SNOWSTORM SUMMER 2022→Parallels

DANY

And for the first time in hours, she forgot to be afraid. Or perhaps it was for the first time ever.

Dany found herself moving faster than she had intended, yet somehow it was exciting rather than terrifying. The horse broke into a trot, and she smiled.

A daring she had never known filled Daenerys then, and she gave the filly her head.

***

The silver horse leapt the flames as if she had wings.

The descent was steep and rocky, but Dany rode fearlessly, and the joy and the danger of it were a song in her heart.All her life Viserys had told her she was a princess, but not until she rode her silver had Daenerys Targaryen ever felt like one.

***

The horse seemed to know her moods, as if they shared a single mind. With every passing day, Dany felt surer in her seat. The Dothraki were a hard and unsentimental people, and it was not their custom to name their animals, so Dany thought of her only as the silver. She had never loved anything so much.

Hullen says I sit a horse as well as anyone in the castle.

***

He had no destination in mind. He wanted only to ride.

The mare whickered softly as Jon Snow tightened the cinch. “Easy, sweet lady,” he said in a soft voice, quieting her with a touch.
