Martell Week - day O6: Aegon VI
"but he [King Aerys] thought he could keep Dorne loyal so long as he kept Elia and Aegon by his side."
"The Dornishmen burn to avenge Elia and her children."

None of the Martells have blamed House Targaryen for instigating the rebellion even though Dorne faced heavy losses in that war. When it comes to Elia - Oberyn, Doran and the Sand Snakes reserve their animosity for House Lannister alone while Quentyn and Arianne think of Elia in terms of how they can ease their father's grief. It's really absurd that no Martell character has yet commented on Aerys and Rhaegar's abuse of Elia when their family still mourns for her deeply.
The Martells not talking about Aerys and Rhaegar's behaviour towards Elia and their entitlement over Dorne during the rebellion makes me think that grrm will primarily make Aegon criticise his father's house on behalf of his mother.
Unlike Dany, Aegon will not have the same affection for Rhaegar & Aerys because his father and grandfather's actions were of indifference and scorn towards him. Rhaegar left Elia sometime after Aegon was born while Aerys took them hostage when the war started to ensure Doran's loyalty.
Aegon lives because of his mother's precautions and he lives despite his grandfather's orders to hold them hostage in the Red Keep. His mother outwitted House Targaryen's enemies and his grandfather when she conspired to send him to a safer place. Elia, Rhaenys and the baby that replaced him would be alive today if Aerys had sent them to the relatively safer Dragonstone with Rhaella instead of keeping them in Kingslanding.
We still don't know what Aegon thinks of his parents, but looking at the circumstances of his survival I expect he respects and loves his mother and her family far more than his father's.

Serra was Illyrio’s second wife, a sex slave from a pleasure house in Lys, and likely Aegon’s actual mother. She was a Blackfyre in the War of the Roses parallel of Margaret Beaufort, likely Daemon IV’s daughter sold into slavery after Maelys’s coup. 
Serra’s story sounds much similar to Daenerys’s: a young girl of Targaryen blood in Essos whose (proclaimed) royal father was deposed by a distant cousin, and then sold into marriage as part of a plan to take the Iron Throne. 
She did succeed in having a living son unlike Daenerys, but she never got to see him grow up as Illyrio states about her tragic death:
"A Braavosi trading galley called at Pentos on her way back from the Jade Sea. The Treasure carried cloves and saffron, jet and jade, scarlet samite, green silk … and the grey death. We slew her oarsmen as they came ashore and burned the ship at anchor, but the rats crept down the oars and paddled to the quay on cold stone feet. The plague took two thousand before it ran its course." Magister Illyrio closed the locket. "I keep her hands in my bedchamber. Her hands that were so soft …"
I think just as he doesn’t mention the actual details of her identity and the reason Illyrio married, he also may have been fibbing about her death. The best lies have bits of truth, the truth being the grey plague likely may have happened at the time. Note, he mentions that a plague came to Pentos, yet he doesn’t state that Serra herself got sick. 
At the end of the chapter, Tyrion sings a song by Symon Silvertongue threatening to reveal his secret about the sex worker who became his mistress, Shae. Shae herself (understandbly given her situation) betrayed him, and he would end up killing that very woman with the gold hands of the Hand's chain.
"A Braavosi trading galley called at Pentos on her way back from the Jade Sea. The Treasure
For she was his secret treasure
"I keep her hands in my bedchamber. Her hands that were so soft …"
For hands of gold are always cold, but a woman's hands are warm
Just where was the galley headed? As Illyrio said, it was on its way back to its home port of Braavos, a historical refuge for escaped slaves. 
Cutting off body parts with the tongues removed for little birds is part of Illyrio and Varys’s modus operandi, but it must be noted that the cutting off of one’s hands is the common punishment for thieves. What did Serra try to steal?
The thing of most value to Illyrio and Varys: Aegon.
While Illyrio and Varys were all in on the plan to crown Aegon, just what were Serra’s thoughts on it? The plan involved taking her young son from her for perhaps indefinitely to be raised by strangers to pursue the Iron Throne, a quest that has only resulted in death and disaster for her family.
Serra may have tried to run away with an infant Aegon to Braavos. Illyrio’s house slaves may even have helped her escape. Of course, Varys and Illyrio found out and stopped her, killing the crew on the ship. They would have been undoubtedly mad that she almost undid years of planning, and she likely threatened to reveal their secrets as a desperate last attempt. By that point, she had given birth to Aegon and fulfilled her part in the plan, so they didn’t need her anymore. 
They likely killed Serra, and Illyrio kept her hands as a memento. Serra was used a brood mare for her house's cause and when she tried to exercise some agency, she was murdered.

As Dorne stan, fuck all the dragons except Sunfyre, he's the only valid dragon at my eyes. My baby never attacked civilians as Dany's Drogon smokering peasants or burned cities. He just attacked and feed on nukes,Targaryens and corrupt maesters 🙏 God bless this good boy. Also he was incredible loyal and ferocious,the sun is truly his attribute. He would had been the perfect dragon for Aegon,Elia's son.
omg wait ... sunfyre ... the sun of dorne ... the sun's son ... elia's son ... elia's name being derived from Helios which in greek mythology is the god and literal personification of the sun ... sunfyre's rider being aegon the second ... elia's son being aegon the sixth ... aegon II vs rhaenyra in the first dance of dragons ... aegon VI vs daenerys in the second dance of dragons ... sunfyre the "golden" going back home to dragonstone, back home to aegon ... and aegon going back home to westeros together with the "golden" company ...

Day 06 Martell Week: Favorite Martell Fanfic
Ptolemaea by @sunsetstarroguein AO3
It's a pretty good fanfic and I loved the scene with the cousins talking and plotting. The truth is that life stole that from us. So a nice fanart of all of them together. In the fanfic Rhaenys is queen so I put a crown on her. Sarella telling an adventure from her travels. It was very beautiful to draw them
A small drawing of Aegon 6 announcing the week. Aegon baby.

I want Aegon VI to be the Pisswater Prince. I want him to just be the son of some forgotten Tyroshi or Lyseni bedslave. The Spider and the Cheesemonger tell JonCon that he's a Targaryen, they tell the Golden Company that he's a Blackfyre, and they make themselves a king from nothing.
I don't know if we'll ever get an answer, but if we don't, that's going to be my headcanon.

That time was done, though. “No man could have asked for a worthier son,” Griff said, “but the lad is not of my blood, and his name is not Griff. My lords, I give you Aegon Targaryen, firstborn son of Rhaegar, Prince of Dragonstone, by Princess Elia of Dorne ...soon, with your help, to be Aegon, the Sixth of His Name, King of Andals, the Rhoynar, and the First Men, and Lord of the Seven Kingdoms.”

I think Young Griff is going to have difficulties convincing people who he says he is and it's going to set up Bran having the same difficulties. If he can convince the general opinion then it gives precedent for Bran, if he can't then people are more likely to consider him as just another pretender magically coming back from the dead. Bran still might be able to convince them with better people to vouch for him but I guess they'd be extra resistance.

"He has a song," the man replied. "He is the prince that was promised, and his is the song of ice and fire." He looked up when he said it and his eyes met Dany's, and it seemed as if he saw her standing there beyond the door. "There must be one more," he said, though whether he was speaking to her or the woman in the bed she could not say. "The dragon has three heads."
