Fire and Blood: Fury in Fire (Rewritten)

Chapter 5: To Dragonstone

Everyone mounted on their dragons, Rhaenys was coming too, they all were heading back to Dragonstone, Rhaenyra was on Syrax, Daemon on Caraxes, Alysanne on Silver Wing, Alysanne took the baby Joffrey with her and Rhaenys was on Meleys, Jace and Luke had to ride with Rhaenyra, as their dragons Vermax and Arrax weren't big enough to ride them both anywhere.
 
They were still in Kings Landing, so Vaemon and Thurrax will have to go and pick them up, Baela and Rhaena had to ride with their brother on Thurrax, Vaemon couldn't trust Valyrion to ride them back to Dragonstone, even though Baela had her dragon but it was too small, still a baby right now.
 
Baela carried her dragon named Moondancer with her, sadly Rhaena never had a dragon yet, her egg never hatched, all the dragons that stood on Driftmark, all launched, in tow was also Seasmoke, the smoky colored dragon didn't want to be left behind all alone, Vaemon turned to look at Rhaenys and talked to her.
 
"Aunt Rhaenys, how about a race to Dragonstone?"
 
"You're on."

The Queen who Never Was nodded to her nephew, she whipped the reins and Meleys sped off, Vaemon whipped the reins on his dragon and Thurrax flapped his wings four times, Thurrax started to go faster, the speed was just enough to catch up to the Red Queen and glide beside her, Rhaenys was shocked at how fast Vaemon caught up to her, she whipped her reins again and Meleys took off again.
 
Vaemon smiled and whipped his reins three times, it made Thurrax flap his wings eight times, by then Thurrax was flying faster than Meleys for his size, Baela and Rhaena's stomachs started turning, the butterflies were going around both of them, Thurrax flapped his wings six more times and they flew right past Meleys and Rhaenys, by then they already reached Dragonstone, Thurrax flew around the Dragon Fort before landing on the grass by the Dragonmont.
 
Vaemon and his half-sisters climbed off from Thurrax and dropped on their knees, Vaemon went to check on them.
 
"You two alright?"
 
"Yes."
 
The twins said in twin speech, they eventually stood up.
 
"What a ride."
 
"Yeah."
 
Vaemon smiled at the two, they walked up and see Maester Gerardys come out to greet them, finally Rhaenys and the others arrived, they all landed by the Dragonmont, Silver Wing was dismounted by Alysanne, straight the silver white dragon walked to the Dragonmont and called out to Vermithor who resided inside, Alysanne wouldn't blame Silver Wing walking off to the Dragonmont straight away after dismounting.
 
The dragons of her great grandsires missed each others presence, it was only four days before they came back, more like many years, because Silver Wing had accompanied Alysanne in Pentos and Kings Landing, finally, after a few years, they are reunited, Vaemon and the others walk inside the castle, Vaemon walked beside Rhaenyra, they head to the dining hall, they all sit down except Rhaenys, she headed out the door.
 
"Princess, don't you want to stay?"

"No, I must head back to Driftmark to my husband, it's been an exhausting four days, having two funerals."
 
"Okay, fly safe, Princess."
 
Rhaenyra finished nodding to Rhaenys.
 
"I will, and Vaemon."
 
Vaemon looked up at Rhaenys to listen to her.
 
"You're lucky to have Thurrax, he's a good dragon, he is faster than Meleys, it's good how you bonded with him, like Viserys said, you are a true dragon rider, one who can feel what the dragon feels, is a true dragon rider, it means you are fully bound to him."
 
"Thank you Princess."
 
Vaemon said with a nod to Rhaenys, he respects her, he knows how she was rejected, she was older than the King, she had a strong claim to the Iron Throne, but then no one chose her to sit on it, her father Aemon Targaryen was the eldest son of Jaehaerys, and she was older than Viserys, she should've been Queen of the Seven Kingdoms.
 
"And Alysanne, you remind me so much of my grandmother, she really was, a Good Queen."
 
Alysanne nodded to her aunt, Rhaenys walked out, the family in the dining hall were now having dinner, as they finished, Daemon announced to the whole family.
 
"Rhaenyra se kesan sagon dinilukis va se laorios, sir nyke iepagon aoha mazolaori hen bisa diniluks/Rhaenyra and I will be married on the morrow, now I ask for your approval of this wedding."
 
Vaemon looked at both Rhaenyra and his father, he had feelings for the Princess, right now they have just announced a wedding, Vaemon looked to the right, where three of his sisters sat, Alysanne sat right beside her older brother, Baela and Rhaena sat on the right of Alysanne, all three of them nod in approval.
 
Vaemon looked back to his father.
 
"Ilon mazoregon kepa­­/We approve father."
 
Daemon nodded to Vaemon, Jace and Luke approved of the marriage too, the next day at dawn, Vaemon dressed up for the day, he went out and saw Alysanne, Baela and Rhaena waiting, they went out by the Dragonmont where Daemon and Rhaenyra wait with Jace and Luke, it was a traditional Valyrian wedding, they had to cut the lips, use the blood from the lips to make an arrow pointing up, they slit their hands to pour into a cup and drink, lastly they kiss.
 
A few days after the wedding, Vaemon went out to the Dragonmont, beside it laid Thurrax, he patted the great red beast on his jaw, he climbed up and sat on the saddle the dragon keepers made for him, he clipped his feet into the stirrups, and took flight without command.
 
Vaemon and Thurrax headed to Kings Landing, they soon reached the capital, Thurrax landed on the hill, Vaemon climbed down.
 
"Syt se umbagon Thurrax/Sit and stay Thurrax"
 
Vaemon commanded his dragon and walked down to the walls and went in, he first walked inside the Red Keep, he went to see the King first, on his way a girl came running to him and hugged him, it was Helaena, Vaemon hugged her back, he kissed her on the head.
 
"How are you love?"
 
"Fine, where's Alysanne?"
 
"She's back in Dragonstone, if I hadn't known, I would've brought her and Silver Wing along with me and Thurrax, I'm here to see your father by the way, how is he?"
 
"He's fine, his health is still not as good."
 
"Ok, I'm going to see him now."
 
Vaemon finished conversing with the young girl, he went to the King's bed chambers, he saw a guard there, it was Ser Erryk Cargyll, the knight gave Vaemon a welcoming look, they hugged each other, the knight was another friend of Vaemond's, he was let into the room, there he saw the King building his sculpture of Valyria, he put his hand on the King's should, he turned to see who it is.
 
Viserys smiled at Vaemon's presence, Vaemon hugged him, he then sat down next to him, he grabbed a piece to work on.
 
"So, how are you my dear boy?"
 
"I'm holding up, just five days ago, Rhaenyra and father got married, if you ask me, I had feelings for Rhaenyra."
 
The smile the King held had dropped at the mention of the wedding, the King knew his nephew had feelings for his daughter, he sat forward to ask Vaemon a question.
 
"How is Daemon treating Rhaenyra?"
 
"Very well my King, don't worry Your Grace, he tries anything to hurt her, I'll unsheathe my sword onto him, I promise, I love her too."
 
"I know, why did you come here in the first place?"
 
"I came to pick up Vermax and Arrax."
 
"On your own? Is Jace and Luke with you?"
 
"No, but I'll manage."
 
With that answer, all of the sudden the King's eye had fallen out, Vaemon jolted backwards in his seat a bit at the sight.
 
"Gods be good, I'll get someone to go get the maesters for you."
 
"Thank you."
 
Vaemon put down the piece he was working on, he went out the door.
 
"Erryk, get the maesters, the King's eye just fell out, now."
 
With that, the knight ran and got the maesters, Vaemon went back inside and hugged Viserys who returned the hug.
 
"I'll see you some other day uncle, I'm going to take Vermax and Arrax back to Dragonstone, I'll keep visiting.
 
"Yes, please keep coming back my boy, I love to see you around."
 
Vaemon nodded and went out the door, on his way out he was met by the Queen, she looked at him and questioned him.
 
"What are you doing here?"
 
"Visiting my uncle, what does it look like?"
 
Vaemon turned and walked off, he exited the Red Keep, he walked up to the Dragonpit and went inside, he was met by the master keeper inside.
 
"Nyke've mazigon naejot iderebagon be Vermax se Arrax/I've come to pick up Vermax and Arrax."
 
"Ry istin nuha Darilaros/At once my Prince"
 
Dragon keepers went into the chambers to get the two named dragons, they come out with a little emerald green dragon and a black one.
 
"Dohaerys/Serve me"
 
Vaemon said and the two toddler sized dragons heeded to his call.
 
"Mazigon/Come"
 
Vaemon said with his hand out, he made a hand gesture telling to come, they both came up to him.
 
"Kelis/Halt"
 
The two dragons stopped and smelt Vaemon's hand, Vaemon walked backwards and told them to come to him again.
 
"Mazigon."
 
The dragon keepers were surprised, the two dragons followed Vaemon out to the hill where they met Thurrax sitting there, Vaemon kept telling them to come and the two dragons just look up at Thurrax, Arrax went up to him and Thurrax and smelt him, the little dragon went up and flew onto Thurrax' back.
 
Vaemon smiled at the sight of it, he walked to the side of Thurrax and reached both of his arms out to Arrax.
 
"Arrax, mazigon, get down now."
 
Vaemon spoke softly, the little black dragon jumped off and Vaemon caught him in his arms, he put him down slowly and let Thurrax tend to him as if the little dragon were his own hatchling, next Thurrax had to get used to the emerald green dragon, Vermax was ill-tempered, Thurrax picked him up using his mouth and dropped him, Vermax snarled at Thurrax then recieved a loud growl from the great red beast.
 
Vermax settled down and heeded to Thurrax' growls, Vaemon climbed up and sat in the saddle.
 
"Sovegon Thurrax, Vermax, Arrax, mazigon"
 
Thurrax launched in the air flying slow so the two little dragons can catch up, as they went out, Thurrax' wings blocked the sun from a part of the city, overshadowing Flea Bottom.
 
Soon enough they reached Dragonstone, they all landed by the Dragonmont, Vaemon saw Valyrion fighting with another dragon, it was shining black, Valyrion was tempted by this dragon because he saw so many dragon's eggs and bones of young dragons being eaten by it, the dragon was known as the Cannibal, a wild dragon, so far so good, Valyrion was the one winning the fight, Valyrion was very violent.
 
Vaemon climbed off from Thurrax, he saw Jace and Luke coming up to him, he hugged them both and they returned it.
 
"How did you get them to come with you?"
 
"I know it's impossible, but I think I'm like a father to some dragons, Thurrax was tending to them as if they were his hatchlings, ah kelis"
 
Vaemon commanded and they heeded to his command, Jace and Luke were surprised by the gesture, a Prince at the age of ten-and-nine being able to command many other dragons.
