Chapter 3- Meet the Slayer
Daemon Targaryen IV
Daemon Targaryen watches the sailors and sell-swords manning this large ship, the dreadnought his nephew calls it, Daemon Targaryen rubs the bones holding the sails together.
Imagining what kind of dragon it was before his young brother got his hands on it, well one hand at least.
The Bewilder, the captain Eret, speaks about how big this dragon was, how it lived in the Shivering Sea and swam for his food, Daemon would have loved to see a dragon swimming in the sea, giving the bone a pat. Turning to see his dragon still sleeping on deck.
Been a day since Daemon was captured by the Bewilder Dreadnought, his dragon Caraxes is still locked up on top of the deck, Daemon keeps checking on him to see he's alright.
So far he has been sleeping the whole trip, something Daemon never thought possible.
Daemon mostly has been kept on deck, still without Dark Sister and his dagger. He isn't a prisoner but he isn't a guest either, everyone kept their eye on him. Daemon is not even allowed inside the ship itself, restricted from him.
So far he got to know his nephew, Maegor Targaryen.
His dwarf nephew, Maegor Targaryen, Daemon smirks at this, his brother still has his sense of humour naming the first Targaryen Dwarf after Maegor the cruel.
"Never seen a dragon sleep?" Maegor calls out, turning to see his dwarf nephew with his baby dragon Nibble sleeping on his shoulder.
"Not this long, how can you make a dragon sleep?" Daemon asked, narrowing his eyes at some sailors going behind his caged dragon.
"Mostly spoiled meat and some berries, keep them sleep for a while, even work on people" Maegor explains, Daemon looks at the people going behind his dragon, getting pissed.
"THE FUCK ARE YOU CUNTS DOING!?" Daemon shouted to run over there but stopped when a few sailors pulled out their weapons, stopping him as he glared at them.
"Oh calm down Uncle, they are taking care of the Blood Wyrm" Maegor explains, Daemon looks to see the sailors wearing masks with big bags.
"Are you..?" Daemon focuses on seeing the sailors picking up Caraxes shit.
"Picking up shit" Daemon smiled seeing him, laughing to himself while everyone glared at him.
"Yes we are uncle, you never clean up after your beloved dragon" Maegor asked, Daemon shakes his head.
"Clean up? Dragon shit wherever they want, who would clean up after a dragon" Daemon said, Dragon keepers guard and maintain dragons, feeding them and getting them used to High Valyrian.
"We do of course, after father found ways to use dragon shit" Maegor states to his uncle, getting a surprised look of amusement on his face.
"My brother Dregon, used dragon shit" Daemon spoke with amusement in his voice, finding it hilarious his younger brother going deep in dragon shit, everyone glares at him.
"The free cities of Esso pay the same weight in gold, dragon shit is worth gold, after my father showed it off" Maegor states, walking away from his uncle, as Daemon follows.
"Dragon's shit" Daemon laughs to himself, finding anyone wanting to buy dragon shit stupid.
Dragon's eggs, bones even scale, Daemon understand but shit.
Perhaps Dregon is more merchant than warrior, selling ticks for gold, a good trick using dragon shit for gold, Daemon chuckles to himself, but frowns.
"Tell me, what does my brother sell, bones, scales, eggs?" Daemon asked with a frown, if Dregon is selling eggs to Esso.
"You take my father for a fool, he would never sell eggs, no matter what price they offer" Maegor states, giving Nebble a pet as he opens his eyes, yawning while climbing on his shoulders.
"What does he sell then?" Daemon asked, before Maegor could answer.
"DEATHGRIPPER AHEAD" Eret shouted, getting the attention of the Targaryen's
Maegor and Daemon looked ahead to see another large ship made of dragon bones, a sail of black like leather, panel of dark wood with many more weapons on it, scorpions, catapults and many bone spikes around the ship. Daemon looks closer to see other ships surrounding the mighty dreadnought, even a few small dragons as well.
"Dragons? My brother has dragon riders?" Daemon asked, seeing a few dragons with riders on them, holding stuff in their talons, even pulling the ships with ropes.
Dragonseeds? Valyrian descent from house Targaryen?
"Of course, fight fire with fire, killing dragons are easier riding dragons" Maegor said, Nibble roaring to the other dragons, Maegor noticed something in the distance.
"Has Dregon tamed a dragon?" Daemon asked, thinking if his brother finally got over his fear of dragons, taming one to ride but Maegor shakes his head.
"My father would never ride one, and tame one? oh dear uncle you have no idea what we do" Maegor said, looking closer out in the distance.
"My brother caught a dragon too, that tall fool" Maegor mutters to Daemon, seeing what Maegor sees, a ship behind the Deathgripper attached to the large ship with a metal chain. Looking to see a bone like cage covering a grey dragon.
This grey dragon groans as Daemon sees a large spear sticking on his side, Daemon sees the poor beast try to move its body, but moans in pain with Daemon noticing the spear attached to the ship itself.
"Your brother?" Daemon asked, looking at more ships surrounding the sea, they must be near Bravos.
"You see my brother and I had a bet, we both design a weapon to capture a dragon alive for father, we argued which one is better, until our dear old dad decide to make a bet out of it, whoever get a dragon first to him alive wins" Maegor explains the bet he has with his twin brother, petting his dragon to Daemon interest.
"Really? and what is the reward for this bet?" Daemon asked, curious about his bet now, looking to see a few dragons around the ships as well.
"The winning weapon would be made for the fleet, said weapon would be named after us, and soon captain the next Dreadnought our Father is building" Maegor said, narrowing his eyes, seeing a dragon coming their way.
"Another Dreadnought?" Daemon said in wonder, another dragon bone ship his brother is making.
"INCOMING" Eret shouted, everyone ducks as a dragon flies over them, Daemon looks to see a yellow dragon with blue around the body.
And a young white haired rider on it,
"Wooooo HEY EVERYONE" the Valyrian child greeted with joy, as Maegor signed.
"Here comes the fool" Maegor looks to see his younger brother flying on his dragon, Daemon looks up to see the dragon landing on deck, with the boy climbing off.
The boy was about 10 name-days, a bit big for a child. A black tonic with two swords on his back, a big smile and white hair cut very short.
Aenys Targaryen, Dregon second oldest son and Daemon other nephew.
"Little brother, did you see my dragon, me and Goregutter caught it around with my Dragon Hook Shoot" Aenys grins, patting his dragon Goregutter as he points at the dragon behind the DeathGripper.
"Yes I see it," Maegor said with a frown, but it didn't stop Aeny's grin, going to his dwarf brother and lifting him up.
"No you don't, you're too small, here see, See! Look how big it is" Aeny said with a smile, holding his dwarf brother on his shoulder to see the dragon he caught.
"Put me down you dumbass, I'm short not blind" Maegor growls trying to get his little brother to put him down, Maegor's dragon Nibble flies out of the brotherly bonding to the other dragon Goregutter, sitting on his head as he yawns.
"Come on little brother, see everything from my height, all dad's ships and dragons, he caught new dragons too, over there you see" Aeny points at a few other dragons near the ships for his older brother.
"I'm the oldest and I can see just fine, put me down asshole" Maegor hits his head, getting a smile from his brother.
"What's the matter, smaller brother, sad you didn't catch a dragon? It's ok you'll get it next time" Aenys teased him, putting him down as Maegor glared at him.
"I'll have you know taller brother, I caught myself a dragon too, and mine's not bleeding" Maegor points out, seeing the captured dragon is bleeding but Aeny's waved him off.
"Dragons are big and strong, one spike's not going to kill them" Aenys waved off, but Maegor shook his head.
"Father wants the dragon alive and well, this is why you can't be trusted with smart stuff" Maegor states, pointing at his head. Aenys frowns sadly at his older brother.
"Your being mean Maegor, are you still mad I'm taller than you? I can't control my height" Aenys said to him, while Maegor groaned.
"This isn't about my height you giant rocked head dumbass, you fail to understand simple concepts" Maegor getting frustrated with his brother,
Daemon watches his interaction with amusement, seeing the brothers together remind of himself and his brothers when they were younger.
"What's a c-oncept, like a stick? Did dad want a pointy stick?" Aenys asked, confused at Maegor.
"No Brother, no stick, just the dragon" Maegor states looking at his tall little brother.
"How's the weather up there?" Maegor insulted his younger brother, but it did nothing to stop his happy smile.
"It's wonderful Aenys, the sun is shiny with no clouds in the sky, is it colder down there?" Aenys asked, looking concerned at his smaller brother who only groaned at his response.
"Why do I bother, and for the record I did catch a dragon" Maegor groans at his little brother, getting the facts right.
"Really? Where?" Aenys asked, looking around, while Daemon chuckles in amusement at the two.
Aenys notices Daemon for the first time.
"Oh hello, are you new here? I'm Aenys Targayren, pleasure to meet you" Aenys introduced himself to Daemon, who smiled at how polite his nephew was.
"Please to meet you nephew, I'm Daemon Targaryen" Daemon shakes hands, and Aenys looks confused.
"Targaryen? Wait, how you are a Targaryen, only my family's name is Targaryen" Aenys asked, confused why his man has the same name as him.
"By the gods, that our uncle Aenys, dad's big brother, like me to you, dad was banished from the kingdoms" Maegor explains to him, Daemon smiled watching his nephew face slowly figure out what his brother said.
Daemon sees while Maegor is small but smart, Aenys seem to be normal but not too bright.
Aenys looks at Daemon with a huge grin, jumps to him and gives him a big hug.
"UNCLE DAEMON" Aenys cheered, hugging Daemon with all his might, to his surprise as Maegor smirked at them.
"Get used to it uncle prince, he loves giving hugs" Maegor smirks at Daemon predicament.
"I…can see that" Daemon grunts from the tight hug, not used to getting such affection from anyone like this, Aenys lets go and looks up to him.
"Oh by the gods, Uncle Daemon is amazing to see you, dad never talks about his brothers or mum and dad, are you really a prince? Are you going to be a king next? Do I call you Prince uncle or Uncle Prince Daemon? Oh where's your dragon? Have you met mine come, come here, meet Goregutter" Aenys questions the prince, who is too stunned to answer as he drags to the see the yawning yellow and blue dragon.
"Uncle Prince Daemon, meet Goregutter, isn't she a pretty girl" Aenys shows off his dragon, who just lay down, unbothered by the child running around.
"She loves sleeping all day, and makes poop, BIGGGG POOOP hahahah" Aenys cheered, scratching the back of the dragon head, getting little twitch from the resting dragon, Daemon looks perplexed then anything.
"I'm….wow nephew….Goregutter?" Daemon asked his smarter nephew who shrugs.
"Father named it, don't ask me why" Maegor states, seeing Daemon confused how his sweet brother gave a name like that.
"I wanted to name her princess Horny, or Queen yellow, cause she is so yellow" Aenys frowns sadly at his lack of choosing the name.
"Cause our father was going to catch it before you started to feed her" Maegor said, Daemon looked on.
"But Goregutter was exhausted, and was so scared; I couldn't kill her, she is so cute" Aenys gives his dragon a hug, the dragon rubbles back, showing her affection.
"Cute..isn't the word I use" Daemon said, tangled at anyone calling a dragon cute.
"Where's your dragon Prince Uncle Daemon?" Aenys asked him, Daemon shakes his head.
"Just call me Uncle Daemon, and Caraxes is tied up over there" Daemon points at his dragon currently captured on deck.
"Why's he tied up? Did he do something bad? Steal your food, pooped in your home?" Aenys asked why his dragon was captured, making Daemon smile before turning to Maegor, frowning in response.
"I captured it brother, using 'my' Net catcher, no blood whatsoever" Maegor grins at his capturing the blood wyrm, Aenys gasp.
"Oh no no, Maegor you broke the rule" Aenys points at him, annoying Maegor.
"What rule? Don't point at me" Maegor push Aeny's finger away.
"You caught a tame dragon, you caught uncle Daemon's dragon, dad said no dragon with riders, you're gonna get in trouble" Aenys states with a grin.
"Shut up, I showed my weapon captured dragons alive, better than yours leaving them bleeding" Maegor growls back, not stopping Aenys grin.
"Dad can't use tame dragons, you have to release Daemon's dragon" Aenys mocks with a grin but Maegor narrows his eyes, getting Daemon's attention.
"Doesn't mean your hook is better than my Net, which you just copied from me, Aenys" Maegor accused his younger brother.
"Nooooo mine has a hook on it, and can spin around to shoot" Aenys denies his older brother; Maegor slaps himself at his brother.
"Used?" Daemon asked, getting the two brothers' attention, looking at Aenys but Maegor stopped him.
"None of your fuckin business uncle, don't say anything Aenys or dad will be mad" Maegor said making his brother nod, leaning to his uncle.
"Yeah dad hates it when we tell his secrets, it's a secret" Aenys whispers to him, Daemon frowns but nods.
"Fair, can you release my dragon now Maegor, like your brother said" Daemon asked him, Aenys nods but Maegor stands his ground.
"Sorry I have to show father my weapon works, your dragon will be released after he sees it" Maegor promises but Aenys looks at him.
"Come on Maegor, its uncle Daemon's dragon, what's his name?" Aenys asked his uncle.
"Caraxes," Daemon said, smiling at his nephew's grin.
"What a name, Caraxes, like axes chop chop" Aenys said chopping his arm, Daemon chuckles at him.
"Yes, he nicknamed the Blood Wyrm, first ridden by Prince Aemon Targaryen, my uncle your grand uncle" Daemon brags about Caraxes, seeing the wonder in Aenys eyes.
"Really? Our grand uncle, prince too, like you, do you have a nickname?" Aenys asked, wanting to know more, Maegor signed while Daemon smirks.
"They call me the Prince of the city of King's landing, I'm commander of the gold clocks, the city watch of Kings landing the capital of Westeros" Daemon brags at his nephews, one looking at him in awe while the other looks annoyed.
"Prince of the city, are you going to be king as well, king of the city, your grace" Aenys spoke in respect, Daemon smiled wider at his younger nephew.
"Don't kiss his ass brother, he's not king yet" Maegor stopped his brother from giving Daemon any ideas.
Too late.
"If your uncle, the king doesn't have a male heir, I'm next in line for the iron throne" Daemon explains to Aenys, liking the look of respect he gets from his nephew.
"King? your grace, Uncle King Daemon?" Aenys thought out loud, getting a groan from Maegor and a grin from Daemon, he now has a favourite nephew.
"He's not a king yet until King Viserys dies, brother" Maegor explains to him, Aenys nods in understanding.
"Yet" Daemon points out, knowing he's still heir until his brother gets a son.
"Iron throne, does it have a hundred swords like mum told us about?" Aenys asked, asking about the iron throne, Daemon seeing a look for interest from Maegor as well.
Blood of the dragon indeed.
"oh yes, if you're not careful you could hurt yourself seating on it, Aegon the conqueror, intended for it to be uncomfortable, believing that "a king should never sit easy", you could kill yourself seating on it, like Maegor the cruel" Daemon looks at his dwarf nephew, making him smirk.
"Yes Maegor the first rather kill himself then suffer overwhelming defeat, show it took the whole seven kingdoms to kill the man" Maegor the second smirk at his name sake, it took all the seven kingdoms to drive Maegor the cruel to suicide.
"You're not cruel Maegor, mean at times but not cruel, you shouldn't kill yourself for making people mad" Aenys said to his brother, getting looks from both Daemon and Maegor.
"Aenys we're talking about King Maegor the cruel, the second king I'm named after, nothing to do with me" Maegor explains to his brother.
"Oh you're named after a king….am I named after someone?" Aenys asked,
"You're named after Aenys the first, who won the crown before Maegor, I believed" Maegor explains, giving Daemon a look to not tell Aenys about that king, Daemon holding his hands up.
Eret shows up between the Targaryens.
"As much as I love family reunions we're almost at Bravos" Eret points out, the Targaryens look to see the grand statue of Bravos straight ahead.
"Oh the statue, they fix it" Aenys points at it, getting a raised eyebrow from Daemon.
"A dragon nearly broke the stature, luckily father was there to kill it before anything was destroyed" Maegor explains, picking up his baby dragon Nibble while Aenys jumps on Goregutter.
"I'll be on Death Gripper, last one to Bravos is a rotten dragon egg" Aenys challenges, strapping himself to Goregutter.
"Sōvētēs!" Aenys shouted in Valyrian, flying towards the Deathgripper.
"Like hell you're getting there first, Eret we need more speed" Maegor shouted, getting a smirk from Eret.
"OH right, more sails you lazy cunts, you too Princess!" Eret shouted, looking at Daemon, he looked surprised.
"What?" Daemon states in confusion.
"Come on uncle, we need to beat my brother," Maegor said, grabbing some rope to pull out the sail.
"But ... .I don't sail" Daemon states, he knows how to fight, lead men and fly a dragon, but sailing.
"Just listen to me, grab this rope and pull" Maegor throws the rope to him, Daemon catches it and follows his nephew's orders.
Daemon looks over the titan statues of Bravos, what has his brother gotten into.
LINE
The Bewilder past the Titan of Braavos, Daemon watches the many ships of Dregon's fleet, seeing men and women with dragon bone and scale like armour and many weapons, dragon bone bows and dragon bone daggers.
Daemon looks as dragons wearing armour and straps' carrying supplies from one ship to another, seeing people with dragon bone masks and horns shouting at them to fly and carry supplies for them.
"That's not possible" Daemon said, watching the dragon growl at a few of Dregon sailors, until a masked man roar and shouted at it back, said dragon lower his head before flying off with the mask man on top of him.
"How did Dregon tame them?" Daemon asked, looking at his dwarf nephew Maegor, seeing only Targaryens can tame dragons, only those with the blood of the dragon can connect to them.
But Dregon couldn't have tame all these dragons, could he?
"Tame them? You understand so little Uncle; come on, my brother is already there!" Maegor shouted, seeing the DeathGripper in the middle of the bay, it hasn't been ported, being too big for Bravos but Daemon sees them loading another ship with Aenys captured dragon on it.
"Alright, take this dragon on the boat" Eret shouted, Daemon turned to see Caraxes moving as another boat went behind the Dreadnought, Daemon got mad which Eret noticed.
"Don't worry Princess we need the small boat to transport your beast, want to see Dregon, then follow us" Eret states, the sailor pulls a ramp down as both Eret and Maegor help push Caraxes on the small boat, Daemon sign as he joins them on the boat.
Eret and Maegor with the sailor push though the waves of Bravos bay, as Daemon watches it all in fascination, seeing Dregon's army and dragons fly around.
"Beautiful, isn't it?" Maegor said, Daemon nodding in agreement.
"Impressive, is all I can say '' Daemon is willing to say, not liking the dead dragons being used or how the dragons are listening to non-Targaryen, still admit what Dregon made was impressive.
"Here we are" Eret said in awe, Daemon looks to see another Dreadnought, his one bigger than the one before, large dragon bones being added to it with many panels and people building the monster of the thing.
Daemon looks to see them heading on one big ship on the side of the ship, ramps down ready for Caraxes to pick them up, Eret and Maegor help turn the dragon, as another blue dragon with a metal helmet comes down.
Daemon watches as Maegor gives the dragon a pat before hooking the chains around his body, another dragon mask wearing man leads the dragon up while pulling Caraxes cage.
This irritates Daemon.
"Are you using dragons as a beast of labour?!" Daemon cries out, dragons are used to burn down armies and being fortresses down to rumble, too see dragons be used like some horse is insulting to Daemon.
"Of course we do Princess, seeing how strong these bastards are, why wouldn't we?" Eret grins at him while holding Dark sister. Daemon wants nothing more than to take back his sword and cut off the smug smirk off his face.
"Come on uncle, father is up here" Maegor said, letting Nibble fly away as he helps lead the dragon up the ramp, Daemon grunts as he follows behind wishing he has his weapons on him. Daemon see's everyone giving him looks with their weapons pointing at him.
Daemon follows his nephew and Eret as they pass everyone building the new ship, Aenys runs back to them with a huge grin.
"Happy you're here, you rotten dragon egg" Aenys greets, going to Maegor eyes, Maegor pushes him away.
"Oh stuff it, you dumbass" Maegor pushes forward ignoring his brother, Aenys doesn't stop.
"Well dad loves my Hook shot, he is going to put it into his new boat" Aenys brags to him.
"Even if the dragon is bleeding?" Maegor asked, Aenys stopped smiling, turning to him.
"He wanted it less bloody, but he was proud of it, and that is all that matters" Aenys figures, Daemon looks at his energetic nephew.
"Did you tell your father about me?" Daemon asked him, Aeny shakes his head.
"And ruin the secret, no way, I can't wait to see the look on his face when he sees you" Aenys grins looking at them.
"Oh it will be a surprise, that much I know" Daemon said, a little nervous seeing his younger brother again after so long, Eret gave him a shove.
"Oh don't worry princess, Dregon would love to see you, maybe use you for dragon bait" Eret smirks at how uncomfortable the Rogue Prince is, annoying the prince, they walk forward.
Daemon looks up to see a well-built man with his intimidating face, wearing a scaly like cape, with his long silver hair and beard in thick braids. Multiple scars run over his face and body, evidence of his past encounters with dragons. His attire consists of a dark blue sleeveless shirt, a thick waist belt with a sun on the front and a huge black cape made from dragon skin. Attached to his belt he wears a loincloth, dark blue trousers, and dark blue boots covered in grey fur, as he watches the dreadnought being built.
"Father" Maegor greets, walking up to him, Daemon is shocked to see his brother.
Dregon Targaryen, the cripple prince, the exiled one, the Dragon slayer.
Daemon was surprised how tall he was, remembering Dregon was much smaller than before, less muscles, seeing how much bigger and more muscles he got then before.
"Son, your brother tells me you have a little secret for me" Dregon said in a heavy-voice, like he growling, not turning back to face his oldest son, Maegor walks up to his side.
"Yes father, a message from the king of the seven kingdoms, with a familiar messenger" Maegor states, getting Dregon's attention, he turns to his son before turning back to see his older brother. Daemon Targaryen.
"Daemon Targaryen" Dregon said, turning around to walk toward him, the dragon pulling Caraxe lowers his head backing away from Dregon.
"Brother, it's been a long time," Daemon greets, seeing his younger brother walk up to him, did he grow taller? Daemon had to look up a little.
"Ten years….you look good, the gods bless you with eternal beauty I see" Dregon said, looking over him, Daemon chuckles remembering Dregon jokes.
"They certainly blessed you" Daemon said, seeing how big his younger brother got in the last ten years, Dregon frowns.
"I believe the gods give as much as they take" Dregon states, throwing his dragon cape to show his prostatic, Daemon looks at his brother's lost hand, seeing a metal prostatic.
"Still have that arm I see" Daemon mentions, noticing it while Dregon covers it.
"The one things I kept from my banishment, why are you here?" Dregon asked, looking back at his son, who's holding a letter, Dregon grabs it to read.
"What's it say, dad?" Aenys asked, jumping to see the note.
"It says father is forgiven and the king wants him back in his court" Maegor explains to his brother, getting a nod.
"Dad's forgiven, yaaaa wait, what do you do dad?" Aenys asking his father, looking at him.
"Wanting to give my family all of this, but they rejected it and me" Dregon said looking at the army of dragon slaying warriors and dragon bone ship, closing the letter and giving it to Daemon.
"Why are you really here brother?" Dregon asked, looking Daemon in the eye.
"Viserys the king wants you back brothhaaa" Daemon stop mid-sentence with Dregon grabbing his throat, choking him. Scaring the people around him.
Daemon chokes trying to get out of his brother hold, but he so strong, Dregon bring him closer to his face, glaring at him.
"Do you remember the last words you said to me, brother" Dregon spit out the word brother.
"'That dragon should have gone for my throat'" Dregon growls at him, recalling the last words his older brother said to him when he was banished, those around Daemon gasp in shock, Daemon wished death for his younger brother.
"Why are you HERE?!" Dregon growls at his face, Daemon chokes enough for Dregon to let his brother go, Daemon gasp for air on his knees, looking up at his younger brother with anger.
"It's the fucken dragons ok! too many wild dragons burning the kingdoms'' Daemon grunts, pissed off at him, making Dregon chuckles.
"You need me to hunt dragons, the irony" Dregon chuckles with Eret and Maegor, Aenys help his uncle up.
"You alright uncle Daemon?" Aenys asked, Daemon grunts standing up.
"Why should I help you?" Dregon asked, not looking back at Daemon, he signs looking at him.
"Because your family needs you" Daemon calls out, getting the Dregon's attention.
"Visery is weak, being king makes him blind to the snakes around him, his obsession with a male heir is killing his wife, that cunt Otto keeps fucking around in the courts, blinding our brother to the cunts surrounding him" Daemon saying in frustration to his brother and nephews.
"And those fucken wild dragons are not helping anyone, but making us look weak" Daemon growls, turning to his brother.
"Your still running away from us brother, in the end you're still scared of the very thing that made us great" Daemon shouts at him, making Dregon glare at him.
"I just want my brothers back, is that too fuckin much to ask!" Daemon shouted, taking a deep breath as Dregon grunts, both stare at one another.
But a growl stops them.
They all turn to see Caraxes has awakened.
"HE WAKING UP!" One of Dregon man shouted, trying to tie him down as Caraxes lifts his long neck.
"I NEED BACKUP," said the man shouted, Maegor, Aenys, Daemon and Eret were about to help.
"Drop the ropes" Dregon orders, the men step back avoiding the dragon jaws, as Caraxes raised his head to Dregon growling at him.
"Brother Wait" Daemon tries to stop him but Eret, Aenys and Maegor stop him.
"You best stay away princess' ' Eret warns both Maegor and Aenys nod as they watch Dregon growling back, challenging Caraxes.
Caraxes snarls at him, lifting his head up.
"Caraxes Kelītīs (Halt)" Daemon tries to stop his dragon but it is too late, Caraxes blows fire at his brother, Daemon looks shocked as his brother is being consumed by the flames.
The flame continues until Caraxes stop, Daemon's eyes widen in shock, see Dregon with his cape coving him, Dregon grunts moving his cape, unburned and unharmed, reaching to grab his spear from one of his men.
Caraxes growls at Dregon.
ROAAAAARRRRRRRRR
"ARRAAGGAHHHHHHH" Dregon roars back, stopping Caraxes, spinning his spear around.
"RAGGHHHHHHH" Dregon roars louder, stunning Caraxes who leans away from him, Dregon slamming his spear down, making the dragon's flinch, Caraxes tries to moves but is still tied up.
Caraxes looks to see Dregon's eyes, no fear, no hesitations, only hatred.
Dregon growls with his teeth, Daemon looks shocked seeing Caraxes look afraid; Dregon keeps walking as Caraxes lowers his head with his eyes closed.
Dregon steps on Caraxes snort, Dregon grins looking at the blood wyrm.
"I'm not afraid of you anymore" Dregon states, scaring Caraxes as he turns back to his brother.
Daemon could do nothing but look on in shock and awe, and a little fearful. His father was called Baelon the Brave for hitting Balerion the Black Dread snout; of course Caraxes wasn't as big as the dread.
But what he sees is beyond what any Targaryen has done, Dregon isn't bonding with the dragons, he is dominating them. Dregon isn't brave like his father; no he was insane to step on a dragon snort.
Daemon looks frightened as he now understands what his dwarf nephew said about Dregon not bonding with any dragon, Dregon turns to him with a smirk.
"Come brother, join my family for dinner; we'll speak more of this later" Dregon states as Eret runs up to Dregon, both Maegor and Aenys turn to Daemon.
"That's how you tame a dragon uncle" Aenys spoke in awe as he followed behind his dad.
Daemon went to Caraxes, looking frightened from Dregon.
"Caraxes?" Daemon calls out, Caraxes looks to see Daemon, closing his head to him as Daemon rubs his head, Maegor watches him pet his dragon.
"I'll make sure he is fed and taken care of," Maegor said, watching his uncle with his dragon.
"Your…father, how did he?" Daemon asked, unsure what Dregon did but it scared Caraxes, and himself.
"Funny enough, he knows more about dragons than anyone else, if you have wild dragon problems, my father can stop it" Maegor said, helping his uncle as men went to place Caraxes with the others. Daemon was about to fight but Maegor stopped him.
"They'll take care of him, come on, meet the rest of the family" Maegor said, leading Daemon to another boat, as Deamon watches everyone happening.
Daemon might be in way over his head.
