Loren did his best not to shake. He fought his nerves and told himself that what he was about to do was the right thing. He held the bottle of wine in his hands, while a knight named Raymont knocked on the door to King Aegon's bedchamber. A very drunken looking Aegon answered the door. "What is it?"
"Lord Loren Lannister is here to see you." Raymont stepped aside to let Loren step forward.
"Loren," said Aegon. Unlike the previous times they met, he showed no malice in his voice. "You saw my son today?"
"Yes," said Loren. "I was watching it with you. He was fantastic."
"He gets that from me," said Aegon. "You know, you should bring your son to court sometime. I'd like to see how he fares against my son. I sure he can at least provide some good entertainment."
"Mayhaps," said Loren.
"Or I could come to Casterly Rock," said Aegon. "I've never been and I'd like to see it."
"That sounds wonderful," said Loren. "I'm sure you'd love it there."
Aegon nodded in agreement. "Why are you here?"
"I wanted to give you a gift before you departed for Dragonstone." Loren handed Aegon the bottle. "From Fair Isle. I figured you'd enjoy it."
Aegon inspected the bottle. "Well there's only one way to find out. Would you like to join me?"
"No," said Loren. "I've had enough for today."
"Same here," said Aegon. "I suppose I can save it for Dragonstone."
"Are you going to share it with your family?" said Loren.
"No," said Aegon. "I figure if I must spend time with Aenys, I'd better be drunk."
"Aenys?" said Loren. "Your son?"
"Yes," said Aegon. "By Rhaenys. Nothing like Maegor."
"I see. Well I hope it's a lovely visit." Loren bowed his head.
"Thank you." Loren went to leave, but Aegon stopped him. "I hope to visit Casterly Rock soon."
"I hope so too," said Loren.
As is said by history, Aegon died suddenly while visiting his family on Dragonstone. Soon, the realm descended into chaos with rebellion after rebellion. Both Aenys and Maegor did what they could to stop the violence, but order was only restored with the ascension of Jaehaerys. What isn't known is the fate of Visenya and Loren. Both disappeared after Aegon's death. For years maesters have come up with various theories. None have been proven. The only clue to their fates is a fisherman who claimed that one night he saw a dragon carrying two people fly over his boat. According to him the dragon was headed north. Outside of that, everything is pure speculation.
Sansa put down her quill and sprinkled powder over her book. She took a moment to read over what she just wrote. She didn't think it was too bad, if she didn't say so herself. She got up. Littlefinger would be wanting her to deliver his tea and she didn't want to be late today. She had a surprise for him.
