🕑 Added 2025-08-18 18:08:25 +0000 UTC(Third Person POV)
Everyone present felt a strange feeling within their bodies, their marks beginning to glow as their bodies pulsated with power.
"W-what is this feeling?" a man said as he looked at his arms, "It feels like energy is surging through me. Like I am suddenly well-rested!"
Ezra and Drakken turned around to see that most of the crowd began to emit a glow of light as another shockwave erupted from the flames.
Ezra, too, felt a strange sensation in his body, "It's happening...." He said with a smile, "The Draconic Resonance....the Dragon Ritual was successful!"
He got to his knees and lifted his arms, gesturing at Drakken as he had a smile on his face. As he did this, everyone in the crowd did the same, getting on their knees as the Draconic Resonance began to take full effect.
"Hail Lord Drakken" They all began to chant as their bodies began to be filled with invigorating energy, "Hail Princess Viserra, O, Hail Lord Drakken...."
Drakken said no words, he simply stood there as yet another shockwave erupted from the flames. He felt the change within their Marks, the Resonance was doing its intended purpose; giving them more energy and invigorating them completely.
He didn't need anyone to tell him that it was a success; he could tell right away.
"It is done." Drakken said to Ezra, "Wait till the flames die out and the blood dissipates. I am leaving."
Drakken disappeared along with Viserra in his arms, leaving them alone.
Ezra then stood up and watched the flames burn brightly, the light reflecting from his eyes. His heart was beating from excitement.
"It's going to happen." He said with a smile, "I know it will. My dreams did not lie, it will happen."
He turned around and watched as most of the people were looking up at the altar, seeing that he was standing there with his scar beginning to give off a glow, the one on his face.
He raised his arms to the air, "I have a prophecy to share with you all! A dream that I have had for multiple nights!!" He said, "I dreamt it; after the Dragon Ritual is complete, the Aenar will be born! And he will be the Trinity's most powerful follower! He will be the cause of an Essosi's settlement being destroyed!!"
There were murmurs among the crowd as he said this, both in confusion and concern. Ezra noticed this reaction and couldn't help but smile.
"Do you understand what this means??" He said, "Lord Riktor! Lord Sylas! Princess Astorias! Yes, we will have these powerful individuals of House Drakkengard, born for the chaos that is the Battlefield! But the Aenar! The Drakkengard, who will be the Trinity's best influence, will be the one whom our enemies must be careful about!
The crowd began to murmur as the final shockwave erupted from the flames, the blood and flames slowly dying out.
Ezra continued, "The Great War will soon befall upon the world." He said with a smile, "And from the flames of the War...."
"A new world is promised!"

Drakken lay Viserra on her bed, gently patting her head as the Princess was asleep. Almost immediately, Drakken had restored the blood in her body, but despite that, she had fallen asleep.
Now, the God of War and Death stood back and looked at her sleeping face, "Hm....." Drakken said before letting out a sigh, "It is done now."
"Yes. It is." He heard a voice say
He turned to see Maegelle walking up to him, a concerned look on her face as she looked at Viserra.
"Maegelle." Drakken said seriously
"Will she be okay?" Maegelle stood next to him, "My dear and beloved sister....?"
Drakken nodded, "She'll be fine." He said, "I won't let anything happen to her. I promise."
Maegelle looked up at him, "Do you love her?"
Drakken looked at her, "Huh?"
"I know, Drakken, the things the two of you do." Maegelle grabbed his hand, "I....I know. But I don't have a problem with it. As long as you don't hurt my sister, it is fine. But I need to know, do you love her?"
Drakken's face hardened, "Is it appropriate to ask me that right now?"
"Yes." Maegelle said, "I am your wife. I deserve to know."
"I care for her, yes." Drakken told her without hesitation, "She sees me as one of the three things I am."
"And what is that?" Maegelle asked her
"A God." Drakken told her, "The Trinity isn't just Me, Thanatos, and Sol'Tyr. It's much more. Within me, I am three aspects combined. Am I just a Man? Am I just a Monster? Or am I just a God? If I am all three, what came first? Obviously, it wasn't the God since it took me a bit to ascend. But to Viserra, it doesn't matter. The God is what she witnessed first and that is what she sees me as. She doesn't see a Monster, she doesn't see a Man.....she sees her God whom she adores with all her heart. She reminds me of you.....when you were a Septa..."
Maegelle looked down, "That was so long ago....." She said softly, "I have not prayed in such a long time, Drakken....."
"And if you are to pray, it wouldn't be to me." Drakken told her
"Because I don't need to pray to you." Maegelle told him, "You are my husband. The man I love. The-"
Drakken placed her finger on her lips, "You asked me if I love your sister." He said softly as he wrapped his arm around her waist, "I do care about her. I am fond of Viserra, that much is true. But you know who I look like that, Maegelle. Who is it that I told those words to? Hm?"
"Drakken....." Maegelle said
Drakken kissed her cheek, "I want another one."
She blushed, "W-What?"
"After the Dragon Ritual, The Aenar will be born. And soon, he will be responsible for an Essosi settlement being destroyed." Drakken explained, "That is the prophecy I was given."
"So how about we make our little Aenar?"
