Chapter 157 - State of Crisis V

(Third Person POV)

[Dornish Marches, A Few Days Later...]

Drakken stood on a hill, looking around as an entire Dornish Army stood before him. He noticed that they held banners of all the Dornish Houses, including House Martell and House Dayne, whom he was the most interested in that day.

"Hm..." He said with a slight smirk, "These fools...."

He then saw three riders approaching him, bearing House Dayne's banners.

As they reached him, Drakken saw that one of them had a particular sword on them. He did not need anyone to tell him that it was the famous Dawn, House Dayne's ancestral sword. He could recognize it right away, which is strange considering that he has never met House Dayne or see that sword before.

The riders stopped before him and looked behind him, confused that nobody was behind him. They had expected the entirety of the Duskguard to be with him, but they were not there with him.

Lord Dayne looked at Drakken, "So you're Drakken..." He said, "Where is your army?"

"There is no need for an army." Drakken said as he crossed his arm, "Not when dealing with you lot."

Lord Dayne narrowed his eyes, "Hm.." He said, "The Essosi have been defeated. The Myrish and Tyroshi have been pushed back to the Narrow Sea and reports state that they have left the Stepstones. The Braavosi have been chased off by House Targaryen's dragons.....for all we know, the Conflict is now over..."

Drakken raised an eyebrow, "And.....?"

"And you still remain." Lord Dayne said, "You wish to cause more warring, more destruction?"

"Do not sit there on your horse and pretend like you did not partake in the conspiracy to take me out." Drakken said with a slight smirk, beginning to pace back and forth, "You and that woman, Elia, have sided with the Targaryens. And while I already punished them, I have not done so with you.....so tell me, Dayne, what is it you wish for me to do?"

"I want you to call your Duskguard and tell them to retreat." Lord Dayne said, "There is no need to continue the bloodshed; we can end this peacefully."

Drakken scoffed, "You dare assume that I would willingly do that?"

"Lord Baratheon and Lord Arryn were mysteriously killed in battle." Lord Dayne said, "King Jaehaerys is not happy about that."

"What do you want me to do about that?" Drakken shrugged

"There is no need to further the conflict. You violated your promise of peace, you will eventually drive the other Great Houses to act." Lord Dayne said, "End this."

Drakken smirked and looked at him, "Act, you say?" He said, "That does sound interesting. I would love for this War to continue, but the thing is.....you are right.....there is no need to further the conflict...can you feel it? The chaos in the air....."

Drakken closed his eyes and inhaled through his nose, a smirk on his face as he extended his arms outwards.

"What...." Lord Dayne said

"Chaos has integrated itself into the air nicely...." Drakken said as he opened his eyes, "Ah, you would not understand. I am satisfied, I am merely here to give you imbeciles a warning. Turn around and fuck off. Or all of you will be slaughtered."

"We made a pact with House Targaryen." Lord Dayne said, "I am afraid that I only follow the King's orders."

"What a shame..." Drakken said as he swiped his fingers

Suddenly, the rider next to him lost his head, it fell off as his body slouched over the horse.

"What?!" Lord Dayne exclaimed

"Last warning." Drakken said, "How many men do you have? 5,000? 7,000? How many heads am I going to send to King's Landing and Dorne.....?"

Lord Dayne glared at him, "You wish to further bring about bloodshed?" He asked, "You.....fiend....!"

A dark aura began to engulf Drakken as his eyes glowed brightly, the sclera of his eyes turning pitch black.

"My will is absolute." Drakken said with a vicious smirk, Grayle's wings sprouting on his back, "I am Chaos, I am Undying, I am The End."

His wings extended outwards, releasing a powerful shockwave that toppled the men on their horses over. His wings suddenly developed webbings which dragons and wyverns normally have on them, emitting static electricity.

Lord Dayne go to his knees, "W-What is that....?"

Apart from the wings, dark grey scales began to appear on Drakken's face, covering his cheeks and above his eyes as they emitted steam. He lifted his hand up to reveal that the scales were appearing on them as well, sharp claws on his fingers.

"What gods do you worship?" Drakken said with a menacing tone, "Are they like me?"

"A Dragon God?"

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

Jaehaerys landed Vermithor atop the hill, which overlooked the burning remains of the Dornish army, smoke and flames covering the massive field.

"By the gods..." He said with a grim look on his face

He did not think twice about it and dismounted his dragon, landing on the hill and walking over to Drakken, who sat on what looked like a large throne made out of molten stone. ƒrēenovelkiss.com

Drakken, whose eyes were glowing, merely smirked as he looked at Jaehaerys.

"Well well well...." He said, "Look who came...."

Jaehaerys stopped several meters away from him, "Enough is enough, Drakken. You had your fill." He said as he placed his hand on Blackfyre, "The Essosi have been defeated....there is no need to further this bloodshed...you went ahead and butchered these Dornish....I will have to deal with this in the long run...."

Drakken tilted his head, "Ho?"

"My House has been punished, the deaths of my sister and grandson laid a heavy blow to us." Jaehaerys said, "Aemon still mourns.....and....the news of Rodrik have reached Daella's ears....she is distraught."

"Hm." Drakken said

"There was no need to murder him." Jaehaerys said, "He did nothing-"

"I fucked your daughter." Drakken cut him off

"What?" Jaehaerys said, a look of surprise

"All that Rodrik shit aside, there's more important things to discuss...ehehe...." Drakken said as he stood up, "Maegelle....my sweet and beautiful Maegelle.....well.....saying that I fucked her is too rude.....I made love to her.....amazing love...."

The King stood there, not knowing how to react to this sudden news.

Drakken walked over to him, "Do you understand what that means, Jaehaerys?" He asked, "Someone whom I told I would be patient for...I have finally had her.....the circumstances may seem a bit inappropriate....but for a God like myself, a God of War.....the circumstances were perfect...to feel the warmth of her body while the thrill of battle was still fresh in my mind.....oh, it was amazing, simply magnificent..."

"You...." Jaehaerys said as Drakken circled him

"She loves me, Jaehaerys." Drakken smirked wickedly, "Those exact words came right out of her mouth...and she did not lie....they were genuine....."

Jaeharys stood there, not saying another word.

"Soon..." Drakken said as he stood behind him, "A child will be put inside her....."

"And our bloodlines will be mixed, Jaehaerys...."
