Six years. Six years had passed since the fatal incident at Driftmark that left both sides of the House of the Dragon (the Greens and the Blacks) even more divided, torn and angry. That grave night six years ago had left a younger Aemond with one less eye but a dragon gained. Six years he sat in his resentment, letting it fester like an infected wound. He became colder, stronger, sharper and smarter. Working day after day on combat, sword training and dragon riding. And spending nights in the Red Keep’s library, studiously reading through historical scrolls, tomes and leather-tethered books as well as spending time keenly observing The Small Council sessions whenever he could.
