Chapter Text
𝐒𝐘𝐍𝐎𝐏𝐒𝐈𝐒
With a spell gone wrong, Cressida Black's life was cut short just as she was beginning to live freely. Yet, she is given a second chance at life. Reborn as Aurelia Martell, youngest child of the Princess of Dorne and her second husband, she quickly realizes this new world is no less dangerous than the one she first lived in.
She's a Princess of the single remaining independent kingdom in Westeros and that means she must be on constant guard. Yet, she knew her house would survive, she knew her house would proper. Her house words ensured as much. Once, they had been Toujours Pur, yet now it was Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken. And so they would remain. They would survive, no matter what. Where other houses had lions and bears as their sigils, they had a speared sun which was twice as deadly. What killed others would not kill them.
And, Aurelia clutched those thoughts close to her heart when Ilaria Martell's heart stopped beating and she was given to the Mother Rhoyne. Her tether to safety was gone, but she would not let herself be subdued by it. In another life she'd been born a Black and now she was a Martell, a princess. She'd ensure she thrived, while still honoring her mother.
When her eldest brother sends her to court and she is scorned for her ways, she remembers that Martells survive where others die. When the Hand suggests she is not suitable company for the Princess or for the Queen, she reminds herself that a sun and spear are far more deadly than any Tower and that she wields more power than any second son of a vassal house might have.
And, as she is called home by her brother and told the reason is marriage to the Rogue Prince, she reminds herself that the Martells have already triumphed over the Targaryens before.
The sun is more lethal than any dragon and she intends to make sure her husband remembers that.
