The Blackfyre Hero
A/N: hello everyone and welcome to this new little story of mine. I know a while back I had written a Fable/Game of Thrones story, two of them in fact! But they weren't any good in my personal view as I had just thrown my own OC into the story with very little backstory or how he knew the Princess/Hero of Brightwall. And now, I have decided to do it right this time (and hopefully not lose interest and delete the story) and this time I am using a character from the Game of Thrones universe as the main character/protagonist. I'm not using Jon Snow though he will feature as the Azor Ahai like in the show, nor will I be using Daenerys Targaryen, Tyrion Lannister or any of the characters from GOT that we've seen but they'll all be in this story.
Rather I am using a character that was meant to be in the fifth season of GOT but was cut for some unknown reason, Aegon Targaryen/Young Gryff. But like the title of the story suggests it will be house Blackfyre and you're thinking 'hang on! If you're using Aegon Targaryen as the main character, why did you put Blackfyre in the title?' well it all comes down to a theory about Aegon Targaryen; the basic outline of the theory is that Aegon/Gryff is actually from House Blackfyre (A cadet branch of house Targaryen from a union between Aegon the Unworthy and his cousin/aunt Daena the Defiant that their bastard son Daemon Waters formed when he was given the ancestral Valyrian steel sword of house Targaryen, Blackfyre) and that Varys is his uncle and has been plotting for Aegon to take the Iron Throne.
Now I don't know why, but this theory about Aegon appealed to me and because House Blackfyre has tried a fair few times to take the Iron Throne, it makes sense that the Blackfyre family would still be plotting to take the Iron Throne after Maelys the Monstrous was killed in the War of the Ninepenny Kings. So, for whatever reason the team behind GOT cut Aegon from season five of the show, I don't know, so I thought that in this story I could use Aegon as the main character.
Now I'm doing this story into, shall we say, books. For example, the first book (the one you're currently reading right now) will be how Aegon has lived in Albion with the Royal Albion family and helps the Princess in her revolution against Logan. The second book will deal with Fable III's DLCs such as Traitor's Keep and Understone and the third and, hopefully, final book will be how Aegon travels back to Westeros to make his play for the Iron Throne as well as defeat the White Walkers and the Nights King. I could do another book showing what happens after the White Walkers are defeated but I don't want to reveal details so soon, as it would be bad of me to reveal details.
Now one thing if for certain, Aegon will get the sword Blackfyre early, like say when he and the Princess unlock their Heroic powers but I won't say how he gets the sword. Perhaps Theresa gives it to him straight away? Or he finds it behind a Demon Door? Or he finds it in a Silver Key Chest or a Gold Key Door? I'll leave you all to guess and give suggestions.
I also had the idea that Aegon gets his own dragon somehow. I know Daenerys has three dragons and Aegon could pick one of them but I want to make my own dragon for Aegon. Still working on how Aegon gets his own dragon but we'll work that out when we get to it.
Also this story will also be crossing over into Frozen, that could be brought into the second book when Albion opens trade negotiations with Arendelle and Aegon is sent to represent Albion and he helps Elsa with her ice powers and puts Prince Hans in his place but I'm not revealing details again.
Also, I have a voting poll set up on my profile showing a list of romantic options for Aegon Targaryen(Blackfyre) to be with. Some are my own OCs whom I've based off some well-known models, others are Fable characters, Elsa from Frozen of course and the usual Game of Thrones ladies, so vote for which ones you want Aegon to be with and when you get to the end of this prologue, leave a review telling me which girl you want Aegon to be with.
But I suppose I've chattered enough haven't I? So, on with the show!

Prologue: Setting the Stage
…
Queen Emily Sparrow the Hero of Bowerstone, sat in her office in the newly remodelled Fairfax Castle now renamed Bowerstone Castle. Her eldest son Logan was being tutored in the training room by Emily's top knight Sir Walter Beck in the art of swordsmanship. Emily's newest child, a young healthy girl, Candice, was in her cradle near her mother, fast asleep and gently snoring having been fed a full bottle of warm milk.
Emily briefly paused from her paperwork to give her young daughter Candice a fond smile. Candice was the last gift Alex had given Emily before he died of a bandit attack. Some dark rumours had circulated that Reaver, an old comrade of Emily's, had somehow ordered the death of Alex to clear the way so that he could seduce the Hero Queen of Albion. Reaver had denied all knowledge and any part of Alex's murder but it was hardly a secret that he desired the Hero Queen, or rather, the Throne of Albion for himself.
Emily had her spies keep a close watch on the Thief for any hint of his actions in Alex's death but they had turned up with nothing. As much as Emily hated to admit it, Reaver was innocent of Alex's demise. That, or he had disposed of any evidence showing his part in Alex's death.
But that wasn't important right now, all that mattered to Emily was her son and daughter, nothing else.
Continuing her paperwork, Emily had made good progress through the stack of documents that needed her approval and signature. The Hero Queen had finished the last of the papers when she felt a tingle run down her spine and time seemed to slow down to a crawl. Slowly turning around, Emily wasn't at all surprised to see her old mentor and guide, Theresa the Seer of the Spire. What surprised Emily was the small bundle the blind seer was cradling in her arms.
"Theresa… to what do I owe this unexpected pleasure?" Emily asked sarcastically as she lounged in her chair.
"I have not come to cause trouble, Little Sparrow," replied Theresa her voice gentle and calm.
"You've caused me nothing but trouble since the start!" Emily spat "You put the idea in mine and Rose's head to buy the music box and you informed Lucien of it!" she declared "And for that, Rose, my own sister, died!" she growled bitterly hanging her head low.
"I won't deny what I did was… immoral, Little Sparrow," Theresa confessed sadly "But look at all the good you've done these past few decades," she pointed out "You've helped countless people and saved many lives without asking anything in return and when I presented you the Choice, you selflessly decided to resurrect all those who died building the Spire."
"And I lost a faithful companion for that," Emily muttered sullenly "Not that you would know what it's like!" she added glaring at Theresa who flinched a little at those words.
"I know what you lost in the past, Little Sparrow," Theresa said gently "And I know what you have recently lost," she added.
"Don't you dare talk about Alex!" Emily thundered dangerously, her blue eyes flashing with righteous anger.
"But I have not come to exploit you any further," Theresa finished "There are terrible things to come in the coming decades," she declared.
"Then put me in its direction and I'll put it in its grave!"
"You will not be the one to fight such evils, Little Sparrow," Theresa countered "Rather, your daughter and the child I have with me now will be the ones to stop the coming storm," she said.
"Child you have with you?" Emily enquired "What do you mean?"
Theresa unwrapped the bundle in her arms to reveal a healthy baby boy, no older than Sophia with a tuft of pale almost silver blonde hair and dark purple eyes. Emily's heart went to the child but her intelligent mind then questioned why Theresa would have an infant with her.
"Why do you have a child with you?" Emily demanded coldly "Another of your pawns?" she asked archly.
"This child has a power within that will help decide the future of the world," replied Theresa "He has the power of Heroes same as you and your daughter," she said.
"Sophia is a Hero?" Emily breathed in a mixture of fear and wonderment "Why are you telling me this?" she demanded.
"Because the legacy you leave to your daughter and this child will be what decides whether the world will live or if it falls into ruin," Theresa answered.
"You have seen this?" Emily asked and Theresa nodded in reply.
Emily sighed deeply before saying "I don't want my daughter to live what I lived," she said tiredly "I've lost too much in my life and gone through hell and then some. I want Sophia to live her life in peace and happiness!"
"So do I, Little Sparrow, so do I," Theresa sadly "But Fate deals the cards and we must play them."
"I hate Fate!" Emily growled angrily "And I hate you!" she hissed.
"I don't pretend to know that you have anything but scorn for me, little Sparrow," Theresa said gently "But would you really wish for the world to end?" she enquired.
Emily sighed to herself before she replied with the question "What's the boy's name?"
"His name is Aegon Targaryen," Theresa said.
"Targaryen? You mean the boy is of the royal family of Westeros? Aren't they in the grip of a rebellion?" Emily asked.
"That is not your concern right now," Theresa said firmly "Raise the boy and have him be taught skill at arms and the like," she instructed "He will be a great ally of your daughter when the time comes."
"I don't suppose I have any choice in the matter, do I?" Emily asked archly.
"You do, but you would have to live with the consequences of your choice," Theresa replied.
"Very well, I shall raise the boy as though he were mine own" Emily conceded taking the baby from Theresa's hands.
Theresa seemed to smile from beneath her hood "You have done a great thing, Little Sparrow," she said "Now the stage is set."
Fading from sight, Theresa disappeared leaving Emily alone with the baby boy Aegon and her infant daughter Candice in her crib.
Then entering the room was Jasper who did a double take seeing a baby boy in his queen's arms "Oh my word! Whose child is that?" he asked the Hero Queen.
"He is an orphan I have taken into my care" Emily fibbed "His name is Aegon, and I will raise him alongside Candice" she declared.
"Very well, your majesty" Jasper said smartly standing to attention "Shall I have a room prepared for the young master?" he asked.
"Yes, have a room prepared for the child" Emily ordered Jasper "I must find Logan and tell him the news that he has a new sibling" she said as she stood from her chair and handed the baby to Jasper who dutifully carried the child out of the room.
Emily left her office to find her eldest child and give him the news that he had a new sibling. All the while the Hero of Bowerstone wondered what game Theresa was playing and hoped that her daughter and her new ward would have a happier childhood then she did.

A/N: well there it is everyone, the prologue to set the stage and events in motion for the first Book. And just to remind everyone, I have set up a poll on my profile showing a list of girls for Aegon Targaryen(Blackfyre!) to be with, including some who are inspired by some of my favourite DC superheroines such as Wonder Woman, Zatanna and Vixen, so pick which girl you'd like for Aegon to be with and get voting and tell your friends as well.
And I do apologise if this prologue is really short, I just wanted to pump this out as quick as possible so I can get to work on the next chapter so my sincerest apologies if this seems rushed in any way.
Anyway, I'll leave this here and get to work on the next chapter so make sure you leave a review telling me what you liked or if you have any suggestions for the story and if I like the ideas you give me I'll try to incorporate them in the story.
Kind regards to all,
-Angry lil' elf.
