Aenys stood at the shore line, watching as his dragon flew over the crashing waves. Cannibals deep grows vibrated the deep blue waves, rippling throughout the water. Aenys dark hair moved softly, brushed back in wavy locks. Loose and untamed.

Aenys tilts his head back when the sounds of footsteps broke the peace he found himself in. Lucerys approached in deep red robes, with his dark eyes stormy and determined.

"Come to haunt me?" Aenys asks

Lucerys stood at his side, sighing. "Unfortunately no, I'm real brother." Luke states

Aenys hums, "I doubt that." Aenys states

Luke tilts his head. "Why don't you believe me?" Luke asks

Aenys looked back towards the ocean, his wife stood among the waves, staring back.

....

Luke hissed as he stubbed his finger against his stone chest, sucking it into his mouth in order to salve it. "Shit." Luke cursed.

A soft chuckle had his head snapping up, Jace stood at the entrance of his room with a small smirk, behind him, his sworn shield.

Luke sighed, standing straight and pushing the chest back into place. "What are you doing?" Jace asked, slowly approaching his brother. "Aenys thinks I'm a ghost, I need to prove to him otherwise." Luke states, waving an old chest piece.

Jace lifts a brow, meeting Davos gaze briefly. "I don't think that's a good idea." Jace says

"What?" Luke asks, cocking his head to the side, his brows furrowing.

Jace inhales deeply, approaching his brother and gently pressing his hands on his brother's shoulders. "He's petitioning our mother as we speak, he wants to head to Kingslanding and burn the greens once and for all. We need this Luke, or this war will never end." Jace states

Luke shook his head. "What no! Innocent people will burn! Children! Mother will never agree!" Luke states

"I already have."

The three dark headed males turn and see the Queen at the other entrance of the room with Mysaria at her side. "And we won't be killing innocents." Mysaria states, holding her head high. Rhaenyra nods in agreement, gently placing a hand on Mysaria's shoulder. "My loves it's time we come together as a family and take what's ours." Rhaenyra says with a small grin.

....

The council stood around the painted table as Rhaenyra discussed their positions, using the stone pieces as placeholders for their dragons.

"The smaller dragons will take the entrances, freeing the citizens from the stone walls. I will go around the back, making sure the scorpion spears won't have a chance to release." Rhaenyra says, slowly pushing forward a golden dragon, her eyes meeting her sons. "We will have to move quickly before Aemond has a chance to attack." Rhaenyra states

"What of Aenys?" Corlys asks, crossing his arms over his chest. His dark eyes staring the prince down. Something was off.

"While we are burning down the gate, Aenys will be waiting for our signal and as soon as the castle is free of people-" she's interrupted. "I will kill Aemond and his bitch of a dragon." Aenys states, placing both palms on the painted table, leaning forward. "And avenge those he killed." Aenys states, meeting Corlys gaze. The Lord of the sea nods sharply.

"But, not before we get the people to safety." Rhaenyra says imploringly, trying to make her point across. Aenys stared her with dull eyes but he nods.

"Well, let's burn us a witch." Lucerys states with a wide grin.

....

Aenys stared at himself through the looking glass as he fastens his cuff, the dark scales rippling with every movement of his wrist.

"You look handsome, the armor suits you." A wispy voice breathed

Aenys closed his eyes, allowing his wife's presence to wash over him. Longing curled his chest. With a deep inhale he opened his eyes, steeling himself.

....

Aemond stared down the terrace of his room, watching as the waves softly crashed against the large rocks, creating sea foam. He sighed deeply, his fingers curling over the stone.

"Brother."

Aemond raised his head, turning to his sister, he slowly approached, reentering his chambers. Helaena shifted, her hands interlocked in front of her. "I want to go to Dorne." Helaena states

Aemond furrowed his brows, softly shaking his head. "No." He states absolute. He will not be losing anyone else. Helaena clears her through, she will not be taking a no as an answer. "You don't need me. It's clear you don't need anyone, dismissing mother? She's been Queen for years, and you threw her aside, treating her like breeding stock. I can't stay here, not at the risk of you turning your ire on me. I need to leave for my sake and my daughters." Helaena states strongly

Aemond scoffs. "You're not abandoning me, not for your whore. I don't care of your feelings on this. My decision is final, or must I command it." Aemond hisses

Helaena stares at him with wide eyes, shock filling her pale features. "What have you become." Helaena whispers

Suddenly a roar echoed the walls of the castle, startling the two. Aemonds head whips to the terrace and he quickly strides over. At the edge of the castle gates, ontop of its stone surface stood a dragon, golden as the sun. Syrax.

Aemond scoffs, a smirk curling at his lips. Time to end this war. The bitch Queen has came for her demise. Before he can retreat for his dragon, Syrax is joined by Vermax. The smaller dragon begins blowing blistering flames onto the gates. The wood igniting.

Syrax takes flight, approaching the castle, heading for the dragon keep which was located in the far reach of the castle. It was a plan to block any of the riders from their dragons.

Aemond whips around to shout a command at his sister but he finds her missing.

....

Helaena rushes through the keep, finding her daughter in the arms of her mother. "Mother!" Helaena shouts

Alicent with a panicked look, quickly approaches. The whole keep was abuzz, aware of the dragons at their gate. "Helaena!" Alicent calls

Helaena stops in front of her mother, bumping into panicked servants along the way but she didn't care nor did she stop. "We need to go." Alicent orders, grabbing her daughters arm, while holding her granddaughter tighter in her arms. "Yes you must, take Jaehaera and flee for the woods, and please make sure you take at least one guard. I will mount Dreamfyre and meet you there." Helaena says

Alicent shakes her head. "No forget your dragon, she is easily spotted." Alicent states as she readjusts Jaehaera in her arms.

"No mother, I can't abandon her. She will aid us in fleeing. It'd be faster then by carriage." Helaena states, Alicent shakes her head. "You won't even have a chance to mount your dragon, there's been accounts that the queens dragon has been spotted at the pit, she will burn you where you stand. She will not allow you to free your dragon."

Helena inhales. "And that is why you are heading to the woods without me. I understand the risks but she's my dragon. Now go." Helaena orders

....

Aenys watched from deep within the woods as the gates burned, people fleeing for their lives, escaping the castles walls. Cannibal growled menacingly, ready for his riders command.
