                    Visenya Velaryon had grown into quite an inspiring girl. She was incredibly smart for her age, having read every book in the library. Visenya was respectful to everybody she had ever met.

Visenya's one goal was to make her mother proud. She was Rhaenyra's heir, she had duties to fulfil.

But, one thing she was upset about, was the fact that she did not have a dragon. Her dragon egg had not hatched, and she's was loosing faith every day.

But her mother told her one day she would get a dragon, she just had to be patient. And Visenya listened.

Visenya laid on her back, hands on her stomach as she stared up at the sky. She basked in the sun, her eyes closed.

"How is your mother, Visenya?" Visenya opened one eye, turning her head to the side to look over at the two girls beside her, her aunt, Helaena, and her best friend, Aedith. It was Aedith who had spoke, making a daisy chain.

Visenya softly smiled, looking back up to the sky. "She was good this morn." She muttered, slowly nodding her head. "I promised to be there when she goes into labor."

"Do you think it's a girl?" Helaena uttered, her eyes on the insect in her hands. Visenya shrugged her shoulders, sitting up and looking at the two girls.

"I do hope it is." Visenya grinned, playing with the grass beneath her. "I would love a little sister. I love Jace, but I could teach my sister so much things." Visenya sighed at the thought.

"We could braid her hair!" Aedith quickly said, mimicking Visenya's grin. "It would be amazing!"

"I think it's a boy." Helaena placed the bug in her hand back in the grass, looking between the two girls.

Visenya let out a huff, slouching her shoulders as she looked down at the grass. "At least mother let me get him an egg. I picked the prettiest one!" The grin was back on her face straight away.

"You went on your own?" Aedith raised her brow, finishing her daisy chain and placing it on Helaena's head.

Visenya shook her head with a chuckle. "Of course not, my mother would not be happy with that." Visenya picked some of the strands of grass and placed it on her dress. "Ser Harwin took me." She added with a smile.

"What colour egg was it?" Aedith asked, intrigued. She loved the idea of dragons. Visenya had promised her she would be able to ride with her once Visenya got a dragon.

Visenya's grin did not falter as she laid back down, playing with the grass. "A nice shade of blue." She hummed, blowing the grass off of her hand.

"In the shadows it lurks, its scales as dark as night. One bold enough to see." Helaena uttered, her eyes looking straight forwards.

Visenya and Aedith were not strangers to Helaena's riddles, but both girls frowned. Nobody ever understood what the young princess meant.

Visenya sat up, cellaring her throat with a soft smile. "What does that mean, Hel?" Visenya carefully asked, sharing a look with Aedith.

Helaena was quick to snap out of whatever trance she was in, looking over at Visenya with a shrug. "Nothing."

Visenya slowly nodded her head, a confused look on her face as she looked to Aedith, who mimicked her expressions. "Princess Visenya."

All three girls sat up, turning around to see Rhaenyra's sworn guard, Ser Harwin Strong. Visenya grinned at the familiar face, jumping up to her feet. "My mother?" Athena asked hopefully, watching as Aedith slowly stood too.

Ser Harwin nodded his head with a soft smile. "You have a baby brother." He told her, making Visenya clap her hands together in glee. "Your mother wishes to see you, princess."

Visenya didn't hesitate to bid farewell to her two close friends as she hurriedly followed Ser Harwin to her mother's chambers.

The young girl was beyond excited to see her mother, and her new brother. She giddily ran through the halls, her dress scrunched up in her hands as Ser Harwin told her to slow down so she did not hurt herself.

But Visenya didn't listen, offering him an apology as she ran to her mother's chambers, letting the guards open the door for her.

"Mother!" Visenya looked around the room, seeing her mother on her cot, holding the newborn babe in her arms.

Rhaenyra immediately smiled at the sight of her daughter, panting as she walked towards the cot. "Did you run here, my sweet girl?" Rhaenyra weakly asked, making Visenya nod her head as she brushed the stray hairs that had fallen from her braid, behind her ears.

Rhaenyra couldn't help but chuckle at her daughter's antics, thanking Ser Harwin for bringing Visenya to her. "Have you named him?" Visenya asked, carefully moving to sit beside her mother.

Rhaenyra shook her head as she held the babe in her arms, holding onto his hand. "I have not, my sweet girl." Rhaenyra turned her head to her daughter.

Visenya let out a him, tilting her head to the side as she stared down at her brother. "Perhaps...Lucerys?" Visenya suggested, grinning up at her mother.

Rhaenyra pondered the name, looking down to her second son with a fond smile. "Yes, I do like the name Lucerys." Rhaenyra nodded her head, making Visenya's smile widen. "Lucerys Velaryon."

"He's so small." Visenya looked down at her brother with pinched brows. "Can I hold him? I promise I will not harm him, mother." Visenya looked up at her mother with pleading eyes.

And Rhaenyra always gave into her daughter's puppy eyes. "Hold your arms out, sweet girl." Rhaenyra quietly hissed as she turned, the pain still lingering.

Visenya did as she instructed, holding her arms out for Rhaenyra to place the babe in her arms. Rhaenyra carefully placed Lucerys in Visenya's arms, making sure to hold onto both her children.

Visenya softly smiled down to her brother, watching as he looked up at her. "Hello Lucerys." Visenya whispered, tilting her head to the side. "I'm your sister, Visenya."

Rhaenyra watched her daughter with a look of awe, how soft and gentle her daughter was as a person, even for being such a young girl whom had many priories.

"I will always protect you, I promise." Visenya added with a grin, pressing a gentle kiss to his forehead.

Rhaenyra smiled as Visenya turned her head into her mother's direction. "You have your lesson now, sweet girl." Rhaenyra reminded, making Visenya left out a sigh. "It is your high-valyrian lesson, my sweet."

"I do not have a dragon, mother. My egg has not hatched." Visenya complained as she let Rhaenyra take Lucerys back. "What heir could I possibly be without a dragon?"

Rhaenyra brought her free hand to cup Visenya's cheek. "You will have a dragon, my sweet girl." Rhaenyra gave her a pointed look, making Visenya lean into her touch. "I swear it."

Visenya slowly nodded her head with a sigh, smiling up at her mother as Rhaenyra moved to press a kiss to her forehead.

Then, the door opened, making Visenya look over her shoulder, her smile widening. "Father!" Visenya quickly, but carefully, got out of her mother's cot and went towards her father, who picked her up. "Mother let me name him!" She grinned, wrapping her arms around her father's neck.

Laenor chuckled at Visenya's excitement, looking over to Rhaenyra, who nodded her head with a smile. "And what have you named him, my girl?"

"Lucerys." Visenya confidently said, looking over to her mother and brother. "It starts with L, like your name, father!"

Laenor grinned at that, holding Visenya on his hip. "Lucerys is a lovely name." Laenor nodded his head, looking over to Rhaenyra for a moment. "Come, dear, it is time for your lesson, your grandsire will be there."

Visenya let out a sigh, pouting as she looked at her father. She knew she had responsibilities, and she would fulfil them, even if she was young. "Okay." She nodded her head, making Laenor tickle her sides and watching as she squealed in his arms. "Father!" She giggled, burying her head in his neck.
