I breathed in the fresh air as the sun embraced me with it's warm golden rays.
The heat of it felt familiar and it welcomed me with opened arms.
It has made me yearn for Dorne and its golden sands.
The spicy scent of blood oranges and its enticing sweetness.
The beautiful orange blossoms that only blooms in the hottest summer.
Not forgetting the water gardens with its clear crystal waters that sparkled all day and night.
It has made me yearn to return home with my children.
Where it is safe and familiar.
With Rhaegar enarmoured with the she-wolf, how could I not?
This castle no longer feels like home.
I closed my eyes as a memory pieced together like shattered glass.
He came to me.
In the dead of night, he sought me out.
He entered, with or without my permission and breathed.
"Elia".
I exhaled shakily when he held my face, his thumb caressing the bow of my lips.
I looked into his eyes and saw something that made my heart skip a beat.
Was it love?
I know I love him.
And that makes me hate him for it.
Wholeheartedly so.
Then the sun became undone by the sky.

I inhaled sharply when I saw her, standing by the marbled bridge that lead to the childrens solar.
She had her perfectly bowed lips apart as she breathed in and out, her chest moving in tune with each passing whisper.
The very sight of her has rendered me and my soul helpless, making my heart yearn in pain.
For what I did to her.
To the children.
I caused her so much hurt and pain.
So I try not to love her.
And yet, I find I cannot.
I yearn for her still.
Her long black curls escaped from its bindings and unfurled around her like an endless ocean.
Her sun kissed skin contrasted greatly against mines when I took hold of her dainty wrists and held them prisoner.
Her soft body beneath my own as I hushed her sweet lips into silence, my sinful need embedded deep within.
And then I heard my name.
"Rhaegar".
I clenched my hands till my knuckles bled through my pale skin when I held her tightly to me.
She wove a breathtaking tapestry that left me breathless.
Forever.
And the sky became clear as day when the sun soared beyond.
