(Drakken's POV)
It was a dream. One that I didn't think I would have.
I was in a forest, vast and dark....there was nothing but cold mist all around as I walked through the trees, my bare feet touching the cold ground.
I rembered it....this is where I hunted the Elves....
I stopped and looked around, faintly feeling the ether all around . There was an eerily serene feeling in the air, sothing that was quite unusual for a place like this. One wrong turn and you will either get devoured by a magic beast or will beco a victim of the Wild-Claw Tribe's traps.
I heard the faint sounds of crickets in the distance, the chirping of birds, the growling of wild cats that were roaming about. It all felt so real, despite being a dream.
I knew this was a dream, I had so many that I can distinguish them so easily.
This was ho....Terra....back in Infernis.
I missed my ho.
"Where are you?" a feminine voice said
I turned around and saw a woman with white hair in the distance, wearing a snow-white silk dress with a fur coat over it. Her hair was so white that it was almost see-through, the light of the sunshine that crept through the tree reflected off the beautiful locks. Her skin was so fair that it gave off an ethereal glow.
She was beautiful. Her blue eyes were alluring, but they were also cold—like ice. Her body was divine; I could see the curves even through the dress. There was sothing about this unreal woman. Her beauty was unnatural, I could not place my hand on it.
I recognized her, it only took a couple of seconds to process her beauty.
"A-Athena...." I said softly as I stood there, "I...."
She frowned, "Drakken...." She said with a soothing tone, "Where are you....? I cannot reach you....."
I took a step forward, feeling my entire body beco so heavy, "A-Athena...I don't...." I started, "Have you reached through my dreams? Your power can cross through the Soulway...?"
She shook her head, "Drakken..." she said as her voice faded, "I do not know if I could reach you..."
Can she not hear ? What was going on???
"Athena...." I said, "My Snow Princess....I am here! In front of you! Can you not hear ? You can see , no??"
She closed her eyes, "Your Brothers have searched the Demonic Realms for you..." She said softly, "I wonder....are you well? Wherever you are....I hope you are safe....."
"Athena!" I said as I tried to take a step but couldn't
"Drakken....." a voice said, echoing through the air, "Lord Drakken..."
I looked up, "What? Who?"
"Please wake up...it is urgent...." the voice said,
"Lord Drakken!"
*******
I opened my eyes, "What...?"
I saw Mya looking right down at . I felt that she was on top of , her hands on my chest her hair draped all over , so of it on my face. I felt the warmth of her body as her bottom was pressed tightly on my body.
"Lord Drakken...." She said with a slight smile, "Were you dreaming?"
I looked at her, "Yes." I said, "What is it?"
She leaned down closer to , "What was the dream about?" She asked, a glint of curiosity in her eyes, "Was it sothing pleasant?"
"What is it to you?" I asked, "Why are you on top of ?"
She chuckled, "I bring good news." She said, "Would you like to hear them?"
I blinked, "Why not?"
She blushed slightly, "I am with child."
"Huh?" I said right away, "Say again.....?"
She tucked so of her hair behind her ear, "I bear your child, your divine child..." she said, "You are to be a father...."
I sat up, holding her by the waist as her body bounced back slightly, "You lie." I said as I placed my hand on her stomach, "Surely, it is a li-"
It was not. I felt a faint life force inside of her, barely forming. She must have been a few weeks pregnant at most. I did wonder what was different about her lately. After creating Lyssa, she has been reacting weirdly to anything magical, which I found odd. She was a Greenseer, she would have been used to things like that.
She wrapped one of her arms around my neck, "I do not lie.." She said as she placed her hand on top of mine which was on her stomach, "This is your child.....your heir....."
My face hardened, "Hm...."
She frowned, "I-Is it not sothing you want?" She asked with a sad tone, "M-My Lord, please say sothing...."
I did not know how to react to this. After that dream I just had of Athena, I did not want to be reminded of the world I was in. Mya waking up and giving this news was just a brutal reminder that I am stuck here, away from my ho. And now, I am to have a child.....
And it is mine. Mya is not soone to go behind my back and bed another man, I had to make sure she was mine and mine only.
"Lord Drakken...." Mya said softly
I leaned closer to her, feeling her breath on on my face, "I dreamt of my ho." I said simply, "A Forest.....where my brothers and I used to hunt Elves....I....saw soone..."
"Who....?" She asked
"A woman...." I said as I held her by the waist, "She and I were lovers."
"O-Oh...." She said, "Do you miss her?"
"At tis." I said truthfully, "But I am stuck in this world....with no way back. I have to accept the cruel reality; I cannot go back. This is decent news, Mya...."
She patted my cheek as a tear ran down her cheek, "I have always wanted this...." She told , "I wanted to bear your child....for so long....I am grateful that you have given this honor....this pleasure...."
"Hm...." I said, "My child will be powerful, so make sure to raise the kid to be a worthy Heir. There is much to be done in this world....soone needs to take control of my Draconic Weapons."
She blushed, "Of course...." She said, "I will not fail you."
"I hope not." I said, "Now.....you are with child...."
"You need to rest."
******
"Lady Mya is with child?" Maegelle asked
I nodded, "That is what I just said." I told her, "Thanks for listening..."
I was sitting down in a chair across from Maegelle as servants served us food. Mya had decided to have so sleep after I told her to rest and I had co to break the news to Maegelle.
"C-Congratulations, My Lord." She said as she looked down, "I am sure you are happy to be expecting a child."
"Hm, it's a neutral feeling." I said with a shrug
"I...." she said, "I should have been the one to bear your fi-"
"No." I told her, "I ant what I said. We won't have that discussion again. With my heir on the way, I have to make so certain moves...."
"M-My Mother has written...." She told , "She will visit in a fortnight."
"That is fine." I said, "Surely, the news of a future heir of House Drakkengard will alarm your Father...."
"Perhaps...." She said, "My brother has written as well, Aenys is doing well."
"I really don't care." I said
"You did help him....." She said softly, "Thank you for that."
"At a cost." I said, "Aemon knows what will happen if he doesn't hold his end of the deal. And you.....I do not want you to think you can manipulate to do whatever you want to with the promise of your body...and a child..."
She looked at , "I..." she said, "I did not think you would refuse so easily..."
"If I am to make you mine...it would be in a couple of years..." I said as I leaned forward, "I am technically over a hundred years old....I have standards....whoever I bed must be at least 20 years old.....This world's standards view won of that age as too old.....but I don't care....I can grant you everlasting life....age will not matter when you turn 60 and still look as you do."
She blinked, "You can do that?"
"I told you.....I can." I said, "But enough of that....when my child cos, I want you to be in charge of taking care of it....along with Mya, of course."
"Why?" She asked
"Mya is a Greenseer and a valuable asset." I said, "She might not have ti to do her duty as a mother so just in case, you'd be the caretaker of the kid."
"Fine.." She said
"I do wonder...." I said as I tilted my head, "I never really thought about it....how my children with Athena would be....she has ethereal white hair like you Targaryens...but blue eyes...Mya's child will be a blackhead because we both have black hair.....it could have my eyes as well, I am not sure. But would my children with Athena have white hair and red eyes? I really like her hair.....and I really like yours now that I think about it..."
She looked at for a couple of seconds before smiling slightly and covering her mouth with her hand, "Oh..." She said with a chuckle, which was surprising
I frowned, "What?"
"I did not expect to see this certain side of you." She said as she tucked her hair behind her ear, "So.....Human...."
I frowned, "Don't forget who you are before..."
She nodded, "Yes, I know." She said, "A Dangerous God....who is about to be a Father...."
"Hm..." I said as I looked up, "I wonder...."
"Should I give Mya a gift?"
