#since if it would be Cannibal I can see her and Baela lying in wait upon dragonstone when Aegon tries to claim it after KL falls

[swimmingferret]

in regards to your poll, vermithor would also be a great choice and really thematically resonant as you pointed out, but the idea of rhaena - traditionally feminine, soft spoken compared to her twin, the sister that's more often overlooked - claiming the unhinged Fuck All of Ya'll dragon that eats other dragons for sport is really fucking funny and I'd love to see it

yea! like I was first thinking Vermithor since he's such an icon of the first solid step of the Targaryen rule and even in the current asoiaf books Jaehaerys is still regarded as the greatest Targaryen king, but Cannibal is just so unhinged and having him devour Sunfyre, who Aegon made his golden banner after, would be so fitting

Also toying with the idea Rhaena even offers Morning's egg to the Cannibal to distract him long enough for her to climb onto him, and then she just has to hang on as he goes postal when she jumps up onto his neck. (like you know Avatar where to be chosen and tame a Banshee it would attack them first? sorta like that)

Rhaena: *climbing up the Dragonmont* alright I must tame a dragon to help my family in this growing war, especially after Rook's Rest. Hopefully Vermithor is near, as he would be used to humans so he would be a safer option than the wild Sheepstealer or Grey Ghost. Or even Silverwing, as she had a female rider so she may be more partial to me.

Cannibal: *hanging off the side of the mountain and blending into the volcanic glass that she nearly runs into him*

Rhaena: ...fuck it, we ball
