Chapter one:
The heart of the sea
Location: Kingslanding

Hisses of a snake that is slithering in her wrist and the birds chippers outside of the library where Aemma's septa, Lyra has been containing her in for the past hours while her mother is going through her fourth labor.

"Princess Aemma? Princess Aemma!" Lyra yelled at the princess who's clearly not listening to her. She snaps her fingers in the front of the girl to regain her attention "princess!" She said sternly.

Aemma snapped out of her thoughts and looked back to the old septa in front of her. Upon gaining the princess' attention back Lyra felt upset of course has she's been telling her about the tale of Aegor the foolish, "we're you even listening child?" She said disappointment lingering her old voice.

"Um.... Yes?" Aemma lied making Lyra sighed disappointedly "gods be good" Lyra mumbled to herself. "If you weren't aware princess, I was teaching you about the tale of Aegor the foolish." Lyra started "I'm assuming that you know about it? Hence why you been staring at the window while I talk about it." Lyra ended anger and frustration in her voice.

Aemma felt bad of course. Being her sensitive self she can't stop but feel bad as her septa is talking to her while she has been doing nothing but daydream. "I'm sorry..." she quietly apologized to the old septa looking down at the orange and white little snake that she sneaked in. "But I do know about the tale of Aegor the foolish." Aemma said looking up to the septa.

Lyra's eyebrow rose up out of curiosity as she hasn't even mentioned this tale to the girl and only talked about it today "do tell" Lyra demanded.

"Well Aegor is the youngest son of Daenys the dreamer and he liked the idea of dragon dreamers having the ability to see prophecies. So when he turned one and five, he became a septon to fool the seven gods into thinking he worship them, but the only reason why he became a septon is to be favored by the seven gods as he thought being the seven god's favorite will make him have the ability to make dragon listeners."

Aemma explained to the septa while she only looked at the small princess across her.

"And what are dragon listeners?" Lyra questioned Aemma impressed by her knowledge of the tale of Aegor the foolish.

"Dragon listeners are like dragon dreamers but except of dreaming prophecies, they hear prophecies. By hearing prophecies I meant hearing strange words from the stranger. Like riddles or stories like words ifrom them."
