Led By Fiery Passion { Aemond Targaryen}

Part 6

"I can't believe Father and Mother betrothed me to that!" Aegon says as both him and Aemond look at their sister Helena sitting on the floor playing with a bug in her hand.

"She is your sister, and to possibly be your queen one day. Show her some respect!" Aemond tells him as he sticks up for their sister.

"Then you marry her, ahh but I forgot you already have someone else in mind don't you!" Aegon teases "well at least we have one thing in common, and that's creatures with long legs." Picking up a cup of wine he makes his leave following a maid.

"Do you prefer creatures with long legs as well? Aenyra whispers in Aemond ear from behind him causing him to be startled.
"AENYRA , you almost made my heart jump out of my chest. Can't you walk a little louder or announce yourself instead of being quiet and sneaky?"

"Hmm I could but theirs no fun in that."
Both kids smile to one another as it's their first time seeing one another since her family left.
As Aenyra was about to speak again shes taken aback by the words Helena speaks under her breath as she looks down at her insects
"He'll have to lose an eye."

Not really understanding the mumbles Helena always speaks Aenyra just brushes it off.
"Aemond, I'm really sorry I never wrote you back. I was just grieving Sir Harwin in my own way.. and then my aunt Laena dies It just seemed like it was one thing after another and I'm sorry."

Aemond didn't expect an apology from her. He knew Harwin was as close to her as a father would be, he just felt helpless not being able to be there for her. If only he had a dragon.. he could fly to Dragonstone anytime he wished and be with her.

"Theirs nothing to forgive Aenyra, I'm sorry for your losses by the way. I know one may be a little late but-"

"Better late than never." She says finishing his sentence.

Seeing Rhaenyra come in their direction she pulls Aenyra away, interrupting her and Aemond's little reunion.

"It's getting late, I need you to get your brother and go back to your rooms for the night." She says sternly with no room for Negotiations. As her mother walks away from the wake she notices everyone but Daemon is in attendance.
Snapping back to reality, she goes to leave to find her brothers when Aemond stops her in her tracks.

"Tonight, will you come with me to the beach I wish to show you something!"

"Okay." She replies to him with a soft voice.
Taking one last look at one another before she turns to leave.

————-

Later that night when the wake gives way and everyone is in their respective rooms, she tucks her brothers into bed and leaves to meet Aemond. Darkness surrounds her as she walks down the path of the sand dunes calling out for Aemond.

A hand makes its way into hers from behind and she knows immediately it's Aemond.

"You could've just answered me when I called you , you know." Aenyra tells him with a lopsided smile

"Hmm, I could've but there's no fun in that." Aemond says copying her words from earlier.

"Why did you drag me all the way out here for anyways?"

"Vhagar."

"Vhagar? As in my aunt Laena's dragon, that Vhagar?"

"Yes that Vhagar, is there any other?"Aemond says sarcastically.

"Of course I know you mean that Vhagar, I was just shocked." She deadpans "ohh no no nooo I know what you're thinking. You wish to claim the she-dragon don't you!"

"You know me so well, what do you think!" Aemond tells her with a smile and a hint of even more sarcasm than before. " you with me?" Nervously he ask her as he waits for her to answer.

"Always!" Aenyra says taking his hand in hers as they both make their way further down the beach away from Driftmarks castle.

As the two sneak a peek over the sand dune at the enormous she-dragon Vhagar, Aenyra smirks as she looks at Aemond's nervous face.
"Not getting cold feet are we?"

Taking a deep exhale he shakes his head as he makes his resolve.
Standing up Aenyra grabs hold of his hand yanking him back down to the sand beside her.

"What's the matter?" Confusion on his face

"I just... what happens if she doesn't allow you to claim her?" Asking him even though she already knows the answer to the question.

"Then I guess you'll have to find a new friend!"

"Joking in a time like this?"
Heaving a breath of frustration Aenyra runs all the possibilities of losing him in her head.

Placing his hand on her cheek, Aemond leans down slightly and places a feather
Light kiss to her lips it happened so face that she wasn't even sure it really happened.

Coming back to her senses she notices  Aemond isn't beside her anymore but already half way to the Dragon Vhagar.  "You got this Aemond!"
Cheering for him quietly as she watches Aemond shouts as he lifts his hand up.
"Dohaeras, Vhagar! Lykiri"

Seeing the enormous she dragon open her mouth with fire creeping to come out just like Dreamfyre's did, Aenyra starts to panicking.

"Dohaeras, Vhagar!!!! Lykiri."
Aemond says with a strong booming voice with no hints of being scared.

Vhagar brings her face down low looking Aemond in the face and slowly closing her mouth as she begins to move her body. Aemond waste no time climbing up to mount her.

"YES!!! You did it Aemond you finally did it!"
Aenyra couldn't even explain her happiness for Aemond, but if she could she would imagine it was as if she had claimed the dragon herself.
Watching them take off and fly up to the nights starry skies she could hear Aemond screaming with excitement as he had just claimed the largest dragon there is.
