Dracona spent four days locked inside of her room. She didn't let anyone inside and had the maids leave food at her door. She would sneak out to train and climb back through her window before she would sulk again before going to bed. However she made the terrible decision of keeping her window opened.
Rhaenys snuck in and woke her up one morning. When Dracona woke up and saw her grandsir's cousin she hid her face under the covers. Rhaenys sighed before yanking the covers off of the young she-dragon. Dracona then used her arms to shield her head.
"Stop! There is nothing wrong with you. I was merely shocked that Laenor had a daugher."
"You weren't that shocked until I smiled. Admit it you hate the way I look."
"No child. There's a theory. That all Targaryen's start out as dragon eggs in our mothers stomach and evolve into human forms. I was merely shocked that you proved that theory correct." Rhaenys said. "You are beautiful."
"Really?"
"Really." Rhaenys said. Dracona hugged her tightly and smiled at her. Rhaenys talked to the girl and informed her that Jacaerys had covinced their mother to send her sons as messengers. Dracona immediately jumped up and started packing up. Jacaerys she got but she had to look over Lucerys. Running down the stairs the ran to where the dragons were.

"WAIT. I'm here. Don't go yet I'm here!" Dracona said. She dramatically started to wheeze and catch her breath. "I'll go with Lucerys to the Storm lands."
"No absolutely not!" Rhaenyra said protectively. However Dracona had already begun packing her luggage onto Princess. "Dracona stop!"
"I'm sorry mother but I can't. Something is telling me that Lucerys is gonna get himself into trouble like always. I need to go. Don't worry. I have my sword, by bow and arrows, daggers, my spell books, and I packed up some fruit and a few outfits. I will be fine." Dracona said. Rhaenyra took a deep breath and hugged her daughter close. She knew that she had to let her go, but Rhaenyra wasn't ready. Daemon gently pulled Rhaenyra back and nodded towards Dracona.
Dracona mounted her dragon and nodded at her brothers. Blowing a kiss to her parents the three took of with Jacaerys going one direction and Lucerys and Dracona going another.
Dracona and Lucerys had to ride in a storm. When they got to Storms End and landed they both slid off their dragons. Dracona tightened her weapons on her body. This was the first time she was showing herself without covering up her dragon features. She spotted another dragon of massive size flying above them. Her usual silly demeanor melted away and was replaced by one of seriousness.
"Stay close to me Luke!" Dracona said. The two walked into the castle upon Storm's End. Dracona nodded to Lucerys letting him take the lead.
"My Lord, we have come as messengers to remind you of your oath to the Targaryens and the Iron Throne's true Heir!" Lucerys spoke valiantly, with a voice of courage despite the fear that shook through him.
Borros's laughter rocked through the air. "Oath? True Heir? You mean that incestuous whore who can't keep her legs tucked under her skirt?" Lord Baratheon cackled.
Dracona's more animalistic nature started to come out as anger coursed through her veins. The dragon princess hissed quietly trying to keep her composure. Lucerys looked at his sister and shook his head. Dracona quieted herself and settled for giving the man a frightening glare.
"Who is this woman?" Borros demanded.
"This is Princess Dracona. Queen Rhaenyra's firstborn child and First of her name." Lucerys said.
"Is that whore so desperate she spread her legs for one of those beast!" Borros said. Dracona closed her eyes and groaned as her body started shaking and she tried to suppress the bloodlust she felt for the man disrespecting her mother. Dracona felt her magic trying to break free. She held her hands over her ears at the sound of Lord Baratheon and his daughters laughing and mocking her and her mother.
"Pity. If it weren't for those beastly features of yours I would consider you pretty." Borros spat at the dragon princess.
"Go outside sister. Get some air!" Lucerys said. Dracona looked at him and back at Lord Borros and his daughter. Running outside the rain and fresh air soothed her. Arrax and Princess both showed their concern for the girl. Even Vhagar swooped down feeling the girls distress.
"I'm fine. Don't worry for me." Dracona said. Once she calmed down she walked gracefully back inside. Standing next to Lucerys she stood with a blank face.
"If I were to join Rhaenyra what would I get in return. Which of my daughters would you marry?"
"I am not up for marriage as I am already betrothed. I am just here as a messenger." Lucerys said.
"At least with the Greens they had offered their dragons as protection and a marriage proposal."
"The Greens only have 3 dragons. We have six dragon riders and all of the dragons on Dragonstone. Who do you think is more powerful?" Dracona said. "We will let you think about it."
Lucerys and Dracona turned to leave before they heard a noise.
"Wait." They both heard a familiar voice. Turning around they saw the one eyed prince with a sour heart. "You think I would allow you to prance around the Kingdom trying to steal the Throne from my brother?"Aemond said.
"We did not come here to fight, Uncle, we simply came as messengers." Lucerys told his elder uncle. Though the long haired prince seemed not to care.
"And a messenger you shall be. I want you to give your mother a message from mine." Aemond said. Reaching up he removed his leather eye patch to reveal a sapphire of the bluest shade. To Dracona it was very pretty. "Put out your eye. Either one, whichever you least prefer. A gift to my mother from yours, we'll say." Aemond threw his dagger toward Lucerys and everyone watched as it clattered on the ground.
"He owes you nothing!" Dracona said.
"What did you say girl?"
"You said it yourself. 'Don't mourn me mother. I may have lost an eye but I gained a dragon. It's a fair exchange.' Those were your own words. A fair exchange. Therefore my brother's debt was already paid when you claimed a dragon from under my families nose all those years ago." Dracona said reminding Aemond of what he said after the incident occurred.
Aemond furiously marched forward towards the pair.
"Take out your eye or I will take it out for you bastard!" Aemond yelled.
"Not in my home! If bloodshed is to be spilled than take it outside!" Lord Borros said. Dracona rushed Lucerys outside and the two mounted their dragons. Unknowingly about to be thrown into the pivoting spot where the Dance of Dragons truly changed.
Meanwhile Helaena is at the Red Keep and started muttering another riddle.
A dragon dies, a dragon is born. Blood tainted with death takes a rest. Two souls unite in a undergoing war, the bond of the dragon is never torn.
