Some are centered around their actions and their future. ***** (A)egon VI ***** (A)egon VI =============================================================================== The birth of Aegon VI was an difficult day. Lyanna remembers the pacing Rhaegar did outside the door because the wet nurses refused to allow him inside. Something about his present would do more harm than good. Rhaenys cried herself into sleep with the sounds of her mother cries. Lyanna held her the hold time wiping her tears refusing to hand her over once she fell asleep. Rhaegar didn't rest until the wet nurse said that Elia would be okay and the cries of a baby filled the air. "Your majesty, the child-" "What of Elia? How is she?" Rhaegar rushed out. The midwife smiled, "She is fine. The Queen has lost some blood but not to much, she will need to rest." "The child?" Rhaegar asked carefully. "Alive an healthy. Would you like to meet your son?" "Yes." ***** (B)aratheon ***** (B)aratheon =============================================================================== Lyanna didn't love Robert Baratheon nor would she ever love him. Robert was not the man for her regardless of her father's words or her brother encouragement. He thought he could fool her with pretty objects, flowers and war tales but she saw though him. The real Robert was an drunken whore of a man, carrying bastards around like trophies. No one but silly maidens who listened to the dishonest tales that were told of his heroics could love him. Lyanna would never marry him. So she ran. ***** (C)ersei ***** (C)ersei =============================================================================== Cersei Lannister. Lyanna only meet her once and it was at the Tourney at Harrenhal. She remembered how beautiful the girl looked in her gold trimmed dress and her numerou southern braids that were decorated by some of the most expensive jewelry ever created. Mainly lords and young men eyed he southern beauty but none were able to catch her attention like Prince Rhaegar had. It was no secret that Tywin Lannister wanted to arranged an marriage between Cersei and Rhaegar even minding that he already had Elia. When Rhaegar won no one was really surprised. He rode his white horse towards his wife who gave him an few words as both of their eyes turned to Lyanna. As the crown of Love and Beauty landed in Lyanna’s lap she felt the hatred pierce of Cersei’s eyes. But she paid it no mind. Cersei might have been an lion but she was a wolf. ***** (D)ragon ***** (D)ragon =============================================================================== Rhaegar's father, Aerys 'Mad King' Targaryen, thought he was the dragon. He swore that he was a dragon and nothing could kill him because a dragon doesn't die. Rhaegar proved him wrong. The Mad King was no dragon but Rhaegar was. ***** (E)lia ***** (E)lia =============================================================================== Elia wanted to live her life out in Dorne surrounded by her loving people and her brothers but women never get what they truly want in life, did they. When she was told she would marry Rhaegar, she wanted to die. Her father was to happy to have his daughter as the Queen never caring about her own wishes and her mother never truly cared. She was being ripped away from her family and thrown into another. What was a scorpion suppose to do in a land filled of dragons but she remembered she was Elia Martell, princess of Dorne. She could stand in a room filled of scorpions and none would sting her. Now, she saw be the scorpion in the room filled of dragons and her sting shall be the most dangerous. ***** (F)ire ***** (F)ire =============================================================================== Rhaegar believed his whole life he would marry his sister such as his father, grandfather and great grandfather before him had but he soon learned the tradition shall end with him. He despised Elia Martell, for she was not a dragon. She did not have the fire inside of her that he deserved in his wife. He was a fool. Elia was no dragon but she held more fire than he’s ever seen in another. She carried herself like the true princess she was not how people expected her to carry herself. She was a quiet fire. =============================================================================== Lyanna was different from Elia in many ways. He had first meet her as she pretended to be an Knight in the Tourney. Once she was defeated her approached her, finding enjoyment in her quick wits and her skills in combat. Lyanna was no dragon but she held the same fire in her as Elia held in herself. She did not carry herself like a princess nor did she desired to be, she carried herself like a warrior. She was a loud fire. =============================================================================== He loved both fires. ***** (G)ods ***** (G)ods =============================================================================== Rhaegar thanks the Gods everyday. As Elia woke up to break fast with Aegon and Jon, heavy in her arms refusing to hand them over to another. As Lyanna rides around on horseback with Rhaenys beside her. Her eyes filled of joy as she teachers her daughter the lessons her father taught her. As Rhaenys calls for both her mommy and mama as she grows excited over the new moves she learn from her sword maester. As Aegon holds Jon’s hand as they try to walk together refusing to leave his brother behind. As Jon cries until Aegon is beside him. His chubby cheeks pressed against his brother’s as they speak in their own tongue. Rhaegar prays to the Old and New Gods despite his Septa’s looks of disapproval. He thanks them both for either or both gifted him with his family. ***** (H)onor ***** (H)onor =============================================================================== Many argue Lyanna had no honor as she sneak her way into King Rhaegar’s bed and ruined his marriage. They called her many names from a glorious whore to a lovesick kid to a kidnapped maiden. She held the names with pride as she held her head as she took her seat in the council beside her husband and wife. They said she had no honor. She did not need anyone else to accept her honor but them. ***** (I)ndependent ***** (I)ndependent =============================================================================== Rhaegar was never attracted to Luann because she was a warrior nor because of his father’s stupid prophecy that he had burned into his brain. Nor did he love Lyanna for her looks or that she differed because from his wife. He fell for Lyanna because she was independent. Something that all the most important women in his world possessed from his mother to his wife to his baby sister. That what attracted Rhaegar to Lyanna. ***** (J)on ***** (J)on =============================================================================== Jon Jaehaerys Targaryen. Giving birth to Jon was the greatest thing to ever happen to Lyanna and she knew she would never have another child after him. She knew in her heart she had no more love to spare for another child as much as she loved her baby boy (beside Aegon and Rhaenys). Jon gave her the feelings of home every time she looked upon him. His dark curls that framed his pale face with those black eyes and his Stark look. He was a little piece of the north in the south. ***** (K)ing ***** (K)ing =============================================================================== The people believed Rhaegar was King. They lived and died by the thought that Rhaegar ruled them, leaving they’re complete faith in the man they called King. His soldiers went to battle in honor of his name, women who grew pregnant claimed he had blessed them, and other lords claimed he had made the world right once again. They were wrong. Yes Rhaegar wore the crown on his head but he was no King. Yes he made laws, rules and helped establish peace but not by himself nor with his counsel. Only with Elia and Lyanna. They were his best counsel, his highest advisors, and the final word on all his laws. He was simply a figure for the people. ***** (L)yanna ***** (L)yanna =============================================================================== Lyanna always imagines that she would fall in love, a man who accepted her love for swords regardless of what others thought about it. She would stay with Brandon, Benjen and Ned having all their children grow up together. She would pass all her knowledge to her children, and love them as her father and mother loved her. She would love Winterfell until the Gods called her home to join her mother. Lyanna never imagines she become the royal consort to King Rhaegar Targaryen and Queen Elia Martell but she wouldn’t have it any other way. ***** (M)arriage ***** (M)arriage =============================================================================== Cersei Lannister always imagined her marriage to be perfect. She would be walked down the isle by her Jamie to Rhaegar Targaryen. She would share her first kiss with Rhaegar. Rhaegar Targaryen, from the moment she saw the young dragon prince. He was everything her story said he would be: strong, handsome, smart and rich. She was everything a man would want in a future wife: strong, beautiful, smart and rich. She thought they would be together the moment her father sent his request for their two great houses to untie but she was wrong. He didn’t want her. He wanted Elia. He wanted Lyanna. He never wanted her. Her fairytale was ruined, over, and destroyed because of two whores. She was suppose to be Rhaegar wife, the one her loved and gave children too. But no, she was rejected and forced into a marriage with Robert Baratheon. The man who lost the war, the man who her father promised her to if he won but he didn’t. He lost. =============================================================================== Cersei always imagined marriage to be perfect. She would be walked down the isle by her Jamie to Rhaegar Targaryen. She would share her first kiss with Rhaegar. No. She was walked down the isle by her father to Robert Baratheon. She shared her first kiss with Robert. Rhaegar was at her wedding but not where he was meant to be. Instead he was seated beside her two whores as he watched on with bored eyes. ***** (N)ymeria ***** (N)ymeria =============================================================================== “I don’t want to do this anymore!” Rhaenys cried as she missed another shot just as Jon and Aegon VI landed direct in the bullseye with their arrows. The princess gave a glare down at her bow, throwing down her bow and arrow before taking off running. Lyanna held up her hands stopping Rhaeger as he tried to rush past her, “Continue training the boys. I’ll handle this.” “Lyanna-“ Rhaegar tried to argue. “I can handle this. Trust me. Now get back to the boys before they try to rush off to find her themselves.” Lyanna ordered softly as she walked off to find Rhaenys. =============================================================================== “Leave me alone!” Lyanna frowned as she came around the corner of the garden to find Elia standing at the bottom of the widow tree. “Elia?” Elia glanced towards her wife with a exhausted smile, “She climbed up there an hour ago. She refuses to come down and I am not climbing up there to get here.” Lyanna giggled as she nodded. She pressed a kiss to Elia’s lips before starting her climb up the tree. =============================================================================== Lyanna smiled as she found Rhaenys as she settled on the branch against from her daughter. “Rhaenys-“ “I don’t want to talk about it.” Rhaenys muttered as she kept her face blank as she stared through the branches to the fading sun. “Okay.” So they sat in silence before Lyanna spoke again, “I could never keep up with my brothers. I didn’t have the muscles or the stamina for the long hours of training. I would cry every night because I felt like a failure. I wanted to be a warrior not with some princess that needed a warrior. One day my mother told me a story about the strongest warrior in all the Seven Kingdoms. This warrior was not a warrior for personal combat, but a skilled general and commander instead.” “Who was this warrior?” “Nymeria. The princess of Rhoynar.” “A princess did all that without having to be good in combat?” “Yes she did. You don’t have to be better or as good as your brothers in battle. You just have to as good as you want to be.” Rhaenys seemed to let Lyanna’s words soak in her brain before she nodded at her mother. “I will be the skilled warrior not a strong one.” “You can be both. Now let’s get down before your father and mother has the guards try to retreat us yet again.” Lyanna stated. She giggled along with Rhaenys as they remembered the time Rhaegar and Elia lost their minds once they realized they had climbed the tree. The call almost every guard in the kingdom to help them down. Rhaenys nodded happily, “Okay momma.” ***** (O)beryn ***** (O)beryn =============================================================================== “They are beautiful.” “Thank you brother.” Elia and Oberyn walked in silence, their arms entwined as they moved their the royal garden. “Come on. Say it Oberyn.” “Say what my Queen?” Elia sent her brother an side eye, “Do not play with me, Oberyn. What is it? You have never hindered your tongue do not start.” Oberyn sighed deeply. “I fear for your loves. I know I wasn’t as forgiving to Lyanna or Jon at first but I have changed. I’ve seen the poison on your tongue you carry to protect them but I fear that won’t be enough.” “I know. The south is strange. They will never truly accept him as Aegon and Rhaenys’s brother nor will they accept Lyanna as their Queen.” “Send them to Dorne with me. I’ll protect them, you have my word of that.” “Thank you brother but no. We are not children anymore, you no longer need take my punishments or help me avoid lessons. I will not let anyone or anything touch my wolves. We are scorpions and we fear no lion, stag or silly squids.“ “Awww my soft spoken sister is no more! The south has forced your poison forward, maybe I should visit more.” Oberyn chuckled as he glanced down to Elia. “As you should brother. Bring my nieces next time.” Elia added.
