🕑 Added 2025-07-14 05:22:15 +0000 UTC(Drakken's POV)
"Hey." I told Maegelle as I appeared next to her while she sat next to Daella, "It's been long enough. We should get going, have you packed your things?"
Maegelle jumped up in surprise, as well as Daella, "Drakken!" She exclaimed, "Don't startle me like that!"
I reached down and patted her belly, "Ah, you're fine." I said with a slight smirk, "Don't worry....."
She patted my hand, "I was in the middle of a private conversation with Daella." She said, "Would you mind?"
I straightened up and turned around, walking towards the table, "Ah, yes...." I said, "I could not help but overhear. You were discussing whether or not I am responsible for Daella's accident. Apparently, Aemon blames me. As usual. It is quite something. For every single misdeed, I am blamed. No matter how small or big, should something were to happen to your family, I am the root cause of it. Heh, reminds me of him. Everyone blamed him for everything bad that had happened.....Luci-...Hmm.....nevermind....names have power."
"Drakken...." I heard Maegelle say
"Sister....." Daella started, "I...I don't feel comfortable discussing what-"
"It wasn't me, Daella." I turned to look at her, "I didn't do anything to hurt you then."
Daella looked at me, "I....."
"Simply because I have the power to prevent tragedies, it doesn't mean that I am causing them." I said as I leaned on the table, "Daella, I am sorry that you went through such a tragedy. You see, it is not something I wish on my wives, especially the sister who sits next to you. But there is nothing that could be done, sweet Daella. Aemon went and begged, he wanted me to bring your child back.....and I did what I did to him. I was angry at him....and I still am."
"You cursed him with infertility." She said softly
"Drakken...." Maegelle said with a serious frown, "Why would you do that?"
I looked at my wife, "What do you think?"
"You...." She said, "I would like to say that you need to get over it...but you will never...."
"I don't understand you, Drakken." Daella said softly as she stood up, "H-How can you be this heartless? What could have possibly happen to you for you to end up a monster like this? From the moment that I've met you, you have been nothing but a dark cloud over House Targaryen, looming over us....and threatening us with torment and chaos.....who hurt you?"
I looked at her with a serious expression, contemplating what I wanted to say.
"Sister...." Maegelle said, "Don't...."
"I want to know!" Daella exclaimed, "I want to know what could have happened for someone like this.....to be such a monster! You have such power, unimaginable power....power to shape the world, to help it, to improve it! But you choose to torment it, you choose to curse it, you choose to destroy it!! So I ask you, what happened?!"
This was such a surprising scene; seeing Daella acting this way.
I sighed as I looked up at the ceiling, "Sweet Flower....." I said, "None of you would understand."
"What?" She asked, "What do you mean?"
I looked at her and gave her a slight smirk, "Nothing happened to me." I told her, "I was simply born this way. I killed my Mother, clawing my way through her belly, and ate her flesh to survive. From the moment that I was born, I was fated to curse the world with Chaos.....and when Fate brought me to your world in a star, everything and everyone would be destined to be destroyed by me."
"Drakken!" Maegelle stood up, "Don't you dare lie! What you said, it is not-"
"Quiet Maegelle." I said as I looked at Daella, "She wanted to know."
"You......" Daella said as she scowled angrily, an expression I was not used to from her, "You are cruel.....cold-blooded......I cannot believe I ever gave myself to you...."
I walked up to her, "My Dear....." I said, "You have no idea what I am. I stain the world red with blood, fill the rivers with blood, and drink from them. I make foolish mortals fear the shadows......but I suppose I have not tried enough in this place to achieve that."
Maegelle walked up to me, "Enough." She said as she pulled on my arm, "Leave her be, Drakken. Just leave it."
I reached for Daella's cheek, "You want me to bring your child back?" I asked, "I'll do that, alright. I will bring back the fetus and mutate it to become a grotesque draconic beast which will call you 'Mama', is that what you want from me?"
Daella glared at me, tears forming in her eyes, "Don't touch me!" She smacked my hand away, "You....fucking beast!"
"Drakken!" Maegelle exclaimed, "Stop it!"
"The day will come when I decide to rip Aemon limb from limb, Daella." I said, "If you're going to hate me then, I might as well have you hate me now. So tell me, do you want me to destroy everything you hold dear?"
"Drakken!!" Maegelle said, "You're starting to get on my nerves!"
"You speak of resurrection...." Daella said coldly, "But where is the one you're throwing a tantrum for? Why haven't you brought Daranne Lannister back?"
My eye twitched, already expecting this response.
"Hehe...." I said, "Daranne? She's safe in her Tree. One day, I will bring her back. And you, Daella? I genuinely hope you're at peace with yourself. Because when the time comes that this world is on flames, as I've said to you already, you're going to beg me to help you. And what do you think I will say? Take a guess."
"I'd rather rot in the Seven Hells than beg to you for help." Daella said as her lips quivered, tears forming on her eyes, "I hate you. I despise everything you stand for. It wounds my heart deeply that my sisters love you....and I hate that I still love them with my whole heart....................I hate it here.....Drakken.....please....."
"J-Just kill me....."
