I narrowed my eyes, "Just what the hell is the meaning of this?" I said aloud, "Thanatos!"
The Cannibal's grotesque body began to tremble and the smoke began to spread throughout the floor. There was an tense pressure being released from its body which gave a chilling aura.
Then, the smoke began to take the shape of a dragon's head with glowing white eyes.
"Drakken….." Thanatos's voice was deep and resounding, "What is it you want?"
My eye twitched, "You fucking asshole." I said, "What the hell are you doing with The Cannibal?! He's the source of my Dragon Hearts."
"It is quite the specimen, this wyvern. It is specifically surviving off the flesh of dragons which causes the draconic magic to infuse in itsel." He said, "quite fascinating. It acts as an engi-"
"I know what it does." I cut him off, "I modified it years ago, get the fuck out of it. Now!!"
"It is a proper candidate for a Vessel." Thanatos said, "But I would rather be caught in the body of a human than inside a Wyvern."
"Then find yourself a proper human." I scowled, "The Cannibal is necessary for The Trinity, you've gone ahead and ruined the damned thing."
"Huma Vessel….." he said, "Perhaps the woman next to you would be willing to ste-"
"Mind what comes out of your mouth, you black-winged cunt." I glared at him, "Nobody lays a finger on my wives nor my children, not even you. So do yourself a favor, fuck off."
"Why would Lord Thanatos require a Vessel?" Mya asked, "I thought he was residing in The Dark Shade."
"I need to spread Death around the land and personally reap the souls of my enemies." Thanatos said, "It is my purpose. It is what I am made for."
"Shut up." I told him, "What you're doing here is stupid. I don't want you distorting every single dragon here simply because you want a vessel. Look at this thing! Its hideous!!"
"Which is why I am trying to shift it into a proper vessel, to make a True Dragon Body." He said, "Wyverns are weak and frail, they are not worthy of me."
I looked at Mya, "This is going to be a bigger problem." I said, "How many Dragon Hearts did we have?"
"Five." She said
"Dammit." I said, "To fix whatever this imbecile did, I might need to use one of them at least."
"Why? Can't you undo it?" She asked
"I can." I said, "But look at it. It grew an extra head, it has incomplete forelimbs that are not going to work. To fix it, I will have to remove that but judging by the way the black ether from my Calamity is coursing through it, it will be detrimental to it. I will need to split it and then repair the two halves, adding a Heart to the one that needs it."
"Oh." She said
"Precious material wasted because of this idiot." I scowled, "Thanatos, look for another vessel that doesn't interfere with my work. Stop trying to piss me off!"
"Anyone?" He asked
"As long as they're not part of House Drakkengard or important members of The Trinity." I told him
"Very well." He said as the smoke began to disperse, "I will not hear any complaints when I obtain my Vessel, then."
"I will seek the Dragon's Blood."

[The Following Day]
I walked outside the cave as the loud rumbling of the beast behind me was heard. There was sweat all over my face and I proceeded to wipe it off as I walked towards the tree where Mya was leaning at.
"That took some time." She said
"It did." I said, "It will adjust accordingly now. I want it back near Harrenhal. Both halves."
"As you wish." She said, "What will you do now?"
"What do you mean?" I asked her
"With both halves of it." She said with a raised eyebrow
"Oh, I guess we continue using it for Dragon Hearts." I told her
"Dragon flesh is going to be quite rare." She said, "Have you planned for that?"
"I have." I said with a slight smirk, "Don't you worry about that."
"Hm, I like the sound of that." She said as she walked up to me, "I can tell that you're about to do something terrible. It is quite like you, My Lord."
"Hm." I said as she wrapped her arms around me, "Is it?"
"Yes." She pressed herself against me, "What are your plans?"
I looked up to the sky, "Lately….." i said, "I feel like I have been…..soft. But I suppose with all the warring, all the death and destruction, a bit of quiet could come. And I know the question most will have; Why haven't I destroyed everything?"
"Sometimes I do wonder that myself." She said softly, "Then I remind myself that you always have your reasons. Or you don't, it doesn't really matter…..you are Chaos."
"What good is conquering all of this world and leaving my children without any fun?" I ssid as I ran my hand down her back, "Hm?"
"Oh." She said, "Well….that does make sense."
"How can our son prove himself in War if there are no wars to be fought?" I asked her, "Let these plebs have a semblance of hope, a small reason to spark conflict. When our boys become men, they will show the world that they are the sons of war."
She smiled, "You've….." she started, "Changed…..or perhaps….this was you the whole time."
"Hm." I said, "Bold statement."
There was nothing but silence now, the sounds of the forest was all we could hear. The beasts inside were now quelled and we were standing there, alone.
"How time flies…." She patted my cheek, "Standing here….with you…..reminds me of how we first met."
"You slit my throat." I chuckled, "Quite the first impression. From that moment, I took a liking to you."
"I am proud to be your woman." She said, "And I vow, My Lord, that I will forever serve you."
"No matter what."
