Daemons pov I mutter "it's not right you know?" To my wife. Watching her with him days later. "What's not right daemon?" She asks. "Her with aemond. Banning her from riding a dragon. A dragon is her birth right. She shouldn't suffer because of her health" I sigh. She chuckles "aemond is nothing but great to her my love." "I was nothing but great to you too rhaenyra I see how he looks at her it's how I look at you" I explain. "Bit hypocritical to judge then isn't it daemon? As long as he waits until she's of age and is happy. That's all that matter and should matter." She replies.
"And her happiness? Rhaenyra she's miserable. She's no longer her happy little girl. We swore we'd make her as happy as possible for as long as we have her not wanting to regret anything in case her illness takes her from us." I remind her. "It's because her illness that I did what I did" she replies. "Without talking to me, her father. You speak of wanting her happiness but you stripped it from her. She won't even talk to you or let you hold her. Me too. Because she thinks I'm okay with it. I'm not. I want her happy" I argue. Rhaenyra says "well I want her safe daemon!" "I do too! She can have both we just need to know her limits! And encourage her to be who and whatever she wants to be not hold her back. You made a choice for her without me" I snap and I look and see she's gone. Where did she go? I ask aemond and he says "library" I nod and go and she's not there. Where is she?!
Visenya's pov Aemond says "as much as I want you to have one you shouldn't. Your health almost killed on dragon back. I will not help you look for Aenepa any longer. I can't risk it or you" I back away "I thought you understood" "I understand your want but I cannot fulfill this wish you have at the risk of your health" he tells me and I say "I um...okay" I back away and he sighs "byka zaldrizes come please" "I um...I want to be alone" I say and he asks "where?" I lie "library" and walk away and circle back to the stables and get on a horse and head out undetected.
I pull out the map I have of Aenepa's last sighting. She's getting closer it seems. I get off my horse and spank it and it heads back to the keep hopefully. I find the large tracks and feel the warmth. I find her asleep. She's here. And so...beautiful. A white and red color.

Her blood red eyes open and see me and I hold my hand out standing strong and I go to say the words needed but she looks into my eyes and I feel something I've never felt before. She nudges my hand with her face and lets out a hum. I hear calls "princess!" I look around and note the hoofs. They know I'm gone. She hisses and I pet her "let's go home"
I make my way and climb onto her as she lowers herself. I grab whatever I can and I say "sōvegon Aenepa" fly. She takes off and I smile. I did it. I have a dragon of my own. She's mine. I feel complete. I guide her to the keep and she hisses at everyone "Visenya Targaryen! Get off of the dragon now!" My mother scolds. Why isn't she happy for me? I have my own dragon now just as the others do.
"Mother aren't you happy for me? I have a dragon! I bonded with a dragon all on my own" I reply with a smile. She says "get down now visenya" Aenepa hisses at her approach. My smile drops "why can't I have this one thing mother? One thing" "you're sick you shouldn't be In the skies my sweet. Get off of her and send her away" she replies. I make a face "no" "no?" She asks raising an eyebrow.
Aemond speaks "thank gods youre okay visenya" and he sees what's going on "so you've found and claimed her? Good for you sweetling" I smile his way. "Visenya I am your mother get off the dragon" my mother says. "Why must you ruin everything for me mother? Any kind of happiness I have you take it! I never asked for anything except for this! I finally have it and you're taking it too!" I sniffle.
My father comes "thank gods you're okay" my mother says "I'm trying to keep you safe" "I want to be happy" i sniffles and add "at every turn you take it from me." "I do not mean to pain you only to avoid another flare up from your illness" she tells me gently. My father speaks "you're a dragon rider now my princess. Im proud. Know your limits and do not push it. You can keep her. She's yours and you bonded. Cmon down princess" I hold my arms out and he holds out his and I hop down and he chuckles "you can't run off like that again Vis. You had us worried sick" I hug him after kissing his cheek "I'm sorry daddy" he kisses my cheek "I'm just happy you're unharmed that's all we want. I smile and watch Aenepa fly off.
