The Return Of The Dragons

Chapter 3: Calm before the storm

POV Daemon Targaryen

Daemon closed the door to his room with a soft click after Daenerys left, what had he done, how was he so stupid? He had kissed his little dragon, and made her run away from there, surely she was scared now and wanted nothing to do with him. But he couldn't help but do it, he couldn't help but grab her soft face and rest his lips on hers, she looked so nervous, lost... And yet, she was in front of him returning his sword so he wouldn't be unprotected, she cared for him as only one person before had done.

"Nyra I'm so sorry to stain your memory, forgive me... I couldn't help it, when I touch her skin, when I hold her close, it calms me, it's like she sings me a soothing song, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..."

He sat on the edge of the bed watching the flames dance, it was as if they were caressing each other, a controlled dance that intensified and went back down dancing again, it was exactly like seeing his inner self when Daenerys touched him, when he held her close and heard her voice, with Rhaenyra it was always an uncontrollable fire, ready to consume him and consume her, but with Dany, their flames danced together, burned at the same time or calmed down, he felt at peace, understood, when he was near the young Queen, he felt serene, there was no trace of anger, greed or jealousy, there was only calm, a peace that would be welcome always.

What would Nyra think? would she hate him for kissing someone else? would she hate him for feeling something for a woman who was not her? He hoped that wherever she was, she would know how much he loved and respected her, but that was not their time, they had brought him here for his little dragon, even though it made him stand between a rock and a hard place, he wanted to continue to keep that calm, maybe the day would come, that he would not feel bad, but he would never push Dany away, she was all he had left and he was mad to please her, love her, make her a dragon, rather to make her feel her inner dragon as something to love, not to fear.

Daemon stood up and walked to one side of the bed, finished removing his boots and remaining clothes before lying down on the mattress staring at the ceiling, slowly letting himself drift off to sleep, feeling a certain tranquility again inside him. Tomorrow would be a good day to fly with Dany, he would do just that, he would go find her and they would fly together.

POV Daenerys Targaryen

When she opened her eyes the next morning, she felt rested, it had been a while since she had been able to sleep without nightmares, finally she had a night of rest, her sight was clearing little by little, looking at the lazy light coming through the window. She stood up and walked to the open shutters, she watched as outside her children moved about playing a little with Caraxes, they seemed to be playing chase and beat each other, laughing a little she waited for Missy to come into her room to help her get ready, letting herself get lost in the view in front of her.

"They look happy, my Queen."

"They are, my friend, they all are" smiling towards her friend they both walked towards the open space where the boiling water was already waiting for her for her bath.

"I'll help you, let me go get the perfumes."

Dany climbed into the tub by herself, relaxing her muscles against the hot water, she always felt cold when the water was warm, she preferred it scalding hot. The Queen began to scrub her own skin clean of any impurities, waiting for Missandei to help her wash her hair and put on her oils. The brunette woman didn't take long to come in and wash Dany's hair gently smiling slightly, when the Queen came out of the now cold tub, her hair was almost dry, with Missy's help she rubbed the oils all over her body and sat down on the chair in front of the mirror, she watched as her friend smiled mischievously at her.
