#It's all downhill from here for Rhagerys (for a loooong while)

Something Sunday

Thank you so much @emilykaldwen , @queen--kenobi , and @alicent-archive I do enjoy getting these. They help me with my writing. I have been working on this chapter for the last three days. I still have the last half to finish. Here's one little piece that's the least...uncomfortable(?).

“Now,” Daemon dropped his hand. He took a step back and gave Rhagerys's outfit a once over. “you need gloves.” He went over to Rhagerys's wardrobe and rummaged through it until he found what he was looking for. Two crimson leather gloves. He went back to his son. “Lift your hands up.” Rhagerys did as he was told. He quickly lifted his hands up for his father. At this point he was eager to please. “Take this one.” Daemon handed the left glove to Rhagerys. He then pulled the right glove onto Rhagerys's hand. He gave it a little tug to make sure it was on tight. “Here.” Daemon held out his hand as Rhagerys gave him the other glove. He pulled that glove onto Rhagerys's left hand. He gave that one a tug as well. “Now,” Daemon took a step back to admire how Rhagerys looked after he had dressed him in the outfit of his choosing. “are you ready to go ride our dragons?” “Yes, Kepa. But,” Rhagerys looked his father up and down. “You need to change into your riding clothes.” Daemon chuckled and patted Rhagerys's face. “And I shall. You go to Starsong and wait for me. Since you have a little further to travel.” Rhagerys agreed to that statement. When Rhagerys had moved to Dragonstone his first firm declaration to his father was that Starsong would not be living in the caves of the Dragonmont. For twelve years Starsong had grown in Pentos living as freely as she wanted. Rhagerys was determined to make sure he kept it that way for her. To let her come and go as she pleased. So Rhagerys was going to stand by his decision for Starsong. She was his dragon. He did not like the idea of her being shoved away in a dark cave to sit and wait for him to decide that he wanted to ride her. He had his reasons for such a firm stance. First, and most importantly to Rhagerys, Starsong did not care for the caves. When she went down there one time, within their first week of being on Dragonstone, she called and roared in, what Rhagerys would argue, despair. Rhagerys could feel her agony, her sadness, her confusion within his heart. During that night when she called out, Rhagerys had a restless night as well. He couldn’t sleep and his body hurt. His heart hurt. He could feel Starong’s plea to him, to never lock her away. Rhagerys knew after that night just how truly strong his bond was with Starsong. He knew that Starsong needed the fresh air, the sun shining down on her to bask in, the crispness of the night air as the stars twinkled above her. She needed to be able to know that she had freedom. Rhagerys felt that Starsong loved him in her dragon way, just as he loved her in his human way. So, he would always make sure her comfort and happiness came even before his own. Another more simple reason was because, deep down, Rhagerys also did not fully care for the dragonkeepers. There was something that he could not fully decide on what it was but he knew he would never trust them to take care of Starsong nor to leave her with them. They could never understand Starsong like he did. “Rhagerys?” Rhagerys was brought back from his thoughts. He hummed in acknowledgment to his father. Daemon directed Rhagerys towards the door. “Off you go. When you see me in the sky on Caraxes, you will know to follow.”

Well, that's the only part I can show from what I've been working on the past three days. I'm still working on it so this isn't the final draft, a few pieces could change.

These are absolutely no pressure tags: @yoursweetheartsrevenge , @blankfairy , @zeciex. Plus anyone else that wants to.
