I See Fire / Jacaerys Velaryon

Chapter 28

Valathore flies over the battlefield and sets fire to The Green's soldiers as I scan the battlefield for Jace or Daemon. My eyes widen seeing Jace on the ground with Aegon standing above him with his sword ready to strike. I quickly tug on Valathore's reigns and make my way toward the two.

When we are almost directly above Aegon I take out my swords and jump off Valathore's back. I land right behind Aegon and swing my blades toward him but he blocks. "You." He growls out and I smile as my eyes begin to glow. I slash my sword toward him again but he blocks and pushes me backward. I keep my eyes focused on Aegon as I spin my swords in my hands.

"You have taken everything from me." I growl out as we circle one another. "No. Not yet." He smiles as he swings his sword toward my head. I duck under his sword and slash my sword cleanly through his arm. He screams in pain and slashes his sword toward me again but I quickly dodge away.

I swing my sword down on Aegon's knee as he kneels to the ground. "My mother. My brother. My best friend." I list as I glare at my uncle. "Any final words?" I ask as I cross my swords across his throat. "They will never accept you as their Queen." He smiles up at me. "No, Aegon. They never accepted you as their King." I say as I cut my swords through his neck.

"Rhaella." Jace breathes out and I turn around and race over to him. "I thought I would never see you again." He smiles as I place my forehead to his and run my hand through his hair. "I love you." I smile as I kiss him passionately. "I love you too." He says as we break away.

"Are you okay?" I ask as I look down at his cut leg and wrist. "I've had worse." He shrugs with a smile of pain. "It doesn't look like it." I reply as look at the long deep cut running from his knee to his ankle, straight through his armor. "Good point." He says with a groan of pain. "I'll be back. Be safe, my love." I say as I hand him one of my swords and run to Valathore.

I climb up onto Valathore's mount and jerk on the reigns. Valathore soars over the battlefield as I look down over the soldiers. I smile seeing The Blacks greatly outmatching The Greens. "AEGON IS DEAD!" I call out over the battlefield gaining everyone's attention. "Drop your arms now and every Green soldier will go free. Refuse and you will perish." I call out and most of the soldiers drop their swords and bows but the ones who don't are cut down. "The war is over!" I call out and the battlefield erupts in applause as I smile.

10 Years Later...

I make my way onto the balcony overlooking Kings Landing as I sigh contently. "My love." Jace says as he places a kiss on my cheek. "Luke." I smile down at the boy in Jace's arms. "Mommy!" The twins call out as they run up to me and Jace. "Rhaenyra, Ana." I smile as I pick up the twin girls.

"When can we go see Grandfather again?" Anastasia asks as she looks up at me. "Soon, my dove." I smile as I place a kiss on her forehead. I lean my head against Jace's chest as we watch our dragons fly over our kingdom. "Soon." I nod as I close my eyes.
