As long as it was delicious, he would eat it, thus turning the future dragon into an omnivore.
An hour later, they crossed the Sea of Thieves and flew north along the coast. That direction should be where Dragonstone was. Not long after flying, Drogon discovered that the coast was gradually submerged by sea water, forming a new sea surface. The area of the sea expanded a lot, but there was no trace of Dragonstone.
Unable to figure out the situation, he could only continue north along the original route. After flying for twenty minutes, he saw a huge island in the distance. Delighted, he accelerated forward.
Only when you get closer can you see the true appearance of the island. Although the island is large, there are no decent buildings on it, let alone a castle.
It was not Dragonstone, and he was not sure which island it was. He flew up for a distance and saw no other islands on the entire sea. He could only continue flying forward.
Ten minutes later, he still saw nothing. He knew he was flying in the wrong direction, so he changed his route and flew towards the deep sea in the east. If he couldn't find Dragonstone, he could only circle around the surrounding sea.
After flying for another five minutes, he saw a small island in the distance and a towering castle on it. He could also vaguely see a large ship on the sea. This must be it, and Drogon was delighted.
As the Duke of Dragonstone, Stannis most likely hid here to lick his wounds after the defeat in King's Landing.
As we got closer, we could already see the whole island. The entire castle was built in the shape of a giant dragon spreading its wings. The regularly arranged high walls inside the castle were like the dragon's folded wings. A narrow passage made of huge stones led directly from the beach to the castle.
There were more than thirty large and small warships of varying degrees of damage scattered around the castle, observing Dragonstone from high in the sky, and Drogon was in no hurry to descend.
He didn't know where the long table-shaped map was, he only remembered that the room where it was located was at a very high altitude and had a terrace extending out.
Waiting until dark to look for the map table would undoubtedly be the best time, but it was only around ten o'clock in the morning and he couldn't wait that long.
Stannis's personal priestess, the red-robed Melisandre, may have also come to Dragonstone with him. She was a powerful figure who gave birth to the Son of Shadow who assassinated Renly, used leeches to curse three false kings, and resurrected Jon.
Drogon is very wary of her and the wizard's strange methods, so it is best not to meet her.
Carefully observing Dragonstone from high in the air, Drogon identified several taller buildings. However, since he couldn't see the details clearly, he decided to confirm them one by one.
After selecting a building, he rushed down at high speed. He slowed down and stopped abruptly just before he reached the castle, and stood on the rain platform of an independent small building.
As soon as he stood there, he smelled the aroma of pancakes. I made the wrong choice, drogon thought to himself. After listening for a while, he heard some noise going on inside. He poked his head out of the window and saw that it was the kitchen. Several servants were busy preparing a large amount of food.
Flying away from the kitchen, he quickly came to another target, but it was not the same target.
He flapped his wings and continued to fly towards a high building that looked like a clock tower. Just as he flew past a small window and grabbed the edge of the clock tower, he suddenly felt as if he saw a pair of eyes when he passed by the small window.
The speed was too fast for him to see clearly, so he slowly flew to the sill of the small window and listened for a while. When there was no movement, he stuck his head out to confirm.
As soon as he stuck his head out, he saw a pair of big blue eyes slowly approaching the window. Before he could react, the owner of the big eyes called out.
"ah!"
There was a scream so frightening that Drogon almost fell off the windowsill.
A little girl was standing in front of the window, staring at herself blankly. The book in her hand fell to the ground out of fright. Her chubby little mouth was slightly open, which made her look very cute. Unfortunately, the left half of her face was covered by a layer of gray-black scaly skin.
Princess Shireen, Drogon knew her name immediately, a kind girl who loved reading, but was ruthlessly sacrificed to the Lord of Light by her father Stannis.
Looking down, Drogon saw the book that had fallen to the ground: Aegon the Conqueror's History of the Conquest of Westeros.
What impressed Drogon most about Shireen was her teaching the Onion Knight to read and the tragic scene of her crying in the fire and begging her father to spare her.
drogon could only sigh that she was born in the wrong place and met an inhuman father. Looking at the dark room she lived in, he knew what kind of life she usually led.
Seeing that Drogon did not fly away, Shireen boldly opened the small window, and only then could she see Drogon's full appearance. His scales were exquisite and shiny black, his half-spread wings were like a scarlet cloak, and around his thin neck hung a brown backpack that was larger than his body.
"You...you are a dragon?" shireen asked timidly.
Drogon hesitated, then nodded.
"Can you understand what I'm saying?" Shireen exclaimed in surprise when she saw Drogon nod.
Seeing Drogon nod, Shireen continued to ask: "Were you born from an egg? What are you doing here? Your backpack is really big, isn't it heavy?"
Drogon: "..."
Finding that Drogon could only listen but not speak, Shireen said to herself: "You look exactly like Balerion the Black Death. He is the largest and longest-lived dragon in history. I read this in a book!"
After Shireen finished speaking, she showed Drogon the cover of the book and then flipped through the illustrations inside.
When Shireen mentioned the backpack, Drogon remembered that there were a few candied dates in it as snacks, and he took them out to appease the little girl.
The little paw reached into the leather bag and handed the remaining three candied dates to shireen.
"This...is this for me?" shireen asked in surprise, looking at the translucent red candied dates.
Seeing drogon nod, she carefully reached out her hand, took one and put it in her mouth. When the candied date entered her mouth, she closed her eyes sweetly, feeling that this was the most delicious food she had ever eaten.
Looking at Shireen's cute appearance with squinting eyes, and then looking at the dark and small room she lives in, it is estimated that her parents have never given her any good food. As a princess, she lives a similar life to Daenerys, the Targaryen princess.
Looking at her little face, Drogon remembered that Jorah's greyscale had been cured by Samwell, and Shireen's face should be able to be cured as well.
However, Samwell is probably still playing hide-and-seek with the White Walkers at the Wall, and it is unknown when he will go to the Citadel. Before that, we must ensure that she is not burned to death by Stannis.
The only way to save Shireen is through the Onion Knight, the smuggler who brings onions and pickled fish to Stannis in need.
If he wasn't in the dungeon now, he would be in it soon, but he lived longer than Stannis and survived to the end.
Shireen ate a candied date and licked her lips while looking at the other candied dates in Drogon's hand but didn't touch them. Drogon stretched out his claws. Shireen looked at the remaining two candied dates and hesitated for a moment before saying, "I can eat one, you can keep the other two for yourself!"
Drogon found her reluctance a little funny and stretched out his paw again, and Shireen carefully took another one.
"What's in your bag? It's so big! Isn't it heavy?" shireen asked curiously while eating.
She was not thinking about whether there were other food inside, but she was wondering why such a small dragon like Drogon would carry a backpack bigger than him. She didn't think that the backpack was full of candied dates.
Drogon tilted his neck, took off the backpack and placed it on the windowsill, motioning Shireen to come and see for herself, fully satisfying her curiosity.
