(Drakken’s POV)
"Years of servitude." Maegor told as he stood in front of his dragon, "Years of servitude and what do I get?! Nothing!!"
I nodded at the grey beast behind him, "That says otherwise."
"I’ve done all you’ve told , Drakken." He said with an angry scowl, "I’ve crushed the Faith for you!"
"Barely"
"I’ve crushed the Red Cult in Dorne for you!!!"
"Took too long."
"I burned filth who preyed on children and brought you the ashes myself! The Prison wouldn’t be standing if I didn’t force those fuckers to work!"
"Okay, I’ll give you that one." I said with a smirk, "And because of that, you are still breathing. You see, you were ant to be a Vessel. But Sol’Tyr rejected you. So I have nothing else for you. I don’t need you. You need , however. And I do keep my word, Maegor. I will reward you."
He scowled even more, "Tch...."
I paced back and forth, "There is one thing for you to do now." I told him, "You’re heading East."
"East?" He asked
"Essos." I said
"What for?" He asked
"Expand the influence of House Drakkengard." I told him, "You will act as my emissary of destruction. You will target the Red Cult that remains there. Since the obliteration of Asshai, the roaches have scattered about."
"And you want to squash them." He said
"That’s right." I nodded, "Over the years, they’ve gathered strength and confidence to try and influence others. I want them destroyed. I will send a detachnt of 2,000 Duskguard to aid you. You will lead them however you wish. Follow the tenets, of course."
"Fine." Maegor said, "How long am I supposed to be doing this?"
"As long as I feel like having you there." I said as I stopped and looked at him, "Could be years, could be more. It doesn’t matter. You will do as I say or I send you back to the void. You don’t want that, do you?"
He gave a nacing glare but didn’t say anything. The dragon behind him was motionless but staring right at . It was almost as large as Dreamfyre and a similar appearance to that one save this one had dark markings on its spikes and horns. Its eyes were also dark purple and it had a cold stare to it.
Maegor didn’t say anything; he simply glared at . He knew that despite everything, I have all the power to dismantle whatever he would try. That is the only reason why he hasn’t tried anything.
I had already told Sol’Tyr that if he doesn’t find a vessel soon and Maegor becos too unruly, I would force the two of them to rge. Sol’Tyr would have no choice but to have him as a vessel.
Now that I think about it, the two of them have been quiet as of late; Thanatos and Sol’Tyr.
I wonder what that’s about.
"Worry not." I told Maegor as I extended arm forwards and summoned an urn in front of , "Here’s your reward."
He widened his eyes, "Wait....!"
The urn was that of a Targaryen one: black and red with the sigil on it. Had a bit of dust on it when I received it.
"I had Jaehaerys hand her ashes over." I said with a smirk, "After the little favor I did for him, making Alysanne a bit younger, he was more than willing. Just kidding, I threatened Vaegon who was annoying ."
"You have her, then." Maegor said
"Do as your told." I said, "And when I deem your assignnt complete, I will bring her back and gift the two of you a small Keep next to Harrenhal in which you can retire to. You were once a King, after all. And her? Well....."
"Is this a promise?" Maegor asked
"I do keep my word." I said as I lowered the urn, "Sotis. Most of my tis. I am curious to see what this would cause; bringing her back. So I will definitely want to do this."
"Fine." He said, "I will do it. When can I start?"
"The detachnt is getting ready as we speak. The Lannisters gave us a bit of their fleet and the Duskguard Knights along with proper sailors that Tyland provided, will take off soon." I said, "You will cross the Narrow Sea when they’re close to arriving."
"Fine." He said again
"Oh, by the way." I said, "There is sothing you should know."
"What is it?" He asked
"Rumors of grown dragons are circulating about in Essos." I told him, "Keep an eye out."
"Are these the sa dragons you created?" He asked, "In that strange ritual?"
"Yes but do keep an eye out still." I told him, "It could pose a problem."
"I care not for them. I am an experienced dragonrider who can handle a wild dragon." He said
"Ah but here’s the kicker." I smirked, "More rumors have risen.....you’ll love this one."
He narrowed his eyes, "What is it?"
"More Dragonlords." I said
"You’re joking." He said, "What do you an? Bastard descendants of my nephews or brother?"
"Oh no." I chuckled, "A different Dragonlord Family altogether. Or so the rumors say."
"Impossible." He said, "House Targaryen is the only surviving Dragonlord family. Unless....."
"What is it?" I raised an eyebrow
"During my exile back when Aenys was alive....." Maegor said, "I heard so whispers in the Free City about a man who looked like , save he was a bit more kind and approachable. I thought it to be a bastard cunt of a Celtigar or a Velaryon at first but people claid this one was special."
"Special?" I asked
"I thought it was horse shite." He said, "But they said he had blood similar to House Targaryen. You see, I had Balerion at the ti and many told that I would he careful with him. They told that Balerion could be chard. I didn’t believe any of it and even cut so tongues for that."
"I believe it." I said
"Well, I never t the cunt." Maegor said seriously, "But people were adamant he was real."
"So you’re saying this man was more than likely one of those surviving Dragonlords?" I asked him
"If what they said was true, yes." He said, "But I find it strange that they spend more than a century hidden and out of sight."
"They didn’t have dragons." I told him,
"They had no power until now."
