Five Years Later

Aegon Watched As Aemon Rode Away In A Carriage To Be Fostered By Lord Stannis Baratheon Who Had Sent His Own Son To Be Fostered By Aegon In Exchange, A Boy Of Six Years Named Orys. In The Last Five Years Margaery Had Given Him Two More Son’s, Twins Named Aegor and Maekar, While Sansa Had Given Him A Daughter Named Rhaenora. Like His Wives Aegon’s Paramours Had Given Him Several Children. Alys Karstark Bore Him A Daughter Named Laena, While Dacey Gave Him A Son Named Eckard, As For Wylla, She Had Given Aegon Twins, A Boy Named Torrhen and A Girl Named Aelys. His Northern Bastards Were Legitimized As The Founding Members Of House Winters, With The House Words Fire From Ice. For Their Sigil, A White Dragon With Two Heads. This Sat In The Centre, While A Chain Mimicking That On The Umbers Banners, But More In Line With House Hoare’s Bound The Sigils Of Houses Karstark, Manderly, Mormont, and Targaryen In The Corners. As For The Others Taena Had To Return To Longtable After Her Husband, Lord Orton Died From A Stroke Caused From Overeating So Much So Often, Both To Rule Until Her Son Returned From His Tenure As Eddard Stark’s Page and To Distance Herself From Margaery, Having Quarreled With Each Other For Some Reason Or Another.

As Far As Tyene and Nymeria Went They Had, In Addition To Seducing Myria Jordayne With Tales Of Aegon’s Sexual Prowess, Born Him A Son Each, Boys Named Lewyn and Barristan. Aegon Had Also Grown The Royal Portfolio, Through No Small Amount Of Support From The Bank Of Dragons. The Small Council and The Dragons Had Also Changed Significantly, Tywin Had Stepped Down From His Post and Resumed His Position As Lord Of Casterly Rock and Warden Of The West.

Likewise, Tyrion Had Also Stepped Down, In Order To Wed Allyria Dayne, One Of Ser Arthur’s Siblings, After His Father Threatened To Close Down Every Whorehouse In The City.

Replacing Him Was Easy Enough, Aegon Had Become Impressed By Roose Bolton’s Guile, Intellect, and Ruthlessness and Very Nearly Named Him Master Of Coin, Before Choosing Instead To Raise Him To Hand Of The King. In Roose’s Place Aegon Named His Cousin Quentyn To The Role Of Master Of Coin. Aegon Named Ser Kevan Lannister To The Small Council As The First Master Of War. As Master Of War, Ser Kevan Would Lead The Royal Armies, Determine Their Composition, Decide Upon Who Would Outfit Them, and With What.

As Far As A Master Of Laws Went, Aegon Had Raised His Brother Jaehaerys To The Role, and For Three Long Years Had Done Well, Before Stepping Down To Settle North With His Own Children, The Twins Val Had Born Him, A Boy Named Rhaegon and A Girl Named Daena. Aegon Had Thus Raised Lord Yohn Royce To The Seat. Aside From Aegon and Jaehaerys, Rhaenys Had Found Herself A Husband Too! Or Rather Aegon Had Found One For Her, Aegon Made Her Choose Between Robin Arryn and Edmure Tully, and Offered His Former Lover Incentives To Decide Quickly and Wisely. Smarter Than She’s Given Credit For, Rhaenys Chose The Arryn Brat, Knowing She Could Manipulate Him To Her Own Ends and Do So Far More Easily With The Boy Than His Uncle Edmure. Personally, Aegon Didn’t Care Who His Sister Married, So Long As He Brought An Army and Ample Prestige To The Table.

Aegon’s Realm Had Prospered, But It Had Also Suffered, A Number Of Great Rocks Had Fallen From The Heavens, and Caused Devastation, and Though Unfortunate, Aegon Immediately Began To Gather These Items and Charged The Finest Smiths To Forge Great Weapons From The Strange Metals. Daggers, Spears, Axes, Swords Both Short and Long Or Great and Bastard, Even Those Hookblade’s Of The Dothraki, But The True Weapon Created Was The Long-Curved Blade Aegon Had Dubbed The Dragonblade. Resembling A Great Axe In Length, But With A Devious Curve and Lethal Edge, The Blade Had Become Aegon’s Favored Weapon. Aegon Had Named Each Weapon To Distinguish It From The Others, and Dawn As Well. The Most Notable Weapon’s Named Were Called Harvester, Widow’s Wail, Ashbringer, and The Mountain-Slayer.

These Weapons Were Created For A Specific Purpose To be Wielded By The Swordsmen In Service To The Royal Family Outside Of The Kingsguard. The Kingsglaive As They Were Called Were Charged With The Protection and Preservation Of All Immediate Members Of The Royal Family Outside Of The King and The Crown Prince, They Wore Cloaks Of Vibrant Indigo and A Crimson Red, Their Sigil A Purple Dragon With Five Heads. The Two Extra Heads Represented Themselves As The Two Guards Of The Targaryen Family, The Kingsguard and The Kingsglaive. Aegon Personally Encouraged Rivalry Amongst Them, Hoping It Would Led To An Increase In Efficiency and Foster Mutual Respect, But Whenever Arrogance Took Root, It Was Excised Without Reservation. The Head Of The Glaive Was The Bastard Artyr Stone, Jon Arryn's Bastard Son From Before Lysa Tully Spread Her Legs For The Lord Of The Eyrie On Their Wedding Night. Artyr Had Carved Himself A Pretty Reputation As A Top Essos Mercenary Leader, Commanding The Stone Falcons, A Company Smaller Than The Golden Company, Stormcrows, and Second Sons, But Fairly Well Reputed Due To Taking On The Contracts No Other Would. Revan Legitimised Artyr and Knighted Him, Before Handing Him The Meteorite Glaives That Would Signify Leadership Of The Kingsglaive.

Unlike Valyrian Swords, The Weapons Of The Glaive's Elite Would Be Passed Down From User To User, Instead Of Father To Son. To This End, Each Man Was Required By Oath To Train A Successor, Artyr Chose Sandor Clegane As His Successor, A Controversial Choice, But Aegon Accepted It After Sandor's Brother Turned Bandit and Began A Career As A Brigand. Aegon Would Weep For Sandor's Future Wife, and Had To Find The Hound A Wife He Wouldn't Accidentally Break During The Bedding Ceremony, The Reason He Had To Find One At All Was Because Aegon Had Been Made To Agree To This As Part Of Clegane's Membership In The Glaive. The Then-Current Prospects Were Yara Greyjoy, Dacey's Fat Sister, and Lollys Stokeworth. Aegon Had Been Negotiating With House Stokeworth To Wed The Chatterbeak Lollys To Sandor, Who Was By No Means Pleased To Have The Girl As His Intended Bride, and Aegon Had To Change His Plans After Lollys Became Terrified Of Sandor When Her Sister Suggested The Hound Might Break Her In Like A Dog. So That Was How Miranda Royce and Sandor Clegane Got Wed, and How Aegon Began To Punish The Stokeworths For That Cock-Up From Lollys Sister's Machinations.

The Girl Was A Walking Calamity, She Seemed To Think That Because The King Had Tried To Arrange Her Marriage, That She (Lollys), and By Extension House Stokeworth Were Far More Important Than They Actually Were. She Actually Had The Nerve To Call Aegon By Name Without Honorifics, and Now Aegon Wasn't Big On Formalities, But This Girl Was Real Pain, She Didn't Even Get Him Hard, Just Soft. So Aegon Did What He Did, He Raised Their Taxes By Ten Percent, Limited Their Courtly Presence and Had Varys Subvert Any Attempts At Matchmaking, and Sabotaged Their Trade Situation Once A Month. But Aegon Was Becoming Stuck There, So He Decided To Move On.

Aegon's Relationships, His Non-Romantic and Sexual Ones That is, Were Quite Good, He Had Taken To His Children Like A Flame To Wildfire, He Indulged Them Their Games, But Would Quickly Dispel Any Negative Traits As Soon As They Appeared, and His Boy Aemon Was His Pride and Joy, He Would Reign As King Aemon, First Of His Name, If The Lord Of Light Smiled Upon Him. Despite Being Barely Five, Aemon Was Showing A Proficiency For Combat, His Favored Toy A Wooden Sword, But He Also Showed Scholarly Promise, and Aegon Had Decided That After His Tenure As Stannis's Page Was Over, He Would Send His Boy To Study At The Citadel As A Novice For Two Years, Just As His Father Had Done With Aegon Himself. Once That Had Been Completed, Aemon Was To Squire For Somebody, and Aegon Had Picked Out Either Jamie Lannister, Ser Garth, Or Artyr Arryn, He Wasn't Set On Who Yet, But Kept An Eye On All Three. Aegon Had Also Taken To Encouraging Aegor and Maekar In Their Own Goals, Aegor Vowed To Become His Half-Brother's Kingsguard Lord Commander, While Maekar Declared He Would Serve As Hand Of The King. As Far As Revan's Daughters Went, Cassandra and Rhaenyra Had Been Fostered At Riverrun and The Rock Respectively, and Aegon Himself Paid Them Frequent Visits, Princess Visenya Had Become Visenya Blacksun, The Lady Head Of House Blacksun, Their Sigil A Black Sun Over A White Burning Field and Their Words Blackest Sun, Brightest Moon, The Family In Charge Of The Rebuilt Summerhall. Likewise House Winter Was Given Command Over Moat Callin.

In Regards To Daereon, Aegon Spent Time With Him Too, He Had Sent His Bastard Son To The Citadel, Hoping His Boy Would Become A Maester, But Daereon Had Quickly Grown Tired Of The Constant Rules, and Left After Forging Only Three Links, An Accomplishment, Given His Extremely Young Age. Daereon Instead Opted To Join The Glaive When He Was Old Enough and Began Training Towards That End. Aegon Was Proud Of His Children, and Felt At Peace Knowing They Had Dreams They Were Actively Pursuing. Aegon Had Made The Decision Two Years Ago To Have No More Children By Sansa, Each Birth Was Increasingly Difficult, and He Failed To See The Increasing Levels Of Pain She Endured As Worth It. Lady Catelyn Had Expressed Gratitude That Aegon Was Refraining From Indulging His Passions With Sansa On Multiple Occasions, Having Given Lord Eddard Five Children. Whatever Happened, Aegon Knew He Could Survive With His Children If The Worst Came To Pass............
