Staring at the sun song12/16/2023 Sighing, his broken face scrunches up in pain but he manages her name and something else, "Elaena, the song." Trying to hide my shock I nod my head. It's me Elaena will be married to." Saying it outloud made it all the more real. and Cregan Stark agreed to withdraw his proposal. Taking my hand in his it's the only affection I can remember him offering me in the entirety of my adult life. Viserys sighs, laying his head back onto his pillow. I'm sorry it's, Aemond." I speak softly, apologizing once again for not being my half-sister. Only able to turn his head partly he struggles to speak, "Who goes there? Rhaenyra?" Ignoring the gnawing feeling at my heart I pull up a seat next to him. Viserys' ragged breathing tells me he's not sleeping but lying awake with only his thoughts and the milk of the poppy to comfort him. The many models scattered across his apartments where layered with dust untouched for years. Though the sun had just set, the king's bedroom was in a constant state of darkness. Shutting my chamber door behind me I go to my father for what I think may be the last time. Suddenly I wanted to be better for her and even myself. The trees threaten to break under the gusts of wind, the waves crashing the shores but the lightning and thunder gives way to sunshine, and you realize the rain was no stranger at all but something promised all along to bring you change and growth. On an unbearably hot day the clouds rolled in and at first, the change is unsettling. I wanted nothing more than to be the best son, the best warrior the best everything and maybe he'd see it wasn't only Rhaenyra who was worthy of titles and legacy.Įlaena came into my life like a midday summer storm. As a child he was the very reason I'd thrown myself into training and studies. The only thing that had been missing was my father. They'd know without a doubt that there was nothing I wouldn't do for her, nothing. I'd wanted to take her right then, pull her down onto my horse and ride off into the sunset and fuck her senseless for days on end.įighting for her was an undeniable thrill but I hadn't just wanted to prove myself to her but to her family as well. It was different than what I was used to but it looked decent, better even.Īfter getting dressed in my very best black leather tunic, I find Elaena's favour on the side table and tuck it in my pocket intent on keeping it on my person at all times. Putting up some of my long hair I leave out the small pieces Cregan managed to cut hanging in front of my face. She never flinched, never looked at me with fear or distaste but only love, even if the both of us hadn't at first realized it. ![]() It wasn't until Elaena truly saw me for the first time that I'd gotten used to the idea of not wearing it in the first place. Leaving off my eyepatch it wasn't usual I'd even look at myself long without it. I would've wed her as soon as I cut down Cregan if she'd let me.Ĭatching myself in the mirror, a different man was staring back at me than what I'd been used to. With the very short notice there was no time for the ceremonial robes or headpieces but I didn't mind, all I wanted was her for rest of my life.Įlaena insisted on getting made up for the ceremony and I wouldn't dare fight her on anything on our wedding night, even if it was to tell her she was always beautiful. The son of a bitch put up a decent fight but in the end it wasn't enough because he wouldn't kill for her as I would, that's what set us apart. There was plenty of time for fancy parties and feasts but I wanted the Starks far from Kings Landing when that happens. I'd wondered if Elaena had truly wanted a secret wedding or if she was doing it to please me. My mother would disagree with not only the betrothal but the ceremony being that of Old Valyria and not of The Seven. The maester was notified along with her parents being the only people we told. ![]() □□□□□□ □□□□□□□□□ Though the day had been long there was one last thing I would do before letting rest have me and that was to make Elaena my wife.
