How Daemon’s song to Vermithor came into being

The song Daemon Targaryen sings to soothe down the dragon Vermithor is one of the most enduring High Valyrian scenes from Season 1 of House of The Dragon. Peterson, who wrote the song, said in an interview:

“This is the song Daemon is singing. Ti [Mikkel] wrote the original English lyrics, which were three stanzas. I made sure they worked in Valyrian and added a fourth stanza to help clean things up, as more words were required to get the meaning that was packed into the original English. It was nice to hear it sung so clearly!”
