six years had passed after the death of laena, and that dreadful funeral that caused so much drama and strife in the noble families of westeros.
the queen has began sitting the throne in place of viserys, as he is nearly too sick to rule.
in this six years, saphrona's life had changed drastically. she had become the sole ruler of eyrie, as aenor had married princess rhaenyra and became royal consort after ser laenor's tragic "disappearance" at sea.
kassian was now twenty and lived in the stormlands with his grandfather, learning how to one day be lord of house baratheon. saphrona and him wrote each other constantly.
dayana was now fifteen and her powers shone more now than ever. she had predicted laenor's disappearance, but she painted her dreams on canvas and she also told no one other than ser godfrey. she had taken on her mother's love of dogs, and raised hunting dogs of her own although she did not hunt.
deacon was thirteen and a force to be reckoned with, he was wild and ruthless much like his father was at his age. he could not wait to rule the vale. it was his passion.
the family spent all of their time in the vale, daemon busying himself making allies with many people in the freelands outside of the seven kingdoms. he loved his family, and loved politicking just as much.

at this time, the family had ridden, well saphrona and godfrey rode as her husband and children flew above. lady jane kept things at eyrie straight.
they had arrived at the red keep just minutes after vaemond had marched in, as they had watched his little display.
saphrona had tied her children's little grullo horses to godfrey's ginger and firefoot marched beside shadowfax on the way to king's landing so everyone had a horse to ride in on from the dragon pit.
as soon as the gate had closed after vaemond, it had opened again for the targaryen's of the vale. they marched in, heads held high.
saphrona saw her two nephews standing at attention and she made sure to smile at them both. lucerys offered a big wave, while the solemn jacerys nodded.
they dismounted their horses and made their way into the keep, where they would attend the royal meeting but first, daemon wanted to see his brother.
no one had greeted them at the castle doors, which was insulting...but expected. saphrona figured rhaenyra had been treated just the same.
saphrona sent the children off, and went on with her husband to see her good brother. she had heard he did not even look the same.
when saphrona had entered the king's bed chambers, she had felt like she had entered a grave. candles burned everywhere, the room was oddly cold though.
