𖤓 𝐁𝐀𝐂𝐊𝐆𝐑𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐃: a clutch can have 3-5 eggs in it.
Viserion, had been absent for a while now, and Dany was getting worried. Where was he? With so much happening and enemies seemingly surrounding her, she wanted to make sure Viserion was okay. And he had been acting differently...So, she climbed atop Drogon and they went looking.
・Viserion had always been affectionate; the most affectionate out of the three dragons.
・Dany always thought of him as a 'mama's boy,' but as she flew over mountain, sea and sand, she finally realised.
・Viserion was not a 'he' afterall.
・Drogon and Dany watched as Viserion huddled against a mound.
・To anyone else, it looked like a pile of rock, but as Dany got closer, she saw the clutch.
・It wasn't overally large, so Dany guessed there were three. Three eggs. Just like the ones she was gifted all those years ago.
・Drogon landed, in Viserion's eyesight; a respectful distance. Physically telling Viserion that he was not there to dominate.
・Dismounting, she walked the rest of the distance.
・When reaching her youngest dragon, she was hit with a wheel of emotions; heart ache, love, shock, benevolence and fear.
“Ñuha jorrāelagon, Viserion.” (My beloved Viserion)
・Dany cried out, moving slowly toward her daughter.
・Viserion made a crooning near-whine, when she saw Dany.
"Oh my girl," Dany cried, coming to touch Viserion's face.
・And it felt like seeing her properly, for the very first time.
・The golden dragon huffed, and nudged her nose toward the enclosed eggs.
・Dany knelt down and she was astonished.
・The eggs pulsed with life, such a contrast between these and Dany's own eggs.
・Drogon swooped overhead, guarding the area. Eliminating all threats.
・Since Viserion had kept her clutch a secret for so long, Dany decided the eggs should stay there. Only a dragon could reach that cave. Or a dragonrider.
・Only a chosen few are told about Viserion and her eggs, i., Missendei, Greyworm, Tyrion. Yet somehow the rumors spread.
・This becomes so much more than the war for the Iron Throne.
・Now it's about legacy. It's about what will change in Westeros.

So, Vis birthed four eggs.
Not heavy in weight; they are lighter than stone.
As they grew, the shells hardened.
They were warm, pulsing with life. Colourful and vibrant. They thrummed when touched. It felt like a tickle, to them.
Rhaegal will not approach them. Drogon, seen far off in the mountains, hasn’t returned since they were laid.

The information spread like a wildfire, no matter how hard Dany tried to conceal it.
Assassination attempts multiply. Priests in red, white, and black arrive to declare omens of doom.
They send envoys to buy the eggs with gold, slaves, ships
Archmaesters declare her a second Maegor.
They declare that she is 'Not just a Targaryen, but here to End Man’s Rule.'
And they have that last part true...

Those who were once allies out of strategy begin to see Daenerys not as a liberator, but a founder of an age.
Tyrion stops thinking like a Hand. And starts thinking like a man writing a new world.
Missandei grows more devoted. She watches the eggs with wonder. There is no fear in her. Only awe.
Grey Worm triples the guard at Danerys' side.
The alliances she has with other Houses, are now different. She is not the one seeking allies for politics. She has now become formiddable.
Soon people will be begging for a union. And any kind at that.
Dany doesn't need to marry for alliances; she can marry for love.
She has now become the top predator.

Dany grieves. Because this was never meant to be her path. She cannot birth a child, and now her dragon can? Danerys weeps, quietly, one night with her hand on the eggs. But not with jealousy. But with hope. A clear vision of what she must do. Who she must be. However, she does feel fear. And a lot of it. Because Viserion’s clutch is not a symbol. It is a weapon of nature, born without cost—and therefore without balance. So...what will best the cost? Who will she lose?

🌈 The new dragons might have deeper ties to the world’s mystical forces:
𝑪𝒐𝒏𝒏𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒕𝒐 𝑶𝒍𝒅 𝑽𝒂𝒍𝒚𝒓𝒊𝒂: As the eggs didn't lay dormant for centuries like Dany's had. They may carry Valyrian magic. Potentially unlocking secrets about the old dragonlords and maybe even their ancient spells.
𝑰𝒏𝒇𝒍𝒖𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝒐𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒆𝒏𝒗𝒊𝒓𝒐𝒏𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕: The presence of dragons often corresponds with the resurgence of magic. These dragons might further amplify that magic, this creates opportunities... the good and the bad kind.
𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒑𝒉𝒚𝒔𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒍 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒍𝒅 is changed abundantly. Where Viserion chose to lay her eggs, the area and beyond - began to grow, and in ways never seen before. Beautiful greenery with vines twisting over stone as if pulled toward the eggs. There's blooming flowers ... even those out of season. Some people were most amazed when herbs long thought extinct begin to appear in unexpected places.
𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒄𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒛𝒆𝒏𝒔' 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒍𝒅 began to change; even their dreams. Those that were closer to the mountain, dreamt of the future. Of more dragons. Of magic.
