The gods summoned my ancestor, Aegon the Conqueror to the Seven Kingdoms to unite a fractured realm beneath one banner of black and red. They named him Protector of the World of Men. His duty, to shield it from an ancient and sinister darkness that looms in the far North beyond the Wall, beyond the lands of winter. And only the might of dragons can stand against it. The Conqueror passed this sacred charge to his chosen descendants, to the Old King, Jaehaerys, then to my father, then to me. The Hightower line cannot fulfill this prophecy. If your world is to survive I must light the way. Because I am the Shield of the People. I am Rhaenyra the Chosen. I am the Prince That Was Promised.
