Rhae's pov:
Robb came back after sending the soldier to warn the camp, i could tell by the look on his face he was extremely nervous "Robb you don't have to ride with me if you don't want to, I can just meet you there" he gave me a nervous smile as he replied "I mean I usually wouldn't do something so crazy with someone I barely know but when else would I have an experience like this" "well if that's your answer then let's go" as I said the last few words I turned around and started climbing up Balerion as he was still laying down beside me. "Rhae how do I climb up?" I stretched out a hand "here I'll help you up" I said with a giggle, once he was up I could tell he still had no clue what to do "sit behind me, wrap your arms around me and grab onto some of his horns" it was extremely uncomfortable but it's the safest way for him to on here.

As he put his arms around me I could feel the heat radiating off him, all I felt like I should do was lean back but I had to subconsciously tell myself that it was a bad idea.

Once his hands gripped onto the horns in front of me I spoke to Balerion " Soves", once he heard the word he knew all to well he stood up and took a few steps before leaping into the air, from behind me I could feel Robb clench up, it gave me a feeling of I guess excitement because I'm one of the only people alive who can ride a dragon without any fear.
"are you alright Robb?" I turned my head to face him a little better he gave me a nod before speaking up "I'm fine it's just making me nervous being this high off the ground" I tried to give him a smile that I hoped would comfort him " we will be fine don't worry I trust Balerion with my life"

"So you named him after Balerion the black dread? Is it because of his colour?"
He asked, I could tell he was completely interested and not at all just trying to make conversation "I guess in a way yes but I also have a feeling he will grow to be quite large as well, his brother Vermithor is a little smaller then him and they were born only a couple minutes apart" he's eyes widen "so you have two dragons? That's incredible"

"Yes I have two dragons I also have another egg that I haven't hatched yet,
I might hatch it soon." I turned back around to see how far we were as we had been flying for a couple minutes already "could I happen to be there when you hatch it?" "Hmm... maybe I have to walk into the fire as well so I don't think northerners would take very well to that, I did it last time after a battle as there was bodies to burn off" "then next battle we have we shall do the same thing"

I smiled even though he couldn't see my face because I could tell he wasn't really thinking about what he had said but it just told me he planned for me to stay around long enough to see another battle "if that would please you then I am happy to do that"

Time skip: third pov

It had been about 10 minutes since they last spoke but by now the camp had come into view.

Just before they flew over it Rhae leaned forward and yelled over the wind "Tegun" (land) making Balerion begin his descend, they had cleared a area of the outskirts of Robbs camp to make room for Balerion, not that the soldiers or his advisers really believed the so called Rhaenyra Targaryen brought back dragons, they would just have to see it for themselves.
