ii. The Dragon Pit.

Start from the beginning
                                    

                    The raven-haired girl had always found it ridiculous how he got laughed at for not having a dragon yet, while the Daemon Targaryen had only claimed his dragon at one and six. It was entirely possible for Aemond to still find a dragon or hatch an egg.

         But for now, he'd just have to fly with Elaena.

THE DUO arrived just in time, as the lessons were about to start. She walked towards her brothers, sending Aemond a nod as in telling him she would stand by her younger brothers.

As she walked towards them, she felt eyes on her. Elaena turned her head around to see Aegon and Aerys staring at them, the King and Queen's oldest and third oldest son. Elaena sent them a glare, making Aerys turn his head back but Aegon didn't move.

The Princess ignored his smirk and turned her attention to her younger brothers, Jacaerys' dragon was first to come out. Vermax gurgled as he walked out of the cave.

She placed her hands on Lucerys and Jacaerys shoulders and gave them a squeeze. They would be learning how to command their dragon to light something on fire, which Elaena had already done plenty of times. But, she remembered the thrill it always gave her.

"Hold!"

"Let him come." One of the dragon keepers spoke in High Valyrian, Elaena slightly pushed Jacaerys forward who only smiled at her.

The Dragon Keepers undid Vermax's chains, letting him come forward. The dragon snarled slightly at them while Aegon yawned, making Aerys giggle.

Once Vermax was loose, he started walking towards Jacaerys. "Call Vermax to heel, Prince Jacaerys."

"Serve." Jacaerys spoke in High Valyrian, Vermax halted for a moment, only to come closer again, "Halt." He quickly spoke again, and this time he listened.

"Well done." The Dragon Keeper praised, making Jacaerys smile at him. The young Prince turned around and faced his older sister and younger brother. The duo gave him a thumbs up, making Jacaerys stifle a chuckle at them.

One of the other Dragon Keepers appeared with a goat, he walked towards Vermax and before creating a large distance between him and the dragon

"Vermax! Vermax." Jacaerys said enthusiastically, wanting his dragon to burn the goat. Vermax didn't seem to listen to Jacaerys, though.

"Halt!" A dragon keeper told the young dragon, who squelched at them.

"You must hold mastery over your dragon, my young Prince. As your sister has done with Sōna and The Cannibal. One they're fully bound to you, they will refuse to take instruction from any other." The Dragon Keeper spoke in High Valyrian, Jacaerys nodded, not understanding a word and started bouncing on his feet as he looked at Vermax.

Another Dragon Keeper translated the High Valyrian for him, as Jacaerys was not fluent in the language.

Vermax hisses and growled, "Can I say it?" The brown-haired Prince asked, the man nodded, "Hmm."
