VIII. POISONOUS STAGS

"What brother am I if I take it from my own sibling" he said as he looked to Stannis who fell silent. "Do we have an accord then?" Rhaenya asked as she looked to Stannis. "We regain Dragonstone, and you shall have us as bannermen, with our army and dragons" she said as she looked at him. "Agreed" Stannis said and held out his hand as they shook on it before they all left the room. Many gasped at the sight of two dragons as Sunfyre landed before them, growling at all those trying to come near. Sunfyre had been the size, of not larger than Dreamfyre used to be, maybe even Vermithor as Viserion and Drogon, as well as Rhaegal grew to be the size of Arrax already.

All the dragons grew fast and great. Stannis and Davos looked in awe of the Golden dragon, named the most beautiful of its time, as Sunfyre bowed and let Aegon and Rhaenya climb into the saddle before taking off. Back to Meereen as they went to bed after a long day. In the morrow Rhaenya had dressed herself in a soft purple dress as she joined her sister. "I wish to hear the people, and their complaints to see how we may help" Daenerys said as she took her sister's hand. "It sounds like a wonderful idea, sister" Rhaenya said before they were joined by Aegon.

"Did you ever hear the worries of the people?" Daenerys asked as Aegon stood before them, in a more Essosi style outfit, with deep purple and blue colours. "I was never King outside of war, we never heard the complaints of the Small Folk, only of the Lords who disagreed with Rhaenyra and then disagreed with me, it was the rich complaining about the rich" Aegon said as he placed his hands behind his back. Daenerys nodded as she invited him to stand with them. In the Hall they had placed a seat for Daenerys and Rhaenya, with ser Barristan and Missandei on one side, and Jorah with Aegon on the other.

"You stand in the presence of Daenerys Stormborn and Rhaenya Wildfyre of the House Targaryen" Missandei said as she looked at the first to enter, Grey worm and Sure Spear who had been a Captain of the Unsullied. "First of their names, the Unburnt, the Queens of Meereen, Queens of the Andals, the First Men, and the Rhoynar, Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea" Missandei said as she looked to the man. "Breaker of Chains and Mother of Dragons" she said as she turned towards the Queens. Daenerys wore a blue and white dress, and her hair had been twisted out of her face as Rhaenya looked to the man hiding in the shadows.

"Do not be afraid, my friend" Daenerys said as she looked to the man. "The Queen says you may approach and speak" Missandei said as she looked to the man, gesturing he could come closer as he shakingly did. Rhaenya watched the man as he made his way to her. He held something in his arms, something light it seemed, wrapped in cloth as he stood before the great steps. He stakes a few steps up but does not walk past the Unsullied. The man spoke as he looked down.

"The man is a goatherd; he says he prayed for your victory against the slave masters" Missandei said as Rhaenya gave him a kind smile in thanks. "We thank him for his prayers" Daenerys said as she looked to the man giving him a smile in thanks as well. Missandei translated for her Queen as the man kept looking down. He then knelt down and placed the cloth on the ground, undoing the cloth to show what he had brought. Rhaenya looked to the content and saw black burned bones of what looked to be, well, a goat. The man spoke as Missandei listened.

"It was your dragons, Your Graces, they came this morning and he hope he doesn't offend you but now he has nothing" Missandei said as she turned to Daenerys. Aegon closed his eyes, feeling foolish to not realise this sooner. Drogon, Viserion and Rhaegal had been young, and would eat like true wild dragons, whenever and whatever they could find. Daenerys nodded as she realised this was bound to happen as well.

"Tell this man I am sorry for his hardship. We cannot bring back his goats, but we will see he is paid their value three times over" Daenerys said as Missandei translated. The man bowed and said his word of thanks as he took his belongings with him. "Perhaps this could make us realise we might need to buy our own herd to feed the dragons, Your Grace" Aegon said, leaning on one leg as he turned to Daenerys. "They will fly wherever anyways, but we may try" Daenerys agreed in the hopes they will not attack those who cannot afford to lose their flock.
