(Drakken's POV)
"They are going to make a move." Jon told , "I am sure of it."
"I know." I said with a slight smirk, "It is exciting, isn't it?"
We were outside the Castle, at the edge of the property. After the two days of contemplating, Queen Alysanne suddenly left, feeling defeated. I knew that if I gave her two near-impossible options, she would get frustrated and leave.
I am tired of making deals, I was not going to give them a sliver of hope by healing Balerion. Not like it makes any difference to .
"House Martell and House Dayne have t with the King." He continued, "My guess is that Dorne did not enjoy the tax you gave them."
"Hmph." I said, "Well well.....isn't Oren returned?"
"So it seems." He said, "But he is no condition to lead. His sister is still in charge."
"Good." I said as I crossed my arms, "What is next?"
"Corlys is currently crossing the sea as we speak." He said, "Everything is going as planned. He has the Sword."
"Alright." I said, "With that in mind, try to send n to retrieve the sword."
"My Lord?" He said
"Take the sword from him." I said with a frown, "It's not hard to understand."
"R-Right...." He said, "Of course. Well....is it true?"
"What is?" I asked
"The Sword...." He said, "Is it a weapon capable of harmin-"
"I will not answer that." I said, turning around and walking away, "Get it done."
As I walked away, I noticed that Mya was walking towards with a slight smile on her face.
"What is it with you?" I asked as I reached her, "A smile?"
"My Lord, the Eggs are moving." She said, "It is happening."
I raised my eyebrow, "Oh, I forgot about them." I said, "Is Riktor's dragon about to hatch?"
She nodded, "Yes." She said, "It is a most joyous day. He is excited, he wants you to join him to watch it happen."
I nodded, "Very well." I said, "Have Daranne and Sylas join us. Maegelle too."
She looked past , "What is going on?"
"Oh this? Corlys Velaryon is crossing the Narrow Sea with an enchanted sword." I said with a shrug, "And the King is conspiring against . Nothing new."
"Is it sothing we should concern ourselves with?" She asked
"No." I said, "It is all going as planned. So excitent in the world is needed."
*********
"Father! Father!" Riktor shouted with joy, "It's happening!!"
He was jumping around in front of the large shrine where the eggs laid, large red mbranes connected to them as they glowed brightly.
"Calm down." I said with my arms crossed
Daranne hugged my arm with one of hers as she held Sylas in her other, "A new dragon hatches...." She said, "I wonder what it will look like."
"Just like the Targaryens' but this one is stronger and different." I said with a shrug
I noticed that the black egg was moving, a pulsating light emitting briefly from it. It was a long ti since Riktor told how he wanted his dragon and I used my powers to modify it while it was in the Egg.
"Is this sothing you are used to, Maegelle?" I heard Mya ask, "Your Family has the dragon hatching tradition."
"No." She said, "I have not witnessed dragons hatching. The only one of my siblings whose dragon hatched on the cradle was Aemon."
"What a stupid-looking one at that...." I muttered
"Father!" Riktor said, "Make it hatch faster!"
I raised my hand slightly, "Have patience."
He stopped and nodded, "Okay!"
The egg moved and suddenly it cracked from the top, steam pouring from it. The mont it did this, Riktor ran up to the shrine and stood in front of the egg, an excited look on his face.
"It's happening." I said with a slight smirk, "Easy, Riktor."
The egg then burst open and the small snout of a wyvern popped through, a loud shriek was heard.
"Whoa!" Riktor said, taken aback and pulling away, "L-Loud...."
Then, the egg completely shattered, and a black wyvern-dragon crawled down the shrine and onto the cavern floor. It was black in color with red tiger stripes. Its eyes were blood-red, glowing brightly. It's head was strange, it reminded of that one dinosaur from back in Infernis, the Tyrant one.
"My dragon!" Riktor shouted excitedly as he stood next to the hatchling
The wyvern shook its head and let out a vicious growl as it looked around.
"What....what a creature..." Daranne said, "Looking at it makes uneasy...."
"Beautiful..." Mya said
"It looks like a dragon from our Family...but sothing about it is strange...." Maegelle said
The hatchling began to crawl around Riktor who stood there, a bright smile on his face. It sniffed his legs and hands before nudging against him, nearly toppling him.
"R-Riktor!" Mya said
"Relax." I said, "The beast won't hurt him."
Riktor crouched down and hugged its neck, "My dragon!" He said, "Can I na him, Father?"
"Sure." I said
"Brutus!!" He said
I raised an eyebrow, "That quick?" I said, "Alright."
"Brutus, The Pinnacle of Power!!" Riktor said
The beast opened its maw and let out a loud roar, shaking the cavern in its entirety.
"W-What?!" Maegelle said as she covered her ears, "L-Lord Drakken!"
"Hm." I said as I snapped my fingers and the roaring stopped, "It's quite powerful. Appropriate for my son."
"Good."

(Third Person POV)
[Narrow Sea]
On the ship that Corlys Velaryon commanded, the maddened lord stood at the far end of the deck, holding a longsword in his hand that was covered in light blue runes.
He lifted the sword in front of him and rely scowled, "Drakken...." He said, "My vengeance is upon you!!!"
"Lord Corlys!!!" one of his n shouted as a loud roar was heard
Corlys looked up to see Caraxes flying towards him from the sky, the figure of Prince Aemon was visible atop him.
"What now?" Corlys said as Caraxes circled the ship a couple dozen ters above them, "Prince Aemon!!"
Caraxes then landed hard atop the ship, nearly toppling it. The weight of Caraxes was surprisingly taken well by the massive ship that Corlys had.
Corlys readied the sword as he looked up at the snarling face of Caraxes.
"Corlys Velaryon...." Prince Aemon announced, "I hear you are trying to return to Westeros....after what you have done, do you truly think you will be accepted?"
"You do not understand, Aemon!!!" Corlys scowled, "I have been cursed by Drakken!!! He made do all of this!!!"
"Is that so?" Aemon said as the entire ship swayed, "And what is it you want now?"
"A pardon!" Corlys said, "Although, it is not my fault!!"
"In exchange for what?" Aemon asked
"Drakken's death." Corlys said, "This sword....it is the key to his defeat!!"
"Is that so?" Aemon raised his eyebrow, "And how can you be so sure?"
"By holding it...." Corlys said, "You can see it....you can see beyond.....beyond the skies, the heavens, beyond the stars themselves!!!"
"The Sword is fueled by sothing much bigger than ourselves!!"
