I will die of love because I love you,

Because I love you,

Love, in fire and blood.

— I Do Not Love You Except Because I Love You by Pablo Neruda

Who can know the heart of a dragon? Was it simple bloodlust that drove the Blue Queen to attack? Did the she-dragon come to help one of the combatants? If so, which? Some will claim that the bond between a dragon and dragonrider runs so deep that the beast shares his master’s loves and hates.

[Dragons] often reflect the personalities of their riders, thanks to bond they share…. These are creatures of fire.

“Fire is love, fire is passion, fire is sexual ardor and all of these things.”

— George R.R. Martin, 2012 Interview

History calls the struggle between King Aegon II and his half-sister Rhaenyra the Dance of the Dragons, but only at Tumbleton did the dragons ever truly dance. […] One such said afterward that the flight of Tessarion and Seasmoke seemed more mating dance than battle. Perhaps it was.

“I’m a romantic writer in the tradition of Romeo and Juliet. These things don’t necessarily have happy endings. Aren’t the most powerful romances the unfulfilled romances? The romances where people go their separate ways?”
