Chapter Text

Daemon

Daemon removed caraxes saddle freeing him of all the confines as he had freed himself and flew in the dead of the night
Caraxes was silent while leaving the dragon pit and kings landing. Daemon could not be more grateful for the mega bond, they travelled far and flew for several hours with caraxes chirping happily, they landed on a small abandoned island Daemon had found years ago
Daemon slid down his beloved dragon, lit a little fire and opened his little sack, there were the jewellery pieces of his mother, the dagger his father gifted him, a letter from his grandmother, a sweater that Rhaenys sewed for him, a book on Valyria he asked Viserys to bring him and a small family portrait, he was falling apart, being away from family was not easy but he had to move in the direction he has set foot on, caraxes could feel his Rider's despair and let out a pained shriek, Daemon got up and laid his forehead next to Caraxes snout and said " I know my personification I'll always have you as you'll have me till the end of my days " he rested there for few minutes and brought his food sac and started eating and then slept looking forward to tomorrow

In the morning he thought about where to head next, he knew he can't go to Lys, Pentos or Volantis as those would be the first places to be searched by his family if they thought of looking for him, he knew Rhaenys would and she would be very angry with him but he'll make it up to her soon after settling down, then he decided to go to Astapor

After a 6 day flight with short breaks he reached Astapor , e knew what slavery was but what he saw there terrorized his soul and then he decided

No one will be in chains , I'll free them as i have freed myself

 

King's landing

The city was not the same without the Prince of the city , neither the royal family nor the smallfolk could feel exultation in the absence of their beloved Prince.
Prince Baelon went numb and couldn't ask for anything other than forgiveness from his late wife for failing her beloved son , the Queen couldn't look in the eyes of his son and was in a state of mourning, the King tried keeping everything together but was failing miserably both physically and mentally because of the tremendous losses, Viserys felt Daemon's loss like a limb, feeling vulnerable without Daemon to protect him , Aemma too blamed herself for not understanding her cousin, Rhaenys stopped talking to all the family and shun them altogether, she looked like she has aged 10 years after Daemon's disappearance, she didn't even inform the contents of the letter she received a moon after Daemon's disappearance just telling them he is well and alive
The smallfolk were lamenting and there was never a time seen before when the smallfolk were so affected by the mechanics of the royalty
