Dragons Blood

2.

Maegoryia POV

Város landed calmly into the dragon pit and knelt to the floor to allow me to safely hop off of my saddle, down to his wing. "Nyke Jāhor ūndegon al another Város" I told him as I walked off to where my brothers and nephews were. "Mae! we were just about to show Aemond his new dragon!" Lucerys claimed as I caught up to them. I was confused on what Luke was talking about. You cannot simply 'find' someone a dragon, it is quite the opposite actually. The dragon will find you if anything. I go and stand beside my nephew, Jacaerys, who smiled kindly at me when he saw me go to stand with him, and I returned his smile and turned to Aemond. "Behold, the pink dread!" Lucerys yells as he brings out a pig. I only look at my brother in disgust as he laughs along with Jace and Luke. "Be sure to mount her carefully. First ride is always tough." Aegon snickers into our brother's ear. I stare at Aemond sadly and try to give him a light smile. "I also did not have a dragon until merely months ago. You will find a dragon Aemond. It just takes time." I try to cheer him up but all I get is a small smile that does not reach his eyes as he walks away.

"Aegon." I say as I turn and give Aegon, along with Luke and Jace a frown. "Why must you all make fun of Aemond? It is rude, he is family." I said, directed at all three of the boys. Luke is the only one who looks guilty while Aegon tries to explain how it is just games and jokes, nothing harmful. "No Aegon, I will not hear of it. You all did not make 'jokes' or 'games' at me when I did not have a dragon either so I do not understand why you all give him a hard time." and with that I walk away, not once looking back as I head inside.

I had found my sister in our mother's chambers playing with her bugs. I did not say anything as I just sit beside her and looked at the bugs in slight disgust. "How was Város maemae?" Helaena asked me after moments of silence, using the nickname shes always had for me since she was a babe and could not pronounce my name right, and her gaze still on her bugs. I just looked at her, not remembering when I told her I went out for a ride but I just ignored my thought and replied, "Tis was nice sister. Very refreshing to be in the clouds again." The only reply I got was a curious hum. I picked up the book by her and realized it was about all the kinds of flowers around the world. Helaena and I sat there, at the foot of our mothers bed, Helaena playing with her bugs and I reading about all the types of flowers for the rest of the day.

I was awoken from my sleep by my little brother trying to wake me and whispering my name. "Yes brother?" I ask in confusion, just wanting to go back to sleep. "I want you to come with me while I try and claim Vhager." I just look at him, confused on why I must be woken for this, and why he would want to claim a dragon that is in mourning for her rider, it could be dangerous. But Aemond being Aemond, he gave me his best sad face and I just sigh and get up and grab my cloak on the way out.

"Aemond, are you sure this is a good idea? I mean, she just lost her only peaceful rider. You could die if she rejects." He just shakes his head and walks faster, "Yes but it would be worth it. I would finally have a dragon and brother wouldn't make fun of me anymore." I just look at him as he looks determined. I just nod slightly, still having doubts. I do understand why he wants a dragon so bad. I mean, we are Targaryens. Even if most Targaryens over the years did not have dragons, his whole family did. So why shouldn't he have one. It simply isn't fair on how some eggs never hatch, mine did not, but I was okay with that because I found Város, but Aemond? He had no dragon, he was lonely, even if I would tell him he had me, but he refuses. He is ambitious.

I was so stuck in my thoughts that I hadn't realized we were at the hill that Vhager had been resting on. "Aemond. We can always go back." Aemond turns to me and just says, "I want to do this mae. I'll be okay. I promise." all I can do is sigh and nod my head as he gives me an encouraging smile that I return and he walks up the hill to where Vhager lies. I see him trying to tame her and thats when she opens her jaw and my breath quickens, thinking I am about to see my brother die, but then I see her close her jaw and signal for Aemond to claim onto the mount. I stare in amazement as I see my brother fly above me on Vhagers back. I yell in excitement for him,
clapping with a smile on my face.
