She thrived in the winter. The colder, the better, to be honest. One thing she couldn’t comprehend—which, to be fair, there are a lot of things she cannot comprehend at such a young age—is why her mother seemed to miss a tropical kingdom so much. The idea of living close to a volcano sounded vile; her frost scales nearly started to melt at the very thought.
It’s why Adriana shouldn’t be at all shocked to discover that her daughter had disappeared to play in the snow during the night, and even less surprised that she had convinced her twin brother to tag along. Alicent liked to think that their parents had no idea where they were; it was far more fun this way, to imagine that this empty meadow was all their own, rather than acknowledging that both parents had known exactly when they crept off, and exactly where they went.
“Look!” She pauses midstep during whatever game she had been playing with her brother, watching the two orbs that flickered and twirl above the fresh powder of snow. She stands for a moment, transfixed, before bounding away from Atreus without a second thought, following one of the glinting balls of light. It’s pure chance that when she leaps forward in a sudden burst she manages to knock the light down with her hoof, and with an eager pounce she pins it to the ground. “I got one!” she squeals in triumph, looking around to see what had happened to her twin.
