Summary
Fate is not the judgments of providence, nor scrolls written by the hand of a demiurge, nor is it fatalism. Fate is full of judgments. Full of hopes. Torn asunder by vengeance, believing that what is meant to happen, will happen.
Rhaelys Targaryen was the kind of woman the entire court admired, who could make even the sternest lord forget his worries. Sister to the Queen Who Never Was, she was also known by a title she did not choose for herself: "The Scaleless Targaryen." For she possessed no dragon.
But she was a dragon, made of blood and fire. And dragons, they know their own. Rhaelys could feel their flames devouring all in their path, in a dance of dragons that would set brother against brother and dragon against dragon.
Dragons were known for their flames, for ruling the skies, but when the realm assented to the union of Rhaelys and Daemon, they did not realize they were granting them a power beyond that which even once-great Valyria had known: dominion over the dragons.
And so, during the Dance, the eyes of the realm turned to Rhaelys and Daemon, for in the old chronicles of Valyria, wars waged by Dragon Dogmas erupted in flame and ended in blood.
