"Lara," His voice was a low rasp, cutting through the oppressive silence. He didn't look like a cultist, but his grip was iron.
Lara thrashed, adrenaline spiking. "Let go of me!" she snarled, her accent clipped with panic. She remembered those eyes-Raccoon City, a lifetime ago. "You're one of them!"
He didn't flinch, though his gaze flickered with a recognition that startled her. "I'm not," he said, his voice strained as he tightened his grip to stop her from reaching for a gun. "And neither are you. Not yet. Stop fighting me, Lara. Please."
The desperation in his plea, the shared nightmare reflected in his eyes, made her freeze. The Plaga whispered, but for the first time in weeks, the noise was drowned out by the sudden, terrifying realization that she wasn't alone in the dark.

Dewasa
The older twin of Prince Jacaerys Velaryon, you were a picture of the maiden, untouched and untainted by man's sins. At least, that was what Alicent Hightower believed when she held you in her arms moments after her old friend's labors. You were her shining light, her dream. Though you were never hers, she believed you were meant to be.
What will become of you as time passes and the Queen's shining light grows within the blackened darkness? Will her eldest son's morbid fascination with the light burn the realm? Or will her second son's obsession with the only daughter of Rhaenyra Targaryen change the course of the Seven Kingdoms as we know it?
"I have outlasted all desire,
My dreams and I have grown apart;
My grief alone is left entire,
The gleamings of an empty heart.
The storms of ruthless dispensation
Have struck my flowery garland numb,
I live in lonely desolation
And wonder when my end will come."

All House of the Dragon/A Song of Ice and Fire warnings apply, but I will put specific ones with each chapter. However, there will be depictions of childhood sexual assault and the trauma response/coping mechanisms that can stem from it. You've been warned.
The reader does have a name and the typical Targaryen/Strong features, but other than that, the descriptions are vague.
