Chapter 53

-First I'd like to know how you found me- Ask politely Jocelyn

-Let's say that if I hadn't seen you talking to the picture of Emelyn and Daeron in their room in Arcadia I would never have discovered you, after I saw you I started to put the dots together and I had the final proof when you talked with Otto- explains Eyra

- You're very perceptive and stealthy my queen, come on let's take a walk- says Jocelyn offering her arm to Eyra

-Sure- answers Eyra taking with pleasure the arm of Jocelyn

The two begin to walk the corridors of the north wing, one thing that Eyra had not noticed was the light that seemed to illuminate the corridor as mine had done; they walk in silence for a while until Melesy says:

- My dear girl, you must know that if you are born with magical powers or are respected, but only if you are a man, or are considered a witch, in the case of us women, and are burned at the stake, something many unfair in my opinion-

-But it didn't happen to you- says Eyra

-Exactly, but you must know that I was not caught doing magic, but I treated a child with herbs; when I was taken to the dungeon I was seen by Emelyn and Daeron who, at the time, were still courting but were already in love, as soon as they saw that I was being dragged by the guards they immediately asked why I was being taken away, the guard replied that I had used the magic and then they asked him what magic I had used and he replied that I had treated a child with herbs and for him this was witchcraft- says Jocelyn

-What about them? What did they do? - asks curious Eyra

-They laughed and said that the medicine was not magic, but the guard said that if it was a woman doing it then it was witchcraft, Daeron forced the guard to leave me and went to talk to Aegon who, told him that it was better to send me to Arcadia for my safety- explains Jocelyn

-From there you became inseparable- adds Eyra

- Yes, I loved bothering Daeron, but in the end we were like brothers; then, when I met Oleg, my life was complete. But it's not all pink and flowers- says Jocelyn

-Why? - asks Eyra

-See, after the death of Emelyn's father, she became queen and Daeron king, but the Hightowers did not agree with their marriage, they tried in every way to discredit the two rulers but, after Aegon's threats, they seemed to stop- says Jocelyn

-Did they not stop? - asks Eyra

-No, that was just the beginning, they made arrangements with the Lannisters and the Baratheons to attack first the cities of the new kingdom then Arcadia, as soon as we learned about it we began to think about possible scenarios, we were resisting well, Emelyn and Daeron didn't want to ask Aegon for help because that would cause an internal war but maybe we should have done it- says Jocelyn

-Why? - asks Eyra

-Because then Mos Eisley wouldn't be destroyed and I wouldn't have lost everything...-

Start Flashback

-You go and find women and children, Emelyn and I will go and destroy the ships- Daeron commands Jocelyn and Oleg

-We should wait for Aegon, Visenya and Rhaenys- says Jocelyn

-We do not have time Lyn, many people have already died, we must intervene- reply Emelyn
