Reignition of The Dragon

Chapter 5: The Children of Fire



The night air was thick with the scent of smoke, the distant howls of wolves carried on the wind. The moon hung low in the sky, casting a pale, silvery light over the camp. Daenerys sat before the flickering fire, her heart racing with anticipation.

In her hands, she held the dragon egg—the one that had hatched in her presence. The warmth of it lingered on her skin, a tangible connection to the creature that now thrived within the flame.

Her dragon.

A soft sound reached her ears, a crackling noise like embers shifting in the fire. She turned, her eyes narrowing as she searched the shadows of her tent. For a moment, there was nothing but the silence of the night.

Then, she saw it.

A glimmer in the darkness—red and black, the gleam of scales. The dragon, small but fierce, emerged from the shadows, its wings twitching as it moved.

It was beautiful.

Its scales were a deep, obsidian black, with streaks of vibrant red running across its back like blood burning through coal. Its eyes glowed a fierce, unrelenting crimson, a fire that matched her own.

Daenerys felt her breath catch in her throat as she knelt before it, extending a hand slowly. The dragon did not recoil. It stepped closer, its tiny body trembling with the heat of its own flame.

"Vezhven," she whispered, the Dothraki word for "fire." She had learned their tongue well in these past months, and it felt right now to call the dragon by name.

The creature tilted its head, a low rumble of recognition vibrating in its chest. Slowly, it leaned into her hand, a delicate purr escaping its throat.

Her dragon.

The Rise of the Dragons

Over the next several days, the bond between Daenerys and her dragon deepened. She spent hours with it—feeding it, learning to control its flame, understanding its instincts. The creature was wild, untamed, but there was a spark of intelligence in its eyes, a flicker of something ancient.

And it was not alone.

The other two eggs had begun to stir as well.

The second egg was a deep gold and white, its surface gleaming like the sun at dawn. When it cracked open, the dragon that emerged was no less awe-inspiring. Its scales were a brilliant gold, shimmering with the light of the stars, and its wings were tipped with white that seemed to glow in the dark.

This one was more curious, more playful. It would flutter around Daenerys, its small wings beating the air in excitement. Its eyes, however, were sharp—intense, a molten gold that could pierce through any foe.

The third egg, the one that had remained untouched for days, began to crack open on the fourth night. Daenerys felt the ground tremble beneath her feet, and a hot, almost suffocating air filled the tent. She could feel the pulse of fire radiating from the egg before it even hatched.

When it did, Daenerys was almost struck by the force of its energy. The dragon that emerged was unlike any she had ever seen. Its scales were the color of molten lava—deep orange and red, with veins of black running through its body. It was massive for its age, its wings crackling with the heat of an inferno.

Its eyes were the color of fire itself, a swirling mix of red, orange, and yellow, like a flame caught in the heart of a storm.

This dragon was powerful. It exuded an aura of sheer strength, and its very presence seemed to shake the air around it.

Daenerys could feel it—this dragon was different. This was the one she would ride.

The Bond of the Targaryen

Days passed, and Daenerys' dragons grew. They were fierce, unpredictable, but loyal to her. They followed her everywhere, their eyes watching her with the same intensity they had when they were born. The bond she had with them was unspoken but undeniable.

She named them in turn.

The black and red dragon, small but fierce, was called Rhaegon, after her fallen brother, the one who would have been king. The gold and white dragon, playful and curious, was named Vhagar, after the legendary dragon of old.

And the lava-colored dragon—powerful, wild, and untamed—was named Drogon, after the last great dragon of the Targaryens.

Each of them was a piece of her destiny, a symbol of her power and her heritage. And as they grew, so did her understanding of her place in the world.

The First Flight

It was time.

Daenerys stood before Drogon, the largest of her dragons, his molten scales gleaming in the light of the rising sun. She had been preparing for this moment for weeks, learning the patterns of the wind, how to control the beast, how to command the fire.

The Dothraki had gathered, their eyes wide with awe and curiosity. They had never seen a Targaryen dragon before, and many of them had doubted that they even existed. Now, they would see.

With a deep breath, Daenerys mounted Drogon, feeling the heat of his body beneath her. He stood still, his massive wings twitching with anticipation.

She grasped the reins tightly, her heart pounding in her chest.

"Vezhven," she whispered, her voice low but commanding. "Fly."

The dragon let out a low growl, and with a single mighty beat of his wings, they were airborne.

The wind rushed past her, the air crisp and cold against her skin. Below her, the camp grew smaller and smaller, the Dothraki cheering and shouting in amazement.

Drogon soared higher, climbing toward the clouds. Daenerys leaned forward, her fingers tightening in the reins as the world spun around her. She felt the power of the dragon beneath her, the heat of his body, the wild energy that surged through him.

And she felt the fire inside her, the dragon blood that coursed through her veins.

They were one.

She was the dragon.

And the world would burn in their wake.
