♔FIRST

[emblazing]

[ at first there's nothing. there's scuttling sounds, the hissing of something like a snake and a woman's quiet murmurs before sight comes to you. you might be riveted first by the sight of a dragon the size of a small dog sitting in a young lady's lap, the color of cream. she is dressed regally. her features are uncommon, bright violet eyes and waves of silver hair falling around her shoulders; bright as stars. 

those shoulders are not bare in just clothing alone. on each shoulder is another dragon, one green, the other a bit larger, black with red streaks in it's scales. she seems calm enough, if not for the fact that her eyes are simmering with fury, her mouth in a taut, tense line. her voice is slightly raised, lined with anger.]

I know of magic. I know that is what brings me here though I know not the reason why. You will not keep me here. My city waits for me, and beyond it all that was stolen from me. I cannot reclaim what is rightfully mine in your spell, whoever has placed it upon me.

[ the black dragon hisses, flapping it's red wings. ]

If there are others trapped in this place, tell me what you know. In return I will reward you by freeing you along with me once I find answers and passage out. There must be a way out.

As for those who have placed this magic--
[ her voice hardens, sharp and raised. ]
You will recieve no such names from me--my enemies are many and I will not waste words on those who have placed me here. I do not fear you--rather, you should fear me. For once you have woken an avenging dragon it does not sleep until it has punished those who have wronged it.

[emblazing]

They cast dark magic indeed.
And you, ser? Have you found yourself lost as well?

[bondsoflove]

Kidnapped.

[emblazing]

So you are no illusion. I can think of many reasons why I should be taken from my city but if there are others like me here, perhaps there is more to it.

[bondsoflove]

There are dozens. You can tell who we are because we're not a tittering hive-mind.

[emblazing]

Hive-mind?
You speak strange words. From where are you from?

[bondsoflove]

Like ants. Sharing a thought process and ignoring everything else to follow the crowd.

[Eyebrow. Do they not have bugs where she comes from?]

Fire country. You?

[emblazing]

Then they will be disappointed. I am not one to follow.
[ she blinks in response. ]
I have never heard of that place.
[ her expression clouds a little at that. for now she has no home. her real home is in westeros, where usurpers sit on her throne and dragon skulls are said to be placed as a testament to the fall of the targaryens. that there are no longer dragons. her voice is measured. ]
My rightful place is in Westeros.

[bondsoflove]

That's what I'm saying. You can tell who's been pulled here because we don't follow the crowd.

[Of course she hasn't. No one here has. Not that he can say any better.]

And I've never heard of Westeros.

[emblazing]

Then there are allies to be found here.
[ a pause ]
You have not heard of the Seven Kingdoms?

[bondsoflove]

To a point.

[Seven? No.]

Five major countries, along with several hundred minor ones.

[emblazing]

Of course not all are trustworthy. Perhaps some are too drawn into the magic to wish for any escape.
[ no that doesn't sound familiar ]
Can I assume we are from different worlds then?

[bondsoflove]

Some of them are idiots. [Grumbling.]

The majority of us seem to be from different worlds.

[emblazing]

There are fools in all manner of places. Some with good intent. What I need is my people, not fools.

..Then this is a darker magic than the ones I've already seen.
[ drogon presses his face to her cheek, her hand going to stroke his chin with one index finger ]

[bondsoflove]

You can say that again. [Ch.]

A transport isn't all that odd.

[emblazing]

I am not unfamiliar with magic--though it has dealt nothing but evil to me.
[ her voice is a touch bitter ]

[bondsoflove]

It depends on how you use it.

[He's operating under a working definition of 'magic' as 'ninjutsu and genjutsu, sort of'.]

[emblazing]

Yes and many use it unwisely, cruelly. Though I have learned. Yes, I have learned from it.
[ her voice is wry ]
I have a magic of my own.

[bondsoflove]

No shit.

[Unimpressed.]

As do I.

[emblazing]

[ simply raises her brow at his language but continues staring. ]

Who are you, ser?

[bondsoflove]

An avenging dragon.

[emblazing]

[ a laugh ]
No, you are no Targaryen. You are not the blood of the dragon. There is only one dragon left alive, and you look upon her.

[bondsoflove]

Did I say I was a Targaryen?

[She certainly doesn't look like the dragons he's used to.] You're awfully humanoid for a dragon.

[emblazing]

I woke these dragons, these that had been turned to stone for centuries. The sigil of House Targaryen is the three-headed dragon, the House which holds the rightful claim to the Seven Kingdoms.

We are not always as we appear.

[bondsoflove]

People often aren't.

[Observing the little ones. They're fatter than the ones in Konoha's myths, and rougher.]

You aren't river gods. [A question.]

[emblazing]

They are no gods. [ fondly. rhaegal hisses a little. ]
Small they are now, but they will grow. My enemies will know me well then.
