Since the devastating Dance of Dragons, life in Westeros had been anything but easy. The realm had been torn apart by civil war, families fractured, and once-great houses reduced to ashes. The scars of that conflict still lingered in every corner of the Seven Kingdoms, etched into the hearts of the people who had lived through it. In the aftermath, the weight of rebuilding a broken realm fell squarely on the shoulders of King Aemon Targaryen.
For Aemon, being king was more than just sitting on the Iron Throne—it was about restoring faith in the monarchy, rekindling the loyalty of a war-weary people, and bringing peace to a land that had known only bloodshed and betrayal. His greatest ambition was not to be remembered as a conqueror or a tyrant but as a ruler who had earned the love and trust of his people, a king who ruled not out of fear but out of respect and justice.
He knew the cost of the sacrifices made to put him on the throne. The Dance had claimed the lives of family members, friends, and countless innocents. Every day, he was reminded of the blood that had been spilled to secure his reign—the dragons lost, the houses extinguished, the lingering bitterness that still festered in some corners of the realm. Aemon bore the weight of these memories like a crown of thorns, determined to make their losses meaningful by becoming a king worthy of their sacrifice.
The road ahead was steep and uncertain. Trust, once shattered, was not easily rebuilt. But Aemon was resolute. He surrounded himself with wise counsel and kept his gaze focused on the future, determined to heal the wounds of the past and guide Westeros into a new era of prosperity.
As for Amara her greatest desire was to mold her children into something greater than she ever was. She had fought through her own battles and made countless sacrifices, and she wanted her children to learn from her experiences and surpass her in every way. In their eyes, she was more than just their mother—she was their mentor, their guide, their fiercest protector. She dedicated herself to shaping them, not just as rulers, but as warriors, thinkers, and leaders. Her efforts were especially focused on her firstborn son, Aegon, the crown prince. From the moment he was born, the world expected him to embody his father's legacy, to carry on the strength and stature of the bloodline. No one, not even Amara herself, expected him to inherit her unique gifts.
Aegon had always been a child more like his father in both appearance and temperament. His silver hair fell in sharp contrast to his dark eyes, which held a quiet, almost cold intensity. His silence was often mistaken for aloofness, but in truth, Aegon was deeply introspective, preferring solitude and reflection over the boisterous company of others. His bond with his dragon was one of the few connections that brought him true joy, and he spent countless hours flying alone over the vastness of the realm, finding peace in the sky and the quiet companionship of his dragon, Morghul.
He was not only quiet but deeply observant, his sharp mind always turning, analyzing, and strategizing. Duty drove him from a young age, shaping his every action and decision. Aegon's purpose was clear to him: he was to become a warrior and ruler, as great as his parents, perhaps even greater. His mother's training had taught him discipline and strength, and he believed he was walking the path to greatness, following in their footsteps with precision.
