The Targaryen Jewel

Ch.15

Visenya's POV

I hear the giggles of children, footsteps running around, and two different pairs of feet. I look around me to see the walls of the castle where I spent a lot of my life, KingsLanding. I walk through the winding halls getting lost as I chase after the giggles and footsteps, the halls seem to be a maze as the fire from the torches creates shadows that look like dragons along the walls. The giggles stop and turn to screams and crying, I push myself to run faster as I see a room at the end of the hall, I run and run and run, but the hall is never-ending, I hear another horrified scream and Im finally reaching the door, only to get pushed back as Helena walks out holding one of her twins, the look on her face makes me hesitate.

I take the door handle in my hand only to realize it is sticky, I twist and push the door open only to scream, now realizing the screaming I was hearing before was that of my own, my throat hurts at my screams but I can't stop as I look at the mess of the room.

One of the twins lay in their bed, head missing. I look down at my sticker hand to see It is covered in the babes blood, I try to turn and run hoping to get help but I trip and fall, I sit up and look at what warmth I fell on, more blood, Im covered in it. I cry and scream once more as I struggle to stand.

I finally get up and run out of the room only for the scene to change and for me to be in another room. I look around confused as it looks to be Aegons room. A shadow figure walks towards me and I stumble away from them, they pull out a dagger and backs me into a wall, I gasp as they stab me in the stomach, I cry out as they back away and then slit their own throat. I try to stop the bleeding on my belly but I frown as I feel something trickle between my legs, I pull up my dress to see blood, sharp pain after sharp pain hits me in my belly and I know my babe is dead as my stomach grows cold.

I run from the room and down the hall, I open another door to see I am outside, the day looks beautiful and I look down at myself as I feel lighter. My babe bump is gone, Im still covered in blood and it's matted in my hair, the smell of death surrounds me on this beautiful day and I look up as a shadow covers me only to see Rhaenys and Meleys falling from the sky, blood squirts out of the dragon's neck in buckets, it lands on me and I shout as the blood is hot, burning me.

I look up once more and my eyes widen as I notice the dragon is going to fall right on top of me, I break out into a run but the shadow gets bigger and bigger until...

I gasped as my throat hurt and there were people in my room and I screamed once more, trying to push the arms off of me.

"Princess Visenya!" I calm at the familiar voice of the queen, I sob as I stop fighting her arms, my body feeling heavy and weak, I sob and sob and sob as the queen pulls me into her arms and holds my head to her chest.

Rhaenyra shushes me and rubs my back as I sob." Everyone out." Rhaeynra snaps as the people in the room mutter between each other.

"Are you alright princess?" Rhaenyra asks as I calm down." Was it a bad dream?" I hesitantly nod as I pull away from the warm body, Rhaenyra smooths the hair out of my face and I clutch my belly.

"I can stay with you." Rhaenyra says as she wipes my tears away." Daemon is not here, I don't know where he is." She tells me and I nod once more hesitating. She moves to the other side of the bed and lays in the bed, she pulls me to lay against her chest.

"You are safe, Visenya." Rhaenyra tells me and I fall back to sleep laying against her chest.

Rhaenyra invites me to break fast with her and her family in the morning. After my nightmare of last night, I wasn't feeling too hungry so I sat at the table sipping tea, as everyone sat quietly as they ate. I was hoping last night was a nightmare, for if it was a vision I don't know where to begin to even try and stop it.

"Are you feeling better, Princess Visenya?" My head snaps to the voice and I shake out of my thoughts. 

"I am afraid not my Queen, my dream has left me spooked." My voice comes out hoarse.

I was told that I was screaming as if I had been murdered for a long while, the queen was trying to wake me for a long time before I finally woke up.

I take another sip of tea as she looks at me sadly and I slowly look out the window, I see a shadow fly by and hear the roar of Rhaegal.

"Is that your dragon?" I look up and over to Baela who grins at me and I give her a soft smile.

"Yes, Rhaegal. He is a gentle Giant, but don't let that fool you, he is also battle-hardened." I tell her and Jace speaks up.

"She helped Daemon in the battle against the crab feeders, she saved your father you know?" I smile at Jace bragging on my behalf.

Baela turns to him in interest and he gets into the story that I have told him and Luke many times when they were a child.

I get dressed as Rhaenyra has invited me to her small council meeting, but being sat at the meeting my blood runs cold, my dream, it wasn't a dream at all and that terrifies me.

"It is yet unclear how the Keep itself was breached." The Maester speaks." The boy's head was severed from his body. Thousands witnessed the procession."

"And they are accusing me of having a hand in this." Rhaenyra asks as she stands at the head of the table with her back to the fire.

"It appears so." The Maester confirms." There have been messages sent to that effect throughout the realm."

"We must send our own messages, denying this vile allegation."

"I will do so at once, but I'm not sure they will be received in good faith." The Maester tells her.

"And we must double our guard, here and in Driftmark." Rhaenyra adds as she takes a seat." There will be swift retribution in one form or another-"

"I have seen to it, Your Grace." A man rudely interrupts the queen.

"Let me fly out on Vermax." Jace speaks up." Rhaenys is needed in the Gullet and I can watch for movements from King's Landing."

"No." Rhaenyra says quickly.

"It must be said that the damage to our position is immeasurable, at a time when we most need loyalty to our cause." The same man speaks.

"B-But it's a lie. Having lost my own son, that I would inflict such a thing on Helaena, of all people... an innocent." Rhaenyra says and I believe her, I look over to her from her left only to see Daemon and frown. No, he wouldn't, would he?

Broome, speaks up." The death of Prince Lucerys was a shock and an insult. A mother so aggrieved might, naturally, seek relief in retribution."

"Excuse me but the Queen said she did not do it! When your Queen speaks, you shall listen, if you are unable to do so speak now and we can have another meeting outside with my dragon!" I snap and everyone turns to me wide-eyed as I stand.

"Sister." Daemon says shocked but smirks either way.

Rhaeynra takes my hand and gently pulls me to sit back down. "Are you suggesting, Ser Alfred, that my grief drove me to order the decapitation of a child?" Rhaenyra asks him standing herself.

"I merely thought, perhaps, an action taken in haste." He answers.

"Mind yourself." Rhaenys speaks.

Rhaeynra sits back down with a sigh.
