บท 1: dragonslayer

"Lykiri!" Aerys commanded in a soft tone, and Urrax responded. The silver-white dragon moved his head anxiously but no longer screeched at the Dragonkeepers.

Aerys took another step forward, hands stretched towards Urrax, and the dragon's eyes locked onto his own.

"Lykiri!"

When Aerys was old enough to remember the memories of his past life and recognize what world, family, and time period he had been born into, he regretted the fact that the egg placed in his cradle had hatched.

A larger dragon would have been much more useful, or so he had thought.

Perhaps that was still true. But after he had grown together with Urrax, he could no longer stomach the thought of replacing him. Urrax was his, as he was Urrax's. The idea of slipping into someone's sloppy second dragonbond felt somewhat impure to him now.

As he tried to take another step forward, a wooden staff blocked his way. The interruption brought him out of the tunnel vision he was wont to get into when it concerned his dragon.

"That's close enough, Prince Aerys," the Dragonkeeper warned in Valyrian, earning a glare from Aerys. But he did step back. The Dragonkeepers answered only to the king, and they decided what went on in the Dragonpit.

"Bring out the goat!" Aerys commanded, and the Dragonkeepers obeyed, though mostly because they were going to do it anyway.

He was not allowed closer, so he made do with watching Urrax eat the cattle after he commanded "Dracarys."

Once his turn was over and Urrax was returned to the Dragonpit, Jace and Luke got their turns in being familiarized with their dragons.

Aerys was older than his nephew Jace by a year, and Luke by three. His brother Aemond was a year older than him.

The singers called this the return to the golden days of King Jaehaerys' rule, with Targaryens in a number not seen since Queen Alysanne's children roamed the Red Keep.

Perhaps, too numerous.

Aerys spent a minute watching the closed doors to the Dragonpit, wishing for the day he could just fly away on Urrax whenever he wanted.

When he joined his brothers and nephews, he found a curious situation that he felt he should have expected. Aegon was old enough to not need these lessons and Aemond was dragonless. Yet they were both here, likely at Aegon's urging. He should have suspected something was in the works.

Aerys watched as his nephew brought out a decorated pig, and he felt a headache coming.

That was not a good sign. In this new life, whenever he got angry, he started getting headaches. And then he'd do something to relieve that anger that he would regret after the fact.

Aerys took out his dagger and walked towards the other boys. He knew it was just a stupid prank. Back in his old life, most wouldn't even call it bullying. Yet, it angered him so much.

Perhaps it was Aegon, playing around with kids much younger than him when he could actually be doing something. Perhaps it was Aemond and his self-pity when he was born into a life of such privilege. Or maybe it was the Velaryon boys putting so much effort into procuring a pig and having it decorated.

Aerys reached the pig by the time the kids started to laugh and stabbed the beast in the neck, then quickly stepped back to create distance. The Kingsguard guarding them shouted in alarm and moved in front of the princes. The pig was no danger, however. Being cattle raised for slaughter, it merely squealed in panic and tried to run away instead of fighting back.

Aerys followed behind as the Kingsguard called him to step back, but Aerys had had enough of being told what to do for the day. So while the knight was stuck guarding the other princes, Aerys ran up to the pig, which had slowed down from blood loss, and used the fake wings on it to climb up its back and stabbed it again and again.

By the time a knight caught up to him, his hands and shoulders were covered in blood, and the pig was dead. The Dragonkeepers were the only people around, and they looked at him gravely.

When Aerys returned to the other princes, he showed them the bloodied dagger and proclaimed, "Look, brothers and nephews! I am now a dragonslayer!" and laughed.
