   Summary

   "Aemma Arryn, by her own estimation, was roughly to the midway point of her labours when she began to suspect that something may have been wrong."

   *

   Aemma Arryn refuses to die in her birthing bed. Distraught and enraged by the lengths Viserys was prepared to go in his fruitless venture for a son, she decides enough is enough. Willingly or not, she had married Viserys, she was the Queen Consort of the Seven Kingdoms, she was the blood of the dragon and now it was time for her to step into the flames. After all, fire cannot kill a dragon...it will only make them angry.
