⠀⠀⠀⠀Virion became a true Targaryen when he was three months old. Swaddled tightly to his mother's front, he rode with her atop Xadras across the Blackwater Bay. She kept one hand gripped on the saddle handle and allowed her child to fist his tiny fingers around one of hers on the other hand. His violet eyes remained open and curious the entire trip. They eagerly shifted between looking up at his mother and out in the distance at the other two glorious winged serpents flying with them.

⠀⠀⠀⠀The she-dragon sailed through the air steadily, while the he-dragons, much younger in age, darted in all directions. They twisted and turned around one another, partaking in playful fights as any other animals of nature did in youth, until the ash-green dragon swooped downwards. Gaelithox spent most of the flight skimming the sea, his slender body leaving foamy currents in his wake. Dieghar flanked them on the right, his magnificent amber scales catching the sunlight.

⠀⠀⠀⠀Gaelithox turned, heading in the direction in which they came from. He was going to circle around the small company of ships sailing back to Kings Landing with the princess and her son. She had ordered him to protect the fleet. He may be young, but his fire could reduce any navy to smoldering wooden planks, especially since there was nowhere for enemies to hide in the open water. Dieghar remained, providing a sense of security to the mother as he acted as extra protection for her child.
