The Doom Of Valyria, 

102 years before Aegon's Conquest. 



Aelar's Pov, 


Standing on top of the tower as I overlook the stronghold I can't stop the smile that grows on my face. "It's beautiful is it not." My father says as he walks next to me and I feel him place his hand on my shoulder. "It is many can only dream of living in a place like this to be able to walk around her, see our dragons and the things we've build." I say and he let's a small smile grow on his face. 


"You build this with your own hands? Must have missed my eyes than." He says and I roll my eyes at the teasing smirk on his face. "No I did not, but our dragons helped, the magic we hold did. This was all possible of those who came before us, the people whose blood flows through our veins." I say as I look at him before I feel the ground begin to shake making my eyes slightly widen. 

"Be at ease it probably is a fire Wy-" Father starts before he's cut off as we feel the ground shake more intense this time and I think my eyes popped out of my head as I see one of the Fourteen Flames blow up as smoke and fire bursts out of it. 


Seeing Mother's dragon Zyria fly over we soon back away before she lands on the edge while the ground continues to shake while smoke and fire fly in all kind of directions. As she slides of Zyria with wide eyes she runs over to me before grabbing my arm before I see another of the Flames blow into pieces as coughs leave my lips from the smoke that is coming out of it. 

"What is going on?!" I ask them with wide eyes but I see her and father share a look before I hear the roar of Arrax as he flies over through the giant fireballs and the air is just becoming thicker and thicker with the minute. 

"We love you Aelar, never forget that and never forget who you are, you are the prince of Valyria and one day you would have been king." She breaths out before the ground shakes again and more of the volcanos blow apart while I can barely see 5 feet in front of me right now. Are we going to die?! Is this the price we pay for the use of blood magic?! 



"Why are you speaking like we are going to die?!" I ask her before I hear loud roars in the skies and not long after I feel the tower shake more and more while it's just complete chaos around us right now, we can fly away right?! 


"The Targaryen's where right Aelar, you will survive, and you will thrive one day because you are our son." She says before placing a kiss on my forehead with tears in her eyes, making me shake my head. "We can get out together, w-we need to go now." I say but father shakes his head as he grabs his dagger out and hands it to me. "Do never forget who you are, you are our son and therefor the rightful king." He says before mother takes her dagger out and also hands it to me and I shake my head with tears in my eyes before I see a dragon fall down from the sky beside the tower making the ground shake even more while the heat, smoke and fire continues to increase at this moment. 



"Arrax protect him!" Mother yells and before I know it I feel Arrax wrap his massive body around me while my parents take some steps back. "No wait! Please!" I yell at the top of my lungs as I try to move away from Arrax until I see them disappear in the smoke with soft smiles on their faces,  while I hear them chanting blood magic spells and I can't stop the tears that leave my eyes as I try to move away from Arrax who has his whole body wrapped around me.  Looking around me I just see dark red like smoke, and I hear the chaos of the dragons and the people mixing together with the chanting of my parents, is this how we will all die? Is this the price we have to pay for the use of blood Magic? 


"PLEASE!" I yell at the top of my lungs before I feel my vision become blurry and I don't know if it's the smoke or the magic of my parents right now, but not soon later I feel my eyes roll to the back of my head as I fall against the body of Arrax while everything goes black. 




2 Centuries Later, 


Viserys Targaryen The First Pov, 


Looking at the sigil in hand I lay it down on the table before Rhaenyra walks over. "I've never seen that sigil before." She says and I give her a nod. "And you will beside this one never see it again, tell me how many Dragon Rider families do you know?" I ask her as she takes the sigil up and looks it over. 

"One we were the only one who survived the doom, and there have been no records of any other Dragon Rider houses before that. Why do you ask?" She asks me and I point at the sigil. "That sigil once belonged to House Vaelyreos, now from what we know is that Dragon Riders ruled over Valyria and the two strongest houses fought for power. But house Vaelyreos was the one who held the most power, their dragons were said to be so powerful that they destroyed cities and armies in minutes, their magic was so strong that it was said that Aelar the First was the person who first was able to bond with a dragon. They were seen as King's and Queen's but much of their history has been lost just like many things about the Dragon Riders have been lost all but this sigil." I speak and she looks it over once again before tilting her head as she looks at the words underneath it. 


"From the Ashes we will Rise."
