— the stranger followed deyanyra targaryen all of her life.
even from inside the womb, she could not escape him. when she was borne just hours after her twin, she left her mother's body with the umbilical cord tied around her neck and her face unnaturally blue. the maesters believed her to already be dead. unsalvageable. ruined.
until they cut it and the gods breathed life back into her lungs. the stranger could not take her yet.
he would, however, take her mother, lucerea targaryen hightower, two days later. her body had been fighting an endless battle against her ailments for many moons prior, weakening impossibly further upon her taxing pregnancy and brutal labor of twin girls.
the stranger swept her away easily.
— deyanyra targaryen was not afraid of the stranger.
she met him with the familiarly of an expected visit from a longtime friend. for she knew it was not her time to leave with him yet. the gods had a purpose for her that she was yet to fulfill, but she eagerly awaited the day she would.
she did not fear him, she lived alongside him.
— she craved death.
day by day, deyanyra lived confined to the restriction of man.
she watched her mother die by it. she watched her sister fear by it. she watched her friends crippled by it. she watched herself violated by it. she watched her children suffocate by it. she watched her queen discarded and robbed and deprived by it.
she wanted them all to die.
and deyanyra targaryen would be the one to hand them to the stranger himself.
