"I would like to see Azura mother." Valyria spoke to the queen. The mother and daughter were taking a stroll to the gardens after Valyria's lessons.

Azura was her dragon that was hatched to her at birth. Azura is a beautiful deep midnight blue colored dragon with small gold tips at the end of her scales. As the dragon grew, so did the golden color on her as well. Azura's wings resembled the night sky. Specks of gold throughout them as she flutters her wings making them look like twinkling lights.

"Oh my precious, I don't know if we will be able to. We have much to do today." Alicent looked down to her daughter who was frowning.

"But I haven't seen her and I miss her. Please mother?" Valyria had tears in her eyes as she looked up.

"Valyria I-" the Queen was interrupted mid sentence.

"My Queen, I'm sorry to bother you but your presence has been requested with the hand." A guard spoke and bowed to the two royals.

"Come darling." Alicent held her daughter's hand, ready to bring her along.

"He has requested your presence alone." The guard emphasized the last word.

"My love, why don't you go and find your brothers or your sister. I'm sure they will occupy your time until my return." Alicent had bent down and caressed her daughter's face. She didn't like leaving her along because then she wasn't able to protect her from anything.

"Yes mother." Valyria nodded and went to find Aemond, her very best friend.

Aemond was in the dragon pit with Aegon. The latter of the two was bonding with his dragon.

"What are you doing brother?" She asked her twin.

"Aegon said it would be fun but it's only been him and his dragon." Aemond was sitting and held his head up with his hand.

"Can we get Azura? I miss her." Aemond nodded his head towards the guards. Valyria was saddened her brother did not want to join her but she knew how he felt. For his dragon egg did not hatch and he was the only sibling who was without a dragon.

Valyria made her way to Aegon hoping for her brother's help. "Aegon!" She called as she skipped her way over.

"Yes my dear sister? What is it?" He turned towards the younger girl.

"I wish to see Azura. Please." She begged.

"How about something better!" Aegon asked with a mischievous glint in his eye.

"Like what?" She questioned looking up at him.

"Sunfyre. Bring her here!" Aegon called out to the dragon keepers.

"I don't think it is such a good idea brother." Aemond spoke looking to his older brother.

"No worries! She'll be fine! Isn't that right Valyria?" He looked to his younger sister who had a small smile on her face. Both boys could read her like a book, she wasn't sure if she wanted to ride someone else's dragon. She had her own, whom she loved very much.

Aemond wanted to immediately pull her away and take her back to her chambers to safety whereas Aegon wanted to rush her onto his dragon so she could see how beautiful the world was on the back of an even more beautiful dragon.

"I don't know Aegon. Mother wouldn't be too pleased with me going with you." Valyria played with her hands looking down sadly. She loved her brother and didn't want to disappoint him but their mother would be disappointed as well if Valyria went with him.

"How about we don't tell her." Aegon leaned down and whispered.

"But that would be lying." Her beautiful purple eyes started up at him with sadness. Valyria always did as she was told but Aegon wanted to show her how much fun she could have if she didn't worry so much about what anyone thought of her.
