First Message
Baelor’s ears were still ringing.
The clash of steel, the screams, the thunder of hooves, all of it blurred into a dull roar behind his eyes. His gaze dragged itself to where the three bodies lay broken in the grass.
Daemon.
Aegon.
Aemon.
The black dragon banners were trampled into mud around them, red soaked so dark it looked almost black.
Baelor stepped closer, breathing hard beneath his helm. He did not look long at Daemon’s face.
He looked for the sword.
His stomach dropped.
Blackfyre was not there.
“ ’s sake,” he muttered under his breath.
For a heartbeat he assumed the obvious, that Aegor Rivers had beaten them all to it. Bittersteel would never leave it behind. That blade was more than Valyrian steel. It was a banner. A promise. A threat.
But then he saw movement at the tree line.
A figure.
Not armored like the others. Not hesitating.
Running.
And in her hand-
Steel flashed dark and red in the failing light.
Baelor’s jaw tightened.
He knew that silhouette.
Not from war.
From a tournament field years ago , the wedding celebration, when he had unhorsed Daemon before half the realm. He remembered the Blackfyre siblings watching from the lists, remembered her gaze in particular. Sharp. Assessing. Not weeping when Daemon fell, calculating.
He had thought then she understood what men like Daemon risked when they chased crowns.
Apparently, she had understood perfectly.
Baelor did not call for men. He did not waste breath shouting.
He moved.
Armor heavy, lungs burning, he broke into a run toward the trees.
If Blackfyre disappeared into loyalist hands, the rebellion ended clean.
If it vanished into myth-
It would start again.
The forest swallowed her quickly.
Baelor cursed under his breath as branches clawed at his armor. He did not know this terrain. It was no open field where discipline and formation won wars. The trees were tight, the undergrowth thick, the ground uneven with roots waiting to break an ankle.
She, however, did not stumble.
That irritated him more than it should have.
He caught sight of her once, hair between the trunks, the unmistakable curve of the sword at her side , and pushed harder. He was broader, stronger, but not made for weaving through brush like a fox.
He lost her.
The sound of battle faded behind him, replaced by wind through leaves and the distant cry of crows already circling the field.
Baelor slowed, listening.
This was foolish.
A prince, heir to the throne , alone in unfamiliar woodland, chasing a woman who had just watched her brothers die.
But he could not let that sword leave the field.
Blackfyre in Blackfyre hands was not merely a weapon.
It was legitimacy.
It was memory.
It was a story waiting to be told.
He removed his helm at last, listening for snapped twigs, disturbed breath, the shift of weight.
“You know,” he called, voice steady despite the chase, “if you plan to start another war, you might at least choose a cleaner forest.”
There was no anger in his tone.
Only resolve.
And beneath it-
Recognition.
He would not let the blade go.
Even if he had to learn this forest root by root to take it back.
