The story of how Aemond Targaryen claimed the egg of his beloved dragon, Naerys

A/N- Welcome to another episode of 'Let's forget canon exists and everything and everyone is fine :)'

Rhaenyra had to restrain herself from running. The excitement she felt almost made her consider otherwise. But she decided that it may be unwise for a future queen of the Seven Kingdoms to be dashing across the Red Keep. She settled for a brisk walk and soon she arrived at her destination.

Nodding at the Kingsguard knight, who allowed her to pass through the door. She hurried into the bedroom and walked towards the seven year old Aemond, who was still fast asleep as it was just the crack of dawn.

Rhaenyra smiled at her baby brother and moved to wake him up.

"Aemond? Wake up brother!" He stirred a bit and squinted his purple eyes at her.

"...Nyra? It's still early…I am sleepy.." he mumbled out, reaching for a pillow and covering his face.

"Well then…I take it you don't want your very own dragon egg then. Go back to sleep, my prince." She smiled, seeing him tense up and sit up in a blink of an eye, sleep all forgotten.

"Egg?! Did Syrax lay her eggs?!" He all but screamed, jumping out of bed and rushing towards the door.

Rhaenyra caught him before he could run out and cause a commotion. She knelt down to his height and whispered to the excited child.

"Now Aemond. You have to be calm when we approach Syrax. We do not want to frighten her. She will let you choose from her clutch but you must remain calm." Aemond nodded quite enthusiastically. "Besides you need to dress properly, we do not want you catching a cold."

Rhaenyra helped him dress and they were soon on their way to the Dragonpit, with Rhaenyra telling Aemond how she felt her girl's discomfort through their bond last night. When she had arrived in the Dragonpit, Syrax had laid two of her eggs and the remaining two had been laid quite early in the morning when she arrived to be with her golden lady.

They arrived at the Dragonpit. Rhaenyra could feel Aemond trembling with anticipation. The duo made their way towards Syrax, who was curled over her eggs quite protectively. She took Aemond's hand and walked towards Syrax.

"Rytsas dōna riña !" ("Hello sweet girl!") Rhaenyra called out, stroking Syrax's golden nose. "Aemond iksis kesīr naejot ūndegon ao." ("Aemond is here to see you.")

"Rytsas Syrax!" ("Hello Syrax"!)Aemond pronounced the High Valryian slowly and clearly, looking at Rhaenyra who nodded in approval.

Syrax looked at Aemond and lowered her snout into the outstretched hands of the excited boy who immediately began stroking her snout. She liked seeing the young ones with Rhaenyra and they absolutely loved her. Syrax closed her eyes and let out a sound of contentment and nuzzled into the hands of Aemond, much to the amusement of Rhaenyra and to the delight of her brother. She then unfolded her tail to reveal four beautiful eggs which had Aemond gasping with wonder. Syax gently nudged the awestruck boy towards the clutch.

Rhaenyra waited with baited breath as she saw Aemond slowly sat down in front of the clutch and almost moving in a trance like state, he picked up a deep blue egg speckled with dark violet spots. He looked to her in delight as he reverently held the egg in his hand.

"Kirimvose, ñuha riña." ("Thank you, my lady.") Aemond solemnly addressed Syrax, carefully standing up and moving towards Rhaenyra's side who gave his shoulder an affectionate squeeze.

Bidding goodbye to the Golden Lady, the sister and brother made their way to the Red Keep to relay the morning's events to their delighted father, siblings and a proud Alicent.

So was the story of how Aemond Targaryen claimed the egg of his beloved dragon, Naerys, who grew into an astonishing beauty similar to her mother, the Golden Lady, Syrax. With a deep blue colouring speckled with violet she was Aemond's pride and joy. It was a sight to behold when Princess Rhaenyra along with Syrax took to the skies with Aegon, Helaena and Aemond along with their dragons, Sunfyre, Dreamfyre and Naerys. They were the realm's pride and the joy of King Viserys, the First of his name.
