House of The Dragon-A God Amongst Men-Chapter 234: Targaryen Torment IV

(Third Person POV)

"A-Aghh..." Alysanne groaned in pain as blood poured from a gash on her forehead, "W-what...." freewebnøvel.com

Silverwing was writhing in pain as she let out a pained whimper, the spear had pierced her belly and hurt her badly. The crash after falling broke one of her legs and damaged her left wing. Blood was pouring from the spear wound and the she-dragon had broken some teeth during the fall.

Alysanne grabbed her head, "No..." She said, "Why.....would he...? He never....once...."

Suddenly, Drakken appeared a few meters away from the dragon, "What were you thinking?" He said as he slowly walked over, his cape flowing in the wing, "You'll plead for peace?! You'll casually fly your stupid dragon over to me?! I warned your children about what would happen!!!"

Alysanne's vision was blurry and her head was throbbing, "No...." She said, "If you hurt me.....my daughters...."

"Hmph." Drakken reached Silverwing's head, "Yea sure, they'll be sad or mad....but that doesn't mean your dragon will be unscathed. I know how much you Targaryens care for you stupid lizards."

He raised his foot up as the dragon looked at him with her eyes. Then in a quick motion, Drakken stomped on Silverwing's head, crushing it completely as blood and bones exploded outwards. The force of the stomp was so powerful that the ground cracked as well, instantly killing the dragon.

Alysanne widened her eyes, "N-No!!!"

"You think....." Drakken said as embers began to emit from his armor, "That this entire time, I could not kill any of your dragons?! All of you....you all lived....your dragons lived...because I allowed it!!!"

He lifted his hand up and his spear flew back into his hand, blood trailing in the air.

The Queen simply felt despair as her entire body trembled, tears forming in her eyes as she slumped over, completely defeated.

"No....." She said softly, "Drakken.....I....it was not our intention....your mistress....I am sorry...."

"It is too late for apologies." Drakken told her, "You stupid woman."

Alysanne tried to undo the straps as Drakken stood there, glaring at her.

"T-The Red Cult...." She said, "It was them...!"

"Yet you made a deal with them." Drakken raised his arm up

Alysanne appeared in front of him as he clutched her by the throat, squeezing it hard as she gasped for air.

"N-No!" She managed, "W-Wait...!!"

"You wanted to kill me? Fine. But you've laid your hands on my women. That is unforgivable!!!" Drakken bellowed, "Suffer the consequences!!!

He then flung her to the side, throwing her to the ground. He walked over to Silverwing's corpse and placed his hand on the neck of the dead dragon. Alysanne then watched as Silverwing's entire body began to be sucked in to Drakken's hand, turning into black energy and swirling into his entire body.

"No...." She said

Drakken's entire body began to emit pressure after this happened, "You will learn...." He said seriously, "That my wrath is that of a god's!!! Watch as the entire Vale is reduced to nothing but as-"

"Asshai!!!" The Queen shouted

Drakken looked at her, "What?"

"T-The Red Cult..." Alysanne managed as she held her forehead, stopping the bleeding, "I-I was told that their religion originates from Asshai....."

Drakken walked over to her, "The Red Cult has influence all over Essos." He said as he stood over her, "What are you fucking talking about?"

"But Asshai is the source, so I've heard." She said, "If there is a god, he could be there...."

Drakken planted his spear on the ground and swooped his hand down to her dress, pulling her up, "Don't fuck around with me." He said with pure anger, "These Cultists, they're based there?!"

She nodded, "Y-Yes...." She said, "T-The Priestess told me she came from the Far East.....It is further east than YiTi, which is quite the way past the Free Cities...."

Drakken conjured up a map out of thin air and dropped her to her knees. He then slammed the map down on the ground in front of her, grabbing her by the back of her neck and bent her over.

"Point." He said, "This map is of the Known World. Point!! Now!!!"

Alysanne grimaced in pain, "F-Fine...."

She managed to point her finger at where Asshai was located, further than Yiti and towards the Shadowlands.

"Tch...!!" Drakken let go of her, "What is your ploy, Queen?!"

"If you are to blame someone....blame them...." She managed, her face covered in blood, "If you're going to destroy.....destroy them...."

"You dealt with them!!!" Drakken bellowed, "You all are at fault, you're no different!!"

"This is the deal I am willing to make!!" Alysanne shouted, "Is it so wrong to protect my people?! My Family?! If Jaehaerys won't make a final deal with you, then I will!!"

Drakken knelt down and punched the ground, "YOU THINK THIS IS ENOUGH?!" He shouted, his voice distorted and shaking the air, "My son was left without her birth mother!!! What am I to do?!"

Alysanne gulped, "I-I cannot replace her..." She said softly, "And I do not want to hand over more daughters....but...."

Drakken clutched her by the cheek as his helm slowly disappeared, revealing his face, distorted by anger. Alysanne grimaced in pain as Drakken's hand began to glow and her entire body became healed, her wounds disappearing.

"What are you willing to do?" Drakken said, his eyes glowing brightly, "Hmm?"

Alysanne's eyes were full of tears, "I...I will not..." She said softly, "Please....anything but that....."

"Like you'll be able to satisfy me." Drakken let go of her and stepped away, "Hand over the Red Priestess and give me the head of Septon Barth."

"W-What?" She exclaimed, "Why Barth?!"

"Because killing him will send a message to the faith." He said as he looked at her, "Do you understand?"

"I...I cannot do that...." Alysanne said

"Very well." He said as he scowled, "Then the Vale suffers even more."

"Wait-" Alysanne said, but Drakken snapped his fingers

Suddenly, Alysanne was no longer in the Vale in front of Runestone.

She was in the King's Chambers, in King's Landing, in front of her children. She was kneeling on the floor with a shocked look on her face.

"M-Mother?!" Aemon said as he stood up, "W-What happened?!"

Alysanne began to tremble, "M-My dragon...." She said softly, "She's dead...."

Alyssa stood up, "What??"

"My Silverwing..." The Queen sobbed ass he trembled, "She's gone!!"

"Drakken killed her!!"

[Heart's Home]

"Unworthy....." Sol'Tyr said as Jon stood over several kneeling men, "All of these bodies are frail and weak.....unworthy!! I suppose I shall retreat back into Drakken's Calamity...." 

The massive construct of metal floated above the courtyard as Jon and several Duskguard Knights had rounded up House Corbray soldiers to offer to the Dragon as vessels. But none of them were worthy.

"My apologies, Great Lord of War..." Jon said, "None of them are suitable for you, it seems...."

Drakken suddenly crashed down from the sky, releasing a powerful shockwave that sent the kneeling men flying down.

"Sol'Tyr.....!!!" He said as he straightened up

"What is it?" The Glowing Orb said, "You seem agitated." 

Drakken looked at Jon, "Asshai."

"Asshai?" Jon said, "What of it?"

"What do you know of it?" He asked

"Not much...." Jon said, "Only that it is in Essos....that is about it."

"The Red Cult..." Drakken said, "They come from there, it seems."

"Hmm.....what do you intend to do?" Sol'Tyr asked

"I will destroy it." Drakken said seriously as he clenched his fists, "Jon, Sol'Tyr...you will handle things here! Mya will be in charge of making deals with the Crown. I will go and devastate Asshai....!!"

"I'm taking Grayle!!"
