And having had enough of the conversation, I went to Igneel. Icarus did not follow. Either realising my mind would not be swayed, or he himself being swayed to my point of view on the matter. Now I wasn’t going top break Dorne just because I wanted to protect some lords from what most would see as the rightful consequences of their actions. No. I was doing it partly to protect my investment, and partly as an investment in and of itself.

Taking Dorne was not a reasonable ambition right now. But a lot could change in two decades. And two decades without a uniting fore in the kingdom would mean broken bonds, broken armies in countless petty wars and whatnot. Everything would be perfectly set up for me to swoop in and conquer all of Dorne if I waned to. Only if I wanted to though, this was just about giving myself the option when the time came rather than setting my mind on a path I wanted to follow no natter what.

I allowed Ben to boost me on to the saddle while I pulled him up to join me afterwards. Vhagar as larger but she was also far less accepting of people who weren’t her rider on top of her. Speaking of Vhagar, Laena had hopped into the saddle and the Bronze dragon was spoiling to get going. Of course, she would be excited at the prospect of getting some burning in.

Lanea looked over to me while Ben chained himself to the saddle behind me. I nodded at her, and Vhagar, the moving mountain with wings, lumbered across the ground before pushing herself off the ground carried more by magic than by the strength of her wings or the force with which she flapped them through the air. Igneel and I waited, giving the Bronze dragon a headstart before he pushed down on the ground for a second or two, and then he shot off, fired from the ground like a bullet from a gun. I ignored Ben’s screams from behind me. The wind would snatch the voice from his throat once we got high enough.

We shot past Vhagar and her rider, continuing on towards Dorne. I heard the sound of even more frenzied flapping behind me as Vhagar tried to close the distance. How cute.
