"Your grace," A guard rushes through the door, both Rhaenrya and I turn, I lower my head at the mistake but Rhaenrya shakes her head stepping behind me.
"Yes," I shout back.
"A raven has been sent from Rooks nest, Ser Criston Cole has attacked them, and the lord there is begging for help."
I quickly turn to my mother who nods her head, "Go."
Instantly, I run to Dragons Keep and mount Drogon. Right before I take off to Rooks Nest, I watch as Daemon and Rhaenys do the same, following me.
Moments, after I reach Rooks Nest, Rhaenys and Daemon's dragons, start spitting fire across the field, burning Ser Criston's entire army to the ground. I land Drogon, sliding off of my saddle the moment I notice Ser Criston running for the castle. I run, as fast as my legs can take me, fighting soldiers on the side. Finally catching up to him, I push him to the ground with my sword directly in front of him.
"Any last words?" I grind my teeth, a smirk on my face.
"You are just as your whore of a mother was as a child," He spits.
"Are you honestly still hurt from not getting any cunt?" I chuckle and his face grows red. He pulls his sword out but before he can move any more I stab the sword right through his chest, killing him instantly.
I take a deep breath, enjoying the freedom for a moment until I hear a dragon shriek, first Meleys and then Sunfrye. I quickly look up to see Meleys and Rhaenys falling hard to the ground and Sunfrye and Aegon following. I move, faster than I did before, toward where Aegon and Sunfrye fell. I only get a glance of Aegon lying on the ground before I hear Vhagar's roar behind me and then it all goes black.

My head lifts from the pillow, a room only I can recognize. Aegons. I quickly move to the edge of the bed but a weight overloads me. I lower my head to my stomach, a very large baby bump.
"Ah, you're awake, Flame."
"Aegon?" I whisper.
He kneels in front of me, a hand going on my large stomach, "How's our little fire starter?"
My mouth opens but nothing comes out, I can barely take a breath. Is this real? A knock is heard from the chamber door and a maid walks in with twin boys.
"Ah here's our boys," Aegon smiles as he takes them both.
"Mommaa, Hi!!" Both boys run in, a smile large across their faces.
"My boys, hello," I whisper, pinching one's cheeks and kissing the other.
"Am I dreaming?" I ask Aegon, tears falling from my eyes. He only smiles.

And then it's all over. I'm back on that battlefield, in front of me in Daemon shaking me awake.
"You must get up, Aemma. We have to get out of here." Daemon shouts, harshly pulling me onto my feet. "Aemond has left, he was here one moment and gone the next!"
"He's out? Aegon said he-"
He grabs my shoulders, staring into my eyes, "Aegon is our enemy, Daughter. You must get this nonsense your mother told you out of your head! Your brother is dead because of him!"
The tears from the dream dry up, anger overtaking my body once again. I shrug Daemon off of me, walking to mount Drogon when I see Aegon, limping back to Sunfrye who can barely lift himself up. He turns his head toward mine, our eyes meeting and softening.
He tilts his head and mouths, "I'm so sorry."
I turn my head back and take off back to Dragonstone, with the memory of the dream stuck into my head.

I reach Dragonstone, limping towards Rhaenrya who stands in the doorway.
"Oh my daughter," She whispers, gripping the side still dripping blood.
"I'm okay," I shrug her off.
Once again a guard, but this time with the Dragon keeper with him, rushes to Rhaenrya and I.
"Your grace, a large dragon, looking to be Vhagar took off moments after you landed."
"What does he think he's doing here?!" I grind my teeth, turning on my heels back to Drogon but behind me, Lady Massey rushes out of the castle a terrified look on her face and blood dripping off her head.
"Massey!" Rhaenrya rushes to her, "What has happened?"
"A- Aem-" She sobs, almost hyperventilating.
"You must breathe," Rhaenrya shushes her, attempting to calm her the best she could.
"He came into the chambers, I tried to stop him but he- he-" Lady Massey takes a deep breath before continuing. "He took Joffery."
My face grows pale, I quickly turn to the side, vomiting from the shock and the amount of blood I've lost just standing here. Guards are quickly thrown into a rage, rushing around the grounds like dogs off a leash. I quickly pick myself up, slowly throwing myself over Drogon.
"Aemma, you mustn't," Daemon shouts from the ground. "You've lost too much blood."
"I won't allow him to take another one of my brothers from me, father."
I once again take off, making my way to Rooks Nest first, hoping for my young brother to be there but the moment I reach, I can already see Vhagar and Aemond standing above a small body on the burnt ground. I land Drogon and my eyes meet Aemond who smirks, his one eye so dark and evil and his other open showing the Saphire in its place. I grip the saddle on Drogon, forcing him to move toward Vhagar screaming the only word to think of, "Dacarays." Drogon is 2x the size of Vhagar, the firepower being many times hotter than Vhagars, burning the side of her face so bad I watch as parts of it slowly slide down onto the ground below her. I also watch as Aemond ducks his head but it was too late, his entire side completely burnt just as his dragon is. I go to say the word once again but my eye catches Sunfrye above, moving my attention for only a moment but just enough for Vhagar to swish around, knocking me off of Drogon and bashing my head straight into the ground.
