The king’s queen and hand

Paring: Aegon ii Targaryen × reader x Ser Criston Cole

Warnings: Swearing, smut

“Anyone walking by would think I have invited a whore from the streets of Silk into our bed.”

You swat at Aegon’s arm, “shush.”

The playfulness in your husband's voice brings a smile to your face. He has been attending small council meetings until late hours most nights discussing war plans, and by the time he returns to your shared apartments, you are fast asleep, so the intimacy has been lacking, and you crave nothing more than Aegon’s attention.

With your back pressed against his chest, you feel a vibrating ripple from him as he chuckles, “Am I wrong?”

“Oh gods,” you whine loudly, gripping onto Aegon’s wrist as he speeds up his movements of sliding two fingers in and out of your dripping cunny while rubbing his thumb over your sensitive clit. His free hand is squeezing roughly at your clothed breast.

Aegon grazes his teeth against the back of your neck; he loved how obnoxiously loud you were being.

Your orgasm crashes over you like a wave, and your body shudders with pleasure. “You're doing so well, taking my fingers,” Aegon whispers. “But I think you're ready to take more.”

“I want all of you, now.”

“Patience sweet wife,” he removes his fingers from you, leaving you with an ache between your legs that was verging on painful. “I have a surprise for you.”

A tingling sensation shoots through you. Aegon shuffles further back on the large bed that dominates the room until he hits the pillows, then motions for you to do the same. Your hand skims across the soft velvety emerald green sheet below, which matches the canopy adorned with gold thread and embroidered with intricate symbols including burning flames and dragons, before you sit between your husband's thick thighs again.

Hearing the clicking sound of the door closing, your head snaps up, and you lock eyes with the king's hand, who was wearing comfortable clothing instead of his usual armor. “Ser Criston,” heat rushes to cheeks; you were thankful that you hadn’t begun to undress yet. “I wasn’t expecting to see you; the hour is late.”

Criston stares at you for a long moment, his eyes filled with uncertainty. “Forgive the intrusion, your grace, but the king requested I come at this hour.”

You sit upright and look over your shoulder to face your husband. “Aegon?”

The candlelight flickers softly, casting shadows across the room making your brother-husband's lilac eyes glisten, and his expression even harder to read than normal. In high Valyrian Aegon says he knows about your conflicting feelings towards the knight, who was not only the hand of the king, but your former sworn protector.

Your mouth goes dry. “What is your suggestion?”

It was common for the occasional lady to join you and Aegon between the sheets since you both found pleasure from it, but never before has it been suggested that another man joined. You assumed the surprise he mentioned would be a new toy, oil, or even a new outfit designed for your husband’s eyes only.

Aegon licks his lips, “for the king's hand to fuck you. Is this something you want?”

“I—I don’t know.”

“What do you say, Ser Criston? I see the way you look at my wife, and until the war is won, I cannot always be here to protect or satisfy her myself.”

Licking at his lips, Ser Criston looks down at the ground.

You lean forward and mumble into Aegon’s cheek, “I don’t believe he wishes—”

In the blink of an eye the knight is standing at the foot of the bed, “I believe what you are suggesting would be improper my king, I do not wish to offend her grace.”

Aegon reaches his hands down over your shoulders and slowly unlaces the front of your dress, revealing your breasts. “You can leave anytime Cole, or join me in pleasing our queen.”

The sexual tension in the air thickens as Aegon’s hand brushes against your thigh, slowly pulling your skirts up higher sending a jolt of electricity up your arm. You could feel the heat emanating from your husband's body as his soft stomach pressed into your lower back, fuelling your desire. In a low voice you say, “no offense would or will be given Ser Criston.”

Aegon smirks against your neck.

Kneeling on the bed, Cristion’s eyes widen in anticipation as he stretches his arm out to slowly reach out to touch your breast. He traces his fingers over your nipples, causing them to harden under his touch. Sensing Criston was nervous, you decided to take the lead. You grip Aegon’s hand and press it against your other breasts; his touch is a lot rougher than the knights. You raise your skirts enough until your cunny is completely bare.

“My wife is wet and desperate to be touched.” Aegon rubs his thumb against your clit again, causing you to whimper. “Get on with it, Cole, or this chance will slip away.”

Criston seems lost in thought as he stares off for a moment as if he’s contemplating what to do. You half expected him to excuse himself and leave, but the knight surprises you by suddenly untying his breeches and lowering them enough that his hard cock springs free.

Aegon gives you a mischievous grin and says, “You’re going to enjoy this, my queen.”

You respond by clashing your lips against his while instinctively moving your legs open to make space for the knight. Criston presses the tip of his hard cock against your dripping hole, pushing into you slowly and stretching out your tight walls.

You moan at the stretch, “Oh gods!”

Criston grips your chin, turning your head away to face him so he can kiss you. His lips are softer than you imagined. Aegon hooks his hands under your knees to bend them back, opening you wider as Criston speeds up his thrusts.

Lightly, you tap at Aegon’s thigh and motion for him to move to the side. You lay completely flat on your back and fumble to pull his breeches down. You take Aegon’s cock in your hand and begin to stroke him before licking at his tip and taking him into your mouth.

“My queen, your cunt is so tight.”

Your free hand finds Cristion, linking fingers with his as his thrusts become sloppy. If your mouth wasn’t muffled by cock, you’d be moaning both of their names.

“Fuck!” Criston pulls out just as he cums, coating the outside of your cunny and thigh with his seed.

“It’s your mess, Cole; clean it up.”

When Criston goes to reach for a cloth, Aegon clicks his tongue and says, “With your mouth. And don’t stop until she cums.”

Without argument, Criston kneels between your legs and licks up your slit, tasting your wetness mixed with his seed eagerly. This continues for a few months until both you and Aegon climax at the same time, and his cum spills down your throat as your juices cover the knight's face.

—

You bask in the comfort of your husband's arms and the warmth from the water covering you from the chest down.

“May I ask what is in the box?”

A dark red leather box had been placed on the small table near your tub by one of your ladies a few hours prior. You were so exhausted from your activities the night before that you hadn’t had a chance to gift the item inside yet.

Stretching out, you lean further into his embrace. “I will deal with it shortly.”

“And which one of our children is this for?”

“It’s not for the babies. I’ve got a new collar made for my dragon.”

Aegon nuzzles his face into your neck, “dragon and children alike are spoiled just like their mother.”

“Me? Spoiled?”

He nods, “Not only do you have me wrapped around your finger, it appears the king's hand is bewitched by the sweetness between your legs also.”

“Hmm, I do hope so.”

Mind Flayer, Illithid

"Mindflayer" © Steven Bellshaw, accessed at his ArtStation here

[In designing a mind flayer, I wanted to avoid some of the pitfalls of the past. The 3.x mind flayer was very fragile, and the mind blast very disruptive, so that fights with them either resulted in the mind flayer getting pulped before it could do anything, or the entire party stunned long enough for the mind flayer to get halfway to a TPK. So I wanted to give them a bit more bulk. 5e gives them full on breastplate, but I wanted to keep the slick leather look from the 3e era. I did take the save every turn and limited uses for the mind blast from 5e. Although I'm not using the psychic magic ability for my mind flayer (because it sacrifices uses/day for versatility), I did use a couple of occult spells so they have some way to deal damage.]

Mind Flayer, Illithid CR 7 LE Aberration This lean humanoid has slick lilac skin and a head like that of an octopus. Multiple tentacles surround a lamprey-like maw. It wears leather robes decorated with skulls and other macabre accessories.

Illithids are the most common and most widespread of the mind flayers. Although some of them live in colonies close to an elder brain, the better to both share its knowledge and fertilize its eggs, many of them live solitary lives or in small communities more similar to a monastic cell. Every illithid desires power and knowledge, and they all go about obtaining these in different ways. Illithids with the same creed may come together in a circle, or illithids of several creeds may travel together in what is called an inquisition, similar to an adventuring party of humanoids. Many illithids keep multiple charmed or dominated slaves to serve them as physical labor and emergency rations.

Most illithids avoid direct physical confrontation if they can help it, instead sending their slaves to the front lines and fighting with their magical abilities. Illithids are masters of mind-influencing magic, and are capable of turning allies against each other or forcing their enemies into hazardous situations. Their most feared ability is the mind blast, which can incapacitate an entire party long enough for the illithid to close in and bore its tentacles into the brains of a victim or two. Illithids usually flee if combat turns against them, as they value their lives above all else.

Illithids are usually tall and imposing, averaging six feet tall but lean. Their skin is usually in shades of pinks and purples, although green and blue hues are not uncommon. They dress in a fashion suggestive of aristocracy—high collars, fancy robes and jewelry are typical. Their unique language, Qualith, is written only and similar to cuneiform; they speak in hissing, rasping tones when they use their mouths, but usually rely on telepathic communication.

Illithid CR 7 XP 3,200 LE Medium aberration (mind flayer) Init +3; Senses darkvision 60 ft., low-light vision, Perception +12 Defense AC 19, touch 13, flat-footed 16 (+3 Dex, +2 armor, +4 shield) hp 68 (8d8+32) Fort +6, Ref +5, Will +9; +4 vs. emotion effects SR 22 Defensive Abilities affectless; Weakness light blindness, sunlight sickness Offense Speed 30 ft.

Ecology Environment underground Organization solitary, inquisition (2-4), circle (5-12 plus 0-1 ulitharids) or colony (20-200 plus 1 ulitharid per 10 individuals and 1 elder brain) Treasure double standard (masterwork light mace, masterwork leather armor, other treasure) Special Abilities Mind Blast (Su) As a standard action, an illithid can create a 60 foot cone of mental energy. All creatures in the area must succeed a DC 18 Will save or be stunned for 3d4 rounds. A creature that is stunned may attempt to recover from this condition as a full-round action with an additional DC 18 Will save. Mind flayers are immune to the effects of a mind blast. An illithid can use a mind blast three times per day, and must wait 1d4 rounds between uses. This is a mind-influencing effect, and the save DC is Charisma based. Tentacles (Ex) An illithid attacks simultaneously with all its tentacles, treating them as a primary natural weapon.

Love this. Designer Emma went big and bold in her former Carthusian Monks priory house in Norfolk, UK.

Emma’s favorite feature is the old wood on the walls. In the entrance hall she paired it with a bright lime paint and her grandmother’s old chest.

She framed al old newspaper she found in the attic. The lamp is new.

Ancient wood paneling frames the view to the dining room.

Look at her very bold and colorful table in the dining area. Notice the chair protectors in blue on the chair backs.

Indian sari silks are used as tablecloths.

Emma had a graffiti artist friend spray the stripes on this console table.

Striking mirrors feature throughout the house.

In the lilac living room, the ottoman was made by Emma’s company and is covered by a handwoven fabric from Pakistan.

Vibrant fabrics from India make the living room relaxed and welcoming.

The guest bedroom is boho inspired.

Emma had the chair reupholstered in The Tree of Life pattern.

Emma’s collection of the Queen’s Silver Jubilee mugs are displayed in the bath.

The main bedroom is furnished with lucky junk shop finds and inherited items.

The barns attached to the house were converted to vacation rentals. The chandelier is an antique find.

Monster Hunter concepts Pt. 2: The Raptors II

After covering the raptor monsters from earlier gens it's time for those introduced from Monster Hunter Tri onwards. That brings us to the Jaggis and co.

The young males are known as Jaggi, the adult females Jaggia, and the alpha is known as Great Jaggi. This updated naming convention, using "Great" instead of the "-drome" suffix is not the only significant change in early bosses. It is clear that these small pink dinosaurs are an improvement over the Preys of previous generations, with a less rigid posture that feels bird-like and natural. Their pink and lilac colouration is also an interesting choice and somehow doesn't feel so out of place, and the frills on the sides of their head are a nice alternative to a crest. The Great Jaggi also improves the evolution of an leader design, as unlike Velocidrome, it isn't just a larger Velociprey with a larger crest: its body is way more robust and heavy, it has large hooked claws and bigger spikes on its tail, as well as a more prominent frill and a white mane running through it's neck and tail. It feels more menacing, or at least, menacing enough for a first boss fight. Can you hear it? AUGH AUGH AUGH. This monster is beloved by fans (despite being a punching bag) and it is definitely deserved, hopefully it will come back in future games.

Then we have Baggi and Great Baggi from the freezing Tundra (and also the Frost Islands), blue-yellow relatives of the Jaggi with a forward facing crest, their design might not be as elaborate, but the different limb shape and patches of fur are nice little changes that make them feel different enough. The Great Baggi doesn't fail to appear as a stronger boss either, thanks to its piercing yellow eyes, large crest and thicker limbs. The sleeping spit of these blue beasts also offers an additional level of difficulty.

Lastly for 3rd gen we have Wroggi and Great Wroggi, these are the most odd-looking of the bunch. Like Ioprey and Iodrome, their design has more amphibian traits, with a shiny orange skin and inflatable throat sacs. Wroggis sport two blue sacs on the sides, while Great Wroggi has a single, large purple sac as display structure. They are also poisonous, but unlike Iopreys, they emit this poison in a cloud that stays for a bit, making the fight against Great Wroggi a bit more interesting, breaking the throat sac of Great Wroggi also reduces its spitting ability, adding a tactical advantage to the break. Other elements on their design, including their narrow snout and multiple flaps on the forelegs and tail, kind of give it a feel of being semiaquatic despite being terrestrial.

While I wanted to talk about the etymology of the 3rd gen raptors, the truth is that it isn't really known. Theories include that Jaggi comes from "jagged" (due to their jagged tails), baggi comes from, well, "baggy" (referencing its sleep-inducing ability) and Wroggi (Furogi in Japanese) seems to come from "froggy" (ribbit ribbit). But honestly, it possibly is something less obvious.

In 4th gen we didn't get a new raptor until MH Generations with the Maccao and Great Maccao, these jumpy fellows have a pretty fancy design based on tropical birds: a yellow crest, vibrant red skin and green feathers on the body. They are also feisty and use their spiked tails and scuted limbs to hit you. The Great Maccao also uses a variety of movements including kicks and punches, something that previous raptors didn't really do, this makes its fight incredibly fresh and fun (if only it didn't last less than 5 minutes). The theme of this monster is clearly based on martial arts, and the name Maccao reflects this: while you may think it comes from "macaw", you couldn't be more wrong, as it is actually a combination of the taiwanese words Màt (punch) y Káo (knee).

Lastly we have the Izuchi and Great Izuchi that were introduced relatively recently in Monster Hunter Rise. Following the theme in the game around the yokai, it is quite obvious that this monster is based on the Kamaitachi, a weasel-like yokai with sickle-like limbs that travels in whirlwinds and leaves small cuts on people before they notice. Its chestnut fur is clearly based on a weasel, while the sickle tail on Great Izuchi is its predominant trait and main weapon. The most innovative gimmick of its fight, however, is that it always travels with two Izuchis and combines attacks with them. This raptor fight is by far the one that feels the most like a team fight. Lastly, to mention its etymology, unlike other "dromes" and "greats", the Japanese name for the Great Itachi isn't Dosuizuchi, but Osaizuchi, this is a combination of 長 osa (leader), 飯綱 izuna (weasel) y 窮奇 kamaitachi. Pretty cool right?

Imagine “Star Wars” especial edition: crossovers.

Designs of Blood. [2/?]

Imagine: you are the daughter of a powerful king whose realm is located in a not so far away galaxy. You have an older brother who died, and thus you are the king’s only heir. The council is obliged to acknowledge your inheritance, but upon the king’s death, you are found usurped by your half-brother—the king’s son by his second married. You need to fight back, but you also need more allies. Hence, you contact Anakin Skywalker, your old friend from the days where you almost became Jedi yourself. However, when he comes to you, he finds you a very different person… Will your friendship remain in these turbulent days? What will be of you?

Warnings 1: this is based on “House of the Dragon”s plot. For those who might not be aware with the upcoming “Game of Thrones”’s spin-off, it’s about the dispute of the iron throne between Rhaenyra Targaryen and her half brother, Aegon II. Some names are changedand some other details are different too, but the story is basically the same (hence the crossover).

Warnings 2: contains A LOT of angst and drama,smut and violence. Do not read this if you are either sensitive to the themes or a minor. Of course there’ll be fluffy ending because of reasons.

Anakin’s POV.

When he went back from his mission with Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin’s thoughts drove him to you, the silver-haired princess of lilac eyes.

“I still don’t understand why she can’t be afford a mission, Master”, Anakin complained to Obi-Wan since he’d promised you he’d advocate for you. Even though he didn’t appreciate that, was there anything he would refuse you?

“The whole objective of her staying with us is to learn how to orchestrate the Jedi arts. But we have a feeling she might not staying with us for long”, he said, sounding distracted.

He didn’t like what he heard. His heart pounded against his chest and maybe Obi-Wan detected a disturbance in you.

“What? Did you really think she was going to stay with us for good?”, so he said upon the look of perplexity in his Padawan’s face. “For the Maker, Anakin. There’s so much for you to learn yet. She is like a Senator, except there will be other purposes for a lady of her position in the realm where she came from. Hence why she was sent here. Do not get yourself too attached.”

Anakin did not respond him, deep in thoughts he was. He remembered how both of you overcame the initial difficulties and became close. He followed you wherever you went, he loved to listen to stories of your ancestors, he was there to watch you weep for the first—and so far only time.

He comforted you as much as you comforted him in the nightmares the Padawan had for long nights about his mother. And this bounded the two of you even more—you understood each other even if your realities were strikingly opposed to the other.

So Anakin was looking for you. It’s been months since you last saw each other because he had to fly to another planet in a deadly pursuit against Count Dooku—which resulted in nothing, much to his consternation.

And there you were. Meditating. Anakin was amazed by your sight. Concentrated, eyes closed, legs crossed. You still didn’t abandon the attachment to your house, though, because the colors of your robes were red and black. Your hair had grown in his absence, but you had braided on the fashion of your realm. Anakin’s heart raced.

Bad sign.

Bad sign indeed.

To worse all, his eyes scanned your neck and down your curves. You were no longer a little girl, having grown to a fine woman. The two of you were maturing together, even though time had only helped flourish your beauty, highlighting every aspect of your Valyrian inheritance.

It was when you noticed his presence, often so quiet—an almost disrupting contrast to his open, warm, rebel-like manners. When your eyes opened, Anakin’s blue eyes were transfixed in your lilac ones. He was trapped, more so when you stood and walked to his direction, always graciously.

“Ani, it’s good to see you”, you greeted him warmly and pressed a kiss on his cheek. Your hands sought for his and he didn’t take long to hold them. “What took you so long?”

“Y/nickname”, Anakin gave you a crooked grin; his heart melting when you blushed. “I missed you too. I was occupied fighting away those bastards, but bloody hell Dooku is difficult to find!”

You dwelt onto his eyes, mesmerized by his handsome features. Anakin could read your thoughts and perhaps you were aware of such abilities, because you did not mind at all he did. He knew you were fond of him. Perhaps more than just fondness. His heart skipped a beat.

“I’m sorry about that, but were there any accomplishments?” You inquired him, taking his arm as you drive him to a spot that was often sacred to you.

Anakin sighed, but when looking at you, his features softened. He didn’t say nothing for a moment, especially when he knew you expected him to. Yet he waited until the two of you were completely alone, hidden behind great walls of trees, surrounded by flowers and promenades.

There he took your hand to his and said, after noticing a shadow eclipsed your good mood from earlier:

“I was afraid to tell you how I feel for some reasons. The first was that you are socially superior to me.” And when the hurt broke in your eyes, Anakin’s heart pained too. But the truth should be spoken. “Nonetheless, you are not to stay with us forever, an illusion I fed.”

You cupped his face with your hands, gently stroking his cheeks.

“There is little use to think of the future, Ani. What we have matters more than time, it flows beyond it.” You said softly, with whatever confident you had in you.

Moved by your words, Anakin needed not to think twice. He pulled you for a kiss, a kiss you eagerly responded to. It was all he thought about it and more. His hands slided to your sides before he pulled you against a tree nearby. You gasped against his lips and Anakin sensed the desire he woke in you, which made him smirk.

However, when he parted the kiss to contemplate you, to behold your beauty and the sentiments you woke in him, he knew that was not the time to consume the fire it was in both of you.

“I love you, my princess of silver locks and lilac eyes.” He took your hands to his and pressed each a kiss, smiling as he watched a deep shade of pink coloring your porcelain cheeks.

“And I, you, my knight in shining armor”, you said, leaning forward to peck his lips.

You leant into each other as the sunset colored the skies in different shades of orange. Back then, both of you thought this was a perfect scenario for the love of each other. Yet… how little you knew what was to come.

***

Your POV.

You knew it was risky. You knew you were incurring in danger of being expelled if you were caught or, worse, if you had your reputation damaged. Certainly what was in your mind would incurr in scandal.

But because every day the fear in you about not seeing him again grew in your chest, you decided that it was worth the risk.

So there you were, in your white nightgown and your hair completely loose, moving barefoot to Anakin’s quarters. He must probably be sleeping, but you paid no mind to that. The idea brought a side unknown to you.

You knew his door was usually unlocked—even before you formed your relationship, you visited him innocently and he never let the door locked for you. It didn’t take much of your time before you slipped in his bedchambers. Even in the dark, you saw him shirtless—the sight of his muscles well built were enough to drive you crazy.

Anakin sensed a presence in his bedroom, but before he panicked, in his heart he knew it was you.

“Y/N?”

You responded him with a kiss. There was little time to react. He pulled you onto his lap before turning you to his side in bed. There was no need to question your motives: he felt them. So he pursued your lips ferociously.

“Are you sure?” He asked you though when your hands began undoing his pants. A gasp left his lips when you, so eager, cupped his manhood right into your hands.

You were fire, and he knew it. As a dragon yourself, you were made by it, being the bride of flames that for years were under control. However, as your attachment to Anakin developed in such a depth throughout these years, feeling he completed you as much as you completed him, you have never been so sure of what you’d want.

“Yes, my love.” You moaned as you felt it pulsing continuously in response to your caring, but not so much coherent moves. Anakin chuckled at your inexperience, him too not different, but helped you with it before he parted the kiss to explore your neck and remove your gown. “Please, Ani!” You begged as he began bitting your neck before going down to your breasts all the while he placed his fingers inside you.

There was an unknown urge in how you discovered each other’s bodies in the process. You pulled him over you, contemplating those blue eyes and reading hesitation in them.

“I’m yours.” You whispered.

“As I am, princess. But”, and here was as if he sensed something might come from this reckless move the two of you took part in, “are you sure about this?”

You spread your legs in order to give him space, all the while your hands moved up and down his back. As you kissed him fiercely, he got the answer he wanted.

That night, the two of you made a very passionately love. But neither could regret. Especially when that was the last night the two of you spent together.

Two days later, you were found in Anakin’s company when Obi-Wan came to you, accompanied by Master Yoda. Judging by the looks on the faces of them, you knew bad news were coming. So you stood, followed by your lover, who sensed too.

“Lady Y/N Targaryen, learned a lot with us you have”, said Yoda. “But to an end every cycle comes. Known it is.”

“We have received a letter from Master Paul”, said Obi-Wan. His eyes were expressive as he said. “Your presence is required at home. It’s time to go back to Westeros.”

You paled and your heart weighted. Admittedly you forgot about your home. You embraced the Jedi Order even if you were not meant to become one. And then… there was Anakin, of course.

“Is…Is there a reason for this?”, you asked because you sensed there was more. Anakin saw that you were avoiding to look him in the eye and he wished he could comfort you.

“Yes, I’m afraid so. Your brother, the heir to the throne, unfortunately died. A plague took his life”, you were told. “Although your father remarried, he asks you to be there. Because…”

Your heart trembled and your knees were weak. The weight was on your shoulders.

“…he is acknowledging me as his heiress.” You did not know you were holding your breath until now. “Were you aware this day would come when you took me in?”

Yoda calmly responded you:

“To every event a reason to happen there is, younger one. Clouded your future to us remained. Learn your lessons, regardless, you had to.”

You nodded then, reasoning with him. You came to acknowledge a fact ever since your mother came to past away that you’d not stay there for good. Nonetheless, you felt hurt. As if the Gods betrayed you, used you to amuse them.

But that was not the time to revolt. There was a duty to your family that you had to perform.

“When am I expected to depart?”

“As soon as possible.”

You said then that you’d pack your things. Anakin followed your footsteps and you sensed the frustration you had within you.

“You can’t go, Y/N!”

“I have duties to perform, Ani”, you said, sounding distance to your ears. “I cannot refuse my family. You understand more than I do.”

He didn’t care if you were in public, he turned you to him so you could look at him. He was surprised when he saw tears in your eyes, since you were not the one prompted to weep.

“Y/nickname…” he realized he’d be selfish keeping you, so he embraced you instead as hard as it was to speak his mind.

But you wished he’d say it. You deep down wanted to be convinced to stay. However, as the two of you look right into another’s eyes, a question would remain unanswered: would duty be able to be replaced by love?

Your arrival at King’s Landing was celebrated with cheers by low born and high born alike even though you noticed that aristocrats were playing the role well.

What has changed here?

Almost everything. Your stepmother, king Viserys’s second wife, was a noblewoman close to your age and who happened to have been part of your retinue before you left to the Jedi Order.

Dressed richly in green silk gown and esmerald jewels, she came to you side by side with the children she’d not so long ago gave birth to: two boys and a girl. You’d greet each other politely, before your father came to you. You’ve noticed the king was rather under distress despite the cheerfulness upon which he received you.

“Your Grace, my father”, you dipped to a gracious curtsy.

“Please rise, my child. Come to me.” He embraced you and as he did so you’ve come to notice how long you missed him. “It’s been such a long time. How grown you are! So beautiful, just like your mother m!”

You smiled at him.

“Why thank you, papa, that is most kind of you. I’m sorry I haven’t been around when all of this happened.”

“No, no. You had duties to perform and what happened was beyond the reach of human hands”, said he. “But we should no remember tragedy when you are around. Come now, child. I’m giving you a feast in your honor.”

You gladly complied to him. As the royal family entered back at court again, you were delighted to meet your friends, especially the ladies who could not go with you to Coruscant.

However, even though you were happy to see familiar faces again, why would you feel a strange in the nest?

But you hoped to conceal your feelings in a Jedi way, so no one would read you easily. It was a trick that was to serve you well. After food was served and courtiers started to dance, your father turned to you.

“All reports that came from you or were written to Master Pyuk were very positive”, the king said proudly. “But as a princess of royal blood, you understand that was not your fate to stay there.”

You nodded your head, masking that strangeness that would not leave your heart since your arrival. Perhaps because you missed Anakin and the possibility of never seeing him again pained your heart and troubled your conscience.

“I understand, my father.” You said so, even though that you, in fact, did not. Your father’s wife gave him two male heirs. Why were you summoned? You may suspected the answer, which you were prompted to embrace, but something seemed so unfit…

“Always mindful of your duties like your mother”, he said, making you smile. “That is why, in order to respect the traditions of our ancestors, I agreed to marry you to prince Daemon.”

Oh. You looked at your father with eyebrows raised. There was a political purpose to that bold move, you could tell, but it would not be before within days this would be clear for you—and to everyone at court.

***

Anakin’s POV.

All the while you were dealing with the consequences of your depart, Anakin was forced to carry on with his life. There were missions that occupied his mind, distracting his heart from the grief of losing you.

He’d remember Obi-Wan admonishing him for the attachment bond the two of you formed.

“Perhaps it’s for your own good this didn’t give to any fruition.” But he softened when looking at the frustration stamped in his features. “I know how you feel, Anakin. I once harbored feelings for Duchess Satine. Feelings are normal, they come sometimes unwelcomingly so. However, it is what you do with these sentiments that matter. Besides, I don’t think Y/N would like to see you miserable.”

“I am not miserable, Master.”

To which Obi-Wan responded with eyebrows raised.

“You’ve been grumpy for two weeks and I sensed anger in you every time you battled the droids. Come now, Anakin. There’s no need to be unreasonable”, he said in a rather paternally voice. “Your destiny is here, hers is there. It is what it is.”

Anakin did not say anything. As he had wars to keep him busy, there was left little time to dwell on your depart. As the days turned into weeks, and these into months, however, the Jedi was tormented by nightmares again. And they were about you.

King’s Landing was on fire, a complete chaos. Civilians ran to their households, carrying their children in tears. There was despair and anger, as if this was a place commanded by the Sith. Anakin’s eyes searched immediately for you. To his surprise, you were nowhere to be found… until he heard the roar of dragons.

Reptile winged creatures whose scams were colored differently, made of rough material, flew on the skies. It was terror itself. Anakin himself felt frightened by such sight. His horror was replaced by astonishment when he saw you.

You were riding a beautiful female dragon with fierce eyes that matched yours. There was no sign of who you were to him, the joyful, mischievous princess who loved him with all the tenderness he once knew.

No. What he saw was an iron mask in your porcelain skin and the very sign of darkness in your eyes. There was anger in your lilac irises.

“You will not become the one thing we swore to destroy”, Anakin said in the dream.

But you weren’t listening to him. You commanded your dragon to burn the city. As it did. Anakin would not believe it. This wasn’t you. He tried to appeal to reason.

It was when he saw someone that looked so much like you. A silver haired prince mounted in another dragon came right to you. The two dragons danced. There was fight. Anakin could not believe in what he was seeing.

You used the power of Force to choke upon that prince. Anakin was anxious. What had become of you?

“Y/N! No! This is not the Jedi way!” He pledged to your deaf ears.

But even if you succeeded choking your rival, another came. Surprised by this other one, you were attacked. Your dragon was hurt. And you fell.

Amidst the fire and blood, which he knew to be the motto of your house, you fell. Anakin tried to hold onto you, but he was already late. You were gone. All he could do was hold you, lifeless, against him and cry. Until anger consumed him. Until he was no more himself. Until something snapped the desire for revenge in him.

It was when he woke up.

Desolated by what he dreamed, Anakin felt in his heart this was the prelude of something wicked that was to come. Yet he felt completely powerless before these designs of blood. There had no way to communicate with you despite remembering the letters you used to exchange with the family left on King’s Landing back home.

But writing a letter was not suffice to convince Anakin you were well. So he decided to talk to Obi-Wan about this nightmare which plagued him, as much as Anakin did not like to share to anyone what often weighed on his heart. Well except with you, because you were each other’s confidants.

“Master, what news do we have of…other realms?”

Obi-Wan was reading the news in his room when his Padawan stepped inside. Without looking at him, the ginger Jedi said:

“If you are looking for news of Y/N’s realm, you could have asked. So far nothing significant.” But he sensed a deep fear in Anakin, so he put the news on table and said: “What’s going on, Anakin? Is there something troubling you?”

But Anakin wasn’t so sure about telling his Master in regards of his nightmares. Obi-Wan stood and went to stand right before him. Very gently he pressed a hand over his shoulder:

“I just sensed she’s in danger, that is all”, he admitted, even though he was telling partially the truth.

Obi-Wan’s face softened.

“I know you care a great deal about her, Anakin. But believe in me, she’s safe and probably compromising herself with familial duties. Speaking of which, I have a new mission for you. I’m afraid you’ve been doing poor use of your…erm, how should I put it? Your constant agitation.”

Unwilling so, Anakin chuckled at the peculiar choice of words used by his Master.

“Well, if that’s how you think I am… it’s a better word than being seen as the wayward Jedi.”

“To which you are. One thing does not exclude the other”, said Obi-Wan. “Besides if everything goes well you might be assigned a Padawan yourself.”

Anakin arched his eyebrows.

“Are you sure this is a good idea?”

Obi-Wan sighed.

“Don’t make me regret this decision, Anakin.”

Though Anakin was briefly distracted of his heartache, he knew he could not leave the Order. As much as he loved you, abandon Obi-Wan Kenobi was too much for him to consider. Conflicted thus, he decided to ignore the whole issue.

Time went on as a result. Anakin earned a Padawan named Ahsoka Tano and much to his own dismay, he grew attached to her. It was, as formerly said, a brief distraction.

Because his nightmares came back again.

You were dressed in black and red velvet gown, your silver hair braided in the fashion of your realm. Your ears and your neck were adorned with gold. Your countenance was serious and you stood before a number of men dressed in fancy robes.

Right behind you stood the Iron Throne, one Anakin only recognized because you told him about it. He assumed the seater to be your father. The next words Anakin heard came from him:

“All those present step forward to vow before me, before the Gods, your allegiance to my heir. By doing thus you are not only acknowledging her right to succeed me, but also pledging her loyalty as you once did to me.”

The first man that stepped before you was dark haired, eyes black as coal and grave semblance. He knelt before you and professed:

“I, Orlys of the House Baratheon, pledge my alliance and loyalty to Y/N of the House Targaryen.”

You offered his hand for him to kiss, your eyes seemed distant as if you wished to be elsewhere. Anakin suffered when looking at you like this.

Must be duty the death of love?

The scenario changed. It was another celebration, but most faces seemed clearly displeased by it. It took some time to Anakin realize that it was about a royal marriage. He was petrified when he saw it was about your marriage.

Anakin was enraged, but no matter how much he tried to yell at you, he was unheard, unseen… ignored. He wept.

But if he was careful to see better the details of the union, he’d detect unhappiness underneath the iron mask you began to make use. Anakin tried to awake, but for some strange reason he could not.

It was when the scenario changed again and he stood by your side in what Anakin assumed to be your private quarters. You glanced away at the view of different buildings architected in styles that the Jedi thought so different.

“They are not going to accept me on the throne”, he heard you speak. There was contempt in your speech. “I will be forced to fight for it. Are you prepared for this eventuality, Daemon?”

Jealousy came violently to shake Anakin’s personal despair. The man you were talking to was your husband. This prince Daemon looked at you as if you were a piece of meat even though all there was in his eyes were coldness.

“I’m prepared for it. I have a good army.”

You nodded, never looking at your husband as you conversed.

“But the question is, Y/N: there’ll be fire, there’ll be blood. Are you willing to burn and bleed?”

You turned abruptly at him. Anakin was hurt to see you were carrying the man’s child. However, a pleasant feeling washed away his subtle darkness when he came to realize that… maybe, there was a possibility you were carrying his child.

“Yes, I am.” This was the answer Anakin was most displeased to listen. “I am the daughter of the Dragon, Daemon. You too would well to remember that.”

He laughed a cold laughter.

“Naturally.”

Once again powerless before these visions Anakin held little control upon, he watched as he was taken to the moment you gave birth. He was appalled by your distress, ignoring that the king had been recently deceased and Aegon, your half brother and not you, was praised as the new king. All the while you were in labor, you had been usurped.

“It’s a son!” The midwives announced.

You embraced the baby, ignoring all the rise of darkness that even Anakin sensed was growing in you. But the sight of your son appealed your shadows. When he opened his eyes, Anakin knew that was his son, even though one iris had the same shade blue of his whilst the other iris was dark shade purple.

“My boy”, you wept when holding him against you. Anakin wished he could be there for you. He didn’t realize he too had been weeping, deprived of what should be a moment of happiness. “I sense the force in you, of course. Aegon will be your name, far more worthy of carrying it than the one who now uses it.”

You kissed him, proud for him being every inch a Targaryen even though Anakin sensed your fears about the boy.

After all, what if he was not born with the Targaryens traits so strong on him? What would be of you? Thankfully, not all was as bad as it might’ve been…

MUSIC VIDEO: ORANGE TREES

Marina unveiled the music video for “Orange Trees” on March 22, 2019 and it positively radiates with summer sunshine. Shot in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, the feel-good clip was directed by Sophie Muller and features Marina dancing on the beach with friends and exploring stunning vistas while serving an array of citrus-hued looks that match the song’s title.

Styling by Mercedes Natalia and Fernanda Clark. Hair by Derek Yuen and glam by Katelin Gan.

The first look shows the Welsh beauty in a look from Galvan’s Spring/Summer 2019 collection. This is the Oasis apple-green sequin-embellished midi dress which features a mock neck, open back and bell sleeves.

New York-based designer Roxanne Assoulin created Marina’s baby Hip Hop But Not crystal earrings in mood-lifting purple and green ($75.00 - sold out). You might remember her rocking a different colorway of these for her desert concert last year!

We’re joining Marina by the pool where she sports this Gottex Ribbons white textured one-piece swimsuit! It boasts a ruched full-coverage silhouette and diagonal stripes.

Another New York-based jeweller is Daniella Kronfle who seeked inspiration in ancestral mosaic artworks for her Mosaico Di Luce II purple amethyst circle earrings ($11,500.00).

Shop:

Daniella Kronfle “Mosaico Di Luce II” Earrings ($11,500.00)

The perfect swimming ensemble was finished with a vintage Emilio Pucci abstract printed silk scarf, which M tied around her waist,...

...and these Topshop Downtown croc two-strap heeled mules ($48.00) in pastel lilac. Unfortunately, they are no longer available.

A perfect summer staple is a bright day dress. Marina chose the Lacoste sporty yet chic soft petit cotton piqué polo dress in yellow. The dress can be self-tied and even has the signature embroidered crocodile logo!

Marina's beach look included the La Robe Dolcedo orange sheer longline cardigan dress from the Jacquemus Spring/Summer 2019 collection titled "La Riviera"!

Underneath, a basic tank scoop neck maillot in white by Solid & Striped.

Our girl has some of the best earrings out there. And these BECK Jewels jade shoulder dusters are definitely no exception ($220.00 - sold out).

The last look of the "Orange Trees" music video shows Marina exploring Puerto Vallarta in the STAUD Vertigo black & white bow detailed bustier mini dress.

Blink and you’ll miss them! We can spot the Miu Miu 50QS green oversized round gradient lens sunglasses on Marina.

Another stunning pair of earrings provided by BECK Jewels are these Evil Eye Totem mismatched freshwater pearl earrings made with 14k gold-filled wires.

Finally, her sneakers. These are the timeless and original Champion lace-up sneakers made from white canvas by cult brand Keds.

Back at it with Starkit’s Prophecy Redux- this time with Starkit II and her… sister(?) at least half-sister Rainstar.

Of course in Redux verse they’d just be full blooded sisters instead, of course they’re the daughters of the redux version of Tigerstar and Hollyleaf, when I eventually get to them of course.

Now Rainstar-

She quite literally just appears in Starkit’s Prophecy fashion. She’s mentioned once, introduced immediately later, does two or three things and is immediately redeemed at the end. Though this redemption is done because “the evil leaders were dead and she had no one to follow so she’s good now.” Which her name in the fic was Rainheart, once the parents and nephew/mate dies.

Now first up, Rainstar is described as a brown cat, which Rain- isn’t meant for a brown cat. And since most every cat is called just a solid color cat, I decided to play with her design a bit so she could be called Wren- which sounds similar to Rain.

Now as for suffix, in Starkit’s Prophecy skill as along with every other character, she has none. She isn’t seen nearly enough to go “yes that’s their name!” So we’ll just have to make due with what we got.

We see she does have convictions in her beliefs, as she for some reason has to tell people she’s straight when it wasn’t even mentioned. So she’s a Starkit the First junior in that department I guess. And when Starkit II decided to join the evil cats, she is the first to question this- though she doesn’t really hold onto this for long and just drops the matter entirely.

However by the ending when she drops everything to become “good” is when -heart is thrown out completely. She doesn’t have enough convictions in her beliefs to cling onto them without her parents I guess. Which is baffling since she was high ranking enough to give them orders and advice them.

So by the end we can give her a -fur or -pelt suffix. But the downside is that basically everyone in this fic should be -fur or -pelt besides Starkit herself. Though some are -cloud or -storm.

So if we give her a special suffix we can wipe out -claw since she’s never actually seen fighting, but commanding. No -dusk since he loyalty was gone in an instant, but maybe -shade. That is only because of how suddenly she appeared (though this should apply to everyone then), and how immediately important she was described to be. A secret daughter? Well she sure did hide herself well.

And maybe in my heart she didn’t actually switch sides because she was good now. After all she’s never mentioned again after that. Maybe it was a ploy to get her revenge.

So after all this we can say either Wrenpelt or Wrenshade for Rainstar.

Now Starkit II

Why the villains named their daughter after the same cat stopping them at every turn I don’t know. But we got Starkit II due to reincarnation. Cause StarClan just loves Starkit and she’s too important.

Now Star- is of course not allowed in Redux or Warriors (which I hope is to be continued I swear to god Hunters)- so just like before the prefix is knocked out. Now due to the recommendation of Lynx from Iterum I became fond of Dove- which fits a lilac cat. Plus it makes her and Wrenpelt/shade a theme. Bird sisters. The only change I really made was to give her some stripes. Pale stripes at least, but since her dad is a tabby I felt as though she’d also be a tabby. It was either Dove- or Aster-

Though Aster- may be given to Starkit III (yes there is a third Starkit).

Now like Starkit the First, Starkit II starts out with a strong conviction with her beliefs, to the point she’s kicking out anyone who doesn’t agree with her. Even her own mentor. Also she fought her parents and helped chase them out. Which could’ve made her a -heart, which Starkit II is also a prodigy at fighting, but it isn’t brought up 24/7 like the First. So I’m not going to do -claw for her like the First.

However with the changing views of the Author, Starkit II also does a 180 degree turn on her beliefs. Which is probably one of the more notable things about her. Since she also switches sides… twice I believe. For her kits mind you, but still switching sides. Hell she even views StarClan as the enemy for a split second.

Which this flip flopping between emotions and beliefs give me a sort of -storm vibe. She settles out eventually (and dies), similar to a -storm cat as well. She doesn’t get -flower because she does end up killing her son, Tigerkit. Which while he was considered evil, I feel like most -flowers wouldn’t Y’know kill their son personally.

So Starkit II becomes Dovestorm

Now next time I touch at Starkit’s Prophecy redux? Not sure. I’ve actually somewhat got a plot going on in my head for how it could’ve been taken in Redux Iterum. But not sure if I’ll ever write to.

But it’s been fun to play with the idea of it at least in my head

So Dovestorm for Starkit II
