ever since i was little i always loved walking to the lake with my mother, we would entertwine our hands and she would point out the ducks, i paid them no mind i was to focused on my mothers face...she always looked so sad "Queen Helaena the kind" they called her. My mother was the most beautiful woman i had ever seen she was so soft her eyes..they were the colour of rain clouds, grey, most of the time her eyes were all red and puffy, her eyes glossy, her hair was white, i liked it best when it was down, sitting down past her shoulder blades. My fondest memory is when we would walk with our shoes long gone, my mother was wearing a blue dress. A small gold corset made her look like she had stolen the moon's beauty. she held my hand as we walked one step after another into the blue lake. I got scared and she held me close to her chest. I remember she smelled of books and jasmine. I could hear her heart beating and the water around us. Once we went back to the castle that day my father, king Darian was furious we had left the castle without the guard, the queens-guard ser james was a large man. He had a small daughter, all i knew of her was her name was Malia, Malia james.
My mother and father are not as close as everyone of the smallfolk think, my mother was 14 and my father was 18 when they were wed in an arranged marriage, my mother fell pregnant with me at the age of 15 my father was 19. My father held a resentment towards my mother for failing to provide a male heir. I have a sister, her name is Allora. She was sent last year to form an alliance with some lord of the realm. Mother tried to do her duty, she lost three boys after birth, and another two long before her pregnancy ended. My father wasn't in the birthing room during my birth. My mother did it alone with both me and my sister. My father took the council out for a hunt and brought my mother new furs as a gift. Father wasn't happy i was a girl, he reminds me everyday, to this day, over the years my father hurt my mother in more ways than one,my family comes from a long line of dragon riders my mothers dragon Hera was the biggest dragon in the realm she's a beautiful blue and pearly white dragon, my father rides Demeter the black dread, Allora 's dragon egg never hatched, my mother had then gifted my sister a sweet little golden dragon egg as a parting gift. As the eldest of daughter and heir to Myrthos I inherit my mothers dragon upon my coronation.
on my 16th name day my mother took me to the lake with the ducks, only this time i didn't need her to hold me, i know how father treated her, i hated him for it, my mother named me that fateful day i was born "Athena, after the goddess of wisdom." That day as we both stood in that lake she whispered my name, there was something off about it.. it reminded me of the nights my father would bed her in hope for a son, she would walk into my chambers eyes red and puffy, she would dismiss the wet nurses getting me prepared for bed, i still remember the look in her eyes as she played with my hair, she would sing me a lullaby in such a sad tone.. almost like she wasn't there. "Athena, little bird.. maester Mellos
confirmed I am to have a son."
