**Laenor POV**
I was sitting on my couch popping grapes into my mouth. Looking outside into the seashore, Embaryx and Veltharys are playing on the sand with Laena looking over them. Embaryx my dragon is black with grey mixing in along his belly. He has a slightly longer neck than normal but not so much like Caraxes. He is energetic and only enjoys the presence of my family, and not even Uncle Vaemon could touch him without Embaryx snapping at him. Veltharys is a purple dragon with many other colors brilliantly mixing into her bulky body. Mother said that dragons do not have any permanent gender, but they choose theirs after birth and stick to it until something big happens in their or their rider's life.
Veltharys is a she-dragon and is beautiful amongst the two Velaryon dragons. She even surpassed Embaryx in being energetic. Probably due to her rider being Laena, who could not sit for more than a few moments. Veltharys has the same build as Drogon in the show. Now what I did know about them is that they will not be the same Targaryen dragons, but nothing more than that. So for the past six moons, I have written down everything I found that is different from Targ dragons.
First, Embaryx and Veltharys eat more to sustain their unnatural growth. Both of them have grown to the size of a growing horse in the past six moons. Second is that their scales differ from Targ dragons as they are rough and hard, unlike my mother's family hatchlings which have smooth and warm scales. But these are very somewhat expected, knowing the amount of life force I have transferred into them. What I was expecting was some other wonderful magical ability.
For the past five moons, they didn't show anything other than my mother saying that their fire burns quite hotter than it should at their age. But this moon, when both Embaryx and Veltharys were sleeping in the cave with Meleys, who has taken the role of mother dragon in the life of both hatchlings, I saw something which surprised me quite a bit. The charred earth curtsy of Meley's fire had changed into grass the size of my finger. Now it wouldn't be surprising if I did not see hard land just the previous night.
After that day, I made them stay in different places where no greenery was in sight, but the result was the same: wherever they said flora flourished in a single night. Although not useful in wars or fights, this ability is still useful if it grows with time. Imagine them being able to make normal plants magical by growing them with their magic. But who knows what will happen, so I have to wait and see.
But when Laena found out about this ability, she immediately told our parents of her happiness, as our dragon could do more than destroy. They were shocked, to say the least, and after that, Mother asked us to let our dragons sleep in her garden. And now she dots on both dragons more because they make her lovely garden more beautiful. I have named my dragon after the High Valyrian word "Embar" which means the Sea in the common tongue. Laena named her dragon Veltharys because she liked the name and it is based on our House Velaryon.
These six moons were gone, the same as the two weeks before the dragons hatched. My swordsmanship has grown leaps and bounds as time has passed; there is nothing surprising there. My hydrokinesis has improved greatly, and now I can control a great amount of water and shape it into whatever I want. I am currently doing just that as water all over in the chambers is in the air and is changing shape to animals of land and sea within a few moments. Knock on the doors of the chambers and the water gracefully filled the containers as I stood on my leg.
"Come in," I said. The heavy doors opened up and in came my mother wearing a black and red dress made of expensive silk which looked great on her.
She approached me and took her seat opposite where I was sitting. "Are you ready?" she asked, looking at the dragons playing with a barely noticeable smile on her face.
"Yes, I have taken out all the things I would need during our stay there," I replied, pointing at things that are out and placed nicely on the bed. "What about both of them? Who would take care of them?" I asked looking at Embaryx and Veltharys. The tourney or tournament held in celebration of King Visery's ascension is in Maidenpool and Father has decided that we should attend this or the counsel of Viserys will fill his head with doubts about House Velaryon's loyalty.
She replied, "I will make a journey to Dragonstone just after this and will bring two dragon keepers from there on Meleys." I nodded but was still doubtful if dragonkeepers would be able to take care of them while we were away. "Do not worry son, I will travel back to Driftsmark every two days to check on them," She said with a reassuring look on her face.
"You don't need to do that." I refused because she didn't need to tire herself needlessly. Embaryx and Veltharys are big enough to hunt small fishes from the sea and there are also small guards routine which is protecting and watch over them constantly as ordered by Father. Talking about the father, "What excuse did father make in the court?" I asked as House Targaryen has found out about our dragons and they would have asked no question if there is only one dragon as Laena has a dragon egg of her own but two were impossible as the dragon keeper keeps records of every dragon egg so the existence of Embaryx could not be explained.
"He told them that he got both eggs from Asshai. And after so long placing them on warm coal bedding they woke from the stone." Mother said frown came over her face at the mention of my father's trip to Asshai. "But I think even my cousin wouldn't be so stupid to believe that therefore they would ask you and Laena in private when me and your father aren't looking. It's up to you two to convince them that they hatch just magically."
I nodded. "We'll not mess it up," I said while looking over to Laena who looked tired and ready to return back to the keep.
