Chương 2: 002 A Moon Later

A moon later,

Ah! I never thought this would happen to me; I mean, who would think that you would be reborn as Aegon the Elder!

I mean, I was shocked at first; I thought it was an illusion played by my mind.

But after seeing her gaze and experiencing her love for me, I didn't know what to think.

Alicent Hightower, the Queen of the Iron Throne, was a girl who was forced to marry a man who was her father's age.

She wasn't like what she was shown in the TV series; she was loving and caring.

Haha, although I admit that she is a little lost when it comes to caring for her baby, she tries her hardest, and hey, to change my diaper cloth, we have servants!

And although it was embarrassing to soil yourself, I can't help it; I am a child!

Anyway, I have come to terms with the fact that I have died and that the connection I had with my past-life family has been severed.

It would have been impossible if not for Alicent's motherly love that she has shown to me so far.

And it would be unfair for my new family, my loving mother and his upcoming siblings.

But I also know that she would not have that beautiful smile on her face for long.

Alicent Hightower, the Queen of the Andals and the First Men, outlived her children. She watched as her children died one by one, from Aegon to Aemond.

But I will not let that happen! She is my new mother now! And I would get a brother and a sister in the future; I will make sure that I, as the firstborn, protect them!

I will win the dance!!

...

Alicent entered her room, her face contorted with annoyance and anger.

She just met her husband, Viserys, a coward. 'That man! Couldn't he have spared an hour to see his own son, his firstborn?'

She dashed toward her bed and threw herself on it with a sigh. She was too tired from trying to convince her husband, who always escapes by saying that he had something important to do.

Her green eyes moistened at her husband's blatant ignorance toward their son.

Aegon, who was in the cradle beside the bed, noticed his mother's distress. 'What happened? Did the king say something?'

He knew that Rhaenyra wasn't the cause of her worries, as his half-sister was still only about ten years old.

'Ah! That coward must have refused to meet me!' Aegon caught up quickly; he remembered from the series that Viserys didn't really give attention to his sons and mostly ignored them.

'What should I do?' he mumbled to himself, thinking of a way to lighten her mood.

'Ah! I could do that!' he mumbled to himself, his heart beating with anticipation as he took a deep breath and then,

WAAH WAAH

The dimly lit room was filled with the cries of the baby, making Alicent jolt up from the bed in surprise.

She rushed toward his side, picking him up from the cradle. "What happened, sweetling?" she asked, her face wrinkled into a frown as she rocked her son from side to side.

But the moment Aegon was in Alicent's arms, he stopped crying and instead began to giggle while lifting his tiny arms and touching his mother's chin.

The frown on her face deepened as she couldn't understand why her son had cried at first but now was laughing.

Aegon, noticing his mother's frown, didn't stop but continued to giggle, 'It doesn't matter if she doesn't laugh with me; at least I can take her mind off the things that trouble her.'

And just as he thought, her son's infectious giggles spread to Alicent as a small smile bloomed on her face.

She hugged him tightly, somehow reassured by her son's laughter.

'Ah! She's smiling now,' he muttered. Taking a sniff, he commented, 'She really smells nice.' The smell of green herbs filled his senses, making him even more relaxed.

Alicent cradled her son until he was asleep again; she nestled him beside her in the bed, placing a pillow on the other side.

"Sleep well, my little king." She whispered, kissing him on his forehead and falling asleep, a small smile still lingering on her face as she drifted off to the dream lands.

...….

"Hmm, where am I?" Aegon muttered to himself as he looked around.

He was in some sort of black void, with his vision blocked by white smoke.

He looked around to see if there was anything that could explain what was going on.

"Where am I…?" he asked once again, his heartbeat rising with each passing second.

He looked down on himself and noticed that he was in his old body, Mark's body.

He narrowed his eyes as he looked at himself; annoyance seeped through his mind. "I am not Mark anymore. I am Aegon, Aegon Targaryen."

But as if his annoyance were nothing but a bug's distress, a deep hum reverberated through the black void.

VOOM

The back void trembled at the deep hum; the smoke traveled in waves, hitting Aegon's body.

Aegon's breath became ragged, his chest heaving up and down. Sweat began to trickle down his forehead while his legs began to tremble unconsciously.

'W-What is happening?' he stammered; he wanted to take a step, but no matter what he did, he couldn't lift his leg.

'Aaahhh! Fuck! Why can't I move!?'

He felt like his legs were glued to the void itself, making it impossible for him to move.

CLATTER CLATTER

With each passing second, fear began to claw its way to his heart. His teeth clattered with the immense amount of pressure slowly creeping around in the void.

VOOOOM

Another deep hum echoed through the void; Aegon yanked his head toward the source of the hum.

His eyes trembled with dread when he caught sight of the silhouette of the source of the hum.

He couldn't see clearly as the white smoke blocked his vision, but just its silhouette alone made him freeze in fear.

There, in the distance, three heads of what seemed to be a dragon moved behind the white smoke. Its wings, so big that they could cast a shadow on King's Landing, were wide open.

But there was one thing Aegon could see clearly: the three pairs of bright golden eyes staring at him.

He could feel the destructive power hidden beneath them; its wrath could destroy cities within seconds.

He knew what it was; he knew what it could do. After all, it was one of the most powerful monsters in one of the famous movie universes, given the title of King and referred to as the god who fell from the sky.

"Ghi-ghi-ghi"
