The Death of War

Chapter 2

Visenya talks to Daemon, Rhaenyra and Aemond. The three travelers meet some of Visenya and Aemond's children. I hope you guys like it. 🥰

"Wow." Visenya looked at the three people in the tent before looking at her husband. "This is very strange."

"I know," Aemond answered.

"I was not expecting you so soon, I thought it would be a bit longer." She moved around the table and then stopped next to a younger version of her husband. It was shocking to see how similar and yet how different the two were. Especially because the younger Aemond had only one eye. "What happened to your eye?"

"Gods, Visenya." Her husband gave her an exasperated look. "Did your mother not tell you to stop asking people personal questions?"

"Are you telling me that another version of you appears missing an eye and you have not asked him what happened?" Visenya's look was amused. "If another version of me ever shows up, feel free to ask her what happened." Visenya sat between her husband and the younger Aemond before looking at him again. "So tell me, what happened to your eye?"

Her husband groaned but did not say anything. The younger Aemond was looking at her like she had sported wings and flown around the room. He seemed not to know what to do with her, or how to even answer her question. He stared at her for a few minutes before clearing his throat.

"I lost it in a fight years ago." His voice was exactly like her husband's and even when she knew he was technically Aemond, it still surprised her.

"How old were you?" She was curious, because he looked to be younger than twenty, so he must have been a child when he lost it.

"I was ten." One of his hands went to the patch covering his left eye, but he stopped himself before touching it. "It was the same day I claimed Vhagar."

"So you ride Vhagar also?" While she had been expecting it, she could not be sure. He was from a different world after all.

"He stole her." Visenya's eyes jumped to a younger version of her mother. This Rhaenyra was not that much younger, but enough that Visenya could see it. She could also see the pain in the woman's eyes, it was crippling. "He should have never claimed her."

"Uhm..." Visenya looked at her husband who shrugged before taking a sip of his wine, before looking at another version of the woman she had loved since birth. "Can you really steal a dragon?" Rhaenyra's eyes widened and Visenya shrugged. "If Vhagar was free there is no reason why he should not have attempted to claim her. That is what Targaryens are supposed to do."

"The only reason Vhagar was free, was because her rider had just passed." Daemon glared at her, which amused Visenya. "He did it on the night of her funeral."

"Who was Vhagar's rider before him?" In this world the last person to ride Vhagar before her husband had been her grandsire Baelon.

"Laena Velaryon," Daemon answered like that was supposed to explain everything.

Visenya's eyes widened and then she burst out laughing. Daemon, Rhaenyra, and Aemond looked completely baffled, while her husband shook his head. She could not help but find the situation hilarious. In this world, if Laena had ever attempted to claim Vhagar the dragon would have burnt her to a crisp.

"I am sorry." She attempted to stop herself from laughing, but it took her almost a minute before she was able to stop. She wiped the tears on the corner of her eyes and shook her head. "I am sorry, but that is a very funny thought."
