The sea knows their name.

Summary:

That same night, on the eve of Aegon ii Targaryen's second name day, the gods unveiled the curtain of the future through dreams to Visery and Rhaenyra. Visery, who had always tried to avoid conflict and was already married to Alicent, made what he considered the wisest choice. He disinherited Rhaenyra and made Aegon his heir. Rhaenyra, who had seen her future as nothing more than a chain of tragedies, accepted her father's decision.

Unable to bear being in the red keep and pretending to be a happy family with people who usurped her, Rhaenyra chose to live in the Vale, with her late mother's family. But it seems that Visery's decision to disinherit Rhaenyra and Rhaenyra's decision to live in the Vale also changed the future of the Targaryen family. Because ever since Rhaenyra stepped her foot out of the red keep with the resolution to never return, the dragon eggs, both the new ones and the ones in the dragon pit all turns cold, and the dragons weakened.

Chapter Text

 



"They didn't just break my heart- They taught it how to doubt its own beat."

"You can't expunge painful or unpleasant memories and events; you must overcome them. But I knew I wasn't strong enough to overcome them. I am tired of fighting a battle I know I will always lose."

“From that dream, I got to learn to expect that even people you trust might be holding a knife in their hand, ready to stab you in the back. You can’t expect that everyone will always be loyal.”

- Rhaenyra Targaryen Arryn
