             A Ballad of Suns and Dragons
            Chapter Five, House Targaryen
           _____________________________


Elia and Rhaegar had composed themselves from the tear that they had shed in the last viewing and now were speaking to Oberyn, Ahsra and Arthur about how beautiful the younger Targaryens looked along with what they thought Elarra would be like.

Now don't get them wrong Elia, Oberyn and even Ashara had not forgiven or Forgotten what Rhaegar and Arthur would do but they also haven't done it yet and hopefully wouldn't.

Robert himself couldn't believe how strong the Martell and Targaryen looks were, you had Rhaenys who looked Targaryen along with the eyes but who had the Martell hair color and tan skin meanwhile Aegon looked like a Martell but with The Valyrian coloring.

Brandon Stark - not to be confused with his nephew Brandon "Bran" Stark - wanted to know how and why the prince would runaway with Lyanna and also why Lya would follow him; However as he glances at Lyanna he thinks that she may just be that much of an idiot but that still leaves why the prince ran away with her.

Rickard Stark however couldn't believe that his daughter would be stupid enough to have a child that could start another Blackfyre Rebellion; he had not fought in the war of the nine penny kings for a child with his blood to start another.

The Screen turns on and while dark it lights up with the words.

House of Fire and Blood AMV

The screen then turns on as it shows a portrait of Aegon, Rhaenys, Viserys, Daenerys, Daeron and Elarra before the video then starts.

"Everyone says that Targaryen's are closer to god then to men." The voice of Rhaenys Martell Targaryen is heard saying as the screen shows Aegon and Rhaenys being crowned in the starry sept, Viserys on a ship next to Lucerys Velaryon Lord of the Tides, Daeron is seen wielding his sword in battle and Daenerys is shown on her throne in Meereen.

"Who is that?" Rhaenys Targaryen Velaryon asks as she see's the man who bares a resemblance to her own husband.

"Lord Lucerys Velaryon." Rhaegar states. He wasn't his biggest fan but he also remembers how the man could make his mother smile and even more rarely laugh, bright and happy.

Those from the dance couldn't help but glance at the descendant of House Velaryon and then Rhaenyra's children and look at the screen awkwardly.

Lucerys can't help but feel insecure as he hears the man's name; the man who shared the same name as him and yet unlike him the future Lucerys actually looked like a Velaryon.

When Aegon and Rhaenys are crowned in the Starry sept everyone couldn't help but remember the time of The Conquers and how they were crowned in the same place.

•••

Daeron fighting had Elia looking at the screen worriedly to which Rhaegar patted her hand.

"I know that Oberyn will have taught him and he is one of the strongest fighter's I know." Rhaegar told Elia to which she nods.

"I know I just.." Elia trails off as Rhaegar nods in understanding. They both turn to the screen with the thought - they will always worry for them - circling around them in agreement.

•••

When they all saw Daenerys seated on a throne they all glanced at those from the future.

"She freed the slaves from Meeren and became the Queen of Meeren." Sansa Stark told them all to which Cregan looked at her and when he saw the ice in her eyes he nodded in recognition of her strength to survive whatever caused that to appear in her eyes.

The rest however were in awe that House Targaryen would rule a part of Essos.

"But they say that because of our dragons." Her voice continues as it shows Aegon on a pitch black dragon with hints of red, Rhaenys on a red dragon with orange membranes, Daeron on a sapphire blue dragon, Viserys on a green dragon Rhaegal and Daenerys on a grey dragon Viserion.

Those from the Robert's Rebellion look at the screen in shock as they saw the future Targaryen's on the back of dragons.

Tywin Lannister looked at the screen with an unreadable face as he saw the creatures that helped conquer Westeros.

"Dragons come back?!?!" Robert Baratheon roars in shock and he wasn't only one as while those from the future knew about the dragons they would never imagine that they would be that big.

Those from the dance were shocked but for a totally different reason; they saw dragons all the time after all but they were shocked because of the dragon that the newest Aegon rode because for all of those old enough to remember him, that dragon looked like the miniature of the black Dread.

"What do you mean come back?!?" Rhaenyra however screams in shock as she looks at Robert.

She wasn't the only one as The rest of the dance looked at them with shocked and terrified looks at the thought of their dragons dying.

Daemon then looks at those from the future. "Explain."

Those from the future all trades glances as they didn't want to be the ones who told the rogue prince that the dragons that he and his family rode had died.

"Well they died out during the dance." Rhaegar told them as everyone waited for the explosion and they weren't to be disappointed.

"WHAT?!?" Those from

Rhaenys Targaryen Velaryon however had a thought that she needed answered though. "Who won the dance?"

That made house Targaryen freeze before they all glanced at each other and Aemond held Rhaena to his side as people glanced at the two of them.

"Aegon iii was made the child king after the dance with the princess Jaehaera as his queen to unite the two lines of their Linages." Rhaegar tells them to which made them all glance at each other in horror."However Aegon had a fear of dragons after seeing Rhaenyra be killed by one and let them die."

They all couldn't help but glance at each other as they realize what their fighting would truly cause.

Aegon ii however couldn't believe that Jaehaera would be made a Queen and be stuck in that role all because of him; he and Helaena hated that they were the heirs to their grandfathers ambitions and yet because of their family and them, their daughter would suffer the same fate.

Aegon, Rhaenys, Daeron, Daenerys and Viserys and Elarra are shown at a feast in HighGarden before Aegon stands up to speak to the nobles which you can tell they didn't expect as Mace Tyrell looks at the man nervously.

"We thank you all for your hospitality but we have been here for over a moon and we haven't gotten our answer and we will not be ambushed." Aegon tells them and to the horror of some nobles especially when they notice that some nobles are with him.

Oberyn grins as he see's the look on those Nobles faces; he was also proud of his future nephew as he was being calm and giving them a chance to change sides.

Daemon nodded in approval; much like Oberyn he was proud that his descendant gave them a chance to change side as it would give them an advantage if they did unlike what killing them would do but Daemon could see in his eyes that if they didn't Aegon xi would have no qualms about killing them.

Elia on the other hand was happy that he was being merciful as that wasn't something that Targaryen's are known for being.

The nobles being House Hightower and House Tarly. Two of the most powerful houses in the reach.

"The words of my house are not fickle." Aegon tells the gathered nobles to which they look at him in confusion.

When the blacks saw how one of the loyal houses was House Hightower they were shocked as they hadn't expected that.

When Aemond saw there looks he scoffed. "Why so shocked my mother bore Four children for the house of the dragon, as long as a Targaryen with Hightower blood exists or a Hightower with Targaryen blood exists then  House Hightower will remain loyal to the Iron Throne."

"We light the way with Fire and Blood." Helaena's light and airy voice echoes throughout the room.

Aegon grasped her hand in his as Alicent and Otto nodded their heads in agreement.

The Blacks glanced at each other as they thought about what was just said and for all that they were enemies they had to admire the familial loyalty; they also finally realized why Daeron the Daring threw wine on the face of Hugh when he said that Daeron should become King, it was a loyalty to Aegon.

•••

Rhaenys Targaryen Velaryon nodded in agreement with the Future king; their houses word were a warning to other but most importantly themselves, the members of house Targaryen and the destruction that they could cause if let loose to both the realm and each other.

"So unless you would like another field of Fire." Aegon smile genially. "And for House Tyrell to go the way of the Gardner kings then I would change back to the Targaryen loyalist that you were during the rebellion."

Everyone in the room barring his family and a pale haired, golden eyed man looks at him in horror that he would do that.

The Future Starks along with those from Robert's Rebellion besides The Martel's, Rhaegar, The Two Dayne, Rhaegar's Kingsguard, Tywin Lannister and Rickard Stark had all looked at the screen in horror before they glanced around and saw they were the only ones.

"Why aren't you horrified as well?" Sansa Stark asks those mentioned from the rebellion, not bothering to ask those from the dance as they would end up causing that same horror.

"Why should I?" Elia Martell asks with a stoic face.

The Rebellion Starks and The future Starks all looked at her. "Because he just threatened to create a second field of Fire!"

"And they were going to ambush them, they were going to harm my children and so I have no pity for any of them." Elia smiled at them all coldly as they all looked at her horrified.

Arya Stark couldn't believe that this was the kind and gentle princess that her father used to tell Sansa about when they were children.

Sansa however could see that the princess didn't like it but would always put her children first before anyone else.

"What about you?" Brandon Stark asked his father.

"I fought in the war of the nine penny kings." Tywin told them all as Rickard pointed at him and nodded in agreement.

"That!" The Wolf Lord told them all to which they all looked away.

Those from the dance couldn't help but wonder what this war of nine penny kings was about as it seems pretty important.

•••

When the pale haired and golden eyed man first appeared on screen Elia let out a gasp. "Baelor!"

When he heard that Rhaegar held Elia close to him.

"You call him Baelor?" Rhaegar looks at her with a frown.

"Well yes, what else would I call him?" Elia asks him as she gives a frown as well.

"How about his title, Ser Baelor or Lord Baelor or even Lord Hightower!" Rhaegar raises his voice to which earns him an evil eyed look from Oberyn.

Rhaegar knows that it's wrong to be upset with Elia for calling the Hightower heir by his name; however he couldn't help but wonder if she would've been happier with Baelor unlike with him, her future self had to deal with him crowning a girl in front of the entire realm, and then had to deal with him leaving her and their children for two years apathetically, and becoming more weary while trapped with his father in kingslanding.

However those from the dance let out a gasp as they heard what Rhaegar said.

"Hightower?" Alicent asked those from the future hopefully, she had hoped that her house would survive but didn't hold out hope but this.. this could change everything.

"Yes Ser Baelor Hightower or Baelor Brightsmile is the heir to the Hightower and a descendant of Ser Daeron the Daring." Elia tells those from the dance which makes Daeron look at the screen curiously, he had never thought about children so it was weird that to know that this would be his descendant.

Everyone could see how Ser Baelor was Prince Daeron's descendant as he looked a lot like him even though so many years had passed, they shared the same golden eyes and the only difference was that Baelors hair wasn't as pure white but instead a pale white-blonde.

Rhaenyra found it hard to swallow as those were Alicent's eyes and as Rhaenyra looked at her former friends youngest child she realized that he was the only one who inherited his mothers eyes, eyes that she had once adored.

Elia hesitated before she continues. "He is also the descendant of the Lady Rhaena."

Everyone from the dance looks at her in surprise but they aren't shocked to know that a child or grandchild of hers and Aemond's had married Daeron's child or grandchild , yet Daemon frowns as he realizes that she didn't say Rhaena and Aemond, just Rhaena.

"Lady Olenna you have made remarks at my beloved Rhaenys all throughout the feast and much like my father I don't tolerate disrespect to those I love." Aegon glared at the old Lady in the blue wimple.

Margaery looks fearful for her beloved lady  grandmother. She knew that her family had thought that she would be able to marry the dragon king since they hadn't heard rumors that he was married and when they heard that he had married his sister..well they thought that she could seduce him but this king of Fire was no Joffrey Baratheon, he was much better.

"But while I have a dragon I am not like my grandsire who would burn anyone for the slightest disrespect." Aegon smiles warmly but the smart ones could see the threat in his eyes, after all just because he wouldn't did not mean that he couldn't do it.

Elia and Rhaegar looked at him with a proud smile as they heard his speech; they were glad that he was strong but merciful, they had dreamed about what he would be like, their little heir and yet again they find that he is more than they could have ever dreamed.

"A dragon that uses restraint?" Tywin asks. "It's a miracle.

Rhaena loved her family but she had to agree the future Lion lord; her family has not a single clue of the meaning of restraint, just look at the riverlands that Aemond burned in his rage and his and her fathers battle above the gods eye.

"So just as Lord Tarly and Lord Hightower have done we will accept oaths of fealty." Rhaenys Targaryen says next to her husband and then that's when the pale haired, Golden eyed man steps up.

Those from the dance leaned forward curiously. They were wondering what this Hightower would be like.

Elia gave a bright smile that shone as bright as the sun; she may not have married him but Baelor had stayed a friend ever since that visit to Oldtown and the stay in the Hightower, his sisters had became like ones for her and Lord Leyton had looked after her as if she wasn't one of his own children.

"I have already made my oath once but I will do so again, publicly." The man says before he kneels down before the Dragon King and The Sun Queen along with the Royal Prince's and Princesses.

"I, Ser Baelor Hightower, Heir of Old town and Defender of the Citadel pledge my loyalty to King Aegon xi of his name and The Queen Rhaenys iii of her name and to the House of the dragons, House Targaryen in the place of my father Lord Leyton Hightower." The man, Baelor, says as he kneels before the royal family on the dais.

The Hightowers and Hightower-Targaryen's all looked at the screen proudly.

The Black's had never realized just how close house Hightower was to the faith and the citadel; they weren't the only ones as the rest of the room also looked at them in realization.

Everyone in fact was realizing how close to the faith and the citadel House Hightower actually was.

Rhaenys and Viserys looks at him with a look of recognition in their eyes while Aegon looks at him in hidden confusion, however Daeron and Daenerys just look at him in acceptance of his oath.

"They remember him." Elia looks at the future version of Rhaenys and Viserys and knows it as she sees the look of recognition in their eyes.

Ser Gerold Hightower gave a small smile as he saw that; his nephew had often traveled to kings landing and while he often worried especially when he saw the admiration in his eyes as he looked at the crown princess, Gerold also knew that his nephew had given up on having her live but still wanted to be her friend and Gerold could understand that, Princess Elia Martell had a warmth to that drew people in like moths to a flame, She was the sun in splendor.

Rhaenys speaks up then. "Rise, Ser Baelor."

The man does as his queen commands and roses to look at them. "I also would ask of something as well."

"If it can be done we will do our best." The young king smiles at him warmly to which Baelor looks at him with a flash of shock in his eyes before it disappears.

Those from the rebellion also looked at the screen in shock; the boy looked just like his mother as he smiled, a warm thing with eyes that shone with emotion.

Rhaegar's face twisted up as he saw his son smile, he marveled at the boy with the same warm smile as Elia.

"I have twin sons and the younger of the two of them, Ser Elias Hightower, has expressed an interest in the kings guard." Ser Baelor says as a young man with the same golden eyes but red-brown hair comes to stand next to him.

People gasped as they glanced between the boy and Alicent Hightower; the boy looked like the male version of her.

Those from the dance blanched as they all  glanced between the two of them.

The green children were shocked to see a boy who looked so much like their mother; they couldn't help but wonder if their mother would've been happy if one of them looked just like the boy, just like her.

The blacks however couldn't believe that a boy so far into the future looked so much like the Hightower queen and so much like prince Aegon.

•••

Gerold Hightower had looked at the boy in awe before he heard his name then he turned to look at the princess; his face went blank  and his eyebrows drew together as he knew that he wasn't the only one who saw the similarities between his great-nephew's name and the crown princess's.

He was also right as The dornish squad and Rhaegar looked between Elia who had a breathless smile and the young man on screen. They knew that Baelor cared about Elia but to name a son after her showed that he cares about her more than they thought.

After Ser Baelor is finished the young man bows to the royal family.

"Is that true, Ser..Elias?" A slight hesitation can be heard as Rhaenys says his name.

Everyone looked at the screen in confusion at Rhaenys; the
