The entire cavern began to shake violently as the ground crackled slightly, a powerful pressure was emitted by the flames that surrounded the blood-soaked dragon eggs. Drakken was hunched over, clutching one of them as the flames got larger and brighter.
Maegelle took a step back as Mya got in front of her, "D-Drakken....!" She exclaimed, "This is....!"
Drakken was heard laughing, "Do you not feel it?!" He asked, "The power!"
Suddenly, the eggs were engulfed in what looked like a pitch-black aura, covering all of them and causing the flames to disappear.
Drakken stepped back as he held a single egg in his hand, covered in a thin film of black miasma, which emitted a bit of smoke. All of those who were present could feel the strange feeling that was emitted by the egg, a cold feeling creeping up on them.
"What....?" Mya said with a frown, "This is different than the last ritual he used....."
Suddenly, a swirl of black energy erupted on the eggs that were on the platform, releasing a shockwave.
Saera stumbled as she covered Astoria's head, "Drakken!" She exclaimed, "What is this?!"
"Power." Drakken said, unfazed by the shockwave
Viserra had stumbled back but she tried to compose herself, "M-My Lord....!" She said, "What will this do....?"
The black swirl erupted into the ceiling as a pillar of black energy, breaking a hole through the cavern and shooting up into the sky. Drakken saw as it reached the clouds, and a bright red explosion erupted, resulting in dozens of bright projectiles flying out and scattering.
Maegelle noticed this as well, "T-The.....eggs...." She said as she held on Vaella tightly, "They're....."
The pillar of black energy disappeared, leaving an empty stone platform that was emitting a bit of smoke.
"I've multiplied them greatly...." Drakken said with a smirk, "And scattered them. As we speak, they will land somewhere with rich heat and energy and will hatch, bringing forth more dragons."
Saera looked at her, "More...."
"W-What was the purpose of this, Drakken?" Maegelle asked him, "You don't like the dragons that our Family uses...just wh-"
"Food." Mya cut her off as she composed herself, "They're food."
"Food?" Maegelle frowned as Vaella was still covering her ears, "For the Cannibal?"
Mya nodded, "Yes." She said, "Dragon flesh is limited nowadays. The only dragons worth eating belong to your Family and consuming them would cause trouble that Lord Drakken does not want to deal with. This will provide more wild dragons which the Cannibal would feast on, fixing that issue. But....."
Drakken looked at the Dragon Egg he was holding, a smirk on his face, "There is much more to it than just that...." He said as the egg reverted to normal, "Soon, you will understand."
"Papa!" Astorias called, "I want dragon!"
Drakken gestured to the altar where the white egg was laying, "That is your beast, my dear." He said, "But it is not ready yet. You'll hatch it when the time comes."
"Yay!" Astorias said with a bright smile
"As for my Vaella...." Drakken said, "I will create one just for her. Don't worry, my sweet girl....you will not be left out...."
Vaella looked at him, "I don't want...."
Maegelle frowned, "What?" She said, "Vaella, don't be like that."
"They're loud...." Vaella said softly
Drakken smiled slightly, "I understand." He said, "When you grow up, you might change your mind. For now.....everything is done....I'll admit, that did take a bit out of me. I am glad I slept beforehand...."
Viserra was looking at Drakken, "I-Is that it, My Lord?" She asked, "Is my job done?"
Drakken gave her the egg, "Yes, Viserra." He said, "Well done. You have my gratitude, have this as a thanks."
"I....." She said as she took the egg, "But this....."
"Is that a problem?" Drakken asked her, "Do you not want a gift from your God?"
Viserra nodded, "Thank you, My Lord." She said softly, "I am glad to be of service."
Drakken placed his hand on her shoulder, "Do you see?" He asked, "You are useful to me. I will not allow you to be tainted by some Lord who does not know your true value."
"The Starks will not have you."
*************************
"What was that about?" Maegelle asked Drakken who had entered the room
Drakken raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean?"
It had been an hour after the Draconic Resonance, Drakken had returned Viserra back to King's Landing. He had returned to Harrenhal, entering his chambers where Maegelle and Mya were awaiting him. Saera was checking on the boys' training, which annoyed Riktor but Sylas had no issue with it.
After the event, the girls were taken to play in the gardens with the Maids, Mya had said she would join them soon.
Drakken walked to the couch and sat on it as Maegelle was giving him a frown.
"Drakken...." Maegelle said, "What is it with you and my sister?"
"Viserra?" Drakken asked while tilting his head, "Nothing, really."
"I noticed the way you looked at her." She said, "It's not nothing."
Drakken chuckled, "W-What are you talking about?" He said, a bit perplexed by the statement, "She's a servant of the Trinity, what do you want me to say? I am Viserra's god, that is all."
"Hm....." Mya said as she crossed her arms, "Princess Viserra is The Dragon Maiden, but that was an odd way of looking at her."
"What?" Drakken said with a slight smirk, "What odd way of look at-....Ah, I see what this is."
"What is it?" Maegelle asked
Drakken pointed at them both, "You're jealous." He said with a chuckle, "You're both jealous, haha....."
"Drakken...." Maegelle frowned
Mya rolled her eyes, "For crying out loud....."
"I cannot be nice to my Dragon Maiden?" Drakken asked, "The one person who is the most valuable member of the Trinity? My wives and children aside, Viserra is probably the most important person to me, as the God of War and Death."
"How do you mean?" Maegelle asked
"Her blood." Drakken said, "She is The Dragon Maiden, her blood is of great value to the Rituals that the Trinity does. That is all there is to it, Viserra is invaluable to me."
"That look in your eye says otherwise." Maegelle said, "I know that look.....you looked at me the same way....and Viserra....she returned it...."
Drakken frowned, "Don't say ridiculous things." He said, "If you both feel envious of Viserra for no damn reason....."
"Then how about I have you both right now?"
