Meleys

Meleys, “The Red Queen” was a Targaryen dragon born before 75ac and died in 129ac. In 75ac, she was claimed by Princess Alyssa Targaryen, sister-wife to Prince Baelon, mother to King Viserys I and Prince Daemon, and daughter of King Jaehaerys I and Queen Alysanne. Alyssa had mismatched green and violet eyes, a crooked broken nose and dirty blonde hair. Alyssa died in 84ac from childbirth, and Meleys was left riderless. In 87ac, Meleys was claimed by Princess Rhaenys Targaryen, “the queen who never was”. Rhaenys was the wife of Corlys Velaryon and mother to Laena and Laenor. Rhaenys’ parents were Prince Aemon and Lady Jocelyn Baratheon. Rhaenys had black hair and violet eyes. The Princess was named “the queen who never was” as in the Great Council of 101ac, King Jaehaerys ruled in favour of her cousin, Viserys, as his heir, passing her and her son Laenor over. Princess Rhaenys lost both of her children before the Dance started, Laena in childbirth and Laenor by a knight. During the Dance, Rhaenys fought for the Blacks, and held her allegiance to Princess Rhaenyra, after she had been usurped by her younger brother, King Aegon II. Rhaenys went to fight at “The Battle of Rooks Rest” against Prince Aemond riding Vhagar, and King Aegon riding Sunfyre. Meleys managed to injure Sunfyre before her eventual defeat and death. Meleys would go down as one of the many dragon casualties in the Dance of Dragons, which led to the eventual extinguishment of the race of dragons until 298ac.

Princess Rhaenys :
“I should take Meleys and patrol the Gullet myself.”
“You must send me your grace. Meleys is your largest dragon and no stranger to battle. I will meet Cole.”
“Angōs Meleys”
