Dragons were proud creatures. Very arrogant, actually. They never bowed before anyone. Aegon knew that very well. The pact formed between a Dragon Rider and a Dragon was a bond between friends, contrary to what many people thought.
Dragons weren't pets or slaves of Dragon Riders. They were companions, so they never bowed their heads in complete submission, even to their Dragon Rider.
However, there was an exception.
The Valerian lineage.
The one bloodline to which even arrogant dragons bowed. But it wasn't easy to achieve. That was a major part of the trial for a Valerian to become the true Supreme of House Valeria.
They needed to make at least ten dragons submit to them. That was why Aegon hadn't taken it yet, as he wasn't confident and there was also the matter of the time it would take.
Yet, a dragon was lowering her head before him, submitting herself completely. And he hadn't even done anything. That shocked him the most.
