What was so special abt aegon’s bond with sunfyre tho
you did not just ask me this ....... sunfyre refused to die just like how aegon refused to die. both of them had horrific injuries, injuries that should have KILLED them but neither died because both of them had to continue on fighting. when they were separated, both of them on death's door, they kept searching for each other. sunfyre had a broken wing yet he tries in every single way to survive, to get back to aegon, until aegon wins the war. a broken wing, a broken body, a broken mind both of them have yet it was their bond which kept them alive. sunfyre could barely fly just as aegon could no longer walk, but he still found him after so long and he stayed by his rider's side until he could finally finish it all for him: by killing rhaenyra. in the end, sunfyre died, but he refused to do so before he could make aegon finally find his peace. and aegon cried such bitter tears over his beloved dragon's death like come on it is about the PSYCHIC CONNECTION to the SUPERNATURAL CREATURE that is only yours it is about TRAGEDY about ANGUISH it is about the BOND NO ONE ELSE HAS it is about the RIDE OR DIE it is about LOVE !!!!!!!!!!
#it is literally written in the text that once sunfyre and aegon reunited on dragonstone it honestly seemed like they were getting better#like they were starting to be able to physically heal and their pain was receding#because sunfyre dragged himself to dragonstone#because aegon searched that entire island high and low until he found him#not to mention aegon was literally prepared to KILL baela after sunfyre died and had to be heavily talked out of it#like he was willing to incur the kinslaying taboo even against a surrendered prisoner of war because sunfyre was dead#it was noted by contemporaries that sunfyre and aegon were astonishingly close and they really did feel everything for each other#that line 'who can know the heart of a dragon' comes from someone saying that sunfyre went to dragonstone#because he sensed aegon was there and sensed his need for him and became desperate to find him#they're so special and you either get it or you don't (tags by @navree)
