A/N: So someone asked me about the OC having Stormborn in her name. The title Stormborn is given generally given to those born on nights of large and terrifying storms. In the case of Nephyra she was born just before the Rebellion (which was a year long) broke, making her about 1-1.5 year(s) older than Daenerys. I've decided that by the very description for Dani's birth ' as the greatest storm in the memory of Westeros howled outside, a storm so fierce that it ripped gargoyles from the castle walls and smashed her father's fleet to kindling 'it makes sense that this 'storm' was in fact a hurricane and they just have no better way of calling it. As such there are likely 'storm' seasons (hurricane season) which occur and one such 'storm' happened at the time of her birth.
This will also later bring something a certain prophecy into play later on. After all a hurricane does carry quite a bit of salt from the ocean now doesn't it? And could smoke not be synonymous with mist considering the time period? Or the winds to cause a fire considering the use of torches to light paths?
And before someone mentions Aerys and Rhaella, please remember that neither are the first of their name and as such with the Targaryen lines having married into each other they have in fact already already long since become the line of an Aerys and Rhaella. As I've taken creative license with this fic (using bits of GOT and some of ASoIaF, as it gives way in and explanation in somethings) Jenny of Oldstone never gave the 'prophecy' regarding Jaehaerys' line as in GOT he is not the father of Aerys but rather Aegon is. In this I have made a family tree (nothing to do with me being confused . . . cause that didn't happen).
UGH this family tree has me beyond twisted right now! Ignore what I've said before we'll be going by the family tree I put up or in the case of Fanfic just know Duncan is Aerys II uncle and that he had younger brothers, one of which was Aegon the Unlikely (Aerys II's father according to GOT). These GOT and ASoIaF differences are really starting to tick me off while I write this and go back over things. The family tree will also only go up until the most common ancestor shared by Nephyra and Jon/Jaehaerys.
P.S How do you other writers do this?! I bow before thee!
P.P.S Rhaelle Baratheon nee Targaryen has been moved up and now takes the place of Rhaegel Targaryen in the family tree. This makes her Duncan's aunt and separates how closely related Nephyra's parents were. If anyone has questions about the family tree I've made or why a certain person inherited feel free to ask or look it up on GOT wiki.
P.P.P.S Edmund Stark has been made the elder (rather than younger) brother of Rickard that forfeited his right as heir after he met his wife Nivari (a Child of the Forest) in order to marry her. This should help with the difference in ages and the generation gap seen. Basically, Rickard was what I am to my parents, the surprise. My parents were a year away from a child free house and then, Hello world. Though these Stark parents are having a larger gap between children. It works out well for them (us too) since it keeps to the GOT plot, allowing Rickard to become Lord Stark, and Rickard is or rather was raised as the 'new' heir to the North. Because Nivari is a Childe and looked like one the North or rather certain Lords of the North (and their heirs who have inherited) that were friends of Edmund will know of the Children's existence.

Back to the Story
Robin needed to be somewhere safe a fact in which they both agreed on. What better way to protect him than for him to be fostered at Storms End and raised beside Gendry. Lysa and Baelish would be the easiest ones to remove from the board. With their combined ability to see what was yet to come they planned. The easiest and quickest way to get rid of the two would be to have Nephyra, Robin and a few guards of both their houses find the lovers in the act. Jon was against this because it put her at risk but the fact remained that they would get no better chance than this one for years. If they acted now however Baelish would be executed and his theft against the crown made known as he would be unable to find someone amongst their retinue that could be bought.
Lysa though was a different story. While the woman would not be executed, only two paths would be left to her. One would lead to her joining the Silent Sisters while the other would see her returned to Riverrun in shame and her marriage annulled. Robin would remain heir despite the annulment as it was clear just looking at him the he held the Arryn look though with the dark hair of his grandmother, Minisa Tully nee Whent.
And so to Kings Landing she would return for Joffrey's name day celebrations.
Nephyra's POV
"Princess Nephyra, you've grown in your time away." Lord Arryn said smiling at me.
"As all children must."
"You're not a child anymore though. Are you girl?" Robert spoke from the throne his fat arse was sat, drinking. When wasn't he? "I remember your chamber maid running out, screaming thinking you had been killed thanks to all the blood released as you slept. The Seven know I would have thought the same had you not been standing there growling like a beast for having been woken by her screams." He laughed.
"Brother, I hardly think that appropriate." Renly said from my side, lips twisting downward.
"Feh, I'm king. It doesn't matter what is or is not appropriate." I saw as Renly's hand fisted.
"My king, please." The Lord Arryn spoke.
"Very well, tell me little fire how goes living in Misthaven of Mistwoods? Seven above, could your father have not come up with a better name"
"My father named the castle after my mother named the village for its constant mist, my king." A fact you damn well know.
"The dragon bitch. Explains so much" Robert said to himself aloud as though no one would hear him and I clenched my jaw. Soon Nephyra. He'll be dead soon and you won't have to lift a finger.
"All goes well. Misthaven has seen a number of repairs made since your last visit when I became your ward. The city is thriving now that the port has opened in Misty Bay."
"Yet another named for the Mist, your mother's naming, no doubt."
"My own, in fact. In honor of her."
"Step forward, little fire, and take that hood down. I already know your hair holds some of that dragon-spawn look to it. Fortunate, that it does not take up the entirety of your head"
"I'm afraid you are mistaken, brother. Nephyra's Targaryen beauty has only grown in her time away." Renly spoke as I removed my hood entirely revealing that while my hair still held the Baratheon black for the first few inches, my Targaryen silver blonde had grown farther upwards, now reaching halfway up my long locks instead of the ends and front pieces it had been upon my leaving.
"Leave."
"Robert-"
"Get out!"
A/N: Hair reaches the end of her back.
"Are you sure you do not wish to leave? You know how unpredictable Robert can be."
"It does not matter. We are here for a reason and we must fulfil it."
"Even if it means dealing with Joffrey's stares?" I didn't bother to hide my shiver disgust.
"Even then."
"Nephyra, I'm pleased you could make it for my name-day celebrations. Would you allow me to escort you to the dining hall?" Joffrey's eyes roamed over my body and I forced a smile onto my lips, hiding my want to stab the little prick with the daggers hidden on my person and within my inventory.
"Of course, my prince."
The walk took longer than I hoped or perhaps it simply seemed that way due to Joffrey's squeaky voice droning on and on without end. How long was it thatI have to wait for 'someone' to get tired of his shit and poison him again? Dealing with Lysa and Baelish better be worth if I have to deal with this shit for the next 2 weeks.
"Lord Arryn!" I hugged the elderly man, all the while cursing him in my head for putting Robert on the throne. Oh, Jon Arryn was a good man for the most part don't get me wrong. He was a fine Lord of the Vale and cared for his people but he was also a man that did as he pleased and damn all else. He believed what was honorable was what was right and should it be wrong but he do it then it must be honorable for he could do nothing else. He made excuses for Robert's actions and did little to correct him. I had no doubt that had Jon Arryn stepped up and spoken to Robert he would not be nearly as bad as he had become in the years.
"Hello, little one. You gave us all quite a surprise, my girl." He said as his fingers lifted a single curl of silver blonde. "Why did you not warn me of your changes?"
"Lord Arryn, am I to inform you every time I go through a period of growth?"
"Of course not, I-"
"Then why would I write to inform you of this? My hair has steadily been turning color since well before I left. I do not see how you could have possibly believed my leaving would make it stop."
He sighed in frustration. "You know how the king feels about your Targaryen looks. The Seven know he nearly killed you the moment he saw your eyes settling away from the blue of babes and the Targaryen violet begin to shine in your eyes. He would refuse to see you or even let your wet-nurse bring you out of your chamber until we saw the Baratheon blue had settled in a ring surrounding it. Now this?"
"This? This is me growing up, Lord Arryn. I may be the daughter of a Baratheon but I am also the daughter of a Targaryen. There is nothing wrong with my appearance. The only thing wrong here, is Robert's behavior!"
"King Robert!"
"He may hold the title but he holds none of the responsibility. And you do not bother to hold him to it!"
"Enough! You may be a princess Nephyra, my girl, but do not forget these walls have ears. Should the wrong person hear you, I fear they may believe you a Targaryen sympathizer. Who knows what your cousin will do then."
"He will do nothing. By the very debt paid to my father unless I commit outright treason against him, he can do me no harm. Please, do remind him of that my Lord Arryn." I said before taking my leave. Hopefully, this discussion will have no bearing on Robin's fostering with Renly. Though thankfully her relationship did not take too much of a hit with home despite her words. Though the said could not be said of Robert when he saw how she had changed.
