Rhaenyra Targaryen commands Vermithor the Bronze Fury. In House of the Dragon Season 2, Episode 7, Rhaenyra Targaryen demonstrates her authority by commanding the massive dragon Vermithor (the “Bronze Fury”) to calm down using High Valyrian, including the command Dohaerīs (Serve). She approaches the riderless dragon on Dragonstone, successfully calming him and placing her hand on his snout before instructing him to face the potential dragonseeds. Rhaenyra uses her Targaryen heritage and Valyrian, along with a commanding presence, to subdue the usually aggressive, riderless dragon,, allowing her to stand with her back to him. Following her command to “serve,” she authorizes the dragonseeds to attempt to claim him, though he initially rampages, killing several before accepting Hugh Hammer. Some interpretations suggest Vermithor respects her due to her royal blood, or that he recognizes her as a fellow Targaryen, as she has known him since childhood. This scene highlights Rhaenyra’s capability as a dragonrider and leader, controlling a dragon second only to Vhagar in size and ferocity.#explore #houseofthedragon #targaryen #iran - @uncommon_clip01
