Mother please ...help me
The crackled thunder struck the grey skies as the rain made no move to end its never ending pouring, winds blew harshly as if it shows that the heavens had been angry, enraged even as the eyes of above witness the dismay that was to occur at this very moment
there laced in his armor stood the king with the sword once weilded by the conquerors sheathed by his side and the paired crown placed on his head, he stood tall as the rain poured down the army of men in formation and ready to march at the command of their king
dusk was soon to approach and there will a battle of blood and dragons commence, a decision aegon had made when all his reliable and of most importance allies had been put to the sword—now what was he to do other than end the war his began
"at your command your grace" said a knight quietly at the kings side, aegon looked among his army and lifted his chin high "open the gates" was his order
from above looking down as the men began marching out the gates, alicent watched as her son mounted his horse making his way to the front lines wanting to lead his men. not long ago had she heard of her son planning an ambush on his half sister as an element of surprise so he could gain a victory of the war of thrones, long had it been discussed and now the plan is to be executed—ships had been ready for the men to sail to dragonstone and the roar of sunfyre matched the thunder in skies
and each and every one of the men left the confinements of the red keep leaving the castle with only but a little protection and attendance, alicent moved away from the balcony walking back into the castle walls as she made a quick way to her chambers
the heels of her boots clicked against the floors as alicent rushed, turning each corner swiftly with only the blur image of her silk navy gown flowing behind the haste figure of the woman. the familiar door had been made in her view as alicent quickly opened her doors before shutting them behind her
"he left" was her simple words letting her eyes meet her daughter and the three little children sleeping on the brunettes bed. helaena had seem to release a breathe of relief as she glanced at her children "there are still guards roaming the castle mother, how are we to leave when one of them could see us and inform aegon" helaena couldn't help but express her concern knowing she should've trusted her mothers word
alicent threw aside the covers revealing three cases that had been hidden in the corners of the room "fret not my sweet, i assure no eye will even notice our disappearance" the woman sent a smile to her daughter who nodded after a short hesitant pause "now come, we must make haste"
helaena, dressed in a simple pale pink dress and cream gloves with her long pale hair pinned up in a braided updo had covered herself in a thick black cloak as she was quick to take the last belongings placing them in a sack
alicent too covered in a dark navy cloak with her brown curled locks in a simple braid had taken bag from beneath her bed that held silvers that could last for however long they needed "is that all we nee–" helaena was cut off when a knock from the far corner of the room was heard
helaena looked to the door expecting someone to be awaiting outside but alicent was quick to rush to where the knock was sounded out as she ripped of the silk covers revealing the hidden door behind it, she pulled it open expecting to find the figure to whom had planned this alongside her—but was mistaken when sam had been standing in alicents view with a rather distraught look on his face but quickly covered it up
the brunette breathed out "where is she" she asked shakily
sam moved past alicent into the room "the carriage awaits outside, we must be quick for the ship waits at the shore for us rather impatiently" he avoided her question taking cases with a struggle but managed to take ahold of all three
"sam ...where is zaenya?" alicent asked once more
helaena looked to the man as she too wish to know of the womans whereabouts when she was suppose to meet them here
the man sighed looking down before glancing back to alicent "she said to get you all on the ship safely, she'd catch up to us in a while"
the brunette shook her head "we are not leaving without her sam, i must find her"
sam stepped forward to protest "this could be dangerous–"
"i do not care!" the brunette snapped in panting, the obvious nervousness knawing at her "get helaena and the children to the ship and i'll find zaenya"
"mother" helaena spoke up now worriedly
alicent sent her pleading look "please ...i cannot lose her again"
was the last of her words before alicent was quick to turn swiftly and practically ran out the room through the secret passage way that she knew like the back of her hand, her breathes heavy as she pushed open the door to the back of the castle where the carriage and two horses stood before running out in the rain to the first horse she could reach
alicent gripped at its reigns taking in a deep breathe before mounting the stallion settling to her comfort and gestured with the reigns for the horse to take off—with a neigh its legs ran forward and galloped through the rain. the pure adrenaline had rushed through alicent as she wiped the rain that covered her eyes
she had not known where the tall woman might be, mayhaps still in dragonstone and it might take days for her to arrive at its shores on horseback, but the brunette couldn't find the care to go back—her mind set on finding zaenya
"they march to the openfields as was last spotted, we take our men and surround the perimeter so they have no way to escape, i shall take caraxes and burn half his men and you with syrax will meet him from above" the orders of daemon ranked through the tent as he walked through the campsite laced in his armor
it had been spotted that the false king marches to dragonstone by the spies of the rogue prince long before aegon could act out his plane, now the queen and her stead stand steadfast on the openfields to meet her half brother in the middle where there would either be a form of peace or a battle of fire and blood
"and what of the prisoner my prince? two guards had already been killed with her still bounded, the queen will soon find out of her imprisonme–" the guard clamped his mouth closed when daemon sent him a sharp glare
"the queen will know of nothing, understood" he gritted out, and with a quick nod was his response
daemon grunted walking off to the far side of the camp where it was hidden to all, especially to the eyes of the queen as he neared the sight with his boots stomping in the mudded puddles as the rain washed over the sight
the prince took ahold of the torch as he neared the small tent, throwing it open his dark violet eyes meet the face of his own, a face of his mother, his daughter—chained tightly to the log seated on the ground
eyes of two expected the violet hues to meet once again as the very darkness in them matched their makers "came to convince me once more father? or place me I more chains" asked the woman boredly
daemon hung the torch "you wouldn't have been in this predicament if you hadn't fucked that whore putting a bastard in her and turning your back on your own blood" he shrugged
zaenya made no move to give a reaction just staring at him blankly "guess it runs in the family"
the prince narrowed his eyes "a fight is to commence that needs the aid of your talents, yet you waste it and plan to run away all in the name of love? did i raise you to become such a coward?"
the tall woman gave a shrug of her own "i did learn from the best, and i hope you do know once i get out these chains, i will dismember each part of you" she leaned her head back against the log casually
daemon hummed "i take you haven't made the right choice" the man sighed pushing off the table he leaned against standing up straight "i do love you daughter and do know this is for your own good ...anew lesson a father teaches his daughter i suppose"
zaenya chuckled "oh? my don't i feel special" she smiled sarcastically
the man ignored her amusement "goodbye now daughter"
and as he left, the smile slipped from the womans face. her hands wringed against each other before releasing the loosened chains in her hold letting the heavy chains fall from her body and she stood from the ground "stupid man" zaenya took ahold of the torch looking to the burning flames, the light illuminating within the eyes of the woman as it matched the burning rage she felt at this very moment
zaenya threw the torche to the ground letting the flames engulf the tent she was imprisoned in as she made her way out swiftly, without alerting anyone as her mind was set on finding her dragon
the ruckus of a campsite had brought alicent back to reality, her eyes widened when she saw the banner of rhaenyra targaryen flowing with the harsh winds and rain. she was quick to pull at the reigns of her horse as the brewing feeling in her heart told her that zaenya might within the crowd of men
brown eyes looked in panic around as she dismounted the horse, hands lifting at her dress as alicent moved as quietly through the woods as she could muster—but fate had seem to not be on her side as one of the guards posted caught the view of the dowager queen
"intruder! cease your steps!" he alerted "stop her and bring the intruder to her grace"
alicent jumped in fright as her heart dropped when she had been spotted, she stumbled back holding onto her stomach as the guards rushed her way. the brunette was to turn around and run but was paused in her steps when a guard came from behind causing her to bump into his frame and snap her eyes to meet the face of ser arryk
"your trespassing" the familiar sight of the dowager queen made the man think back to his own twin brother, how he sided with the usurper
"please, i mean no trouble please ser, i have to find zaenya please" the brunette stumbled over her words pleading with tearful eyes making it known that her intentions are truthful and unharmful
the man observed her before glancing to the oncoming guards, he looked conflicted, unable to come up with with a decision whether to hand the woman or release her "please ...i cannot lose her" he knew of zaenya and had grew fond of the woman, now it seems the once queen of the seven kingdoms ever so mighty and righteous stood before him only but a woman who shared a love for his friend
alicent gasped when ser arryk grasped her arm pulling her away from the guards and ran with her in hold into another path "hey! stop right there!" the distant yells of the guards was heard as the two ran through a different direction of the campsite
"alert the queen! the usurper nears!" bells ranked through the field, horns blew just as the rain began pouring harder and the thunder worsened
"wait" alicent pulled away from ser arryk pausing in her step to catch her breathe, hand clutching at her small swell belly "whe...where is zaenya" she panted calming her racing heart
"the prince daemon had ordered her imprisonment without the knowledge of the queen, i know where she is, stay here until i return with her" his eyes dropped down to the woman holding her stomach before looking her face "your son comes and this fight could place you in danger, you have to stay here" alicent shook her head
"no, no i will not" the man placed a hand on her shoulder "i am only helping you because zaenya has been a friend of mine and you seem to care for her, i only aid you for i know you side with the usurper no longer and there might be a chance my brother shall do the same—so please, stay here" his voice now demanded before he took out a blade "keep this close if anyone finds you here, i won't be long before i return with her"
and with that he left within the mist of the night, alicent leaned against the trees holding the knife close to her, eyes drifting to the sky before closing them "...mother ..." the woman sniffed back her tears calling softly to the heavens where her mother had been
"mother please ...help me"
