In the world of Westeros, where fire and blood shape everything, there’s always a tale to be told. Some of these stories, they ain’t in the history books, no sir. They come from the imaginations of folk who look at what happened and wonder, “What if?” Well, that’s what this is, a story of what might have been, a little fan fiction from the heart of the dragon’s lair.
You see, King Viserys Targaryen, the one with the crown, he’s got all sorts of troubles on his plate. Ain’t just the politics of the realm either, no. It’s his family, his blood, his daughter. Some say he’s too soft, others say he’s too harsh. But one thing’s for sure, his decisions are bound to change the course of history.
But let’s take a step back. Now, in this here little tale, things go a bit differently than what you might’ve heard in the books or seen on the screen. Imagine, if you will, that Gael Targaryen wasn’t just another member of the Targaryen line, but one with a twist of fate that no one could have predicted. She wasn’t betrothed to some noble house, no. She was out there in the world, living her life, when a wandering singer caught her eye. And well, let’s just say the rest of it wasn’t what anyone expected.
Now, as it is with most stories in this land, things don’t go smoothly. A baby comes from that night, but this here ain’t no ordinary child. It’s the kind of child that would change things, stir the pot. And don’t you know, it wasn’t just Gael’s heart that was stirred—it was the entire realm. The whispers in the court started to grow louder, the gossip spreading faster than wildfire. Some say that child’s bloodline would be the one to lead Westeros into a new era, while others thought it’d be the cause of the kingdom’s fall. Either way, trouble was coming, and it had the scent of dragons about it.
Back in the capital, Elia Martell never thought she’d be living through such madness. She expected to die in King’s Landing, sure enough. She was a woman of the world, strong and capable, but there’s only so much one can handle when the world’s burning around you. She didn’t expect to be stuck raising three children in the midst of it all. She didn’t expect to find herself connected to strangers who, by some strange twist of fate, would come to be her family. But here she was, trying to survive it all. She knew what was at stake—peace, survival, and the hope that maybe, just maybe, she could keep her children safe.
The armor that clanked through the halls of the Red Keep, it was something to behold. Ain’t nothing like the sound of metal on stone when battle’s near. And yet, there was something different about this armor. It wasn’t just made to protect; it was made to intimidate. It bore the deepest black hue, a sign of the Targaryens’ fire and blood. And when the dragons took to the skies, well, that was a sight that made even the bravest men tremble in their boots.
Now, as with most tales of fire and blood, this one’s got its twists and turns. You think you know the way things are going, but then, wham, fate gives you a right turn, and before you know it, everything’s changed. King Viserys, for example, he thought he had it all under control. But you see, after a decade of marriage, he didn’t see things the same way anymore. His union with Aemma Arryn, his cousin and queen, it came to an end. And from there, the realm was never quite the same.
The politics of the throne were tangled enough, but it’s the personal stuff that really stirred the pot. People desperate to avoid conflict, to escape the bloodshed that seemed to follow them like a shadow. But you can’t run from fate, no matter how fast you ride or how far you flee.
This fan fiction here, it ain’t gonna go the way you think. We’ve all heard the tales of Westeros—about the Stark kids, the Lannisters, the Targaryens—but this one’s got a new twist. You see, in this version, there’s no telling where the winds will blow. Every choice matters, every step could change everything. And maybe, just maybe, that child of Gael’s will turn the whole thing upside down. Or maybe the dragons will finally burn it all down. Who’s to say? That’s the beauty of fan fiction, after all.
So here’s to the stories that never made it to the history books, the ones that got lost in the flames or the whispers. Maybe this one’s just a tale spun by someone like me, but maybe, just maybe, it’ll be the one you remember when the fire burns out and the dragons finally take their leave.
