Meleys getting scratches for being the best dragon.

After the leaks of the past days I was in desperate need of some Rhaenys&Meleys happiness. These two deserve the world.

Meleys, the Red Queen

Sporting glamazon status cheekbones there, Mel.

I relied more on hotd's design and gave our queen here tan horns instead of FB's copper because honestly it was going to look better in this piece. I'm all for continuing to shill my Dreamfyre and Mel are Tessarion's moms theory and Mel having copper horns feeds my insanity fuel.

Mel had only two riders: Alyssa and Rhaenys Targaryen, two women with big personalities and I think Meleys is no different. Famous for her swiftness, Meleys was in her 50s during the Dance and the second eldest on the field before her death. Killed in a trap by Vhagar and Sunfyre, this tough fuckin broad went down fighting. She took Sunfyre out of commission by nearly ripping his wing off. Archmaester Gyldayn claims she could have had a chance facing Vhagar alone which gives you an idea of her size. I often wonder why Rhaenys chose to stay and fight instead of trying to flee, considering Meleys's famed speed. I don't doubt she could have outpaced Vhagar without any trouble and if found alone I don't think Aegon would have changed taking her on. Alas, we will never know their minds!!!

I originally wanted to do a profile shot because next to Syrax miss Mel has my favorite snout profile and I wanted to show off the back of the cool headdress I was envisioning but I was most happy with the face structure I was getting from a front view so scrapped the old sketch. I also was first planning on something a bit sleeker and was looking at ff dragoon armor but I was vibing so hard on her rizz that I went in another silly anime direction with a rad grand mantle. Unfortunately shit was just not coming out how I wanted it and I was getting frustrated and had to cut out her pauldrons for the sake of my sanity. Just gonna add on to my forever things I want to draw to do list doing maybe silhouette outfit studies of all the dragons I did

AN/: First Chapter may touch up later but here it is no big warnings or age restrictions besides the mentions of births and such. Hope everyone likes the first chapter ❤️

——Chapter one——The Daughter of the Sea

The echo of a raspy rumbling from the enraged sea came towards the dark sands of High Tide, the waves were striking upon the shores of Driftmark as the storms were rolling in. They pounded into the cliff of the sheltered cove, then paused and pounced with malice onto its ankle, slamming into the cliff sides of High Tide. Upon the shore sat a Dragon it lifted its crowned head as lightning sparkled the sky revealing her red scales. She lets out a screech as she looked to HighTides castle, even as the storm raged on it didn’t hide the labored cries of her rider.

Suddenly, rip-tide rolls heaved as the sea foamed, crashed, pounded and bashed the cliff-foot before sloshing back.

Within the Castle walls, inside the maternity wing, was Rhaenys Velaryon, formally a Targaryen, she sat upright as midwives fussed over the Queen who never was, she gave labored breaths and was instructed to take good breaths to remain calm, Rhaenys was disheveled but still looked strong and confident, as another wave of contractions began and her cries are heard throughout the castle.

Corlys sat at a Hearth, port in hand with his Brother Vaemond, who gave him an encouraging smirk handing him more port to drink, “Let us hope it’s a boy.” Vaemond would say and Corlys gulps down the port quickly, “Rhaenys tells me not to get my hopes up like that.” He told Vaemond “And I am already grateful for the son I do have.” Corlys said and Vaemond smirked “It’s always good to have a spare you know that brother.” He said Corlys slightly glared at Vaemond and drank more of his Port as he heard his wife from the other side of the castle.

Vaemond and Corlys waited, until the Maester came down and he looked a bit wrecked from the long hours The Lady of Driftmark had been in labor, Corlys approached nervously “Well? How fares my wife? The child?” He asked and the Maester sighed and placed a hand on the lord’s shoulder “Your wife is well Lord, and your ... .Daughter.” He said and Corlys smiled and Vaemond kept a cold expression gulping down his wine, Corlys chuckled “I must see her.” He said and hurried out of the room and Vaemond scoffed and went back to the Flames of the Hearth.

The storm is heard outside the castle as Corlys makes his way up the stairs of the tower which held the Birthing Chambers, the doors would swing open as he entered eagerly and he sees his Wife though a bit tired and disoriented and disheveled, she’s her holding the new addition to his family and legacy and he approached his strong Princess proudly.

Rhaenys looked up and gave him a smile, “Your daughter, husband.” She said and he nodded and sat down beside her and gave the newborn a look over,

She bore the features of the Velaryon complexion and had the iconic patch of white baby hair proving her Valyrian Heritage.

Little round face sleeping peacefully wrapped in the blue silk blanket, as the storm raged outside and Rhaenys sighed tiredly and Corlys speaks, “May I hold her wife?” He asked

Rhaenys smiles tiredly and nods and he takes his baby daughter in his arms, “She’s like Laena.” He said and cradled the baby girl “Laena wasn’t so stubborn to come out.” Rhaenys joked and Corlys chuckled “Nor was she born during a sea storm.” She added and Corlys smirked “Sounds to me this little one will be full of storm and fire.” He joked glancing at Rhaenys then down at his new daughter he held, “Our Maela.” He spoke and Rhaenys smirked, “Tis a good name husband.” She said laying back against the pillows which propped her up in the bed “Maela our little Sea Storm.” Corlys said proudly looking upon his daughter in his arms.

A few days after her birth, a celebration was held, Rhaenys held Maela in her arms as those who attended would come and congratulate Princess Rhaenys and Lord Corlys on the birth of another daughter of the sea.

Even the King came, Rhaenys Cousin, Viserys Targaryen, along with His Wife and the Queen Aemma and Young Princess Rhaenyra and the Kings Brother and Prince, Daemon Targaryen.

Viserys approached his cousin and her husband and Rhaenys presented the king with her daughter and he smiled, “What a beautiful child, you both been blessed.” He said and Rhaenys nods “Thank you cousin.” And Viserys smiled “Would you like to hold her your grace?” Asked Corlys and Viserys smiled and nodded “If that is alright with my Cousin.” He said to Rhaenys who smirked and nodded “It would be an honor Cousin.” She said and she hands off Maela to Viserys gently and he held the little baby girl “I do believe she has the Targaryen nose.” He teased and looked at the little baby, and Aemma looked as well adoring the little baby, Rhaenyra looked a bit grossed out, as Viserys told her to look at her cousin, to be fair the Little Princess was only Ten and two, Queen Aemma sighed “She shall become just as beautiful as her mother I am sure.” Aemma said to Rhaenys who smiled and King Viserys handed the Baby Velaryon back to her mother, and he smiled “We have a present for you and your child.” He said he gestured the servants to come forward and they did and carried a trunk, and it gets opened revealing a egg inside, and Corlys smiled “You bless our daughter with a Dragon egg?” He asks and Viserys nods “I do….it is high time another dragon is hatched and Though this child is Velaryon the blood of the dragon runs through her veins.” He said and Corlys smiled “Like Laenor…and Laena.” Viserys said and Corlys nodded and gave the king a bow “We thank you Majesty.” He said and looked at Rhaenys who smiled “We accept such a gift My king and cousin.” She said smiling and looked down at Maela who slept soundly in her mothers cradling arms.

Rhaenys sat in the bedchambers rocking Maela gently in her arms looking at her daughter full of love, Laena comes over only 5 years and she giggled, “Momma….is Maela sleeping?” She asked and Rhaenys smiled “Yes be quiet.” She whispered and Laena nodded and comes sits beside her and her little sister in her mothers arms and she looked seeing the egg over the fire in a holder as it is being warmed up, “Do you think her egg will hatch mother?” She asked and Rhaenys smiled “I dont know.” She said looking at Laena and Laena sighs “I hope it does. I may not have a dragon but I want Maela to have one.” She said laying her head on her mothers shoulder as she watched the baby sleep in her mothers arm, “She’s so cute.” Laena cooed looking at her little sister “I love her momma.” She said and Rhaenys giggled and gave her eldest daughter a kiss on the head “I must put her to bed ... .how about after we go find your brother and then find our way to the kitchens.” Rhaenys said playfully to Laena who giggled nodding liking that idea and Rhaenys settled Maela down in her cradle and Rhaenys kissed the baby’s forehead and she helped Laena do the same who wanted to kiss her sister goodnight before they both leave the room hand in hand.

who do u think is faster? meleys or quicksilver?

Oooh I love these types of questions!

Before fulling answering (because even I don't know straight off the bat) -

Neither were forced into the Dragonpit; meaning they had freedom, fresh air, room to grow and food to hunt when they pleased. If one had been in the dragonpit longer than the other, then the scales definitely wouldn't be balanced.

Although Quicksilver was always a bit of a small dragon, her size gave her great benefits. Sometimes being quicker is better as you're a smaller target.

However, Meleys does hold the title of fastest dragon (in her prime) in Westeros.

Ultimately, I think it comes down to the rider. Who is the most skilled? Who is bonded with their dragon so well that they can maneuver as one?

The answer has to be Meleys. Her riders were always fierce and committed.

With a rider who upheld the title of dragon rider with ferocious responsibility, Quicksilver would easily be my answer. But she never got the chance to be with someone for a long time.

If anyone has other opinions, I'd be happy to hear them!

annoying to already see people discoursing about this “meleys the traitor” scene.

greens will say, pretending to care about the smallfolk, that they have a right to be mad about the attack on Aegon’s coronation because of the collateral damage to the smallfolk, which, fair enough, however stupid I may feel that scene was, it did do some unnecessary damage to the smallfolk of king’s landing.

HOWEVER.

if the scene is uncritically people buying into otto’s propoganda, it’s not only stupid it’s also an annoying departure from the books and a continuation of got writers (first d&d now condal and hess) treating the smallfolk as if they’re stupid which they are not. Look at the actual text of F&B:

Eight hundred knights and squires and common men lost their lives that day as well. Another hundred perished not long after, when Prince Aemond and Ser Criston Cole took Rook’s Rest and put its garrison to death. Lord Staunton’s head was carried back to King’s Landing and mounted above the Old Gate…but it was the head of the dragon Meleys, drawn through the city on a cart, that awed the crowds of smallfolk into silence. Septon Eustace tells us that thousands left King’s Landing afterward, until the Dowager Queen Alicent ordered the city gates closed and barred.

Yes, in both the books and the show, the Greens managing to kill Meleys the Red Queen and Rhaenys the Queen That Never Was is a big victory for them and of course Otto is going to turn it into a propaganda moment. It's even understandable that some of the smallfolk would turn on Rhaenys (in the show only) after her (stupidly written) stunt at the coronation. But those last two lines are crucial because it shows us what the smallfolk are really thinking as the Dance kicks off - "If the Greens are willing to disrespect even the nobility after their death, if they are willing to parade around the head of one of their great, terrifying, beloved, and respected dragons, treat Meleys the Red Queen like she's nothing but game hunted for sport...seven hells what are these people going to do to the rest of us nobodies?"

And that is why, if the show takes the route of erasing how terrified the smallfolk are after the Battle of the Rook's Rest, it's a complete disservice to the smallfolk just to have them buy Otto's propaganda hook line and sinker. They are not stupid, and when they realize very early on in the Dance just how awful and violet this conflict is going to get, they attempt to leave for safety and it's only Alicent locking them into King's Landing like lambs to the slaughter that stops the exodus from King's Landing.

Cutting that scene takes away not just the perceptiveness of the smallfolk of King's Landing to make the Greens look better, it also takes away one of the crucial moments that leads to the Storming of the Dragon Pit; after realizing that dragons can be killed by regular humans and not just dragonriders because they are forced to look at Meleys' severed head, then locked into a city that gets progressively more dangerous, with dragons that are getting increasingly more aggravated because of the continued violence of the Dance, the smallfolk take the only course of action they feel they have left to them and that's to rise up and massacre the dragons in the pit in a vain and violent attempt to protect themselves from the endless slaughter that the Greens forced them to live through.

#anti greens #rhaenys velaryon #meleys the red queen #getting on my soap box #pro team black #anti team green #smallfolk rise up #is gonna be a tag bc the nobles in this series are always acting up and so many pretend they care but they Do Not. its cool tho bc germ wil #and before anyone comes at me yes i am aware rhaenyra's tax policies suck and also lead to problems. she unknowingly adds more kindling to #an already raging fire and it explodes in her face. but CRUCIALLY that fire is not started nor even exacerbated by her. she merely inherits #an already out of control kl while stuck in the middle of a war with the northern army still months away from backing her up.#hotd spoilers
