It was about 5 and a half years after Shiera had another daughter, whom Daemon and Shiera named her Alyssa after their wonderful mother. They both agreed it was a wonderful name and a great way to honor their mother.

Rhaenyra had come to Valyria and came to Shiera in person for her support, greatfully she got it. Shiera and Daemon walked around the red keep in disgust. It was full of statues and stars. Neither of them took into religion as much as the Hightowers did.

Alyssa was very clingy to her mother, almost always being held. Shiera did not mind as long as the sweet girl was quiet and content.

"We never should've left" Shiera muttered in disgust as her eyes looked upon the now dull walls. Shiera adjusted Alyssa on her hip as they walked down the steps towards viserys room.

Daemon hummed in response as his feet hit each stair. They were shocked to say the least at once a comforting room of their brothers was now dark and had a lonely aura to it.

Rhaenyra was presenting her 2 new sons by her new husband letting Laenor live his dreams far away from Westeros. Rhaenyra had married Laenas Husband, a Baratheon. He came to Rhaenyra thinking it would be the best way to keep his daughters safe. Eric Baratheon.

She had named her 2 new sons Aegon and viserys of course after her father and the conqueror.
Shiera and Daemon slowly opened the curtain to see an almost dead looking viserys.

Shiera watched him move slowly to see them. "Shiera, Daemon" his voice weak and raspy.
" I-it's so good to see you" he continued almost in a whisper. Shieras heart broke to see her older brother look so defeated and bedridden.

"It's good to see you brother" Daemon said before Shiera could muster up words.

Shiera presented Alyssa  to him so he could see how well she's grown up. He met her before when she was around a year and a half old.

Eventually they let him rest and awaited alicent.

Daemon stood in front of shiera, rebraiding Alyssa's short but long enough for a little braid. "Perhaps she could go for a nap?" Shiera asked Daemon as the young girl sucked on her thumb slightly.

A few minutes go by and a lady in waiting took Alyssa and took her for a nap. The girl must've been exhausted from her travels.

Alicent eventually made it to the room after multiple detours because of Aegon and his issues.

"It's been a long time since we've been graced with your presence Princesses" Alicent said only acknowledging Shiera and Rhaenyra.

"Indeed" Shiera said lifting an eyebrow. Looking down at the large star around Alicents neck.

An argument arose, "who will be judging on the morrow of my son's inheritance?" Rhaenyra asked while fidgeting with her rings.

"That would be mine, and the hands" Alicent said before leaving the room. Making Shiera roll her eyes.

She also dramatically let her head fall back against daemons chest, making him chuckle at her antics. Rhaenyra stood nervously while watching them.

Shiera walked into Daenerys chamber, She was talking to Helena, both of them embroidering together.

Shiera smiled as both the girls looked up to see her. "Dany, my sweet girl, where are your brothers?" Shiera asked curious as to what trouble they might've found.

"Training with Aemond in the courtyard" Daenerys replied softly. Shiera rose her eyebrows in shock to that answer.

Helena just watched in awe of their relationship. It was nothing like her and Alicents.
