Aaliyah Sepher is the youngest queen the people of the sky have ever known. For the Sepher an heir is not chosen by the king but chosen by a greater power. The ruler would be born with pure silver hair and the mark of a dragon on her back one for ea...

As I stood next to Rhaenyra with our arms hooked we watched over at Laenas casket. "We join today at the Seat of the Sea to commit the Lady Laena of House Velaryon. To eternal waters, the dominion of the Merling King. Where he will guard her for all days to come. As she sets to sea for her final voyage. The Lady Laena leaves two true-born daughters on the shore. Through their mother will not return from her voyage. Salt courses through Velaryon blood. Ours runs thick. Ours runs true. And ours must never thin.", Vaemond spoke.
Daemon let out a laugh and I look over at him. Laenas casket slowly lowers. "My gentle niece. May the winds be as strong as your back. Your seas as calm as your spirit, and your nets be as full as your heart. From the sea we came. To the sea we shall return.", Vaemond continued as Laenas body went into the water.
Rhaenyra and I walked down the steps our eyes meeting Daemon. We moved our eyes and I see Alicent give Rhaenyra a look. Rhaenyra and I turn to our left to figure out where Laenor was. We walked over to Jacaerys and Vaenya. "Have you seen your father?", Rhaenyra asked Jacaerys.
"Your little cousins have just lost there mother. They could use a kind word.", I told them. "I have an equal claim to sympathy.", Jace said. "Jace.", I whispered. "He's right. They should be at Harrenhal. Mourning Lord Lyonel and Ser Harwin.", Vaenya said. "It would not be appropriate sweetie. The Velaryons are our kin the Strongs are not.", Rhaenyra stated. "Look at us. Do you both understand?", I asked. Jace grabbed Vaenyas hand and they walked off.
Rhaenyra and I continued go watch Daemon. And see as Viserys walks over to Daemon. Suddenly he storms off at Rhaenyra and I look at each other. I see our children standing over by Laenas and we walk over to them. "Go to bed.", I stated. "But Mother..", Vaenera whispered. "Go to bed and I stay there children.", Rhaenyra said.
"Let's follow him.", I stated as we walked away from the children. "Lyah.", Rhaenyra whispered. "He'll want to see us trust me.", I told her grabbing her hand. And just like that we were following Daemon down the steps.
Rhaenyra and I stood with Daemon as we walked and I was in the middle. "Laenor has been restless for years, but now he will be useless.", Rhaenyra said. "Or worse.", I stated as Daemon looked at me. "I know better than anyone our marriage is a farce. But I at least make the effort to maintain appearances.", Rhaenyra added. "You have more to lose.", Daemon replied.
"Yes well that has been a lot since my father named me heir. We did try to convince a child. But we weren't as lucky as Aaliyah and you. And there was no joy in it unlike with Aaliyah.", Rhaenyra stated. "It feels good to be desired.", I whispered. Daemon looks at the both of us with a smile. "I understand Ser Harwin was quite devoted to Rhaenyra.", Daemon said. "Very much.", I stated.
"I trusted him. Should've forbidden Ser Harwin from returning to the Riverlands. Harrens curse us said to be as strong now as it was after the Conquest.", Rhaenyra whispered. "That's a ghost story. One Ser Otto and the Queen would gladly exploit.", Daemon said."Rhaenyra does not believe Alicent is capable of cold murder.", I stated. "Each of us is capable of depravity. And more than you would believe.", Daemon said.
"I believe it of you.", Rhaenyra replied. "If you're accusing me of some depravity. You'll need to be more specific.", Daemon told her. "Aaliyah and I have been alone. You only went to her when you wanted to feel loved. You abandoned us Daemon.", Rhaenyra stated. "I spared you both. You both were children.", Daemon whispered.
"Yes. Yes we were children but look at what our life became without you fully being there.", I responded. Rhaenyra and I rolled our eyes and turned to walk away but Daemon grabbed our hands. "Oh and I wonder what you both think of mine by comparison?", Daemon questioned. "We know little of it. All Aaliyah knows is what you tell her and all I know is what she tells me.", Rhaenyra answered.
"Did you love her?", I asked. "We were happy enough.", Daemon whispered. "Well that in itself is a great achievement. We are sorry.", Rhaenyra said. "Don't be. I am at least allowed to mourn my losses.", Daemon said. Rhaenyra and I moved closer to him. "Rhaenyra. Aaliyah.", he whispered . "We are no longer children.", I whispered placing a kiss on his lips as Rhaenyra placed one on his neck.
