(Drakken's POV)
I stood on the hill, overlooking the hundreds of bodies that lay on the field in front of us, "Hm...." I said as I crossed my arms, "So this is what remains?"
These were the remains of the Knights of The Vale; those that tried marching towards my army. My Duskguard had t them in battle and obviously obliterated them with ease. Those that were Blessed made quick work of them and I was sure of it.
"Yes, My Lord." Jon Rivers said, "I have sent ssengers to tell Lord Arryn's forces to stand down as you commanded. You are about to issue a ceasefire."
I nodded, "That is correct."
"So much....death....." I heard Maegelle say
I looked at her, she stood behind us, holding her forr Septa clothes in her hands. She was wearing a black dress and her hair was neatly combed into a ponytail. Her face was bare, which was still beautiful, despite not having any makeup and she wore no jewelry. Her attire was simple but it was more than enough to highlight the beauty that was her.
"Such is war." I told her as I gestured her forth, "Co."
She gulped slightly and walked over, "Right...."
"As much as I hate to suddenly stop this crusade.....to traverse across the lands and lay ruin and destruction, I am a reasonable god." I said as I grabbed the clothes from her hands, "I've defeated all of those that your Father have sent, even chased him away atop his dragon. I have proved to not just him but the rest of the realm that I am not soone to anger. My power is so great that I have already struck fear in their hearts."
She looked at , her eyes had a simple sadness to them, "Hm...."
I knew she was judging silently with that stare of hers. Those eyes, they were carefully scanning and they were scanning thoroughly.
"But..." I said, "There is no reason for to just end everything. I don't find any use of a destroyed playground."
"The Realm, the lives of the innocents, everything else, they are just playthings to you?" She asked with a frown
"That is correct." I said as I tossed the Septa clothes down on the ground, "But enough about . It is ti for you to take the next step. You are no longer a Septa of the Faith. You are now mine, a subject of the Trinity."
"The Trinity?" She asked
I snapped my fingers and her clothes set ablaze, the flas flickering rapidly as the embers crackled. She was taken aback by this and stepped back a few steps in response.
"With the Battlefield full of dead as witnesses, you are to forsake the Seven by setting these belongings ablaze." I said as I looked at the burning clothes, "You will not be taken into our order, the true Order; The Trinity. The Dragon of War, Sol'Tyr.....the Dragon of Death, Thanatos.....and The Dragon God that unites their concepts together, Drakken...That is the Trinity."
I raised my hand up and the flas got bigger and hotter.
"I...." She said before looking at the flas
"Fire and Blood, hm?" I said with a slight smirk, "Give your hand."
She reluctantly did as I said, "Okay..."
I took her hand gently and tapped my finger on the tip of hers, pricking it slightly and causing blood to pour out slowly.
"Ah..." she winced
I rubbed the drop of blood off her finger with my thumb and held my hand over the flas, watching as the blood began to boil and get heated.
"What are you doing?" Maegelle asked
I then placed that thumb on her neck and rubbed it across, causing her to flinch due to the heat of the blood.
"Blessing of The Trinity"
I watched as a mark appeared on the side of her neck, glowing bright red as she closed her eyes in response, her breathing becoming labored due to the anxiety caused by this. I could understand that she was not comfortable with this.
I then pulled my hand back and watched as she opened her eyes, looking right at .
"Done." I said
"What did you do to ?" She asked
"I blessed you." I said, "You are now part of the Trinity. This mark will peer into your heart and whether or not you are truly faithful to , the idea of the Trinity, there will be discomfort."
"What?" She said
"It will not be painful." I said, "But I cannot take your word for it should you truly desire to 'denounce' your gods."
"You don't trust ? I am giving you a chance." She said with a frown
"It is not that." I said, "This is the way of the Trinity."
"I don't agree with it." She said
"Well, it is too bad that it does not matter what you think." I told her with a smirk, "But...Jon, spread the word...."
"The War is Over."
**************
[Harrenhal]
"I think I like this castle. I will repair and reinforce it." I said with a slight smirk, "House Strong can be my Castellan, I'll build them a nice keep if they want. Small.....but nice."
Jaehaerys sat in front of across the table, his sons standing behind him as they glared at . There was an entire army behind them; they had marched their way up here to witness the ceasefire arrangent.
After who knows how long, there has been a total of 15,000 people dead in this quick but sowhat bloody conflict. There could have been way more but I resurrected them and forced them into the Duskguard. And those 15,000 dead were used to fuel my power even further, which I had that power be filtered, of course.
The King and Queen had co to personally discuss the peace terms; Queen Alysanne sat next to him as she looked at Maegelle who was standing behind . The face of a concerned mother was always amusing to witness. But it is not like I will hurt the girl, I gave my word.
"What of the Tower?" Jahaerys asked
"What about it?" I asked
"Is that not where you reside?" He asked again, "You and your newfound followers."
"We'll relocate." I said as I looked at my nails while leaning back on the chair, "What is it to you?"
"We have co to discuss peace terms." Alysanne said, "Drakken, I am glad that you decided to end this bloody conflict. Any more and-"
"I conquer the Realm." I cut her off, "And sat on that stupid chair. The only reason I don't really commit to it is because the idea of being King is boring. There is no need for that."
"Again...peace terms..." She said
"Yes yes, sure." I said, "As per my agreent with Maegelle, I stop the bloodshed and end the War. Of course, I am more than willing to be reasoned with when it cos to future affairs. She asked to promise say...4 more years of absolute peace? But.....I need sothing to really pique my interest and make consider that."
Jaehaerys narrowed his eyes, "You already have our dragon eggs...." He said, "Have you not had enough?"
I snapped my fingers and pointed at him, "You tried to attack my ho. Where the innocent reside. I won't have that, Jaehaerys." I said seriously, "You are lucky I don't kill the lot of you right here and right now."
"P-Please..." Maegelle spoke up
"Four years of peace sounds well. You can have Harrenhal, you can do with is as you see fit." Alysanne said, "The Realm will allow your sudden formation of a military power and we will not interfere with your affairs. I do recomnd maintaining a peaceful relationship with most regions so you can trade with us, of course."
"Right...." I said as I leaned back, "Yea, I already have this castle. You cannot just give it to . The trading offer sounds nice though."
"What do you want?" Jaehaerys grumbled
I smirked, "You are but a stupid man." I said, "I'll take you up on that offer, Jaehaerys. Daughters....."
"You fucki-" Aemon started
Jaehaerys raised his hand to shut him up, "What?"
"Ten years." I said, "Ten years of peace. My Duskguard will not attack anyone unprovoked for Ten years. Neither my Guardian nor my Cannibal will attack anyone or anything unprovoked for Ten years and I will not involve myself in any negative way for Ten years. In return, I will have your daughter, Saera when she cos of age. Which will be in what, a few more years? I don't know."
Alysanne clenched her fist, "Y-You....."
"Done." Jaehaerys said
I leaned forward, "Just so you know, Jaehaerys...." I said, "You fuck on this, I will murder you and your entire family."
He narrowed his eyes, "I don't plan on it."
"Good." I said as I leaned back, "I have a lot of things I want to do in those Ten years. Among those things is not just the start of my religion....but my House...."
"House?" Alysanne said with surprise
"Oh yes." I said with a smirk, "A new Great House...."
"House Drakkengard."
