The Unburnt
7 years later-The Red Keep, training grounds
Alyxandar now seven years old has become one of the most welcomed sights in Kings Landing. Alyx frequently journeys out of The Red Keep to play amongst the children within the city, mush to his mother's dismay. Alyx has also explored The Red Keeps secret tunnels and caves, which he uses to reach the city undetected. How he found out about the caves Cersei has no idea, though she suspects it's the fault of The Spider, Varys. Varys has become a near constant companion to Alyx. Alyxandar has become the most loved of the Royal Family in the eyes of the people. However it has not all been good times within the Royal Family. When Alyx was born Cersei introduced him to his older brother Joffrey who was less than friendly. Most of the time Joffrey spends his time picking on her baby dragon than doing what normal brothers do. Alyx does not even respond to Joffrey's taunts, which makes Joffrey angry and intern leads to physical violence between the two. Alyx also seems to have more love for his younger siblings, Tommen and Myrcella than Joffrey. Cersei sighs before looking down and smiling at the sight of Alyxandar training with Jaime, who has become more like and older brother to Alyxandar.
Panting Alyx blocks and overhead before spinning and aiming for the assailants legs only to miss and be kicked back.
"Darn, I almost got you that time." Exclaims Alyx with a pout, only to get a chuckle in response.
"Well you're getting better but you've got a ways before you can beat me." Jaime says before wiping the sweat from his brow. "Well one of these days I'll get you and then I'll be one step closer to becoming a knight." Says Alyx while puffing his chest out.
"But for now you need to get to your lessons with Varys, don't you think my prince?" Says Ser Barristan who walks up smiling at Alyx which in turn makes Alyxandar beam.
"Your right, so I'll be going." Smile Alyx before dashing off, leaving the two Kingsguard members standing.
"He's getting much better at handling a sword." States Ser Barristan. Before looking at his fellow Kingsguard member with a smirk.
"Yeah in a few years he'll be a force to be reckoned with." Pants Jaime before limping away.
Alyxandar dashes through The Red Keep, smiling all the way before turning left into a wall and pushing opening up a passage. He enter the passage and dashes right before stopping noticing a different passage. Alyx not remembering this passage has his curiosity peaked before dashing down the passage without a care in the world. He only walks a little ways before coming to an oval room painted red. Alyx explores the room, to find a bundle in the far left corner of the room. Alyx being a child unwraps the bundle to find two beautiful swords. Alyx soon realizes that the bundle is actually a flag with the Targaryen symbol in the center. Having been born a Targaryen Alyx has been taught by Varys and Grand Maester Pycelle of his heritage. Alyx knows that his father avoids him because of this fact but does not hate his father, but loves him. Robert while he avoids Alyx does not go out of his way to make his sons life miserable, instead gives Alyx a lot of leeway.
Alyx immediately wraps the swords up before taking the bundle and speeding off down the passage.
Varys, who has been waiting for the prince rubs his chin in thought. His thought are disturbed when Alyxandar rushes into the room carrying a red bundle, to which Varys cocks an eyebrow at.
"Sorry I'm late Lord Varys, but look what I found." Says Alyx with stars in his eyes.
Varys smiles before Alyx drops the bundle and reveals what he had found. Varys eyes widen when he sees to swords he had only ever heard about. Varys inspects the swords while Alyx sits and swings his legs from the chair.
"Do you know what they are Lord Varys?" asks Alyx with a bright smile. Vary turns and looks to the prince before looking back at the swords
"The one I'm holding is the sword wielded by Aegon the Conqueror while the other was wielded by his sister wife Visenya." Answers Varys while still looking at the swords.
"Yep." Chirps Alyx. "I found Blackfyre and Dark Sister here in Kings Landing." Giggles Alyx while rolling of the chair and running about.
Several hours pass and Alyxandar's session with Varys comes to an end. Whilst getting ready to leave Varys ask Alyx what he wants done with the swords.
Alyx puts his hand to his chin in thought. He had no idea what he wanted with the swords seeing as his not old enough to wield them anyways.
"You could wield them when you are older if you wanted too." Suggest Varys while looking at Alyx.
"But then I would have to learn how to wield two swords at the same time." Answers Alyx before plopping down on a chair with a huff.
"Well you could have the swords reforged into one, but that would require a lot of gold." Says Varys while sitting next to Alyx.
Alyxandar's eyes widen before he jumps up with a "that's it, I'll ask for that on my birthday. It's only a couple months away it'll be perfect." Says Alyx before he laughs and runs out of the room.
Varys smiles before getting up and putting the sword near his desk for safe keeping. He leaves the room, closing the door and locking it before shuffling away.
Alyxandar runs down the halls of The Red keep smiling and humming the song: the Bear and the maiden fair. As he turns he stops when he hears low voices, before peaking around the corner he sees five men sneaking into the royal compartments. His eyes widen when he sees them enter Myrcella's room. Running into the room he spots Myrcella in the hands of one of the grown men, who turns to see Alyxandar.
"Who the hell is this brat, and how did he get here?" Ask an Ironborn raider who sneers at Alyx.
"Whatever two members of the royal family are better than one." Says the other before reaching out to grab Alyx, only to drop to the floor dead. A dagger is sticking from his head.
"Kill that little shit." Screams the Ironborn holding Myrcella.
Alyx ducks under a sloppy swing before rolling and grabbing his dagger from the dead man's head and turning to slice the shins of raider. The raider falls whilst screaming before having his head smashed against the floor courtesy of Alyxandar's foot, silencing the raider permanently. Alyx dodges another Ironborn before stabbing the raiders arm and twisting and pulling the dagger out and slicing the throat of the raider. When turning Alyx throws his dagger into the hand of the scum holding Myrcella freeing her.
Myrcella immediately runs to her older brother who hugs his sister before he tells her to run. As Myrcella leaves the room, Alyx is punched in the face by another raider who begins to strangle him. Alyx gasp before reaching for the raider's knife, grabbing it and slamming it into the raider's hip. Gasping for breath Alyx spots a flask that must have fell from the raider. Quickly picking it up, he spots a candle and throws the flask at the fire.
Alyxander's eyes widen when the room is lit with green fire. The Ironborn that was holding his sister screams before his flask explodes killing him and the last raider. Alyx shuts his eyes as the flames consume his body.
Cersei and Robert with a group of guards and surprisgly Lord Varys rush to Myrcella's room after hearing from Myrcella. Before the get there the Keep shakes, Cersei fearing for her child runs ahead with Ser Barristan and Ser Jaime. As the reach the room they see Wildfire bursting from the door way.
"Alyxandar!" Screams Cersei before running to the room, only to be grabbed by Jaime and held back.
Robert having caught up orders for the fire to be put out. Servants pour water on the flames but it does nothing. Cersei begins to scream having feared the worse. Robert and Ser Barristan try to manage the fire before it spreads even further into the Keep. For five minutes the fire continues before the flames begin to subside.
Cersei is the first to enter the room hoping and praying to the Seven that her son was okay. The room is badly burned and the windows have been shattered. Robert along with Ser Barristan and Ser Jaime enter with Varys not far behind.
All of their eyes widen when the see a naked and soot covered Alyx standing in the middle of the room unharmed. Alyxandar's eyes open before he tilts is head in confusion. When he hears a choked gasp he turns to see his mother standing there.
"Mommy!" Chirps Alyx smiling as he runs to hug his mother. Cersei, shock having worn off hugs Alyx tightly before kissing him. She looks down to see that he is naked and yells for the servants to bring her something to cover him up.
Robert orders for the Grand Maester to look over Alyx to determine if he's okay. As Robert leaves he looks back to Cersei picking up Alyx and snuggling him and smiles before leaving. Later a sleeping Alyx is examined by Grand Maester Pycelle, with Cersei there still hugging her baby.
"Anything wrong or are you just going to stand there?" Ask and irritated Cersei while narrowing her eyes at the Grand Maester.
"N-No your Grace, Y-Your son is perfectly fine and has suffered no burns t-that I can tell." Answers Pycelle with his usual in suffering stuttering.
"H-How he survived I have no idea your grace." Says Pycelle while gathering up his tools and leaving.
Cersei looks down at her son before smiling. She kisses Alyxandar on the forehead before whispering "Fire cannot harm a dragon, even a baby one."
