The Dragons that have Come Part 1:
You looked at the Dragon Eggs that were hot to the touch, for most people, in hot coals and steaming water. It was scalding, in the pot, that was taken away.
The Three Eggs were all from Dreamfyre's brood, of the thirty that were nearly brought into the world, but they were not entirely there… Some of the eggs had to be moved, some to Dragonstone, while others were… locked away, hidden.
It only added to the depression the Dragon was feeling when you were escorted by your brothers and the Dragonkeepers.
You looked at the three of them with a smile. "Alright, remember what I told you, it requires heat, time, and energy."
"But what does that even mean?" Aegon asked as he sat down, looking at the Dragon egg in front of him. "They just hatch if we touch them?"
The Dragon keeper then spoke, of course, in Valyrian. "The Dragon only hatches when the bond is forged. Dragons are creatures, powerful creatures, but they are still highly intelligent beings, capable of emotion and thought, and instinct. They require many things. Constant care, training, and discipline, as well as the Rider being of sound mind."
You looked to your brothers. "Yeah… what he said."
The Dragon Keeper was not amused by your nonchalance. "It would be wise to heed us. Dragons are more dangerous than wolves."
You nodded. "Indeed. And while you lock them up, they grow weaker and less able to be a threat."
The Dragon keeper realized that you were not happy with him. "The King wishes to keep the Dragons…"
"Under control, docile and weak. You're certainly doing a good job of it." You then took a breath, as you finally worked up the courage to grab the eggs. "We're doing this outside."
"That is not wise." The Dragon keeper said. "The Dragons realize what will happen, and they will try to break free."
"Yes. That is the point. The Dragon pit can survive them wishing one thing."
"What are you talking about?" Viserys asked as you handed him an egg then Jaehaerys and Aegon.
"Something important." You stated. "If you want this done, we will have to do it outside."
As you led them out, you saw the Dragon keepers gather, with their Dragon Glass daggers ready to wield. They were ready to prevent another death… of themselves or you and your brothers. But you were not afraid.
You couldn't be.
As you got out of the dark pit, you could see the Dragons gathering, coming forward towards you and your brothers. They were watching you… You may not understand them like you did Grey Ghost, but you knew they were waiting for something.
As the three brothers stopped, you then realized what was happening… "Get Ready." You said as you heard the thumping of wings. It was the Grey Ghost.
He arrived with a thunderous landing, blasting a huge gust of wind, nearly knocking you down as you walked forward. He bowed his head, and you scratched his scales. He made a humming sound that sounded like a volcano… right before an eruption. A common sign on the southern side of Dragonstone, where the wild dragons used to call home.
"Help me." You whispered.
And the Ghost opened his mouth, and you realized what he was asking. "Aegon… come here." Your frailest brother coughed before he obeyed your order, and he saw the flame billowing from inside the mouth of the Large Dragon.
"What are you-" Your brother was terrified at seeing the razor-sharp teeth and flame coming from its mouth.
"Do you trust me?" You asked as you placed both of your hands on his shoulders. "Because right now, if you do not trust me, and trust that egg in your hand? You will die."
Aegon was silent… He nodded his head. "I trust you."
You then made him hold his hands out. "Whatever you do… Don't let go."
Aegon nodded. "DRACARYS!" You shouted, and Grey Ghost obeyed.
Aegon screamed when flame erupted from the mouth of the Dragon. But then you saw the egg doing what you knew it was going to do… When there was a bond and trust is formed. You had long read that the Valyrians, when hatching an egg, placed it in the crib of the child, to use the natural warms to coax it out of the eggs.
But Daemon found a very small fragment in the Citadel when he was being treated for his injuries. Death by Fire is the Purest Death… but he thought it was a mistranslation. A translation of an older source. Because Death and Birth were near the same word.
The Fire absorbed into the egg, protecting your brother from much of the heat that would have otherwise killed him. Though his white hair had singes and his shirt had scorch marks.
But as the stream stopped… you saw the cracks form, the egg losing integrity.
Then the egg hatched. The little black dragon broke free, and let out a sound of life.
It gave cute yellow eyes to Aegon, who could only stare at it with intense focus, fear, and then… relief.
You then saw Aegon then fall backward, onto his backside, as the little dragon nuzzled his still smoking shirt. He was lost for words. He could only stare at the small dragon he had trusted with his life that had now joined him.
You then turned to your other brothers with a smile. "Who's next?
------------------------------------------------------------------
You were tired from the Dragon Hatching.
As you wandered the Keep, you found yourself moving ever towards:
[]The King and his Court: It seems he was hosting a small council meeting. And you just waltzed right in like you owned the place. In fact, he seemed relieved that you were there.
[]The Princess and the Queen: Rhaeynera and Alicent were with Queen Aemma doing more… ladies like stuff. Though they seemed to welcome your company. As you looked at the Queen's pregnant form, you could only think back to your mother… and all the children the Queen had lost.
[]The Strong And the Weak: The Strong Brothers are in court, chatting and being otherwise… notable. Though you couldn't help but look at Larys with investigative glares. He was not… friendly. Mushroom was there too… being picked on.
[]Mothers and Father's and Destiny: Mother and father were in their little room, and they had been working to get little Shara to sleep. But she kept wailing until you arrived.
[]The Orange and the Ruby: Good ole Aegor is trying to get your attention, him and his brothers. Maybe if you ignore him, he would go away?
AN: Enjoy.
