 It was during night when  Darla was laying bed and father tuck her in, she was only 5 years old during that time,"papa, what does King's Landing look like?"  He looked down at his curious young daughter, she seem to wonder about the outside world from their village and said," well then, ye wonder about the King's Landing, don't ya? It's surrounded by different people than you and me self, I got there selling the horses for I seen the great big castle." She was so amazed as  try imagine her father when  travels far to sell horses there or goods and asked wonder what these different people are like," why are they so different papa, do they dress different too?"

Bardon chuckled and knew his daughter Darla surely gets everything from him so curious and free spirited," certainly probably never played in snow in there lives, who knows if even snows there."  Darla frowned and  gasped," they never played in snow in their lives that's so terrible papa, they never played snow fights."

He wasn't sure what child like herself will be like when she's older, sometimes it worried Bardon and Darla wary eyes were being rubbed by her gentle small little hands eventually she drifted to sleep. Her parents watched her as  grew up being beautiful like her mother and restless wild child like her father once was.

Henrik begged his father," please father, can we go play into forest! Darla will take us, please! Please!" Their mother placed her hand on Bardon's shoulder than said," now Bardon, ye must let the children enjoy being young they did indeed help ye with farm yesterday evening and this could be their reward if they become back home before moon rise.

He sighed as thought it over, since their mother was okay with the children going off to play and Darla was going with them himself didn't seem bother by any harm. Bardon nodded his head agreeing," all right, if yer mother agrees to allow you go play into forest be back at before moon rise and be very safe."  

Darla smiled with excitement," we promise to come home before dark, papa!" They happily ran off playing in forest near the rivers chasing each other while Darla held little Nadia watching them sitting near the river. She seen something so  strange by the rock near the river and asked herself," what is that?" She sat Nadia down and walked over to this  strange egg shape rock, it looked so odd that herself wonder what her siblings would think.

 Darla shouted," c'mere, I found odd shape rock and you need come to see this!" They ran over and gather up seeing this odd egg shape rock, Henrik teased her and snickered to others," oh no, Darla found  dragon when wakes up it's going eat us all, we might as well keep it for the rock is pretty odd"  She rolled her eyes at her little brother, who's honestly could be an arse sometimes and gets it from  their father of course. Darla replied," haha, very funny little brother dragons died out ago! Maybe it's  a rare rock and certainly no dragon."  

Or so she believed the egg shape rock was not  a dragon, there was no way in name of gods it could be and deep down part of her was bit curious if it might be. By sunset her and younger siblings rushed back home, after the had  warm  meal everyone was off to bed.

Not one of the Windborn children could sleep during this very night, Lucian whispered," I can't sleep, are ye guys still awake? I keep thinking about that odd rock we brought home together that Darla found." There youngest sister Nadia seem to be awake, she was curious too for 2 year old and Darla replied," neither can I, myself only can think of the odd rock I found." Henrik was awake as well and sat up upon his bed looking directly at warm fire pit near by," if we're curious and you are too why not, might as well dare ye put that rock in bit of fire pit."

Joslyn said," ye're daring Darla to put the odd thing in the fire pit, how is that suppose to solve our curiosity."  Rosalina giggled and clapped her hands with excitement and only thing she desired most was seeing what might happen with this little dare," because the rock might be a dragon, do someone need to be the dragon king of 7 realms to awake a dragon?" Henrik raised his eyebrow and suggested privately no one would need be loyal Targaryen just to wake a dragon, he said in a serious tone," psh, I bet the dragon king can't awake up  dragon egg if it is one and that if our sister wakes a dragon it will make king look like a helpless kitten."

Darla nodded," all right then, I'll put the rock in the fire pit and we might as well make something on floor to rest on watching it over night." She placed it the fire pit making sure fire take lit and end up helping her siblings made pallet upon the floor. They waited for something to happen as they lay before the warmth from the fire, all the odd rock did there was stood there right were she placed it.

They eventually drifted a sleep and slept for a while or so however, it changed completely when they heard this odd nose as something struggling break through. The children and Darla woken their weary eyes seeing the odd shape rock wasn't what it seemed to be.  Whatever was inside it make these moaning whimpering sounds and gentle growling,"bloody name of gods what is that inside that egg?!"  Henrik said.

Never in this boy's life he expected  such things happening here, Darla held her two younger sisters who were beside her,"shh, it's okay whatever is I am sure it's not very frighten." She replied, although her sister Joslyn and Rosalina eyes widen when rolled off from fire pit after burst open from the top and whatever is it was very much alive. Darla stood up and picked up blanket where walked up too it very quietly, she end up covering it up since it was hot from the fire. Rosalina gasped and whatever the thing was surely whimpering these strange cries," Darla has caught it! It's making funny noises, it's alive!"

They backed away, Darla said," stay right there, don't wake up Nadia." She slowly uncovered it and eyes widen of what revealed under the blanket," d-d-dragon.." It looked up at her confused but nuzzle under her chin, the children were to shock say anything there two eldest brothers walked in," oi, what's going on about h-..Is that..."  One the twins said.

Darla only nodded and didn't knew what say, she was holding  dragon, it was alive and breathing. In fact it seem to like her and she didn't knew how their parents would react that there's living breathing dragon with scales with as snow with little silver grey upon it's little head. The dragon was tiny little thing as well," well, yes we must keep it and give a name. It's just baby, would yourself want something so fragile getting killed big brother?"

He didn't knew how  reaction but sighed, it looked harmless and liked Darla very much nor was the little thing frighten either," all right then, the dragon is responsibility and I am sure you can think of name for it."

Darla looked at the little creature now sleep in her arms, she peeked in the blanket for it definitely was a girl and she thought of name for the dragon," how about Slyvena, I know she definitely a girl so I think she'll love this name."

After that night Darla looked after it and while having the little dragon for a while eventually her mother found out  and father knew all along but her family accepted since she was close it would be terrible harm the little thing when maybe Old Gods  chosen her for  great things.
