Kingslanding

Red keep

Rhaenys pov

Egg and Nightfury are gone once again, she realised egg was gone the moment Arthur came to her in the morning, usually lady Brianne is with her and arthur sticks to egg like his shadow

Egg went to the wall this time to investigate some weird reports coming from the night's watch, arthur says egg will be back before long, while he is gone grandmother is Queen regent for now

She watched her grandmother sit on the Iron Throne and hold court, and it was like the rebellion never happened, grandmother sitting there was soo natural like the dragons were never gone from the seven kingdoms

When Aegon sits on the throne it's like facing against a sleeping dragon, the Iron Throne and the world molds itself for his comfort,while Aegon is completely relaxed and indifferent on the throne anyone facing him is anything but,no one can be calm when they come face to face with a dragon even a sleeping one

But grandmother sits on the throne with all the grace and elegance of a queen, while the lords don't dare go against egg but when facing grandmother they don't even want to, while she understands that this sweet smile is just an act that hides the roaring dragon underneath she too can't help but fall for it

Rhaenys hopes that one day she to will be one day able to handle the court like this,but while she looks dornish she too is a dragons and our blood runs hot, she just can't handle her temper when the lords try to undermine her just because she is woman, while grandmother can use this against them she can't at least not yet

But today everyone in court realised that you can't get caught up in a dragon's beauty than you won't even see the fire coming, early this morning ravens came that a shipment of Dracarys products coming from essos was attacked by a large combined fleet of pirates from the Stepstones

As they were surrounded the men on the ships had to abandon the ships filled Dracarys products, while the Velaryons were ready to sail the royal fleet against the pirates at a moments notice but a lot of lords were suggesting that they wait for the king to come back before taking any action, like grandmother can't do anything without egg being here

But grandmother didn't say a single word and just went out where somehow Rhaenix was already waiting for her,then in front of everyone she just climbed on the silver dragon and flew towards the Stepstones

Aegon is not the only Dragonrider anymore after hundreds of years there are two now,while she and Lynix are getting close she is nowhere near flying with her, but somehow grandmother has already bonded with Rhaenix

Grandmother was gone for a few hours and when she came back she only said that the pirates will no longer be a problem, after that she heard various reports how a silver dragon burned any pirate ships it could find in the Stepstones,people are now wondering that are there even any pirates left there

After this she just wants to see who is foolish enough to question grandmother's orders now, Rhaenys might never have her grandmother's charm but she will definitely have her strength

The Wall

Jon/Aegon pov

While I was hoping to meet with the king beyond the wall today,but I just couldn't find him and Nightfury was getting grumpy will all the walker's cold trying to swallow his fire, so after flying for a while looking for the freefolk camp I decided to return to the wall

But while returning I saw two White walkers attacking a band of freefolk, while having a giant with you can be a great help but in this situation it was a death sentence for the band of freefolk, As I took all the giant tribes south the white walkers are looking for any wandering giants that were left beyond the wall, most of the remaining giants that are still alive are with the freefolk camp now

The two walkers must have attacked because they came across a group of humans and just a single giant with them, Since the white walkers were distracted by the freefolk I attacked and was able to kill both of them

Seeing that I don't have time to search for Mance Rayder I just gave them a dragonglass crystal with a spell so that I can track it form anywhere, when they go back I and give the crystal to Mance Rayder I won't have to search for him every time I come beyond the wall, and if the crystal doesn't make it to him it's just a crystal I have mountains of dragonglass in Dragonstone and skagos

With that done Nightfury and I made our way to the wall to rest for a while and then return to Kingslanding but after a few hours of rest I came to Nightfury to fly away from here but I found him hanging upside down from a piece of ice jutting out of the wall, it was like possum sleeping on a tree's branch

You are a dragon at least try and act to like one, most of the time he is like a cat playing with anything shiny or interesting and now he is sleeping upside on the wall snoring away without a care in the world like a bat in a cave

This is the dragon that shocked the entire seven kingdoms and gave the lords many sleepless nights but if they saw him now they would be confused rather than afraid

Times like these are when I am reminded that Nightfury is just a child, he is seven this year and with his long life he is more like a little kid than a fearsome fire breathing dragon

After a few nudges he woke up but he was still grumpy and started throwing snow at me, leave it to a dragon to start a snowball fight right on top of a 700ft tall wall of ice, even though I tried to be mad at him but I just can't

With me being king and preparing for the long night I just never get the chance to play like this anymore, even though Nightfury has the emotional maturity of a overexcited cat he understands that I needed this

But I can't play for long with the burden of running the seven kingdoms on my shoulders,so Nightfury and I took off for kingslanding after playing for a while
