Chapter 5: Dragon Ride
It took us a while to get out of the castle. Sliverwing was already waiting for us. Seems like my grandmother already called her through the bond. We approached the dragon as my grandmother put het palm on the dragon's snout and brushed through the scales of the muzzle.
"Come little Aerion. Let me introduce to silverwing." I went forward towards my grand mother and the dragon, while the kings guard and my maid who is now sweating buckets for me worries stayed some distance away.
My grandmother lifted me in her arms, took my little hand and placed on the dragons snout. The dragon then shifted his focus on me. Those big jewel like eyes were looking at me keenly. Seemingly to determine my relation to grandmother.
#Silverwing, this is my grandson. My blood. Lets take him on a ride and show him what it means to be able to ride on a dragon.# my grand mother spoke in valyrian which I understood nothing. I haven't started my studies yet. So, I can't be blamed.
The Dragon just released hot air through the snout which ruffled my hair back. Silverwing is a silvery dragon with glistening scales. She is a very beautiful dragon. She is relatively docile and friendly to strangers.
"Aerion, This is silver wing. She was born in my cradle by the egg that was placed by my dear sister Rhaena. I was 12 years old when I was accepted as her rider and took my first flight to King's Landing with her after my uncle's death. We had may flights since then. Our bond grew stronger by years. I can tell you that my bond with silverwing is the strongest among all the other riders and their dragons. "
"Even the King's?" I asked.
"Even your grandsire doesn't have a bond as strong as mine. Let me tell you a secret, Silverwing and Vermithor often coiled with each other. Now lets not waste any daylight further." She said as she took me on the dragon back and secured the harness around me to prevent any accidents.
#Fly, Sliverwing. Be Gentle.# She said in Valyrion, which I assume that she is asking the dragon to fly.
The take off was bumpy, but when we reached some height in the sky every thing was pleasant. The cold air that is brushing on my cheeks, the fluffy clouds that are only at arms length. This is something magical. Yes, I have rode planes in my past life but nothing beats to what I am experiencing today.
We flew over the sea and then the land. The ride went on for two hours. We returned back to dragonstone and landed.
"How did you like your first ride? I saw that you were silent all along." My grandmother enquired while placing her hand on my cheeks. Maybe she is worried that I was like my mother and Aemma, who is afraid of dragons.
"It was fantastic grandmother. I will ride the whole westeros on dragonback when I grow up." I said excitedly, which I am not faking by the way. This did seem alliveate her worries.
She smiled and said "Rest for now. You have to travel back to Eyrie in the morrow with your father and sisters."
I nodded and went to my maid who was still standing there with the Kingsgaurd. I was escorted back to my chambers by my maid and Ser Lorence Roxton.
--89 AC,5th month, Eyrie, Vale—
It has been two years since my first dragon ride. I went on few more rides when grandmother visited us once a year for the past couple of years.
I have started my studies when I turned 3. Reading, counting and writing came naturally to me due to my mature mind. Since then I started reading more books in the library. I also started to learn Valyrian language. It was an odd mix of European languages from my past life. It was hard initially to grasp the correct accent. But now it is much easier. I am still working on my vocabulary to be more fluent.
I took interest in history, construction and medicine. There were lot of books on history and construction but very little on the human anatomy and medicine. However, they would suffice for now.
My stats are growing normally like an average human. My body stats are at 4 while my magicule is still at 2. Not much progress to be honest. But this is change in a year. My body stats growth will start once I am 5 years old. One more year till my first step to the path of invincibility.
I kept spamming the observe skill and map. I have now visited many places and the map is updated. I can see some names and thier location who has hostility towards me and my family. I took note of them and swear to handle them when the time arises.
On a joyous note,
My sister Amanda got married on 2nd month this year to Borys Baratheon, second son of Boremund Baratheon, lord of the Stroms end and and the head of House Baratheon. The eldest son was also recently married to Lady Elanda caron.
The marriage was proposed by the king and was accepted by both lords paramount of Vale and stormlands, My father, Rodrik Arryn and Boremund Baratheon respectively. This was to bring the houses together.
Unlike his brother Borros baratheon, heir to the storm's end, Borys Baratheon is a learned man and helps his father in ruling the lands.
"The lad got good head. I am not worried about my daughter, now that she is in good hands." Those were the words of my father to Boremund baratheon during the marriage. To which the Lord of the strom's end laughed boisterously with pride evident in his eyes.
My sister also come to like him, as he doesn't sound uptight. He makes my sister laugh and be at ease. It seems like my sister is truly in good hands.
Alas, all is well that ends well.
