(Video; UN: motherofdragons)

[decisiveconquest]

(A familiar face, perhaps? Drogon is bigger than he was before, much too big to perch on her shoulder and his expressions are easier to see. Can a Dragon be worried? He certainly looks it, his low growls rumbling, unsure, at his mother's side.)

I feel like I saw this place in a dream. (The sensation of rain pouring down, blurring the lines of the buildings and washing the ash from her clothes forces her to breathe.) Is this what awaits everyone? Are these the Night Lands?

(She glances at Drogon, his eyes flaring fire bright.)

I must be alive. Unless you have learned how to fly far indeed! (Bending down, breaking herself out of her frozen state, she caresses her boy's scaly cheek.)

Does anyone recognize us?

(Aren't they always? A sexist view, but men have proven to be a thorn in her side for a long time.)

So more of a birthmark than a brand. (A strange, eerie connection and one that likely haunts Kagura. I will break the wheel. She had once dreamed of breaking chains too, setting everyone on equal footing - more or less. No more slaves.)

I take it he does not treat you well?

Yes, much more like a birthmark.

[One she's not fond of, though she accepts it's part of her body, and it will regenerate whenever her injuries heal.]

That would be an understatement. He liked to tell me that he held my life in the palm of his hand. When he finally freed me, it was only to startle me long enough to deal a blow that would slowly and painfully kill me.

[She skips the graphic details of all of it, keeping to the information that's most important to know.]

I've been training and growing stronger so that if he ever comes here, I can return the favour.

(What happened to her pales in comparison to what has befallen Kagura. Daenerys shifts closer to the other woman, gently carding her fingers through Kagura's hair. The motion is meant to comfort - something she herself likes to feel in times of stress.)

I'm sure you are stronger than him. Someone that cruel couldn't imagine you posing a viable threat. He thinks he knows you better than you know yourself.

(She has met men like him. And burned them alive.)

[It does feel pleasant, and she in turn moves a little closer. While she was never a very touchy feely person prior to coming here, Chroma has changed that. Now, she very much enjoys contact, so long as she enjoys the other person's company.

As nice as Daenerys' words are, Kagura gently corrects her with an explanation.

He was well aware of the threat I could pose. One of his powers allowed him to cause my heart pain intense enough to bring me to my knees. He made certain he had the means of taking down every youkai he created, one way or another.

[She will happily insult Naraku at any given opportunity, but she can begrudgingly acknowledge that he's not stupid.]

He only underestimated me a little. He didn't expect me to learn his weakness, much less share it with people who considered me an enemy before.

[And it's here that Kagura relaxes, both from her friend's touch, and because she did get some closure in the end.]

A friend from a later point in time from my world was here before. He told me my sacrifice was not in vain.
