      High Tide, Chapter 7: The Master of Ships Cover
      by Tertius711 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…

      by Tertius711 Viceroy Anardil Arnor was in chaos. The Osfalf, the King's new flagship had been due to reach Angrenost almost five days ago now, but it had never come. A nationwide search was ongoing, as the Arnorian navy combed the Sunset Sea as far west as they dared to go, but nothing had been found. Even searches with the Seeing-Stones had failed to find anything, it was almost as if the ship had vanished. Most now believed that the ship had sunk in a storm. The Council of the Sceptre had announced that if the King…

      by Tertius711 Angrendacil: 3600 E.L "Do you ever wonder, how things could have been if Father hadn't died?" he asked. His mother Amarië looked at him, "Every day." "You know what I have to do Mother. Could you forgive me?" "Does it matter? Whatever my answer is, you will do it regardless. Go Arahael. Do as you will. I have no power over you. I never did," his mother said bitterly. Arahael left the room, leaving his mother behind. His flagship was awaiting him in the harbour. Yet as he was still barely within earshot,…

      by Tertius711 4803 E.L "And there is nothing more that can be done for her?" Arassuil asked, desperate but also resigned. "I am sorry, Your Highness. Our healing arts are among the finest in the world, but we have never been able to cure old age. Her time has come. For one not of the Line of Elendil, she has lived very long indeed already," the healer said. Arassuil sat back down into his seat, his head in his hands. The healer was right of course. For someone not of the royal line, two hundred and ninety-seven years…

Beyond Tyrosh and House Velaryon, the world turned, uncaring of their loss. The Targaryens had successfully…

      High Tide, Chapter 63: A Faltering Rapport Cover
      by Tertius711 Fifth Moon, 126 AC Rhaenys In her youth Meleys had been considered the fastest and nimblest of House Targaryen's dragons. And though she had become lazier with age and size, she still lived up to that reputation, serving Rhaenys well as they soared with speed over the battlefield, deftly evading every single volley of arrows with ease. Whenever they couldn't evade in time, Meleys would simply breathe out fire to incinerate the arrows into ash without Rhaenys even prompting her. The two of them were…

      by Tertius711 Second Moon, 108 AD (7 AC) Aegor Targaryen Their entire family watched nervously as his mother went to work, carefully using the glass candles to reach into the minds of his elder siblings and try and call them back from the darkness their minds had been lost in. There was a pin-drop silence in the room, none daring to disturb his mother’s concentration for fear that it would have dire consequences for their loved ones. That was why even his father and aunt were only watching. Mother was by far the…

      by Tertius711 Sixth Moon, 89 AC Aemon What was his father even doing? Aemon did not know.

Immediately after his father had dismissed the court, almost the entire Targaryen family had raced to meet him in the royal apartments. His decision had taken them all by surprise and they all wanted to know what he was thinking. Viserra had beaten them there…

Any longer in the blizzard and he would…

      Land of the King, Chapter 56: Weary Cover
      by Tertius711 4287 E.L Aelyx Belaerys felt as exhausted as the army he led. Much like his fellow dragonriders and the forces they commanded, he was utterly bone-achingly exhausted. How could he not be, after two years of killing endless Arnorian hordes at the price of several of his comrades? Some of the dead had been his rivals and enemies, but just as many had been his friends and allies, men and women he had known since he was a child. They had all died just the same. After two years of that carnage, Aelyx could…
