¹°124 AC: LOWER YOUR EXPECTATIONS

"Come on, you lot! Wake up!" Daemerea excitedly ran down the hall, knocking on all her siblings' doors. A few groans could be heard, but most knocks were greeted with silence.

In truth, Daemerea was the only person who was actually excited to meet her father's cousin. She'd heard a lot about Viserys the Peaceful, but mostly from her mother, Elaena.

He was her brother, but she wasn't really as close to him as she was to her other brother, Daemon.

That is why she'd named her second daughter for him. Daemerea's father, Rhaenar, insisted they name their second child after the King, but once she was pregnant with her third, she immediately named her for Daemon.

Her first was a son, Rhaegar, named for his own father.

In truth, Elaena missed her brother. She missed them both. She'd been away from them for so long. She missed the way Daemon would fly with her, and she missed the way Viserys would smile and make her feel better in an instant.

She looked at her young daughter running through the halls, wondering how she'd inherited all the traits she'd once loved about her brothers.

"Mum! Come on! We're going to meet the King!" Daemerea yelled, still running practically all her energy out.

The hall suddenly went quiet, causing Elaena to look at the guard standing next to her with concern.

"Where has she gone?" She asked. "I'm not sure, Princess." Elaena walked down the hall with the guard, Ser Harris Waters, by her side.

They finally reached an open door, which they promptly entered. They found Daemerea standing over her little sister's cradle.

She was whispering something that they couldn't hear. Daemerea picked the babe of only two months up, holding her as she slept.

"Dae..." Her mother spoke softly, but Daemerea held her finger over her mouth. "You'll wake her." Elaena smiled at her daughter as she continued walking with the babe.

"Yes, Gaelie, we're meeting your uncle. He's the King." Elaena heard her daughter say, which made her smile.

"Ser Harris... please keep an eye on them for me." The knight nodded. "Of course, my Princess."

Daemerea stood in her violet dress as the ship finally arrived. She was beyond excited to go to King's Landing.

She didn't just want to meet the King. She wanted to meet everyone. Most of all, she wanted to meet her cousin, Rhaenyra.

She'd been told that her cousin was to become queen. She'd never really met a queen before. Surprisingly, she wanted to meet Queen Alicent as well.

Although King's Landing wasn't far away from Mount Anogrion, it wasn't exactly logical to swim to it.

Aeryn, Daemerea's brother, had asked his mother several times if he could swim instead because he didn't want to get seasick.

Elaena had told him no, of course, but then he tried to convince her to let him fly with his father, which she also shut down.

The only dragons that were big enough to fly on were the three eldest dragons, Aegarax, Vaelax, and Laerion.

Elaena had chosen to leave Vaelax on the island. She wanted to be with her children.

Rhaenar didn't see the need to be with his children when his wife was already there, so he took the opportunity to go on a quick flight to King's Landing on Aegarax, taking his son, Rhaegar, and his dragon Laerion with him.
