The relentless sound of war, the sight of blood, and the unending chaos pushed Verena to the brink of insanity. Her husband, Aeron Bracken, was embroiled in a bitter political feud with Benjicot Blackwood, especially when it came to matters of land ownership. This animosity was further complicated when Aeron's uncle declared for Aegon, while Benjicot declared for Rhaenyra and married her daughter, solidifying their opposing allegiances.
Years before the war, Aeron and Benjicot had been close friends, defying the age-old adage that Blackwoods and Brackens would find any excuse to spill each other's blood. Their bond was a rare beacon of hope amidst generations of enmity. However, this fragile peace shattered during the Battle of the Burning Mill. The two young men had narrowly escaped the conflict, emerging completely covered in blood and transformed by a brutal war mentality. This battle, sparked by a heated argument between them, led to the deaths of thousands, leaving Verena ensnared in the turmoil.
Verena had heard of Aelora Targaryen through Aeron's derisive remarks. He would often mock the Blackwoods for marrying Benjicot to "another bastard and kinslayer, I suppose." Despite Aeron's scornful comments, Verena's curiosity and hope were piqued. She longed to meet Aelora, imagining a kindred spirit amidst the darkness. Verena had always dreamed of meeting a dragon, a creature of legend and power, and the thought of forming a friendship with Aelora filled her with a glimmer of excitement and anticipation.
Caught in the intricate web of political intrigue and personal vendettas, Verena found herself yearning for a connection that transcended the endless cycle of violence and retribution. She believed that in befriending Aelora, she might find solace and perhaps even a way to bridge the divide between the warring factions. Her dreams of meeting a dragon were more than just a fanciful wish; they represented a hope for a future where alliances could be formed, and peace could be achieved.
As the war raged on and tensions escalated, Verena's desire to meet Aelora grew stronger. She envisioned herself standing beside a dragon, feeling its immense power and majesty, and forging a bond that could change the course of their lives. In her heart, Verena knew that this was more than just a personal quest; it was a beacon of hope amidst the bloodshed, a chance to rewrite their destinies but Verena knew she was just another girl caught in between the wrath of men.
