Daemon and Aemma conversed with Harwin about what they were going to do.
"I will stay and patrol the skies on Caraxes waiting for any sightings, when he turns up I shall be ready to end his pathetic life. I'm coming for his head, I shall use it to decorate a spike",
"Wait, no. You cannot take away my chance at vengeance for yourself".
"Aemma, this is not up for discussion. You are to return to your mother",
"But father-", Aemma whined.
"No, I understand that you want to avenge Lucerys. I know you are angry but you will listen when I say you are to go back to King's Landing",
"Surely you of all people know of acting upon rage. Why must you push me away when I am trying to help, to do my part in this war. Why are you trying to steal this from me?".
"Because what kind of a father would I be if I let my daughter get herself killed? I am not trying to steal anything from you but protect you so that we don't lose you",
"But even if I go back, we would lose you. Losing you would harden our hearts. Not only would we lose a part of ourselves to grief but it would break mother. She was greatly saddened by the deaths of people she cared for but losing you would break her heart entirely".
"Perhaps that may be true but better I die than you. Now ready yourself for the journey back",
"I-".
"Aemma", Daemon spoke sternly.
"Yes father". She spat before storming away from him and slamming every door she encountered. Daemon sighed as he heard her.
"Rhaenyra used to tell me stories of when the boys were younger, how Jace would storm out in a tantrum whenever he did not get whatever he wished. She would tell me that he always went to Laenor to get what he wanted when she said no and that he would come to her when Laenor said no",
"Laenor was their father just as much as you. He may have had longer than you but you will both always be their father".
"I never thought I'd see the day that the Rogue prince acted against his usual nature. You are a changed man in some ways, fatherhood has changed you",
"Tis not only fatherhood but Shaera. I changed for her, she deserves all the world to fall at there knees. She is a queen without a crown, a goddess put into this world to better it".
"We are more alike than I thought, we both would do anything for those we love. I have failed Rhaenyra and the boys and yet she still loves me. I do not deserve the perfection that is she",
"You have not failed her. If you were not the husband that Rhaenyra deserves then not only would she let you know but so would Shaera".
"I do not doubt that".
Whilst thinking of their beautiful wives, Aemma stomped back into the room. They thought she would yell more but she stopped abruptly before running over and hugging Daemon tightly.
"I love you Kēpa",
"I love you Aemma. I will accompany you then come back here once I know you are safe".
Unbeknownst to them, Alys was lurking outside the room awaiting details to relay to Aemond. Her visions kept chanting, at first she saw Aemma and Aemond die but then she saw Daemon instead of Aemma and then she saw flashes of vibrant blue that confused her greatly.
Whilst she was writing letters to her lover about the undecided future she kept seeing, Daemon and Aemma went to their dragons and flew to King's Landing.
Hearing the dragons, Baelon ran to the window.
"Mother it is father and Aemma!",
"What?". Shaera joined her son at the window to see he was right. She threw the door open and wrapper her arms around Aemma.
"Oh my girl, my darling girl. I was so worried", Shaera carressed Aemma's hair as she kissed her forehead.
"I'm sorry mother. Are you angry at me?",
"I am not angry but you frightened me, I thought something awful would happen to you".
Then Alyssa ran outside, Aemma stood up from Shaera's embrace and walked over to her twin. Alyssa looked at her with a fierce look, almost like the face of hatred until it changed. Alyssa pulled her sister into a tight hug.
"I'm sorry Lyssa",
"Please don't leave me again, we came into this world together. I can't bare it without you".
Shaera and Daemon watched as their oldest children reunited and went inside. Shaera went to follow when Daemon pulled her back, his hands planted on her hips.
"I have missed you, My flame",
"And I you, dear husband".
"What is wrong?",
"Nothing".
"Do not lie to me, my flame".
Shaera leaned forward and kissed with a great passion before pulling back when they both needed air.
"I know you as well as you know me. You will leave to fulfill what Aemma tried and I may lose you", her voice wavered and that was when he knew something truly was weighing down on her and it wasn't just usual concern.
"I want to be strong for our children but if you die, if you leave me in this world it would break every part of me",
"I told you once before, my flame, nothing could truly keep us apart. Not even death".
"That won't make it any easier. I have survived the cruelty of this world and I know I will not be able to continue in it without you",
"You are strong, you a brave. You will survive this world, my flame. I am willing to die for you as much as I want to live for you".
"Please",
"Please what?".
"Please do not ever leave me Daemon, please".
Daemon felt his heart twitch as he looked at her face. Even when she was crying, he thought she was the most beautiful woman to ever exist. Daemon looked at her like she was a rare and precious gemstone that only the luckiest of people can obtain. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she waited for him to answer her. Daemon kissed her as she had done, with the same aggression but also gentleness.
"My flame, if my fate is decided that I shall die then their is no changing it but you must know that I will try for you",
"Fate is inevitable and yet, it is all that we want to change to benefit ourselves".
"Precisely",
"When do you leave?",
"I had only intended to accompany Aemma back but I will stay longer for you".
"No, I cannot ask you to do that. As much as I want you to stay, I will not restrict your choice",
"I thought you would understand by now, I will do what you desire above all else".
"Daemon-",
"My flame do not say my name like that, tis already difficult for me to control myself around you but when you say my name like that. I am indebted to you".
"Then shall we make the most of what could be our final time together?",
"You should stop speaking as if we know I am to die on the morrow but yes, we shall for the sake of that we may not get the chance once the one eyed cunt shows himself".

Daemon lifted Shaera into his arms and carried her bridal style to their chambers, the room was rather cold from the lack of use as Shaera had been staying in Alyssa's room who begged her mother not to leave her whilst Aemma was gone.
When he put her down, they wasted no time quickly connecting their lips. Their tongues fought against each other as they refamiliarised themselves with the taste. Daemon's hand ran along her back before pulling the laces at the back of her dress. The material fell away as he admired her. She always felt insecure after having five children, like he would no longer find her beautiful and yet Daemon always maintained the same look of lust in his darkened eyes. He was ravenous before she had their children and he was the same now, he was feral for all parts of her. He loved the dip in her hips, he loved her thighs and the stretch marks that decorated them. Daemon Targaryen was a man who knew what he wanted and he would take it every time, he wanted to ravish every part of Shaera.
Shaera pushed him down onto the bed and ran her hand down his front before pulling his tunic away to reveal his skin. Her hand carressed his torso, running over his skin like her life depended on it. Daemon helped her remove her small clothes whilst she pulled of his trousers. Her hands wrapped around his cock, causing him to groan. He began kissing the sweet spot on her jaw, her hand jerked him faster as she moaned from his lips being all over her.
Daemon guided her hips towards his as he entered her. He felt as if he could die a happy man with the view of Shaera on top of him. Her breasts just begging him to touch as they bounced infront of his face. Their bodies combined, he thrusted into her with a ferocity of lust. Their bodied were made for one another. Shaera grabbed Daemon's hand and brought it up to her throat. His large veiny hands complied with her wishes and softly squeezed her neck without hurting her but causing her to gasp slightly as she moaned at the feeling. Her hips moved faster as she layed her hand on top of his pressing harshly. They both reached their high, satisfaction evident as gripped the bedsheets. As they both caught their breath they heard a knock at the door.
"My lady? Your bath is ready", one of the maids informed. Shaera had forgotten that she asked for a bath after her moment of distraction. When she went to answer, Daemon thrusted his hips up info her again. She bit her lip to stop herself from screaming out his name. Daemon smirked at her before his face scrunched up in pleasure when pulled his disheveled hair.
"Thank you for telling me, I shall see to it in a moment".
When she was content that the maid had left, Shaera turned her head to look at Daemon again.
"If you want to join me in the bath, you are more than welcome unless you do seek to tease me again",
"My flame, you know I cannot resist the urge to tease you".
Shaera got up from his lap and walked away to grab a hairbrush, she began brushing her hair whilst Daemon watched her naked frame flaunt about infront of him. Shaera covered herself with a thin robe and held her nightgown as she went to the door.
"Do close your mouth husband, you may catch flies. Now are you going to continue gawking or are you going to come with me?", her voice hoarse from their previous activities. Daemon got up from the bed and put on his trousers before he and Shaera got to the room. Steam bellowed over the edges of the lavish bath tub, heat emanated from the clear water. Daemon got in first before he helped Shaera in who sat on his thighs. His hand ran his nail across the sides of her thigh a few times before she spoke up, interrupting his thoughts.
"Daemon?",
"Yes, my flame".
"What is on your mind?",
"You, always you".
"I am being serious",
"So am I. You, my flame are constantly in my thoughts. I crave you at all hours".
"As you should".
Daemon chuckled as he replied.
"Cheeky",
"I am not cheeky, I simply know my worth. You should do well to remember that you must have married me for some reason".
"I married you because I love you and could not get you out of my mind. I changed my ways because I knew you were worth my everything in all ways. I crave not only your body but your soul and your company. I have always needed you and I always will",
"And I shall always need you, more than I have ever needed anybody else before".
"We will always have each other, even in death",
"Always, my flame".
