THE TOURNAMENT OF THE DRAGON CHAPTER THREE 23rd of 9th moon of 112AC
◈◆◈◆◈◆◈◆◈
At the tourney's tent for House Targaryen's competitors, Maegor and Daemon put on their tournament armor with the help of a squire. The first jousts have started and a young knight named Criston Cole from the Stormlands has just bested two of the Baratheon competitors. Next goes Daemon, competing for House Targaryen, he enters the lists and chooses to joust against Otto Hightower's eldest son, Gawyne Hightower. He plays dirty, but he bests the Hightower lad. It's Maegor's turn to enter the lists and choose his opponent. The Maester of Revels announces Maegor.

"Prince Maegor of House Targaryen, The Savage Prince, will now choose his first opponent!" the Maester says. Maegor enters the lists with his black stallion and lance in hand. He goes around the list, passing by potential opponents from various houses. He then points to the knight of House Tyrell. "For his first challenge, Prince Maegor Targaryen chooses Ser Lyonel Tyrell. Heir to Highgarden, the seat of House Tyrell." the Maester of Revels announces. Maegor and Lyonel go to their respective ends of the lists, while the other knights take their leave.
Maegor spurs his mount, making the Tyrell spur his. They ride against each other and once their lances clash, the impact of Maegor's lance knocks Lyonel Tyrell to the ground. The squire serves him with a new lance and he paces to the royal cabin, stopping in front of the balcony. Rhaenyra and Alicent approach the balcony to greet Maegor, smiling and applauding with the crowd.
"Very well done, cousin." Rhaenyra says. "Yes. A great performance." Alicent says. "My lady. My Princess. You both look wonderful, but I was hoping to get the Princess Rhaenyra's favour. Not that I need it, of course." Maegor says, smirking. She goes grab her favour and comes back, Maegor puts the end of his spear close to the balcony in order for Rhaenyra to give him her favour. She does and it falls to the guard of Maegor's lance. "Good luck to you, my Prince. Not that you need it, of course." Rhaenyra jests. Maegor exits the lists. More combatants joust and loose.
Maegor's next joust is against Ser Royce Bolton. Maegor wins again with ease by aiming at the knights helmet instead of his shield, playing dirty. Daemon jousts after Maegor, against the one knight who is acing the jousts, Ser Criston Cole. Daemon looses to him after falling off his horse and then because of his pride, he is forced to yield in hand-to-hand combat. More combatants joust and are disqualified.
The only jousters left are Maegor and Criston. "Ser Criston Cole, will now tilt against Ser Maegor Targaryen, The Savage Prince!" the Maester of Revels says. Maegor enters the lists. Each of them at one end. "Ya!" Maegor spurs his mount. They go once, both hitting each other's shields, none of them fall. They grab their second lance and this time, Maegor shifts in his saddle right before impact, making Criston's lance hit air while his own lance hits Criston hard. He demands the tilt be continued in a contest of arms. "My sword!" Maegor demands. The squire brings him his sword and the two fight. Maegor dodging Criston's first attacks and then throwing attacks of his own. Maegor uses his shield and kicking as ways to take Criston by surprise and throw him off balance. Blow after blow, Maegor makes Criston fall, letting go of his weapon in the process. Only with his shield, Ser Criston gets overwhelmed by Maegor's attacks. After destroying what was left of Criston's shield, Maegor puts the end of his sword to Criston's throat, making a light cut. "Yield!" Maegor shouts. "I yield!" Criston finally surrenders.
