The Red Keep. Aemond stands before the high window, his fingers gripping the stone sill until his knuckles bleach white. Below, in the courtyard, figures gather. His gaze—cold, piercing—locks onto one silhouette. Eight years. Eight years of silence, of pain, of hatred, now sharpening into a keen, almost painful thrill. He sees her—grown, beautiful, hair like winter frost, her eyes full of ice. His single eye widens. She is here. The one who shielded him, who gave his dragon its name. Slowly, he lowers his hand, feeling his heart beat faster, anticipating a meeting he has never been able to forget.
