Sixth Moon, 130 AC The Dowager Lady of Winter "Thank you for your hospitality Sister, Nephews. It was good to see you again after so long but alas, the time has come for us to part ways once again," her elder brother said regretfully. "You can always stay a little longer Uncle," her elder son Cregan said. Her younger son, Corwyn, and her nephews, Vaemond's boys, Daemion and Alyn, looked approving of the idea but her brother rejected it. "I thank you for the offer nephew, but it is a long ride to White…- 606.6 K • Completed
- Ninth Moon, 97 AD (5 BC) The Lion Prince They saw it long before they reached it. Five black towers stretching high into the sky in the distant horizon beside the waters of a lake so large it looked like the sea. It was another two days’ ride after that before they finally arrived though. Had he been any other man, his jaw might have dropped in shock at the sheer size of Harrenhal’s walls and towers. They rose as sheer as cliffs and as high as hills and even the gatehouse was larger than some entire…

- Twelfth Moon, 90 AC Alyssa How had it come to this, Alyssa wondered? Two years ago, all had seemed right in the world. Viserra had just had her newborn sons, the alliance and bond between Houses Targaryen and Velaryon had seemed stronger than ever, and Alyssa had felt like she was finally clawing her way out of the melancholy that had haunted her for years, returning to who she had once been, little by little. Now though? Now that alliance was in pieces, the broken shards strewn on the floor, edges sharp…

Immediately upon leaving King's Landing, Daemon and his company were faced with a choice. Where should they go now? Aegor Bittersteel offered the hospitality of his kin in Stone Hedge in the Riverlands but Quentyn Fireball suggested that they go instead to the Reach as they had far more friends there that would gladly house them and the kingdom was much more enraged by Daeron II's actions than the Riverlands. Quentyn knew his fellow Reachmen well and knew they'd be as infuriated as he about the ludicrous…- 36.8 K • Completed
- Eleventh Moon, 101 AD (1 BC) Visenya “At ease,” Aegon said with a smile. The councilors who had risen to greet them all relaxed, though by decorum none took their seats until Visenya and her siblings did. Her son Aerion and her niece Valaena meanwhile went to the nearby table and began pouring cups of wine from the pitchers to serve to them and each of the ministers. The two of them had started serving as the council’s cupbearers this past year so that they might observe and learn how to govern…

- Excerpt from 'The Sea Snake', the biography of Corlys Velaryon, Abridged Edition. Shortly after the letter from Prince Aemon arrived, Corlys and Viserra Velaryon and their four would journey to King's Landing with a full retinue of Tide Guard and servants.

- Eighth Moon, 120 AC Jacaerys Jace looked over his armor and uniform in the vanity once again. It was a very important day, and nothing could go wrong. He adjusted his bracers and boots one more time as he tried to make himself look as perfect as possible, not a single hair out of place. The servants normally helped his mother and sister get ready but for the most part, Jace and his brothers preferred to dress themselves, finding it much quicker than being hemmed and hawed over by a small army of servants.…

- Ninth Moon, 130 AC Baela "Pay attention," she lectured her children who were fidgeting and muttering to their siblings and cousins. They stood in an exclusive and elevated place of honor near the Father's statue in the Myrish sept and the congregation's eyes were on them as much as they were on the clergy carrying out the service. "Is there even any use in any of this though Mother?" her second son Daemon whispered a protest. "It's all just pointless posturing and pageantry. How much do we really believe…

- Seventh Moon, 126 AC The Dragonless "Dracarys!" his great uncle the King commanded. Caraxes the Blood-Wyrm obeyed. His crimson flames consumed his great-grandfather's body relentlessly, burning until nothing was left of him. It was sad Corlys supposed but he didn't feel that strongly about it. He had never really been that close to his great-grandfather, nor had any of his siblings or cousins, even if the younger ones were crying. Funerals were generally sad events and the mood had gotten to them. His…

- Viserra Second Moon, 91 AC "Maester Desmond has confirmed my suspicions. The poison was the Strangler. The symptoms match perfectly," Corlys said as he walked into the room. His words were calm and measured, but his face gave away his anguish. Viserra knew it was mirrored on her own. She sat on the edge of her bed, her mind brooding. "If I hadn't stopped you from drinking the wine… you'd be dead as well," she said, haunted by the thought. In response, Corlys wrapped her in his arms. "I'm here. I'm alive.…
