Every indication is given that Aemond usedhis much stronger dragonto fulfill that promise.
Will they bend the knee to Team Green or Team Black?
The Targaryens have used their dragons to assert power over Westeros, but that control is an illusion.
Nowhere is that more present than in the final scene.
We know bonds between dragon and rider exist.
The reign of House Targaryen begins with this prequel to the popular HBO seriesGame of Thrones.Based on George R.R. Martin’sFire & Blood,House of the Dragonis set nearly 200 years beforeGame of Thrones, telling the story of the Targaryen civil war with King Viserys.
Both Daemon and Rhaenyra are shown to be closely linked to their dragons.
Similarly, while giving birth, Rhaenyra’s screams are mirrored with Syrax’s cries.
However, all of these bonds can also reflect the subconscious nature of the rider who claims them.
Not to mention the fact thatVhagar is the largest living dragonand remains the greatest dragon sinceBalerion the Black Dread.
Arrax, in comparison, is still very young, having grown up alongside Lucerys.
No matter what he does, the official narrative has been set and war is now assured.
