After flying for a while, Vhagar purred to wake Daenys up so she could land. Waking up the pain in Daenys hit her all at once, causing a yelp to leave her lips and a long whine, but luckily, she still held on.

~the keep~

A dragonkeeper ran as fast as he could to the king. Calling out in high valyrian.

"My King. MY KING.  THE DRAGONS ARE COMING BACK. ALL OF THEM."

The king got up so fast that he almost fell over, running from the room like his life depended on it. Heading straight to the beach being followed by his children.

Rhaenyra, hearing the commotion, ran after her father seeing Dragon after dragon land and surround the castle.

Rhaenys, too, followed by her husband and granddaughters, followed the noises.

Upon arriving, Aegon looked at his dragon as if wounded he joined in the search. Stepping up to him to scold him, he was hit away by sunfye. As if knowing what he was going to say. Aegon looked even more hurt by the action.

Aemond just laughed.

"What you laughing at?" Aegon snapped.

"You should have known he would leave to help. She is a dragon more than us, brother." Aemond said, still laughing.

While everyone watched as the dragons formed a sheild around the keep. Waiting for their arrival. All chirping and making low rumbles of what sounded like joy.

Moments pass, and a maester walks to the king with a small box in hand as he is shaking from fear after seeing what he has. The king ordered that all mail sent to the hightowers and even his children by her, to be opened before it was given over to make sure it wasn't anything bad. And now the maester worried for the king and princess' reaction to what is inside.

"M..m..my King.. th...this came for the qu...queen." He slowly handed it to him. "Bewear, it is not pretty at all. This note came with it, too. My King." He told him, letting go.

The king nodded before her started to reopen the box. He was not prepared for what he saw. The eye of his granddaughter. Her violet eye looked back at him. He gasped, closing the box and looking to his daughter, then some maids.

"Take the children back in side now." He ordered the children went to argue but was hushed and made to go in.

"Father, what is it?" Rhaenyra spoke with concern.

"I'm sorry, Rhaenyra, she will look different to what you know." He said in sorrow.

"What do you mean?" Rhaenyra started to get worried.

"They took her eye, Rhaenyra, her violet eye and gifted it to Alicent."

Rhaenyra stood frozen. The dragons came into sight, silverwing followed by vermithor, then cannibal landing to let the knights off their backs before taking their spot. Caraxes was next to land as Daemon got out of the way for Vhagar to land with Daenys just let herself fall. But before she hit the ground, Daemon caught her.

Carrying her bridal style, he ran to the others, shouting.

"We need a maester. NOW!!"

"This way, my Prince." A maester called out.

Passing Rhaenyra, she gasped at the sight. Her daughter with a gash down her face. To match the one on her brothers face made her feel sick. Her daughter paid the price for the loss of his eye. Daenys wings and back, too, were beaten and bloody.

While Daenys was seen by the maester, Lord Blackwood came up to explain what had happened. Rhaenyra was in tears, hand covered her mouth, head down, eyes closed, hand on her stomach while her shoulder shook. The king had a look that could burn the world. His face was red as he breathed deeply, fists clenched at his sides. He was not going to let what happened go by without punishment.

Maester Gerardys had been tending to her wounds when Grand maester Mellos and maester Aemon came to offer a hand only for them to argue with maester Gerardys when he refused their help. It only stopped when Daemon got up and spoke.

"He said no, now if he does not trust you, then I will not trust you, so leave before I take your heads."

With that, they left the room in a hurry. Maester Gerardys thanked the prince for getting them to leave.

"Why do you not trust them?" Daemon asked curiously.

"I have been doing research of my own. Into the number of deaths in this family. The baby's as well as the old men or middle-aged men."

"Did you find anything?" Daemon asked now, his full attention turned to the maester.

"Yes, when I delivered Rhaenyra, she was health when I delivered any of Rhaenyra's they too where healthy. When maesters Mellos and Aemon the babe would die in the womb or cradle. Some are born but not to draw a breath." He looked at the Prince. "They have been poisoning members of this family since they began, but they have not tried it with Alicent. They only came to court when..."

"Otto Hightower came." Daemon spat otto's name out like a bad taste. "Do you have any proof?"

The maester smirked, turning to the princess as he did the last stitch.

"I have it hidden where no one can touch it." Daenys spoke in high valyrian.

Daemon turned to his daughter and smirked.

"Let me guess one of your dragon friends." He stated in high valyrian, beginning to laugh.

"What better place than my dragon friends. No one will try to look if they are smart enough, that is. And I want to take them down too. Why should you get all the fun? Besides, see this as... payment for my eye." Daenys huffed at the end. Yawning as she looked at her father. He knew she wouldn't be walking, so he went and picked her up.

"You're getting too heavy for this." He grumbled.

"No, you're just getting old, is all." She sniggered quietly.

"Careful, I can still just drop you." He looked down seeing she fell asleep and laughed. "Incredible. I wish I could do that."

~time skip~

The king invited the knights that came to help a small feast as Daemon spoke to Rhaenyra.

"It will take some time for her to get used to having only half her sight, but she will get there with help." Daemon told Rhaenyra.

"She's going to hate training with the sword again." Rhaenyra laughed at a memory of Daenys losing to Daemon again and again until she snapped and just tackled him to the ground before taking him on a flight and dropping him in the sea laughing.

~memory~

"You have to use your height to your advantage." Daemon said, hitting her legs with the blunt of the sword making her growl. "Use what you have to your advantage." He said, hitting her knuckles and making her yelp drop her sword.

"That's not fare." Daenys huffed, glaring at Daemon.

"Use what you have. Fight."

She went for her sword only to be hit on the bottom by Daemon, who smirked as she growled.

"Use what you have."

And with that, Daenys jump glided over to him. They rolled around for a bit until Daemon was face first on the ground with Daenys on his back as she flapped her wings, lifting Daemon into the air with her holding his arm. He laughed, then asked her to put him down when he saw she was headinging to the sea. When she started to laugh, he knew what she was going to do. And he was right when she let go and he went into the sea.

Daenys laughed while still in the air. When he got out, he ran after her. Only for her to circle him before grabbing him again.

"DAENYS DON'T YOU DO THAT AGAIN."

But again, he was dropped into the sea.
