The Dragon in the North

Aegon Targaryen

'Helaena!' Aegon stormed into Heleana's room looking for her. 'Aegon, what's wrong?' 'Have you heard from Dany or had a vision? I haven't seen Vermithor.' 'What do you mean you didn't see Vermithor, where were you?' 'I flew past Dragonstone and before you say anything, I know it was irresponsible. But can you please answer my question?' 'I didn't receive a letter from her, but I did receive a vision and according to it, she is where nature is white, coloured and the wolf and the dragon become friends.

Aegon already knew that Helaena could never say exactly what she saw in her visions and could only give them in hints or riddles. White, Wolf.... Dany is in the north. 'Helaena, do you think you can cover for me for some time. I just don't know for how long?' 'No problem. Go to her. She'll need you.' Helaena took Aegon in her arms and wished him a safe flight.

He made his way to the dragon pit unnoticed. Aemond was too busy with his training and so it was easy for Aegon to fly away with Sunfyre. The closer Sunfyre and Aegon got to the north, the calmer the golden dragon became.

With Daenys

'Thank you Eny for granting Arra her last wish.' 'She was my best friend, and I wish I could have done more.' Daenys and Cregan looked up at the sky and their thoughts were once again their time with Arra. 'Cregan, can I tell you something?' 'Of course. Anything to distract me, I'll gratefully accept. So, who is the guy who makes you so happy?' 'Does the name Aegon Targaryen mean anything to you?' 'Of course, he's the eldest son of King Viserys and his second wife. I haven't met him yet, so I can't tell you what to make of him.' 'The guy, as you put it so nicely, is Aegon. We first met two years ago and thanks to his younger sister Helaena, we got together. He makes me really happy, and I enjoy every minute with him.' 'Then I'm looking forward to meeting him and talking to him in big brother style.' They both laughed heartily at Cregan's comment.

Back to Aegon

Sunfyre flew on towards Winterfell. Aegon saw three large dragons from afar and if he wasn't mistaken, one of them was Vermithor. Dany was in Winterfell, but why? Aegon let Sunfyre circle over Winterfell a few more times, but so that no one could see him.

With Daenys

Daenys and Cregan made their way back to Vermithor, Silverwing, Meraxes and Shadow. 'Cregan, I haven't seen your Direwolve for a while, is everything all, right?' 'He's been out in the wild a lot. I hardly ever see him. Unfortunately, I don't have a close bond with him like you do with Shadow.' 'I'm sorry to hear that.' Silence fell again. When they reached the dragons, Daenys stroked their muzzles and stroked Shadow's thick fur. Suddenly Daenys and Cregan heard a dragon roar. Silverwing and Meraxes were already rearing to their full height, only Vermithor wasn't. 'It's all right, Meraxes, Silverwing. The dragon is no threat to us all.'

Sunfyre began his descent and landed in front of Daenys and Cregan. Aegon dismounted from Sunfyre and looked around in awe. As soon as Daenys saw Aegon, she ran to him and jumped into his arms. Aegon was only too happy to catch his beloved. 'What are you doing here?' 'I was worried and wanted to see you.' Daenys just smiled to herself. 'So, you must be the guy who makes my little sister happy.' Aegon turned white as a sheet at Cregan's words. He swallowed once and accepted Cregan's outstretched hand gratefully. 'I suppose I will be. But now I have two questions. What do you mean by little sister and who are the other two dragons?' 'Cregan is like a big brother to me. I grew up here in Winterfell until I was twelve. The two dragons are Meraxes and Silverwing, also known as the Silver Duo. They've been with me since the first minute I was in this world.'

Aegon was very surprised, but also very proud of the girl he loved more than anything. 'I'll leave you two alone for a while, but there's something I'd like to talk to you about, Aegon.' Cregan headed back to Winterfell, leaving the young couple alone. 'How did you know I wasn't at Dragonstone? Did you do something unreasonable?' 'Yes, I flew over Dragonstone and didn't see Vermithor. But I was flying very high up so no one could see me. I know it was unreasonable.' Daenys took his face in her hands and kissed him lovingly. Aegon didn't want to break the kiss and tried to deepen it, but he hadn't reckoned with Shadow. He pushed himself between the two of them, causing them both to break the kiss. 'Aegon, this is Shadow, my Direwolve. He was given to me by Cregan's father, Lord Rickon.' 'He's beautiful and so big. How did you manage to bring him here?' 'On the back of my dragons. I taught them. It's very useful.'

Aegon stroked Shadow through his fur and Shadow enjoyed the affection from the boy who owned his owner's heart. Daenys sat on the ground leaning against Meraxes and watched Aegon with Shadow.

Can't it always be this harmonious and calm?

I hope you enjoyed this brief change of perspective. Should I include something like this more often?
