THE ARCANE QUEEN From the memories and sources collected by Grand Maester Samuel Tully 282-294 A.C
According to the servants of the Red Keep who had the honor of serving Princess Elia Martell, Visenya Targaryen was as similar to her mother as she was different. In her youth, she did not display the boldness typical of Dorne; instead, she was docile, silent, and servile, with a fragile appearance and the demeanor of an old woman. Despite being the target of malice and abuse from a very young age, she never complained and rarely shed tears, even after severe punishments.
Tall and slender, with a sweet face and a rare smile, her violet eyes, described as a striking indigo, and olive skin blended the classic Valyrian features with the exotic traits of the Martells, making her one of the most beautiful women in the realm.
Many believed that Robert Baratheon would marry her to his younger brother or his firstborn to consolidate his house's claim to the throne. No one could have imagined that such an important political hostage would soon become a creature capable of attracting the gaze of lords and princes, but certainly not to be desired as a wife.
In the year 292 AC, the slave of King's Landing bled for the first time. In the small council meeting that followed, Jon Arryn advised the king to marry the young girl to a close relative or a man incapable of having children, so that no one could make a claim to the throne. However, Robert Baratheon and Tywin Lannister disagreed, preferring to dishonor the girl in another way: ensuring she would not be desirable as a bride. The event took place the day after the meeting when George Chaster was ordered to consummate a union with the Targaryen. The direct murderer of her sister, Rhaenys, was more than happy to comply, making the consummation as painful as possible for Visenya.
In the following months, according to sources close to the Targaryen, she spent most of her time bedridden in the halls of the Red Keep, as if she had never existed, as if she hadn't been born from a blood-soaked body in the throne room.
But the decisions of those powerful lords awakened something hidden within the young woman's soul. A seed, planted by the gods, began to sprout, nourished by the devotion of her nurse, who would later state in letters that something extraordinary had arisen in Visenya.
From her passivity emerged a sudden and mysterious change. Prophetic dreams tormented her, transforming her character and granting her an unknown strength. In 293 AC, the docile Visenya Targaryen, whom few cared about, suddenly disappeared.
