🕑 Added 2025-07-30 06:33:07 +0000 UTC(Third Person POV)
Sylas and Daenerys were sitting on a bench, laughing at each other as Viserra stood to the side, supervising them.
"Haha....so that's what happened with you and your cousin..." Daenerys said, "I didn't think a Lannister would be so clumsy."
"Jaime is like that." Sylas chuckled, "He's a good lad."
They were speaking about some humorous incident that happened in Casterly Rock.
Riktor suddenly approached them, glancing at Viserra who quietly stood there, "Brother." He looked at Sylas, "You're here."
"Riktor." Sylas looked at him
Daenerys looked at him with a smile, "Lord Riktor, it is good to see you."
"Likewise, Princess." Riktor nodded, "Sylas, where is Father? Have you seen him? He's not with our Mothers."
He looked at Sylas immediately, coming off as dismissive to the Princess. Daenerys couldn't help but frown as this happened, but stayed quiet.
Sylas frowned, "I don't know." He said, noticing Daenerys's frown, "Why do you ask?"
Riktor turned around and walked awake, "I have to speak to him."
"Brother." Sylas called out
Riktor stopped and looked at him, "What is it?"
"What's with you?" Sylas asked, "Why must you brush off my betrothed that way?"
"Sylas, it is okay." Daenerys said with a worried frown, "There is no need to say anything."
Riktor glanced at Daenerys, "Hm." He said, "I didn't mean any disrespect, Princess."
As this happened, Astorias came into view, followed by Visenya who was holding a wooden sword in her hand.
"Brothers!" Astorias called out with a triumphant smirk, "I have a declaration!"
The two look at their sister, "Huh?" Sylas said with a confused frown, "What is it, Astorias?"
Astorias had her wooden pole leaning against her shoulder as she closed her eyes and pointed at her face with her thumb, "I will train to get stronger and become a better fighter than the two of you." She said with a smug tone, "And I will beat Riktor up a lot."
Riktor narrowed his eyes, "You? Get stronger than us?"
Sylas smiled slightly, "That's quite the declaration, sister." He said, "That's actually cute."
She opened her eyes and glared at him, "It's not cute!" She shouted, "I am serious!!"
Visenya nodded, "The Princess speaks truly." She said, "She does want to become a better fighter."
Sylas and Riktor looked at each other, the previous topic suddenly leaving their minds. Even Daenerys was intrigued by the new topic, one that she didn't think would be brought up.
"Astorias....?" She said softly, "A warrior? Can that even be the case?"
Sylas looked at Astorias, "Sister, I admire that intent." He said, "But if you can grow to be as skilled as us using a weapon, what then? You can't possibly think you can still beat us without a Blessing of your own.....right?"
"What he means is that you'd still be a weak little girl." Riktor scowled, "Don't come here and make proclamations."
Astorias looked taken aback, "Blessing.....?"
Sylas looked at Riktor, "Riktor, that's not what I meant." He said, "She is strong, as a matter of fact. But our other abilities are what put us over here. That and she's a little girl at the moment. She's seven years younger than you. Five years younger than myself. Should she train for seven years.... What will that accomplish? Our gaps will still be the same. You'd be 21 and I'd be 19, with our Blessings possibly mastered and their power far greater than anything this world has ever seen."
Riktor looked at him, "That's one way to look at it."
Astorias scowled, a tear forming in her eyes, "You fucking pricks!!!!"
She turned around and stomped away angrily, huffing and puffing as she held back a sob.
Sylas looked at her, "Astorias! Wait, I am sorry!" He took a step forward, "I didn't mean to hurt your feelings!"
"Let her." Riktor said, "The faster reality sets for her, the better it will be for her."
Visenya looked at him, "You are quite the cruel older brother."
"When you've been harassed most of your life by that little devil, you'd understand why I act like this." Riktor crossed his arms, "I don't hate her or anything, I don't want her to get her hopes up, thinking she'll soon be on our level."
"And what level is that, My Lord?" Visenya asked, a cold gaze in her eyes while she said that last part with sarcasm, "Hm?"
"Demigods." Riktor said seriously
"She is your blood." Visenya said seriously, "Daughter of a God. She, too, is a Demigod."
"Unless she receives a Blessing, she will be inferior to us." Riktor said
Visenya narrowed her eyes, "Quite an intriguing way of thinking." She said, something stirring inside her mind, "Perhaps...we can prove you wrong."
"How's that going to happen?" Riktor asked
Visenya began to walk away, "When the day comes and she plants you on your arse, you will realize what I mean." She said seriously, "Riktor Drakkengard."
The last part was said coldly. The two brothers and Daenerys watched as the former Queen left their sights.
Sylas tilted his head, "What's her deal?"
"She's bored, probably." Riktor shrugged, "Not much to do after you come back to life and find out everything you knew is gone. Unlike her, Princess Daenerys still had her whole family at least."
"Hm." Sylas looked back at Daenerys, "I guess that is true."

[King's Landing]
Drakken sat in a dark and cold room as the door opened and two figures walked in.
His eyes were glowing in the shadows, staring right at the two guests, his dragon slits were a menacing sight.
Alyssa came into view, "M-My Lord?" She said, "We received a call...."
Daella walked up behind her, "W-What? D-Drakken...!"
Drakken waved his hand casually, closing the door behind them and locking it. He snapped his fingers, and a couple of candles lit up, lighting some of the room.
"Sit down." He said seriously, "We need to speak seriously. I mean no harm."
"No." Daella stepped back, "Please leave me be."
"I said what I said." Drakken said, his cold and serious voice was unsettling, "Sit."
Alyssa gulped, "Y-Yes..." She said, "Daella....sit.....let's hear him out."
"But.....Aella needs me." Daella said softly, "I didn't know it would be him who called us."
"Sister." Alyssa said, gently grabbing her wrist, "Please."
Alyssa knew not to provoke Drakken, his demeanor felt calm yet dangerous. This was something that she had to be wary.
Daella nodded slowly, "F-Fine...."
They both sat down in the chairs in front of the table.
Drakken didn't move an inch, "Twenty Years is a long time for you all." He said seriously, "A very long time."
"Yes....it is. I am a grown woman.....quite old, haha...." Alyssa said as she looked down, "Although I still feel young...."
"You have me to thank for that." He said seriously, "For a lot of things really. I don't have to say anything, do I?"
"No...." Daella said as she sat there, nervously, "You don't."
"It's over." He said seriously
Alyssa looked at him, "Huh?"
"Your Husbands." Drakken said, "They're free from my torment."
"W-What?" Daella said softly, "Y-You mean....?"
"I no longer wish to torment them." Drakken told them seriously, "They are free from my grasp. From now on, their fate is out of my hands. The same goes for anyone who is not Marked. Daella, that includes you."
Daella looked at him with surprise, "You mean.....?"
"Drakken, what does that mean?" Alyssa asked, "What do you mean? Are you going to do some-"
"I am not doing anything to either Aemon or Baelon." Drakken cut her off, "What happens to them happens to them. Just know that it is not my doing."
"But..." Alyssa said softly, "You said you'd protect him."
"From my torment. It is done. He is free." He said seriously, "But......there is one caveat."
"What is it?" Daella asked
Drakken looked at her, "Whatever happens to them......" He said seriously, "Is not my doing. And you will not blame me. Nor will you ask me for help. No deals. Nothing. Their Fate......is no longer my concern."
"Drakken...." Alyssa started, "What of.....?"
"If Baelon wants more kids, he can give you all the kids you want. and you? You still belong to me. So you'll be safe from anything." Drakken told her, "Daella isn't.....so whatever happens to her is still a risk. Unless she wishes to be Marked. But I doubt it."
"Daella..." Alyssa looked at her sister
"Is Aemon truly safe from you?" Daella asked, "Will you leave us alone??"
Drakken pulled out a scroll from his pocket and unrolled it, "I will give you all assurance...." He said seriously,
"The Divine Blood Pact."
