章節 35: Chapter 35
Within the chamber which held the altar that imprisoned Alexstrasza, Cyrus found bonding with a Dragon Aspect wasn't as easy as he had thought it would be. When a dragon is bonded with a champion or rider a lot is imprinted with the bond, hence why most dragon riders would bond with newly born dragons. It was less of a burden and they wouldn't be influenced by the dragon, rather the dragon would actually be influenced by their rider sharing similar personalities to the one they are bonded with.
Cyrus was bonding with one of the most ancient dragons, which did come with additional benefits but was the reason for so much pain. His mana pool was drastically increasing as was his stamina and all other stats. His druidic and shaman classes had significant boosts due to Alexstrasza being of a nature aspect as did his holy due to her life aspect. Her domains influenced his powers and even his personality a bit, it made him more stable mentally so he wasn't as side tracked or spontaneous due to gaining experience thru the memories shared through the bonding.
He was able to view the world thru Alexstrasza, seeing the beginning of the arrival of the Burning Legion in the far lands north beyond the Wall. All the undead the Lich King was resurrecting from the dead deep within the Earth that had died ages ago, the Night King who was now turned into an Elder Lich. His war path towards the remaining Children of the Forest and the Three Eyed Raven Brynden Rivers.
A man in yellow travelling with someone in a familiar armor set, knowledge of much of the happenings across the whole world. His classes began to react to the increasing power, his talent trees within both druid and shaman fully unlocking and granting all three talent trees maxed out as well as any of the holy talent trees for his other classes. His Hunter class was also boosted but only giving him full talent unlock in beast mastery.
He felt the shackles that bond Alexstrasza lash out towards him, but the pillar of light restricted the chains and slowly ate away at them. As the chains were slowly turning into light particles, they began being absorbed into the image of Alexstrasza making her form more solid. As the pillar brightened Alexstrasza let out a deafening roar which could be heard even further in the north, bringing the Lich King out of his thoughts causing him to look in the direction of Dragonstone.
Many in Kings Landing and Dragonstone fell to their knees from the force generated by the dragons roar. The three dragons traveling with Daenerys and Jon roared in excitement feeling their mothers excitement and joy from being free, both Jon and Daenerys feeling the dragons joy and the powerful roar in the distance thru their bond with the dragons.
Even Shireen, Ygritte, Bran and Obara all felt it and even felt a stirring within their classes. In their excitement Ygritte even used her ability to track humans to locate any bandit groups to try their new abilities. They had unknowing stumbled upon the bandit group sent by Roose Bolton and due to their excitement had completely annihilated the group within moments. Each of them launched an attack at the same time after Oberyn and his fellow Rogues had set up the ambush. The group of well trained assassin's along with Petyr's assassin were killed before they even knew what hit them.
The last thing they thought was, 'How?' as bullets, fireballs, ice bolts and multiple physical attacks rained down on them from everywhere. They had been in a ambush position and shouldn't have been seen until it was too late. It was thanks to Ygritte having leveled up with Tormund that when they unlocked their class they were able to learn moves associated to their level. Once the others felt the experience gain from killing, it became addictive to them. Even Sansa having cast her first [Smite] and feeling the comrodery with battling with friends opened a whole new world of thought to her. She no longer had such an abhorrence for battle as a lady, even though she grew up being taught as a northerner she still didn't think a lady should fight. Arya's desire to fight had always confounded her, but now she had learned the joy of vanquishing your foe. Continuing on their journey north with renewed enthusiasm, they became a menace to any bandits between Winterfell and the Wall.
As the world began to return to normal thanks to the pillar dispersing many questions began to be raised by everyone. Back on Dragonstone Cyrus found himself breathing heavily and crouched on one knee. His extremities shaking from the residual shock from the pain he experienced.
Looking up he sees Alexstrasza in her humanoid form of a High Elf, he was shocked by her beauty and the power she projected in her armor.
Casting a healing spell of her own on Cyrus after seeing his condition Alexstrasza spoke first. "Arize my champion, there is much to do. As I'm sure you have seen from our bonding, Gul'dan has been able to begin summoning the Burning Legion to attack the Wall. The demons won't be weakened by the Wall as the Scourge are." Alexstrasza explained as she watched Cyrus stand and rotate his shoulders to clear away the residual pains.
"Yeah kinda figured it was the reason for him to summon Gul'dan, Ner'zhul could've sent all his legions and we could've fought them back from the Wall easily. The Burning Legion could effectively destroy it even though they would be affected by the holy aspect, demons aren't as weak to holy damage as the undead are." Cyrus thought about all the visions he had seen, reminding him of the splitting headache he had experienced causing a shiver to run down his spine.
"Much is needed to do, come bring me to your Hall of Champions so that I may bring the spirits of the champions back where they belong. We will need their help along with the other Aspects to have a chance against Deathwing. If he and the Ner'zhul join forces it would make the task much more difficult." Alexstrasza pointed out.
After hearing that she would be able to awaken the Hall of Champions completely, Cyrus quickly opened a portal to Winterfell allowing them both to reappear within the Hall of Champions. Moments after arriving Alexstrasza began to pray in the language of the Ancients and upon finishing the prayer each alter began to glow, a humanoid spirit appeared behind each alter giving Alexstrasza a salute upon appearing.
After that was completed he decided it was time to catch one of the undead. He had an easy enough plan, he had created a mithril chest that was enchanted with [Shackle Undead] so after using the spell and placing the undead into the chest it would hold it indefinitely or until the mana powering the enchantment was used up.
Knowing the tourney wasn't but a few weeks away he wanted to quickly get the proof so he could focus on creating some seige weapons to prepare the wall for the first wave of demons that were currently making their way south.
Alexstrasza stunned all the guards when she walked out of the Hall. Even before Caitlyn could question her son, she had rushed over due to the commotion caused by the awakening of the class champions, she and all other guards were stunned as the beautiful woman became a large red dragon before their eyes.
They watched in shock as Cyrus jumped onto the back of the large dragon, taking off north towards the Wall after he waved and smiled at his mother.
It was an experience like no other for Cyrus, even though he could also fly using his [Flight Form] it was a different feeling riding atop a dragon. Especially one as powerful and fast as Alexstrasza was, his own flight form was like a snail compared to her. Within moments he was already beyond the Wall, he was even able to detect his siblings thru his bond to Alexstrasza.
He watched in happiness as they all worked together clearing and fighting the scourge. He watched in amazement as Robb, Oberyn and the others tore thru the undead joyfully as the casters did their thing. He watched Sansa keeping everyone healed and Shireen changing between [Bear Form] and [Cat Form] with glee as she learned how to fight as an animal. It's not as easy as you think it would be, the only reason Cyrus didn't have trouble was his past experience.
As he passed above them most all of them stopped dead in their tacks out of fear, they thought it was an enemy attack in the beginning but were surprised when Daenerys and Shireen shouted out to Cyrus. Dropping down off his dragon after she landes he approached the group. But seeing their expressions change after a moment, when he looked back he had realized they were shocked by Alexstrasza turning into her High Elf form.
Oberyn receiving a pinch from his paramour when she noticed the look he had, she too was stunned by the beautiful woman that was walking behind Cyrus.
"Hehe, so Jon. I see your dragon has gotten bigger since last time. Sucks its not big enough to ride ye-" Cyrus was instantly slapped in the back of the head by Alexstrasza cutting him off mid sentence.
The three young dragons all began to joyfully interact with Alexstrasza as she pet them. When the smaller green dragon climbed on Alexstrasza's shoulder, Alexstrasza looked to Shireen and spoke.
"Come here child, there is something this little one wishes for me to convey." Alexstrasza says as she gives Shireen an invitation to approach.
Looking to Cyrus for confirmation, upon seeing him give her a smile and nod she approached her cautiously. She had seen her true form and was a little frightened to approach.
Once she came in front of Alexstrasza, Alexstrasza lowered down to Shireens level and spoke to her gently and appreciatively.
"No need fo be afraid child, I only wanted to convey a message from this child of mine. She wishes to bond with you, she has felt your bloodline and feels you're a perfect match. She is shy and has been trying to get your attention and has been awaiting your approval. So I ask on her behalf, if you don't wish too yo-" But she was quickly and excitedly cut off by Shireen in her excitement.
"Yes! Yes I would be more than happy to." Shireen answered with the biggest smile they had seen on her yet.
Right after hearing her response, the green dragon jumped from Alexstrasza and onto Shireen who quickly caught the dragon in her arms giving it a hug. She had wanted one of the dragons, she had seen the little one in her arms staring at her but she had thought it didn't like her. She had wanted a companion like Bran, Ygritte, Jon and Daenerys. Ygritte had tamed a frost leopard while Bran had his direwolf already along with a Raven.
Feeling the bonding process occuring and feeling the dragon getting larger as the connection was being built, but even with its size growing she didn't feel it get heavier which amazed her.
Cyrus and Alexstrasza watched with large smiles at Shireens happy mood, then remembering his goal in coming here he quickly used his ability to sense undead to find the closest undead. After locating a strong undead Abomination, since he didn't want to bring one of the weaker ones due to wanting to make the biggest impact, he cast [Shackle Undead] on the Abomination and quickly loaded it after using a shrink ray on it and loading it into his prepared enchanted chest.
Upon completing the task he informed them of his plans to be in his workshop to prepare the Wall as much as possible before the tourney. Plus he knew that the tourney would also be where a lot could go wrong, especially from the Citadel and the Faith of the Seven. Even with the Scourge proof they could try to spin it in their favor, so he would prepare for worst case scenario. He felt a few people would be dead by the end of the tourney and subsequent announcement of war with the dead.
Before leaving to head to his workshop he headed further north to meet with the Brynden Rivers and the last of the Children of the Forest.
He wouldn't allow the Lich King the power boost from recently deceased Children of the Forest. He already raised ones who had been killed long ago making them into dangerous and powerful undead.
