A storm. It started with a single ominous cloud on the horizon, a dark smear against the canvas of the sky. Then, like an artist's brushstroke, more clouds gathered, melding together in a symphony of charcoal grays and dusky purples. They billowed and swirled, an ethereal dance of moisture and turbulence. As the storm took form, Lucerys felt a shift in the very air around him. The atmosphere crackled with anticipation, a palpable electricity that tingled against his skin. The pressure changed, a heaviness settling upon his shoulders like a weight of impending destiny. Moisture permeated the air, clinging to his hair and clothes, making everything glisten with a fine mist.
Mounted upon his dragon, Arrax, Lucerys felt the deep connection to the tempest. The young dragon, with scales of pale iridescence that shimmered like the moon's reflection on a tranquil sea, possessed a fiery spirit that matched the storm's intensity. Its reddish membranes stretched wide, catching the gusts of wind, propelling them through the skies with a graceful power. Each beat of Arrax's wings created a symphony of sound, a rhythmic pulsation that resonated within Lucerys' very soul.
Beneath him, he could feel the dragon's powerful muscles flexing, the rhythmic rise and fall of its massive body. The dragon's hot breath, a mixture of smoke and heat, wafted over Lucerys, a reminder of the creature's immense power and otherworldly nature. The scent of sulfur and the distinct musk of dragon permeated the air, intertwining with the fresh scent of rain and wet earth.
Together, they soared amidst the darkened clouds, a dance of trust and symbiosis. Lucerys could feel the strength of Arrax's sinewy muscles beneath him, They rose and dipped, twisted and turned, as if tracing invisible patterns in the sky. It was a harmonious choreography between rider and beast, a dance of freedom and exhilaration.
And through it all, Lucerys felt a surge of emotions welling up within him. There was a thrill, a sense of invincibility, as he rode upon the back of his dragon, Arrax, defying the limitations of men. It was a euphoria born from the union of earth and sky, where he transcended the boundaries of the mundane world below. But intertwined with that exhilaration was a humbling awareness of his vulnerability, of the vastness of the storm and the forces that lay beyond his control.
Emerging from behind the tempest, Storm's End materialized like a brooding titan. Its silhouette, shrouded in the storm clouds, exuded an air of time-worn might. The fortress, weathered and formidable, stood as a solemn monument to the power and endurance of House Baratheon.
Lucerys and Arrax descended towards Storm's End. The wind whipped through his hair, and raindrops pelted his face as Arrax navigated the stormy skies. They glided gracefully through the dark clouds, the dragon's wings beating with power and purpose.
With each passing moment, they grew closer to the ground beneath them. Lucerys held onto Arrax tightly, feeling the dragon's muscles tense beneath him.
Arrax's reddish membranes quivered with excitement. With a final, slightly unsteady descent, they touched the ground, his powerful talons sinking into the rain-soaked earth. Lucerys dismounted, his heart pounding with exhilaration and his clothes drenched from the downpour. He patted Arrax's scaled neck "Skorī jagon, Arrax. Kessa jagon belmurtīs." ("Very good, Arrax. Wait here for me.")
