Four-year-old Visenyra was a curious child

Four-year-old Visenyra was a curious child. Her eyes shone with intelligence; like both her namesakes, she was a warrior and scholar. Very few knew what to expect from the young princess. Visenyra, however, was currently doing something her parents would disapprove of: the young girl was sneaking out to claim her dragon since she had long felt the call. It was quite early in the morning and her parents were busy.

The girl slipped out and followed the bond that she had felt since birth. She passed several dragons on her way before coming up to a big cave that was far away from the others. Only one dragon was in it. Visenyra walked confidently up to the dragon and gently placed a hand on his snout. The Black dragon watched the young girl. She was fearless and full of questions he had listened to every question she had asked since they had landed at Dragonstone the day before.

' Vhanyra?'

The voice echoing in her head had called her that, but the young girl just shook her head 'I am Visenyra. I am her descendant'

Vhanyra Targaryen was the mother of Aegon the Conqueror. Unknown to many, she had sent her children away and asked her dragon to take care of them, but she refused to leave her dying husband's side.

The young girl smiled softly. "Arrax, can I be your new rider?" The dragon's green eyes peered down at her and he nodded as the bond clicked in place and for the first time in almost two centuries, Arrax, the dragon of Vhanyra Targaryen, took to the skies with a rider.

Inside Dragonstone, Aemma and Viserys were startled as they heard a loud roar racing outside. They watched as the cannibal took to the skies and, to their surprise and horror on his back, was their daughter. Behind them Rhaenys and Daemon watched on in absolute awe "She has claimed her dragon brother you should be proud"

They all watched as the young princess threw her hands in the air and let out a sound of delight. Daemon looked at his niece and grinned "She truly took after her namesakes, but to claim the Cannibal she is the first to be successful"

Viserys held his head in his hands "Only my child what am I going to tell grandsire" his siblings looked on in amusement but truly the young girl had claimed the largest dragon on the mount and the most dangerous one too how would they explain that a four-year-old managed to claim him.

Aemma, on the other hand, looked at her daughter with tears in her eyes. She had never claimed her dragon even though they had a bond due to her not being born with the Targaryen name, but seeing her child ride free made her happy.

"My daughter is a dragon rider. " Her words were so soft, but holding pride it had made the other three Targaryens feel some guilt but they were proud of their niece she had exceeded all expectations. When the large dragon landed, they quickly ran over and watched as the four-year-old climbed down and petted her dragon. "Thank you Arrax"

'It has been two centuries since anyone has called me by my true name, but I am glad to hear it again. I am pleased to have you as my rider'

The dragon waited for the princess to walk over to her parents before taking off into the skies he needed to hunt, but not his own kind.

As Visenyra approached her parents Viserys picked her up "What made you go look for the Cannibal Visenyra we told you to stay away from his cave" As the man scolded his daughter she rolled her electric purple eyes "And ignore the calling of a bond father I am a dragon, not a sheep" her words sounded strange coming from a child but the Targaryen's were used to it.

Viserys paused "You felt a bond pulling you there?" Visenyra looked at her father as if he was an idiot "From the second I left mother's womb I felt it father," again her wording was strange but only Aemma addressed it "Visenyra are you saying you remember your birth" The young girl looked at her mother and nodded "Yes I remember papa handing me over to uncle Daemon and me pulling his hair and when grandfather was holding me"

This was unheard of "It's just like I remember everything I read and hear" As she spoke those words Rhaenys gasped "A genius and a Dragon born she has been blessed" Viserys although pleased with this revelation was quite upset with his daughter's rebellion.

"The Cannibal is a dangerous dragon, Visenyra couldn't you have waited longer?" The young girl, for the first time, glared at her father. "And let him die. I am the second rider. He has had his first being Vhanyra Targaryen. I was not leaving my dragon to be alone any longer"

Her words were honest and, quite frankly, disturbing. Viserys put down his daughter who stomped away it was clear that he would be getting the silent treatment for a long time. "The Cannibal is Arrax!" Daemon mumbled as he stared after his niece while Rhaenys just sighed "So that is what happens when a dragon is left too long without their fated rider"

Quite frankly, Visenyra had caused quite a stir but now she had left her family with lots to think about. Aemma, however, knew one thing: her daughter would truly do great things she hoped that she would live to see it.
