“They frighten me as well. There is no shame in that. My children have grown wild and angry in the dark.”
“You … you mean to ride them?”
“One of them. All I know of dragons is what my brother told me when I was a girl, and some I
read in books, but it is said that even Aegon the Conqueror never dared mount Vhagar or Meraxes, nor did his sisters ride Balerion the Black Dread. Dragons live longer than men, some for hundreds of years, so Balerion had other riders after Aegon died … but no rider ever flew two dragons.”
