Ice and Fire: The Prince and the Dragon

Rhaegar Targaryen.

The Silver Prince, son of the Mad King, brother of the Beggar King and the Mother of Dragons, and the last true dragon.

His life ended too soon on the riverbank named after the ruby ​​on his breastplate, like "stars weeping blood" during a "wrong spring".

People couldn't even tell which side of the coin he was—"Whenever a Targaryen was born, the gods would toss a coin."

Will he become the wise king people expect, inheriting the Seven Kingdoms conquered by his ancestors? Or will he become the next Mad King, as he did in his final act of taking Lyanna Stark away and igniting the War of the Seven Kingdoms?

Westeros made the Targaryens what they were, and it made this middle-class dragonflight family, a freehold in Valyria, what it was.

But perhaps Westeros also ruined them.

His descendants were trapped in Westeros—the edge of the known world, this vast, isolated island.

The Targaryens, riding dragons, should have been the freest people in the world.

But that ugly iron chair, like a child holding a kite string, easily caught the last real dragon.

The giant dragons were trapped in a cage-like dragon's lair, and the true dragons were trapped in the stinking King's Landing.

Perhaps, the title of Conqueror could be followed by "Second," there could be two Mothers of Dragons, "Cruel Mago" could become "Heavy Mago," the Blackfire sword would no longer be pointed at Westeros, and Valyria's glory would no longer be confined to the Citadel of Ancients.

Perhaps, A Song of Ice and Fire could be even grander.
