(Drakken's POV)
[Several Months Later...]
I sat down in the table, looking at Jon who was giving his report.
"Brynden, who has the command of the detachnt over by Casterly Rock has stated that besides the occasional bandit raids, it is too quiet." Jon said, "Not only that, Lord Lannister has beco quite persistent in his approaches to the Keep."
I nodded, "Very well." I said, "Send a ssage to Brynden, tell him to refuse them unless absolutely necessary."
He nodded, "As you command." He said, "There is another thing. Sothing that Lannister has said."
I looked at him, "What is it?" I asked
"He demands a grandchild via his daughters." He said, "He said in a letter that is the reason why he handed them to you."
I frowned, "Demands he says?" I said as irritation filled my body, "Write a letter to Lannister, write that I am politely telling him to fuck off. Should he demand sothing of again, I will return his daughters piece by piece and retrieve my Duskguard."
He looked at for a few seconds before clearing his throat and nodding.
"Understood." He said
I raised an eyebrow, "Is there sothing you want to say?"
"Well...." He said as he looked away
"Say it." I told him sternly
"What are you going to do with them?" He asked, "The n are complaining that Dara is constantly harassing them since she is bored. There has been a couple of incidents where she has tried to make a move on one of my n and Olyver had him fed to our Lady's wolves. She is bored, the other one also grows restless."
"Hm." I said
"Again, If I may speak my mind freely, I can see that you don't seem interested in them." He told , "You do what you want to, Of course. But to avoid disaster, sothing must be done with them."
"Fine." I shrugged, "You can have them. If you can make sure that one of them is still pure, you can have your pick. You are right, I am not interested in them."
He looked at with a surprised look, "W-Well, I...."
"You are a devout follower and a loyal commander." I said, "Mya told I should reward you generously and ever since she told she was pregnant, I didn't pay any attention to the twins."
He blinked, "B-But My Lord...."
"I am not going to repeat myself." I said, "You are a mber of the Duskguard, a marriage like this will benefit House Lannister regardless. Do in fact send that ssage, though. Remind him of what position he is in, the cunt."
He stood up and slightly bowed, "Thank you, My Lord." He said, "I am grateful for this, I truly am. rely serving under you is reward enough.".
I nodded, "Yes, well-" I started before I was cut off by a strange sound in my ear
It sounded like a distorted swirling of wind, rapidly forming behind my head. It sent a chill down my spine as my fingers began to tingle. I had not felt sothing like this in so long that I forgot what it was.
"Weak...." A low distorted voice whispered in my ear
I frowned and looked around, "Weak?"
"My Lord?" Jon asked
I looked at him and waved him off, "It is nothing." I told him, "You are dismissed."
The swirling sound beca a bit louder and my head began to throb, sothing was creeping in the back of my mind.
"Forgot yourself...." The voice said
I could not help but frown at this, my fists clenched by themselves as a reaction. It had beco a strange and annoying feeling so quickly.
Jon bowed slightly and looked at , "Very well....." he said, "I will go ahead and inform the Twins about the decision."
I nodded, "right...."
He then left the room, leaving alone by myself.
"Weak...?" I said to myself, "Forgot myself?"
*********
"Ehh???" Dara Lannister said as she stood there in the courtyard outside Harrenhal, "What do you an I am to marry Ser Jon???"
Mya who was standing next to , holding her large belly was rely chuckling.
"It is a command from Lord Drakken himself." She said with a smile
Dara looked at her, "Well, I want that." She said as she pointed at her belly
"You will get it if you marry Ser Jon." Mya told her
"Yes, but I want it from him." She said as she pointed
I smacked my lips, "This one is a spoiled shit, isn't she?" I said as I rolled my eyes, "If you don't want it, fine, we'll give your sister to Daranne. Jon is a commander of my army, he gets plenty of benefits. Lyssa is generating enough gold to build more and more forts and keeps and he'll get his own one day. If you don't want that, well, that is your problem."
I looked to the side and saw that her twin, Daranne was sitting in the distance, on a bench and looking up at the falling leaves of a nearby tree. That one was quiet, much more quiet than her sister but she has her quirks as well. She can get a bit temperantal but she doesn't lash out or anything.
I rarely interacted with her, it was mostly Dara.
Dara scowled, "It's not fair."
"Don't complain to about fair." I said, "Do as you are told. You have been treated well here, nobody touches you, you get what you ask for. You are fed, clothed, and given the luxury that a Lannister has."
"Yet, you don't touch ." She said with an annoyed tone
My eye twitched, the swirling sound getting louder as my head throbbed even more. I began to feel a chill going through my spine as I got quick flashes of black and white in my vision in front of .
It was an uneasy experience but I acted like nothing had happened.
I took a step forward, "Do what you are told." I said, "If you marry Ser Jon and give him children, you will be rewarded greatly."
"Can I have one of those dragon creatures?" she asked
"No." I said, "Shut up now. My head hurts."
"But-" She started
"Dara, dear, please...." Mya cut her off, "Lord Drakken is tired, do not antagonize him. His word is law, he ans well."
Dara frowned and crossed her arms, "Fine then." She said, "I-"
"Make a move on soone else and I'll send you back to Casterly Rock." I cut her off with an annoyed tone as I placed my hand on my temple, "You will comport yourself with dignity here and when you marry Jon, you will not cause a scandal, otherwise a punishnt will be in order."
"Lord Drakken." Mya said as she grabbed my hand, "Are you well? Let's get you so water."
"I'm fine." I said as I pried free as the swirling got louder and my head beca numb
"Weakness...why show weakness? Kill...." the voice was louder, "Destroy...."
Ah.
I know what this was.
I forgot that this is what happened the first ti I obtained my Calamity. Is this an effect from being disconnected from Infernis? I wonder...it has been years since this has happened to .
It is trying to influence ...Chaos Incarnate.....The Calamity.....
It manifests as a voice that speaks to and tempts to cause destruction. For years after I mastered my power, I didn't hear the voice telling what to do....and yet I do it.
Why? Because I have always been a suitable vessel for Chaos.....because I am one with it...
I let out a sigh as the throbbing eased up, watching as Dara stomped away in a fit of frustration.
"My Lord...." Mya said
I looked up at the sky, "Hm..." i said, "I wonder...."
"what is it?" Mya asked
I frowned,
"Have I gone soft?"
