Dragons Rage

Black cells

Day 2

"I want Aemond Targaryen." Daemion said, and a guard punched him in his face.

The young Velaryon prince was shackled and beaten by 3 guards.

"Submit!" The guard yelled as he punched Daemion again.

"I want Aemond Targaryen." Daemion said again, and he punched Daemion in his face.

"Submit!" The second guard yelled.

"I... want... want Aemond Ta... Targaryen." With a final punch, Daemion fell to the ground.

"Fucking bastard!" The third knight kicked Daemion in his face, knocking the young prince out.

Daemion and Heleanas chambers

"I want my papa!" Daenerys yelled. She has been throwing her toys around in a fit of rage.

"Shhh. Please, my darling." Heleana begged as he held Maella, and Zara held Maelor.

"No! I want papa!" Daenerys kept yelling.

Just then, Alicent entered the room.

"My sweet girl." Alicent walked to Daenerys.

"Where's papa?!" Daenerys yelled.

"I promise you'll see him soon. Please be calm. Jaehaerys and Jaehaera are looking for you." Alicent nodded at her handmaiden and she took Daenerys out of her room. The queen mother saw Heleana try to walk to Daenerys, but Alicent stood in front of her. "You need sleep. I promise I won't hurt her."

Heleana walked to her daughter. "I promise we'll see you father. I love you."

Daenerys walked out with Alicents handmaiden. Heleana looked at Zara and she had another handmaiden take Maella, while Zara walked out of the room with Maelor.

"Heleana-" Alicent tried to speak, but was interrupted by her daughter.

"Where is my husband?" Heleana asked.

"In the cells." Alicent answered. "We are trying to submit him to bend the knee to Aegon."

"Y... you're torturing him?" Heleana asked.

"I don't wish to have him killed. With him at our side, we can end a war before it begins with Rhaenyra bending the knee." Alicent said.

"Daemion won't bend the knee now." Heleana said. "Not after Luke."

"Your brother made an error, and I can't change that, but if you convince Daemion to send word to Rhaenyra-" Alicent was interrupted again.

"No. There's no going back now. Nothing I do will change what's about to happen." Heleana said. "The pigs will squeal when they hear how the boar suffered. The Red Keep will be painted. The wrath of a dragon will be unleashed. A blood eagle flying below the storm."

"What do you mean?" Alicent asked not understanding what her daughter was talking about.

"You lost the second you gave birth to us." Heleana said and turned away from her mother.

Daenerys chambers

"Great granddaughter." Otto greeted as he entered the room.

"Where's papa?" Daenerys asked.

"We have to help your father see things differently." Otto said.

"Differently?" Daenerys inquired.

Otto nodded. "I fear you are the only one who can help us, little one. Do you wish to help your father?" The three year old eagerly nodded. "Good. I will talk to him and arrange for you to see him."

"My papa is is going to kill you." Daenerys said. Otto curiously looked at the girl and noticed tha she had a silver strand of hair mixed with her dark hair.

The Hand of the King looked at Zara. "Make sure the princess attends her lessons." Otto then left the chambers.

Day 3

Black cells

Daemion had his daily beatings and after, Grandmaester Orwyle was called in to see to Daemions stab wound he had received two days ago.

"It's not deep, my prince. It should heal within the next few days." Orwyle said, but Daemion didn't respond. He didn't even feel pain as the Grandmaester applied ointment on the rest of his wounds. He looked at the guards. "What's wrong with him?"

"I don't know, Grandmaester. He been like that since he was told about his bastard brothers death." The first guard said.

Ser Criston and Otto watched as Daemion was patched up. He had a scar on his chest, shoulder and forearm. They could tell that the knights assigned to make Daemion submit enjoyed torturing the Velaryon prince.

"From here on focus on drowning him. No more stabbing." Otto ordered.

"Yes, Lord Hand." The first knight said and the other two knights bowed their heads.

"My prince?" Otto called out to Daemion, but he didn't respond. "Daemion?" He still didn't respond. "Ser Criston give this to him. Otto handed Daemions necklace to Ser Criston."

Ser Criston stepped forward and Grandmaester Orwyle moved out of the way. The three knights had their hands on their swords in case Daemion tried something. Ser Criston sadly looked at his son and placed the necklace around his neck.

"Lord Hand, with your permission, I'd like a word in private with Prince Daemion." Ser Criston said.

"Of course, Lord commander." Otto left the cells with Grandmaester Orwyle and the three knights.

Ser Criston stood across from where Daemion was sitting. "I'm sorry about Ser Harrold, and I'm sorry about Lucerys." Daemion said nothing. "When you were 11 years old, I had my suspicions that you could be my son. It's not easy to hide Dornish features. I'm surprised that many still believe that you are Harwin Strongs son." Daemion still said nothing. "Daemion please. Say something. Tell me what you want and I will do it. I'll get your family out of King's Landing myself, just please speak to me."

Daemion looked up as if he had snapped out of a trance. He glared at his father. "I want Aemond Targaryen."

"Daemion-" Ser Criston was interrupted by his son.

"Give me your surrogate son, or get out." Daemion spat.

Criston Cole looked at Daemion. Even though he wanted to make up for everything that's happened between him and Daemion, he still cared for Alicent and her children.

"I'm sorry." Ser Criston turned his back on Daemion and left the cells. Seconds later, the knights entered the cells again and tortured Daemion.

Day 4

The following morning, Daemion groaned as he got up. He remembered how he was beaten and drowned lastnight. He didn't know how much more he could take of this.

"Why are you so stubborn?" Daemion looked to his left and saw Lucerys.

"Luke." Daemion acknowledged.

"Good morrow, brother." Luke had a warm smile on his face.

"Where were you lastnight?" Daemion asked.

"You needed your rest to gather your strength for when you escape." Luke said.

"I have no intention of escaping. I just want Aemond." Daemion groaned.

"And you believe that the Greens will just hand him over to you?" Luke asked. "You're many things, brother, but you're not an idiot. Your family needs you. Our mother and brothers need you."

"Why are you haunting me?" Daemion asked.

"Two reasons. The first is simple. Your mind is trying to ignore the pain that you're feeling as those knights torture you, and the second... you blame yourself for my death." Luke said.

Daemion started tearing up. "I should've stayed on Dragonstone with you, mother and our brothers. You'd still be alive."

"You don't know that." Luke said.

"You'd be alive!" Daemion snapped.

"And you might be dead instead." Luke said. He then sat next to Daemion. "That's your secret. You're not afraid of dying. You're afraid that the ones you love die before you."

"I failed you, Luke." Daemion said.

Luke smiled. "Do you remember when we stole Dark Sister while Daemon was asleep." Daemion nodded. "You took all the blame because you fight for others who can't fight for themselves. You have the courage to do what needs to be done."

"What are you trying to say?" Daemion asked.

"The only way for you to keep fighting is to accept what you can't change." Luke said. "I am dead, but your wife. Your daughter. Our mother and our brothers live. Fight for the ones who live."

Just then Daemion heard banging on the cell bar.

"Ready to submit boy?" The first knight asked.

Daemion looked to his left and saw that Luke was gone. He gave into his stubbornness.

"I want Aemond Targaryen." Daemion said and the knights smirked almost as if they were excited to torture Daemion again."

Daemion and Heleanas chambers

After a small council meeting, the council had a plan to get Lynora to convince Heleana to get Daemion to submit.

"What are you making?" Lynora asked as she Heleana sowing something.

"It's for Jaehaerys." Heleana said.

"That's very thoughtful of you. Have already made one for Jaehaera?" Lynora asked.

"No. She won't need it." Heleana said.

"Oh..." Lynora didn't know what her friend meant and chose to stay on the task.

"I was thinking that we should go see Daemion. Perhaps it will lift his spirits knowing that you're well looked after." Lynora suggested.

"I can't leave this room yet." Heleana continued her sewing.

Just then Aegon and Aemond burst through the doors.

"Sister." Aegon greeted.

"Your grace." Heleana greeted back.

"The crown has need of your service." Aemond said. "I need you to fly with us to Dragonstone."

"I said I could handle this." Lynora said.

"Well, you failed." Aegon spat. "We're taking over now. Rhaenyras rebellion will grow. We must respond in kind."

"I won't burn anyone." Heleana said.

"We weren't asking." Aegon grabbed Heleana by her wrist. "Our sister the cunt that breeds bastards has rebelled and we will lay waste to her and her allies."

"No!" Lynora intervened. "Stop Aegon! You're hurting her!" She then looked at Aemond. "By order of your queen, I command you to help!" Aemond easily pulled Aegon off.

"You dare!" Aegon yelled at his wife.

"Yes, I dare. Leave this chambers at once!" Lynora spat.

"Make me." Aegon challenged.

"Brother. Aemond spoke up. "Let me try with our sister. I'll see you shortly." Aegon mumbled as he left the room.

"Thank you, Aemond." Lynora said.

Aemond looked at Lynora from head to toe. "You're welcome, your grace. If I might have a word with my sister."

"Of course." Lynora hugged Heleana and left the room.

"Sister. We share the same blood." Aemond said. "I know that you don't wish any harm on people, but this must be done." Just then Aegon entered the room again. "Come with Aegon and I to Dragonstone. Let us lay waste to Daemon, Rhaenyra and their followers. Let us show them how we answer rebellion."

"And if I refuse... will you kill me as you did Lucerys?" Heleana asked.

"It was an accident." Aemond said.

"Yes, but after you were happy that you killed him." Heleana said.

"That is a lie." Aemond said.

"I saw you. In a brothel celebrating that you killed your nephew." You said "I enjoyed kinslaying"." Heleana said.

"What you say is treason, sister." Aemond said.

Heleana looked at Aegon. "Your reign won't last, brother. I saw you fall and burn." She then looked at Aemond. "I only saw darkness with you, and after I saw you beg."

"Beg for what?" Aemond asked.

"Death." Heleana said.

Aegon looked at Aemond and then at Heleana. "We could have you killed." The King whispered.

"It wouldn't change anything." Heleana said. "Now leave me. I have to see my children."

Both Aegon and Aemond stormed out of their sisters room, shaken by what their sister said.

Black cells

Day 5

Daemion was being drowned in water. He wasn't fighting back and when the guards saw this, they placed bets to see how long Daemion could hold his breath under water.

"Thirty counts! Pay up!" The first knight yelled.

"Wait. Let's see if he can go for forty-five." The second knight said and he pushed Daemions head back in the water. "Haha forty-five. I win!"

The third knight stepped forward. "I want to see of he can go longer." Without warning he pushed Daemion head back into the water. "Fifty counts in." Daemions body started moving erratically.

"You're killing him! We need him alive." The first knight said. "Stop!"

"He's at seventy three counts. Let's see if I can make a hundred." The knight had a sadistic grin.

Suddenly Daemion stopped struggling and the knight was pushed off.

"I said stop!" The first knight yelled. He looked at Daemion who wasn't moving. His head was still in the water. "Fuck!" He looked at the third knight. "We were told not to kill him! How are we going to explain this to the king?!"

"It's not my fault that he couldn't hold his breath." The third knight argued. "Besides no one will care about a dead bastard. Regardless, I won. One hundred and three counts."

"Fucking cunt." The second knight laughed. "You could've stopped at eighty."

"Yes I could've, but I didn't." The third knight confidently smirked.

The first knight looked at Daemion. "Ah fuck this boy. He deserves to die just like his bastard brother."

While the knights were celebrating Daemions death, Daemions head was still in the water, and his eyes were closed. Daemion looked at his dead body in the water.

"Is this how you wish for it to end?" Luke asked.

"There's no point in fighting on. I've lost." Daemion told Luke. "Dying is all I can hope for."

"I always thought that you were the smart one." Luke said. "What about your child? Your wife?"

"They'll be safe here. They're with their family." Daemion said.

"You still can't see it?" Luke asked. "They'll never be safe as long as Aegon is king and Aemond still lives. You told Heleana that you will live for her, and now you have Daenerys as well, brother."

"But I don't have you." Daemion started tearing up.

Luke put his hand on Daemions shoulder. "You never needed me. You never needed anyone... but everyone needs you. They need you to be something more than the bastard son of queen Rhaenyra Targaryen. People died so that you can live because they knew that you can right the wrongs of the realm."

"How?" Daemion asked.

"By showing them who you truly are." Luke said. "Make it right, brother. Unleash your wrath, and when it's truly your time, I'll be here."

Back in the water, Daemion Velaryon opened his eyes and slowly lifted his head. He saw that his cell doors were open and the second knight was outside with his back turned to Daemion.

With nothing, but rage in his heart, Daemion walked to the knight, when he turned Daemion kicked him in his chest. He then grabbed the knights sword and stabbed him through his face, killing him.

The second knight charged at Daemion, but the Velaryon prince chopped his hand off, and stabbed him through his leg. The third knight tried to charge at Daemion, but Daemion quickly grabbed a lit brazier and burned the third knights face.

Daemion turned to the first knight who tried to crawl away. Daemion saw the Iron rod that he was beaten with for the last 5 days and took it. He them walked to the knight.

"Please... please..." The first knight begged. "I only work for the greens. They forced me-" The words of the first knight was ended when Daemion beat him with the Iron rod delivering eight strikes to his head. Daemion Velaryons face and chest was painted in the blood of the first knight.

Red Keep

Twenty Knights were patrolling around the  Red Keep, but what they didn't know is the amount of danger they were truly in.

Daemion arrived in his and Heleanas room and then weren't there.

"Heleana?! Daenerys?!" Daemion called out, but there was no answer. Daemion left the room and a knight spotted him.

"You!" The knight yelled and without hesitation Daemion charged at him and stabbed him through his chest, killing him.

Daemion saw two knights and snuck up on them. The first one was stabbed through his mouth and the second was decapitated. As he was finished with the two knights four more appeared. Daemion threw the dagger and one and charged at the three. He stabbed one in his leg, the other up his chin and the last one up his cock.

Daemion walked to the small council chambers knowing that they might know where his wife and daughter will be, but he had to go through thirteen knights.

Small council chambers

"Vhagar is needed here to deter Rhaenyra in retribution for the death of her son." Alicent said as she looked at her son, Aemond.

"Errors were made in the hours following king Viserys' death. We mustn't compound them." Otto said to Alicent. Otto then looked at Aegon. "You've already demonstrated your might, your grace. We must now favor patience and restraint. I sent ravens by the hour. Many will join your side."

"What of Daemion?" Alicent asked. "He's been asking for Aemonds head since his brothers death."

"Daemion serves a good hostage to keep Rhaenyra at bay for now." Aemond spoke up. "Perhaps I should pay him a visit."

"You cannot put yourself at risk, my prince. Daemion is... unstable." Ser Criston said. "It would be best if you stay far away from him."

Just then the council members heard noises. Men begging for their lives and the sounds of someone being stabbed. The doors were pushed open by a dead knight and a shirtless and unarmed Daemion Velaryon entered the small council chambers and Otto instantly stood up.

"Save your strength, old man." Daemion smirked. He then looked at Ser Criston. "You as well, oathbreaker. Killing me is the most idiotic thing you can do."

"H... how did you e... escape?" Alicent stammered.

"A birds nest is more guarded." Daemion said. He then walked to a still standing Otto and touched his coat.

"What are you doing?" Otto asked.

"I like your coat." Daemion said. He started removing Ottos coat and the hand of the king was stood frightened to protest. He allowed Daemion to remove his coat. "Perfect fit." Daemion then walked to Aegon and playfully managed his uncles shoulders. "I have no intention of killing any of you... yet. I only want the location of my wife and daughter."

Aegon eyes widened. He had told Daemion that Maelor and Maella were dead. The young king had no idea what his nephew would do if he found out that they were alive.

"How do we know that you won't kill us anyway?" Aemond asked.

"You dont, but I just killed 20 of your household guards to ask one question. Imagine what I can do when I'm actually in the mood." Daemion turned to face Ser Criston, and smirked at his father. "I still don't know how people don't see it." He then walked past Ser Criston and stood behind Aemond.

"You should be back in your cell." Ser Criston unsheathed his sword and pointed it at Daemion ready to protect Aemond and everyone in the small council chambers.

"Enough posturing." Daemion said. "It's simple take me to my family or kill Aemond." Ser Criston scoffed. "You see, all of you were so concerned to listen to me, that you didn't even see the movement of my hands." Daemion revealed Aegons catspaw dagger and immediately held it at Aemonds throat. Ser Criston tried to charge. "I wouldn't, but if you think that you can close the space between us before I open his throat... you're welcome to try." Daemion pressed the blade at Aemonds throat and blood trickled down his neck.

"Stop!" Otto yelled.

Daemion smirked. "Now that we're getting somewhere, I want to see my family or I will kill him."
