Chương 53: Chapter 53

I look around in confusion. I'm sleeping inside my room, but I'm standing inside a forest filled with snow. I can feel magic around me. Does someone try to invade my dream?

I frown before releasing my mana into the air. I can see the world around me start to shake. I pump a large amount of mana into the air and see the world start to crack.

"Stop! Stop!"

I stop and look at the tree next to me. I can see a crow sitting on the tree branch. The crow is not your regular crow. It has three eyes.

"Who are you?! And what's your right to invade my dream?! Speak!"

I cannot read the crow's expression, but I have a feeling that thing is angry at me. What is its problem? It invaded my dream and had the gall to be mad at me? I should be the one who is angry here.

"I'm the Three-Eyed-Raven, the Greenseer of the north. I-"

I quickly spike my mana once again. I hate people who boast about their titles and accomplishments. There is a place and time to do it but invading someone's dream is not one of them.

"What are you doing?! Stop! Stop!"

I stop when I see the tree change into a man with a tree coming out of his body. I can see mana he released into the air to repair the damage I have done. After a few seconds, I can see the world back to its original state and the man-tree panting a little.

"Speak! I want the reason why you decided to invade my dream. Just remember, even if you invade my dream, this is still mine, and I can ...."

I take a deep breath, and suddenly, the world turns black. The sunny place turns into a starless sky filled with nothing but a void. A second later, a shadow appeared behind me and formed a shape that I was only familiar with.

At first, it takes the form of a giant worm filled with teeth and tentacles, but every second, it changes shape into something else. This is Azathoth, the outer gods in the Lovecraft universe. They are the ones I created to protect my mind from invaders, and I can call them when someone tries to invade my mental state, including dreams.

I can see the man-tree look at the being behind me and start to scream incoherently. I decide to dismiss the projection and say,

"Speak."

I don't know if my projection is so effective. I know I create them to make anyone who invades my mental state go insane, but I never thought it would be this effective. Is it because of my high affinity for space? Maybe.

"Y-You are a monster!"

"Speak. I did not have all day."

"I came here to give you a gift, but it looks like you did not deserve the gift I have prepared for you in the ruin of Valyria."

After he said that, the world cracked, and I opened my eyes. Who does he think he is? I had never met him before, and he wanted to give me a gift?

I did not need any gift from a stranger.

Also, I need to make a barrier that can prevent anyone from invading our dream. I especially did not want that bastard to appear in Dany and Rhae's dream. I feel he is just a creepy dude who is willing to appear in a child's dream.

Hmmm, what kind of barrier should I make? Hmmm, should I create a trap-type barrier instead of a blocking barrier? I can make a jewel for the barrier around our rooms and make that bastard trapped inside one of the jewels.

It will have a chance to get out, but it requires a large amount of mana to do so. If they cannot do that? Well, their mana will be sucked dry, and when their mana is gone, the jewel will suck their soul instead. It was like a soul gem in Skyrim.

After their soul is sucked inside the jewel, it will be turned into a massive amount of mana that I can use for myself.

Let's get to work.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

|3rd POV|

After one week of work, Viserys finished his project and placed all three gems inside Rhae, Dany, and his room. The gems are the core of the barrier that surrounds their rooms from any mental attack, including dreams.

Viserys is afraid that the Three-Eyed Crow will try this thing once again, but instead of targeting him, he will target Dany and Rhae.

And he was right.

Lord Brynden Rivers, also known as the Bloodraven, The White Worm, and the Three-Eyed Crow, noticed that Viserys did not heed his word and went to the ruin of Valyria, where many kinds of monsters roam the land.

His plan is to send Viserys to the land of corruption, where monsters spawn from the corrupted mana in the air. Finally, his plan is to send Viserys to his doom in the ruinous kingdom of Valyria and let monsters there kill him.

He wants the world to return back to his original vision by killing the false dragon's head. He will kill Viserys just like in the original timeline so his vision can continue like the original.

Sadly for him, Viserys did not obey his words and still stayed in Lunaria instead of going to the Ruin of Valyria.

"You leave me no choice, child."

Brynden sighs and gathers a large amount of mana from the air before casting his magic to appear inside Daenerys' dream. However, instead of appearing inside Dany's mind, Brynden appears in the middle of a swamp.

"What?! Where am I?!"

He looks around for a few seconds before noticing a massive shadow coming from behind him. As he looks back, he can see an enormous dragon looking at him while snarling. The dragon has a black scale that absorbs the light around him. The dragon is massive, thirty meters tall and one hundred twenty-two meters long.

"Wo Los Hi?" (Who are you?)

Brynden clutches his head when he hears the dragon language of Skyrim. His brain and body cannot handle the magic released from the dragon in front of him.

"Hi Los Aan Volaan. Hi Wo Laan Wah Ahraan Fin Mal Dovah." (You are an intruder. You who want to hurt the small dragon.)

Before Brynden could say something, the dragon took a deep breath before opening its maw and speaking.

"Yol Toor Shul!"

A massive fire breath washed over him a second later and burned his entire body. Brynden tries to move his body, but before he can do that, the dragon in front of him shouts once again.

"Tiid Klo Ul"

He can feel his body move, but it moves VERY slowly. His sense is still the same. Just his movement is slowed down.

Brynden gets tortured for seven weeks from all elements and all kinds of spells before he finally gets out trap Viserys placed for him. He used all the mana he gathered in his entire life to escape the trap and only left small mana inside his core.

Brynden needs a long time before he can invade other people's dreams, just like he always did in the past, and it did not go unnoticed by his main enemy in the north.

When this thing feels its enemy's power dwindle, it opens its eyes and releases a laugh that makes anyone who hears it shiver in fear. Then, its blue eyes shine in power before releasing a roar, and winter moves quickly to the south.

The enemy of man moves faster than intended because of one greedy man whose plan has been destroyed by a child. The Three-Eyed Crow is not the world's savior but rather the catalyst of this world's destruction.
