Timeless

Chapter Twenty Three

((This is a really quick what if chapter. Basically like a dream sequence. You can ignore it if you want))

Eight year old Siren blinked. She wasn't fully used to her surroundings.

"Siren." Called her mother. "You must be up, you're supposed to meet the princess soon."

Siren sighed and got up. "I'm up mother." She called. She dressed quickly and hurried out. Her mother smiled at her.

"Come eat your breakfast while I brush your hair." She said softly. Arielle Tyrell had almost the exact same hair as her daughter, she also knew that her daughter didn't like to sit still to have her hair done.

Siren made a face. "Does my hair have to be brushed?"

"Yes it does. It will be a lot nicer for when you meet the royal family." Her mother answered giving her a pointed look. "You shall be meeting the prince and princess."

Siren let out a sigh as she took her seat and ate her porridge while her mother carefully untangled each curl. After a few minutes her hair lay in perfect ringlets down her back, her mother knew that as soon as she could she'd be on a horse and all that work would be for nothing. Her mother carefully helped her up and led her out to the gardens. A silvery blonde haired girl bounded up to them.

"I'm Rhaenyra! Can we be friends?" She asked eagerly.

Siren nodded grinning. "I'm Siren!" She answered.  The princess grabbed her hand and quickly dragged her down to the training yard. Siren spotted the princes and dropped into a curtesy quickly.

"Roman come meet my new friend Siren!" Rhaenyra called. Siren glanced up and blinked, his violet eyes were nearly perfect.

"I'm Roman." He answered. His voice seemed a little dazed, she couldn't quite understand why but she also couldn't pay attention to much past him. He was beautiful like a Targaryen but he seemed to have a build closer to what Siren could only assume was his Arryn side. Broader shoulders than his uncle and what seemed to be larger arms. Most of all his eyes were kind. He didn't seem to be able to be unkind.

"I'm going to take her to meet mother!" Rhaenyra announced. She dragged her away and Siren blinked in a daze.

"Mother!" Rhaenyra called as she reentered the gardens. She ran over to where her mother was seated next to Sirens mother. "This is Siren!"

Siren quickly dropped into another curtsy. "Your grace." She straightened and grinned at her own mother. "Hi mama."

Her mother smiled. "Hello sweetheart. Have you been enjoying yourself?"

"Oh yes immensely. Rhaenyra brought me to meet her brother and princes daemon." Siren answered.

Rhaenyra nodded her eyes sparkling. "Roman got all blushy when he saw her."

Aemma raised an eyebrow at Arielle. "Did he now?"

"And what did Siren do?" Arielle asked.

Rhaenyra blinked. "She didn't say much."

Siren shrugged. "I was distracted by his eyes. They're pretty and oh so kind mother."

"Who is?" Her mother asked.

"Romans eyes." Siren answered. "He's got the most beautiful violet eyes." 

Arielle leaned over to Aemma. "Perhaps we should discuss this with our husbands." 

Aemma nodded. "Indeed we should. Roman is a hopeless romantic."

Arielle smiled. "So is my daughter."
