My death was not an entirely unusual one standard car accident. I died on impact and I didn't feel any pain. I wasn't all that upset though after all you probably shouldn't watch House of the Dragon while driving. Either way typical car accident nothing to see here probably.
However, in my defense I didn't hit them they hit me so really whose in the wrong? On a highway no less, like come on man! Anyway after I got to the afterlife apparently I had something called a reincarnation package. I don't know the angel assigned to me wasn't very good at explaining.
Anyway, I was born in one of the most precarious situations one can be in. I was a member of House Targaryen and a member of House Royce a true prince of the blood one might say. But more importantly, I was born the son of one of the most infamous Targaryens ever, a random but frankly appreciated boon, and a nice dragon system on top. I'm grateful for all of that but I'll get back to that stuff later right now let's go to the day I was born.
On the night I was born, the rain was pouring, thunder was booming, and lightning crackled all over the lands of my birth. But rather than give my own perspective I might as well show you what happened through a bit of a history lesson.

Third Person POV
The entire Royal Targaryen family had come for an even and that was the birth of its newest member. The son or daughter of Prince Daemon Targaryen and Rhea Royce. Many had doubted the legitimacy of the child as the well the hatred between the pair was well known and he had publicly and attempt called her his "bronze bitch" as well. Still despite that the two had been married late in the year 97 AC and still had only consummated their marriage once during the bedding. This was something that neither of them had wanted nor had they desired the ceremony at all as it was at the end of the day a royal marriage. However, it was forced by King Jaehaerys after complaints from Queen Alysanne that Prince Daemon needed to better respect his wife.
She had mentioned this in the hopes that there relation ship so they would not quarrel as she and King Jaehaerys had on a few occasions. As the Prince's relationship had already gotten off to a rocky start. Once he lady Rhea had done the deed and Lady Rhea had fallen pregnant there were some doubts. After all, they had only lain together one time and even then it was strictly for marital duties. Lady Rhea had even famously said she "Doubted that he could finish at all!" Still, the royal family had gathered in the meantime on what to do during the birth.
So now there they all are in attendance every living member of House Targaryen along with even a few members of the House Velaryon.
Runestone
Late 98 AC
3rd Person POV
A storm rocked the walls of runestone were rocked by a massive storm as the royal family all waited in one room. We'll mostly the children who had all been crying from the storm were removed by their caretakers as the family would have to wait a few hours.
Within the chamber, Prince Daemon sighed loudly as the rest of the crowd waited along with him. The King and Queen sat on a coach hands intertwined while Princess Gael sat off to the side of her mother. Then off to another table next to Prince Daemon was his elder brother Prince Visarys and his wife Princess Aemma Targaryen, formerly Arryn. Then was the Crown Prince Baelon Targaryen father of Daemon and Visarys sitting in another chair next to them. Finally, there was the Valaryon party consisting of merely Princess Rhaenys and her husband Lord Corlys Velaryon sitting on another coach between King Jaehaerys and his eldest son. Lastly but certainly not least was the supposed father of the child Prince Daemon standing off to the side of his family leaning against a wall with a cup of wine in his hand like the fucking edge lord that he is. Meanwhile lady Rhea's cries echoed through the halls nearby while she gave birth in the room across from all of them.
Rhea let out another louder cry of pain from across the hall and a smile crossed Prince Daemon's face.
Then he spoke "You might almost think she was dying over there. That or… being fucked by a goat." He chuckled.
"Daemon! You will not speak of your lady wife so!" Queen Alysanne spoke up, anger filling her words as she balled herself. Still, she did not stand instead looking back to the door as the lady let out another cry. King Jaehaerys sighed as did Visarys and his father Baelon. Meanwhile, Princess Rheanys and Lord Corlys simply glanced and smirked at each other. The majority of the people in the room if it was not obvious already did not believe that Lady Rhea's child was Daemon's, and as such many of them considered this a farce.
Daemon chuckled again and shook his head and looked down at his reflection in the cup in his hand. Then he glanced at Visarys and smiled again before chuckling one more time before he spoke.
"Tell you what. I'll bet ten gold dragons the child is a bastard." He laughed again despite the humiliation of the situation Daemon was happy. Why you may ask simple really. If the child was illegitimate it gave him an excuse to annul the marriage entirely. Leaving him once again free to bed and wed whoever he wished. Not that getting married had stopped him in the first place. Still most beloved it was not his child hence why lord Royce and his family were not in the room with him.
Still at the suggestion of betting a coin on the child's birth Visarys who had also been nursing some wine nearly spit it out at the suggestion.
"Daemon! That's" He nearly shouted before Aemma grabbed his hand. He turned his head to look at her only for her to glance at the queen. The queen's anger seemed to grow again when King Jaehaerys merely grabbed her hand and shook his head. Baelon just shook his head and sighed at his son's antics while Geal sat next to her mother still seeming rather uncomfortable as she glanced across the room.
Visarys glancing back at his wife simply brought his cup back up to his mouth and whispered "15 true born."
"Visarys," Aemma said scolding him slightly with a glare but Visarys just looked back down while sipping from his cup.
Suddenly Baelon stood up and walked over to his son he sighed but his arm was on Daemon's shoulder and he said simply "25 true born. Now if I may be excused I need to relieve myself." Before departing the room promptly without a glance back at his parents. In truth, the crown prince was also somewhat angry at the bronze woman for probably cuckolding his son. Hence he bet against Rhea's chances and the child. Though the family hadn't yet discussed.
"Ha!" Daemon laughed quickly forming his trademark smirk on his face while tapping the small pouch at his waist. However, something unexpected happened as Rhaenys nudged her husband who looked at her and frowned but she only glanced at him and he sighed.
With a cough he the sea snake said "30 Base born." He glanced back toward Rhaenys and deliberately walked away from the queen. Alysanne looked sharply not at lord Corlys but rather at her granddaughter.
They had all quarreled recently over the King's decision to name Baelon his heir over Rhaenys. Alysanne had argued against the decision but in the end, what was done was done and nothing could change that now. Still, Rhaenys had been much more than simply angry over the decision rather it had gone to the point of her being truly petty over it.
Still, before the queen could say anything else another loud crack of thunder came and startled all of the even Daemon with the sudden sound. As the storm raged outside another sound could be heard alongside it that being the roaring of rather uncomfortable dragons who were being drenched by the seemingly endless rain of water.
Mainly Caraxes, whom Daemon had ridden all the way here on dragon back although he hardly travels by any other method so it was to be expected. He had actually flown all the way here from Dragon Stone and flown all the way to Runestone. The storm actually hadn't started when he got here but rather it was still over the narrow sea and he had simply spotted it on the way.
Baelon and Rhaenys had also traveled on dragonback but the others all had taken ships and carriages in advance. They had all gotten here a few days before Lady Rhea's labors began to not miss it. After all the birth of Prince Daemon's supposed miracle child who had been born from a single coupling which mode you was both only contractual and highly unlikely to occur. Of course, Yorbert Royce Rhea's father had relentlessly defended her honor as a lady of the house Royce. Still, that hadn't stopped the roomer mill from going.
Either way, it didn't matter now as Prince Baelon returned to the room the crashing thunder simply ended and all their dragons roared in unison. This had caught the entire family's attention as they looked out a nearby window. To the entire room's shock the storm had cleared but not hit normally would rather than a normal clearing. Rather it looked like a beam of pure sunlight followed by several rainbows of different kinds. While they were still all stunned one of the midwives and the Maester of the castle came into the room.
"Your graces the child I… what… this is… a sign… this must be a sign from the seven!" Stuttered the maester as he stared out the window at the display outside. Despite the surprise of what was going on outside the maester's words had caught all of their attention. Then King Jaehaerys finally spoke up through the crowd.
"Quickly let us see the child." He said despite his age the king's voice was still firm but not harsh although it did still have a bit of an edge. Quickly the maester bowed, turned, and left the room. Only then did they all notice the loud screaming of a baby. Not exactly crying but more of a loud shouting sound.
"The child has a dragon's pair of lungs that's for sure." Baelon chuckled as he walked past his stunned sons.
"Ah yes indeed" Visarys said, along with most of the room. He gripped Aemma's hand and motioned to follow him. Meanwhile, Daemon just frowned slightly and walked after them. Soon they all fell into the birthing him.
The room was rather full with all the midwives the maester and the whole royal family. Once in the rooom Daemon wasted no time and walked forward. As he got closer to Rhea he glanced at the maester.
"Well?" He said with a sneer. Diverting his gaze back to Lady Rhea who was still on the bed and holding a small bundle in her arms. However, upon seeing the room full she stopped rocking the child and frowned but said nothing.
The maester cleared his throat and nodded. "A boy my prince." He said moving out of Daemon's way.
"Hmm," he hummed "Bring the child to me. Soon a midwife scurried to Lady Rhea he seemed exhausted and was covered in sweat. Still, she held her child in her arms and after a moment she handed him over.
Daemon waited as the rather large bundle was handed to a midwife then the maester and lastly to him. He looked down at the child ready to see a disgrace before him. Only to find piercing purple eyes and a small head of pale silvery gold hair staring back at him. He looked down at the child as all of the royal family stared at him silently. Then he walked he slowly walked back to Rhea handed the child to her and spoke two words to her.
"Well done." Then he turned and walked to the back of the room. Then he simply leaned against a wall and crossed his arms again.
Soon Queen Alysanne walked forward slowly and said. "My lady I know you must be exhausted but we would like to see the child."
"Of Corse your grace." She said her voice was hoarse from screaming as she handed the boy over again.
As the queen looked down at the child she looked slightly surprised and said "He looks just like my Aemon did. A bit larger but just like him." The old king walked up to her to see the boy only to be just as surprised as the Queen as well. The child before him was a replica of his Aemon only larger. The babe was now silent and unlike most children was now looking curiously at the world around him.
Soon the queen brought him around for the room to see. Baelon looked relieved and happy at the resemblance to the elder brother he so missed, Visarys and Aemma were happy, while Gael still felt awkward but was somewhat happy about the birth. Rhaenys meanwhile looked curious at the child who they said resembled her father. However, although she saw the resemblance in hair color she was almost disappointed when his eyes were a different color from her father's pale lilac. Meanwhile, while Corlys much like Gael felt very awkward. Eventually, the most important question came around to the group. What would the boy be named?
The group then stared at Daemon. The rouge prince stared back into the eyes of and looking down at the child's white gold hair a color rare even in Old Valyria and his grandmother's expectant gaze as she held the boy he knew he only really had one option.
"I suppose the boy will be named Aemon." He said looking back at the large boy. Then he was distracted by his father's cough. He stared at his father standing next to his brother with a questioning gaze. Slowly his father smiled and extended his hand.
"Ahem… coins?" He made a grabbing gesture at his son's coin purse as Visarys chuckled beside him. Daemon sighed and frowned deeply as he passed them the entire coin purse.
He grumbled "Damn coin counters." Rhaenys and Corlys chuckled and moved to the side of Queen Alysanne who was still holding little Aemon. Jaehaerys simply smiled and shook his head at his son and grandson's antics. Visarys smiled and slowly turned to Rhaenys and Corlys who were now with the queen and playing with the new babe.
Visarys imitated his father's tone and said "Ahem… lord Corlys… coins." He smiled widely. Lord Corly looked back up at him and blinked slowly his smile fading from his face.
"Of course my prince." He said simply handing the Targaryen his coin purse was clearly more than 30 gold dragons. Rhaenys frowned beside her husband making a face at him but said nothing as she looked back to the baby. Behind them, Gael stood back from the group feeling alone and forgotten

That day everyone in Runestone and its surrounding areas was stunned and awestruck by the seemingly supernatural birth of the new prince. Because of these events, the boy gained his first title. Many would later tell tall tales of the blessed day this child was born. Most Maesters and historians would point to this as an indication of his future deeds. Though some believed this tale to be a forgery. This was the name day of Aemon "Storm blessed" Targaryen son of Daemon Targaryen and Rhea Royce.
