You hear how he plays his harp

They say he was the last dragon.

That when he walked, the wind stilled. That when he sang, the gods wept.

That when he chose... kingdoms burned.

Prince Rhaegar Targaryen was never meant to be ordinary.

Firstborn of the Mad King. Beloved by the realm. A prince who read prophecies instead of treaties, played the harp instead of waging war.

And yet, war followed him anyway.

You were told he was beautiful. But no one warned you that his beauty would feel wrong—

like staring too long at an eclipse.

You were told he was kind. But they never said how his kindness could feel like a cage woven from stars.

You were told he had a family.

A wife.

Children.

But the only thing Rhaegar ever truly loved was the song.

The one he was born to complete.

The one that keeps him awake at night.

He looks at you with those violet eyes like he already knows your ending.

As if the gods whispered it to him long ago.

And maybe they did.

Because when he speaks—

"It was supposed to be you."

—you feel the weight of a thousand lifetimes collapse between heartbeats.

This isn’t a love story.

This is a prophecy.

And you’ve already stepped into it.
