Chapter 14.5- The Seadragon's Roar

“Sister, it’s been a while” I said when she got within talking distance so I did not have to shout. She did not reply, closing the distance instead and swallowing me in a hug. Near two years between us in age meant that she was closer to sixteen than I was to fifteen and easily towered over me. I couldn’t wait for my growth spurt to finish— this wasn’t proper.

“Are you done?” I asked, face mashed into two mounds that I didd my best not to think about. She’s your sister, Laenor, I told myself. You’re Valyrians, a traitorous part of my mind replied. A part of my mind that I banished to the far reaches of the universe.

“Just getting started, lovely little brother. It’s been so long. Look at you going out and getting so big. Who would have thought that ickle Laeny climbing through the chimney could grow so big” She said, squeezing me even tighter. When thinking of anything but the breasts smashed in my face failed to work, I turned to a trusty weapon from my first life— Dumbledore being fucked by Hagrid. Every drop of blood that had strayed South returned North with due haste.

“Okay, enough. Unhand me woman” I said, and began to wrestle my way out of her grip. It seemed that had been just what she was waiting for as she tried to wrestle me to the ground. It made me think about the fights we’d had as children. Of course, then her age had given her a massive advantage. Now, all she had on me was height and in a blur of motion, she was on the ground with me poised over her.

“Okay, I give.” She said with a bright smile. I grunted.

“You don’t want to go see Father?” I asked her.

“No. I don’t want to see him like that. If he gets better, I’ll see him. If he doesn’t then let the last memory I have of him be the strong man who stood at the bow of a fleet headed for war, unbent by the wind, unafraid of anything.” She said. And I nodded. I could at least understand that much.

“Let’s go flying” She said, smile wide.

“No chance. I know Vhagar is just waiting for the chance to get Igneel and I in the air so she can take a chunk out of her” I said. And even though Igneel had grown immensely over the years, I wouldn’t bet on him in any sort of fight against the Bronze bitch. My grey lump of fire and magic just growled behind me. I figured he could sense the thoughts even if I hadn’t been specifically sending them to him.

‘Sorry bud. You know what I think. Give us a decade and I think we’ll take anyone in the world’, I sent that to him and he grunted again, at least partially mollified.

“She’s going to be on her best behaviour. As the magnanimous Queen of the Sky, she has forgiven you for all your previous mischief” I gave her a doubtful look. Magnanimous was not a word that belonged in the same sentence as the Bronze Bitch’s name.
