Alicent went pale when she heard what Aemond had done, crying, "Mother have mercy on us all."

Nor was Otto pleased. "You only lost one eye. How could you be so blind?"

"He didnt mean to." ALicent sobbed out holding tightly to Aemond. "He didnt mean to. It was Vhagar, dragons are dangerous!" Alicent shouted. Her perfect baby boy couldn't have done this. He wasn't A Killer.

"They will come for him." Otto warned.

"This never would have happened if you didnt push him to go to storms end!" Alicent hissed.

"I... I'm so sorry." Aemond whispered but he wasnt looking at Alicent, he was looking at Maeve as she went pale. "I didnt mean to, I didnt mean to... I just wanted to scare him a bit. Maeve you have to believe me, I lost control and... Maeve-" She couldnt breathe, her baby brother was dead, she tried to walk off but stumbled falling to her knees and sobbing into her hands.  Alicent looked into his teary eye and kissed him gently. She knew this pain he felt was more for Maeve's sadness then his actual caring what happened to Luke.

Aegon himself did not share their concerns, however. Aegon welcomed Aemond home with a great feast, hailed him as "the true blood of the dragon," and announced that he had made "a good beginning."

"Aegon-" Maeve seathed.

"You wanted me to be King. This shows strength. We cannot show weakness in a time like this." Aegon corrected.

Otto however, was not pleased with this. Yes, he wanted power in total control, but a death like this would need to be avenged. Alicent knew it they would come. They would come for her children now. Her grandchildren, none of them were safe.

"An eye for an eye." Daemon declared. "Lucarys will be avenged."

"They took the crown." Avalon demanded.

"You flew the coop." Davina noted.

"I couldnt stay."

"You think they lied claiming Aegon was named with my brothers dying breath?'

"I dont know." Avalon admitted. "But why not pick me? If he was going to change his mind, why Aegon?"

"Thats the question i have been asking myself as well." Jeremy agreed.

"I'm never getting married." Vaera whined.

"The crown is stained, but you're the real queen. Flesh and blood amongst war machines. " Daya remarked stepping forward. Avalon turned to Daya confused. "My queen." Avalon looked to Davina.

"I dont want Aegon on the throne, he's not fit to rule." Davina assured. "But like hell am I going to let Daemon sit there either. You are our choice. Queen Avalon Targaryen."

"We will fight for your reign."

"Um..." Cregan rose a finger hesitantly. "We swore to-"

"Dont ruin a good moment with honoring previous vows."

"I want to snarl and show you just how disturbed this has made me. " morgana declared.

"Let me guess daemon or aegon?" Davina offered.

"This is despicable. Those men should never sit the throne. "

"What do you know of them?"

"I'm from across the narrow sea I know everything. " Morgana remarked.

"Hard to tell what is true and what's rumor all the way across the narrow sea but hell if you are anti daemon then fine by me." Davina assured. "I'm-"

"Davina Targaryen yes I know and I know you have a victor in your side im here to help. " Morgana agreed.

"I never got your name." Davina countered.

'Morgana of lys. "

"Welcome to westeros, Morgana."

"If this war is coming," cregan remarked grabbing vaeras hand. "I need to make sure the men at the wall have fortified their positions."

"The wall? Its so cold up there." Vaera countered wrapping her arms around him. "And im so nice and warm." Cregan chuckles kissing along her jaw. Davina smiled back at them. Young love. She hoped vaera got her happily ever after. "Come with me. The wall is magnificent." Cregan told her

"We will keep an eye on winterfell." Brandon and jeremy assured but cregan looked to davina.

"You putting me in charge?" Davina teased.

"I dont trust them not to burn this place down." cregan half teased.

"Hes such a kiss ass you already got my blessing for vaera." Davina assured him. "But go on. I will keep an eye on your uncles."

"We could fly. Be there and back in no time." Vaera suggested. Cregan nodded following her to her dragon.

"Is it smart to let them go?" Avalon countered.

"I think so." Davina agreed. "This was will stay south before it comes north. They will swing at each other... hell maybe they kill each other and you are the only one left standing," davina offered.

"Who is that woman?" Avalon questioned glancing back at morgana her long black hair framed her thin face and sunken eyes.

"Shes here to help."

"Wow." Vaera whispered. "The wall is massive." Her dragon landed on top and seemed to peer over scared of what was past the wall. "Its okay baby. Cookie whats wrong?" Vaera questioned.

"Tis said your cookie is not the only one of his kind that is afraid of whats beyond the wall."

"Cookie has mever been afraid of anything." Vaera countered stroking his leg. "Cookie?" He looked to her then cautiously back at the snowy darkness.

"Come." Cregan held out a hand for her and she took it easily. Telling cookie she would return soon. "Stay close some of these men havent seen a woman in ages."

But cookie called and vaera spun back around an incoming of dragon was shouted. Vaera looked to the skies

"Dont shoot if you have such weapons." Vaera instructed. "Its my step brother, Jace."
