When Aemond saw the wood carvings, they were just as he had imagined them. They were so perfect, that Aemond gently ran his fingers through the wood feeling the texture. All were splendid from that of the Targaryen emblem to the carving of Rhenys' face.
Two days ago, Aemond met Arnold and they entered Dragon Pit together, Aemond had to convince the guardians to let Arnold pass by since they were not convinced to let an ordinary man go near the dragons, it was very dangerous in addition to the prince entering it was not recommended either since the dragons could get restless with a Targaryen who was not their rider.
A growl came out of Rhaegor when he felt a presence that was not from Rhenys.
- Rhaegor, it's me, Aemond - during the two years that Aemond and Rhenys had been friends, they had spent a lot of time in Dragon pit with Rhaegor, Rhenys loved his dragon and loved to share her favorite activity with her favorite person, Aemond. So Rhaegor got used to Aemond's presence. Rhenys joked that Rhaegor had taken Aemond as his second rider, so now Aemond already had a dragon, that only filled Aemond's heart with joy, knowing that his dragon heart would share something as special as her dragon with him.
Upon hearing Aemond's familiar voice, Rhaegor calmed down.
"I need you to help me with something, Rhaegor, it's a gift for Rhenys," he told the dragon. Walt stood still behind the prince, feeling intimidated by the dragon in front of him.
Arnold found it very strange that the Prince would talk to the dragon but he also knew that it was something Targaryen do, "closer to the gods than men," everyone knew about the Targaryen's bond with their dragons.
- This is Arnold, he going to help me with the gift.
The dragon responded to Aemond's words, he even rubbed against him in a sign of affection.
- Is it bright enough for you to see Rhaegor well?
- Yes, my prince, I'll just draw a quick sketch so I don't forget it.
That same day Arnold took the portrait of Rhenys, Aemond had borrowed it from the corridor where the paintings of the royal family were located.
He only begged the gods that no one would realize that the portrait of Rhenys was missing but he wouldn't know how to explain it without revealing his surprise. Aemond asked Arnold to be very careful with the portrait and try not to damage it, Arnold promised to take care of it.
Now he had in front of him, all the beautiful wooden figures he asked for. It was night and Aemond had escaped from the castle - next to Aegon - to be able to pick up the pieces.
- Mr. Arnold, they are perfect, thank you very much.
- It's an honor that you like them, my prince.
Aemond took three gold coins out of his pockets and handed them to the old man.
- Thank you very much, my prince.
The old man's voice broke, he had never had so much money in his hands, he could finally give his family a dignified life.
- Thank you, Mr. Arnold,, if I want more figures I know who to come to, you do a spectacular job.
Aemond ran to the same spot as last time the sack with the gifts and the portrait.
- Do you have the gifts?
"Yes," Aemond smiled proudly.
- What is it? Let me see.
Aemond took out the first one he touched when he put his hands in the sack, the figure of Rhaegor.
- I must say that it's a good gift, it doesn't look like a town trinket, it looks good enough as something of value.
- That's not why I chose it, it's the meaning of the pieces, Aegon. Rhaegor is important to Rhenys that's why.
- Anyway, what are the others?
Aemond returned the figure of Rhaegor to the sack and took out one of the Targaryen emblems.
"You should give one of these to our father, who can look at us for the first time with this," Aegon spoke bitterly, Aegon was not the only one who resented their father's absence.
"I am afraid that even if we give him a replica of the perfect Old Valyria, Father would still ignore us. He may look at us for a minute, but that's it, Aegon," said Aemond.
- Yes, you're right, is that all, or are there others?
"That's all." Aemond decided not to show the other pieces to Aegon, he didn't want to put up with more of his teasing.
So they both returned to the castle.

- My Prince.
- Ser Criston, how can I help you?
"I got what you asked me for," he said as he took out a wooden box painted black with the Targaryen emblem painted silver, very beautiful to tell the truth. "It's the most beautiful sapphire necklace I've found.
When opening the box, a beautiful silver necklace with a dragon holding a sapphire stone on its legs. It was a beautiful necklace. It was certainly not a common necklace.
- It's beautiful, Ser Criston, where did you find it?
- I searched in many places, I'm sorry that you couldn't choose the gift and I don't like to see you sad, my prince, so I tried to find the perfect necklace, do you know what the dragon is made of? It's Valerian steel and silver.
- Wow Ser Criston thank you very much, it's perfect.
- For you, my prince.
Maybe this would be another good gift for Rhenys, he didn't want to give her a necklace because he thought it would be a very common gift but this one wasn't, it had a dragon the animal that represented their house, it is made out of valerian steel, and sapphire.
Rhenys would love everything, Aemond knew that no one would give her the same piece, they would all be similar necklaces with a plain jewel in the center, but this one was unique.
