♔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]

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.

[bondsoflove]

[He smiles, darkly. The same could be said about him.]

Power comes with discipline and sacrifice.

[emblazing]

There is always a price.

[bondsoflove]

You talk sense.

[emblazing]

I speak from the costs of what I paid for.
[ my sun and stars. my son. so many things. far more than she should have at such an age. ]

[bondsoflove]

[She understands. He knows that look.]

Losing everything does open your eyes.

[emblazing]

What was it that you lost?
[ everything can be selective depending on the person ]

[bondsoflove]

My family.

[His eyes focus on something unseen, outside reality.]

All of them. Hundreds of people, in one night.

[emblazing]

So you are also the last of your family.
[ that..is very strange to hear. it's almost comforting, but that's not the kindest thought. dany goes quiet. ]

[bondsoflove]

You, too.

[This one isn't a question.]

And no one understands what it's like. To carry that burden.

[emblazing]

No. They do not.
I can only take back what the Usurper stole from me that is left.

[bondsoflove]

Vengeance.

[emblazing]

And the Iron Throne.

[bondsoflove]

I'd rather see the city burning.

[emblazing]

What city?
