Summary
Some changes happen gradually, others are forced, like a price you pay for living. It is like a sharp blade cutting through the reins we had in our hands, until we realize that we never had any control. To have power is a dangerous thing, but to think you have power is even worse. To think that we can steer fate is an illusion, control is as ephemeral as life itself. And when change happens, we become prisoners of our desires long before death.
House Targaryen could ride dragons, but change was upon them as well. Powerful and imposing, but hostage to their own power. It was so with Valyria and it would be so with the house of the dragon.
The Iron Throne demands a price in blood. Ambitions and internal rivalries grow like weeds into an ember-red future. However in a twist of fate, Rhaella and Vhaelys Velaryon have the potential to avert their family's tempestuous decline.
