The pre-dawn sky was more frightening than the idea that Daemys had. Princess quickly go along the Dragonstone with each step moving away from her chambers.

Adrenaline even makes girl jolts a little because usually she doesn't do something like that. Something rash. Something perilous. Actually, she was called the most mature of siblings.

Only few weeks ago her brothers and... well, sisters maked a commontion in which the nicest of her uncles lost an eye, and now she did that. Mother would kill her. Or a ban in the chambers forever.

The closer to the dragon the bigger he seems. Raex can be twice as big as Vermax, but he is nothing compared to The Blood Wyrm. Caraxes don't sleep, his huge eye look for Daemys and it beckons girl come closer.

She cautiously approaches on a few meters. A dragon slightly moves his wing towards princess and she slows down, but doesn't stop.

"Hello" she said, "I'm Daemys, Caraxes"

He snorts, warm steam comes out of his nostrils and makes girl stumble. Did she think mother would kill her? Given that dragons are usually similar to their riders, Caraxes will do it with great pleasure. She could only rely on her own knowledge of Valyrian language.

"Fine, i get it" Daemys answered his indignation, raising her hands. "I won't talk to you like as a child. It's rightly, I'm child here."

She nears again and stops in a few meters from a dragon. Caraxes are watching at disturber of his calm with interest and waiting her act. Princess frowns.

"I thought it would be great to ride a big dragon like you, but I can't get into the saddle without your help" she said timidly. Caraxes still didn't move.

"I won't tell anyone, I promise" Daemys beged. "Just once"

She was doused with a column of steam from another snort of dragon. He was so near that she could touch. Only now came the realization that she couldn't escape since she saw the relief of his scales.

"I wish this happened more than once" she said more confidently. "But I won't ask for more, I promised you"

In seconds after the end of the phrase, princess can hear the frantic beat of her heart. Suddenly, dragon moves close to the ground and folds his wing so that she can climbed.

Daemys starts to climb dragon as quickly as she can and, with effort, ends up on saddle. Surprisingly that Caraxes waits for her to buckle up before taking off.

She feels a sharp and very strong push and it's harder than she might think. Daemys holds on to the saddle with might and main. Presses closer to dragon. And, who would have known that a girl her age could know curse words?

But, after a minute of takeoff, Caraxes levels off and Daemys can raise her head. A girl looks at the sky illuminated by the rays of the rising sun. Rises high enough to touch the clouds, where her dragon can't rise. And wants to cry.

"That's beautiful" Daemys whispers, and hears approving roar.
