Lady Lannister || Game of Thrones

Dragons return to Dragonstone

When Daemon received the raven from his eldest son he had cried with happiness. As had his mother who was delighted that they were allowed to return home to the Seven Kingdoms. They had started collecting everything they owned and started to make their way to their ancestral seat of Dragonstone.

When they arrival they were greeted by half of Johanna's personal guard, the half of whom had travelled to Dragonstone rather than the North with their sworn Lady.  

She had told them that they were to greet her family members and treat them like the Royals they were.

When Rhaella had returned to Dragonstone she had collapsed in sobs as she kissed the sand beneath her feet and Daemon himself had to fight off tears of relief and the overwhelming sense of belonging.

Viserys who had very little memory of his time as a Prince of the Realm also had tears in his eyes as his mother hugged him.

Daenerys who had no memory of living anywhere but the Free Cities frowned her confusion as she looked up at the grand castle of Dragonstone as she looked at her family who were in tears as soldiers bowed to them and called them "My King", "My Prince" or "Dowager Queen". She was also very confused when they turned to her and called her "Princess" she had never been anything but Daenerys before.

"Where are my children?" is the first thing Daemon asks as they are lead into Dragonstone "I was hoping they would be here."

"The Princes and Princesses are to join you and take up residence soon my King," the solider leading them says "They are coming from the North, where Robert Baratheon is asking Ned Stark to be the Hand."

Daemon nods as the soldier looks at him "The Queen has told Lady Ceryse Hightower, Lady Daena Blackfyre, Ser Arthur Cole, Septa Alysanne and Lady Tyrin Arryn is to be here while the House is settled before rejoining Ser Sebastian Cooke with the Queen."

"My wife has everything planned."

"Yes, my King. Lord Otto Hightower is to join us here as your Hand after his daughter is to go with the Lady Arryn back to Kingslanding."

Daemon cannot help but smile when he hears  that his wife had thought of every thing he could ever need.

Johanna looks around from watching her children getting ready to leave her for Dragonstone from a balcony above the courtyard as Robert had banned her for saying goodbye. Tears stream down her cheeks, her only saving grace as that Aemond and Rhaena were to remain with her, but even then only for another month before they turned 12 and where old enough to join their siblings at Dragonstone.

Rhaena and Aemond both even though they were too old still took their mother's hands as they watched their siblings preparing to leave them.

Ned Stark and Catelyn watched their Queen from a window sadly as they watched her wave to her daughters who waved back after bowing their heads and bending their knees to their mother before they climbed into the carriage waiting for them.

Ten of Johanna's guards waited ahead and behind the carriage while another four waited behind and in front of Aegon and Aemond who mounted their horses in front of the carriage after bowing to their mother who bowed her head to them.

Tears streamed down the Queen's face as she watched her children leave her for Dragonstone as they rode out of the courtyard with her personal guard, guarding them.

Lady Daena and Lady Ceryse were in a carriage behind the Targaryen children with Ser Arthur leading of the party, Septa Alysanne was on the cart with their trunks that took up the rear of the Targaryen party.

Johanna looked over her shoulder at Lady Tyrin who bowed her head as they both looked back at the departing party with sad looks although it was only Johanna who had tears falling down her face.

"I will never forgive him for this," Johanna tells Lady Tyrin who looks at her Queen. "He has taken my heart and stabbed it to many times. He will be hurt for this."

"I will help in anyway I can, my Queen" Lady Tyrin vows which draws a grateful smile from the woman she serves.
