X. The Attack

ALEXANDER STRONG, A BOY OF ELEVEN, STOOD READY TO BE CALLED UPON for bonding with his dragon. His older sister Ariella Strong age twelve was also here. Two were standing behind the ones with dragons... Aemond Targaryen son of Alicent and Viserys and Adya Rivers daughter of Raewyn and Daemon who does not have dragons. They were just here to watch to learn for when they do have dragons one day.

Alexander stepped up as the helpers called upon him, "Aegar, Naejot (forward)," Alexander commands.

Aegar comes forward, and there is something about him, he's not just big, he's big big even though he's just growing, out of the siblings; he's the biggest, not sure why, he just hatched that way. 

"Very good, now go on," the helpers guided young alexander, "call Aegar to heel, Lord Alexander."

Alexander gets ready and says the words: "Dohaerās, (serve)" he tells him.

Aegar heels as he looks at Alexander who is carefully approaching, Adya watches in awe since she always wanted a dragon her whole life, that's when Aegar makes an angry noise and Alexander says, "Dohaerās, (serve) Aegar!" he commands again.

Aegar calms down as Alexander is able to touch him, he smiles and looks behind at Ariella who nods.

The others are a bit envious considering he is the only one who has bonded that closely with his dragon so far.

Next up was Ariella was more than nervous; Ember was smaller than Aegar and had a long neck like Caraxes, but was a light grey color with blue eyes. As they brought out Ember she saw Ariella and immediately started to speak.

"Lykirī (be calm), Ember," Ariella to the dragon

Aegon watches the Strong girl with interest but it wasn't the kind of kindness of his heart kind of thing so.

Ember calms but comes forward, the helper looks at the twelve-year-old girl, "go on."

"Naejot (forward)," Ariella called her forward.

Ember came forward as Ariella put out her hand but the dragon didn't react the same Aegar did with Alexander, her cousins laughed as she looked down, "enough, children!" Helpers scolded, "try again, feed her," they brought out a goat.

"I can say it?" Ariella asked.

They nodded.

Ariella had to get ready before saying the words, "Drakarys!"

Ember burned the goat until it was cooked enough for her and ate it.

Ariella smiles in confidence.

They finish bonding with the dragons today as they all went up to Aemond and Adya.

"Aemond, Adya," Aegon began, "we got a surprise for the both of you, you two can... Share it."

Adya, being ten, crossed her arms not trusting Aegon, "is this a prank?"

"No, it's something very special," Aegon nods to Alexander who shook his head back as Aegon just gave him a look, he then looks at Ariella who raises an eyebrow at him, "fine, I'll be right back."

Aegon walked off.

Both Aemond and Adya look at the Strong siblings, "what is it?"

"Well..." Ariella began as Alexander just rolled his eyes, "you two don't have dragons so we thought..."

"You found dragons?"

"One, that you two can share," Ariella explains, it's mostly Aegon's idea.

Aegon then comes back with a pig with wings tied to it.
