Dragon Blood

Chapter 16

"Can I say it?" Jace asked with excitement.

Rhenys remembered how happy she was when Rhaegor responded to her for the first time, it wasn't really difficult, the bond between Rhaegor and Rhenys was special.

From her birth, the dragon accompanied her and became her protector by snarling anyone who wanted to take him away from his little rider; it was a strong and unusual bond. Rhenys loved Rhaegor and he loved her.

When the caregiver gave Jace permission Jace, with the most immense smile said: - Dracarys, Vermax!

Vermax responded to his rider's order, and the flames came out of his snout burning the sheep.

Rhenys' great smile of pride hesitated when he saw the bitterness on Aemond's face - I even have the sadness that his eyes reflected, she noticed it, Rhenys had learned to notice Aemond's small details.

Rhenys took Aemond's hand between her, trying to bring him comfort, telling him that he will get a dragon soon. Aemond became tense at the small act of affection - it was not the first time they held hands, it was something common between the two.

But because he realized that he had become an open book that Rhenys could read perfectly, as much as he could with Rhenys.

Even so, Aemond corresponded to this show of affection, giving a slight squeeze to Rhenys' hand as a thank you but also offered her a slight smile that made Rhenys' eyes light up.

"Aemon-" Rhenys began to try to talk but was interrupted by Aegon and Luke.

"Aemond, we have a surprise for you."

Rhenys' had a bad feeling.

"What is it?" Aemond asked, totally confused by the recent attention of his brother and nephew.

"Something very special," Luke said as he ran.

"You're the only one who doesn't have a dragon," Aegon began. Rhenys frowned.

"That doesn't matter, Aegon." Rhenys couldn't help but defend Aemond, who only looked tired of the same subject.

"Will you allow me, Rhenys? I'm talking to my brother."

"That's right," Aemond replied to the comment about the dragon with annoyance of having to talk about the same subject.

"We feel bad about that," Aegon consoled while including Jace in the conversation. "So we found one for you.

Rhenys knew that this was going wrong, Aegon, Jace and Luke never worried about Aemond, they even joked about this issue, it didn't make sense that now a feeling of concern for Aemond had been born; adding this to Jace's comment a few minutes ago, Rhenys deduced that something was wrong.

"Aemond," I pull him by his arm. "Let's go.

"Wait, Rhenys," he said in a soft tone and addressed his brother again with curiosity. "A dragon?" How?

"The gods provide," was the only thing Aegon answered.

Rhenys saw hope in Aemond's eyes, he really hoped that there would be a dragon for him but Rhenys knew that it was not so easy to get a dragon, the eggs were scarce, most dragons already had a rider and those who were not wild.

Suddenly Luke went out with a pig disguised as a dragon with wings and everything. It was a bad joke, a cruel one.

"The pink dread,!" Aegon shouted, Jace and Luke bersted into laughter.

Rhenys' worried eyes quickly looked for Aemond's knowing that this joke would hurt him.

While Aegon whispered another joke in his brother's ear, Rhenys tried to find Aemond's gaze but his eyes were only on the pig, his jaw was tight, his eyes were angry, his mouth was frowned in a grimace, he was furious and full of humiliation, Rhenys' heart hurt when she saw Aemond in that state.
