Brotherly Bonds: Shadows of Legacy

a starter with @princeviserystargaryen00

Lucerys stared at the board. His fingers hovered over the board, but as he looked down upon the Cyvasse pieces before him, he found he wasn’t seeing just the game anymore. He looked up to the figure across from him, the fire in the hearth casting shadows across Viserys’s face, turning his younger brother’s place features into something sharper, looking like fire was bringing out little echoes of Daemon that existed within the boy. 

“All these marriages,” Lucerys said, his voice low almost to himself, returning his eyes to the board. “Jace and Baela, and now new ravens coming in of new unions cross the Kingdoms. It’s like watching prices on a board being moved by someone else’s hand. I know Jace and Baela are happy, but how much of it was choice? Did any of the others have say or where they just moved around?”

He slid his dragon forward but paused, his gaze lifting again to Viserys. It had been a while since either of them had spoken, outside of sighs or sounds of victory, as the two had been focused on the game. Lucerys knew Viserys was thinking, always thinking. It was growingly impossible to know what lay behind his eyes, so much complex and sharp then the young child that Lucerys could still easily remember. 

“Do you think they’ll decide for us too?” Lucerys continued, his voice tightening with the thought. “One day, are they going to tell me who to marry? For Driftmark, or legacy, or power.”

The words lingered, and Lucerys shifted uncomfortably, realizing that perhaps he should not be putting this worrying over the future on his younger brother, particularly one that had only known parents of a love match.  He had always known his parents cared for each other, but it was as he grew and watched his mother with Daemon that he could see the difference between loving someone, and being in love with someone. It made him wonder which kind of match he would have.

He glanced down at the board, but his mind was far from the game. Driftmark had always been his future, but there were days when questioned what that would mean. 

“Sometimes I think I haven’t yet seen even half of what I’m supposed to so I can one day rule,” he added softly. “I love the sea, but what do I really know of ruling Driftmark?”

He could feel the weight of his brother’s silence and looked up again, searching Viserys’s face for something, for anything that might hint at what he was thinking. "Do you ever wonder about your future, Viserys?" Lucerys asked, his voice barely above a whisper. "What they will expect from you?”

The fire crackled behind them, the only sound in the chamber, as Lucerys’s question hung in the air between them.

In Greek, a martyr is simply a witness. A martyr is a person who makes it clear what they believe. Any Christians who publicly acknowledged that they were followers of Jesus were ‘martyrs’.

In the earliest centuries of Christendom, such believers were persecuted, and if captured could suffer ‘red martyrdom’: their blood would be spilt, by the sword, by a wild beast, or by crucifixion.
