🐉Aquatic Lover🐉¹ ~ Rhaenyra Targaryen

Self-discovery I: The Black Stags

Maegor II Pov:

Rhaenyra and I left the kids with rhaenys in driftmark. Rhaenyra had decided for me to self-discovery myself and to push us to get closer. I was on the back of my female dragon SeaWave while Rhaenyra was on her dragon Syrax. we were flying to moonwillow. Which is owned by the house of targaryen. We eventually land near a ritual site. "Don't forget Blackfyre." Rhaenyra said to me. I grabbed Blackfyre and climbed off my dragon.

"Like every targaryen before us has done this rituals." Rhaenyra said. "How long will it take?" I asked. "6 years. I know it's long and that you don't like staying in one place, but it must be done." She said. 6 years in one place seems like a lot. "Time in moonwillow is different from the rest of the world." But if I have to do it, then so be it. "Take off your shirt and cape and shoes and roll up your pants." She said. I nodded. I took off my shirt and cape. I sat them down on a table nearby. I took off my shoes. After I took off my shoes. I rolled up my pants.

"Now sit." I sat down on a pillow in front of a fire. I watch her grab a bowl from the same table. that I had put my shirt and cape down on. She walked over to me and got on her knees in front of me. "What's that?" I asked her as I pointed at the bowl in her hand. "It's blood. It mixed with valyrian blood and targaryen and dragon blood." She said to me as she painted symbols on me. "It makes you more in tune with your heritage and dragons." She said to me.

"Who knows about those rituals?" I asked her. "No one but our family." She said. "We have sacred grounds that no one knows. We keep a lot of our secrets buried so no outsider can know." She said. "Can any anyone do these rituals?" I asked her. "No has to be a part of the family." She said to me. "Will our kids do these?" I asked. "Yes, when they are of age." She said as she still painted me with dragon symbols. "I know you don't want to talk about her. Did alicent know or do them?" Rhaenyra scuff at what I said. So I'm taking that as a no.

Rhaenyra went to my back to paint on it. I let rhaenyra finish her job. She went for my legs. She eventually finished. "Hold your your hand out." She asked me. I held my hand out for her. She grabbed a dagger from her hip and cut my hand. She put the bowl under my hand and let my blood drip it in. The blood eventually tho dripping. Rhaenyra sat the bowl down. She cut her hand and let her blood drip into it. "What are you doing?" I asked her. "I'm adding my blood into it. If said targaryen has a wife or husband. They must add their blood into it. For you since I'm your wife. You must drink my blood."

"This ritual will also connect us on a deeper level. That no human will ever understand." She said to me. I sigh. I have to drink blood again. But I have to. I watched her mix the blood together. "Sit Blackfyre over the fire." I did what I was told. She grabbed my crown off my head and sat it on blackfyre. She got up. I watched her put golden dragons and pure valyrian steel and Dragonglass in a metal bowl. She walked back with the metal bowl and sat it on the fire. "This fire is no ordinary fire. It's dragonfire. We wait for it to melt the stuff in the bowl." I nodded.

We sat for a while. She grabbed my hand. "I'm glad we are together now." I smiled. "Me too." I said, then kissed her. I started her the stuff in the metal bowl and started to melt. She grabbed the bowl of blood. She passed it to me. "Drink." She said to me. I grabbed it from her. I brought it to my mouth and started to drink it. I finished it. I gave it back to rhaenyra and sat it down. "Close your eyes." She said to me. I closed my eyes for her.

Rhaenyra started speaking in high valyrian. I kept my eyes close for a while. Rhaenyra continued to speak in high valyrian. I was in peace. I heard birds around me. I open my eyes to see a two black stag. I could hear my breath. I got up and slowly walked over to the black stags. I felt the grass and dirt touch my feet. I eventually stop imfront of the stags. I see a necklace with a targaryen pendent on it. I bented down and grabbed it. I looked at the pendent. It had the house of targaryen sigil on it.

I put it on. "You're ready to become a true targaryen. Follow me." I turned to see Aenya Targaryen. I followed her. "Where are we?" I asked her. "The plane of existence that only targaryens can go." She said to me. "Once, someone who wasn't targaryen tried to get here but ended up dead. Only targaryen can handle the powers of this place." She said to me.

Shit. thank gods I'm a targaryen. We walked over to a tree with a single fruit. "That a golden dragonfire fruit. Grab it." She said. I walked over to the tree. I started to climb the tree. I got up the tree. I held on tight to a tree brach. I got closer to the fruit. I grab pluck it off the tree brach. I climbed down the tree. "Now what?" I asked it. "You eat it." She said. I nodded. I cut it open. Wow. The inside was warm. I wonder if dragonfire actually is a part of this fruit. I started to eat it. "This fruit is no ordinary fruit. It has powers that only targaryens can gain and earn." She said.

I felt my body grow with power. The blood on my body started to glow. "It starting. Eventually, you'll become one with yourself." She said. "Eventually, you will be your true self. Not Alexios Stark. Soon, you'll be Maegor II Blackfyre Targaryen. But don't even forget that you'll always stark." She said. I nodded. "Now, open your eyes."

I open my eyes. I was still sitting in front of rhaenyra. The blood to see the blood still glowing on me. "Welcome back to the real world, love." She said to me. I looked at my neck to see the necklace was on me. "Now, onto the next part."

"Now you will climb mount targaryen and grab the object from the top." I looked over at Mount targaryen. The largest mountain in the world. But I'm ready for it. I nodded and stood up. "I'll fly up try with Syrax. SeaWave will wait here for us." She said to me. I watched her get in Syrax. "I know you can do it." She said. I'm glad she believes in me.

I look to fire to see the stuff in the metal bowl gone. "They are now a part of your crown and long sword. You're the rightful owner to Blackfyre." She said to me. I put my crown on my head. I put Blackfyre in my scabbard. Then, I put it on my back. "Now you must climb with them on." I nodded.

"sōvēs." She said to Syrax in high valyrian. I watched her fly away. I turn to SeaWave. "Wait here. We'll be back." I said to her. I made my way to the bottom of the mountain. It's going to be a climb, but I can do it. I can. I believe in myself. I looked up to see that the mountain went past the clouds. I took a deep breath and let it out.

Let's go then.
