How Rhaenyra won the Dance of the Dragons

Disclaimer: I don't own A Song of Ice and Fire, it belongs to George R.R Martin. I would say I don't own Game of Thrones, but the show hasn't even mentioned the Dance, but, since I don't want to get sued, I don't own the show. It belongs to HBO.

A/N: Ok, here's a new story of the Dance of the Dragons. Yes, as you may have noticed, i'm making many Targaryen related fics. That's mainly because stuff like the Dance or the Blackfyre Rebellion are some of my favorite events in the world created by fiction's most notorious serial killer and unfortunately the Starks play a little and sometimes unexisting part on this events. Except for the Winter Wolves and the Hour of the Wolf, there is no Stark participation of the affairs of the Seven Kingdoms until the Rebellion. But, again, i'm digressing.

Start the fic!

"Go."

"No."

"Go with Lucerys, Daemon. And take Jace with you." Rhaenyra said.

"Why do you do this to me, Rhaenyra?" Daemon said, complaining.

"Just make sure that Lord Baratheon supports us." Rhaenyra said, exasperated.

"Why? You have the Vale, the North, the Riverlands and a good part of the Reach." Daemon asked.

"Daemon, if Baratheon doesn't support us, he's against us and if you don't recall, he has Lords Bar Emmon and Massey with him, that means Massey's Hook. With the Hook in our control, we could take King's Landing. You taking the Stepstones already won us an enemy, the Triarchy. With Baratheon on our side, we would control the Narrow Sea. We need the Gullet. The Sea Snake is blockading it but we need more control over the Narrow Sea." Rhaenyra explained.

"And why do I need to take Jacaerys with me?" Daemon questioned.

"Just do it." Rhaenyra was clearly losing her patience with Daemon.

"Isn't that what you said with Laenor?" Daemon said.

Rhaenyra shot him a murderous glare.

"Sorry, sorry, What if I just go with Luke? We need to maintain Dragonstone with as many dragons as we can." Daemon asked again.

"We outnumber Aegon in number and in dragons, I intend to defeat him quickly." Rhaenyra said, now istead of being angry at Daemon, she was angry at Aegon, Aemond and Alicent.

"If you recall, he has Vhagar and Sunfyre." Daemon said, pointing out that Aegon still had some of the most powerful dragons.

"We have Syrax, Caraxes, Seasmoke, Meleys, Vermithor, Silverwing, Arrax, Vermax, Tyraxes and Moondancer." Rhaenyra replied.

"Moondancer? Don't involve Baela in this. She is still a little girl. Also, many of the other dragons you mentioned, are currently untamed." Daemon said. He may have appeared too uncaring of certain matters, but Daemon still loved and cared for Rhaena, Baela, Aegon and Viserys. He didn't wanted his sons and daughters to get hurt, or worse, dying.

"Alright, but we still have the advantage." Rhaenyra said, noting Daemon's concern.

"If you insist, i'll go." Daemon said.

"Finally! Gods, my father was not wrong when he said you were the most stubborn human being in the world." Rhaenyra said, raising her hands to the sky which complemented her:

"Finally!"

"Don't make me regret my decision." Daemon said.

"If you do, I guess i'll just throw you in a black cell once I take King's Landing." Rhaenyra said. Daemon could not tell if she was japing or not.

"Please, Viserys threw me thrice in there, I already know the secret passages. I scared the crap out of him the second time." Daemon said, remembering something that had happened years ago.

"How?" Rhaenyra asked.

"Let's just say a passage goes to the king's bedroom and that I caught him with Alicent." Daemon said.

"Don't mention the name of the whore that is trying to steal my throne as we speak." Rhaenyra said in anger.

"Have you ever heard her screaming? I won't ever forget that." Daemon said.

Flashback to 111 AC

King's Landing

"Ummm... Uncomfortable." Daemon said after seeing Viserys and Alicent in bed.

Alicent screamed loudly.

"Daemon?! I thought i threw you in a black cell!" Viserys said loudly, like his wife, obviously surprised.

Viserys got off his bed and got a robe to cover himself.

"I was. I just got out. Please Alicent, no need to cover yourself." Daemon said.

"Wouldn't you like that?" Alicent said.

"Probably, but if I said yes, Viserys would kill me." Daemon said.

"If I recall it was putting your head in a pike above the Red Keep, your arms to the Triarchy, your torso in Dragonstone and your toes to Runestone. But Lady Arryn warned me that she would leave them to the crows if I sent some of you to the Vale." Viserys said.

"I hate that woman." Daemon said.

"Perhaps if you could try to actually do something with your marriage with Lady Rhea." Viserys said.

"I hate that woman even more." Daemon said.

"Could you just try?" Viserys said, exasperated.

"Mhmm... No." Daemon said.

"Did you even gave it a thought?" Viserys said.

"Viserys, it's Daemon, when does he ever think?" Alicent said.

"Alicent, do you mind? It is a brother-brother talk." Daemon said.

"Only if you stop looking at me that way." Alicent said, covering herself in the sheets after watching Daemon look at her chest.

"You know what? Join in, Alicent." Daemon said.

"I hate you." Alicent said.

"You are not the first to tell me that, and i am certain you will not be the last." Daemon said.

"No complains if i kill him, Alicent?" Viserys said.

"Not one. As a matter of fact i would like to help you." Alicent said.

"Like you could fight against me, Viserys." Daemon said.

"Damn it, he's got a point." Viserys said.

Back to 129 AC

Dragonstone

"So you were as exasperating back then as you are now, uncle?" Rhaenyra said.

"Exasperating? I am unspeakably handsome, clever and the best fighter that Westeros and Essos have ever known." Daemon said.

"Just go to Storm's End or i won't be able to tolerate you. I can only take so much of you a day." Rhaenyra said.

"Isn't that what you said to me during our bedding?" Daemon said.

"Go. Storm's End. Now." Rhaenyra said, barely managing to mantain herself calm with Daemon's exasperating behaviour.

"Alright, alright, just stay sane." Daemon said.

Daemon got out and started to search for Lucerys. He could not find him.

"Septa, where is Lucerys?" Daemon asked.

"Oh, Lucerys? He's gone. To Storm's End like his mother commanded him." the woman said.

"Oh fuck! How long ago?" Daemon yelled.

"First, language, Your Grace. Second, about five minutes." the septa said.

Daemon inmediately ran to where Caraxes was. He mounted him and instantly took off to Storm's End to find Lucerys. He doubted he could reach Lucerys. Caraxes was fast but Arrax was faster, and Luke always liked to go fast. If Arrax had an advantage of five minutes over Caraxes, and considering that Lucerys had gotten even more away from Dragonstone while he prepared Caraxes. Daemon hadn't even brought armour. The only thing he grabbed before, was Dark Sister. His grandsire had given him the sword that once belonged to Queen Visenya, Daemon never left without it. But he worried for Lucerys. The boy may be nothing to him, but Rhaenyra loved him, and he loved her. He had not helped her mental sanity by japing, if anything, he made it worse. He thought of forcing Caraxes to go faster, but should anything happen with Lord Baratheon, he needed a dragon able to fight. With Arrax and Caraxes, Storm's End would suffer the fate of Harrenhal should Lord Borros support Aegon. If Lucerys had left that long ago, he might be flying over Massey's Hook while he was only half-way throught the Gullet. He would arrive at Storm's End but should anything happen with Lucerys, Rhaenyra wouldn't ever forgive him. He had to protect the boy, if only for Rhaenyra's sake. Daemon could only think a few things in that moment.

Storm's End, Lucerys, Arrax, Caraxes, Rhaenyra.

Daemon hoped to reach Lucerys in time. He could only hope that Lord Baratheon would listen to Lucerys and give Rhaenyra his support. He could only think what could happen with Luke. Lord Baratheon might have installed scorpions and trebuchets to take down any dragon. Lord Baratheon might decide to kill Lucerys. Lord Borros might have already taken a choice to support Aegon. He could only hope to reach Lucerys and Arrax. But the Seven were who decided that. For once, Daemon Targaryen felt a slave to the gods.

Ok, first chapter. I've thought to do something like this before, but couldn't quite manage to do so. Ok, so did you like it? Did you hate it? Let me know in a review or through a PM. Ok, this is Shirou, and i'll see you next chapter.

See ya!
