Whisper my name
Hi everyone! My apologies for the long wait! Like I mentioned in An Evening Tale, I have been sick and needed some time to recover. I have also needed some time to get back into the story. It is only one chapter, but more will follow! Just so you know I'm still alive and kicking. *^* - QueenNothingness
Magavin can feel it, the moment Daenys opens her eyes. The dragon has been slumbering, still not having returned to King's Landing.
She eats enough to survive and for the rest just sleeps. It seems Magavin has given up living until her rider wakes up.
Magavin's eyes open in shock when she feels something. She is sure, Daenys is awake. The dragon does not waste any time and takes to the sky, roaring out in joy.
Daenys is disoriented at first. She does not know where she is. She sees she is lying in bed, and smells fresh flowers on her nightstand. She tries to sit up, but understand she can barely lift her arms, so she just looks around dumbfounded.
The door opens and a cry leaves someone's lips, Lady Eleonora quick to run to Daenys. 'Your Grace?! You're awake!' Daenys wants to ask what is going on, but only a puff of air leaves her mouth. She huffs and lies back down into the cushions, wanting to move. Eleonora fills a cup with water, helping Daenys drink it up.
Daenys feels only now how parched her throat is. 'I should go to the King and tell him you're awake. I'll be right back!' Eleonora turns around but a sound leaves Daenys' throat. 'A...Argella?' she eventually manages to whisper, but Eleonora has to hold her ear to Daenys' lips so she can hear what she is saying.
'Lady Argella woke up about a week ago, Your Grace. The maesters deemed it better for her to recover at home. Lord Orys has gone back to Harrenhal with Lady Argella so she can get better. I'm sure she'll come back from the moment she is able to, especially now that you're awake.'
Lady Eleonora bolts out of the door, leaving Daenys alone with her jumbled thoughts. Daenys hears something breathing, and her heart jumps when she sees it is Magavin. Daenys wonders how the dragon has managed to wring herself in Daenys' private gardens, since they are way to small to hold the dragon.
Magavin's humongous snout comes through the window, effectively blocking out the sun. The dragon breathes softly, but Daenys can almost feel her relief. It is with great difficulty that Daenys manages to slide out of bed and her knees buckle several times, body shaking with the strain, of lying weeks down without moving.
Daenys stumbles over to Magavin's snout and drapes her whole upperbody over it, arms encircling the dragon. Magavin is quiet now, and they stay like that for a while. Eventually Magavin pushes Daenys back to her bed, head going back outside.
The she-dragon flies up, and Daenys sees she has destroyed half the plants and flowers in her private garden, but she feels it was worth it.
Her dragon knows she is alive and that is what matters. Hearing from the happy screeches and roars she hears moments later, she is not the only who is happy Magavin has come home.
