King's landing

Melisandre pov

For two decades now melisandre has been been looking into the flames of her lord, searching for any clues that might give her even a hint of the promised prince

But all this time the fires only showed her cold lands covered in snow,she has know for a while that the time for her lord's champion to appear is near,eight years ago she saw a red star bleed from the sky

This clearly showed that the promised prince is already born and he was already on his path to fulfill his destiny,but the fires still showed that the prince is going need her assistance to do that,she grew frantic in her search for the prince but with just snow as her only clue she didn't get far

For the time the star was in the sky her magic was stronger,but even then the fires still showed her snow,but all of this changed a year ago

For a year now the fires show her a wolf in the snow covered lands,with fur as white as snow and blood red eyes

Once again she started her search with this new information,still she didn't make much progress until few moons ago when she literally stumbled onto a person

This was odd to begin with,after walking on this earth for so long, Melisande doesn't stumble,she doesn't trip or fall,but after years she stumbled right into a person,only later she realised that this was a sign from her lord

In myr she stumbled into Syrio Forel,the former first sword of Braavos and a water dancing master, Syrio after leaving his post at the sealord's palace has spent the last few years traveling all across Essos fighting and defeating any known sword masters he could find

Syrio told her all about how he is going to cross the narrow sea to challenge the white wolf the first sword of Westros,that name alone shook her to the core

As she asked to know more,he told her about the Crown Prince Aegon Targaryen,they call him the White wolf because of his direwolf with snow white fur and blood red eyes

Melisandre knew about Aegon Targaryen son of King Rhaegar Targaryen,but she knew him by another name,the black dragon,he is called because of all rumours about his birth and colouring,if these rumours are to believed than he is not a dragon at all but a bastard instead

But these rumours are obviously false because she is sure that Aegon Targaryen is the promised prince

It is so obvious to her now,he is literally the crown prince born from the House of dragons,who better to wake the dragons from stone than the person with the blood of the dragons in his veins

And his birth,Aegon being born indirectly swept an entire continent in the flames of war and tears of innocents,born among smoke and salt indeed,but these sacrifices were clearly worth it because it gave us our promised prince who will be the salvation of the entire mankind against the darkness

So Syrio and Melisande traveled across the narrow sea to king's landing to meet the prince for their own different reasons

As they got to king's landing,they heard how prince Aegon is the the crown's champion against the former master of coin in a trial by combat,this Littlefinger a pest dares to go against the promised prince, Melisandre was ready to show this little bug the wrath of her lord's fire but but she cautioned herself against it,she doesn't want to create a misunderstanding with the promised prince by acting alone without meeting him first

But syrio her traveling companion for a while now agreed to be Littlefinger's champion in his eagerness to fight the white wolf

But this is no cause for alarm but rather an opportunity for her to finally meet the promised prince through this trial, Syrio is fool to think he can actually stand a chance against the promised prince

DAY OF THE TRIAL

Melisandre stood with Syrio in the giant dueling arena of the king's landing,Syrio made preparation for the battle as the people from all across the city and some even farther came to watch this battle

They all might be here to see the battle but from her perspective the outcome of this has already been decided,there is no way a mere man like Syrio can defeat her lord's champion,even if Syrio is a renowned sword master

Then she finally saw her prince arrive with the royal family,from the first look she knew that this was her prince,the young prince's footsteps were unbelievably firm but graceful,melisandre in asshai has seen a few warriors who have honed their skills in battle for centuries,but even they didn't have such firm footing like her prince,is the difference between men and her lord's champion is so vast that what normal men can't achieve in centuries her prince did at such a young age

But her prince is not the only one who is impressive among them,while not as impressive as her prince,the king and three of his protectors, morning sword,the bold and the young golden lion she realised, also carried themselves with skills far beyond their age,once again making it clear that not all men are born the same

As the royal party settled in their seats,the prisoner is brought out in chains,the days in captivity has not been kind to this little man,he looks haggard and yet still desperate

She made her way to the prince who is standing with the bold knight,as she reached near,she saw the prince remove his sword from the belt and in his hands he drew out the sword halfway out of its guard,the sword is bright with red waves like ripples all over the blade just like Valyrian steel,but Valyrian steel is very much darker than regular steel but this sword is the bright and the shiniest metal she has ever seen

But the prince sheaths this sword of metal unknown to her and gave it to the bold knight,the knight took the prince's sword and gave him a different one,now this new sword is clearly Valyrian steel,Dark sister she recognised

After coming to King's landing Melisandre spent most of her time learning whatever she could about her prince,tales,rumours, whatever she could find,one of these tales told how the crown prince found Dark sister,the ancestorial Valyrian steel sword of House Targaryen on the wall when he was just 12 nameday old,he sent the sword back to the king,but the king awarded the sword to the prince two years later after he killed the mountain and became the first sword

"Your grace,this one is Melisande,a humble servant to our lord,I was hoping we could talk after you win the battle" she asked respectfully

The prince looked at her,his gaze seemed to pierce her very soul like all her secrets laid bare to him,then he nodded,"Bring the water dancer too,I want to talk to him"
