Oh and one more thing: This rumor mill is not about your status, even though some mention you.

... unfortunately, the few that have mentioned you are reacting poorly.

    • The Targaryen Rumor mill 2:

    Jaehaerys the Old King:D100 => 95
    Valaar:D100 => 83
    It was one of his days that he finally acted… lucidly. He was crying for the things he had said to the young boy, but the grief that he had was almost unbearable. If he stayed… if that boy stayed… It might have killed you.

    You could not dare look into his violet eyes, his smiling face, and not see Gael in him, his sweet fantastic Gael… Stolen away by her own grief and madness. Yet that boy shared none of that, save for his unnatural and peculiar silence.

    That silence made it even worse. You could imagine the words that were spoken in her voice, in her tone… With her laugh. His silence was aching and filled you with agony. How you wish to hear anything from his mouth.

    It was the only reason you did not kill Valaar, as he swaggered into his home, his keep, as a free man. "You have nerves coming here valaar, when I wish to have your head." It was an empty threat, and he knew it, for he smiled at you with a glare that showed just how much power he had.

    The old king then signed. "What do you want?" It had been years since The old king did it with Gael. So many years, but he never forgot. Even with his failing mind slowly being lost, and he sometimes forgot why he was here.

    Valaar only smiled. "I saved thousands of Westeros' Daughters… and you think that it means they will all be loyal to you when I call in a favor?"

    He signed it all. But the Old King did not have anger in his bones. Not now. Not anymore. "What do you want?" The Old King demanded.

    Valaar signed. "Allow my son to return to his home."

    "No." The Old king replied. "He may not know it yet, but my plans are now in motion and I require him to be free to act on it. Him and Daemon both, before this council and my death."

    "What is it you need from them that requires their exile?"

    The Old King Smiled. "What is your favorite legend, Valaar?"

    "The Dance of the Dragons." He signed. "When Dragons and humans bonded for the first time?"

    The Old King laughed, of course, he would. "Mine, at least at the moment, is Torgon the Latecomer."

    His plan was in motion, and now, it could not fail. "Now tell me Valaar. Tell me about the Three Daughters. Tell me about this alliance you have heard so much about?"

    And Valaar did.
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Visanya:D100 => 60
    Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen:D100 => 71

    She had an empty home. And that made her sad. But she also had a place in court and was a young girl who was in dire need of a confidant.

    Fortunately, she was just as bright, adventurous, and brave as your son.

    And that would be enough.

    "When is the Baby coming out?" She asked as she poked your belly.

    "When he's ready." You whispered. You knew it was a boy… you had seen it in your dreams. The Gods granted you another gift before you could be reunited with your husband.

    Reward: Visanya and Rhaenyra are now slowly becoming friends. Visaya is prepared to give birth to a son.

    She dreams of things to be.
    -------------------------------------------------------------

    Prince Viserys:D100 => 62

    He did not take the death of his father well. But he did find solace in his wife, and the potential child growing within her.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Prince Daemon:D100 => 93
    Rhea Royce:D100 => 94

    Lucien was gone, and both looked at each other with a great deal of patience, so much had changed between them that it was almost impossible to understand.

    "You must leave?" She asked as Daemon placed his hand on her, feeling the kicks and heartbeats. "They must meet their father?"

    "You know I can't stay that long. There is so much that we must do, the both of us." You whispered. "But I won't be gone too long, I promise." You said. "And I will have treasures and stories to tell them when I get back."

    Rhae almost laughed at that. "They won't understand, they will be babes."

    Daemon chuckled. "They will understand, and they will be strong. They are your children just as much as I."

    At that, she embraced him, and kissed him on his lips. "Come back to me. I don't want to have to raise them alone. Promise me Daemon. Promise me." She held him tightly and didn't let go.

    "I promise." You whispered as you placed your hand in her hair. "I love your hair like this."

    She was surprised, and the embrace was gone. He had let go, towards his own destiny.
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Corlys the Sea Snake:D100 => 7
    Princess Rhaenys Targaryen:D100 => 4

    The News of Lucien the Silent was enough to break them. "He will ruin my chances for the throne." She stated to her husband.

    Corlys nodded, but he did not hold the same vitriol. "He is just a boy."

    "That is precisely the problem. A boy and a bastard." She spat. "He should have killed him."

    "The Old King is many things, a Kinslayer he is not." Corlys replied. "But his family has made connections with court, and that may lead to something that we cannot abide."

    "Exile his mother?" She asked.

    "No. Impossible now. But I can ask Valaar to go on another voyage. He is eager to avoid the king."

    REward: They have reacted poorly to you.
    ------------------------------------------------

    Lord Laenor Velaryon:D100 => 87
    Lady Laena Velaryon:D100 => 43

    The two children had different reactions.

    They wanted to meet their new cousin and play with his dragon.
    -----------------------------------------------------------

    Princess Saera Targaryen:D100 => 72

    She took over half the city, with whores, gold, and hired men, and now she was a major power broker and ganglord.

    She was a step below the Triarch himself.
    -----------------------------------------------

    Maester Vaegon:D100 => 94

    He ran as fast as he could, towards his horse, to the North, and out of the city.

    He needed to see Daemon and Lucien.

    Their lives depended on it.

    Yes and no:

    Part of it is a random what is going on that is hidden from you guys.

    That second part is true.

    Like the Valyreon family reacted that us while the old king is playing 4d chess with all of Westeros and we are an important piece.
     
    Welp. I think with all the enemies we (a seven year old) are making in the south maybe we should make a few friends of a northern variety, hmmm, maybe a certain… CLEGAN STARK!!! *Cue theme song*

    • Exiled and Together:

    - [x] Train a skill: Reading and Writing Common Rolled:D100 => 100
    - [x] Train a skill: Reading and Writing High Valyrian Rolled:D100 => 95

    It started rather quietly. You had wished to read one of the many adventure books that were among the Runestone Library, but you did not know how. .. But then came the problem.

    Daemon was not that interested in reading. So you dragged him into the library and well… forced him to read to you. Dragging your hand across the page, you did the same as you stumbled reading. That lead to Daemon sensing a challenge. A challenge in how to make you read.

    He decided to not train with arms and brought you books and scrolls, ink and quills, for he decided that you must know how to read and write or it would kill him.

    But thankfully, it didn't come to that. For the simple fact, you took to it like a dragon to flight. It was easy once you grasped the letters and the sounds they made. And Daemon, despite his lack of tact, was naturally a brilliant teacher when it came to the concepts, to the point where the Maester wondered if the Rogue prince had a few chains on him that he did not know about.

    That was, however, not the case.

    Daemon just spent an entire month, teaching you to read, both Common and High Valyrian. Knowing the words from speaking, or signing in your case, made it almost second nature.

    To the point where when you began writing, you began writing in prose, not unlike that of courtly letters.

    It was magnificent.

    Reward: Reading (Skilled): You learned to read from the man you call a second father. And he in turn, learned from you to be a teacher. (+20 to reading rolls. Is able to read without an interpreter.)

    Writing (Skilled) You learned to read from the man you call a second father and learn what he has done from you.( Is able to write without an assistant or scribe. Unknown effect, but all letters by you gain a +30)


    You are now fully literate.

    Daemon gains Trait: Teacher: You are a man who knows the wonders, horrors, and joys of knowledge and teaching. (+20 to all training rolls to your wards, children, and others.)

    -[X]Train a Skill: Dragon Riding Rolled:D100 => 87+30=117

    Like before… You rode bareback. But this time you were not scared. You were not frightened.

    You were at peace. You rode Grey Ghost and you… as one.

    Reward: Dragon riding is now Skilled. Soon there will be nothing Daemon can teach you.
    -------------------------------------------------

    -[X]The Home that Is Where the Heart is: Daemon views you as a son. That is something you find a little uncomfortable, but... you aren't exactly against it. Rolled:D100 => 51

    He was sitting on the hill, waiting for you to land, his sword resting by his side. As you walked over, he did not wish to make a sound. For he instead signed. "I must ask you something, my boy?"

    You nodded. And allowed him to continue. "Do you trust me?"

    It was a startling statement. "For the last year, you went and were by my side, you assisted me and I taught you what I know. I see that we are not family, despite the blood, but I want to be."

    He was silent. And so were you. "But even if we can't. I can give you something as well." He than tapped his sword. "You are my squire now. A boy who will be trained in arms and armor, to be ready for battle regardless of what field you may find yourself in… You will be ready."

    "But i do not worship the Seven?" You signed, feeling confused.

    "Any knight can make a knight, regardless of the gods we worship, only that we keep the knightly vows, and we remain true to ourselves." He replied. "Will you accept that responsibility?"

    You nodded. "Of course."

    Daemon let out a sigh of relief. "Thank you."

    Reward: You are now, officially Daemon's Squire. This has made many knights of the Seven seem… and feels very odd.

    Gain Trait: Squire: You are a boy being trained at arms by a knight.

    Daemon wants to be ready to make you officially part of his family but feels he is not ready for it, and does not wish to force you into it.
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    - [X] Silent and Surface: Daemon looked at you, and merely said. "Silence to you is the same as breathing. But sometimes I wish you could talk." Rolled:D100 => 25

    At that moment, you wanted to say something, anything to the man giving you his soul.

    But you remained silent… Not ready to commit to such a thing.

    You were not ready to break that silence.

    You were too afraid.

    Failure. You do not have the trust needed to finally break your silence. To finally let go of the pain. To no longer be afraid of your voice.

    Not yet.
    -------------------------------------

    -[X]The Rune of Duty: Rhae wished for Daemon to be home for a little while. For what reason, you did not know, but you were there all the same. Rolled:D100 => 100

    Child 1 Gender Roll:D2 => 2 (It's a Girl)

    Child 2 Gender Roll: D2 => 2 (It's a Girl)


    Birth was easy for Rhae, and you realized that there were two little bundles crying. The hours of labor were relatively harmless for Rhae, as the Maester claimed it was the easiest birth he had ever taken part of.

    Rhae was even still conscious, and while exhausted, was holding Daemon's hand. His strained and crushed hand. "You are a bastard Daemon, but you have given so much joy." She said as you were allowed in.

    You were still in shock watching part of the birth, even though it was not your first, mother was always trying to help those women in need, and was a miracle worker. Mostly due to all the people that were around and congratulating Lady Royce for the birth.

    You were sitting down and smiled, happy at the scene. Then Daemon spoke. "Lucien… I'm naming you the godfather?"

    That made you raise an eyebrow in confusion. Huh? He… You were just a child! You couldn't.- "If anything happens to me Lucien, I just want you to care for them, they are as much your family as they are mine."

    Oh… Oh. You nodded. "Now, help me name them." He smiled.

    The Two girls were spitting images of young Princesses of Targaryen. White Hair… pale skin… but brown eyes, and you could see wisps of red hair peeking through… dual hair color? Or was one winning over the other and they were not clean?

    What do you name Daemon's Daughters:
    []Write in here (Two names please!)
    -----------------------------------------------------------

    Due to the events, You remain in Runestone for one more month (Extra turn):

    You have 3 Training (For Skills only) Action:

    And 3 Personal actions.

    []Fly: You wish to try and fly on the back of your dragon. You want to fly in the sky.

    []Learn a Skill (Line tail what you want to try and learn. Subject to QM Approval can be taken multiple times costing one action each)

    []Train a Skill: Choose one of your skills to train and become better. (Dragon Riding and other dragon related skills are now available)

    []The Talk of Gods and Men?: He has seen you pray. It was something that he never seemed to do. But he watched you anyway. It was like he was curious to ask. But didn't have the courage to do so.

    []A Bar on the Road: Daemon wants to drink and there are many taverns that are on the road to your destination. So you stop by one.

    []The Tales of Lucien and Daemon: You are now a squire. That means you have adventures! Eventually. Now it was about cleaning armor. Grooming horses, and listening to Daemon praise himself.

    []Silent and Surface: Daemon looked at you, and merely said. "Silence to you is the same as breathing. But sometimes I wish you could talk."

    []That Moment of Weakness: Daemon wept, for he finally had what he wanted. Yet in the face of it all, he had nothing. You need to remind him differently.

    []The Daughters of Daemon: You never once tried to help them…but you did now, and felt something.


    AN: Enjoy. And Plan format please!
