The lost dragon rider

Chapter 4: mothers intuition

Im sorry for taking so long to update!

But here it is 💁‍♀️

Mysaria pov~

There was something different about Missandei, recently she's had a glow around her that made her even more beautiful . Her face seemed relaxed and lightened.
She knew her daughter was up to something but she couldn't pin it.
Was it a new friend? A lover perhaps?

Her daughter was almost full grown now, her body and manner has matured quickly in the past few months, so the likely hood of Missandei having a secret someone was very high. She was quite attractive too with her soft lavender eyes, long silk hair and sun kissed skin.

She worried about her daughter more than she liked to admit. She worried about her ever since she entered the cruel world.

When Mysaria was pregnant with her daughter she only had a few friends who helped her through that journey. Many people knew who the child's father was, it was well known that she was Daemons whore, she's been Daemons companion for many years and although she knew he would've been a good father, she didn't want her daughter to be tied down with the label bastard.

She didn't want to be known as the prince's whore anymore, and she didn't want her daughter to deal with the toxicity of royal blood. That life she had was long gone but she knew her daughter would want answers at some point. She didn't hide who Missandei's father was, in fact she wanted her daughter to be educated and smart, the thought of raising a naive child was almost more scary than the labor it self.

She also knew Missandei would sneak off and try to enter the castle, at first she was beyond furious. How could her girl be so stupid but after some deep thinking she realized at the time Missandei was only a girl who wished she had a father.

She never told her daughter that she knew but it was an unknown compromise. As long as Missandei didn't get caught, was careful, and didn't seek answers from her father she will answer all her wonders and even teach her High Velaryian . It was the least she could do.

She also often worried about her daughters social life. Recently Missandei has been sneaking off early morning which was unusual. She knew her daughter would sneak off at night which at the time made sense. The kingdom was busy at night but everyone was too drunk to remember, even if they did see a silver haired girl roaming through the streets.

missandeis only real friend was a red head that worked for her mother as a spy in the kingdom. Other than that she knew her daughter had little interaction with others. It was mainly her fault, she didn't want her daughter to be around people not because she hated her daughter or didn't care about her but the fear for both of their lives.
Her mother only trusted one person, and that was herself.

It was a week ago when missandeis demeanor started to change.
She remembered her daughter coming home late morning her face flushed and eyes wide.

She wanted to ask her if something happened but she also knew if she questioned her daughter it would only make her shut in. She was so stubborn...she definitely got it from her father.

A week ago~

Missandei-

Missandei was surprised she said yes, at first she was going to deny the prince's ridiculous offer but then again it's a dragon.

She always wanted to ride a dragon, maybe because she read books about them all her life or maybe because she knew some part of her would have had a dragon if her mother stayed with Daemon. She heard rumors how the prince stole rhaenyra's dead brothers egg and was going to give it to her mothers fake baby, but only if he had known there actually was a little someone inside.

"Stay close, she won't hurt you" Aemond whispered as they entered the dragons den.

Missandei gasped. she stared up at Vhagar. Vhagar was enormous, her bronze greenish eyes scanned Missandei up and down. She flared her nostrils and she stretched her long neck towards the two.

Aemond brought up his hand, "Vhagar it's okay. This is..." he looked at Missandei and frowned. "You can't expect her to let you on if you don't tell us your name now."

At the moment she didn't care what Aemond knew, she just wanted to touch the dragon.
She brought up her hand that looked like an ant next to Vhagar, "Missandei" she whispered and walked closer to the giant.

Vhagar flared her nostrils again but leaned in and allowed her to place her hand on Vhagars snout.

Aemond looked at Missandei his eyes softened, "Missandei..." he whispered, "what a beautiful name."

Aemond-

One nice thing about having such a large dragon was no one could see who was riding it. obviously people would know it was him but no one would be able to see the girl beside him.

He was surprised that he even suggested that she ride his dragon but he also wasn't stupid. He knew she must be a bastard, if anyone's bastard it was Daemon. He assumed she would say no, most people are scared of Vhagar but then again, if she was a true Targaryen then the desire to be a dragon rider was within her too.

"Are you ready?" He helped her adjust to the straps so she wouldn't fall off. She sat in front of him her slender fingers gripped the reins.
She nodded and just stared at Vhagars scales.
He smirked and leaned over, his chest pressed against her back and his arms slithered past her waist to grab the ropes.

"Aemond I--"

Before she could finish Vhagar roared and shot up in the air.

The sun creeped over the horizon as Vhagar soared in the sky.
Missandeis eyes gleamed and she turned her face looking at Aemond.

"This is amazing!" She yelled with a bright smile.
He felt his heart pound and something else harden.
He looked away his ears turning slightly pink.

"Most girls are scared of dragons."
"I'm not."

"I know." He smiled.

Missandei-

On her way home she couldn't stop thinking about what had just happened. His eyes never left her, his breath just inches away from her ear and his hands just hovering over her waist.

What was wrong with her? Why was she feeling these emotions ? She never would have thought she would be riding a dragon...riding a dragon with a prince.

After they flew with Vhagar he helped her down and told her she should sneak out through the back tunnels if she doesn't want to be caught.

He seemed flustered and he was quiet.
All he did was give her a strange look and said "I hope to see you again Missandei." And walked off as if they didn't just have the most intense interaction.

Maybe he does this  with other girls but she also had a feeling this was different

She opened the door slowly and tip toed inside, "where were you?" Her mother asked.

She jumped up surprised to see her mother standing in the middle of the room, she didn't look annoyed but she didn't look happy.

"I was on a stroll."

Her mother didn't say anything but Missandei knew that she didn't believe her. "You can tell me things you know?"

"Tell you what?"

"Anything? If you ever have a problem or anything good or bad..."

"Why would there be anything bad?"

"Mothers intuition."
