By Maegor's holdfast, where shadows clung,
Helaena knelt, her spirit wrung.
Grief, a crushing weight, upon her throne,
Haunted by whispers, flesh and bone.Visions of sons, a fleeting grace,
Stolen smiles etched on a mournful face.
Jaehaerys' light, forever dimmed,
Maelor's laughter, forever hymned."Gods," she breathed, a plea in vain,
"For their return, I'd etch a bloody stain."
A stir in darkness, a form took hold,
A promise whispered, a story untold.Cloaked in night, a voice that chilled,
Of solace offered, a bargain willed.
Wishes granted, on shadowed breath,
A twisted solace, a dance with death.Helaena scoffed, a hollow sound,
"What comfort in this barren ground?
My sons I yearn for, laughter's chime,
My daughter's safety, lost to time."The wraith shifted, a silent grin,
A future woven, a web of sin.
Laughter echoing, halls alight,
Vengeance swift in the dead of night.
A daughter's bloom, untainted, pure,
Yet distant, love that can't endure.A vision bloomed, a cruel mirage,
Hope's embers flickering in endless rage.
Doubt, a serpent, coiled and tight,
Could shadows mend, or steal the light?Eyes burned with fire, a wordless plea,
A pact to forge, a destiny.
In darkness kneeling, hope's fragile thread,
A mother's bargain, with the unsaid.
