I: 𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐒𝐧𝐠

Looked so alive, turns out I'm not real
╭──╯
ΰ©ˆβœ©β€§β‚ŠΛš Truth is people think I imagine things.

"Look, I didn't want to be a half-blood." Alkmini v.o said as it shows thunder rumbling. "Being a half-blood is dangerous. It's scary. Most of the time it gets you killed, in painful, nasty ways." Alkmini v.o said as rousing instrumental music playing and the thunder still rumbling.

"Is she dead yet? No I really don't think so." Otto said clearly annoyed she got a second chance in life. "I advise you not to speak unless you want to end like a certain someone." Daemon said clearly looking at Aemond at the last part.

"You would do no such thing!" Alicent yelled as Rhaenyra glared at her. "You would do no such thing Alicent. Aegon isn't going to be king, it's going to be my TRUE heir Rhaenyra." Viserys said as Otto looked horrified.

"My king Aegon is your-"

"First born son but Rhaenyra is my FIRST child not Aegon, Aemond, Daeron, and my darling Helaena."

"If you think you might be one of us, my advice is to turn away while you still can, because once you know what you are...they’ll sense it too and they’ll come for you." Alkmini v.o said as a figure walk up to the screen.

"Don’t say I didn’t warn you." Alkmini v.o said as she was on the side of the screen up close with a betrayed look on her face. It also seems like she has been crying of some sort.

"What's wrong with my baby?" Rhaenyra asked genuinely scared for a reason. "The one she called a friend and the one who she calls a crush will betray her." Helaena whispered.

"Many things your highness." Balerion said as he felt Otto so called glare at him. "My daughter is the queen-" Otto didn't get to finish as Balerion shushed him.

"Your daughter is no queen. Look what she put Helaena through a loveless marriage and nobody to listen to her prophecies about the future." Balerion stated.

"Another thing is that Rhaenyra was already named heir before Aegon was born. So truthfully that doesn't mean that he was heir." Balerion said glaring at Otto.

"I also wasn't the one trying to kill the king by giving him poison because he wanted his grandson to become king." Balerion finished as he smiled watching Otto getting yelled at and getting a death sentence.

It hit the title card. "My name is Alkmini Jackson." Alkmini v.o said the title card faded all the way. "I’m twelve years old." Her v.o said as the screen was black. "Am I a troubled kid?" Her v.o asked as it cut to a hall.

"Yes my darling you are." Daemon said as many people did agree. Maybe there was a reason for that not that many people would know she's always closed herself off.

"Yeah, you could say that. Bad grades, bullies, all the normal stuff." Her v.o said as it shows a man running and he sees a kid looking at the window and he runs to look out.

Daemon looked scary when he's mad so everyone back off from him. But more people hurry up and say somewhere else because Rhaenyra can be much worse.

"And then there’s some other stuff." Her v.o said as a door was shut close with a bang. "Some stuff that’s...maybe not so normal." Her v.o said as a man is running up the stairs and some epic instrumental music starts playing.

"What is wrong?" Aegon drunkenly asked. "Why would you ask?" Alicent blindly asked. "Because he is running? Something must be wrong." Helaena said looking at her mother like she's dumb.

It shows the man making it to the roof and looking at a young Alkmini who is looking forward near the end of the balcony. He started running towards her while Alkmini v.o started talking.

"That’s me, back in second grade. Why was I up there?" Her v.o said as the man ran up to her and gently grabbed her shoulders to get her back inside. "I saw something." Her v.o said as the screen went up.

"Lies." Otto whispered. "It wasn't lies Otto Hightower maybe you need some glass because my daughter never lies." Daemon called Otto out. Alicent couldn't do anything because her father was already getting a death sentence.

"At least...I could have sworn I saw something."Β  Her v.o said as the scene shifted to the right and it shows a Pegasus walking up and spreading its wings and neighs.

Everyone gasps not scared but in amazement.

"When you say something like that, you wind up in this guy’s office. Good news, he’s saying there’s nothing to worry about." Her v.o said as it shows the principal scolding her lightly and holding up a paper.

"It’s all in my imagination, but if it happens again, make sure to tell someone." Her v.o said as it went to her face who was just not caring. It then went to another scene as she was at lunch and she suddenly looked out the window.

"Mood." Baela said as her twin agreed.

"It happened again. These impossible things that felt like they walked right out of the stories my mom always told me." Her v.o said as it went to an elephant (?) wearing something on them.

"So real one minute, and then the next…" Her v.o said as it went to her face then it went to show that it was a truck. "What a loser." One of the boys said passing by her. "Hey, fellas, wanna come hear about the imaginary stuff I see?" Her v.o said sarcastically.

"I will murder them." Aemond said as team black looked at him like he lost another eye. "What!" Rhaena yelled out glaring at him. "You kill our sister and-" Baela couldn't finish her sentence as she wanted to get up and kill him.

"Calm down. I know she is enjoying this drama but so am I but just calm down." Balerion said asΒ  they started to calm down but still glaring at Aemond.

"It’s not a thing you wanna be saying, to anyone, so I didn’t." Her v.o said as her face was sad and it went to her drawing. "Then...something changed." Her v.o said as it went to her multiple drawings and a card was slapped on the table.

"I met Grover. We had a lot in common." Her v.o said as they were smiling and laughing at each other. "Only he-". Her v.o didn't finish as some bookbag slapped on Grover's face and they started laughing.

"Poor boy." Rhaenys said sadly as Corlys rubbed her shoulders.

"Mmmm." Grover said in a little bit of pain as Alkmini was about to stand up Grover made a movement that he was fine.

"And not just because we were both at the bottom of the food chain." Her v.o said as she looked at Grover to make sure, sure, he was okay.

"You are not at the bottom." Corlys said. He knows what she is capable of even in her new life. Even though he cannot see her in the near future he hopes that she can be loved without any arranged marriages.

"And you know what? It felt good to talk about these things with Grover." Her v.o said as she calmed down. "I could almost believe they were imaginary." Her v.o said as it went to a picture of a minotaur.

"Weird, but harmless." Her v.o said as the picture of the minotaur went down to show it was wearing underpants. The screen then went to a long shot and people were chatting and laughing while Alkmini and Grover were one of them.

"So cute." The twins gushed over them. "I'm glad she has a friend." Rhaenyra said as she felt happy but did give Alicent a quick glare.

"Until the day that changed, too." Her v.o said as it went to a shot of the city. "Until the day one of them decided to come for me." Her v.o said.

"She would love right...." Rhaenyra asked heart beating with tears in her eyes. She looks at Balerion who nods telling her that she would survive.

It then went to a busy street. Then the music concludes, as they hear indistinct chatter, and lastly distant siren wailing.

Otto decided to plan something in his head and he would think would take out all team black. But he didn't know that his plan would backfire knowing his death sentence, and not knowing Balerion reading his mind.

'Let's see how much you mess up Hightower because you're taking your daughter down with you.' Balerion said in his head as he smiled at the thought of them dead and then out of his presence.
