Aurane and Ser Bonifer should have reached volantis by now, hopefully grandmother and others agree to come here, I have known about them for while now but they were always in the other side of the world, now I can finally call them home

But now is not the time to get emotional there is war coming one that I have to end quickly and efficiently, I have talked to Robb and Maester Aemon to make sure everything is ready

As one of my last living relative Aemon doesn't deserve to die at the wall, so a small donation to the Maesters and sending supplies to the wall quickly released him from his duty at castle black, the man might be blind and old beyond belief but he is the wisest man I know, I have asked for his counsel on lot of things over the years, Robb is my brother no matter what,he stood by me even when I lied about who I was,he has been there for me all my life even if it meant to go against his father

As all things are prepared in the north I have to go check on other things, I call Nightfury to my balcony, as it is night no one can see him in the dark, he is nearly 6 years old now but as the books said he stopped growing at 4,as he silently glides into the big open balcony which I made so that he can come in whenever he wants

Nightfury is so much different than normal dragons,he has 4 strong muscular legs with sharp claws that can tear through anything, his scales are tougher than Valariyan steel even his wings are covered in scales that harden like a whip,his wings are edged with sharp scales that can slice through any armour, but most importantly his dragonfire is insanely strong that can blast through any castle, even Moat Cailin which I built with best materials won't last 10 min under his fire

Nightfury might we smaller but his speed and strength is in a completely different realm, different from normal dragons he can launch fire from any parts of his body but the strongest flames comes from the mouth, Nightfury can also control his flames like a valariyan fire mage that makes him even more deadly,he breathes blood red fire like his eyes

When I finally awakened at 10 I completely bonded with Nightfury,both our fires mixed together after that my fire also became blood red, my magic also shot through the roof but most importantly we are part of eachother, I can't do without him and he can stay without me, we can even communicate with each other with our mind

I climb onto Nightfury as we are ready to take off, flying with him is best experience, he is very fast and extremely agile but no one other me can fly with him, the winds are just to strong for any normal person to ride him, our magic and bond makes it so that the winds don't affect me

In just a few minutes we are already there Skagos, as we fly near the volcano two dragons come an greet us, they are both more than twice as big as Nightfury, yes these are the dragons that hatched from the two stone eggs left behind by my father,I hatched them with living sacrifice a year after Nightfury was born

While Nightfury stays with me aside from hunting, these two dragons stay at skagos, they were hatched here and I left Nightfury here to take care of them till they can hunt on their own, my dragons mostly hunt large fish and sometimes sheep on special occasions but they mostly eat fish, while dragons prefer the taste of sheep fish is better for them

The local people have got used to the dragons flying around but they still stay away from the volcano, I land near the cave in which my dragons stay in and greet my children, I have raised these dragons from when they were the size of cats to now where they can swallow me whole in one bite

As I am the rider of Nightfury an emperor dragon who can command other dragons I don't need to bond with them to communicate, I can just talk to them through Nightfury,both of them are beautiful, Lynix the sky like blue dragon with azure eyes and Rhaenix with silver scales and grey eyes

Both Lynix and Rhaenix are covered in fire runes which are connected to their inner fire, the dragons that died in dragonpit could only be possible because they were bound by chains,even though I would never tie my dragons down if they ever get caught or tied up they can use these runes to melt the chains around their body and fly away, I got this idea from Nightfury's ability

I check both their scales to see if they are hardening properly,the Valariyans for all their tales of taming dragons were never directly able to communicate with dragons, only an awakened can directly talk to dragons, the scales of a dragon can be as hard Valariyan steel when properly harden, but dragon naturally just keep growing and never harden their scales that's why Valariyans tied their dragons up to stop them from growing and harden the scales but even with that most dragons just stop growing and never properly harden their scales

But I can directly communicate with my dragons,so I told them to stop growing at this size and harden their scales with their fire, both of them have nearly harden all their scales,now they can focus on making their fire more strong, I never had to do this with Nightfury because he already harden his scales beyond Valariyan steel when he was 4

In a few moons all my dragons will be battle ready, their only weakness will be their eyes but I am making protection for that too, I don't have to worry about Nightfury because he is too fast for anybody to properly see him let alone shoot at him
