    Summary

    What if Criston Cole was actually a Dornish sellsword from Essos, would events have happened differently? Would he stay loyal to Rhaenyra? Would the Dance have not happened?

    Being a knight would have been the obvious answer for him to raise his family's ranks and make a name out of himself. Yet, Criston saw no reason to be knighted, albeit he had gotten offers before from previous employers. He simply did not see them worthy enough to swear his allegiance too, his childhood did not leave him to be attached to any country, and he enjoyed his worldly pleasures too much to make an oath.

    And of course, being a sellsword also paid better when you had the right employer.

    Those were his thoughts until he met a particular Targaryen Princess...

    Summary

    Stoically, Aemond knelt before the alter in the Great Sept. The Seven would bring peace and light the way in our darkest hours his mother always promised him. He remembers accompanying her here frequently as little boy. She came looking for solace though he can’t remember a day in his life where his mother looked at peace.
    The Queen had always looked fearfully weary, and sad. Aemond wondered if he wore the same expression now as he contemplated his sins. Hesitantly he lit the first of seven tapered candles.
