Syrax

[koenigsgepard]

I need to yap about her.

there seems to be a bit of a negative bias against her that I cannot tolerate. While not my favourite dragon, I believe she is the most important dragon during The Dance—let me elaborate.

(major spoilers for season 3 of hotd)

While we all love Dreamfyre for being mother, Syrax has a similar role. Especially during The Dance she is the most fertile dragon. We like to think of the dragons as an expression of power and rank their importance by their strength, when in reality that is not the point at all. Dragons are much more than weapons. Dragons are magic, and dragons are the fire the world needs to survive the long night.

The existence of dragonkind is crucial to the people living in the whole world-the Dance is just some power struggle of two people ruining it for everybody. Syrax' importance lies in keeping dragonkind alive in a world that needs dragons, not their riders. The tragedy of the Dance isn't a family tearing each other apart, it is the dragons dying.

Which makes the Dance all the more tragic. It is the small-folk who need the dragons to survive, yet the suffering they bring, forced by their riders, moves them to rise up, leading to the Storming of the Dragonpit. I think it is very intentional that both Syrax and Dreamfyre are slain during the Storming of the Dragonpit.

The two dragons in whose claws lay the fate of humanity, slain by those humans because they were misused as weapons which brought so much misery, they were better off without dragons.

In the spirit of my first year of artfight: here is Red Sprite, my Skrill OC!

It doesn't really have lore—it is held together by looks and cool weather phenomenons which it is named after

hi! What do you think being sunfyre’s rider be like?

What a good question, I hope I'm answering it right!

Firstly, dragons mirror the personality of their rider.

The type of person that Sunfyre would match with, is either outgoing; someone who likes the spotlight etc.

And it is canon that Sunfyre loves to be admired. His scales shimmer golden in the sunlight and the smallfolk love seeing him.

・Having a dragon that acts like a loyal pup

・Sunfyre wants to be around his rider as much as possible.

・So flying all of King's Landing and showing off would be the best day for Sunfyre!

・He isn't a war dragon like Vhagar or has known battle like Caraxes.

・Sunfyre would do whatever his rider wanted. That includes going to battle.

・He can be a stubborn dragon when he's injured or hungry.

・Sunfyre is extremely loyal as well as protective. There is nothing that could stand in his way when trying to get to his rider.

one of my own favorite OCs, Daherra.

She is a green and purple laying dragon from old Valyria, bonded to her second rider, the witch Maekirys.

"She has a taste for goat and sheep, burnt by herself in a cloud of smoked herbs."

She is based on spanish horses, acrocanthosaurus, and Aaravos from tdp (specifically the horns)

live-action hookfang if the design was left to me because the crocodile-base really suits him. Mostly because I saw a tutorial on how to do these scales, but he is also the best dragon and goodest boy and deserves more attention

Valaena Targaryen (oc)

Valaena was born in the year 65 AC being the ninth of the king's children, on a day that had been quiet in Kings Landing, her mother Queen Alysanne had given birth to her right at a beautiful sunset and she was lucky to have a quick and easy delivery.

The girl grew up just as spoiled as her brothers and sisters, above all she always loved being with her father King Jaehaerys, she was his little shadow from one side to the other and the king had no heart to deny his daughter's company.

She always loved her brother Vaegon but he never agreed to marry her even though she was his intense companion since they were children.

The Princess was married to Lord Hobert Hightower and Valaena and Vaegon were sent to Oldtown, she as a bride and he as an archmaester in training.

The old princess/lady Hightower took care of little prince Daeron when Queen Alicent sent him to Oldtown from a very young age, she raised him and gave him guidance on how to become a dragon rider.
