Dragons have three... no, dragons have four heads! I am a descendant of the [Lord of the Star Deep], the mortal incarnation of the [Shepherd of the Sun], son of Aerion Targaryen of House Targaryen and Valerian of House Velaryon, lord of Dragonstone, younger brother of Aegon the Conqueror, and beloved of House Targaryen. I am the slayer of [corruption], the enemy of [fallen], the walker of [fire song], the harpist of [the song of men]. I am the [herder of dragons], the [priest of dragons], the [lord of dragons], the [rider of the sun]. Those who come after me, remember my name: Rhaegon Targaryen. So it was in the scribbled words. He is my brother, my arm, my heart, my shield, my sword, my sun. So it was in the neat, majestic words, followed by the beautiful handwriting: He is our brother, our dearest one. My beloved. So it was in the sharp words. He is a cruel executioner, a sinister black wizard, an enemy of the church, a heretic, a destroyer of nations, a villain, a bloodthirsty man, a heartless man, a ruthless man, a vulture deserving of the gallows, a barbarian, a devil despised by the Seven Gods... (some curse words omitted below) The secret tome says so. Prequel to the House of Dragons, the story of the Bloody Century - The War of Conquest - The War of the Church
