Lestat: I am an unreliable narrator. I love to lie.

I can see that you don’t understand the importance of the Amethyst Empress myth being mirrored in Rhaenyra’s story via the female heiress being usurped and killed by her younger brother. It’s not some random occurrence that most dragons were born during Rhaenyra’s lifetime and her death ended the magic that made the dragons flourish. The dragon births coincide with Rhaenyra’s own blooming fertility and in the end Rhaenyra’s bloodline prevails against her usurpers. Rhaenyra’s life represents the height of Targaryen power and her death ended the dragons just as the Amethyst Empress could’ve brought a new dawn to the Great Empire but instead her death caused the Long Night. The Amethyst Empress had no bloodline to survive her so that’s why the Long Night happened. The survival of Rhaenyra’s bloodline is important precisely because of the role they will play in ending the Long Night.
