"Perhaps I was meant to burn alone in this world."
Aelyna Targaryen, the realms terror. Her life had been nothing but one great tragedy. War has loomed over her head since the minute she breathed air.

Aelyna wished that had been the end of it all. The battle lines drawn between Rhaenyra and Alicent, but alas only more madness ensued. The aftermath had only taken a turn for the worst, death had continued to follow her.
After the death of Laenor Velaryon, Rhaenyra had taken a new husband. Bounded by blood in the traditions of Old Valyria, the two had joined their families. None of their children approved, but none's resentment was as strong as Aelyna's. The girl was no fool, and yet Rhaenyra and Daemon played her as one. She was familiar with the whispers amongst others of the coincidence of the betrothal of the prince and princess. How perfectly timed it was of both to take one another shortly after Laenor and Laena's death. Aelyna knew there was more to it, nothing ever happens just as it does.
Rhaenyra stood cradling Joffrey at her side as she watched Aelyna flying Vermithor. Since moving to Dragonstone, she spent many of her days in her chambers or up in the sky. Aelyna avoided Rhaenyra like the plague, it ached Rhaenyra to see her cousin become so distant with her. She still remembered the argument raised against both and Daemon when they had broken the news to the children.
"You fucking idiots!" Aelyna cursed at them. Still on Driftmark as the kings boat had left the dock. Laenor's funeral shortly held after his sisters, within days in fact. The three dragons Helaena, Aegon and now Aemond following back to Kingslanding. "It it not enough that both your husband and your lover has died- now you wish to take my father as well?" She argued
"I more than anyone understand your shock, cousin. By I swear to you, on my mothers name, there is no sick ploy behind these events." The cousins sat across from one another in Aelyna's chamber. Aelyna's eyes staring a hole back into Daemon
"And you? You wish to make my cousin my mother?" Aelyna said. She stood from the table as she paced herself up and down "What you two is not only dangerous, it is idiotic."
"What we are doing is nothing less of what our ancestors have done for years. Binding the house of the dragon as Aegon the conqueror did when he took his sister- wives." Daemon argued with his daughter "You know as well as I, this-" he placed his hand on Rhaenyra's. She enveloped her hand with his "Is far from their last attack on not only Rhaenyra, but her children as well."
Aelyna scoffed sighing into her hands as she looked back to them "Can anything in this family, for once not be about that ugly iron chair?!" she exclaimed "Your sons have lost two fathers, Baela and Rhaena have barely mourned Laena's death. I have barely mourned- how is the unity of joining our families more important to the both of you than your children?"
