Elia and Nymeria were twins, made of the same flesh and blood. Despite being twins, the two could not be much different than the other. Elia was a lady who preferred to read or tend to other duties, while Nymeria was a warrior. She spent her days in the blazing sun training with Oberyn, or helping her mother rule her motherland. Nymeria, was what everyone believed the first Nymeria to be.

She was a wild and free. She didn't wish for marriage or children, she would rather fight endless battles and see the world but, she'd do anything for Elia, even marrying the Targaryen prince. Elia had always been a sick, since birth. Everyone knew  Elia would not survive child birth, yet Elia wanted to marry anyway, so she was set to marry prince Rhaegar. But, as said, Elia was at risk of losing her life through child birth and her mother and siblings knew marrying a Targaryen prince was risky business, let alone the future king. Rhaegar Targaryen needed children, he needed heirs.

So, the princess of Dorne changed the match that had been made and betrothed Nymeria to Rhaegar. It was well known that Nymeria did not like Rhaegar Targaryen at all. They had one too many disagreement since the day they met but Nymeria played her part, all too well. Rhaegar and Nymeria married in front of the masses in the great sept. A grand wedding and feast took place in their honor. Nymeria smiled and kissed her husband, everyone bought her act and believed her fit to be their next queen.

The couple consummated their marriage and nine moons later two daughters were born. Nymeria named them Visenya and Rhaenyra. Rhaegar was elated by the birth of his daughters, even the king seemed happy as him and his wife never had any daughters that lived, but now they had two granddaughters. A year after, two sons came, she named them Aegon and Daemon. Despite being Dornish, Nymeria had always had a fascination with Targaryen names, and she named her children after well known Targaryen's. Once again, Rhaegar and his family welcomed her children with a feast. At last, the long awaited son's were born. Nymeria had asked Rhaegar to considered their eldest daughter, Visenya as his heir. That was one of the rare times were the couple could agree to something.

It was well known that Tywin Lannister had not agreed with the match when it was first made. He did not think Nymeria was fit to be the next queen of the seven kingdoms but she remained free spirited. She remained being herself, training when her duties were done, her children were always by her side, even when she trained, Ashara and her most trusted ladies watched over them. Rhaegar respected his wife, despite them not having the best relationship the two respected each other and everything they believed in. Rhaegar knew, that from his blood would come the prince that was promised, but not only his, but his with Nymeria. That part, he did not know.

Nymeria was not the type to worry or loose sleep. But as of late, her dreams did not allow her rest. "Nym?" she heard a voice call her name. "Rhaegar's voice. He had nicknamed her Nym. Shorter for Nymeria. Only him, his mother and Viserys would call her that. On rare occasions Ashara and Arthur but it was rare. She turned to find him behind her. "Are you alright?' he asked, worry laced in his voice. "Of course. I just cannot find sleep" she replied as she turned to face the sea. "What bothers you? May I ask?" he waited for her reply, truly, expecting none. "Do you believe in prophecies?' she asked as he was about to walk away but he stopped.

He turned to face her. "What?' he asked even though he had heard her right the first time, "Do you believe in prophecies?" she asked once again and he nodded. "Yes. I do" he replied. "There is one that plagues my dreams and mind every day" he told her. "The prince that was promised is to come from our blood. The blood of a Martell and the blood of Targaryen" Rhaegar stood dumbfounded. "How do you..." she did not let him finished. "I saw it first when I was only a girl of four. Then, since that day, I see every night. Is rare of me to dream of something else" she told him. "Everyone thinks I am a savage, violent even. But, I am preparing for the Great War. For what is to come. Our daughter, will be trained by me, my brother and Ser Arthur. You as well, if you wish it" he nodded. "She and her brothers and sisters shall defeat the Night King before he crosses the wall" Rhaegar knew then, he was not crazy.

At times he thought perhaps it was that Targaryen madness everyone spoke of about his family. But now he knew, it was real. And his children were to be the ones who saved not only the Seven Kingdoms but the realm too. Rhaegar took a step closer to her and this time she did not step away. "This whole time, we both carried that same burden. Not speaking in fear that neither of us would believe the other" he whisper as she took her face into his hands. "Our line shall prevail. Our children shall sit the throne and protect the realm, and House Targaryen and Martell shall prosper and remained unbowed, unbent, unbroken with fire and blood" she nodded as she leaned to kiss him. Now, with their knowledge, Nymeria and Rhaegar began to form their alliances with others and plan their future, not only theirs but their children's future. Visenya Targaryen was going to be the queen with Aegon Targaryen as her king consort, nothing would come in their way, nothing. She would make sure of it.
