Game Of Thrones: The God-Emperor of Planetos

Chapter 31: Chapter 31 - Return to Winterfell (II)



"Happiness is a simple word, but many seek it as a goal in life, but as a man grows older, happiness often comes from family." Aenar Targaryen.

"You greedy little dragon." Jon watched the small silver and purple dragon with a helpless look.

Dragons liked sheep meat, but where could he get a sheep where he was? Jon would have to hunt to feed this greedy little dragon that loved food more than anything. But when the little creature ate three rabbits and looked at him with innocent golden eyes, the True Prince of Westeros sighed helplessly.

Picking up his bow and dagger, Jon ventured out once more in search of food, thinking of giving the little dragon to Caraxes to take care of. Responsibility? All males in the wild left their young with their mothers, he was doing what nature demanded.

As for what Caraxes would think after hearing his thoughts, Jon didn't care, he would be far away not to talk to an adult dragon full of rage.

An hour later, Jon watched as the small dragon tossed the fourth rabbit into the air with its mouth, releasing a small stream of silver flames with purple lines while the prey was still in the air.

When the prey was completely charred, the little dragon let it fall and ate it with an expression of joy and cruelty. After devouring the fourth rabbit, the little dragon looked at Jon with its golden draconic eyes.

"If you dare to ask for more, I'll try dragon soup today." Seeing the little dragon looking at him, Jon showed a calm expression and spoke in a threatening tone.

The little dragon looked pitiful and approached Jon, sitting on his lap and resting its head on his leg.

Knowing what the dragon wanted, Jon sighed and began to stroke the soft scales, especially under the mouth and behind the head. The little dragon had the most beautiful scales he had ever seen, and when the light from the flames fell on them, they glowed beautifully.

"Your rider will certainly have a hard time with you, greedy cub." Jon commented with a smile on his lips as he watched the dragon cub enjoy his caresses. As if to answer Jon, the young dragon let out a guttural sound and relaxed even more.

Jon leaned back against the tree, the two swords, Lady Lya and Dark Sister, at his right and left sides. Then he closed his eyes.

When he opened them again, Jon found himself in front of a sea of blue roses, the same place he liked to spend his dreams, but the figure of the young woman in front of him made him let out a tired sigh.

He did not like Rhaenys entering his dream, but not for selfish reasons or simply because he did not want her company.

It was because his mind was dangerous to anyone, the weight of seeing the future weighing heavily on his mind. If it hadn't been for the maturation of his powers and his mental stamina, he would have gone mad or just plain crazy, like a certain Oraculo from Camp Half-Blood.

But with Rhaenys in his dream, Jon had to protect her while withstanding twice as much pressure as normal. That's why he liked talking to Brynden; the man didn't need his protection and could withstand the influence of his mind on his own.

Looking at Rhaenys, Jon noticed that she was taller than the last time, at thirteen the girl was almost 164 cm (5.4) tall, her body beginning to blossom as a girl of her age should. Her childish features were set aside to accentuate her naturally elegant and sharp features.

But if there was one thing that hadn't changed, it was her gaze, looking at him as someone to be protected.

"My little Valonqar." Rhaenys said, embracing Jon in a strong, warm embrace.

(Note: Valonqar = younger brother.)

"Please stop invading my dreams, you impertinent dragon." Jon commented as he gently stroked her hair, which was easy for him since he was taller than her.

"Proposal denied!" Rhaenys replied in an arrogant, smug tone.

Letting out a helpless sigh, Jon turned away and spoke in a casual tone. "Too bad, I had a surprise for you, but it looks like I'll be keeping it."

Rhaenys' eyes lit up at Jon's words and she circled him like a wolf, as if trying to guess what his surprise was. Finally, seeing no hint on his body, she tired of waiting and asked with an urgent touch. "What is Valonqar?"

It was Jon's first gift to her, how could she not be excited and happy?

"Before that, let me tell you what happened on that trip to the Wall." Jon didn't rush to introduce the dragon cub to Rhaenys, focusing on Aemon's existence.

After hearing what had happened at the Wall, Rhaenys' eyes widened in shock, especially knowing that there were two other Targaryens still alive in Westeros.

"Aemon Targaryen, son of Maekar I and Brynden River, son of Aegon IV." Rhaenys whispered, still shocked to see two people so old, especially Brynden who was almost 120 years old!

At the same time, knowing that Brynden was a Green Seer who could see the future and had the Children of the Forest as his guardians made her imagine that she was in an ancient and epic story from the Age of Heroes.

"I didn't expect there to be so many Targaryens still alive in the world." Rhaenys sighed and smiled happily. In her eyes, there was nothing happier than a large family.

However, upon learning that her younger brother was in possession of the Dark Sister, Rhaenys' breath quickened, her eyes practically glowing with an excitement that made Jon roll his eyes at her naked desire for the legendary Valyrian steel sword of House Targaryen.

"I already have my meteorite steel sword, and the Dark Sister will be yours when we meet in person-" Just as Jon finished his sentence, Rhaenys had leapt at him, throwing him into the sea of blue roses and kissing him on the cheek with a joy that was simply infectious.

"I love you, Valonqar!!!" Rhaenys spoke as she kissed Jon's face endlessly with an extremely bright look on her face, like a child who has just earned a new toy.

"Sophist, you only said that because you won a legendary sword." Despite saying this, Jon's lips curved into a gentle smile. "Besides, the surprise I prepared for you isn't Dark Sister."

The kissing stopped abruptly when Rhaenys heard Jon's words and she looked at him in confusion. Was there anything more shocking in her eyes than one of the three most legendary swords in Westeros?

Suddenly, Rhaenys heard the winter flowers rustle behind her, while a sound reminiscent of a roar, but childish and more cute than threatening, sounded extremely proud.

Leaving Jon's body, she turned around and what she saw simply made her open her mouth in utter shock.

A winged reptilian cub was staring at her with a proud and noble look in its golden eyes.

Rhaenys wiped her eyes as if she was imagining things.

Pointing a shaky finger at the dragon cub, Rhaenys tried to sound coherent, but her mind was in such shock that it was practically impossible.

"D-Ddragon!!!"

"Stop yelling!" Jon said with an annoyed sound as he covered his ears with his hands.

"Why are you so calm, it's a dragon cub!!! Every Targaryen's dream!!!" Rhaenys shook her brother back and forth as she yelled at him for being so casual about something so incredible.

"Obviously because I've had this dragon cub for over a month." Escaping Rhaenys' claws, Jon casually replied, turning away from his older sister.

Looking at Jon angrily, as if she blamed him for not introducing her to the dragon cub sooner, Rhaenys turned her attention back to the dragon cub and couldn't help but think what a beautiful creature it was.

Suddenly, before Rhaenys' shocked eyes, the silver dragon cub flew into the air and landed gracefully on her shoulder, she could feel the dragon's tail curling around her neck as a warmth was transmitted by the touch. The warmth was like standing next to a fire to warm yourself.

Looking away, Rhaenys could see the dragon's golden eyes up close, and for some reason, she felt something being established between her and the dragon cub. A strangely comfortable connection, as if she had two minds, one connected to the other.

Watching the scene, Jon's lips curved into a smile. House Targaryen had its second Dragon Rider!

Together with the dragon eggs he had asked Kinvara to buy from Illyrio Mopatis earlier, House Targaryen would soon have three more dragon riders, making a total of five!

"Congratulations, she's accepted you as her knight." Jon commented, feigning a bitter tone as if Rhaenys had just claimed the dragon he wanted.

Rhaenys' face went from confusion to pure ecstasy and then to pure sadness. The change in expression was so quick that it stunned Jon.

Women were truly born to act.

Rhaenys felt a deep sense of shame; her brother would be king, the dragon should have been his, not hers. Her brother only wanted to show her the dragon and she stole it from him. How could she not be ashamed.

"Aenar..." Before she could finish, she saw the teasing look in her brother's eyes and knew immediately that she had been fooled by his act!

He was not sad at all that she had stolen his dragon cub!

"HAHAHAHAH!!!" Jon couldn't help himself and started to laugh. Don't blame him, Rhaenys' expression was really funny in his eyes.

Looking at him fiercely, Rhaenys sat down next to him and spoke in a soft tone. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to take the dragon cub."

Wiping the tears from his eyes from laughing so hard, Jon replied nonchalantly. "I have a dragon bigger than any ship in the world, we were born at the same time and we're brothers, his name is Caraxes. I don't need such a young dragon."

Jon's words made Rhaenys open her mouth again in shock. She felt like this day was getting crazier and crazier.

"Why didn't you tell me this before?" She asked with a slightly annoyed expression. If she had known that her brother had a dragon, she wouldn't have worried so much about him before.

"Because I wanted to see your reaction and I have to admit that it was worth waiting four years." Jon replied with a satisfied smile after everything that had just happened.

Punching Jon hard in the arm, Rhaenys snorted coldly and spoke. "I'll pay you back for this one day."

Jon shrugged and spoke with a smile, pointing to the dragon cub. "Have you chosen a name?"

Rhaenys looked at the cub on her lap for a moment and spoke softly.

"Moonfyre."
