Viserra Fifth Moon, 89 AC The storm had delayed them. Viserra felt the wind blowing through her hair and the rain lashing onto her cheeks. Her father and brothers had laid their dragons down near Greenstone Castle but Viserra had chosen to land Dreamfyre near the port. Near the men of her house. The Velaryon fleet had moored near Estermont, receiving its last supplies from skiffs rowing from the jetty as they waited for the storm to pass. Everywhere she looked, the Velaryon seahorse proudly flew, prancing…- 606.6 K • Completed
- Cirion could only stare in horror. There was no name, in Sindarin nor Quenya, for that which stood before him. The Men of the West had never had the misfortune to encounter one before but those they ruled, the Casterrim, and the ever elusive Children had called them the Others, White Walkers. Cirion drew his sword, and so too did Aglaran beside him. There would be no time to string their bows. With a sudden burst of speed, the Other charged at them, deftly sweeping and thrusting its blade. Elegant,…

- "Are you sure about this?" Túrin asked as they walked out of the prison. He had thought Jaenara had come up with some elaborate plan that involved them busting out of the prison in a blaze of dragonfire. The truth was far less exciting. Jaenara had used her position as a dragonlord to get a visit to see him in the middle of the night. The plan had them walking right up to Terrax, and then flying off. "Just like that? You sure it's going to work? I'm quite certain that they would think something is off if…

- Third Moon, 109 AC Gael Targaryen "Well here comes another useless bootlicker," her husband complained. Gael turned her eyes to the supposed licker of boots in question, Lord Otto Hightower of Highwatch, Governor of the Stepstones. She smirked at her husband. "You were the one who decided you wanted to attend court today. You could have been drinking with your cronies and captains out in the city instead." Daemon returned her smirk. "You would have complained if I did that." Gael smiled softly. "And you…

- Second Moon, 132 AC Baela With a dragon's eye view, she soared over all the lands. Years of experience and training allowed her to bend the candle and its rebellious light to her will with ease but it still needed focus. At any moment the candle could drag her mind across the whole world and away from what she wished to see. In the aftermath of that day and with glass candle scrying to ensure the remaining Targaryens would not sally forth and challenge them, Jacaerys, Laena, Corlys, Baelor, Jaenara,…

- "In all the long years of Arnor's history, the most feared of their weapons has always been their bows. It was said that the Men of Sea send before them a great cloud, as a rain turned to serpents, or a black hail tipped with steel; and in those days the great cohorts of the King's Archers wielded bows made of hollow steel, with black-feathered arrows a full ell long from point to notch. These were the greatest bows in the world, stronger even then the famed goldenheart bows of the Summer Isles or the…

- 3000 E.L. "Do you yield?" Argeleb asked. Arvedui scowled slightly when he looked at the sword pointed at his throat. "Yes I yield." "Excellent, I do believe that makes the score four hundred to none. An impressive figure If I do say so myself." "Yeah, if you're the one with four hundred." Arvedui retorted as he got up from the ground. Four hundred was likely an underestimation of Argeleb's victories against Arvedui in the training yard. After all, it was Argeleb who trained Arvedui in the way of the sword…

- Braavos burned throughout the day, the following night, and into the next day. It was only in the afternoon of the second day that the fires had at last gone out. In its wake only ruin and destruction were left, that and a steady stream of refugees. Despite their wanton destruction, the Valyrians had not destroyed the aqueduct, which countless fleeing refugees had used to make their way to their position. In time the area had been filled with refugees with the group they had formed being just one among…

- Tenth Moon, 114 AC Jacaerys "They're opening another vault?" Baela asked. "It seems so. I'm thinking of taking a trip down there to watch as the survey team goes in this time," Jace replied. "This time? You mean every time. You always do that," Baela teased. "Can you blame me? It's the most exciting thing that happens these days," Jace retorted. Why would he not want to follow along to see how the exploration and excavation efforts were going? Overseeing the daily tasks and chores of their camp like…

- First Moon, 102 AD (1 AC) The Ranger Commandant Crowley and his fellow Rangers watched from a distance as the King and Queen blasted through the Golden Tooth with their dragons. The sight of Balerion and Meraxes in all their awesome power never failed to amaze him.

They were under the command of Lord Roger…
