Dragons Rage

Black Blood

Daemion and Heleanas chambers

Lynora sat on the chair while Heleana was asleep. The Lannister lady refused to leave her friends side even after her father told her to.

She heard the door open and saw Heleanas handmaiden, Zara brought in a 3 year old Daenerys.

"Mama!" Daenerys yelled, and this made Heleana stir. The princess groaned and yawned as she woke up.

"My beautiful girl." Heleana said.

"Are you okay, Mama?" Daenerys asked.

"I'm better now." Heleana said as Zara placed Daenerys on the bed. "Thank you, Zara. Leave us."

"Princess." Zara bowed and left the room.

Lynora noticed something on Daenerys' hair. Heleana. "Has that always been there?"

Heleana carefully moved Daenerys' hair and saw a silver blonde strand of hair. She smiled and looked at Lynora.

"It symbolizes the birth of three dragons." Heleana said, and she looked at her sleeping twin babies who had the same dark hair with silver strands.

"Where is Papa?" Daenerys asked

Heleana smiled at her daughter. "He'll join us soon."

Just then, Alicent entered the room, and Heleana immediately held Daenerys.

"My daughter." Alicent was shocked that Heleana actually saw her as a threat to her children. The queen then looked at Lynora. "Please leave us, your grace."

"Queen mother." Lynora bowed her head and looked at Heleana. "I'll be in my chambers." She then left the room.

"Heleana, please understand. Your husband committed treason. He murdered his king." Alicent lied.

"Is it easy for you. Lying?" Heleana asked. "Father loved Daemion. In truth, I believe it's the only reason he loved me as well. Daemion wanted to stay here and care for father, but he wanted us to live our lives. Father may not have cared for me as much, but he helped Daemion to make me happy. My husband would never kill his grandfather."

Alicent sighed in defeat. She knew this was wrong, but it was her fathers plan to either frame Daemion or kill him. Alicent chose to frame him instead.

"Princess Rhaenys has escaped. Your grandsire, Ser Otto, will sail to Dragonstone soon. I've sent terms with him. All I want is peace." Alicent said.

"Then you shouldn't have usurped the throne." Heleana said. "Please leave me. I can't stand the sight of you, mother." She held her daughter tighter and glared at her twin children's cradles.

A tear fell from Alicents eyes, and she left the room.

Black cells

Daemion was still mourning the loss of Ser Harrold Westerling in the black cells.

"It was a bold attempt, my prince, but I think he tried too late." A prisoner said.

"Who are you?" Daemion asked.

"Just a prisoner like you." The man said. "I was wrongfully imprisoned as well, and now I rot here until I'm executed."

"Why were you imprisoned?" Daemion asked.

"I sang a song for Prince Aemond in a brothel." The man said.

"What was the song about?" Daemion asked.

"How he lost his eye." The man said, and Daemion laughed.

"Since it's just the two of us. I'd like to hear it." Daemion said. As the man sang, Daemion couldn't stop laughing. "Thank you. I needed that."
