°•°• 𝔑ight had taken over the gloomy clouds as all got themselves ready to slumper, jaelys and rhaenyra had taken their children to bed before going to their old chambers here on driftmark°•°•
°•°•and as the couple had bathed, put on their night clothes and departed to their bed within each other's arms— seems as though the children had other ideas°•°•
°•°•the twins and luke shared one chamber along with their cousins baela and rhaena, as they drifted off to dreamland. a sudden shook awoken jaenys as she grumbly snapped open her eyes only to see her cousin baela shaking her shoulder
"jaenys!" baela whispered shaking the girls shoulder°•°•
°•°• "what is it baela?" jaenys sat up rubbing the sleep from her eyes "someone stole vhagar!" baela said in panic , jaenys now fully awake looked to the girl in surprise "what?" she said in disbelief , baela huffed hitting the girls shoulder "someone stole vhagar jaenys! come on" she said once more°•°•
°•°• the girl jumped from her bed as she saw rhaena waking luke , she quickly went to her twins bed shaking the boy roughly "oi! wake up!" jaenys hissed, jaenor groaned lifting his head from his pillow "what is it you twat?" he said scowling making his twin glare at him "come on, we have to go to the catacombs!" °•°•
°•°• "why?" jaenor asked but nonetheless got up from his bed , jaenys discreetly placed a small dagger in the holster of her trousers "someone had taken vhagar" was all she said before she grabbed ahold of baela's hand with rhaena taking luke's. the five children left their chambers on a mission to find the culprit on who took laena's dragon°•°•
°•°• "what are we doing?" luke asked his siblings as they entered the catacombs, the children all turned their eyes to a new person entering. and low and behold it was aemond , a smug look on his face. baela glared tugging jaenys hand "it's him!" she pointed to the green boy°•°•
°•°• "it's me" aemond replied with a cocky smirk, jaenor pulled a face at the boys new attitude "vhagar is my mother's dragon!" rhaena exclaimed beside luke as she glared at him, aemond rolled his eyes waving his hand "your mother's dead ...and vhagar has a new rider now" his smirk widened upon seeing rhaena gape at him°•°•
°•°• "she was mine to claim!" rhaena yelled angered but aemond merely scoffed "then you should've claimed her!" he sneered before turning to the twins and luke "maybe your cousins can find you a pig to ride ...it would suit you" he said cooly°•°•
°•°• rhaena yelled in anger running forward to push the boy, aemond in return punched her in the face. baela gasped as she ran forward giving him a punch of her own "you prick!" the girl fumed at the audacity of him punching her sister, aemond snarled punching her aswell°•°•
°•°• jaenor ran forward , aemond tried punching him but jaenor blocked it punching his stomach and from behind jaenys held him in a chokehold
"what has gotten into you aemond?!"jaenys said in disbelief as aemond wiggled in her hold°•°•
°•°• aemond yelled in frustration head budding jaenor before elbowing jaenys punching her to the ground , luke gasped at the sight wide eyed as fear cripped into him upon aemonds eyes landing on him "want to come at me you freak! your mother should have killed you when you were born!" aemond yelled°•°•
°•°• luke's fear turned into anger as he yelled running forward stomping on aemonds foot and giving him a punch in the face, aemond growled giving luke a hard punch to the nose as the golden eyed boy yelled in pain as he felt a crack°•°•
°•°• "luke!" jaenor gasped , he glared at aemond running forward to knee the boy in the stomach as he head bud aemond "you don't deserve to have a dragon! you little cunt"the velaryon boy yelled so consumed with anger , aemond threw jaenor off him as he kicked sand in his face blinding him momentarily°•°•
°•°•come at me again and i'll feed you to my dragon!" aemond screamed as he picked up a rock wanting to bash jaenor's head in , the boy still having sand in his eyes to block the move°•°•
°•°•aemond raised the rock in his hold moments away from bashing jaenor , but jaenys pushed the rock from his hold and sliced aemond in his face with her dagger°•°•
°•°•aemond screamed in pain as he held his eye, the blood poured from the wound. guards flooded the room as they held the children back°•°•
°•°• "gods be good..." °•°•
°•°•jaelys awoke from her slumper when rapid knocking was heard from her door, rhaenyra stirred awake at the noise as she sat up , quickly she got from the bed opening the door to see a guard standing there looking panicked "lady jaelys! princess! it's the children!" that was all the couple needed to hear before the guard left°•°•
°•°• rhaenyra and jaelys rushed in the main courters panicked "where are they!" said rhaenyra as she looked around , her eyes caught sight of her three injured children standing by an angry looking jace and a worried laenyra°•°•
°•°• "what is the meaning of this!" corlys demanded , baela and rhaena stood by their father and rhaenys°•°•
°•°•"show me! show me!" rhaenyra kneeled down to luke's height as she examined his broken nose, jaelys looked over the twins injuries. jaenor had cuts on his left eyebrow and dried blood from his nose and jaenys had a cut on her lip and just above her right brow°•°•
°•°•"what in the seven hells happened!" jaelys fumed standing to her full height as her glare cut to alicent , the green queen sneered with her own glare "those beast you call children attacked my son!" alicent yelled°•°•
°•°• rhaenyra stood as she glared at the queen almost attacking her right there and than "i will have you tongue for calling my children beast!" the princess sneered with clear anger°•°•
°•°•"what has happened here!" viserys demanded and all the children began shouting°•°•
°•°• "he attacked baela and rhaena!" °•°•
°•°•"he stole my mother's dragon!" °•°•
°•°• "he tried to kill jaenor!" °•°•
°•°• "he called me a freak..." °•°•
°•°•"enough!" viserys voice boomed as the hall quiet down "my son should be telling the tale!" exclaimed alicent making jaelys roll her eyes in annoyance "oh please, you son is not the only one harmed" scoffed jaelys°•°•
°•°• "i will have the truth of what happened, now" viserys demanded as he looked to aemond , alicent scoffed "what else is there to hear?your son has been maimed and their daughter is responsible" rhaenyra glared heatedly at the queen°•°•
°•°• "my children were attacked aswell and was forced to defend themselves , vile insults were spoken to my youngest son and you expect solely my daughter to be punished?" rhaenyra stated keeping jaenys close to her side°•°•
°•°• viserys looked to his daughter confused "what vile insults?" the king said breathlessly, luke looked to his grandsire with his sad big eyes "he called me a freak ...and he said i should've been killed when i was born" the young boy sniffed as his lip wobbled , fresh tears welling in his eyes°•°•
°•°•"you liar!" aemond screamed from the chair "you watch your tone when speaking with my brother" jace spoke up sternly narrowing his eyes at aemond°•°•
°•°• "the princess jaenys brought a blade to the ambush, she meant to kill my son!" alicent said as she looked to the velaryon children with hatred and disgust , laenyra glared at the queen as she pulled luke to her. the quiet girl was ready to fight the queen for her siblings°•°•
°•°•"it was in defense! he was going to kill my brother!" jaenys screamed out in anger , alicent sneered at the girl "you hold your animal or i shall act on myself" alicent snapped , jaelys glared coldly at her "you touch a hair on my daughters head and i will end your entire bloodline" threated the tall woman°•°•
°•°• "you dare threaten the queen!" ser criston said from alicents side , jace snapped his eyes to the guard "stay in your place hound" the prince spat to the man, criston glared at the boy but he than felt a heated glare on his face. turning he saw oberyn dark eyes glaring holes into the mans head. the dornish prince was beyond furious, first his daughters are harmed now these greens take his wife's dragon at her funeral and causing a huge scene°•°•
°•°• "this interminable infighting must cease!all of you we are family, now make your apologies and
show good will to one another.your father, your grandsire, your king demands it!" viserys yelled through the hall is he grew tired of this constant fighting°•°•
°•°• alicent scoffed shaking her head "that is insufficient , aemond has been damaged permanently my king."good will"cannot make him whole" stated the queen , viserys sighed out deeply "i know alicent but i cannot restore his eye" °•°•
°•°•"no because it's been taken!" she snapped , viserys looked to her "what would you have me do?" he asked now irritated, alicent turned her glare to rhaenyra and jaelys "there is a debt to be paid ... i shall have one of her children's eyes in return" murmurs rang through the hall°•°•
°•°• "have your grown mad? you will not touch them!" rhaenyra raged "my dear wife , do not let your temper cloud your judgment" viserys breathed out tiredly°•°•
°•°•"he is your son viserys, your blood!" she cried out , viserys shook her head "enough of this now" he demanded . alicent narrowed her eyes "if the king will not seek justice, the queen will" she spoke eerily°•°•
°•°•"ser criston...bring me the eye of jaenys velaryon" jace picked up his sister as he held his hand on the hilt of his sword ready to cut down the guard if he even think of touching his sister "you will lose your life before you can even blink if you near my child" jaelys hissed to criston°•°•
°•°• "your grace, with all due respect but you should keep your dear wife on a leash if you don't want her loosing her head" oberyns deep voice spoke that had a dornish accent "she threatens your heirs child and cause this scene whilst we just buried my wife moments ago, my girls are harmed and bruised by that prince who took my wife's dragon" the dornish prince was way past angry °•°•
°•°•"you don't belong here! hold your tongue" alicent screamed to the prince "careful now, i would have a thousand scorpions raiding your home by just a snap of my fingers" oberyn dark eyes narrowed to this queen°•°•
°•°•crazy bitch queen thought the prince°•°•
°•°• "this matter is finished alicent" viserys said in warning as he didn't want dorne sacking kings landing for his wife's lethal mouth°•°•
°•°• as he walked away, alicent rushed forward grasping the kings dagger as she ran forward her mind set on killing rhaenyra "your grace stay with the king!" ,"hold your approach!" , "do not ser criston" , "alicent!" °•°•
°•°• rhaenyra who had been checking on her children's injuries turned around just in time to catch the queens hand that held the blade "you've gone too far" rhaenyra seethed°•°•
°•°•"i?what have i done but what was expected of me? Forever upholding the kingdom, the family, the law while you flout all to do as you please" alicent snarled pushing the blade closer but rhaenyra kept a tight grip on her wrist°•°•
°•°• jaelys noticed criston moving his way to them so she quickly stopped in his way , taking the mans blade as she knocked the end on the side of his head. cole fell to the ground unconscious°•°•
°•°• "where is duty? where is sacrifice?it's trampled under your pretty foot again" alicent had a crazed glint passed through her eyes as she truly wanted to kill rhaenyra, no matter the witnesses°•°•
°•°• "and now you take my son's eye and to even that you feel entitled" rhaenyra pushed the woman's hand back that held the blade , whilst her other hand grapsed a full of alicents hair gripping it painfully tight. the queens head flung back as a small cry left her lips , rhaenyra glared coldly at her°•°•
°•°• "exhausting, wasn't it?hiding beneath the cloak of your own righteousness" she sneered gaining strength over alicent as she tightened the grip forcing the queen to look in her now dark violet eyes that was filled with rage "but now
they see you as you are..." °•°•
°•°• alicent wiggled from rhaenyra's grip as the blade plunged itself in the princess wrist, the queen fell in otto's grasp as all stared at the dripping blood spilling from rhaenyra's wound°•°•
°•°•jaelys was itiching to kill the woman "i want you all gone! leave now!" her voice boomed as the clear dark rage was in her silver eyes "if i see you near my wife or my family again, i will make sure you regret ever stepping in a den where you not welcomed" she threatened alicent and otto , and that wasn't just any other ordinary threat°•°•
°•°• it was a promise°•°•
