Dance with Dragonfire

Dragon hatching

Laela & Daemon's family apartments, Maegor's Holdfast

131 AC

"Hello, darling." Laela smiled when she saw her granddaughter.

Leila Potter hadn't lived long enough to see grandchildren. She had left her son with Fred, Charles Potter an orphan at the age of ten, in the care of Amelia Bones, who survived her assassination attempt.

"Grandma!" Viserra smiled brightly, toddling over. Laela picked the four year old up with ease.

"Are you leaving soon?" the youngest member of the line of Daemon Targaryen and Laela Velaryon asked.

"Yes." the Silver Lady confirmed. She felt horribly for Viserra—Shaera had been at Driftmark since 130 AC while Aelyx hadn't seen his daughter since 129 AC. "But your mother is going to be back soon, and Grandfather as well. Your aunts and uncles will look after you as well. Aunt Rhaenyra and Uncle Laenor will look after you, and you have all your cousins here as well, as well as Cousin Helaena and her children."

Viserra was good friends with Jaehaera, Jaehaerys, and Maelor. Little Daena Targaryen, Rhaenyra and Laenor's youngest child, would be there as well with Baela, Baelor, and Rhaena.

Daena had been born in 118 AC, a maid of three and ten. She rode Shrykos, who had turquoise scales, gold horn, spines, claws, and eyes, and dark turquoise wing membranes.

The two spent a few minutes playing together, Rhaena and Baela joining in as well to entertain their niece, when they heard a crack.

"Did your egg just crack?" Rhaena said.

Viserra was off like a shoot to her egg, which was kept a heater next to the fire. A large crack had appeared at the top of the egg.

"I want them to be here to see it!" Viserra demanded.

Laela smiled and reached out to the Targaryens currently in the Red Keep with her mental claws. Everyone, Viserra's egg is hatching.

Rhaena had gotten Shaera on a projector, along with Aelyx. It broke Laela's heart they weren't able to physically be there to see a momentous occasion for their daughter.

Baelor, Aemma, Rhaenyra, Aemon, Daemon, Helaena, Daena, Jaehaerys, Maelor, Jaehaera, and surprisingly, Daeron, all made it. It was evening and court was over, so the royals had time.

Maelor, Jaehaerys, Jaehaera, and Viserra curled up together while the adults and older children sat on chairs.

Maelor's own indigo and ash colored egg had hatched into the she dragon Nyx a year ago, while Jaehaerys had claimed a two year old frost blue and silver scaled drake named Gaelithox, and Jaehaera had a three year old opalescent scaled and pink winged drake named Venus.

They spent an hour watching the egg, for it would be the newest hatchling, until the egg shattered and the newborn (or was it new hatched?) hatchling stood before them. The tiny hatchingly was beautiful and could give Sunfyre a run for his money.

The tiny hatchling had pearlescent white scales, silver wing membranes, pink eyes, white horns and spines, and silver claws.

"What's her name, darling?" Aelyx inquired.

"Starsinger." Viserra smiled as Starsinger roared a tiny roar and clambered into her bonded's lap.

"We're all very proud of you, Serra." Daeron spoke up, getting several pairs of eyes a variety of shades of purple at him.

Is he over on our side? Rhaenyra thought to Laela.

"Welcome to the Blacks, Daeron." Helaena smiled at her brother.

That is today's chapter. I hope you all enjoyed it!
