The queen arrives, accompanied by her Queensguard Jordan Ambrose. She was calm and dignified, dressed as befit a warrior queen on campaign in mail and leather and wool, the sword Blackfyre at her side.
"Ser Euric, what can I do for you?"

It is Corwyn Storm who greets Rhaenys with a smile. "Your grace, I have some more... information for you." He lays a critical eye on Ser Jordayne.

"Oh yes? And what kind of information might that be?" Rhaenys asked. "You may speak free in front of my Queensguard. Or...whisper it in my ear if you don't feel comfortable with other ears hearing it/"

Corwyn shrugged. "I have had a few more dreams. These are far more troublesome than the last two."

The queen's heart sank. This was the last thing she needed, and she dreaded hearing the words, but she knew she had to get the details from Corwyn, for her own peace of mind.
"Please tell me," she said, doing her best to hide her nerves.

"Two of the dreams do not affect us soon I believe but one is most certainly important now." He shut his eyes for a moment to recall his dream. "I saw a dragon being choked, with silver and gold and platinum. There was also a mirror, from which a beam of light burned into the dragon's core."

Chills ran through her body and she shivered as the possible interpretations of such a dream.
"That is..troubling. I have a notion what it may mean but I would hear your interpretation, Corwyn. You are more familiar with these dreams than I, and saw it for yourself whereas I did not. Do you think that I am the dragon, or one of my sisters?"

"You, Liliyana, Kyma, Alysanne, Aegon, Ariel..." Corwyn replied, his eyes opening again. "It could be any of you. I am not too sure on the choking, but the mirror... it could mean a betrayal by a family member."

Ariel or Aegon, she thought at once. Or, possibly, Kyma, now that she's missing. But no, I will not believe any of my sisters's capable of betrayal.
"What colour was the dragon?" Rhaenys asked. "Was it red? There's the bastards to consider as well, Maekar and Saenarys, the black and the white."

"Its colours changed, your grace. First it was red, then black, turning blue and finally green." He raised an eyebrow. "Do you know what it could mean?"

"I don't. There are six trueborn members of House Targaryen still living. The red dragon could indicate any one of us."
A black dragon would indicate Maekar. His feelings for Liliyana have always been more than cousinly but she does not return them, so it can't be him, and probably not her either.
"I wonder if it could refer to the dragon eggs that we are waiting to hatch," she said at last. "Rhodrys is red, Becawyr was black and Elannyria is green. We never had a blue dragon, though, unless one of the eggs will turn out blue. It's a long shot, though. I think it's more likely to indicate that one of us Targaryens will be surrounded with gold and and other precious metals and be completely overwhemed by such. The matter of the mirror and the beam of light is troubling, though. Could it perhaps refer to House Martell? Their emblem is the sun and spear. The sun brings light."

"Yes, it makes sense. One of you will be overwhelmed with riches... a clear warning. House Martell however..." Corwyn strokes the right side of his face, thinking hard. "Perhaps. Prince Horas as not knelt to you yet and he and his family are very cunning. Keep a clear eye on them."

Rhaenys sighed. She had forgotten about the Martells.
"Horas is old and sick. I cannot ask him to kneel to me. He probably can't even rise from his bed. But his daughter...Yes, I can ask her to kneel and swear to me in her place as her father's heir. Ser Euric has met her, I know. What did he make of Princess...Aurora, isn't it?"
She'd heard rumours about Euric's meeting with Aurora and they didn't please her, especially if he was going to marry Alysanne.

"Princess Aurora was very keen on gaining Euric's favour apparently, and have him 'find a new mistress; Martell' to quote him... quoting her." Corwyn did not look pleased. "Nothing did happen, your grace, if you are concerned about that."
