THREE MOONS LATER.Alana watched as Helaena picked up a spider, watching as it crawled over her hand. They both sat in the gardens, even when it was fall in King's Landing it still was hot. Ser Coren was at the front of the gardens, looking around with a serious face.
Before coming to the gardens with Helaena, Cregan wrote to Alana. Arra Norrey was seven moons pregnant now, her symptoms were getting better but they were still lingering.
"What is on your mind Alana?" Helaena asked her, her gaze still on the crawling spider in her hand.
"My brother sent me a letter, his wife is still having a complicated pregnancy. I worry that something bad will happen to her." Alana spoke out her worries, looking back up to Helaena.
Helaena smiled sadly at Alana, as if she already knew what was going to happen. "I'm sure..she will be surrounded by all the people she loves."
"You're right." Alana nods, despite not really knowing what she meant. "My biggest fear is dying from childbirth."
"I'm sure the Gods will have mercy on you." Helaena nodded, and put the spider down on the ground watching as it crawled away. "But it is a natural thing for us. I fear it sometimes as well.."
Alana nodded, feeling as the fall breeze on her, rustling her hair. It was still hot in Kings Landing tho. "How are you and Aemond?" Alana asked.
"We're fine, I suppose. He usually is with Vhagar, or he is in the library, or he's training with Ser Criston." Helaena speaks, fidgeting with her dress skirts.
Alana tilted her head at Helaena, "He doesn't spend time with you?"
"Sometimes, but not usually." Helaena shook her head, looking back at Alana.
"And Dreamfyre? How is she?" Alana asked, playing with the necklace around her neck.
Helaena smiled, sitting up straighter. "She is good, though I haven't rode her as of late."
"Whys that?" Alana asked, watching as Helaena picked up another spider.
"I haven't been feeling that good as of late, I suppose it could be because of fall looming around, and sickness spreading.." Helaena nodded, watching the spider crawl around her hand.
Alana nodded, looking away from Helaena and towards a bush.
Then there were footsteps, which made Helaena and Alana turn and look towards the person. Aegon walked to them and then stood before them. "Sister. Alana." He smiled.
"Aegon." Helaena nodded, before setting the spider down on a nearby bush.
"Sister." Aegon smiled before looking at Alana "Come there is someone I wish you to meet."
"Oh?" Alana stood up, twisting her rings around her fingers.
Aegon nodded, putting his hands behind his back. "I'll bring her back." He spoke to Helaena before guiding Alana away, Alana giving Helaena a reassuring smile.

"Where are we going?" Alana asked, as both sat in a carriage.
"You'll see." Aegon smiled, looking out the carriage window, "Almost there."
The carriage rocked from the movement, the horses hooves outside hitting the stone ground. After a while the carriage stopped, and an awful scent of smell was in the air. Alana held a disgusted face, holding her hand infront of her nose.
"Ugh, what is that smell?" Alana grimaced, as a servant opened the door for them.
"You'll see." Aegon smirked before stepping out of the carriage, Alana following in pursuit.
Alana stepped out of the carriage, and saw the Dragonpit, the stone walls standing high. "Come."
Alana sighed before nodding, holding her dress skirts. Sunfyre emerged from the Dragonpit, the dragon keepers holding their long spears at him. Sunfyre's scales glistened against the sunlight, as he made his way towards Aegon, with Alana behind Aegon.
"He gorgeous.." Alana muttered, her hand on Aegon's forearm, as she looked at the golden dragon.
"It's why they call him the golden." Aegon laughed, before stepping closer to Sunfyre. "Gīda, Sunfyre (Calm, Sunfyre."
Sunfyre lowered his head to Aegon, as if he wanted Aegon to pet his scales. As if Aegon read Sunfyre's thoughts Aegon pressed his hand to his snout, feeling the warmth under his hand. "He likes you, I think."
"You think?" Alana raised her eyebrows, as Aegon looked back at her.
Aegon nodded, before looking back at Sunfyre who looked at Alana then at Aegon. "It's almost as if he's studying you."
"Perhaps to eat me." Alana joked, then tightening her hand on Aegon's forearm at the actual thought of it.
"If he wanted to eat you, he would have done it already." Aegon spoke, before grabbing her freehand.
"Oh Gods." Alana muttered as Aegon pressed her hand to Sunfyre's snout. Sunfyre let out a breath of air, before closing his eyes.
"See he likes you."
"I heard that Dragons copy or even know their riders thoughts or actions." Alana looked back at Aegon, who was still holding her hand up to Sunfyre.
"Some of them do." Aegon nodded, looking back at Alana. "But I suppose Sunfyre does know my thoughts.."
