THE GREAT HALL WAS SO SILENT THAT PIN DROPS COULD BE HEARD FROM ESSOS. the only thing that could be heard was a fire cracking over the charcoal. Dragonstone didn't have many allies so not many people would attend 

It had been five years since their last visit to Westeros. the now seven and ten-year-old Aezura stood before the gods of Valyria and yellow dress laced with red strings with a crown made of Valyrin driftwood 

she stood before Viserrys who wore the similar silk gown for men as he held the dragon glass dagger that was forged and made in the dragon mountain. Aezura never looked up to meet Viserys's deep purple eyes. Her eyes were always glued on the floor or Rhaegar who watched from afar next to his mother and father 

The Velaryons stood on the other side of the hall watching deeply how Valryain wedding's worked, the Celtigars were just a lot of old men who didn't have anything better to do. They were Dragonstone's only allies in this world 

Viserys handed the dragon glass dagger to his younger sister. the touch of the cold blade nearly sliced Aezura's hand but she took it gracefully, it seemed as though no one in the room was happy about it, Aerion was too drunk to even think about it.

Aezura cut her bottom lip with her taking the blood and putting it on Viserys's forehad similar to how the boy did it to her earlier. Aezura did her best to not taste the metallic blood spilling from her lips 

she then pulled the dagger towards her the palm of her hand the knife glided across her soft palm as Aezura did nothing but stare at her mom with no feelings towards the bleeding palm she then gave the dagger to the officiate who began to read out a book from old valyria 

Aezura and Viserys both held each other's hand with the cut on it as their blood mixed together as the officiate spoke in high valryian the wine cup was passed as Viserys drank from it with herbs that survived the doom

the wine was given to Aezura. The wine filled with disgusting herbs slipped down her cold throat. Her mother always told her that the wine would taste horrible but it was meant to show how much of a Targaryen you are if you could take it 

Aezura did her best not to cringe at the wine's color as she gave it back to the officiate who was finished with his words one of the maesters came forward and put a scarf with symbols of dragons over Aezura and Viserys joined hands and blood could  be seen pour through the cloth down like a waterfall

Aezura imagined it was her tears. she made eye conat with Rhaegar who stared at her lognigly the whole ceremony. Rhaegar didn't recognize his older sister covered in valryain silk and visery's blood but she looked hot. Rhaegar thought

when the ceremony was over the guests al around the hall in Dragonstone would begin to mingle around wine cups in hand as they laughed. Viserys was talking to Daemon velaryon. Valaena's uncle. 

It was clear he didn't want to be anywhere near him as his father kept bringing hm back into conversations. Rhaegar looked around for Aezura but could not find her anywhere.

she went down to the edge of ddragonstone looking out on the sea ahead. she might think this sounds crazy but if you suint your eyes you couldsee essos. or maybe ti was another ship passing by.

Rhaegar approached his sister "You not inside?" he asked coming down the stairs "I don't think brother can take our father's speeches much longer" he laughed noticing his sisters stare out in the open dark waters of the narrow sea

"What troubles you" he asked placing his sword down on the wall. He carried it around ever since his brother saved him from raiders in Lannisport who tried to attack him in their own chambers years ago. he decided from that day he wouldn't just be the musical sibling 

Rhaegar always confused Aezura. She didn't know what to feel when it came to him. she did not want to marry Viserys nor did he want to marry her they were both in their own worlds. however, with Rhaegar Aezura felt she could be herself with him. 

He always knew how to make her laugh and taught her a lot of things on the harp and was exceptional and dancing even if he got stares from everyone which was what aezura admired a lot.

"Do you ever wonder what the rest of Westeros looks like?" Aezura asked it was out of pocket for her to say but she also didn't have much to say it awkward moments like this 

"I think you should first start by looking the right way to Westeros," Rhaegar told his sister, his pale hands found their way under Aezura's chin turning her head the right way to Westeros. Azura rolled her eyes and shoved Rhaeagars hands off of her they both laughed as the night grew colder

"Its not fair" Aezura said s she crossed her arms "We don't get treated with any respect around the place," Aezura said going off in the direction that faced Westerosc"Balerion could burn an entire kingdom in just one breath" Aezura said to her brother "Im sure he could"

"They don't get to treat us like this" Aezura said "Well when father dies you and Viserys will become Lord and lady of dragonstone so maybe you can something about it" Rhaegar said as she held out his hand for aezura to take 

Aezura smiled at her brother as he led her back into the gates of the only home they ever knew
