They are magnificent creatures, the dragons of the royal family.
The first time she sees one fly over the sky , she is seated near her iwndow and lets the wind play in her hair. It' s a tall beast, fearsome, yet the white scales on it's back reflect the sunlight beautifully. She knows it's Meraxes that passes by.
She wonders how it must feel to be able to fly so free and for a moment she dreams, away from the stifling situation of court and the name she as received.
" The virgin queen" , they call her now. It's not a secret that Aegon has not shared her bed yet, though they've been married for at least two or three months now.
Her entourage is small, almost no one attends to her, for they all know they cannot have any favors from her since Aegons doesn't seem to realize she exists She spends much of her time in her rooms, reading, taking over the economical part of ruling the kingdom. First it was pure boredom, but now she spends much of her time working with the hand of the king.
One day, she steps out of the castle into the streets. She has taken one of her old dresses and lets down her hair. Being plain has a upside. No one will recognize her as a queen.
She wanders through the market until she finds herself near the grassy fields on the outskirts of her new home. The air smells amazing and the the sky is blue so she walks softly, and feels the nervousness fall from her shoulders.
She walks for awhile when suddenly the ground turns darker. Before she can blink , one large red eye stare at her, and a tall pitchblack head turns slowly. Balerion. She isn't sure what to do or to think, and stands frozen when the dragon pushes himself up on his arms He envelops her entirely, so much, it seems as if day has turned to night. For a moment she thinks he will swallow her, but then the red eyes stare at her one again and his head sinks down.
With her heart beating in her chest she takes a slow step backwards and then tursd away. It is risky, but she thinks, if the dragon is willing to let her go unharmed, she might try to show him that she trusts him as well.
Balerion, the black dread, has accepted Lysei. Later Lysei thinks he perhaps sensed something in her, but at that moment she is happy to walk away alive.
