Editing Stormcloud (section)

==History==
A [[dragon egg]] was placed in the cradle of Prince Aegon Targaryen at his birth, and hatched into the dragon Stormcloud. At the start of the civil war called the [[Dance of the Dragons]], nine-year-old Aegon had yet to mount his young dragon.{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - The Blacks and the Greens}}

During the civil war, it was decided by Prince [[Jacaerys Velaryon]] that his half-brothers Aegon and [[Viserys II Targaryen|Viserys Targaryen]] should be sent to [[Pentos]] to be [[fostered]] by the [[Prince of Pentos]] for their own safety. In late {{Date|129}}, the young princes boarded the Pentoshi cog ''[[Gay Abandon]]'' at [[Dragonstone (island)|Dragonstone]]. Aegon took Stormcloud with him, and Viserys took his dragon egg. In the [[Gullet]], the cog and her escort ships were captured by warships sailing under the banners of the [[Three Daughters]]. Aegon escaped by flying away on Stormcloud, his first flight.{{Ref|FAB|The Dying of the Dragons - The Red Dragon and the Gold}}

Prince Aegon managed to reach [[Dragonstone]], clinging desperately to his dragon's neck. Stormcloud had been terribly wounded as he fled; when he arrived at Dragonstone stubs of countless arrows were embedded in his belly, and there was a scorpion bolt through his neck. Stormcloud died within the hour, hissing as the hot blood gushed black and smoking from his wounds. After Stormcloud's death, Aegon would never fly again.{{Ref|TWOIAF|The Targaryen Kings: Aegon II}}
