The Love of a Dragon

Part 17

Aegon's Pov, 

The Next Day. 

Standing on the ship as my back rests against the railing Leana walks over to me with her teasing smile. "First you make me sail to King's Landing only to now sail back towards Driftmark........ seems quite unnecessary doesn't it." She states making me chuckle. 

"We aren't sailing to Driftmark, we are going to your surprise." 

"A surprise from the king? Wow what more could a girl wish for." She says as she walks to stand beside me. "I don't know, hoping that my surprise doesn't turn in our funeral." I counter making her turn to look at me with a raised brow. 

"What is your surprise?" 

"It won't be one if I tell you now would it? But I hope you brushed up on your Valyrian." I say making her place her hand on my chest as she starts to play with the fabric on my black vest. "And there's no way I can make you tell me, mother said you got hurt on the hunt......... maybe I can help you feel better." She seductively says as she leans up and ghosts her lips over mine. 

"I'm not spoiling the surprise, Leana." I whisper and she releases a groan before pulling away from me while I can't stop the chuckle that leaves my lips. "I should have a dragon our journey would have been a lot faster than on this boat." 

"I think I told you quite often during the years that one day you'll have a dragon, I stand by those words....... you just need to be a little patient." 

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

Walking up the dune on the island I hear Leana huff and puff behind me. "I'm not sure if I like your surprises anymore. We've been walking for hours." She remarks making me look over my shoulder as I reach the top and see the large green dragon lay below us. 

Hearing her move to stand beside me soon a gasp leaves her lips. "Vhagar." She breaths out and I nod my head. "Surprise, if she burns you I don't think my talk with your father or mother will be pleasant." I say making her head snap in my direction. 

"H-how did you claim Vermithor." 

"Every dragon bonds with a person for different reasons, my grandsire took me on many flights........ I loved Vermithor before he became my dragon and I think he bonded with me already, when my grandsire passed we were truly able to truly bond with one another. Do what you think you need to do, and if you don't wish to do this than we can turn around and go back to Kin-" 

"No! I mean no I want to do this." She says and I nod my head. "I believe in you." I say and she takes a deep breath before moving down the dune as she starts to make her way down towards the dragon that once belonged to Queen Visenya....... and her last rider was my father. 

Feeling something heavy land beside me I don't even have to look as I feel Vermithor's snout bump against me. "I know if she gets eaten than I will blame this all on you." I say as I lean against his head while my eyes are still on Leana who's now walking towards the ladder that leads up Vhagar.

Seeing her try to touch it the old dragon's head lifts up with snapped open eyes while Leana holds her hand out. Seeing her other hand move towards the ladder again soon flames start to form in the back of Vhagar's throat. 

"Lykiri Vhagar! Lyrkiri." Leana loudly says while my eyes stay on the scene in front of me as the dragon calms down again while I see bloody Leana start to climb onto the dragon. Letting a smile grow on my face as I see her sit down on the saddle, I quickly make my way onto the one of Vermithor as I grab the reigns in hand.
