"Great-grandfather, among your children, only Prince Viserys was called the Dragonless. Does that mean all the other princes and princesses hatched dragons?" Daenerys couldn't help but ask King Jaehaerys.
King Jaehaerys pondered for a moment before speaking, "Daenerys's dragon also died weakly not long after she passed away."
"Senira's dragon escaped Dragonmont and became a wild dragon. That was the Sheepstealer you caught and locked back into Dragonmont not long ago."
"The Dragon Eggs of the other princes and princesses died prematurely before they could even hatch."
"The remaining four dragons were locked deep within the Dragonpit by me a long time ago. I had originally thought that some family member might tame them in the future and take them flying into the sky."
"Who would have thought that my House Targaryen now has so few people left."
So that was it!
That's quite a waste, though. Four dragons just locked deep in the Dragonpit. It would have been better to let them become wild dragons.
Dreamfire was very fast, and they arrived at the Dragonpit in no time. However, upon seeing the bronze gate of the Dragonpit, Dreamfire's mood immediately became agitated.
It seemed that Dreamfire, having tasted freedom again, did not want to be confined to the Dragonpit once more.
"Dreamfire, just wait outside. I won't lock you in the Dragonpit again!"
"I know the vast sky is your true home!"
Daenerys quickly soothed Dreamfire in valyrian, though her words were more for her Great-grandfather, King Jaehaerys, to hear.
Because Daenerys, Dreamfire, and Miraxis had long been able to communicate telepathically.
After dismounting from Dreamfire's back, King Jaehaerys hurried deep into the Dragonpit, led by the Dragon Guard.
Daenerys had always thought she was quite familiar with the Dragonpit, after all, she had tamed Dreamfire there. And she had spent a lot of time wandering around the Dragonpit before that.
But she never expected there to be hidden doors and secret passages within the Dragonpit. This time, Daenerys followed King Jaehaerys through an inconspicuous bronze hidden door and arrived in a huge space that, though dim, wasn't very enclosed.
This was a place she had never discovered before. No wonder the four dragons were hidden so well; they had never been discovered by anyone else.
"Hiss-ga~"
As soon as she entered the cave, Daenerys heard a weak cry from a dragon.
This sound immediately made all the hairs on Daenerys's body stand on end, and her heart was instantly filled with boundless sorrow, despair, and rage.
Led by the Dragon Guard, it wasn't long before everyone arrived before a weak brown dragon.
The brown dragon lay weakly on the ground, its scales having lost their former luster, with several patches missing in many places, revealing rough, scarred skin underneath. Its deep green Dragon Wings, once full of vitality, now appeared lifeless.
Its eyes were half-closed, its gaze filled with exhaustion and pain, and its breathing was weak and heavy, each rise and fall seeming to take all its strength.
Daenerys couldn't help but take a few steps closer. The dragon, sensing someone approaching, slightly raised its head and let out a low growl from its throat, like a warning or a helpless struggle.
The Dragon Guard rushed forward to stop Daenerys from getting closer, worried that the dragon might suddenly lash out and injure someone. Daenerys gently pushed the Dragon Guard aside and slowly approached the dragon,
"Daenerys!"
King Jaehaerys, seeing Daenerys about to approach the dragon, immediately spoke up to warn her,
"Be careful, they've been locked in here for a long time, so their temperaments are quite volatile!"
Daenerys turned her head and said confidently,
"Don't worry, Great-grandfather, it'll be fine!"
Daenerys chanted an Ancient Valyrian spell while slowly approaching the dragon.
Upon hearing Daenerys's chanting, Amoros's almost extinguished life flame began to pulse fiercely.
So he couldn't help but open his dark green pupils, curiously observing the little girl who was approaching him. Soon, Daenerys's reflection was mirrored in his pupils.
Daenerys carefully placed her hands on Amoros's dragon snout and continued chanting.
As Daenerys chanted, the magic she transmitted finally resonated and merged with the magic within Amoros.
During Daenerys's chanting, the sparse magic in the surroundings continuously gathered towards this spot, while the energy within the purple diamonds on her bracelet and necklace slowly flowed into Amoros's body through Daenerys's hands.
This allowed Amoros, who had been extremely weak, to slowly recover some of his strength. The life flame that was about to extinguish, after several pulses, finally grew stronger again.
Daenerys stopped chanting only when she felt a wave of exhaustion wash over her. By then, Amoros's condition had clearly improved significantly.
Seeing this, everyone was overjoyed. After all, an adult dragon was simply too important to the Tankrian Family.
"Great-grandfather, dragons should not be locked in the Dragonpit; it only makes them weak."
How could Jaehaerys not know what Daenerys was saying?
"Daenerys, dragons without Dragon Knights to control them are simply too dangerous. And over the years, there have been quite a few bastards of the Targaryen Family living outside."
"If any of these dragons were successfully ridden by someone, it would pose a huge threat to the rule of the Targaryen Family."
Amoros
Amoros, now revitalized, appeared very docile in front of Daenerys. He even carefully rubbed his large head against Daenerys a few times, seemingly expressing his gratitude.
A somewhat tired Daenerys immediately leaned against his large head, affectionately stroking Amoros's cheek.
And Amoros actually narrowed his eyes, appearing to be enjoying it very much.
This dragon resembled Silver Wing in appearance, with fine brown scales covered in silver patterns, and green Dragon Wingss that made him look incredibly beautiful.
"Great-grandfather, look! Amoros seems very close to me!"
"Let me take him back to Holy Flame Island. I can take care of him like I care for Xiao Bellerion and the others. This will not only keep the dragons vibrant, but also prevent others from approaching them without permission."
King Jaehaerys actually didn't want anyone to take the dragons away. Because he now placed all his longing for his deceased daughters on these dragons.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have stubbornly locked the dragons deep within the Dragonpit. Later, he even died there silently, never to appear again in the records of the Targaryen Family.
However, Amoros's near-death experience today finally caused a flicker of doubt in his heart.
So King Jaehaerys did not respond to Daenerys immediately, but was engaged in a fierce internal struggle.
Daenerys saw that Jaehaerys, even in this situation, was still not prepared to let go of these dragons this time.
She could only begin chanting the Ancient Valyrian spell again. Once her magic and Amoros's resonated again, Daenerys directly issued a command to Amoros.
"Dragonflame! Amoros!"
