Twelfth Moon, 90 AC The Lady of the Vale Breaking your fast with your mother and sisters should have been an opportune time to strengthen family bonds. Daella just wasn't sure about any of that happening today. Her eyes moved around the room, observing her kin. Jocelyn, was as kind as she remembered. Her hair remained as black as a raven's feathers, and her eyes were still that dark purple, so dark they were almost black until the light shone on them. She had once been quite close to Jocelyn, so much so…- 606.6 K • Completed
- Fifth Moon, 87 AC Jaehaerys Targaryen "So it is confirmed then?" he asked. "Not quite, but am I one of the leading candidates yes. Septa Laila nominated me as her replacement when she was still with us and the rest of the Most Devout will be convening soon to decide it. The raven should be coming any day now," his daughter answered. "That is good news indeed. And the Citadel Vaegon? What news?" "The Conclave is panicking to be honest. Driftmark's university, alone, was of little concern to them but now…

- Fifth Moon, 87 AC Alysanne "Construction of the fort on Bloodstone was completed three months ago. In the time since, our fleet has cleared through several pirate dens on the Stepstones but the moment we leave an island, the pirates always come slinking right back in," Ser Aurane, the youngest of the Velaryon brothers reported. "What of the locals?" her husband asked. She had always loved how he looked when he was trying to be serious and focused. "There aren't that many of them. Some villages of…

- First Moon, 205 AZ Corlys Velaryon It was a fine and pleasant morning that greeted Corlys on the last day of the first moon of the two hundred and fifth year of the Age of Zaldilaros, or as Westerosi would refer to it, the two hundred and ninety-eighth year of Aegon's Conquest. For his own part, Corlys had decided to enjoy the fine morning in the best way that he knew how. Eluding or rescheduling as much of his lessons and responsibilities that he could so he could climb up to the parapets of the highest…

- Third Moon, 132 AC Rhaenys How did it come to this? That was the question Rhaenys had asked herself every waking moment since that day. How had it all gone so wrong? Why did she have to suffer like this? She had lost everything. Her husband, her children, two of her grandchildren, a cousin, and a nephew. Her dragon was gone and even her very body had been all but destroyed. The broken ribs and other injuries might heal one day, but the burns would always be a permanent scar and her right hand would…

- Second Moon, 132 AC Baela With a dragon's eye view, she soared over all the lands. Years of experience and training allowed her to bend the candle and its rebellious light to her will with ease but it still needed focus. At any moment the candle could drag her mind across the whole world and away from what she wished to see. In the aftermath of that day and with glass candle scrying to ensure the remaining Targaryens would not sally forth and challenge them, Jacaerys, Laena, Corlys, Baelor, Jaenara,…

- First Moon, 132 AC Baela Her heart pounded in her chest as they flew through the darkness. The only thing lighting their way was the full moon in the sky above and the glow of the glass candles in their saddles as they scryed their enemies and communicated with their allies. Herself, Jace, Rhaena, and Laena carried those glass candles and they flew at the front of the formation to guide Corlys and Serra who flew behind them. It weighed on her mind, knowing what they were here to do. In the distance, barely…

- First Moon, 132 AC Viserra "Your Excellency, please I beg you, allow me to stay by your side!" the ever loyal Ser Jaremy cried. "No Orange. You have your orders, and you shan't disobey them. You are to command this fleet and see to its safe arrival in Myr where you will report to the highest ranking Zaldilaros Velaryon and take up command of the Tide Guard in the Triarchy." Corlys' reply was firm, and uncompromising. "Princess, if we may," her old secretary Pina tried to beseech her. "You may not," Viserra…

- First Moon, 132 AC Jacaerys It was the second day of 132 AC, or in the Triarchy, 39 AZ. The start of a new year was normally a festive holiday period, but not for House Velaryon. Not this time. His uncle, King Aemon of House Targaryen had finally breathed his last and given up his spirit to the Stranger on the last day of 131 AC. That was two days ago, two days that Rhaenys had been Queen, and every day that passed with her in power was a day closer to the war that would decide the fate of his family. Once…

- Eleventh Moon, 86 AC Aurane The day after their dinner with the royal family, Aurane and Corlys got up to take control of the Royal Fleet. Per their directions, the officers of the royal fleet had gathered in one of the buildings in the port, and much to Corlys's consternation, it was not an official building owned by the royal fleet and used to hold their records and meeting rooms. No, it was just a simple warehouse keeping the royal fleet's supplies that the ship captains also used to hold their…
