House of The Dragon-A God Amongst Men-Chapter 291: Chaos In The Night II

(Third Person POV)

"Prince Baelon! Ser Ryam!" A Knight called out as several soldiers rushed past him, "This is ridiculous!! A madman has burst out of nowhere and is cutting down as many men as he can!!"

Baelon scowled as he dismounted his horse, "Just what is going on?" He said, "Ser Ryam....."

Ryam Redwyne dismounted his horse as well and drew his sword, "Stay alert, My Prince." He said, "This is quite serious."

Behind the Knight, they saw a bit of smoke and flames as the massive figure of a man emerged from an alley, holding a sword and shield.

Baelon narrowed his eyes, "It's not Drakken..." Baelon said, "Who is it?"

"I don't know if that is good or bad news...." Ryam said, "If it's not Drakken who is doing this, who else is capable of this?"

They both watched as the man immediately cut down two guards who rushed him, bashing his shield at one's face and sending him flying back as he let out a vicious grunt.

"You stupid filth!!!" Maegor bellowed, "You are all nothing....!!!!"

His eyes were a menacing sight; the sclera was pitch black, creating an unsettling effect when combined with the Targaryen Purple. There was something from his eyes that gave Baelon a cold chill even when standing a long distance away from him.

"W-Who is that?" Baelon said, "White hair....his eyes....they're strange...."

Maegor stabbed the man in the back, finishing him off as he let out a yell, "Arrghhh!!!!!" Maegor bellowed, "All you Faith Militant imbeciles will die!!"

Ryam stepped forward, "Prince Baelon, get ready." He said, "I have a very bad feeling about this...."

Baelon nodded, "Right....."

Maegor then spotted the two and spat on the ground, huffing through his nose, "You!!!!" He shouted, "You dare stand before me?!"

Ryam readied his sword, "And who might you be?"

Maegor noticed his armor and white cloak and scowled, "A Kingsguard...." He said, "Tch....you serve Jaehaerys, you filthy piece of shit?!"

"I serve His Grace, the King, yes." Ryam said, "And in his name, we will stop you."

Baelon drew Dark Sister and took a step forward, "Yes...."

Maegor immediately noticed the sword, narrowing his eyes, "That's...." He said with a glare, "My sword.....!!!"

Baelon frowned, "What?" He said, "What are you talking-"

With surprising speed, Maegor charged forwards, letting out a bone-chilling warcry. He reached Ryam and swung his shield forwards, bashing the Kingsguard with tremendous force. The impact was enough to send him reeling back.

"Guuh!" the Knight exclaimed

Maegor then spun around and swung his sword at Baelon, who dodged the swing with ease. The Prince then countered with a thrust but Maegor blocked with his shield. However, due to it being made of Valyrian Steel, Dark Sister pierced through the steel and nearly hit Maegor in the cheek.

"Tch..." Maegor said as he kicked Baelon in the chest, sending him reeling back

"W-Wha?" Baelon said

Maegor then followed up with a swing, forcing Baelon to block the blow. The impact of the clash was so strong that it rattled Baelon's bones.

"You filthy thief!!!" Maegor shouted, "Return my blade to me at once!!"

Baelon scowled, "This...." He said as he pivoted away, "Is my sword!"

He swung his sword at him and Maegor parried it with his own blade, suddenly bashing his shield at Baelon, striking him in the arm and sending him reeling again.

Maegor then stepped back to avoid Ryam's sword swing and countered with a thrust of his own. Ryam, however, was able to read the attack and simply dodged out of the way, getting a bit of distance between the two.

"My Prince!" Ryam said, "With me, we attack in a coordinated fashion!"

Baelon straightened up and circled back around to Ryam, "Right....."

"Prince?" Maegor frowned, "P-Prince?! You.....wait...white hair....purple eyes...you stupid little runt, you are Jaehaerys's boy?!"

"That is what a Prince is." Baeon frowned, "Who are you?"

Maegor glared at him, "Do you not have portraits of your previous Kings?!" He said, "I am the son of The Conqueror!!!"

Baelon widened his eyes, "What?!"

"Son of The Conqueror?" Ryam said, "That is impossible. There is no way you are Maegor Targaryen."

"It is I!!!" Maegor bellowed, "I have been brought back from the dead to destroy the Faith!!! And I will cut down anyone that gets in my way!!!"

Baelon readied a stance, "Is....is this Drakken's doing?" He asked, "If it is true...."

Maegor's eye twitched, "Drakken?" He said, "Is that the name of the God that summoned me?"

"Self-Proclaimed God...." Baelon said

Maegor smirked, "Well, you dumb cunt...." He said, "He truly must be one....if he brought me back to life...."

Ryam lunged forwards, pivoting to Maegor's left and thrusting his sword at him. Maegor blocked it with his shield, and the moment the sword came into contact, he swung his sword at him. Ryam stepped back and parried the blow immediately, causing Maegor to stumble slightly.

Baelon was already on Maegor when this happened and swung Dark Sister down fiercely. The former King of Westeros easily stepped back and hit Baelon with the nastiest shield bash, hitting him right in the chest and sending him flying.

Baelon fell to the ground, groaning in pain, "What the...."

"Careful, My Prince...." Ryam said, "If this is truly Maegor Targaryen, he would be incredibly formidable with extraordinary strength."

Maegor cracked his neck, "Hehe..." He said, "It truly is me.....and you ought to be careful, Kingsguard...."

"Or you'll lose your life....."

***************

Drakken walked through the Secret Gardens, making his way towards the gondola as he looked up into the sky, seeing the stars above.

"Drakken!!" A voice called out

He stopped and looked back, seeing that Alysanne was running towards him.

"What is it?" He asked

She stopped several meters away, seeing that he was holding her daughter's urn, "D-Does your cruelty know no bounds?" she asked, tears in her eyes, "You dare take her away from me too? M-My Daenerys?!"

Drakken smirked slightly, "On the contrary, Alysanne." He said, "I intend to give her back to you.....at a price, of course.'

"What?" Alysanne said, "What are you talking about?!"

Drakken chuckled, "For the longest time, I was weakened.....so weakened that I was unrecognizable. I mean, I did not have access to my personal Dragons nor my Wyverns....not for a long time. I had to resort to Blood Rituals and constant draining of magic, Alysanne...." He explained, "And here we are, nearly twenty years later....can you believe it? The first time we met....it was over ten years ago, wasn't it?"

"What does that have to do with my daughter?" Alysanne exclaimed

"When I proclaimed myself as the God of War and Death....I was not exaggerating." Drakken told her, "But the truth is....I am....and have always been....a Dragon God...."

He extended his left arm outwards and suddenly, a massive vortex of black swirling energy erupted, causing a vicious shockwave that nearly toppled Alysanne from her feet.

"W-What?" She exclaimed

She then heard the loud and familiar sound of a dragon's roar. She then saw that the swirling black energy shrunk and took the form of a dragon. And as the seconds passed, she saw the glint of silver scales reflecting the moonlight.

"N-No...." She said softly

She saw as Silverwing planted her wings around Drakken as she let out a rumble, her eyes staring directly at Alysanne.

"I am The Dragon God of War and Death." Drakken said, "That is my true title. I simply omit the Dragon part purely out of spite....for a certain individual....but the truth is.....The Death part has always been true!! I killed your precious dragon and assimilated her body into mine...and here she is...like she never left!"

Silverwing let out a roar that shook the air.

"W-What is your goal?!" Alysanne exclaimed

"Chaos." Drakken said, "Don't worry, there will be no war....not yet...."

"And my daughter's ashes?!" Alysanne asked, her lips trembling

"A bargaining chip." Drakken smirked, "I am going to show you that I am the God of Death.....and I will resurrect her like I resurrected Jocelyn Baratheon and Maegor Targaryen."

Alysanne widened her eyes, "Maegor?!"

"And when she is back...." Drakken said, "I will provide a choice for you....get on your knees and declare me as the True God..."

"Or I return your daughter to the void."
