The Heirs of the Sea Snake a ck2 agot aar

She could hear the roars of several dragons in the distance she knew that they came from the dragonmount but she knew did not have the time to listen to the sounds that a dragon can make as she had heard in the council meeting before she flew to Driftmark the usurper had ordered a contingent of his men to take Dragonstone.

"The usurper must be a great fool if he thinks that less than three thousand men could take Dragonstone Rhaenys said to one of the highest officers that had accompanied her from Driftmark.

"Aye that he is the officer responded but no doubt it is the folly and arrogance of youth like our own ser Addam"

Rhaenys face darkened at the mention of Addam even though she had only met him once she could not stand to be in his presence though it was not for any fault of his own but she could not stand the fact that he had been named a son of her own Laenor for whilst Laenor had accepted and cared for the children of Rhaenyra they were not of his own blood but the blood of Harwin Strong. The first time she had seen Jacaerys it had been clear that he was not the son of Laenor Velaryon and Rhaenyra Targaryen both of whom had the silver hair and purple eyes of old Valyria but somehow their children had the brown hair,eyes and pug nose of ser Harwin Strong. Though Rhaenys had not been suprised or angry that Laenor was not the father for he had never showed any interest in women the way most men did but he had been very fond of men his own age especially Joffrey Lonmouth and later the snake Qarl correy who had murdered her son despite lavish gifts that Laenor had bestowed upon him. But still her husband had the gall to name his own bastards Laenors sons just so they could inherit Driftmark.

"Princess the officer suddenly said making her focus once more we are approaching Dragonstone our scouts tell me that the enemy has already reached the castle and is laying siege to it as we speak"

"Then prepare for battle Rhaenys replied for you will be leading them into battle"

"Me? but you are the leader of this army princess are you leaving us to die?"

"Do not pretend to be such a fool Rhaenys replied i am the blood of the dragon and i ride a dragon i intend to mount Meleys and burn the usurpers forces to the ground"

"Why do need me to lead me our army into battle then if you are just going to burn them to the ground?"

"I will not slaughter them in their sleep she responded"

"Do you intend to use us as bait then the officer asked her"

"I would not use that word but yes"

Rhaenys then began to walk towards her dragon and mounted the red queen. Rhaenys decided to past the time waiting for her army to land on Dragonstone and engage the enemy by flying Meleys around the island several times. Rhaenys looked down to check where the army was when Meleys was about to fly around Dragonstone for the third time only to see that they were marching towards each other. Rhaenys then commanded Meleys to descend upon the enemy while breathing fire but a few moments later the enemy host had already disbanded with each man attempting to save his own life suddenly she heard the roar of another dragon but it could not be any of the usurpers because the roar had come from Dragonstone itself and when Rhaenys turned to look she saw prince Daemons Caraxes flying towards them.

" That was a good battle Daemon said when they landed in the courtyard of Dragonstone"

"That it was Rhaenys said while dismounting Meleys but it looks like we have company as she said when she saw Rhaena and Baela running towards them"

"Rhaena was the first to speak i have something to show both of you Rhaena said"

"Not now Rhaenys replied i need to rest"

"But"

"You heard what your grandmother said Prince Daemon replied"

"Suddenly Rhaena said my egg has hatched i have a dragon"

"You have dragon Daemon asked suprised?

When did it hatch?

During the battle Rhaena answered"

"A dragon needs a name Rhaenys said have you named it?"

"Yes Rhaena answered its name is Belmurtys"

"Good Rhaenys replied but now i really need to rest"



Suddenly Rhaenys woke from her sleep she thought that she had heard the roar of a dragon but surely she had just dreamt it but then a dragon roared again. Rhaenys quickly dressed herself and ran out of her chamber to the courtyard to see what was happening to her horror she could see that the dragon Cannibal was in the courtyard and it had a rider who could had been mad enough to even think about taming the Cannibal. Rhaenys walked towards the Cannibal and shouted to its rider.

"Who are you and what do you want"

"Do you not recognize me princess Rhaenys a familiar voice sternly asked?"

"Rhaenys thought about where she had heard this voice before and then said of course i recognize you lord Celtigar"

"It is good of you to recognize me princess Bartimos said as he dismounted his dragon"

"My lord Rhaenys said if i may ask what madness drove you to tame the Cannibal"

"As the princess surely knows we Celtigars like you Targaryens and Velaryons are able to trace our lineage back to the freehold of Valyria and i must confess that i grew a little jealous when your own Velaryon children tamed their dragons but i told myself then their mother is the blood of the dragon and that was that but now decades later i find that even baseborn bastards or their descendants are able to ride the beasts of old Valyria so i thought why should i not be able to do the same.

Addam Velaryon was drinking along with his men they had been harassing the usurpers forces for the last few days but just a few hours ago they had heard that the usurper himself along with his sister queen Helaena and his brother Aemond one eye were gathering an army in the stormlands but no one knew where the army would be heading"

"Ser Addam! a elderly soldier shouted this is folly we cannot hope to win the battle tomorrow they have dragons"

"As do we Addam answered i will fly Seasmoke into battle myself on the morrow"

"But they have three dragons whilst we have only one"

Somewhat irritated Addam asked.

"What do you know of dragons anyways?"

" I know but a little of dragons the soldier answered but i grew up on Dragonstone so i am not a stranger to dragons and this i know your Seasmoke may be able to kill the usurpers Sunfyre but he is younger and thus weaker than Dreamfyre and Vhagar"

At the mention of Vhagar all the soldiers in the tent turned towards the elderly soldier for while most did not know which dragon Dreamfyre and Sunfyre was all men in the seven kingdoms knew the name of Vhagar the last of the three dragons that had conquered Westeros along with Aegon the conqueror and his sisters. Suddenly all the soldiers in the tent began to shout some in despair and in agreement with the elderly soldier others shouted in agreement with himself that they outnumbered the with many hundreds of men.

"Silcence Addam shouted we will defeat the usurper forces tomorrow no matter how many dragons they have but now all should return to their tents or wherever you sleep for we must be rested for the battle"

Addam then walked from the tent towards his personal tent where he would sleep.


"Ser"

Addam woke from his sleep and found that a frightened servant had been the one to wake him.

"What is it?"

"The enemy has begun to march towards us"

How could he be such a fool he had forgotten about the battle. Addam quickly dressed himself and ordered the servant to help him with his armor. When he had been fully dressed in his armor he ran out of his tent towards Seasmoke and mounted his pale silver dragon.

Seasmoke left the ground and flew towards the enemy army when Seasmoke was starting to breath fire Addam heard another dragons roar and it was quickly approaching.
When the dragon came within eye sight it turned out to be not one dragon but two they were without a doubt Sunfyre the golden and the legendary Vhagar. Addam commanded Seasmoke to fly towards Sunfyre he might not survive but if he was to die he intended to take the usurper with him but both Sunfyre and Vhagar instead of fighting fled or so Addam thougt until Seasmoke shook and began to fall to the ground when Addam attempted to look behind him he saw that Seasmoke was missing his tail and left leg and was bleeding heavily but Seasmoke still managed to soften the fall like he just had landed but Addam did not doubt that his dragon was bleeding to his death. When Addam looked upwards he caught a glimpse of a dragon but it did not look like either Vhagar or Sunfyre so it must have been Dreamfyre that killed his dragon.

When Addam loosened the chains that attached him to the saddle of his dragon he noticed that Seasmoke had landed on several enemy soldiers but when Addam looked across the battlefield he could see that most of the usurpers forces was breaking so he dismounted and ran towards his troops only to feel something hard hit the back of his head and then everything turned black.

"Addam suddenly woke up to hear two people talking.

"We should ransom him back to his true father one voice said"

"and return a valuable commander to the bitch queen never the other voice said"

"Do as you want then brother the first voice said but i will be flying to Dragonstone to bring down the false queen"

"Thank you brother the second voice said"

Addam could hear footsteps coming closer he tried to move only to notice that both his arms and legs were chained.

"So you are awake the second voice said"

Addam suddenly raised his head to see a man with silver hair and one purple eye his other was not were it should be but it was replaced by a sapphire.

"Do you know who i am Aemond Targaryen asked?"

"You are Aemond one eye Addam answered"

"Good then tell the stranger that it was me who sent you he said while he took a dagger from his belt and slit Addams throat"

Then everything went dark.

Rhaenys was watching her granddaughters feed their dragons in the caverns of Dragonstone that had been made for dragons while Rhaena`s Belmurtys was still a hatchling Baela`s Moondancer had recently grown large enough for Baela to ride her though she was still no larger than a warhorse.

"They look like they will be mighty dragons in their time Rhaenys said"

"Grandmother what are you doing here Baela asked hoping to sound suprised?

Rhaenys could not help but smile even though she would not allow it she could guess that Baela was going to ask to join her in harassing the besieging forces of the usurper as she herself and Daemon had done for the last couple of days.

"You know well that i will mount Meleys and harass our attackers why else would i wear my armor"

"May i join you Baela asked?"

"You will not join me Rhaenys answered i will not let any child of Laena Velaryon risk her life"

"But i will not be risking my life Baela protested i fly a dragon Moondancer will not let any harm come to me"

"I do not doubt that Moondancer will let any harm come to you but she is still little more than a hatchling"

"What of it Baela replied they are but men how could they bring down even Moondancer"

"They may only be men but it was still mere men that brought down Meraxes and queen Rhaenys my namesake and Moondancer is not close to half the size of Meraxes when the dragon died"

"But"

"You are truly the granddaugter of your grandmothers Rhaenys said do you not think i know how you feel if had not been pregnant with your own mother i would gladly have accompanied Corlys and my own father prince Aemon Targaryen to Tarth even though it could have meant my death as it did for my prince father as for your fathers mother there also much of Princess Alyssa in you Baela but the answer is still no"

"Almost in one voice both Baela and Rhaena said father never speaks of his mother"

"That is not suprising Rhaenys answered my aunt died when i was merely ten and your father was even younger than you were when Laena died"

"What was Alyssa like Rhaena asked was she a great beauty?"

"Your grandmother was not a great beauty Rhaenys answered but she was a brave woman and not unfamiliar with a sword"

"She was a warrior Baela asked if so this is unfair i am not even allowed be in the courtyard when the boys are training"

"I would not call her a warrior as she was not allowed to fight in any battle by the side of my Grandfather or her Brother-husband Baelon the brave"

"What was she then Baela asked?"

"A brave woman but i have men to harass Rhaenys replied"

When she was walking away she could hear the roar of a dragon far above Dragonstone she thought that Daemon was joining her in harassing the enemy so she quickly found her red queen and mounted Meleys. When Meleys took flight Rhaenys was forced to move her arms to her eyes as the sun was unusually strong today but when she tried to see where the enemy was she saw that the sun was moving quickly towards her then she saw that it was not the sun but a dragon and by its coloring it could be no one but Sunfyre the usurpers own dragon. Sunfyre tried to bite at Meleys throat but missed and bit her dragons wing instead Meleys let out a roar of pain and then began her own attack and bit the wing of Sunfyre instead. Sunfyre suddenly turned to flee and it was then she saw that he had rider on his back Rhaenys thought to herself the usurper is not as stupid as i thought for Sunfyre was much younger than Meleys and could not hope to withstand her. She pursued the usurper and his dragon it was clear they were trying to fly to Kings landing but they did not escape her and so Meleys descended upon the back of Sunfyre and tore the dragon to shreds. As the corpse of Sunfyre fell into Blackwater bay Rhaenys flew back to Dragonstone and when she dismounted her dragon Daemon ran towards her.

"What happened Daemon asked i heard the roar of a dragon then he turned to look at Meleys what managed to wound the red queen so badly Daemon asked"

"Rhaenys simply answered the usurper is dead"

Somebody suddenly entered the cabin. The sea snake raised his head from the reports that had arrived to Dragonstone regarding the war and looked towards the door only to see ser Bartimos the master of arms at Driftmark. "What brings you to me ser Bartimos Corlys Velaryon asked?"

"We have arrived my lord"

He had guessed as much for Ser Bartimos was usually loath to part with a chair but he had still insisted to accompany the sea snake to the negotiations.

He slowly rose from his chair and walked towards the door and ser Bartimos. When he left the cabin he could smell the stench of Kings landing but when he turned to try and look upon the fields beyond the city he saw only smoke and charred fields but he could not say that he was suprised for he knew his wife well enough to know that she would lay waste to the area surrounding the city but she still loved the city of her forefathers that could have been hers if only things had happened differently. He would have preferred that Rhaenys remained on Dragonstone to defend their grandchildren but she would not hear of it she had said that she was of more use on the field of Battle on the back of Meleys and if he would go alone he would be in great danger but if they knew the red queen was outside their capital they would not dare do him any harm.

"It would seem like we have company ser Bartimos said"

The sea snake quickly looked towards the docks where he saw a man in the prime of his life dismounting from an armored destrier. The man was no doubt a noble judging by his clothing though more revealing was the escort of gold cloaks that accompanied him. The noble was now walking towards the ship.

"Is that you lord Corlys the noble asked?"

"I am indeed Corlys Velaryon he replied but if i may ask who are you noble knight?"

"I am ser Gwayne Hightower the knight answered with a smile"

Hightower he thought to himself this man is kin to Alicent Hightower and her children and his smile though he clearly wanted to seem like he was trustworthy his smile revealed his true intentions.

"If you pardon me my lord i was sent here to escort you to the red keep where my father await you"

"Your father the Sea snake asked?"

"The lord regent ser Otto Hightower"

He suddenly realized that this was not just some random Hightower but he was the son of Otto Hightower and therefore brother to the former queen Alicent and Uncle to the usurper and his siblings.

"As you will Corlys said take me to the red keep"

He could suddenly hear the sound of trumpets welcoming him to the red keep.

"We have arrived he could hear ser Gwayne say"

"Ser Bartimos would you be so kind to help me out of this palanquin"

With a sigh Bartimos said

"Of course my lord"

When he was on the ground once more ser Gwayne led them to the chamber of the small council where two other men was waiting one of them he clearly recognized as Otto Hightower but he did not know who the other was.

"Who is the man at your father side Corlys asked ser Gwayne"

"He is not important just a herald who is here to announce my father"

Then the herald began to speak.

"May i present to my lord the lord regent of the seven kingdoms Ser Otto Hightower uncle to the lord of Oldtown and Great grandfather to his grace Jaehaerys of the house Targaryen second of his name"

"My lord Bartimos said suddenly may i have the honor of presenting you"

"Of course he answered"

Then Bartimos began

"this is Lord Corlys Velaryon also known as the sea snake lord of the tides,master of Driftmark and hand of the queen to her grace Rhaenyra of the house targaryen first of her name"

"It is good to meet you again ser Otto"

"And you look as wise as ever ser Otto replied"

"You are kind to say so but we are here to negotiate not to exchange pleasantries"

"That we are ser Otto said we are willing to surrender on certain conditions"

"Good he replied let me hear these conditions"

" Our conditions are that no harm come to me or any of my kin and that those of my kin that wish may leave for Oldtown or remain in Kings landing, and that your queen will recognize the Marriage of my granddaughter and her own sister the princess Helaena to Manfred Hightower the heir to Oldtown"

The sea snake was shocked

"Has Helaena already taken a second husband Aegon has barely been dead half a year and besides should she not be shown respect as she is now the queen dowager according to your own laws"

"My lord we are negotiating and her marriage does not concern you"

"You are right ser Otto what is the other conditions"

"There is only one more condition ser Otto said the princess Jaehaera will be betrothed to your eldest grandson and the eldest of Rhaenyra`s sons Jacaerys Velaryon and when she comes of age they will wed and once Rhaenyra dies she will be his queen"

"You seem to have forgotten ser Otto that Jacaerys is already promised to his cousin and my granddaughter lady Baela Targaryen"

"What about the second son Otto asked"

"Lucerys is also promised to Baela`s sister lady Rhaena and before you ask the third son Joffrey is betrothed to a granddaughter of lord Manderly but i will see if i can find a suitable match for Jaehaera"

"Then i must depart Corlys said but he quickly recalled that he had forgotten one thing if you may the princes Jaehaerys and Maelor aswell as the Princess Jaehaera will accompany me back to Driftmark"

Ser Otto hesitated for a moment before he agreed to it

Well, so long for the Greens.

Poor Jaehaerys II. Didn't even had the time to prove himself.

 

[Alfredvidstige]

Well, so long for the Greens.

Poor Jaehaerys II. Didn't even had the time to prove himself.

Well just because Jaehaerys is no longer sitting the iron throne does not mean the greens are dead both Otto and Alicent still live as do all of Alicents children with Viserys execpt for Aegon.

As for Jaehaerys he is probably safer than he would have been if say Daemon took the city.

 

[Zamarak500]

As for Jaehaerys he is probably safer than he would have been if say Daemon took the city.

Fair point xD

 

[Alfredvidstige]

Just so everyone knows this aar is not dead even though i will be unable to write anything for a week since i am going on a holiday.

 

[Alfredvidstige]

Hello everyone i have very sad news as i recently returned from a holiday trip and was going to continue this story but i could not find the screenshots i had taken of the game and then i noticed that the mod had been updated with the information from fire and blood and that got me thinking about an idea for another aar and thus i am sad to say that this aar is dead. But as i said i have a idea for a new aar in the agot universe based on the new information from the book fire and blood. Before i leave this aar i will give those curious a brief timeline that would have occured.

Jacaerys Velaryon married Baela Targaryen

Corlys dies either at age 77 or 78

Jacaerys therefore becomes the lord of Driftmark at 15

Daemon Targaryen rebels against Rhaenyra for his own claim on the throne but is later killed by Borros Baratheon

Rhaenyra dies only a year or two after Daemon making Jacaerys the new lord of the seven kingdoms and the first king of house Velaryon he rules for about 50 years

Jacaerys grants the highlordship of Dragonstone to Aegon targaryen the historical Aegon the third some time early in his reign.
