When Dragons Dream
The Dance of the Dragons. An age scarred by blood, ambition, and political strife. As Westeros tended toward chaos, the Targaryens’ once-unshakeable legacy reached its breaking point.
Born to King Viserys I and Queen Alicent, Baelon Targaryen found himself in a life that he could not control. Night after night, he is haunted by recurring Dragon Dreams. Visions of what was, might have been, and may yet come.
Burdened by his fear of the future, he, along with his twin sister Helaena, try to find their way out of the chaos.
But where can a Targaryen truly escape?
Essos? Asshai? The wilderness of Sothoryos?
And even if they flee, can they truly ever outrun what had been foreseen in their dreams?
This is an AU of the Dance, with several major changes:
• The addition of Baelon Targaryen, twin to Helaena.
• Dragon Dreams may be shared between two dreamers deeply bonded by blood and spirit.
• Visions may include alternate timelines/parallel worlds
Baelon is not reincarnated; all knowledge he possesses is gained through experience or through his dreams. The story is loosely inspired by HoTD: Reincarnated as Daemon Targaryen’s Son, though it follows its own path.
Also, I need to emphasise that my MC will not become King of the Seven Kingdoms. This is simply the story of a young boy trying to escape what would have been a life marred by death, betrayal and conflict.
All he wants is to become stronger, so he can protect himself and his sister.
