Like an extension of your shadow
Daenys starts to notice a shadow always seems to follow her. Most of the court leaves her alone now, since Visenya has snapped at them to keep their mouths shut.
Daenys is happy to be left alone, just her and Argella again. Her ladies-in-waiting have been moved to Rhaenys and Visenya, and divided as they are, their nasty habits have dimmed down. Eleonora is still at court, but she has stopped to pursue Aegon, as she is madly in love with someone else.
She has confided in Daenys that her brother forced her to seduce Aegon, in the hope of becoming his new wife, and though she thinks the King is a good ruler and can be friendly when needed, her interest stops there. Eleonora is not exactly a friend, but she has started to visit Daenys in her office, and soon asks to be her lady-in-waiting.
Daenys is a bit shocked by this, but decides to let the past be the past, and accepts the offer after consulting with Argella. Argella is mistrusting in the beginning but over the course of a few days, lets down her walls and grows on Eleonora.
Since Aegon has been crowned official king by the High Septon, the construction of the Red Keep is well under way. Daenys has moved from her room to her own wing, with a beautiful view on private gardens just for her.
It is a rare sight, the court agrees in whispers, the entourage of the third queen. Most of the time, walking in the middle of their trio you have Daenys, like today.
She almost always dons a black or purple gown, her hair is most of the time left lose as well. The court agrees that Daenys is much more like Visenya, she wears just enough jewelry to be recognized as queen and that is it. She has an array of silver crowns, studded with black or purple rubies, fastened on top of her head by a difficult braided bunconstruction. Her crown is often accompanied by a silver necklace with the Targaryen sigil in it (a gift from Aegon, they whisper) and long silver earrings with black or purple teardrops at the end. (Daenys also has a pair of extremely big earrings with the three-headed dragon designed in it, a gift from Rhaenys for her coronation, but she only wears them at official business. They are too beautiful to be damaged).
She has only a few rings on her fingers. She has her wedding ring, and two other rings on her right hand. It are two silver rings, one with a three-headed dragon and one with a black stone as black as the night (A gift from Visenya, they murmur). Daenys is all in all the most modest queen of the three.
Lady Argella is often in the same fashion as her queen, but she is always dressed in black. The Lady of Harrenhal has her hair almost always in a long braid, and only wears a silver tiara with black stones in it as well. There is only one thing that points to her birthhouse, a necklace with the sigil of House Harrenhal/Baratheon in it.
Lady Eleonora is still beautiful, with her grey eyes and beautiful blonde hair, but she is much more modest these days. Most of the time she dons gowns of a dark blue, her hair lose with braided knots on top of her head. She as well wears a silver tiara but with blue stones, and only has one ring that identifies her as Daenys' lady-in-waiting. It is a ring with a blue stone in it, gifted by her queen. Eleonora ignores the whispers, it is weird they say, that it is she of all people that is part of Daenys' entourage.
Daenys ignores the whispers, gives Eleonora an encouraging smile, and off they go, out of King's Landing. Daenys walks for hours, followed by Argella and Eleonora, a shadow always in their near vicinity. In the beginning she wondered, but she knows now. She wonders when she will show herself.
Daenys stops in the middle of the field, holding her hand up, motioning for Argella and Eleonora to step back. 'What is it, My Queen?' Eleonora asks, her gown in her hand and retreating. 'Go back further, Argella and Eleonora. She is near.' Daenys says.
Argella has understood, now only remembering Daenys has not informed Eleonora yet of her new friend. They hear a screech above them, it sounds more like a crossing of a wail and someone weeping, and the hairs on their arms stand up. Argella and Eleonora are quick to bow, their nervousness shared by Daenys.
Magavin has not showed herself in weeks, and Daenys is nervous. The wind picks up as the she-dragon lands, a cloud of dust and grass flying up. The dragon makes a sound in her throat, her teeth showing. She starts stepping forward towards Daenys, the girl standing still as a statue. Magavin lowers her head and soon intelligent yellow eyes cross with Daenys' gaze.
'Magavin.' Daenys says, the dragon lowering herself and making a sound-like purr. Daenys smiles finally, nervousness forgotten, and pets the dragon over her cheek (can you even call it that?), the she-dragon closing her eyes in contentment.
'Long time no see, my friend.'
