Chapter 75 - Chapter 75: Nine Dragons

However, while such mutations are good for the growth of Young Dragons, they also entail greater risks.

After all, they haven't yet formed complete conscious minds. If they accidentally lose control, the damage caused would be greater and irreversible.

This conclusion made Viserys pay even more attention to training the Young Dragons, teaching them to control their power.

Rhaenys also joined this process. Although Meraxes has not yet displayed special abilities, its growth rate is the same as these three Young Dragons, far exceeding any dragons recorded in history.

Just as Viserys was further observing and training the Young Dragons' special abilities, the remaining five dragon eggs in the volcanic cave also began to hatch.

The first to hatch was the dragon egg with a soft pearl-pink base color and golden stripes on its surface. With a series of crisp cracking sounds, a slender claw extended from the crack, followed by a head covered in pink and golden scales.

It shimmered in the faint light, its wing membranes were pale gold, and its golden eyes revealed calmness and docility. It let out a sharp hiss, with a melodic quality to its sound.

Viserys walked forward, and the Young Dragon curiously observed him, sniffing with its nostrils. When Viserys reached out to stroke it, it docilely lowered its head, emitting a contented sound.

"Syrax." Seeing its appearance reminded Viserys of Rhaenyra, the famous'she-dragon' of the Targaryen Blacks during the Dance of the Dragons.

So he named this Young Dragon after her dragon.

Immediately after, the dragon egg with crimson and dark grey spiral patterns also began to hatch.

After the eggshell broke, a slender, snake-necked head emerged first. Its scales were deep crimson, interspersed with dark grey patterns, and its wing membranes showed a gradient of pink and grey.

Unlike Syrax's docility, this Young Dragon vigilantly surveyed its surroundings, its amber vertical pupils showing innate caution. When Viserys approached, it recoiled slightly, letting out a warning growl, but did not attack.

"Caraxes." Viserys gave it this name because the historical 'Blood Wyrm' was known for its caution and cunning, and its appearance was also very similar to the 'Blood Wyrm'.

He waited patiently, allowing the Young Dragon to familiarize itself with his scent, until the Young Dragon gradually relaxed its guard and allowed him to touch it.

The third to hatch was the bronze-colored dragon egg with dark green smoky patches.

The Young Dragon that emerged was covered in dull yet thick bronze scales, shimmering with a metallic cold light. When it stood up, it felt a size larger than the other two Young Dragons, giving a sense of power. It raised its head and let out a deep, powerful roar, with a hint of ferocity in its voice. This dragon seemed born for battle.

Viserys named it "Vermithor," the Targaryen's former "Bronze Fury."

The fourth Young Dragon made Viserys's eyes light up; it hatched from the cobalt blue dragon egg.

Its scales were sky blue, like the color of a clear sky, particularly striking in the cave. The small horns on its head and its dragon wings were pure silver-white, forming a stark contrast with its scales.

This Young Dragon had the most gentle and quiet temperament. After hatching, it sat quietly in place, observing everything around it with its pale blue eyes. When Viserys approached, it merely shivered slightly, then rested its head on Viserys's outstretched hand.

"Tessarion." When Viserys spoke this name, the Young Dragon let out a soft chirp, its voice clear, as if it approved of the name.

Finally, there was the amber-gold dragon egg with pearly white flame patterns.

When the eggshell shattered, a Young Dragon, as if cast from solidified sunlight, appeared before Viserys. Its scales were dazzling gold, while its horns, spinal ridges, and wing bones were an even brighter white, as if metal scorched by high heat.

As soon as it was born, it let out an exceptionally loud and proud hiss. When it accepted Viserys's caress, its head remained held high.

Viserys named it "Meleys," meaning sunshine and flame.

At this point, all nine dragon eggs collected from Dragonstone, Summerhall, and King's Landing Dragonpit had successfully hatched.

The five newly hatched Young Dragons were brought back to Dragonstone and settled with the previous four. The temporary dragon's nest had been expanded and was now large enough to accommodate nine Young Dragons, but Viserys knew this situation wouldn't last long as the Young Dragons would grow quickly.

Surprisingly, the sky-blue Young Dragon, Tessarion, showed a special closeness to Ashara. It actively walked towards Ashara, who was watching the new Young Dragons from the side.

It looked up, gazing at Ashara with its gentle pale blue eyes, and let out a soft chirp. Ashara was slightly startled. Under Viserys's encouraging gaze, she tentatively extended her hand. Tessarion immediately rubbed its head against her palm, showing great affection.

"It seems it has chosen you, Ashara," Viserys announced with a smile. "From now on, Tessarion is yours."

A blush of surprise and emotion appeared on Ashara's face. She gently stroked Tessarion's head, and waves of light shimmered in her pale purple eyes. "I will take good care of it, Viserys," she solemnly promised.

From the purple eyes of House Dayne, it can probably be concluded that they might be descendants of ancient Valyrian shepherds, and should belong to the same lineage as one of the Forty Dragonlord Families.

After all, House Dayne's history is extremely ancient, dating back to the Dawn Age, when they called themselves 'Kings of the Torrentine' in Dorne, long before the rise of the Valyrian Freehold.

Viserys thought Tessarion choosing Ashara was a good thing. After all, Ashara was one of his most trusted people, and having her become a Dragonrider would not only enhance her own safety but also give him another reliable Dragonrider companion.

The remaining seven Young Dragons still centered around Viserys.

His powerful dragon king bloodline and the mental resonance during the hatching process gave these Young Dragons a natural dependence and obedience towards him. He was like a 'dragon core,' maintaining the connection between all the dragons.

The appearance of nine Young Dragons brought joy, but also real challenges. The first four Young Dragons born were already the size of large hounds, with astonishing appetites. The total amount of meat consumed by all nine dragons daily was an astounding figure.

Although the Valyrian Peninsula had been cleared, apart from marine species along the coast, there were hardly any ordinary animals on land, only magical creatures. The Young Dragons were not yet a match for those creatures and could not hunt on their own.

Long-distance transportation of fresh meat from the Free Bay was also quite costly and not a long-term solution.
