All men must die. But we're not men.

For @yendany because we’re both getting tired of people getting these counterparts wrong

The Aegon who is known to history as Aegon the Conqueror and Aegon the Dragon was born on Dragonstone in 27 BC. He was the only son, and second child, of Aerion, Lord of Dragonstone, and Laday Valaena of House Velaryon, herself half-Targaryen on her mother’s side. Aegon had two trueborn siblings; an elder sister, Visenya, and a younger sister, Rhaenys. It had long been the custom amongst the dragonlords of Valyria to wed brother to sister, to keep the bloodlines pure, but Aegon took both his sisters to bride. By tradition, he was expected to wed only his older sister, Visenya; the inclusion of Rhaenys as a second wife was unusual, though not without precedent. It was said by some that Aegon wed Visenya out of duty and Rhaenys out of desire.

Daenerys Targaryen as Longmu or Wen Shi (溫氏) , a woman in Chinese mythology who was defied as a goddess after raising dragons. She was named ‘Mother of Dragons’ by villagers after she stopped a drought, and brought rain. It is believed that Wen Shi can control the weather. After Wen Shi died, the dragons, overwhelmed with sadness, took human form. In modern China, she is the patron goddess of parents and children, and stories of her devoted dragons touch hearts everywhere. (x)

rubies flew like drops of blood from the chest of a dying prince, and he sank to his knees in the water and with his last breath murmured a woman’s name.

You need her, as she needs you. 

“…Visenya was both a dragonrider and a warrior, comfortable in both silk and in ringmail…”

“Yet it was said that Rhaenys spent more time on dragonback than her brother and sister combined, for above all things she loved to fly. She once was heard to say that before she died she meant to fly Meraxes across the Sunset Sea to see what lay upon its western shores.” - Fire and Blood

“Though none doubted that Aegon Targaryen was the final authority in all matters relating to the governance of the realm, his sisters Visenya and Rhaenys remained his partners in power throughout his reign. Save perhaps for Good Queen Alysanne, the wife of King Jaehaerys I, no other queen in history of the Seven Kingdoms ever excercised as much influence over policy as the Dragon’s sisters.” - Fire And Blood
