Chapter 14: Chapter 14: Sword to King's Landing
"Blood of my blood is too far away and he's too fast to hit. There's a chance we'll hit Rhaegal or Viserion." Ago was unsure.
"What should we do? By the way, where is Drogon? Where did he go?" Drogon is much stronger than Rhaegal and the other two. With him around, he will definitely be able to beat that little guy.
"Drogon was still sleeping in the cabin this morning. I saw the door was open just now. Maybe he went out again!" said the little maid Jhiqui.
Daenerys knew that Drogon liked to run around, but he was the only one who could help the two dragons at this time, and yet he was not here, which made her a little at a loss.
"Hurry up and send someone to find Drogon." Jorah also came to the deck and said to Jhiqui. Although he knew that the possibility of Drogon staying on the ship was very small, he still had to look for him.
"Blood of my blood, that little fellow seems to be Drogon."
The three dragons fought for a long time and their altitude dropped a lot. Ago could barely see Drogon's scarlet wings.
"Drogon?" Daenerys looked at Ago in surprise, and the meaning was clear, as if to say, what are you looking at? Drogon is much bigger than Rhaegal and the others, and now you tell me that little guy is Drogon?
Before she had time to scold Ago, Daenerys saw a faint red light in the sunlight, which was the reflection of Drogon's wings.
"It could really be Drogon, but how could he have become smaller? I've never heard my brother say that a dragon can become smaller after it grows bigger."
"But only Drogon could beat Rhaegal like this. There is no other dragon in the world. Even if there is a dragon, it is impossible for him to fight two dragons that are much bigger than himself at such a young age."
Daenerys was full of questions in her mind. The fight between the three dragons in the sky was coming to an end. After the initial anger, Rhaegal and Viserion gradually confirmed that the little guy was Drogon.
He was just as shameless as him, and no less powerful. Who else could it be but him? Even though they couldn't figure out why Drogon had become smaller.
Seeing that the two dragons were gradually losing their fighting spirit due to his abuse, Drogon stopped. However, he did not land immediately. Instead, he flew towards the cabin where he was. After entering, he used transformation again to return to his adult size.
Before he walked out of the cabin, Daenerys ran in and asked anxiously: "Drogon, it was you just now, wasn't it?"
[Give them a little lesson.] Drogon nodded.
"You scared me to death!" Daenerys hugged Drogon's neck regardless of the blood on his body.
After comforting the Dragon Queen for a while, Drogon slowly walked out of the cabin, lay on the deck at the door, turned to look at Daenerys, and then looked at his back.
Seeing Drogon's strange movements, Daenerys's confusion turned into surprise, "You want me to ride on your back?" Seeing Drogon nod, she excitedly and carefully grasped Drogon's sharp neck spike, crossed her legs and climbed onto the dragon's back, sitting on the hard scales.
Daenerys's butt, which had been trained from long-term horse riding, played a big role at this time. Although the dragon's back was a little uncomfortable, it was still within the tolerable range.
She originally thought it would take another two or three years before she could fly on a dragon, but she didn't expect Drogon to bring her such a big surprise.
Rhaegal and Viserion were only the size of sheep at this time, but Drogon was already three times their size, the same size as a full-grown horse, and she could still ride him.
But she understood that for creatures of the same size, running on the ground and flying in the sky are completely different. The bigger the creature, the harder it is to take off, let alone riding another person.
Ordinary dragons of this size certainly cannot carry people flying. Drogon has a physical fitness several times stronger than theirs. He could have carried Daenerys flying two days ago, but his dragon was a little small and he was afraid that Daenerys might not be able to sit steadily.
He was also puzzled about the speed of its growth. The original Drogon ate a lot and was much bigger than the other two dragons, but the difference was not that big. He could only attribute it to the mutation of his devouring ability.
Seeing that the Dragon Queen was sitting firmly, Drogon slowly stood up, spread his huge wings, pushed the ground hard with his claws, and flapped his wings vigorously near the edge of the deck, carrying Daenerys into the air.
Sitting on the dragon's back, Daenerys felt as nervous as when she first rode a mare, fearing that she would not be able to control the dragon.
However, her worries were obviously unnecessary, as Drogon's flight was extremely stable, allowing her to maintain balance even when encountering turbulence.
As soon as Drogon and Daenerys took off, they were discovered by the crew. They stared with wide eyes for a moment and then hurried into the cabin to call their companions, witnessing the birth of the first dragon rider in hundreds of years.
After Drogon waited for Daenerys to master some dragon-riding skills, he slowly began to accelerate, turn, and dive. Daenerys was so scared that she grabbed the neck spike tightly, and the strong feeling of weightlessness made her scream.
When approaching the sea surface, Drogon lifted his wings slightly, and the dragon and the man flew over the sea at a high speed, causing huge ripples. Daenerys roared excitedly, and the mist splashed by the ripples made her pretty little face hazy.
At this moment, she had long forgotten all the unpleasantness in Qarth, forgot her worries and fears, let go of the majesty of the grassland Khaleesi, completely freed herself, and enjoyed the pleasure of flying.
This is how a little girl should be. Hearing the Dragon Mother's excited shout, Drogon felt a sense of pampering in his heart.
They flew up into the sky again from the water, and Rhaegal and Drogon joined them, like two guards, standing on both sides.
When the crowd watching on the deck saw the two dragons fighting, they remembered the little one who had just fought with them, and they began to talk about it.
Someone well-informed told them that the little one was Drogon, the dragon Daenerys rode. They found it incredible because they had never heard of a grown dragon becoming smaller, so they were skeptical.
Drogon flew Daenerys for a few rounds, letting her have her fill before slowly landing on the deck.
"Your Majesty!"
Jorah fell to one knee and shouted.
"Your Majesty..."
Daenerys' three bloodriders spoke up shortly after.
"Your Majesty..."
The crew members, sailors and pirates on the sea followed.
Although Daenerys was the mother of dragons in the past, her dragons were still young and unruly, so it was unknown whether she could control their power. But now, she rides the giant dragons into the sky and has become a true dragon rider. She truly deserves the title of queen.
Looking at the kneeling crowd, Daenerys was inexplicably excited. Her dragon had grown up and she had six large ships in her hands. She believed that she would gradually grow stronger until one day she could cross the sea of war and head straight to King's Landing, retake the Iron Throne, and restore the former glory of the Dragon Family Targaryen!
