only after a few moments battling his fears engaging with the beast he was remembered of the second dragon, Viserion, the white one, to find him hanging over him from the vaulted ceiling.<\/p>\n<p>The <i>A Dance with Dragons<\/i> adventures of the Prince culminated when he went through heavy iron doors to front the dangerous darkness in that chamber:<\/p>\n<h3>Reference excerpt from the book: The Dragontamer; <i>A Dance with Dragons<\/i><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>For a moment he saw only the blackened arches of the bricks above, scorched by dragonflame.<br \/>\nA trickle of ash caught his eye, betraying movement.<br \/>\nSomething pale, half-hidden, stirring.<br \/>\nHe\u2019s made himself a cave, the prince realized.<br \/>\nA burrow in the brick.<\/p>\n<p>The foundations of the Great Pyramid of Meereen were massive and thick to support the weight of the huge structure overhead; even the interior walls were three times thicker than any castle\u2019s curtain walls.<br \/>\nBut Viserion had dug himself a hole in them with flame and claw, a hole big enough to sleep in.<\/p>\n<p>And we\u2019ve just woken him.<br \/>\nHe could see what looked like some huge white serpent uncoiling inside the wall, up where it curved to become the ceiling.<\/p>\n<p>More ash went drifting downward, and a bit of crumbling brick fell away.<br \/>\nThe serpent resolved itself into a neck and tail, and then the dragon\u2019s long horned head appeared, his eyes glowing in the dark like golden coals.<br \/>\nHis wings rattled, stretching.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-nd\/4.0\/\" rel=\"license\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-width: 0;\" src=\"https:\/\/i.creativecommons.org\/l\/by-nc-nd\/4.0\/88x31.png\" alt=\"Creative Commons License\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nViserion&#8217;s lair under the Great Pyramid of Meereen by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.winterdesign.it\/\" rel=\"cc:attributionURL\">Winter Design<\/a> is licensed under a <a href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-nd\/4.0\/\" rel=\"license\">Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License<\/a>.<br \/>\nPermissions beyond the scope of this license may be available at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.winterdesign.it\/\" rel=\"cc:morePermissions\">https:\/\/www.winterdesign.it\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Viserion hanging, like a bat, out of the brick vaults of the Great Pyramid Dungeons Viserion and Rhaegal wait behind the door, in the darkness of the Dungeons of the Great Pyramid of Meereen;
