Balerion IS house Targaryen.
He wasn't simply the biggest weapon in winning Westeros. The vision afforded by claiming him led them to survive the doom of Valyria. The beginning of their greatness.
And when the last Targaryen to claim him died, the house divided, and they began to fall.
fr he was the anchor. Not to mention daenys saved the Targaryens with her dream after claiming balerion and aegon also saved the world with his dream while claimed to balerion. Daenerys broke the wheel after aegons prophecy was fulfilled, and balerion reincarnation burns the iron throne, breaking the wheel and ending the need for Targaryens
@@fouff925 please don't try to legitimate season 8 bullshit
@@thatoneblackdude3333 daenerys breaking the wheel and getting killed resulting in the end of the targaryen bloodline wasn't what was wrong with season 8. it was that it was that season 7 and 8 were rushed, the writing was awful, and they decided to make jon snow a joke. they should've shown more of the white walkers rampaging through the north, the wall, and such. jon snow should've killed the night king, arya should've killed daenerys after seeing what she did to the people of kings landing first hand on ground level, jon snow should've witnessed it, daenerys dies in jons arms, drogon burns the throne takes her and flies away. Jon takes the blame for arya while she escapes back to essos, jon gets banished to the wall, which is basically where he belongs cuz that's all he's really known, and the 7 kingdoms become a democracy of sorts, with the first elections leading to tyrion being named "king", sansa stays the queen of the north. bran goes to the citadel where he writes books detailing the histories of the westeros. the end
@@mindyabizniz first off Dany didn't break the wheel ( we don't even know what that really ment ) all the things that made westaros sick still exists , and second off Dany getting killed and house Targaryen going extinct was fucking stupid not only does it not make sense to make Dany the final villain at the last minute but it makes her entire story completely pointless to even say that none of that was a problem only proves to me your a biased idiot who doesn't actually know what good writing is .
Jon being banished to the wall is also stupid and unnecessary, as for all he's known ? Dude has been there for 2 years wtf are you talking about? Tyrion being king makes as much sense as bran being king your fan fiction is just as stupid as what we ended up getting.
@@mindyabizniz Dany didn't break the wheel we don't even really know what that means it's just a dumb line d&d created that they thought sounded cool and progressive, Dany after everything she's gone through dying in such a insulting way after butchering her character beyond repair is absolutely one of the many terrible decisions d&d made please have some standards , your version of the ending is equally as dumb as what we got you barely changed anything.
Balerion likes em young 👀 he better never go to dragon pit one
i wouldve loved to see this part of targ history and then the conquest, i want to see the dragons that dwarfed balerion in his old age size
Either back to Valeria or yiti you have to remember that in the book balirion had a gaping wound a few meters long on his side
“Just speculation”
Bro you just said that Balerion had dragon dementia. I’m not letting that go
Like Vhagar confunsing Aemond with Visenya, a male one eye with a patch Visenya.
@@edgarrojas5060 LMAO yes, Vaghar is an old lady with dementia
And area targaryen came back burnt Really bad and died painfully
They said Vhagar had dragon dementia too actually if you payed attention at the series of HOTD they mentioned it there that the older a dragon gets it grows weak of mind
@@edgarrojas5060 Cmon, honest mistake..
Cute face... Long blonde hair... warcrimes...
Grandpa Balerion thought he was taking Daenys home 💔
That’s so funny. Everyone in my house calls him Papa Balerion, and my daughter calls Vegar Nanna Vegar.
And was quickly reminded by a current resident of Valyria that it's occupied and was quickly and violently escorted off the premises
he comes back right and she was deceased?
@@sarthakladkat8456 she gets grey scale
@@darkbird2724 not grey scale. According to the books, if I remember correctly, when they returned she was very sick and Balerion was very hurt. And she died when a worm-like creature ripped through her from the inside
I know it’s just speculation, but I am in tears. He just wanted to go home😢
why am i crying for a dragon and aerea dammit
@@hidansektas cuz the dragon is acting like a dog who misses its home and old owner to the point that he mistook a different girl for said owner while Aerea died a brutal death she didnt deserve
What if Aerea as a born Westerosi was just fascinated by old Valyria? Seeing her house came from there.
Once she bonded with Balerion he noticed this and was like. You are intrested in old Valyria huh? We could go visit it. In fact, I myslef could do with a trip around the old place.
Hold on tight little one, here we go....
People give it such a heartbreaking spin. while it could be so much more wholesome than that.
Sure, like with all stories set in this universe there is always a bittersweet note to it.
I like to think that Balerion was not so much homesick. but was just delighted that the youngster was interested in her ancestors history. History where he himself was already part of at this point in the timeline.
@@miew8204”Come on missy lets go ona walk down memory lane!”
That Balerion has mistaken his rider for his first human bond after centuries and that he simply wishes that both of them return home. No more dragonpitt, no more battles. Only peace and the dragons of Old Valirya.
It's too sad not to be canon, it is for me.
Dragons of old Valyria that’s reasonable but peace……maybe a bit unrealistic. Just maybe a little.
@@Black_Dragon_God_Emperor eh, maybe peace by dragon standards. Like he can fly around, hunt (or let the humans feed him) and relax without worrying about people trying to shoot him down or attack his rider.
Balerion was too big for the Dragonpit.
It’s cannon for me ! Love this idea
The horror the befell them in the ruins make it that much worse
Honestly, that makes it sadder. Poor thing mustve really missed Daenys a lot
Possibly the one who showed him the most love.
He may have been tired of being a weapon of war and wanted to go back to the only place where he wasn’t one. Theories abound that the Valyrian dragons had human spirits in them to magically control them through generations. Dragon dimentia may not be too unreasonable
@@MemphisCorollaS congrats for somehow making Balerion's story sadder :, (
@@jeffreysamson5938 and relating to Memphis' comment, the only one aside from Aerea who didnt treat him like a weapon
@@MemphisCorollaS balerion now sounds like a sad chsracter.
Symbolic isn't it. Daenys was his first rider and Drogon is considered to be reincarnated Balerion and Daenerys is his first rider.
I have literally never heard drogon is balerion reincarnated? Could you post the source where you heard/read this?.....balerion was a powerhouse a flying mammoth, drogon was no bigger than sheepstealer or even vermithor see balerion had no equal so I find it very hard to believe drogon was him reincarnated
poetic
@@saveit4last Legit stated that he was balerion come again when he was born.
In the books she has dreams of dragons and drogon is described as a reincarnation of balerion @@saveit4last
@@SacressaneSimply because of the colour? Makes no sense. When Drogon goes and conquers a continent and helps install a dynasty that last 3 centuries then he can be called Balerion come again.
It's interesting how, besides Aerea, all known riders of Balerion were believed to be dragon dreamers. Aerea could have been a dreamer, too, but we just don't know.
Maegor wasn't a dreamer and neither was Viserys. So 3/5 weren't. More than half. What are you talking about?
@@sabrinaspurzem1672I don’t know about the books, but in the show vyseris is the dreamer
@@ИльяЧолак-ш1п In the books he isn't, Aegon the Conqueror and Heleana aren't either. But even in the show, I am not sure if Viserys really was. It sounded to me more like he wished so much to grasp the power of prophetic dreams like his fabled ancestors that he convinced himself that he had a dragon dream and that it must mean something. If it indeed was a dragon dream, we will never know. Only that Viserys wanted it to be one with all his heart.
But if it indeed was a dragon dream, he horrible misread it and it almost cost the complete ruin of his House and all of the dragons 😢
@@sabrinaspurzem1672 well, he did not misread it, he said that his son is on the throne. Which is true. He did not say his heir son is on the throne
@@ИльяЧолак-ш1п "The dream was clearer than a memory. Our son was born wearing Aegon's iron crown. And I heard the sound of thundering hooves, splintering, and ringing swords. And I placed our son upon the Iron Throne as the bells of Grand Sept tolled, and all the dragons roared as one."
- King Viserys in Episode 1 of House if the Dragon to his pregnant Lady Wife Aemma
He terribly misread it.
Yes, it was a son, but not their's Baelon, but his later son Aegon. He will wear the Conqueror's Crown.
There will be "thundering hooves, splintering, and ringing swords" but not in celebration of their new King but in war.
The dragons will roar as one but in sorrow, terror and pain. It will be their last roar, the beginning of the end, the ruin of the House of the Dragon, their slow dying and the end of the dragons.
What he read as celebration was the death rattle of his House.
Ever since the Doom, that little Aerea is the only person who ventured into Valyria and made it back alive.Poor child suffered one of the worst deaths.
But barely
Ummm, she came back with fire wyrm larva growing in her skin and balerion was wounded so bad he never fully recovered
@@CReed-ss2gwMore than one.
Speculated*
Aerea is the only TARGARYEN who went back to Valyria.
Euro Greyjoy is another person who went to Valyria, found and brought back a suit of armour made from Valeryan steel, you know that one metal that was lost when Valerian peninsula blew up. He found a full armour, took it, came back and didn't died of some larvae.
I'd say Greyjoy did better in Valyria than a fucking Dragon rider 😂 and he cane back on his ship while Aerea almost got her Dragon killed.
Targaryens are a hot mess bullshit incest family, each generation worse than the previous one
I still like to believe Balerion confused Aerea wish to “go home” as Valyria instead of Dragonstone, but this does help with my head cannon
We all want a show of Aegons Conquest. That's what we need.
That would be awesome. Especially Field of Fire part and Dornish war during the conquest
I think cause of how short aegon’s conquest is i think it would be better if its a 3 hour movie than a series
HBO will ruin it 😒
it should begin with the doom of valyria in the first episode and then fastforward to aegon and his siblings living on dragon stone to show what he was doing before the conquest all in the first season then the second season should be the beginning of the conquest.
@@dukehouseclothing853yes fucking yes we need to make a petition
I want Balerion the daddy in live action
Hopefully HoTD blows up so they have the budget to do a Conquerer or maybe a Jaherys series
The idea that Balerion in his old age wanted to go home with the first person he ever bonded with makes me want to cry that’s so sad
Nooooo now the ill-fated adventure Aerea had makes so much more sense 😭 poor grandpa Balerion thought Aerea was his first human, Daenys 😭💔
Then Aerea contracted flame worms and was cooked from the inside as they emerged from her flesh, dying shortly after returning home. At 13.
This lead me to a theory why Balerion was the last of the original 5 dragons that survive until Aegon's Conquest, and that is because by the time the Targaryen got to the Dragonstone, Balerion at this time is still a young dragon, no larger than a horse like they mention, meanwhile the other 4 dragons are already adult or elder dragons, so when the time of Aegon come, the 4 dragons are already die of old age or natural cause meanwhile Balerion at this is almost 120 years old, make him old and big more than enough to assist Aegon in his conquest. And i also theory that both Vhagar and Meraxes were the children of the 4 original dragons, but specific which one is unknown.
This isn’t a theory it’s already confirmed read the books vhagar and meraxes are both confirmed to be born after the targs are on dragonstone and balerion going to Valyria was due to it being the only dragon who could remember so went when he had a weak enough rider also we don’t know how old dragon can live in optimal condition due to the dragon pits stunting growth and balerion having a near death experience in valyria having been heavily damaged how do we know of what age the dragons brought by the targs could have been
There is this mysterious Dragon called the Cannibal. He eats other dragons. There is a theory that this Dragon is a different kind of dragon, older than even the Targaryen ones and that he was on Dragonstone way before the Targaryen arrived.
@@alexandruturcu310 my theory is that cannibal was from a dragon egg of another Valyrian dragon lord family that hatched after the targs settled on dragonstone and due to the blood magic the targs can’t tame a dragon of another family
Is the cannibal included to the original Targaryen dragons?
@@clintoyclintoy9025 it didn't belong to any house including the Targaryen so no, it isn't consider as the original 5 dragons of house Targaryen
He was also horribly wounded in that trip to Valyria, with both him and Aerea being infested with fire wyrms. Having a 9foot long slash down your side, wyrms eating you from the insides, probably had more to due with his death than old age.
His wounds sped up his death
It is speculation but makes a lot more sense.
Balerion did not die of old age. I mean he was old, but he was a battle hardened dragon. He took alot of wounds in his life., which more than likely shortened it by a great deal
@blaugrapunzel none of its confirmed. But very plausible.
damn thats even more sad belarion and aerea story
Balerion died of old age, but he was severely weakened from whatever killed Aerea (some say it was FireWyrms).
Pretty sure it was already theorised that either Daenys or Gaemon the Glorious were Balerion's first rider. But, it's still technically not canon, not to the books, at least. You've got to write it in the books George, if you want me to consider it canon.
If George says that it's canon then it's canon.
@@ZekeKennedy-yp2pq He didn't. It's just on a prop in the opening HOTD credits. Pretty sure not everything in HOTD is approved by George.
@@matthewhart9610 That doesn't change the fact that thinking that something not being in the books means it isn't canon to stupid
@@ZekeKennedy-yp2pq😅 no, just no.
Put it in the story or it never existed ❤
The magic of bonding or warging in the GRRM universe seems to insinuate that previous bonds leave a shadow of the feelings, intentions or presence of the previously bonded individual. It goes both ways from my understanding. For example: if a highly aggressive dragon was slain, and their rider bonded with another dragon, there would be a shadow of the impression of the aggressiveness of the first dragon left on the rider. This could then be sensed by the new dragon that would be bonded and it could have an effect on the young dragon and how it develops or if it choses to even bond with said rider. In return, old dragons that have bonded with many riders have a shadow left on them by each individual rider; saving pieces of that rider’s temperament, ambitions and sometimes overall personality. For example, Silverwing was very similar to queen Alysanne in temperament and remained so after the queen died. The next person to claim Silverwing could be potentially influenced by the shadow of the former queen and her kindness or her empathy. Especially it would seem, if that person was selected by Silverwing from a group, because she sensed a similar spirit. It’s also true to say that Silverwing’s decision could be influenced by the shadow specifically.
Balerion probably would have lived longer were it not from the severe injuries it sustained in Valyria
I thought Gaemon the Glorius was Balerion first rider. But George decided to change that.
Was it ever said that Gaemon was the first rider? The only thing known of Gaemon was that he was born in Valyria, he was Aenars son and that he was the greatest dragon lord. The only thing known of Balerion's origin was that he was born in Valyria, he was one of five dragons Aenar took with him to dragonstone and that he was young during the doom. It's far more likely that Gaemon rode another dragon from Valyria probably one that was the biggest or at least bigger than Balerion.
@@TheMrNospeakNah Aegon the conqueror was the first known rider of balerion
@@TheMrNospeak yeah. Like i said my thought it mean theory 😊. Since Gaemon also Known secure some trading ship with his dragon after the Doom.
Balerion came before the Doom so it's most likely that he already had a rider. Now we know who it was.
@@darellmawitjere You said, "But George decided to change that." Implying that what you "thought" was once a fact. So saying it that you're just having a theory doesn't make sense.
Sorry but HOTD has no authority to confirm anything. I'll wait for the Word of George Martin.
For dragons home means their birthplace and unlike Vhagar and Meraxes who were born on Dragonstone, Balerion was born in Valyria. Westeros was never truly his home so its very likely that he just wanted to go home at the end. Much like Drogon in the show who always seems to return to the Dothraki sea because its where he was born and just like Balerion, neither Meereen or Westeros were home to him.
Balerion potentially seeing Aerea as Deanys legit made me tear up. Sounds like he would’ve just wanted to go home with his beloved rider. He suffered a huge wound too so he was probably trying to do everything to protect Aerea (who reminded him of Daenys). After Aerea suffers the worst fate ever in ASOIAF, Balerion just spends the rest of his days in the dragon pit…until Viserys bonded with him years later. He only had in him to fly around King’s Landing a few times and then eventually passed himself. I’m gonna cry now over this theory 😭
I dont believe he died of old age. I think the wounds he picked up in Valyria accelerated his death. Plus, he may have also been infected by the fire parasites that killed Aerea
Aerea was no able to claim Balerion, she had no control over him or his flying route, leading to her horrible death after 1 year lost.
i remember reading somewhere that when Aerea claimed Balerion she told him "lets go home" or something like that.. and he took her to Valyria.. i took it as he took her back to his home.. but if he confused Aerea for Daenys.. it just makes it alot more sadder.. knowing what happened to her when she got back.. and makes me want to know more about whats in the doom that can hurt Balerion in that way..
When they make Aegons Conquest Series I believe the entire first season should be about Daenys house targaryen and old valyria before the doom then fast forward to Aegon Conquest in season 2
That series would be long
They wouldn’t have the budget to create a technologically more advanced city built with magic that has hundreds of dragons flying around.
A whole season about something we have very little info on?
Can't people just ask the aurthor of the books what the truth is. ....lol
So it confirmed it for the show, but not the books lol
How hope balerion is in house of the dragon 😂
Is this GRRM doing? If so it’s canon. Makes sense balerion had a rider before Aegon the conqueror.
It more likely that was Gaemon instead of Daenys as Balerion first rider or perhaps George Will Made Gaemon as rider of The Cannibal ?
No, this isnt mentioned in 'Fire and Blood' which is the source material for Hotd.
Its mentioned in the books that there's a good chance the Cannibal lived near Dragonstone before the Targaryens made it their crib.
@@darellmawitjerei swear the cannibal was on dragon stone before targaryens, that could’ve been how it got its name (lmk if i’m wrong)
@@johnnavey6036 yeah it have 3 possible theory about the Cannibal : 1. Like what you said , 2. It probably one of Aenar 5 dragon or maybe one of Dragon egg brougt by Aenar & 3. Was Maegor Dragon egg.
"Fans speculate that they travelled to Valyria" - nah it's made clear in the book and Jahaerys banned anyone from going there afterwards.
It's not exactly clear that Balerion died of old age. When he went to Valyria, he sustained a terrible wound and may have even been infected with these strange fireworm parasites, which slowly sapped the life out of him.
"House of the Dragon just confirmed..." so nothing is confirmed, got it.
You forgot that Balerion returned in a pitiful state, wearing the scars from claws of a beast much bigger than it.
In the old world, there are things much darker and more vicious than Balerion the Dread.
Balerion: On The Clock, Ready for the C-
Where was this confermed . If it's in an episode which.
This is a great find
Excellent job loreramble, as usual
This is why I wish they'd went in order versus starting with the Dance of Dragons. Especially regarding King Maegor’s “inevitable end” and Jahaerys Targaryen’s rise from childhood to arguably the greatest of the Targaryen Kings since Aegon himself. !!!
Balerion having dementia is very sad.
Does everyone who drive balerion is a dreamer?
Makes me wonder if being bonded to certain dragons gives them their dragon dreams more often cause seems like Targaryen’s bonded to Balerion tended to have those dreams more frequently lol just a thought
The dragon race needs to go near westeros to save them from whats north of the wall
Hotd confirms lol 😂😂😂😂😂 fail
House of the Dragon just confirmed? I just watched the first episode of season 2 I don’t remember anything about this?
It is in the opening credits
Can be seen in a behind the scenes featurette. The book is in Viseeys' (now Aegon's) bed chambers.
Thats kinda adorable
Oversized wayverns
I will die on the same hill as well.
🐉
HotD is NOT canon......until GRRM writes that in a book, it is purely fanfiction
Don't believe anything House of the Dragon says. If it wasn't written by Martin, then it's a bunch if bs...just like Rhaenyra's Valyrian steel sword and Aegon II's Valyrian steel armor.
Of course it’s speculation. It’s a complete yet vast world of fiction though.
If at age of 2 to 5 years size of horse, So calculating approximately balerion was 120 years old when claimed by Aegon the conqueror and was biggest in size, on other hand drogon 7 to 8 year old already bigger if live upto 100 years what could be size😂😂😂
As long as it is not confirmed by the author himself, George R.R. Martin, I don't buy it. House of the Dragon can claim whatever they want, if it's not signed off by Martin, it's not canon. Nothing but glorified fanfiction.
He wasn't "claimed" by Ariea. She was only along for the ride.
Would have gotten older if he wasn't infected by firewyrms. Thanks Aerea 😒 temper tantrum got the largest dragon left killed.😮
Balerion probably died from firewyrms. Not old age.
Imagine the carcass Balerian would have left😳😳😳 and we thought exploding beach whales were a problem🤣 can’t imagine a creature filled with flammable oil and essential magma in his gullet😮
He likely didn’t die of old age, he probably got infested with firewyrm parasites in old valyria, the same ones that killed his rider.
He never recovered from his wounds then and only flew one time with Viserys after that. He was completely healthy before that journey, and crippled afterwards.
It wasn’t age.
Isn’t it possible that balerion returned from Valyria with parasites (like Aerea), which aided in his long/slow death?
Aerea didn’t exactly “claim” Balerion. More like she got on and he held her hostage. So where he went, she went, against her will. Most likely that, or he just misinterpreted Aereas desire to go home, thus taking her to Old Valyria when she meant Kings Landing.
Probably wasn’t old age that killed him. It’s more likely what happened to him during his flight to Valyria, after the doom, that did him in.
Wait... she only got the dream after she got Balerion.
Viserys seems to have only ever had one dream when he was young and it defined his life. Never had another dream. Only rode Balerion for a year.
Aegon had a dream that caused him to unite 6 kingdoms through conquest.
Helaena has a dragon specifically named Dreamfyre and shes the most dreaming targ we've seen.
... maybe dragons are more involved in the prophetic dreams than it just being a Targ thing.
So if he was around the size of a horse by age 2-5 and drogon was like a 747 a little older than that; of drogon lives to be balerion's age... he might be bigger? Blood magic i suppose
Honestly that is rather shocking because personally I suspected Balerion was a tad older like at 300 at the least. And i could only imagine that Balerion probably had more wounds near the end of his or her life because he was the mount of Aegon the conqueror but also we would only need to look at his or her sister Vaegar right now in the show. But hey 210 to 213 is still very old so who am I to talk😅
He did not dying or old age, he died from wounds he received after visiting his birthplace post DOOM. I admit, he lived for years afterwards but it’s commonly accepted that whatever happened to him over there resulted in his death
I don’t believe he died of old age. We know he was scuffed up by his visit to Valyria. That he was fit to ride before this but by a couple decades later considered to be old and slow to the point his next (and last) claimant was Viserys who never made any use of him.
And yet when they returned, Aerea was mortally wounded, infested with parasitic worms that had human faces, and Balerion had suffered slashes and wounds from combat. And that is why no one goes to Old Valyria.
Iv always thought that Balerion thought she was Daenys and was just trying to take them back home 😢
114 years before aegons conquest… that means it takes over 400 years to happen and by the time it starts there’s 3 Targaryens left scattered across the map, might as well have never had the dream almost. Might have been better of for it but one dream saved them from Valyria, the other nearly ended her house.
Is this book canon as well?
I don’t believe he died of old age. He was attacked by something big and was never the same afterwards. He probably could’ve lived a lot longer being a royal dragon and all.
Does anyone have a link or a name for the FIRST piece of art of balerion standing up in the video? I really wanna look it up but cant find it anywhere
They could make an entire series of that year Arya spends roaming
Valeria
This also implies that Vhagar never outgrew Balerion since she died 40 years younger than he did
We know for a fact Vhagar never outgrew balerion since we're told vaghar in Fire and Blood was as large as balerion *during conquest.*
As the other guy said Vhagar was as big as Balerion during the conquest while Balerion had nearly another century of growing before his death.
Not me thinking balerions first rider was gaemon the glorious
Where was this confirmed
Wait did she have her dream of the doom line right before it happened then? Because the Doom itself was 114 BC.
Aerea didn't bond him she mounted him but couldn't control him so he took her with him to valeriya
like how granny vhagar thinks Aemond is Visenya and theyre back in Dorne but now the dornish have dragons
I still think Balerion died because of that wound he took on that misterious trip,not of old age.
He just handled better that his rider.
Why does everyone keep saying all of balerions riders had dragon dreams correct me if I’m wrong but Maegor did not have dragon dreams and he definitely rode balerion
I think this is a good call to say that every rider who claimed balerion was a dreamer and that balerion was a very special magical dragon, even amongst dragons, we know daenys, aegon and viserys were dreamers making Maegor one would also explain his paranoia and need to build the red keep and aerea going to Valyria it does fit
How will they portray Balerion in movie or tv screen!!!!!!! It will be majestic
So my question is if he was so small when they left valaryia what other dragons did the targaryens have before that and how big were they? We know they were mid teir amond the other dragonlord families and that their were dragons probably bigger than balerion but im also willing to bet the targaryens themselves had dragons that might have matched his size or close to that we just dont know about and that balerion was just the biggest dragon the targaryens every had im westeros
Considering she died from firewyrms under her skin I would say yeah
That's sick
I’m not sure it was just old age but I had a hand in it. I think that he was severely wounded by aurions dragon or at least another dragon of equal size And the wounds he sustained also played a big factor. Because as far is I’m aware he never recovered his old strength again so it was his wounding combined with age that finally brought him down.
sooo .. Balerion like them 12 it that what you saying?
Poor Balerion...he died at old age while the Cannibal is still alive.
Denys just reincarnates each generation as a keeper of omens the dragon saw her a few times and bonded with her twice
