Capítulo 12: Dragonborn
Valyria
East of Westros lies the Smoking Sea, where no ship dares sail. There are those who swear it to be demon-haunted, and who's to say they're wrong?
For it was there, thousands of years ago, that a cataclysmic event occurred, destroying one of the great civilizations in history.
The precise details of their origins are lost to us, but it is said the Valyrians were once a modest community of shepherds, tending their flocks on a small peninsula of Essos
One fateful day, in a volcanic area, they made a shattering discovery. Dragons.
They were monstrous, scaled creatures, with massive wings, sharp claws, and fiery breath.
In time, the Valyrians were able to tame the beasts. Harnessing their immense power, they established a city of wonder unlike any before or since.
They became skilled at sorcery and metallurgy, creating uncommon weapons of valyrian steel. Wielding these weapons astride their dragons, the Valyrians conquered the surrounding lands.
The Valyrian Freehold as it was known, extended far and wide, covering most of the known world.
The Freehold would prosper for nearly five thousand years. But it was not to last.
An event that became known only as the Doom laid waste to the Valyrians, their capital city, and its surrounding lands. Valyria itself was shattered, becoming what is now the Smoking Sea. Every dragon was thought to be lost, as were the Valyrians' spells, knowledge, and recorded history. Thus the mighty empire collapsed.
What caused this cataclysm? No one knows for certain. Some say it was a volcanic eruption. Others say the Valyrians' own sorcery got the better of them.
In any event, the Doom's devastation of the Valyrian people was total with the exception of a small rocky island in the Narrow Sea. Dragonstone.
For it was there that the Targaryens, the last of Old Valyria, dwelled.
And now the Targaryen's have returned to Valyria, the place where it all began. We had sailed from Volantis, with the fleet arranged by Illyrio.
He was struck speechless by our voyage to Valyria, though it's natural as normally no one dares to go to Valyria.
This is where my true test begins, i shall either herald the rise of the House of Dragon or signal it's end.
It's a full moon day today, and the pale moonlight is surrounded by a inky blackness, but the red comet was like a rising sun on the horizon. It is clashing against the moonlight for dominance in the night.
Whatever it is, tonight the ritual is going to be conducted. I looked into the skies, and saw the red streak of the comet as it continued to fly in the sky.
A pyre was arranged in the shape of the three headed dragon.
We arrived near the pyre, where three cages were kept. They kept shaking constantly, and screeching noises were heard from them once in a while.
"The time has come, open the cages and tie them to the stakes."
Men hurried forwards, and opened the cages. And three stonemen rushed out, clawing out in an attempt to reach us.
It reminded me, of the captured wight that was brought to Kings Landing.
The men pulled on the chains attached to the stonemen, and dragged them towards the stake, where they were tied.
I beckoned Daenerys, to come near the pyre. The stonemen were tied to the pyre now, i looked at them and then took out the dragon eggs from the chest.
Daenerys
Her breath got caught in her throat, as she saw the dragon eggs. Is he going to.., my thoughts were a jumbled mess. The dragons were not seen since more than a century, any attempt to hatch them had failed. Her great-grandfather had died in an attempt to hatch dragons, along with her grandfather, grandmother and many others at Summerhall. But she still, went towards him.
"Daenerys, i think you know by now what i am going to do."
"Y es, but ..brother are you ...sure." Her voice was shaky, and she was scared.
"Yes, i am sure. Take one dragonegg and place it on the stake where the stonemen are tied."
"But brother,.."
"Trust me, Dany."
"Ok."
Daenerys
She didn't knew why she said yes, but she took the dragon egg and moved towards the stake. When she touched the dragon egg it felt warm in her hands, more so than it normally felt. It was a beautiful egg with silver scales, and she remembered the silver dragon from her dreams, flying in the air. With each step she took her heart thundered in her chest, but the dream of that silver dragon, moved her forwards.From the corner of her eyes, she saw her brother doing the same with the other dragon eggs.
I felt the dragon eggs were warm, more so than usual. Or it may be due the surrounding chilly atmosphere, i continued walking and soon reached near the stake. I placed the red dragon egg on the rightmost stake, and the black one on the middle stake. Daenerys, placed her silver dragon egg on the leftmost stake. I saw her flinch, when she looked at the stoneman. I can't fault her on that, i was also quite disturbed when i saw them for the first time.
We walked back, after placing the dragon eggs. We soon arrived at the formation, there i took two torches and handed one to Daenerys.
Daenerys
She took the torch, her hand was constantly shaking though. Her thoughts once again drifted back to the dream she had, and a question constantly arose in her thoughts, will dragons return once again. Would they be just like the one's she had seen her dreams. Shaking her head of those thoughts, she watched as her brother began to walk towards the pyre, seeing him she too started following him.
I took the torch and walked towards the pyre, Danny also followed me. When we reached the pyre, i looked at Danny and nodded. We both lowered our torches, and watched as the pyre was lit. And soon enough, the entire formation was roaring in an inferno.
With a deep breath, i steeled my nerves and walked into the pyre.
Daenerys
She watched as her brother entered the pyre, she was scared and in her heart wanted the whole thing to end. But she remembered the words, her brother had said to her;'Trust me'. So she trusted him, and followed him into the pyre. She felt the flames licking at her feet, and burning way her dress, but oddly they did not harm her. She felt as if the sky and the earth itself were guiding her, and soon she reached the stake were she had kept the silver dragon egg. The stoneman was screeching and wailing continously now. Looking around, she saw that her brother had also reached the stake besides her, where a black dragon egg was kept. He looked towards her and nodded.
I was astounded as the flames burnt my clothes and shoes, but they were not affecting me in the slightest. It felt weird, seeing physics getting thrown out of the window, but who cares anyway. I reached the stake where the black dragon egg was kept.
The stoneman kept screeching and clawing at it's binds but he was aflame now. I looked, towards my sister, and saw her looking at me, and so i nodded in her direction.
Jon Connington
Everyone was anxious, the whole camp was abuzz with activity as the first ray of sunlight reached them. The pyre was ablaze from night till dawn. It had burned fiercely for the entire night, the screaming and screeching of the stonemen and the fires, had prevented anybody from approaching the pyre.
Not that anyone wanted to enter it, they had tried to stop the prince. Persuasion, thoughts and threats everything they could have done, but he was adamant, and nothing worked on him. In the end, they had to accept his decision, as he was their king. But he knew he had failed, once again. But this time with the siblings of his silver prince.
As the dust settled, they began to clear out the pyre, when he was rendered speechles. For he was seeing something that had not been seen by this world for nearly two centuries.
Nearly everyone were begining to gather, and their reactions the same. They all kneeled, because in front of them stood the siblings, naked as the day the were born.
Astonishingly, they had somehow survived, without being burned alive in the fire. However, that had not been the cause of everyone's attention.
It was the three dragons that were perched on their shoulders, that did so.
