章 3: The Man From The Stars II

(Third Person POV)

[Red Keep, King's Landing, Some Days Later]

"What is the situation in the Stormlands?" Jaehaerys asked Barth as they walked along the halls, "Any news?" 

"No, your Grace." The Hand said, "Prince Aemon is volunteering to fly and patrol." 

"No." Jaehaerys said, "He should stay here." 

"As you wish." Barth said as he nodded

"Where is Baelon?" Jaehaerys asked

"I do not know, Your Grace." Barth said, "Last I heard, he was training with Prince Aemon. But other than that, I am not sure. I do know Princess Alyssa is sticking to him like always." 

"Hm." Jaehaerys said with a stern look on his face, "Very well." 

As they turned a corner, both the King and His Hand stopped as the Queen approached them. 

Septon Barth bowed slightly, "Your Grace." He said

Queen Alysanne smiled slightly, "Septon Barth." She said as her eyes switched to Jaehaerys, "Husband." 

Jaehaerys looked at her, "Alysanne. I thought you were with Maegelle and Vaegon." He said, "What is the matter?" 

The Queen looked at him, "What is this I hear about the Fallen Star?" She asked, "Aemon wishes to fly back to the Stormlands to investigate?" 

Barth nodded, "Yes, Your Grace. His Grace has denied that request, however." He said, "I have sent word to Lord Baratheon to investigate further." 

Jaehaerys nodded, "Right." He said, "Whatever comes from that, it is nothing good." 

Alysanne nodded, "Very well." She said, "That said, there is an important matter I wish to discuss with you, Husband. Alone." 

Septon Barth bowed slightly, "I'll take my leave." He said, "Your Grace, if you need me, I'll be in my quarters. Please send for me if you require me. Please excuse me, My Queen." 

Jaehaerys crossed his arms, "Of course." he said as Barth walked away

Alysanne side-eyed the Hand as he walked past her, a slight smile on her face, "So....Jaehaerys." She started, "What is this I hear about Baelon and Alyssa?" 

Jaehaerys tilted his head, "What about it?" 

"You wish to move their wedding up?" She raised an eyebrow, "Why?" 

"I have received an unusual report of the two of them..." He said as he turned around and began to walk away, "I will not entertain it further." 

Alysanne sighed and walked alongside him, "It is false, Husband. I have asked Alyssa myself. She would not lie to me. It was just a small kiss, a peck on the cheek from her part to Baelon's. Please don't make a big deal of it." She said

"You are the one who wanted her betrothed to Baelon in the first place. I wanted her for Aemon." Jaehaerys said with a nearly frustrated tone, "I am merely doing what you wanted." 

"She's 12, Jaehaerys." Alysanne said, "You'll force Baelon to plant his seed in his sister? So young?" 

"I will not speak of this any longer," Jaehaerys said

"You are right. You won't." She said, "Because it won't happen. I have spoken." 

Jaehaerys stopped and looked at her, "Pardon?" 

Alysanne looked at him, "Wait. Just a few more years." She said, "I guarantee you, nothing scandalous will come from it. Alyssa is just an energetic young girl, you know how hot-blooded we dragons can be at times. Let her be, she means no harm." 

Jaehaerys blinked, "Hm...." He said

"Besides, the two of them should claim a dragon before then, right?" The Queen said with a smile, "Just like Vermithor and Silverwing oversaw our wedding, so should theirs." 

"You drive a hard bargain, woman." Jaehaerys said as he placed his hand on his chin, "Very well, I agree." 

"Good." Alyssanne said

"Where are the children?" Jaehaerys asked

"Where they usually are." The Queen replied

"Hm." He said, "Keep them in the Keep. At all times. I don't want any of them to step a foot outside the walls." 

"Why is that?" Alysanne asked

"The same goes for you." Jaehaerys said, "I have a terrible feeling about what's to come.....the Dragons...they felt uneasy about the Fallen Star. And Caraxes, the dragon that was actually near the site....something bothered the beast." 

"What should we think of it then?" Alysanne asked with a bit of concern

"I don't know...." Jaehaerys said, "Is this...." 

"Is this an Omen?" 

*************

[Near Ashford]

Drakken sat down on a rock in front of the river, drinking from a canteen that he had looted from one of the soldiers he butchered. 

His hair was cut short, no longer reaching to his neck, and was much more clean-looking than before. His skin was not as pale as it was anymore, a bit more life to it. 

He gulped down the water and then gasped, "Ahhh...." He said, "Water....I guess in any world, it'll taste good when fucking parched...." 

He slouched down as he shook his hair, adjusting to his sudden haircut. 

"Yea...." He said, "That's the stuff. Spend decades in a dimensional prison constantly fighting Ancient Demons and it'll grow your hair.....am I right, fellas?" 

He looked to the side to see several corpses laid out next to the river bank, soldiers whose limbs were cut off, puddles of blood surrounding them. 

"Hm..." Drakken said as he frowned, "Guess they can't survive long without their limbs.....definitely weaker than regular ol humans in Infernis....what a shame...Oh wait, this one might still be alive." 

He stood up and turned around, walking to a tree where a man was nailed to, bleeding from his arms and his stomach. 

He was whimpering, blood pouring from his mouth as tears ran down his face, "P-p-please!" he whimpered, "L-let me go!" 

Drakken saw the daggers that he had staked through his arms and onto the tree, "Hm...." he said, "Interesting...you're not dead yet? I guess you are fortunate." 

"W-Why..." the man cried, "What are you?" 

Drakken leaned into him, "Hey now." He said with a wicked grin, "It's only normal for someone like you to suffer, right? Someone so weak....weak enough to harass a poor little girl? You and your friends wanted to rape that poor thing, eh?" 

"N-no..." He said, "W-Well...." 

"Tsk tsk..." Drakken placed his hand on the man's chest, "That's bad, ya know? Even I, The God of War and Death, do not condone such vulgarity." 

"W-What are you doing????" the man said

"Die." Drakken said with a serious expression

Suddenly, the man was cut into by an invisible force. His entire body, along with the tree, was cleaved in two. Blood sprayed everywhere as the tree began to collapse to the ground, the two halves of the man's body following it. 

Drakken walked back as he placed his hand on his chin, "Interesting." He said, "My Sorcery's output varies on the conditions, hm? If it's a ranged cut or slice, it'll be weaker....but if I'm making direct contact with my target, it will be stronger. Man....I didn't feel this weak with this Sorcery ever since I unlocked it. Shit....now, I have to think wisely about using it...but it's fine. These humans are weak." 

Drakken walked up to one of the soldiers, taking the sword from his corpse. 

"The steel is weak...or maybe I'm too strong for it." he said, "I would like a good quality sword...I should look around. Also.....a town or a city might be nice. I can loot some gold from these guys and find myself directions to the Capital....King's Landing...." 

"To see the Targaryens' dragons..."
