Dragon's Oracle // Daemon Targaryen

4. Caraxes

Year 112 AC

*Kings Landing*

Aelana was standing next to Ser Harrold West, waiting for Rhaenyra to come back from riding Syrax. She was out soaking in the sun and the smell of Dragon skin and the hint of dragon flames in the air. While Alicent had decided to stay inside the carriage and deny to come out even once.

Aelana had turned into a beautiful woman, at the age of only 19. She had many suitors who wanted her hand, for her beauty, her strength and her authority.

Her beauty sometimes even rival the Princess Rhaenyra's.

Of course Rhaenyra, herself, always claimed that Aelana was much more beautiful than her but, Aelana, would ignore that and say that nothing in this universe could even come close to the beauty of The Realm's Delight.

Standing next to Ser Harrold who was sitting on the horse, Aelana smoothly moved her hand across the horse mane. noticing this Ser Harrold asked her "are you okay my lady"

Aelana kept moving her hand across the horse back and said "She is a little thirsty my lord. make sure you get her some water"

Ser Harrold look at her in a curious way. Everyone who knew Aelana well, knew that she could understand animals emotion to a extend an average human can not. maybe it came as a part of being Amaris witch.

"Did she told you that my Lady?" Ser Harrold asked very truthfully and Aelana laughed, she laughed a full on deep laugh "You humor me well Ser." That all she said, leaving Ser Harrold confused.

They were both disturbed from their conversation at Syrax roars. They look up and found Syrax heading down towards them.

Once Syrax was finally landed, Rhaenyra got off her dragon and saw Aelana walking toward her "Lana!" she walked forward and hugged her friends tightly.

"I guess you guys had a great flight. your happiness and Syrax excitement is so contagious Nyra" Aelana said in a hug and then took a step back.

"He is excited? you can feel it?"

"as clear as Alicent's disgust whenever she hears Syrax's roar" At this Rhaenyra chuckled and hit her friend arm "come on, we all know that you wish that you could feel human emotions as well you understands animals"

Aelana said nothing in return, Rhaenyra took her arm in her own and they started to walked toward the carriage where Alicent was standing, a few feet away.

"welcome back princess. I hope your ride was pleasant" Ser Harrold said and Rhaenyra smiled back "try not to look too relieved, Ser"

"I am relieved Princess. every time that golden beast brings you back unspoiled. it saves my head from spike."

Rhaenyra just rolled her eyes smiling while Aelana said back "you are too precious to lost Ser"

At this Ser Harrold blushed but the Targaryen girls laughed. They reached the carriage and were greeted by Alicent.

"Syrax is growing quickly. soon he will be as large as Caraxes. enough to saddle two" Aelana knew it was a subtle invitation to Alicent who openly denied it "I am quite happy as a spectator thanks" 

Rhaenyra look at Aelana who just shrugged "I wonder how much a good view it is from inside a carriage which have small window"

Rhaenyra just smiled back "you know once syrax could saddle two, you will be first ride with me."

"I hope so dear niece otherwise there will be blood shed. a lot of it"

"oh we don't want that aunty"

"don't call me aunty make me feel old"
