As darkness descends upon the Stepstones, the Triarchy and the Targaryen forces lock in a fierce skirmish. The skies ignite with the fiery breath of Caraxes, ridden by the cunning Daemon Targaryen. Vermithor, the mighty dragon once ridden by King Jaehaerys, emerges from the shadows, unleashing a torrent of flames upon the enemy.

Amidst the chaos, tragedy strikes in the form of Luke Velaryon, the second-born son of Rhaenyra Targaryen. As he soars above the battle on his dragon, Arrax, he is ambushed by the treacherous Aemond Targaryen, upon the monstrous Vhagar. In a heart-wrenching moment, the young prince and his dragon are consumed by Vhagar's fiery onslaught.

The loss of Luke sends shockwaves through the realm. Rhaenyra vows revenge, her heart torn apart by the murder of her son. Daemon, consumed by grief and rage, seeks justice for the fallen prince. As the war rages on, the dragons of both sides take to the skies, unleashing their fiery wrath upon the combatants below.

Viserys I, the aging King of Westeros, lies bedridden in King's Landing, oblivious to the unfolding conflict. His health dwindles, and his grip on the throne becomes tenuous.

As night falls, a great meteor streaks across the sky, casting an eerie glow upon the battlefield. Rhaenyra, Daemon, and Alicent gather around the King's bedside, their faces etched with worry and uncertainty. Viserys, in his final moments, utters the enigmatic words, "Aegon... he must be... the king."

The realm of Westeros trembles on the cusp of civil war. The death of Luke Velaryon has ignited a fire that will consume the kingdom. The struggle for the Iron Throne intensifies, and as the dragons soar high above, the fate of the realm hangs in the balance.
