During her first few days in King's Landing, Danyla had not confined Dreamfyre to the Dragonpit. Instead, she had settled her directly in the gardens of the Red Keep. She had no intention of making her Great Dragon suffer after she had grown accustomed to soaring freely over Holy Flame Island.

"It's all right. Don't be afraid! With me here, Dreamfyre
