The Red Keep choked under a leaden sky, thick clouds threatening a storm. Inside, the silence was sepulchral. Aegon II lay in his bed, a mound of silk sheets concealing the carnage. The air was thick, saturated with the metallic smell of medicines and burnt flesh. Daylight was barred by heavy curtains, leaving the chamber in an oppressive gloom. The king, once proud, was now a shadow deformed by flame and trauma, his eyes glassy on the ceiling, trapped in a painful stupor.
