The Love of a Dragon

Part 15

Aegon's Pov, 

The Next Morning, 

Feeling something hit my face hard a groan leaves my lips as I slowly blink my eyes open only to see Little Aegon sprawled on top of me while his soft snores fill my ears.  Looking around the sun is already getting up and I'm not quite sure if I send the camp into a fit of panic or not by the fact that we didn't return last night. 

It was already so late, and the boy was practically asleep, also it doesn't hurt a night under the stars. Running my fingers through his hair soon a grunt leaves his lips as he tries to swat my hand away. 

"You have to wake up, we still need to complete our hu-" I start before it turns into muffles as he places his hand over my mouth. Sitting up I see his eyes open for less than a second before he acts as if he's asleep again and I place him down on the ground before getting up and stretching my body out with a content groan. 

"Well would you look at that, It looks like I will have to go further all alone. Better hope there are no monsters hiding around." I say as I walk over to the horse. "No! Kepa!" He yells after me as his little feet run over to me and I release a laugh as I pick him up. 

"And here I thought you were still asleep, must have bee-" I start before my eyes widen at the load bellowing sound is being heard making my head snap around to see a huge bear make it's way out of some bushes. 

Seeing it sniff around as some more sounds leave it's lips the eyes fall upon me and Little Aegon making me my so grab the hilt of my dagger as my sword is strapped to the horse that's getting ready to snap the branch over and run away. 

As the bear stands now on it's hind legs and loudly roars at me I release a loud yell in hopes to scare it off while I keep Aegon pushed behind me as he holds my leg tightly. "Come on! Go away! Shoo!" I yell as I try to make myself look bigger than I am and it runs forward a few steps before a roar so loud leave it's lips that I think the ground below me was slightly shaking. 

Hearing the cries leave Aegon's lips I pull my danger out of it 's sheet and point it towards the bear that has every bloody chance to run away! As it roars again while standing on it's hide legs and this thing must be 900 fucking pounds at least. 

And soon it runs forward making me push Aegon backwards hard before running forward with the Valyrian steel dagger in my hand, as the animal clashes with me a scream of horror leaves Aegon's lips as I feel the claws dig into my skin while I'm shoving the dagger into the animal's body while trying to make sure it doesn't rip my bloody head off! 

Falling towards the ground with the heavy animal on top of me I feel it's teeth sink down in my arm making me cry out in pain while I pull the dagger up with all my might as I cut the bears stomach open. 

Pulling the dagger out as I ignore the pain in my own body and the fact that this thing is now trying to shove it's teeth in my bloody head I bring it up and start to stab at it's neck over and over again while the bear cries out in pain as it's claw drag down my clothes and rip it apart before it with one final loud cry falls down on top of me making a grunt of pain leave my lips. 

"Kepa! K-kepa!" Aegon cries out and it takes all my strength to roll the beast off of me as I slowly get up and feel the blood run down my body as I see the boy stand there in shock and with tears in his eyes. 

"I-I'm f-fine.... come here." I groan out as I open my arms and he's quick to run over to me before his body crashes into mine and it makes a grunt leave my lips but I wrap my good arm around him as my lips place against his forehead.

Hearing a twig snap my eyes quickly snap up again as my hand moves for the dagger only to see a White Hart move towards us, and it's beautiful and probably around 250 lbs.......seeing it slowly walk over to us his eyes are on me. The story goes that before dragons ruled over Westeros the White Hart was said to be a sign that the god's favor a king or lord. 

As it continues to walk over to it looks towards the dagger my fingers are inching closer to and it's as if it nods it's head making me quickly pick the dagger up before slamming it through the animal's eye and no cry is being heard as it falls towards the ground. 

Releasing a breath I didn't know I was holding I slowly stand up with a limb as claw marks are on three spots on my stomach and on both of my legs where blood drips out, and than there's the large bite mark on my left arm where blood is dripping out of. 

"C-come on we need to find a way to drag..... to drag these back to the camp." I groan out as I place Aegon down on the ground and wipe his tears away while he's now also covered in blood, and it's probably the blood of me and the bear mixed together. 

.....................................................................

Alicent's Pov, 

T-they didn't return and I-I couldn't stop my mind from going to the worse places. What if something happened to the both of them...... and they are out there all alone. Rhaenyra she came back with Ser Criston this morning and a boar while she was covered in blood.......... Viserys went out with the royal hunters who said it would be a white stag but it was a normal one and yet they all are saying that the king with our son will be fine! 

"It's the king!" 

"He killed the White Stag!" 

"Someone get a Maester! The king is wounded!"

"Your grace is bleeding!" 

 People all start to yell as we sit on the large table eating breakfast and soon my eyes widen as I see a completely drenched in blood form of Aegon leading his horse forward as he stumbles a bit while our son sits on top of the horse with blood over his clothes and face.

Quickly standing up with many others we walk over to them and I see a huge bear lay on a makeshift cart behind the horse with a White Stag laying next to it. 

"Someone get a Maester!" Viserys yells as he puts Aegon's arm over his shoulder and holds the man up while his leather shirt is ripped apart as there are deep claw marks on his body where the blood is oozing out of. 

"What happened!? I told you not to go out there alone!" Viserys says as Ser Harold also quickly walks over and they start to drag Aegon with them toward the tent while the whole crowd is just looking in shock at the king and the animals he dragged back with him. 

"We went hun.... hunting as you can see......... and brought back two.... two nice catches don't you a-agree." 

"Kepa." Our son yells after them as he sits on top of the horse and I quickly walk over before lifting him off as my eyes move over every inch of his body to search for a sign of wound, but thank the god's there's none.

"It's alright, he's going to be alright." I say as I press my lips against the top of his head, and I hold him tightly against me. "It's going to be alright." I softly say as I keep him close against me while my eyes move over to the at least 850-pound bear, I know Aegon he would have protected our son with every fiber in his body and by the sight of it he did. 

H-he never should have gone out there alone, we never should have let them go out there alone.......now look at him. I-I just need him to be okay, he's strong and he'll be..... he will be alright he just has too.

"Do you wish for us to clean him up, your grace?" 

"N-no it's..... it's okay I will do so myself." I say and the maid nods her head before I start to walk in the direction of the tent to clean the blood of his father off of our son. "Kepa." He says once again as he looks around him. 

"You will see him soon enough, I promise."
