Baela Tenth Moon, 114 AC The scarf wrapped tightly around her neck and mouth was suffocating, but not the real reason Baela felt like she was dying. The curtains in the room were thick and heavy, drawn to prevent sickness from spreading. Soaps, boiled wine, and other sanitary supplies were placed in neat cabinets all over the building, and she had been forced to wash her hands up to her elbows before she entered and she'd have to do it again before she left. The infirmary was a place for the dying and…- 606.6 K • Completed
- Tenth Moon, 114 AC Jacaerys "They're opening another vault?" Baela asked. "It seems so. I'm thinking of taking a trip down there to watch as the survey team goes in this time," Jace replied. "This time? You mean every time. You always do that," Baela teased. "Can you blame me? It's the most exciting thing that happens these days," Jace retorted. Why would he not want to follow along to see how the exploration and excavation efforts were going? Overseeing the daily tasks and chores of their camp like…

- Fifth Moon, 114 AC Gael Daemon was off somewhere in the city, no doubt indulging in yet another day of revelry and celebration with his men now that he had finally been reinstated to his post as Commander of the Watch. She was happy for him. Her husband's reinstatement was a result of her efforts. She had been working hard to convince Aemon for years and it had finally borne fruit after she had pointed out how well behaved Daemon had been with regards to the Velaryons in the past few years. He hadn't even…

- Baela Eighth Moon, 113 AC When the morning came, Baela broke her fast before meeting Jacaerys, Luke, and her sister Rhaena at the stables. A platoon of Tide Guard were waiting at the stables with her husband, goodbrother, and sister, easily identifiable by their signature ocean-blue plate and sea-green shirts and cloaks. Luke greeted her with a smile. "Morning Baela. Same horse as yesterday right? I took the liberty of having it saddled in advance for you." Baela raised her eyebrow. "Thank you Luke.…

- Aurane Seventh Moon, 86 AC When High Tide had been built, the solar had been positioned perfectly to allow their lord grandfather to look out the window and see Spicetown in all its glory and splendor nearby. Every day as he worked in the solar seeing to Driftmark's matters, their lord grandfather could look out and see the sight Aurane saw now. A strong and stout set of walls ringed the town, guarding against sea as much as land. Barbicans and portcullises protected their gates. Crenellated battlements…

- Eighth Moon, 113 AC Baela "How are you settling in girls?" Aunt Viserra asked after they had taken their first helpings of the morning meal. She had invited the two of them to break their fast with her and they had obliged. It was only the three of them however, as the other resident ladies in High Tide, Alys Grafton and Irina Tarth, did not have the highest opinions of Targaryens. Not that Baela had much high opinion of them in return. Their cold stares and glares, especially from Irina, had irritated…

- Seventh Moon, 113 AC Baela The tourney that was thrown in celebration for her and her twin sister's wedding was as grand as the wedding ceremony that preceded it. Apparently the tourney was greater and grander and even more expensive than the one which had been thrown to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of her late grandfather's reign in 98 AC. Not that Baela remembered that particular tourney though, she had only been a one-year-old at the time. The day immediately after her wedding had been a day…

- Seventh Moon, 113 AC Baela Targaryen The festivities that had been planned for her and Rhaena's wedding were rather ostentatious in Baela's opinion. Maybe even too much so. All the pageantry and splendor one would expect from a royal wedding was to be on display. Neither her uncle or the Velaryons had spared the slightest expense, both families were eager to show off the full extent of their wealth and power. That wasn't just her estimation though, she'd heard her uncle, Archmaester Vaegon, sigh and cite…

- Sixth Moon, 109 AC Daeron The winds buffeted against Daeron as his dragon folded her wings and dived toward High Tide. He could hear the screeches of the dragons behind him and turned his head briefly to catch a glimpse. Laena was quick on their tail astride Shrykos and not far behind her were Jace and Luke atop their own dragons, fighting to not be last. A prod he felt seemingly inside his own mind from Terrax through their bond nudged him to pay attention to where they were going. With this high-stakes…

- Sixth Moon, 109 AC Jacaerys They had left King's Landing within a day of his altercation with Daemon. His mother and Lucerys had refused to speak to him at all the day they returned to High Tide and even after that their few limited interactions had been curt and cold. He wasn't exactly sure what his younger siblings thought. Daeron and Laena were certainly upset about his recklessness and their consequential separation from their friend Aegon but they seemed to be supportive of him against Daemon overall…
