KINGS LANDING || 124 AC
—
𝕷onging years had passed since Daena last set foot in Kings Landing. The air felt different to her it seemed dirtier than what it was before and the liveliness of the streets felt dead. Daena was now sat with her three children in a carriage watching as they quarreled amongst themselves. She watched as her eldest son Baelon sat in the middle of his two younger siblings trying to stop them from ripping each other's faces off, "Will the both of you stop acting like wild hounds, El give your sister her locket back and Alerae stop calling Elaeys a bastard," the two calmed down and Elaeys handed back his twin sister her locket, "We are family, we don't call each other names or fight," Baelon wrapped his arms around both his brother and sisters shoulder bringing them in closer, "Understood?" he asked softly.
The twins nodded and apologised to one another and sat down on separate sides of the carriage. Daena reached over and caressed Baelon's cheek, "You have grown my sweet boy," Baelon leaned into his mother's palm and looked up at her with tired eyes, "We are almost at Kings Landing," all three children perked their heads up in excitement.
Daena had made sure her children were to be born at the Red Keep so that when they were born she would have a dragon egg placed in each of their cradles. Once their dragons were old enough she had taken them back to Oldtown where eventually she did have to return back home after her visits to the Red Keep, now after many years of not coming to her birth home Daena has returned again but to visit her older sister Rhaenyra who had just given birth to her third son. From going to wanting no children to end up with three sons, Daena laughed to herself as she vaguely remembered her sister saying she would rather become a Knight than lay in a childbed.
Daena chuckled as she took a deep breath in and smiled, she knew they were close. She could smell the familiar smell of rotten foods and shit. The carriage came to a stop and without a second Elaeys burst out of the carriage taking the young Kings Guard by surprise. Daena apologised to him on her way out and was greeted by her old loyal guard Ser Warrek Cayne, "Princess, a pleasure to see you again," Daena smiled as she patted the loyal man on the shoulder walking beside him as they entered the castle.
"And you, Ser Warrek, I see you are growing into your armor," stifled laughs came from behind the two, the Kings Guard turned around with a playfully stern look making the children quieten. Daena laughed herself as she pulled in a frightened Elaeys towards her making his head burry into her ribs, "I only jest, Ser," he chuckled as he nudged young Elaeys on the side of his head.
After walking up three different flights of stairs and five different corridors, they had eventually made it to Rhaenyra's bed chambers where she rested. Shocked at the sight, Rhaenyra's eyes beamed with joy as she saw her sister enter her quarters, "Daena!" Rhaenyra exclaimed with shock, "What are you doing here?" she tried to stand up to greet her sister, but Daena rushed to quickly force Rhaenyra to sit back down.
