(Third Person POV)
[Dream Sequence Start]
Alyssa entered the room, "I am so sorry I am late!" She said as she rushed over to the couch, "I missed it, didn't I? I feel terrible, Aemma...!"
On the couch, a grown Aemma Arryn was sitting down and holding a babe in her arms as she looked up at her with a smile.
"It is fine, aunt." She said with a chuckle, "I am fine with it."
"Oh, that business in Essos was a pain...." she sighed, "To think that Mereen would be Sylas's target for trading, I am very annoyed now. Are you alone? Where is Viserys?"
"Mother!" a voice called out
Alyssa turned to see a grown Viserys walking up to them, followed by Baelon who had a smile on his face.
"Oh, my boy." Alyssa hugged Viserys who reached her, "Look at you, so full of light. I am so sorry for missing out on your daughter's birth....."
"It's fine." Viserys chuckled, "As long as you are well."
"How was your trip?" Baelon said as he kissed her on the cheek, "I received word from Riktor, he said that there was a conflict brewing over by YiTi and the Duskguard have sent forces to quell it."
Alyssa sighed and sat down, "Oh, those Mereen Nobles..." She said, "I don't understand why Sylas is interested in dealing with Slavers."
"I suppose he intends to free the slaves and convert them." Baelon shrugged, "All while stealing the Slavers' wealth and taking the city for himself. You know how he operates, that boy."
Alyssa looked at Aemma, "Oh my, I am sorry, Aemma." She said, "Can I hold her? My granddaughter?"
"Of course." Aemma said with a smile
"Where is Daella? My other boys?" Alyssa asked as she took the babe in her hands, "I figured they'd be fawning over the little one."
"Daemon is with Rhaella, as usual." Viserys said as he looked at his daughter with a smile, "And Aegon is with Aelora, she wanted to paint him apparently."
"Ah, my beautiful girl has taken to painting." Alyssa smiled as she looked at the babe, "Oh look at her.....so beautiful, Aemma....she looks like you...."
"Thank you, aunt." Aemma said with a chuckle, "I am glad she is healthy...."
"What is her name?" Alyssa asked
"Rhaenyra." Viserys said with a smile
"Princess Rhaenyra." Alyssa said as she leaned in and kissed her cheek, "She will be a beautiful woman when she grows up, I just know it. A delight for the realm...."
Baelon chuckled, "I am sure she will. She is Daella's granddaughter after all." He said, "And well, her mother is also a sweet one."
"T-Thank you, Uncle." Aemma said while blushing, "I hope she grows up to be healthy, that is all I wish for."
"Don't worry, my dear." Viserys said with a chuckle, "It will be fine."
"So, I trust that she won't be the only one?" Alyssa asked with a smile
"We plan on waiting for a bit." Viserys said
"You ought to." Baelon said, "I did tell you to wait on putting a child inside her but you didn't listen."
"Well....." Viserys scratched his cheek
"You know, we are fortunate that Riktor was quite forgiving about this." Baelon said seriously, "And that Father was dismissive about it. But if Drakken were here, he would have punished you severely by now."
"Well, that is why Aunt Maegelle is for!" Viserys exclaimed, "To keep him from doing something terrible!"
"Now now." Alyssa said, "Let us just focus on this moment. My beautiful Rhaenyra, she is amazing. Thank you, Aemma, for giving me a granddaughter so beautiful."
"Of course." Aemma said with a smile, "I.....Father has not seen her yet."
"Aemon?" Baelon asked, "I will go and speak to him, he should be in Dragonstone these days. He is not happy about what happened."
"Hm, before he left, Drakken left a mark on uncle...." Viserys looked down, "Quite the-"
"What's this?" A voice called out, "Mother has returned?"
They turned to see a grown Daemon Targaryen walking up to them, followed by Rhaella, who was holding onto his hand.
"Oh, look at him." Alyssa smirked, "My little Daemon being quite the romantic, taking his betrothed to intimate retreats."
Daemon frowned, "What makes you think that's what happened?"
Rhaella blushed, "Aunt...."
"I know my sons." Alyssa said as the babe was reaching out for her face, "So energetic. At least Daemon can show self-restraint, Viserys."
"Hey...." Viserys frowned
"Where is your brother and sister?" Baelon asked Daemon
"Secret Gardens." Daemon said, "I will send for them, to let them know that Mother has returned."
"Do that." Baelon told him, "And Rhaella, write a letter to your Father, please. I want him to come and meet his granddaughter."
"Of course." Rhaella said, "Mother is with Grandmother, do you want her to come and see Rhaenyra?"
"Mother already saw her, it is okay." Aemma said
"Oh, right." Daemon spoke up, "I should probably tell you guys. On the way back, I saw a Drakkengard convoy approaching the Keep. Judging by the carriage.....it is Her."
"Her?" Baelon asked, "Oh boy, that is trouble. I thought Saera was gonna keep her from bothering us."
Alyssa sighed, "From what Sylas told me...." She started, "She is angry that Vaella ignored her and left for the Citadel."
"And what would she want to do here?" Baelon frowned
"Beats me." Daemon said, "I'd keep my distance from her."
"She's dangerous."

"P-Probable futures.....?" Alyssa asked Alysanne as she sat across from her on the small table, a steaming cup of tea in front of her, "That is what those dreams are?"
Alysanne nodded as she had bags under her eyes, "That is what Drakken tells me." She said softly, "And from the way he speaks about it, he is not responsible for it directly. What we are experiencing are visions of a possible future that happens....."
Alyssa looked at her cup, "It.....could happen..." She asked, "What I dreamt of...."
"My dreams....." Alysanne started, "They are....brutal.....and I do not want them to happen....what were yours about?"
"I...." Alyssa looked at her, "I had a granddaughter."
"A granddaughter?" Alysanne asked with a surprised look on her face
"Yes." She said, "I held her in my arms, she was so beautiful...Baelon and my sons were there....."
"I see." Alysanne said, "Viserys?"
"Yes.' She nodded
"With Rhaenys?" Alysanne asked
"No." Alyssa shook her head, "Aemma."
"Aemma?" Alysanne frowned, "What? She is quite younger than Viserys."
"In the dream, she was very young. No older than 13 or 14....." Alyssa said, "It was quite.....unsettling, now that I think about it. Both Baelon and I scolded him about it....It's....well..."
"I see..." Alysanne said, "Well, something must have happened for that probable future to come to be....and well..."
"What is it?" Alyssa asked her mother
"Drakken mentioned the futures to be some sort of Fate." She said as she looked at the cup in her hands, "And that only he was capable of rewriting said Fate. Perhaps.....the actions he takes are constantly shifting the futures and we are peering into them.....via our Dreams...."
"That...." Alyssa started, "Makes sense...what were your dreams about?"
Alysanne looked at her, "War." She said softly, "Our House falls.....and well.....you don't want to know."
"Oh." Alyssa said softly, "I....did something happen?"
"Tyrian'Cal." Alysanne said as she closed her eyes, "That is all you need to know."
"I don't know what that is." Alyssa said
"Ask your sister about it." The Queen said seriously,
"She might know."
