The Dreamer and the Defiant

Aegona had always felt a kinship to The Nameless Girl of The Flames. Felt the sorrow the fires around Valyria held, the hopelessness within the molten rock. At just seven-and-ten, Aegona Daezgygar was a promising young woman of Valyria. The second child of the powerful Raeon Daezgygar and his lady-wife Syrax Belaerys, she was highly educated and regarded with pride by her father. Until she grew independent and strayed from her father's plans for her.

Daenys Targaryen, the youngest child of Aenar Targaryen, had always felt different. The only girl in her household, she had always known what was expected of her. Like wed her brother Gaemon, to blindly support him and their father no matter what. All she had wanted, however, was someone to blindly support her. Daenys had been plagued with visions of the future since birth, scaring her into a lonely, simple life. Dragonless, she had spent most of her youth in the ancient and sprawling libraries of Valyria instead of flying over it on dragonback. Until she met Aegona. Daenys Targaryen and Aegona Daezgygar became inseparable at three-and-ten, spending all their time with each other. Aegona taking Daenys all over the Valyrian Freehold with her dragon Pryjagis, and Daenys recanting for hours all of stories she had ever read to her friend. Then, tragedy struck. This is where this story begins.

Set in 115 BC, thirteen years before the Doom, comes this imagined story of love between the famous Dragon Dreamer, Daenys, and a long forgotten Valyrian girl, Aegona.
