Aenys soared among the clouds, heading for Dragonstone. Tyraxes's heads flirted with one another as they made haste on their prince's commands.

Suddenly a sharp roar penetrated the air, startling the prince from his thoughts. Vhagar flew overhead, making Aenys straighten and his eyes widen. The dark-headed prince searched for Aemond, but Vhagar continued to fly further and further from him, approaching an island.

Aenys grip on his dragon's saddle tightens and with a sharp exhale he signals a turn. Breathing the command.

....

Tyraxes landed with a sharp grunt, settling in the sand as Aenys jumped from their back. Vhagar rested a few feet away, muzzle tucked into the sand. Her eyes watched him.

Aenys took in his surroundings as he approached an alcove, light flickered from within. An orange glow.

....

Aemond approached Aenys from the small burning pyre. He wore black leather, signaling his mourning period. The sight alone caused Aenys heart to clench. "I didn't think you would want to see me." Aemond says, keeping his hand behind his back so he doesn't reach out and grab Aenys.

Aenys is silent as he examines his former lover, also approaching. Aemond swallowed nervously but kept his composure. The two fall into silence, watching the other. The darker prince finally stopped when he stood a foot away from the other.

"I am sorry for your loss." Aenys croaks, breaking their silence.

Aemond inhales sharply, turning away. "Don't. I can't bear it." Aemond whispers

Aenys looks to the ground. He didn't intend to follow Aemond, but everything in him compelled him to. "At least from what I heard, it was in his sleep." Aenys says

Aemond whirls around, his eye dark and filled with anger. "Is this your doing? Your revenge? You couldn't kill me! So you went after my nephew!" Aemond exclaims

Aenys scoffs, hurt. "You truly think so lowly of me? That I am a babe killer! That I would inflict this pain on Helaena?!" Aenys roars, finally closing the distance, grabbing Aemond by the face, forcing their eyes to meet. "You hurt me...in a way I couldn't have foresaw..." Aenys says, his eyes crazed. "I-I think I could've forgiven the usurpation....but you took my son from me..." Aenys whispers, watching the tears fall from Aemonds eye. "Yes I was angry and I was in pain, but I am not the monster you wish me to be." Aenys breathes

Aemond exhales shakily.

"Maybe, I am, but in this...." Aenys softly shakes his head. He goes to remove his hands but Aemonds hands quickly shoot up, keeping them there. His fingers curl into his palms as he stares widely at Aenys. "I-I'm." Aemond stutters, swallowing harshly.
