alicent was nervous to ask anything. Do you want to talk?

-No. I really just want to get dress and go day goodbye to my mom. Hope said looking at Alicent's reflection on the mirror.

-Okay, I guess no make up today only sunscreen.

Alicent dressed Hope, and brushed her hair.

Freya knock at the door it was time and for the first time Hope had to bury someone she loved.

Everyone at the palace saw Hope and her ladies walk in the halls to the funeral and they saw the young princess pain, it was like she irradiated it, she was not the sun in the room she was the darkness and even though she was not crying on the outside she was in the inside.

They arrived at the lake.

Hope looks at her mom's coffin and sees the necklace she used to wear.

-May I? She asked to her aunt Freya.

-Of course. Freya said with tears in her eyes, she pick up the necklace and put it on Hope. -It's time Hope.

Hope looked at the sky and her dragon was ready to burn the coffin with little remains and things of Hayley. She looked at her grandparents and with tears in her eyes she did it.

-Goodbye mom, Dra-dracarys. And just like that the little that was left of her mother was ashes. Hope hadn't felt this heartache before. Her direwolfs were right by her side to comfort her.

Her family and her mother's friends all talked to everyone but Hope they just said weird things like riddles and metaphors instead of saying sorry for your lost. Hope left to find Alicent who had left minutes before her cause this remained her of her mother's funeral. Hope knew exactly the place Alicent was, the godsroom.

Hope enter the godsroom and saw her best friend praying, she got closer and Alicent got up.

-You can pray with me if you want.But you are angry. Said Alicent softly.

-I am not angry, am... She struggled to find the word but she knew she was angry at the world. Very well, yes I am angry.

-At what or at who?

-At everything at everyone.

-Hope you are angry at someone say the name or names

-My grandfather, my family especially my uncle Elijah and a little bit at my father. I just... I hate that they...

-You hate that your Father isn't here, and hate your Uncle Elijah cause he isn't here either but i don't get why you are angry at your grandfather?

-She sees me as little girl, I want him to see me as more, to teach me how to rule and to be a good ruler, but I can't even talk to him. And my grandmother just died a year ago and they are trying to marry him so he can replace me as heir.

-You grandfather loves you, he chose you for he's heir. My father also doesn't understand the language of girls.

-He didn't chose me my father flee from his duty and non of my uncle's want that responsibility and his brother is just awful he didn't chose me. I was the last resort. But to my mom I was always the first choice

-Come. Alicent said while she turns another candle.

Hope walks and kneels to pray with her

-What do I say?

-Whatever you wish. It's only for you and the God's to know.

Hope tries to pray and without wanting to she is crying, Alicent grabs her hand and comforts her.
