Dragonpit

It was customary that the children of Targaryen blood would learn to train their dragons so all the sons were supposed to be in the Dragonpit.

Jacaerys' dragon, Vermax, came out as a demonstration on how to make your dragons obey your command.

"Vermax!" The dragonkeeper said, and Vermax growled.

"Let him come." The elder dragonkeeper said, and the other dragonkeepers let the chains around him loose.

Rhaegar was yawning and already bored of this. He had already successfully bonded with his dragon, and he didn't see the reason for him to be here, but him and his nephews had something special planned for today.

Vermax then came closer and closer to Jacaerys. "Call Vermax to heel Prince Jacaerys." The younger dragon keeper said.

"Serve." Jace commanded in high valyrian. And the dragonling did what he was told, but then he snapped at Jace, and the young boy had a fright and jumped back but was stopped by the older dragonkeeper. "Halt!" He commanded.

This time, Vermax listened and halted. "Well done." The elder dragonkeeper said. Just then, a goat was brought in, and Vermax immediately turned his attention to the goat and roared. He then preceded to walk toward the goat

"Vermax!" Jace called, but the dragonling did not listen. "Vermax!" He tried again, and Vermax roared. Even the dragonkeepers couldn't calm him down.

The elder dragonkeeper started to speak high valyrian, and the younger one translated for Jace. "You must hold mastery over your dragon, my young prince. The younger dragonkeeper said. As Prince Aegon has with Sunfyre and Prince Rhaegar with Vermithor." The elder dragonkeeper spoke again in high valyrian, and the younger translated in common tongue. "Once they're fully bound to you, they will refuse to take instructions from any other."

Jacaerys then looked at the elder dragonkeeper. "Can I say it?"

"Mm-hm." The elder dragonkeeper said

Jace them stepped forward. "Dracarys, Vermax." The dragonling then moved forward to the goat and breathed fire at it, and then started to eat the goat.

Rhaegar then spoke up. "Aemond, we have a surprise for you."

"What is it?" Aemond asked.

"Something very special." Luke said.

"Something you would love." Rhaegar said. "We put a lot of effort into getting it for you. You see, you're the only one of us without a dragon." Rhagar said.

"Indeed." Aemond said.

Luke ran deep into the dragon pit.

"And we felt bad about it, so we found one for you." Rhaegar said.

"A dragon? How?" Aemond inquired.

"The gods provide." Rhaegar answered.

Just then, Lucerys came out of the put with a pig that had straws for its wings.

"Behold the pink dread!" All the boys said together and laughed.

"Be sure to mount her carefully. The flights are always rough." Rhaegar said to his brother, and they all laughed again and made pig sounds. They kept laughing and then left

Aemond was angry, he was ten years old and didn't have a dragon, he went down to the pits himself, he saw Dreamfyre, the dragon of Heleana, she was claimed two years after Aemma died. She was guarding her eggs and breathed fire, and this scared the child. He then ran out of the Dragon pit only to be stopped by Ser Criston Cole.
