A Legend Reborn

The awe-inspiring control Daenerys Targaryen exerted over her three dragons has left many fans of "Game of Thrones" spellbound and questioning the mechanics behind such a feat. Her dragons, Drogon, Rhaegal, and Viserion, were more than just fearsome beasts; they were her children, bound to her by a connection that transcended the ordinary.

This idea is supported by various instances in the series where her dragons seemed to respond to her unspoken distress.
