What happened to Aerea really? She was at Valyria for a WHOLE year… with the black fool in’ dread, Balerion…

a) Blood magic / chimeric experiments gone wrong / possibly produced by the Doom itself / mutated Valyrian survivors?

b) The ‘blood of the dragon’ within her veins mutated and became a living thing / her genetics became fucked

c) Literally firewyrms / firewyrms have hands and faces, and voices, so sayeth Barth / possibly sapient race of beings

So which is it? What the fuck were those two even doing for a year?
