chapter 62

After a while, Malaevor was left on the ground panting while William remained standing with no hint of tiredness on his face.

William, then went up to Malaevor who was laying on the ground tired. And said: "Since, you did so well today. How about we go for a ride on my dragon?"

This immediately made, the tiredness of Malaevor disappear and then he sprung up from the ground and quickly said: "Yes!"

This made William chuckle, and ruffle Malaevor's white hair.

"Alright, let's go then" William said as he began walking in the direction where his dragon rests.

With Malaevor following closely, William led the way to where his magnificent dragon, The Cannibal, rested. As they approached, the sheer size and grandeur of the dragon came into full view. Cannibal's dark scales glistened in the sunlight, his wingspan casting a long shadow on the ground. 

Malaevor couldn't contain his excitement as he sprinted toward the dragon. William's voice cut through his exuberance, a gentle reminder of caution, "Be careful, Malaevor. Watch your step."

Malaevor slowed down and approached the massive dragon. Cannibal's eyes shifted toward the young boy, acknowledging his presence but remaining largely indifferent.

Malaevor then began to stroke the dragon's rough scales, his touch both hesitant and awestruck. The Cannibal observed the young boy for a moment before returning to his stoic repose. It was as though the dragon recognized the bond between Malaevor and William, granting Malaevor a measure of acceptance.

William, standing beside his dragon, watched the interaction with a smile before turning his attention to The Cannibal. "How have you been?" he asked.

In response, Cannibal emitted a low, rumbling roar, you could almost say a grumpy roar.

Seeing this, William patted the dragon. He's always like this, A tsundere that won't admit that he likes William. Even though after all these years their bond has grown a lot. 

Malaevor who came to William's side, tugged at William's shirt, his face not being able to contain his eagerness. "Can we go for a ride now?" he asked, his eyes shining with anticipation.

William patted his son's head and said:" Alright, let's go."

Together, they approached the dragon's massive form. With a helping hand from William, Malaevor managed to clamber onto the dragon's back, his excitement palpable. William joined him shortly after, settling himself behind his son.

Cannibal slowly rose to his full height, his powerful muscles propelling his colossal body into an upright position. The ground trembled beneath them as the dragon's wings extended fully.

With a powerful flap of his wings, Cannibal launched into the sky, ascending with a grace that defied his size. The wind rushed past them, and the landscape of King's Landing unfolded below, the cityscape gradually shrinking as they soared higher.

Malaevor held on tightly, his laughter ringing out as they took to the sky. The city, with its intricate streets and towering structures, appeared like a miniature world beneath them.
