Description: Viserys Targaryen recounts what he believes really happened during the Robert's Rebellion and the Sack of King's Landing. Viserys Targaryen: The Targaryens, blood of the dragon and the last of Old Valyria, were loved by their subjects and admired far and wide as the greatest dynasty in the history of the western world. But the peace and prosperity of nearly three centuries of Targaryen rule were shattered by the Usurper, Robert Baratheon, and his band of traitors. House Baratheon owed its very existence to the Targaryens. Was it not Aegon the Dragon, himself, who elevated the bastard Orys Baratheon in the War of Conquest? And what of the Starks? The Lannisters? The Arryns of the Vale? All had been spared and allowed to keep their lands when Aegon could easily have wiped them out. Centuries later, the Usurper and his lackeys repaid Aegon's benevolence with treachery. There are some who dare to claim Robert and his allies had reason to rebel. They say the crown prince stole the Usurper's lady love. They say my father, King Aerys, murdered Rickard Stark and his son without just cause. Whether these charges are true or not, it doesn't matter! The dragon answers to no one. Aerys's good name has been besmirched in the years since the rebellion. He has been called a dangerous madman, a monster, a tyrant that brought his tragic end upon himself. Lies! My father was a victim of weaklings in his council! Lackwits who failed him in his hour of need, and let the rebellion spin out of control! But it was not enough. The royal army was crushed at the Battle of the Trident. It was there the valiant Rhaegar met Robert in single combat, but the gods betrayed him, and he perished by the Usurper's hand. As the Field of Fire had marked the end of the Andals centuries before, the Battle of the Trident seemed to herald the end of the dragon kings. but it was the treachery and barbarism of Tywin Lannister that sealed the fate of the Targaryen dynasty. My father, King Aerys, had ever been a friend to the Lions of the Rock. Aerys graciously brought Tywin to court, making him the youngest Hand of the King in history. He gave him power. He gave him respect. He made it possible for Tywin to restore House Lannister to glory. Aerys and Tywin governed side by side for twenty prosperous years. Still, when the Usurper called his banners in rebellion, Tywin Lannister ignored his king's pleas for help, and stayed holed up in his stronghold of Casterly Rock. In time, my brother Prince Rhaegar was dead. The realm was in turmoil. And the Usurper's forces were said to be riding for King's Landing. What a glorious sight it must have been when a force of ten thousand Lannister men showed up at the gate of the capital with Lord Tywin at their head, pledging support to his beleaguered king. Aerys opened the gates for his old friend. Instead, Lannister and his men proceeded to plunder and destroy the city that he had called home for decades. As the capital was ravaged and its people terrorized, Jaime Lannister, son of Lord Tywin, proved every bit as treacherous. He killed my father, the king, at the foot of the Iron Throne. The Lannisters entered the Red Keep and Tywin ordered the deaths of the rest of the royal family. It is said Princess Rhaenys was found cowering under her father's bed and put to the sword. She was only a child. As I was the heir to my father's throne, I had been spirited away to Dragonstone with my mother, Queen Rhaella, who was with child. As a raging summer storm battered the island fortress and destroyed the Targaryen fleet as it lay at anchor, my sister Daenerys was born. My mother, the queen, died giving birth. Now, some seventeen years later, the rightful king still lives in exile. But a day of reckoning is coming. I will sail west, as Aegon the Dragon did centuries before. I will take back my father's throne with blood and fire. And I will punish the treacherous dogs who sought to destroy my family. And the people shall rejoice... #GameOfThrones #GoTprequel #GameOfThronesPrequel #HouseOfTheDragon
