Capítulo 15: The King and The God
(Third Person POV)
"What is going on?" Baelon asked his Brother as they rushed down the hallway, "What's all this ruckus?!"
"An accident happened. A chandelier fell on some Lords and crushed them." Aemon said while he sweated slightly, "Similar to what happened in the eastern part of the city with the workers."
Baelon widened his eyes, "Don't tell me....."
"Yes." Aemon said seriously, "I think he's here."
"Inside the Keep???" Baelon scowled, "That fucking...."
"Listen, Baelon, we should be careful from here on out." Aemon said, "I'm going to see Jocelyn, go to Mother and Alyssa. Make sure our siblings are okay."
"We have the Kingsguard for that!" Baelon said, "We'll take the fight to him!"
"Are you a fool, Baelon?!" Aemon scowled, "This is no ordinary man! He claims to be a god! It's clear he's not normal!"
"I don't care!" Baelon said, "What good could he do without his head?!"
As they turned the corner, they approached Lady Jocelyn's chamber doors, seeing a servant walking out the door.
"Prince Aemon!" She said, "L-Lady Jocelyn is asking for you!"
Aemon nodded, "I am here." He said, "Baelon, go and see our mother and siblings. Now!"
Baelon scowled, "I am a warrior, brother, wielder of Dark Sister. I cannot just back down from a fight, you know that." He said seriously
"You're just a foolish boy, brother." Aemon said, "Do this for once, dammit!"
Baelon smacked his lips, "Curse it all..."
He then walked away as Aemon walked inside the room, a bit concerned about Jocelyn.
"Jocelyn?" Aemon said as he walked in the middle of the room, "Is everything okay? The Red Keep is in alarm at the moment...."
Jocelyn was sitting in the bed, her hair set loose as she was covered in a blanket, her face full of sweat.
"My love..." She said as she stood up
"Are you alright?" Aemon rushed over to her, "You're sweating!"
"I....feel strange..." Jocelyn said as she looked at Aemon, eyeing him up and down, "Uh....."
She felt something strange stir up inside her, the sight of her man making her temperature rise a bit more. Without saying anything else, she grabbed his arm and pulled her closer to him.
"Jocelyn?" Aemon said with surprise
"Hold me..." Jocelyn said as her entire face was red and her eyes were filled with bliss, looking at Prince Aemon, "I don't know what's become of me....but at this moment....I just want you....Aemon...."
"Jocelyn, now is not the time for something like that." Aemon said firmly, "I have to go and search for the-"
Jocelyn cut him off by placing her finger on his lip, "I did not ask." She said seriously, "This is not a request. I am having you right now."

"Find him!!" Jaehaerys bellowed as he stood in front of the Iron Throne, "He's somewhere in the Red Keep!!"
Septon Barth nodded, "We are doing the best we can, Your Grace." He said as two Kingsguard stood behind him, "We have locked your Family down in their chambers, several guards have been posted. Our men are scouring the entire place, no corner left unchecked."
Jaehaerys began to pace back and forth, "You did your best in the City, Barth, yet nothing came of it!" He said as he clenched his fists, "What good is our best when we cannot do a simple fucking thing?! Find a single man!!!!"
"Your Grace, I advise you to take a deep breath." Barth said, "You must remain calm at this moment."
"Husband." Alysanne's voice was heard, "What is the meaning of this? Why are you locking the children in their quarters?"
Jaehaerys looked at her, "You should have stayed with them, Alysanne." He said with a sudden calm tone, as if the sight of his wife did that, "Right now, our walls have been breached."
"Three lords suffered an accident." Barth explained, "Your Grace, it is identical to what had happened in the City with the workers. This man....he caused it."
Alysanne stood there, a bit surprised, "He's within our walls? I cannot believe this!" She said, "What are we doing to resolve this?! It's a single man...."
"We are doing the best we can." Barth said
Jaehaerys began to pace again, "I cannot believe it has come to this." He said, "If this gets out, I do not know how the Lords of the Realm will take it. A conflict will certainly arise, Boremund is already restless....."
"I will handle Boremund." Alyssa said, "He is our brother, remember that, Jaehaerys. Due to our blood, he will listen to reason. Especially from me."
"Boremund cares not for what blood runs through our veins." Jaehaerys said, "All he cares about right now is that we hand over someone before he takes matters into his own hands. A war-"
"Do not say that." Alysanne said, "The peace you worked so hard to keep will not falter!"
"Her Grace is right." Septon Barth said firmly, "We will stay strong, Your Grace."
Suddenly, a Maester approached the Hand of The King, "Lord Hand..." He said, "T-The library...."
"What is it?" Jaehaerys asked
"Your Graces....." He said, "Some of the tomes that covered the Targaryen History were taken....I was going to work on them when they were gone."
"You came to bother us about books, Maester?" Septon Barth asked, "I understand it is an important matter but at a time like this? The Red Keep is on lockdown, we cannot be distracted at the moment."
Jaehaerys narrowed his eyes, "The Targaryen History?"
"That's right." A loud voice said, echoing through the Throne Room
Alysanne looked up, "What? A man's voice?" She said as he turned around, a bit confused
The Kingsguard drew their swords and immediately closed in on Alysanne and Jaehaerys as Septon Barth turned to face the doors, seeing that they were closed.
"Who goes there?" Barth asked
"Up here." they heard the voice say
Atop a small ledge on the far side of the room, high among the walls, Drakken was sitting down comfortably, holding a large book in his hands. He flipped through the pages, quickly scanning the contents, and taking the information in.
Jaehaerys widened his eyes, "W-What?"
Drakken then jumped from the spot where he was at and landed in the middle of the room, a feat so shocking to those present that they were stunned by merely looking at it.
He straightened up and closed the book with one hand, "Ah." He said, "King Jaehaerys Targaryen, I presume?"
Jaehaerys was a bit too stunned to speak, seeing the sight before him. A man, a tall man exuded an imposing aura. His hair was black and his eyes were blood red, filled with a chaotic glow inside. Ignoring the foreign clothes Drakken wore, Jaehaerys could tell that this person was a man like no other like he was not from this world.
The King was too stunned to speak, seeing that Drakken was merely staring at him, a slight smirk on his face.
Septon Barth took a step forth, "You." He said, "State your name."
Drakken tilted his head, "I don't speak to scum underlings." He said while looking past Barth and at the King and Queen, "Bugger off."
"Seize him!" Barth ordered the guards
The several guards drew their weapons and made a go for Drakken but he simply waved his hand at them. They were flung back across the room, crashing hard against the walls and falling on the floor.
Alysanne widened her eyes, seeing the unconscious bodies of the guards, "W-What?" She said as the Kingsguard placed their arms in front of her defensively, "What just happened?"
Drakken took in a deep breath, "I come in peace....well.....at this moment, I don't plan on killing anyone." He said, "I am intrigued....The Targaryen Dynasty.....owners of the fire-breathing creatures that you call Dragons....interesting....I would like to know more....King Jaehaerys and....Queen..."
"A-Alysanne...." Alysanne said, "I am Queen Alysanne...."
She was compelled to answer, the sight of Drakken was something her mind could not properly comprehend, something inside her was curious about the man.
"Alysanne...." Drakken said as he smirked slightly, "Interesting indeed..."
Jaehaerys cleared his throat, "So.." He said as he stepped forth, "It's you.....you were the one.....the star that fell...."
Drakken nodded, "Oh yes." He said, "It is I....."
"The God of War and Death."
