Daemon and Laena were the parents of Baela and Rhaena Targaryen. Baela was the eldest daughter and shared a good bond with her father. Rhaena, on the other hand, confessed in House of the Dragon episode 6 that Daemon ignores her. It’s probably because she was the second daughter, where Daemon was expecting a son.
Keeping that aside, Rhaena’s dragon egg hasn’t hatched for a long time. Laena faced the fact that half of the dragon eggs don’t even hatch. Rhaena believed that if she didn’t have a dragon, she wouldn’t be respected by those close to her. But Laena explained to her that she didn’t need to have a hatched egg to be a dragon rider. She can ride the dragon and bond with one, at the right time.
She explained her story of how she rode the dragon when she was 15 and didn’t have a dragon before that. And that was the part where we saw Rhaena quite convinced by her mother’s words.
Who will ride Vhagar now?
After the tragic death of Laena Velaryon by Vhagar’s breath, it’s a question every House of the Dragon fan wants to ask. Vhagar is the greatest dragon of the era of the House of the Dragon series, and Laena has also confirmed this. We saw a glimpse of Vhagar’s face, which was huge and fierce. Laena asked Vhagar to kill her, and Vhagar now remains free of a horseman.
Rhaena Targaryen is the one from Daemon’s family that doesn’t have a dragon now. And probably she will take her mother’s mantle and ride Vhagar. It will be an exciting scene to watch where Rhaena bonds with Vhagar. This is because dragons are entitled to a master and do not take command from anyone else. We’ve seen since the days of Game of Thrones that dragons have emotions.
And Vhagar, guilty of having to kill his own master, might reject the idea of accepting someone else as a rider. So, we can’t wait to see how Rhaena will bond with Vhagar and keep the greatest dragon of all time active in the storyline.
The second guess!
If not Rhaena, then the next likely candidate that would suit Vhagar is Aemond Targaryen, son of King Viserys I and Alicent Hightower. We’ve seen Aemond struggle to bond with his brothers because his dragon egg didn’t hatch. So that’s how he ended up without a dragon! Vhagar will probably return to Westeros and wait for the time when she has a new master.
Aemond is keen to visit the dragon caves, and we could probably see him interacting with Vhagar and even being his new master! It all depends on the next episode to give us what we are looking to watch. Aemond having the biggest dragon among all his brothers will definitely be a sight to look forward to.
