It has very little to do with where you came from and everything to do with your desire to learn.

❰ [Bad username or site: kylo @ ren] has shared an file: MNSTRATTACK.MOV. the clip is of the creature he'd described to her at the carnival ㅡ large, reptillian, its face visible as it pushes up onto its hind legs and brings its claws down upon the outer wall of the city. once, twice, a final time and then it's pushing its way through the hole that it's made. going on to wreck whatever furious havoc on the city proper, before finally being put down. ❱

Do you recognize it?

[She doesn't answer for a while, both struggling to view the file, and then watching it until its end. It was a magnificent beast to be certain -- at least the size of Viserion, when she'd last seen him. Perhaps larger.

But it was no dragon.]

No. Though it bares some resemblance to my dragons -- reptilian.

[She hadn't dared hope -- but somehow she is disappointed anyway.]

I imagine it was hungry, with how little meat is left.

[It was no wonder it went after the human population, honestly.]

Possibly.
Some believe it was sent here deliberately. To cause unrest.
You offer a different perspective. One worth consideration.

I'm glad it's not the ones you seek.
Your children, you called them?

[Glad? She almost gets upset -- but no, he is right. They would not survive, here. And if they did, they would leave immense death in their wake for the same reason she had just offered Kylo Ren.

There was nothing for them to eat, here. Nothing but human flesh.]

Yes.
Three of them, the very last in known history.
They were hatched at my breast.

I told you of my many names.
One of them was the Mother of Dragons.

( this city isn't ready for one large, fire-breathing reptile much less three. it's better for everyone. )

That is quite the title.
How were their disposition, your children? Did they give you much difficulty?

Only for a time.
Drogon, the largest, in particular.

After a fashion, dragons tend to do as they please.
They are highly intelligent.
Emotionally sensitive.
But they were raised by human hand - my hand.
So long as they are fed well, they do not take interest in the lives of others.

They like sheep.

And when there were no sheep to be had?

There were most always sheep to be had.
If there were none, they would fly to find more.

But if you are asking if they would eat a man, the answer is yes.
If they desired, they could, and would.
There is not much to be done to stop a dragon when they want something.

However, as I have stated, they are not mere animals.
They are more likely to eat a man out of spite or anger than desire.
So it behooves man to make sure there are sheep, or anything else, and that they take care to respect the dragon’s domain.
Lest they be eaten.

Then let us hope that whomever is keeping them from you is doing so kindly.
And has sheep to spare.

[Reading those words invokes something in her chest, a flutter of ... righteous amusement? that she quickly finds herself both wanting to revel in and pack away at the same time. Wishing death by dragon digestion on others was horribly cruel. That wasn't her.

And yet. He's right. It would give some primal part of her great pleasure to feed the offenders to them for their transgressions.]

Do you truly think they may have followed me here?

[She doesn't dare hope -- but now that he's planted the thought in her head, she finds herself anxious over it.]

I won't offer you false hope.

But I do know that whoever brought us here has considerable power at their disposal.
There is no way to be sure that they're here, but there is nothing to suggest that they are not.
And if they are, we will find them.
And if they are not, you will be back with them as soon as you are able.

[There's silence for ages afterward. When she finally comes back, there is a dark intention in her words, palpable even through text.]

If that is the way of it, then they best pray to all the Gods they keep that I remain so ignorant.
