This story takes place on a cold December night....
During a winter storm...
A quiet and cold castle.....
When the echo's bounce off the walls of a baby's cry...
And a mothers last gasp of breath filled the air....
Princess Rhaenys looks at her sister with tears in her eyes .
"Please don't leave me lyanna" she whispers tears pricking her eyes.
"I'm so sorry rhaenys I should have told you" Lyannas quivering breath let's out.
" I loved him and now my precious laenyra , raise her as your own, and one day she may be Lady of the Tides" she whispers with slow breaths. Rhaenys watches as her sister takes her last breath.
Tears fell out of her eyes...
Why?
Why was her poor sister, who was always sharing kindness and love for everyone...she didn't deserve to die like this.
All because of that man she loved.
Everyone in the realm knew of their hidden love they shared between each other.
Lyanna targaryen and Otto hightower
Who fell for who first?
Did Princess lyanna fall in love with her cousins hand or did the hand of the king fall in love with a princess.
It was the first time Otto Hightower showed any feelings and love for anyone.
But it all came crashing to an end when the two were found coupling in the high gardens at the night of the owl.
Princess lyanna was sent away to marry Lord vaemond valaryon and Otto ended up being forced back at his wife's side with their son and daughter on the way.
But no one.....
Not even Otto..... Knew of Lyannas secret she was hiding that was caused by their love affair.
A baby born of two worlds hidden away....
The midwife brought the baby back cleaned off....
But, something was discovered...a unique trait.
" Princess rhaenys come look at the baby" one of the maids called.
Rhaenys looked at her sister one last time before she went to the child. When she stared down at the baby her eyes and hair were strange.
One green and the other one purple.
Her hair was a beautiful chocolate brown like her fathers but the bottom of her hair was a Targaryen silver like her mother. She was different but beautiful...but the one thing that distracted Rhaenys was the icy cold touch of the child's skin, it felt like she was kissed by the cold storm winds.
Rhaenys wrapped the child in the cloth and went out into the hallway were the rest of the kingdom was waiting.
They all stared at her
" Its a girl how lovely, when can we see lyanna" Queen Aemma says with glee.
Rhaenys looks at her as tears come out of her eyes
" Lyanna didn't survive the birth" Rhaenys explained.
The hall went cold and quiet once more,
It was a surprise when the princess came on dragon back in labor looking for her sister and Otto.
viserys gives Rhaenys a look and then turns to the guard behind him
"summon Otto hightower at once he deserves to be here, but keep quiet"
The guard leaves and then a few minutes later Otto is walking towards the group.
" You wanted me your highness" Lord hightower speaks
The king turns and looks at him before he gives him a look of sadness, then rhaenys walks out from behind aemma with the precious child in her arms. Otto looks in disbelief.
"Lyanna arrived on dragon back a few hours ago in labor" Viserys explained
"where is she i must see her" Otto says in a panic.
The hallway goes silent once more, everyone looks to the ground.
"Shes dead, she died in child birth" Rhaenys says coldly
" She called for you when she arrived, the child is yours Otto" The Queen exclaimed.
"I need to see her, I must see her" Otto expresses.
He goes walking into the room, he walks over to her bed side, it's quiet and his beautiful girl looks different. He bent down next to her and grabbed her hand, she was cold and pale. Even in death she was still the most beautiful girl in the kingdom. He placed one last kiss to her lips before he left the room.
" I shall take the child and raise her on my own, Its what lyanna would have wanted" Otto says
" No I will take her, you weren't even there for my sister you tossed her aside the minute life got hard, she had been suffering ever since you went back to your wife" Rhaenys yells at him.
"That's my child and i will not let you take the last part of lyanna i have left" Otto released.
" The baby will becoming home with me to driftmark, everyone believes the child is vaemonds, i will teach her how to be a lady." Rhaenys told him.
Otto clenches his fist and turns and looks at viserys, A look of pleading and help.
" The child will go to Rhaenys and you Otto will go back to your family" The king told Otto
" Please just let me say good bye " Otto exclaims.
He grabs the baby and kisses her head before pulling an emerald green diamond necklace.
"Please give this to her Rhaenys it was lyannas" Otto tells her well handing the baby back.
Otto doesn't argue instead he leaves the hall
That was the day Otto's once warm heart turned cold and dark.
Meanwhile princess Rhaenys left the hall with the child , her sisters body was to be sent to driftmark for a proper goodbye.
She climbed onto the dragon with the baby and left in the night storm.
