the theme of dreamfyre for herself and her riders is simply that you cannot outfly rot and that even a dragon cannot save women from westerosi gender violence and i think about her name and the hundreds of thousands of miles she flew with rhaena searching and searching for home and daughters and meaning and the years spent stabled in the dragonpit as helaena was consumed by her grief and solitude and then her eventual death madly trying to break free of her bonds as the pit was stormed, crashing into the great stone dome, and being crushed to death along with her attackers. a grounded dragon, killed by her own escape from something as mundane as humans and rock
