let's see today's wtif an of the dread he was dying Valyrian could feel in his old bones after hundreds of years death had come for him at long last he could cling on for a while longer he knew persisted perhaps a few years more before his body finally failed him but what point was there many of his kith and kin were long dead only a fading Legacy remained Egan his first Rider long ped meager his second had followed soon thereafter his third the prince visores was a weak man who had only ridden him once and never dared again beger his only living sibling from the day of hatching was far from here she at least might mourn his death but she'd never reach him in time no matter how hard she flew it was time a small part of him mourned this ignoble end if he was to die he wished to Die Hard going out in a blaze of glory not to Simply wither and waste away into old age there was no glory in this death he was the dread a Lord of Dragons last to see old valyria before the doom and yet now he could scarcely lift his wings let alone his head his fire had faded only Embers remained you too huh valan creaked an ancient eye open a man stood before him at least the old worm assumed it was such he was so bright almost blindingly so he burned like the sun itself belan could not see his face his own weakened Vision coupled with a man's Radiance made it impossible back in his prime he would have snapped him up in a single bite now it was all he could do to growl easy now the man drawled I'm not here to fight I was wondering what I sensed all the way out here he laid a golden Palm on his snout strange man who was he what did he want valan rumbled a question I've lived a long time too you know the man's forehead touched his scales too long everyone I ever knew is dead and gone but you you remember me won't you I think as palom pulsed there could be no other word for it not that you need this more than I do here take it take it all strength flowed into ban bride and heady to Shimmer beneath his bones his fading fire blazed a new his eyes shimmering with molten flame he felt young again powerful there we go a life for a life the golden man sagged against him dimmer than before make good use of it here at last thean glimpsed blue eyes framed by whisker cheeks and blonde hair streak through with gray live on a little longer will you live the old man grinned up at him fingers weaving together forming a strange series of symbols he couldn't comprehend and someday we'll see each other again the light flared one last time so bright that ban was forced to close his eyes against it when he opened them again the man of light was gone only a battered head headband remained many years later she was dying BR o could feel it feel her body tearing open on the birthing bed every instant was painful every second Agony torment upon torment peing as she screamed damn that demon aox upon that Targaryen bastard she'd only laid with him once once and he'd brought this upon her she' gotten him drunk out of spite on their wedding day if only to teach him a lesson even the veil sheep are prettier he' said ha she' wanted to make him eat those words uglier than a sheep was she ha she'd shown him da so she thought at the time more fool her she hadn't been able to rid herself of this child his child oh she had tried at first she tried and tried and tried but day by day week by week month by month the life within her only grew stronger eventually she'd given up now she would bring this child into the world if only to spite him push my lady the Midwife urged her you must push Ray did so with a howling Scream one she was certain all of runstone heard by the old God and knew the pain it went on and on and on Without End her hands fisted in the sheets as she prayed for release at long last an angry way lanered her almost as angry as she was she slumped against her pillows spent dimly she heard the master's voice it's a boy my lady the son pity she'd hoped for a girl let me see him soon enough the cord was cut and he was pressed into her arms wrapped in clean blue linen she touched his face with trembling fingers his complexion was healthy while his hair pale almost silvery blonde his eyes a deep striking Violet on Blue odd were those whiskers on his cheeks Ray tried to speak his name the one she thought of for him but she couldn't something compelled her to say another nuto her tongue betrayed her as surely as the realm had his name is Naruto Bray held him in her arms rocking him to and fro he stared up at her and grew quiet almost eily so odds above she felt so faint I'm so tired I'm so tired her eyes began to droop despite her best attempts to keep them open the dragon's Roar shook the keep and hauled her back from the brink her heart leaped into her throat and not at all in a good way she clutched her son close to her breast ignorant of the delighted noise he made no it couldn't be she'd not said a word to anyone kept herself in seclusion the moment her belly began to swell the hand of the king could have spies here surely so how how she heard raised voices heavy footfalls coming closer now the door flung itself open and night fell through and he walked over their stunned form don't get up on my account there it was that voice that damn indefatigable voice so smug so arrogant pla in full armor and smelling of dragon demon Targaryen marched into the room helmet tucked under one he took one look at her then at the Babe in her arms and her bloody bed and his smile faded he looked as horrified as she felt right now Ry took some bitter pleasure in that for once in his life the prince was utterly speechless good served him right what do you want she rasped at him come to humiliate me again again he took a single silent step forward heedless of her glare the master stepped aside for him coward no one dared defy a Targaryen least of all the air to the Iron Throne she tried to turn away but he was too quick he tugged the cloth back from the babe and saw his face his eyes his hair she heard the sharp intake of breath that followed it was a mercy he didn't drip the boy from her arms then and there he would soon she knew she'd lost too much blood it had been a difficult birth too difficult she could see her words going dark at the edges feeling herself slipping away I hope you're happy spite flashed in his eyes as she sneered at him you've killed me this boy your boy killed me demon looked to the master the man shook his head his silence infuriated Rey nothing to say she snarled he looked at her at last not for what it's worth I may not have loved you but I never wished this upon you his words rattled her more than she cared to admit I didn't want you to die not like this lies deceit and trickery a fine job you've done then silence was his answer no she wouldn't let these be her last words the boy's name is Naruto Ray could feel herself growing faint now blood loss at last taking its toll you take care of him you hear she grabbed at his arm clasping it with trembling fingers and shoved her son at him don't you dare cast him aside promise me demon for once in your miserable spoiled life do the right thing promise me tell me you'll protect him say you'll keep him safe promise me his gaze flitted to the babe his grip shifted to hold him cradling him Ray could hold on no longer she fell into the darkness their final thoughts lay with her boy he had to live he must live a son he had a son demon hadn't expected a son what in the nine Hells was he going to do with a son what could he do that blasted [ __ ] had left him with one final insult this was all her fault he hadn't thought much of one night of drunken passion why would he when he hadn't heard from her since he'd wanted nothing to do with her at the time nor she him he'd only found out about the birth purely through chance I am that slithering snake of a high tower he remembered the smirk on his face the smile when he told him I understand congratulations are in order he cuffed him on the jaw and flown straight here on caraxes just in time to watch her die damid damn to the seven Hells if he had known the damn Royce woman was with child before this he thought would have done nothing a nasty little voice his voice whispered to him you hated her she hated you and you ha you don'tk want to be a father let us kill the boy and be done with it demon recoiled he' done many things many dark Deeds but to kill a baby a boy with his blood what am I to do with you at a loss he gazed down at the infant he was no father in truth he never wanted to be yet for him to have a son well visores his own brother struggled to produce one it felt like Destiny he was still The Heir which would make this boy his Heir So Silent the boy wasn't making a sound he was just looking at him my Lord BL he'd forgotten all about the Meer stealing himself he tucked the boy against his chest and marched up to the old man the masterer stood his ground bulked a little as he pressed the Babe into his arms find a nurse for him he commanded as soon as heun's fit to travel he'll be brought to kingk Landing high above he heard caraxes Roar in Triumph Valyrian woke slowly age had left his old bones sore Slumber moreso but here at last he was awake he' felt something just now an old Tremor in his ancient bones curious there has been a shift in the world an Awakening he felt it so far so distant yet he knew it all the same he had clung to his life in the hopes of feeling that presence once more slept to Marshall his Newfound strength so many years of sleep waking only to eat stretch his wings and rest again he hadn't flown in Years yet he had lived and now he felt it his return the man who had given his life for his Born Again into the world he wasn't the only one to notice he could hear the dragons down in King's Landing their cries is echoing from the dragon pit across the Seven Kingdoms carax is in Veil roaring at the mountains vager from her distant perch even that damnable Rog down in Dragonstone he who feasted upon their own kind all the dragons cried out to celebrate his birth valan laid his mighty head down upon the coast and contented himself to wait perhaps he had reason to live a while yet they would soon meet again may they meet again aen and there we go well did you enjoy it y or nay really need to hear back from you all here as ever the ember's rule remains sad as that may sound it's the truth if folks don't like the story well it won't be continued most likely I leave the first chapter up and consign the rest of the Void it comes to that I haven't the time to write something folks don't like two jobs keep me terribly busy as such that I have barely any time to write so in the immortal words of atlas. review would you kindly and as ever La warning spoiler spoiler spoiler plot details of Hoy he be warn granted some are pretty far in the future but still preview the heavens shook I don't fear fire it's quite comfortable really no what I fear is the dirt being lowered into a box my body left a rod that would be my fate why not Bond yourself to a dragon many of them seem quite fond of you his son smirked idly stroking CK's chin the one I want still has a rider demon corked a brow oh you know the one he watched the boy fling up a fish watching now as the bloodworm snapped it up which one indeed not caraxes certainly and not cax sea smoke wasn't a factor either only the gods knew where vager was these days and he'd already refused verm which left realization dawned He barked a laugh you certainly don't lack ambition do you what's the point in giving peasants money it's [ __ ] flea bottom a bit of coin won't change that then I will make it better nuto looked left nuto looked right made certain no one was near no guards in the dead of the night then he raced up the wall running Full Tilt stay away from my daughter Allison can spend her free time however she wishes Demon's bastard son grinned at him she isn't your slave whatever you might think it was time for the first time in decades Here and Now valan spread his wings and took flight fill him you fools he's just a boy you have swords use them the boy doesn't move like that oh Gods here he comes again bengan blood spattered the wall I greet you he who is loved by dragons our is Ides where men believe it resides it's a trick a shadow on the wall anyone can cast a large Shadow especially that child Bera tugged on his arm this way Nito sighed such an impatient little cousin I have Renegade it was something wrong with his son by the time demon noticed it was already too late no Mady of the body this no Naruto sickness ran far deeper his boy had proven himself skilled in every subject he set himself to indeed he studied his histories and trained relentlessly spear Shield staff he mastered them all he learned to ride a horse almost as well as he did caraxes his talent with a bow and blade were unsurpassed with his wit Thrice as sharp not yet 17 and he already spoke Valyrian as if he'd been born to it and got on well with his younger cousins and yet for all that he was kind too kind by half deman knew it visores knew it and he was certain that kado high tower did as well today was no different he found the boy down in the dragon pit as he often did these days fussing over caraxes there was some iron to be had there caraxes despised most people even other targaryens he'd eaten men for glancing at him before and yet he tolerated Naruto more than that the bloodworm allowed him to feed him and clean his scales a feat denied even the most stoic of dragon keepers at this very moment he had him eating out the palm of his hand like some muing hatchling although they weren't bonded the slender dragon was always happy to see him most dragons acted like that in his presence what advisories called him once he who is loved by dragons sometimes that title work him more than he cared to admit why not Bond yourself to a proper Dragon he called out to him as he approached Gods know you're old enough now many of them seem quite fond of you why his son looked up with a smirk idly stroking ks's Crimson Chin drawing a pleased trail from the worm as he did the one I want still has a rider demon corked a brow oh you know the one curious this was the most he'd spoken about it in years he watched a boy fling up a fish from the basket at his feet watching now as the bloodworm snapped to up with all due haste a second then a third the one he wanted still had a rider which one indeed not caraxes certainly and not cax reneir would never allow it sea smoke wasn't a factor either only the gods knew where vager was these days and he'd already refused verm which left ad realization dawned He barked a laugh and clapped his son on the back you certainly don't lack ambition do you he grinned as caraxes returned to his Feast you taught me well he certainly had had hadn't he thought that said I thinking about visiting the slums tomorrow there it was not this TR tripe again his son cared too much for the common folk they were dragons what need did they have for sheep what's the point in giving those peasants money he clicked his tongue and shook his head it's [ __ ] flea bottom a bit of coin won't change that his boy arounded on him then I will make it better he patted his shoulder you can try haven't you Nito stood his ground heedless of the still feasting caraxes in the background I heard what you did with the city watch the other day how many hands did you take how many heads did you put on a spike a glint of pearly white teeth flashed in a rare snarl I can't seem to recall didn't you need a cart to carry all their bits away careful now demon enjoyed the challenge but he didn't like his tone just now that was different how his boy his stubborn proud defiant boy squared his shoulders stood his ground and lifted his chin to look up at him you put those criminals in their place which was all well and good but you did it with no thought to the families Left Behind how will they fend for themselves now this is the right thing to do was it he disagreed but he saw the fire in the boy's eyes dot you're going to be stubborn about this aren't you that depends demon cocked his head on how much of an ARS you're going to be today Naruto shook his hand free with a huff and stormed off the Rogue Prince followed his son with a weather eye and where do you think you're going somewhere far away from you came the irritated shout as you wish but stay away from that high Tower girl the long finger Rose to deliver a snarky salute deman watched him go with a shake of the head there would be no stopping him today who kind this son of his far too kind by half hopefully it wouldn't get him killed 0.0.0 aruto loved kingk Landing not the politics he disdained those but rather the people so many places to see so many secrets to far it out so much to do for if kingk Landing was his home then the red keep was truly his oyster what an oyster it was he'd always craved a large family and now here in his second life he finally had one such a large family demon aside he had his uncle viser aunt Emma and little cousin rira to say nothing of his Valerian relations and of course the dragons one mustn't forget the dragons so many dragons even after all these years he still hadn't bonded with one despite having his pick of the lot because you see he only sought him the one the greatest of them all Lord of Dragons thean the black dread lived he was nowhere to be found in King's land in these days not anymore he had outgrown the dragon pit ages ago and flown far away leaving his last living Rider behind doubtless most thought him dead still he sensed him all the same out there somewhere to the east distant but strong tired yet alert watching or perhaps he was waiting he couldn't be sure and saving his life on that fateful day long ago he' forged an unbreakable bond with that weary old Worm but bonder no he had no true way of communicating with him at this distance much less summoning him Delan would return when he wished not before and when he finally did not well those were thoughts for another time but before that he skirted a pair of handmaidens in the hall daring a quick smile in their wake is that him he's proper handsome sh HHH quiet he'll hear you the ghost of a smile touched the corner of his mouth a quick look back sent them screaming in a gaggle of Giggles he was well aware of their fleeing Whispers in their Retreat just as he knew what others called him behind his back for if his father was the Prince then he was the Renegade the reprobate the fanciful fool who threw money at flea bottom who would rather talk than fight and U tried to make everything better ha A renegade indeed he quite liked that title the irony stuck let them think about what they liked he hardly cared a distant glimmer of light in a nearby Tower window caught his eye a lone candle was burning within um he tilted his head toward it testing the evening Breeze with one finger winds howling today wonder if she's awake AI looked at the tower of the hand and grinned the hour was late the sun beginning to set painting the red keep in deep shades of blood and Omen perhaps he shook his head to clear it the Meandering stride carried him toward the tower curious shouldn't there be guards on duty at this hour yet he saw no one nuta looked left Naruto looked right made certain no guards were near no one to see nor hear then he raced up the wall running Full Tilt 0.0.0 once more Allison lit the candle tonight it had become something of a ritual for her in recent years a habit she picked up when she was very small and spent her first nights in the red keep every night she left a burning candle at her open window every night she burned the wick down to nothing the ACT brought her some small semblance of comfort these days like a tiny spark raging against the dark having trouble SLE p i n g by the seven Alice and yelped and nearly jumped clean out of her green dress must you do that every bloody time yes we must the prince grinned at her as he swung his way in through the window careful to avoid the candle there oh don't make that face you missed us thought she really had he'd been gone for so long this time she thought he might not return from Dragonstone how he read her so easily she knew not demon son was a bit of an odd dragon even among his own kind she didn't quite understand how he got in and out of her quarters so easily surely no one could climb the towers so quickly as he frankly he made even less sense than rira these days oh Gods he was giving her that look again she curled a brow at him and spoke quickly if only to avert his G the Royal we is it burito grinned at her set the candle aside and sketched a deep bow knee bent and one arm to his chest the very same she felt her lips Quirk into a small smile despite it all you shouldn't be here at this hour if my father saw you he stood and rolled his eyes he' piss and moan stamp his feet and do nothing what about it such an odd dragon de seared through her face and turned her ears red she didn't know what the prince saw in her let alone what compelled these nighttime visits of his father would not approve he didn't like demon or his son it would take much to change that and yet if things didn't change if King viser is never had a son no she mustn't think that such thoughts were foul the most treacherous of treason distractions she needed to distract herself now more than ever how was Dragon Stone wet and warm and boring nuto Drew I thought we could work on your High Valyrian again tonight he picked up the candle from the window sill paced past her to the bed snatching a heavy T from the table as he went in a matter of moments he was sad upon it the T spread open upon his legs well the prince looked at her what are you waiting for Allison pulled a face idly ringing her hands as she resisted the urge to pick at her fingernails you know I'm not very good hence the lessons he set the candle down and thumped an open Palm between the pages come on where's the harm everywhere sitting right before her OD are you really that afraid of me alicent nuto ran his hand over the candle as he spoke idly curling his fingers into a fist before opening them again the motion was strangely hypnotic no matter how long his hand lingered over the Open Flame it did not burn his flesh did not blacken and Char nor did his sleeve burst into flame pale tongues of fire passed over his palm leaving him unharmed the spider best effort Allison found her gaze lingering she'd seen this feat before and wondered how he did it a trick perhaps for all their claims to the contrary not all targarian were immune to Fire and what of you she sat beside him her free hand touched him aren't you afraid of of being burned I don't fear fire he hummed idly staring into the flame it's quite comfortable really no those bride orbs swung back to her Haunting in their intensity what I fear is the dirt being lowered into a box my body left to rot he shook his head with a ruul sigh that would be my fate their fingers curled around his just a hint Just a Touch then what is your fate Theo smiled a little at that would you like to know he was so close to her so very terribly close Allison found her self leaning forward wait he held up his hand she flinched what Nudo kept his hand up but his gaze was no longer on her do you hear that Allison cocked her head I don't hear anything nothing at all he let go of her that's just it I don't hear anything his eyes widened oh no he was still speaking when the door to her room burst open ripped from its hinges by a powerful blow men boiled in swords in hand stunned though she was by the sudden intrusion Alice and had time enough to count them five clad all in black rough men dangerous men not her father's men what were they doing here where were the guards how had they gotten pass them how oh Gods she saw the blood on their blades and she knew there she is the leader a great giant of the man thrust a beefy finger at her that's the one take her she'll fetch a fine price one of them looked at nuto that's the bloody Prince heun's not supposed to be here doesn't matter a third muttered heun a witness kill him Alison shrieked guards help the moment she cried out Naruto sprang up and flung his book at the nearest man it struck the fool in the chest less so too did the dagger that followed in its wake the wouldbe killer pitched back steel sprouting from his right eye his corpse crashed into one of his fellows dead before he struck the floor and then the prince was among them a single leap carried him forward at speed close enough to catch a second man unawares well before he could bring his blade to Bear he kicked upright with a wordless gnarl caught him by the skull and dashed it against theall wall bashed his head in pulping it against the stone and drawing his sword in the same instant steel sang from its sheath he flung The Borrowed blade across the room it skewered a third in the throat he dropped with a wet gurgle the remaining Duo paused taken back by his sudden savagery fill him you fool the leader braid heun just a boy you have swords use them the second stepped back a boy doesn't move like that oh Gods here he comes again bengan Allison didn't truly see what happened next not she glimpsed a shining something in the prince's hand and then another man was gone reduced to Grizzly red chunks upon the ground spattered in blood the leader bellowed a challenge and lunged forward Nudo swept his legs cuffed him hard across the jaw and dropped him like a sack of potatoes he fell like a stone stricken senseless but well alive all this is in an instant Allison crumpled to her knees stunned by it all oh her dress it was ruined spattered in blood Theo stood wiped a bit of blood from his face then I looked at her I'm going to get the guards do you trust me Allison sputtered still dazed what he offered her a bloody hand do you trust me trembling fingers curled around him and held tight dot yes arunk bloody face dimpled in a small smile then don't let go he took her by the hand and swept her into his arms then he ran aen bit of a Twist this time around ah but who sent those men who indeed and there we go hope you enjoyed this mad little chapter well should this be continued what say you y or nay really need to hear back from you all here as ever the ember's rule remains sad as that may sound it's the truth if folks don't like this story well it won't be continued most likely I leave the first chapter up and consign the rest of the Void it comes to that I haven't the time to write something folks don't like two jobs keep me terribly busy as such that I have barely any time to write so by all means speak up your voice matters make yourself heard as ever reviews are the fuel that sustains me without them I cannot write a single word simple as that working nearly all hours of the day keeps me absurdly busy and I can't bring myself to write something folks don't like now then in the immortal words of atlas. review would you kindly and as ever La warning spoiler spoiler spoiler plot details of hoi he be warned granted some are pretty far in the future but still preview uncle viser was Furious an attack in my own home Who Dares the Iron Throne nuto had never seen such an uglier chair in all his life ugly perhaps but powerful all the same the greatest seed in all the realm the Throne of the king highest of all bringing Seven Kingdoms to heal pity his uncle was so weak King viser was a good man to be sure the realm had never seen better since the reign of jih heres himself but he lacked the strength of his predecessor he ran an idle hand over it with a sigh how could anyone want this Lena tugged at his sleeve I've been dreaming of her again boo this little cousin smiled vager Bera tugged on his arm this way burito sighed such an impatient little cousin I have thean bolted upright with a gasp breams again miseria smiled and patted his cheek come back to bed my love my wife and son are dead I will not suffer crows that come to Feast upon their corpses did you say it the Boy Might make a suitable alternative to demon given the right leverage how so I have decided to name a new Heir I'm your Heir not anymore stay away from my daughter bison can spend her free time however she wishes Demon's bastard son grinned at him she isn't your slave whatever you might think it was time for the first time in decades Here and Now valan spread his wings and took flight a shadow blotted out the sun peasants screamed Lords and Ladies cowered in fear aan smiled throughout it all that's my boy dark words an attack in my own home who would do such a thing viser and the small Council were Furious rightly so Naruto would have been Furious with them if they weren't anger was to be expected after such a Brazen attack horror only natural but the outrage he glimpsed on the faces assembled before him only cemented his own he'd brought himself and a bloody Allison before them with evidence in hand the rest as they say was history now it fell to them to puzzle out the culprit that said he'd never seen his uncle quite so angry before righteous anger was a good look for visores it made him look like a king indeed he seemed all of an instant from drawing his sword stalking down to the black cells and having a word with the surviving prisoner himself the man would suffer come mourning nuto almost pied them almost do you see now Lord valerian's face was darker than thunder the triarchy has grown too bold they strike at us from the stepstones here his fist thumped down on the table in the very heart of kingk Landing we must double know triple the guard for the turny should the Lords of weros learn of this viser he to sigh they will nod bloody OS Otto spat the word like a curse they've grown bold too bold if they think they can strike at us here agreed demon leaned back in his chair say the word brother and I'll bring fire to the stepstones aruto curled a brow Miracle of Miracles were they actually agreeing on something and then Otto ruined everything by turning a pointed glower father's way oh demon slouched in his seat you think I had a hand in this of course you'd accuse me you miserable fool you blame me for everything always my son was there my son saved your daughter a lopsided smile tugged at the corner of his mouth I dare say you owe him some gratitude perhaps you should be kissing his boots Vis turned to look his way you FR them off alone this time he didn't bother to conceal his smile I was well taught demon pred in his chair Lionel strong granted him a grave nod I would expect no less the king granted him a careworn smile well done nephew of mine the hand of the king took the insult with good grace and looked at him instead do you recall anything they said anything at all arudo grimaced yes he did did he dearly wished he had they said she would fetch a high price Allison whimpered and tucked herself tighter against his side all but burying her head in his shoulder she hadn't let go of his hand since he'd first fed her out the tower not once he couldn't even blame her the poor girl was shaken by her brush with death anyone in their right mind would be an absent hand stroked the back of her head as the Lords of Westeros denigrated back into baseless bickering as they did a small cynical part of him began to wonder who might best stand to benefit from an attack iSeries no his uncle was a good man a kind man and sadly a weak man he would never sanction such a thing demon might seem The Logical conclusion due to his dislike of Otto but again there was a flaw there too if demon knew he and Allison were growing F of one another he'd laugh himself silly he likely already suspected it everyone would after today's display who would want her kidnapped then grandm Mellows unlikely he had nothing to gain from any of this he looked positively as Shen indeed he hadn't said a word master of coin Lyman bees Berry the man was old but he was a firm adherent to the rule of law master of laws liel strong honorable decent an ally of visores another good man master of ships corley's Valyrian now there was a chance the man was ambitious and he undoubtedly stood to benefit now that the Crown's anger was focused firmly on the stepstones drif mark would Prosper once the triarchy was burned out of there but was he bold or desperate enough to risk such a Gambit solely for the sake of his ambition by that very logic was Otto would he really endanger his own daughter to further his own aims if he hadn't been theery would have taken her there could be no doubt about that only everything else the guards had been gone but he'd seen Blood on the attacker swords had they fought their way into the keep or been LED in killing those who weren't complicit questions upon questions riddles upon riddles it was enough to make his headache he wanted to sleep but there would be none of that today enough visores brought a fist crashing down on the table in a rare show of force responding to something he hadn't heard Lord Corley we shall tend to the stepstones after the tney tomorrow you have my word still speaking he craned his neck to the left demon the Prince of the City sat a bit straighter in his chair eyes Al light brother how many men can you muster on such short notice the grin 10,000 should suffice Lord Valyrian rallied alongside him I can rally at least half that much then let it be done he rose from his chair and the others followed with a bow all of you be on your guard his Keen gaze raked over each of them in turn watch over your children we cannot allow this to happen again on that they were in agreement maybe he should check in on his other cousins if someone was bold enough to strike ATK own daughter reira and Lena might be marked as well he suppressed a shiver at the thought neither would be able to defend themselves attacking the daughter of the hand of the King was one thing but if they went further shuddered to think of the consequences viser was a weak man a good man but wo to the fool who tried to lay hands on his famili was then that weak men were at their strongest the shadow fell over him as the other Lords filtered out distracted as he was he didn't realize who Allison hugged him fiercely leave us my daughter Otto high tower loomed over him blocking his path you've more than earned your rest the implications were left unspoken she faltered father please I merely wished to speak with him her eyes flitted between them nuto wondered if she'd stick up for herself she found her resolve at the last second bowed her head and kissed his cheek his eyes widened and surprise but she was already gone scampering out the open doors a lone King's Guard peeled off to escort her on her way even then Otto didn't speak until she rounded the bend I would like you to stay away from my daughter your presence endangers her Allison can spend her free time however she wishes nuto lifted his chin to scowl up at him she isn't your slud of her you might think she is no slave of mine our hearts are as one nothing more he had a blonde brow is that all you have to say to me if I hadn't been there she would have been on a barge to slaver's Bay by now 's jaw clenched as he looked on muscles working wordlessly as he tried to master himself he wondered if the man was about to have a stroke you have me thanks he bit the words out at last for my daughter's safe return Bo oh he was going to milk this I and you love her it wasn't a question well damn he hadn't seen that one coming nuto reeled back on his heels a little unprepared for the sudden statement did he it had been so long since he thought of such things he was sure he knew what love was anymore not after his first life he felt like he could learn to in time but love it was much too soon for that for now he enjoyed her company I'm fond of her he retorted at length would you protect her but my life her father wore a grim smile good wait good why did he feel like he just walked into a trap he shook his head no enough he'd given a on more ground than he intended time to go this has certainly been a stimulating conversation but I think I had enough for one day Naro what do you want exactly what do I want he paused to look over his shoulder how about peace how does peace sound Lord hand a Furrow RIT otk face you just I don't he pivoted back to face him I simply want peace but on your terms the older man countered he Shrugged my terms are good terms this part said he walked away so long as your father remains air there will be no peace the words caught at him he paused blew a quick breath out and willed his anger to go with it it's such a sad thing isn't what is how little you trust people he rubbed two fingers together tutting softly you claim to serve the realm but so often you choose to see the worst in people not the best is it any wonder you're so paranoid you won't live long with an attitude like that he kept walking this time Otto didn't call out ha Checkmate he'd been like that toward the end of his last life old tired paranoid in his last go around he'd lived too long a long life memorable perhaps yet still lacking all the same he'd outlived his people his culture his very civilization watched his friends and family fade away no more this time it would all be his it was almost funny really once upon the time he would have found the very idea of two lives absurd he'd used that forbidden once and he didn't think he'd ever be able to again but now he is happy here so he had to win win it all no matter what demon caught him before he could complete his Escape or rather his hand did he was first made aware of his presence by the hand on his shoulder as he left the council chambers steering him away from the door he side added you're still going to compete tomorrow I trust he set his mouth in a firm line I intend to good his father squeezed his shoulder make me proud a pause followed as some indiscernible emotion flashed across his face I ambled you are unharmed he drew him into a bruising Embrace and squeezed him fiercely Naruto found himself returning it that was as much affection as he could expect given what had happened I taught you well boy if anyone comes for you I leave one alive to question his brow furrowed what's going to be done with the prisoner oh I suspect they'll be quite talkative once we're through with them Nudo blinked we deman patted him on the back nothing you need to concern yourself with I don't know a man's whale split the black cells interrogation by fire was a terrible thing to behold Eman found a certain Poetic Justice in the Flames one had to be careful with them hot enough to burn but not powerful enough to consume banked to just the right temperature to torment without taking the victim's ability to speak it was a fine art one you could only perfect through practice given enough work fire could inflict Horrors that would have Bloody boltons quaking in their boots he had years of it and right now he was too terribly angry as boy his Heir his son nearly slain snatched away never to be heard from again why just thinking of it threatened to send his temper pitching over the edge which made him more than a bit aggressive at the moment Lu sent you he extinguished a burning brand and laid it down on the table considering the scorched man strapped to it answer truthfully now or you will die screaming I don't know his victim thrashed against the table straining in their shackles I swear by all the seven by all the old gods and the new a mask man gave us a bag of coins and told us where to go that's all the knife slammed into his thigh not good enough perhaps we should use Wildfire he twisted the blade in their flesh grating it against bone to draw forth a Keening cry or would you prefer to to feed caraxes wordless gibbering answered him no no no that wouldn't do you see you didn't just anger me oh no you angered quite a few Lords with your stunt one in particular he turned to face a shadowy corner what do you say he doesn't seem keen on talking perhaps you care to try your luck AOH high tower stepped out of the Gloom and Drew his belt knife this is your last chance tell us what we need to know or the burning continues the man warbled I don't know unfortunately I don't believe you the Fresh Cream pervaded the black cells peaking higher and higher until it broke under the cover of darkness two hooded figures met in flea bottom their men failed the first remark proved damning of course they failed the second smiled they were meant to did they know that I wonder the silence proved most telling one was taken prisoner the taller of the two tutted as we knew he would be and if he talks what of it the fool never saw our faces he knows nothing no less than nothing likewise the king remains in the dark the first turned away with a scowl the prince should not have been there I warned you he might be you were the one who chose to act but the boy might make a suitable alternative to demon given the right liage how so the first told the second I see the second side then it continues I the plant still continues they parted in silence cousin say what you would about little Lena valaran but she was an energetic child scarce had Naruto crossed the threshold into her room then she was upon him with a cry leaping in a swirl of silk and dark skin he caught her in his arms with a grunt spun her around once and set her down on her feet it didn't stop her from Fring over him anxious eyes flitted across his face and arms searching for any sign of injury you're all right of course I am he laughed batting her hands away why wouldn't I be father told me bad men tried to kill you they did he granted her a grave nod they failed she tilted her head reminding him of a curious Dragon he'd once seen because you killed them first because I killed them first he tussled her pale hair and flung himself into a nearby chair opting to spare her the grizzly details the poor girl was only 12 let her stayed pure a little while longer where's your brother you mean lener she plunked down beside him heun in the gardens with father he wants to send him back to drift mark on the next tide little hands rung together clenching fretfully said it wasn't safe for him here a muscle jumped in his jaw and yet he'd leave Lena behind that seemed cruel even for him Lena was his Heir the Dragon rer next to inherit drift Mark by contrast Lena was simply the spare no Dron Rider she is not yet and no special talents to speak of Beyond an odd propensity for dreams she was simply a replacement should things go or ey it hurt him to see her diminish to such Lena tugged at his sleeve I've been dreaming again have you now he planted one elbow on the table and rested his cheek against it what of his little cousin smiled begar I saw her on a Sandy Beach far far from here she was sleeping there I think think she's waiting for me a now there was a dragon he'd like to meet she must be ancient now massive far too large for the dragon pit but there was only one Dragon for him ban was out there somewhere like an itch scratching the back of his head growing stronger every year they would meet again in the next decade if not sooner he knew it what would transpire during said meeting well that was anyone's guess who could say really for now there were other things to worry about whether the queen would deliver a boy or a girl for one she' survived so many births before this even if most of her children hand yet the King still craved a son no best not to think of that for now he turned back to Lena and flicked her forehead she robbed at it with a whine what was that for for luck I'm sure you'll find her someday he pay to see the look on Lord corley's face when his daughter turned up with a giant dragon in toe speaking of dragons he really ought to check in on beriro was looking for you by the way of course she was did she say what she wanted M mhmm little Lena nodded she said something about finding a book you were looking for on dragon sightings aha his eyes lit up best cousin ever love you bye he kissed her cheek and shot out the door like an arrow he was late why in the seven Hells was nuto always late really it wasn't fair he was always running around doing something with someone must be a boy thing someone knocked on her door cutting her thoughts short once twice once again her eyes lit up she knew that knock the NTR the door swung open revealing his smiling face rira flung a pillow added you're late she chastised him in High Valyrian I am never late he caughted and laughed using the same language I always arrive precisely when I mean to that's your excuse last time you said you were helping a blind cat across the street was protecting a different kind of kitten this time she rounded on him who his lips thinned alicent you might want to visit her after this her smile faded as the argument on her lips withered and died ah so it was wasn't a lie then she' heard a few rumors whispered by the servants but she hadn't wanted to believe them an attack here in red ke Small Wonder she hadn't seen Allison today the poor girl must be a nervous wreck I shall she granted him a nod but he stroe past her do you have it I do rira tugged on his arm this way sit nuto sighed such an impatient little cousin I have hush she brought him to her bed reached beneath the blankets and withdrew a heavy tone bearing a blood red cover I found hidden away in Father's cupboard an impish grin touched her lips I've seen him riding in it more than once finally Nito nearly hissed in Triumph as he set it down on the bed and all but wrote it open his bright eyes were already glued to the contents within if he's mentioned ban anywhere it's in here this again confusion tugged at her heart why are you so interested in ban no one has seen him in at least a decade he's surely dead by now their cousin winked her way is he Theo always said that as if he knew his fervor for finding dragons frightened her sometimes at others well best not to speak of that father likely wouldn't approve of such a match desperate to distract herself she steered the conversation to safer Waters I understand you're competing in the Jou tomorrow not competing he hummed turning another page winning there's a difference aha there it was the heart of the matter for all his claims of humility and kindness he could be proud at times she tilted her head to regard him and blew a strand of pale hair out her right eye which one all three archery the joust and the melee I've got a statement to make reality broke like a Thunderclap so that was his game this would be his first real tournament the first time the Lords and Ladies of weros saw what he could truly do on the field of battle a pleasant little thrill course through her warming her face she stamped it down with a scowl ambitious of yed unlikely there will be many season nights there for some reason that only seemed to amuse him his shoulders shook in silent mirth I certainly hope so he Lea to another page it wouldn't be any fun if they went down without a fight odds above he could be such a boy sometimes stay there he listened half-heartedly eyes still glued to the book Bera left him to it darted to her ribbon box and fiddled around inside it for a bit soon enough she found what she sought a strip of deep black cloth laced with threads of red she drew it forth shut the box and ran back to him he paid her n men dle she began to tie it around his wrist it fit just as she knew it would Bright Eyes flicked up to consider her and the little Bobble she just given him what's this my favor she pred I expect you to wear it under your armor tomorrow I don't have any say in the matter now do I you do n o t all right and thank you he kissed her forehead I'll wear it well help me read this passage here together they went back to reading the tney began with the trumpets viser certainly loved his spectacles nuto couldn't even bring himself to blame his uncle for them he was the dragon likewise he was also the crown and it was the Crown's job duty to project strength at all times but this wasm what was the word excessive yes that was the one his uncle had organized three contests of skill and honor of his Heir soon to be birth archery joust and a test of arms he was looking forward to the latter not so much the former drums and blazing with Dragons beat out a tempo as men and women wave Dragon banners from The Stance above even the announcer of these festivities had dragons stitched into his clothes dragons everywhere he looked Dragons red and black black and red red and black even his own armor today was a rich bloody Scarlet a contrast to his father's own black he hated armor it slowed him down a little the ridiculous Dragon winged helmet left his face open at that which he found even more ridiculous well I did ask for the challenge his eyes swept over the arena once more the stands were packed with Noble Lords and Ladies whose names he couldn't be bothered to remember the knights know those were a different matter if only because he saw a great many banners he knew by heart Stark Lannister Baratheon great names for great houses he also saw Bolton and of course high tower among them there was another Challenger tearing his way through the lists one Christen Cole of the stormlands the son of a steward if word was to be believed nuto son of our beloved Prince demon will select his first opponent in a test of arms ah that was his Q Showtime Bright Eyes raked over the knights assembled he could have chosen 's son but that seemed in poor taste at the moment Allison would never forgive him if he brutalized her brother not the Starks either they were D lot but he didn't have anything against them the Lannisters might be fun to smack around but not too much eventually his gaze settled on Sir Kristen Cole himself he' unhorsed both of the barathan lads already in the joust doubtless he'd give demon trouble um best to nip that in the butt early you he drew his sword and pointed at the Hedge Knight Youk do it credit where it was due the Knight bowed and hefted his weapon a flil by the look of it h he couldn't remember the last time he'd fra against a flail again metal hurdled in his face he grinned Kristen Cole was skilled very skilled he wielded that flail of his like he'd been born with it more than that he was cautious no arrogance no wasted moves no pining or postering like some proud peacock it almost reminded him oo was that it he pivoted and to his great Delight sir Kristen matched him move for move ringing the side of his helmet like a Gong gasps went up from the crowd as his ears rang he grit his teeth in a laugh and lashed out only to find himself rebuffed time and time again that stoic Shield interposed itself between him and certain defeat who was he really under that helmet he wanted to know no he needed to now faster and faster the tempo went until all he could hear was the blood rushing in his ears the hammering of his own heart how long had it been since he'd had a proper fight long too long far too long he let Coal's flail curl around his blade and yanked backward tearing it out of his grasp pivoting on one heel he Whirled and hurdled it well Out Of Reach no more of that annoying weapon the son of the steward froze unarmed at the last nuto tore his spare Blade free from his belt and flung it at his feet pick it up the Knight hesitated pick it up he all but growled the last word Cole knelled slowly never once taking his eyes off him just how much longer was he going to take come on pick it up Kristen could eye him all he liked he had no intention of ruining this moment not when he had finally found some semblance of a challenge he was going to savor This Moment In The Promise had offered at length sir Kristen stood borrowed blade in hand well met he saluted him with his sword you are a man of Honor just as I'd heard I'm really not mirroring his stance he stepped in just a man now for the Moment of Truth their blades clashed flashed and sprang apart nuto saw his opening and swung High knocking his helmet a skew and raking a bloody line across his cheek dark hair framed a tan face from which startled eyes Shone dornish the man was Doris hand and utter stranger to him it only further inflamed his confusion he himself looked different as a Targaryen this could be anyone he'd known more than a few Swordsmen in his day was he just that good or perhaps the announcer boomed his approval first blood to the prince Cole closed with him they collided in A Storm of Swords and all the world fell away to dull gray Clash clang block ripest thrust Perry sir Kristen gave as good as he got he give him that time and time again their blades collided in a dance of death and time and again they surprised him with his skill his shield was useless here he casted aside and braved his Blade with both hands the better to put more strength into his swings finally he saw his opening Cole's sword swept and landed a heavy strike on an arm steel skittered off steel as the vber shattered even as it did his eyes sparked with Triumph gotcha grinning from ear to ear he ignored the pain that spiked down his arm and followed through to sweep his legs sir Christen Cole crashed down on his back in a heap dazed eyes blinked up at him what was that that was me Naruto growled looming over him knocking your ARS to the dirt when the older man drew a knife he stamped down on his wrist planted a boot on his chest and touched the sword to his throat now yield don't make me destroy you then I yielded the Knight did so with a laugh well fought my Lord Theo squinted down at him who are you really a baffled blink just a hedge Knight my Lord was he he glared at sir Kristen searching for something a sign of chakra recognition in his eyes something anything he found nothing not a spark not an ember nothing at all you couldn't hide chakra you were born with it just as he'd been reborn with his or born without it and from Sir Kristen Cole he said nothing not a drop of it no he was normal completely utterly normal instantly he heard the crowd cheer his name as he let sir Kristen up the ladder grabbed his arm and held it high pumping his fist into the air it did him little good a swell of bitter disappointment drowned nutk hopes and choked his good mood for a moment there he'd almost hoped nearly dared to believe someone might have followed him into this reincar but now even now he was alone a thought or a bitter laugh from him he needed a drink something strong maybe a horor two to take the edge off he left the field tears stinging in his eyes Bo is alone Bo is there would be no peace while he slept only a few short hours later the realm shattered and so it finally began the first steps leading to the dance disaster struck the next morning arudo woke to a fierce pounding on his door one to match the D beating in his head go he groaned into his pillow and tired he vaguely recalled stumbling around the red keep bottle in hand until heran into tooman he'd slumped against them they'd wrapped an arm around his waist and helped him back to his room memory went fuzzy after that an arm flailed around and failed to find anyone nearby mercifully his bed was empty well thank heaven for small mercies the pounding ceased as the huge door swung open crashed really alicent he blinked clearly her face went redder than her hair as she saw his bare chest her lips moved almost numbly she's dead who is he pushed himself upright their face went redder still are you drunk hung over Naruto pmed his face don't want to talk about it who died Allison took a deep breath then she told him the queen and the world changed Argan funerals were a grim Affair Nudo had been to his fair share before in the past but never quite one like this two bodies lay upon the P before them one large the other small two lives lost in so short a time two smiling faces he'd never see again dozens of people had gathered near the capital to send them off here on a hell some miles outside the red keep just shy of the sea he found some lovely irony in that Aunt Emma had always loved the sea he hadn't known her all that well he made an effort in the past but now he found himself wishing he tried that much harder could he have done something could he have saved her he didn't know the uncertainty of it nodded him like an old dog with a bone if he'd been awake aware not drunk off his our swallowing and self-pity would they still be alive there was no way of knowing and not knowing cax loomed in the distance crouched and awaiting orders caraxes wheeled down to join her for once neither Dragon snapped at one another even they understood the solemnity of all this the kingk family had been destroyed nothing would be the same no amount of Fire and Blood could bring back the dead even now he could feel ayon staring at his back wanting to comfort him not just him but rira demon even poor visores himself too kind that girl too kind by half he heard demon whisper something to reira over his shoulder they're waiting for you nuto looked at his cousin she looked even worse than he felt her eyes red wet with unshed tears she refused to let fall stubborn little cousin even now at her lowest point she was a fierce Dragon winged perhaps by loss but refusing to viser Meanwhile look like a broken man no that was too kind Hollow eyes gazed upon the py as though he were contemplating flinging himself a to burn with his wife and infant son he didn't know what it transpired in that birthing chamber to break him so he didn't want to know if only because he knew he wouldn't like it I wonder rira spoke softly suddenly her voice a low agonized rasp during those few hours my brother lived if my father finally found happiness demon nudged her your father needs you now more than he ever has she looked away I will never be a son no you won't nuto sighed over the pain noise she made cutting her off before she could fly into a rage you must be better than one he reached over to squeeze her hand and you will be ber latched on tight and squeezed back she squeezed so hard he felt her nails bite into his skin I don't want to say goodbye her words were a whisper and don't remember your mother for who she was for how she lived not how she died she rallied a little tried to speak faltered at first rallied when he nudged her he looked at her she looked at him they looked back to the py and then together draes cax and carax is exhaled the body's burned a and the first Domino Falls and there we go hope you enjoyed this chapter well should this be continued what do you say y or nay I really need to hear back from you all here as ever the ember's rule remains sad as that may sound it's the truth if folks don't like this story well it won't be continued most likely I'll leave the first chapter up and consign the rest of the Void it comes to that I haven't the time to write something folks don't like two jobs keep me terribly busy as such that I have barely any time to write so by all means speak up your voice matters make yourself heard as ever reviews are the fuel that sustains me without them I cannot write a single word simple as that working nearly all hours of the day keeps me absurdly busy and I can't bring myself to write something folks don't like now then in the immortal words of Atlas review W you kindly and as ever L warning spoiler spoiler spoiler plot details of Hoy he be warned granted some are pretty far in the future but still griev you my wife and son are dead I will not suffer crows that come to Feast upon their corpses but you say it I have decided to name a new Heir demon bridled I your Heir not anymore I'm sorry to lay this burden upon you nephew her eyes flashed there was a spark off something there arudo wanted to act on it so very badly somehow he restrained himself he caught the crossbow bolt in his hand always loved crossbows he grinned I never used them myself they take too long to reload I on the other hand he Whirled and flung it back skewering the in the face their corpse pitched back the others bulked by turn go ahead run for it more fun for me the iron thrown nuto had never seen such an uglier chair in all his life ugly perhaps but powerful all the same the greatest seat in all the realm the Throne of the king highest of all bringing Seven Kingdoms to heal pity his uncle was so weak King vieres was a good man to be sure the realm had never seen better since the reign of jih heres himself but he lacked the strength of his predecessor he ran an idle hand over it with sigh how could anyone want this and why do I it was time for the first time in decades Here and Now Valyrian spread his wings and took flight a shadow blotted out the sun peasants screamed Lords and Ladies cowered in fear the new Heir you're leaving I am it's just as I said demon Shrugged on his pack checked dark sister in her sheath and turned to face him at the last face rid in a scowl my dear brother has seen fit to disinherit me I'm off to the stepstones to win his War for him Nudo opened his mouth to answer closed it again when his temper threatened to get the best of him mustn't lash out no matter how much he wanted to any sign of violence would be met with more violence he cast a baleful look at the paired kingk guard blocking the door effectively sealing them in it he dimly recalled their names Sir Eric and Eric of house Cargill Brothers no doubt they were here to make certain he behaved himself or see if he had any part of his father's Madness last night and what Madness it was the air for a day what was demon thinking saying that not much apparently his father had come barging in here just before Dawn to collect his things and bid his goodbyes he sailed with Lord corley's on the Morning Tide I can't believe he would do this he did demon stalked about the room like a man possessed tugging on his cloak it's already done because you said something foolish I was drunk his father pivoted on him with a wild look in his eyes and I would not have said such a thing in his presence no we both know who's responsible for this yes we do Ean squinted at him don't look at me like that I had no part in this you did he returned his glare refusing to falter you should have been by uncle's side or even riras Otto wouldn't have any ammunition to use against you if you had instead you were off getting yourself Saed of course he used that against you you gave him the perfect opportunity only a fool would ignore it deman reared back hissing like the dragon he was at heart and what would you have done hunkered down he snapped in return held my tongue and comforted them until the storm past which is exactly what I did his Lord father considered him for a long agonizing moment and where were you last night with rer the words tore out of him in a Roar and he thrust both arms forward shoving his father away from there he stomped forward smashing a booted foot down on his fathers to hold him in place lest he lung at him I held her all night she cried herself to sleep in my arms do you have any idea what that's like the tan finger shot forth digging itself into the Elder targaryen's leather curus no of course you don't how could you you only care about yourself deman flung up his arms and now you throw his words back at me I Narito bid his tongue to stifle his temper I'm sorry he didn't want them to part like this not on such a sour note how long will you in caraxes be on a bitter bark of laughter filled the air a year perhaps maybe two he Shrugged one shoulder stiffly his face a mask of tight anger perhaps once I burn crab feeder out of the stepstones the king will see fit to restore my rights nuto didn't think he would not after a slight like this an ugly thought struck him if you're not the heir then who is berer I expect demon Shrugged his shoulders wunk she be surprised she certainly would he almost pied her < I'll go with you he decided at length a quick pivot brought him to his own desk which he promptly began ransacking wek deal with the crab feeder together it won't even take it here deman's anger died a slow death on his face withering away into a strange smile nothing would please me more but you can't come with me excuse me his father looked past him to the still silent kingk guard Brothers you are to stay here by order of the king realization broke like the dawn burning all uncertainty away as a hostage to ensure your compliance deman didn't say a word he didn't have to Theo made a choking noise he could put an end to this madness he knew he absolutely could Slaughter every guard in this room without breaking a sweat it would be like carving a cake fight his way to Uncle viser make him change his mind kill him if need be he could butcher anyone and everyone who dared oppose him it would be easy so terribly easy no one knew what he was truly capable of no one could stop him and then what reality sank in seeped into his thoughts like the darkest of poisons if he shed blood here he could never take it back alicent Lena rira unbidden his mind conjured up their faces among his thoughts their heartbroken Expressions the tears in their eyes they'd think him a monster they wouldn't understand no one would he'd be the butcher who put his father on the throne by force a Madman who catapulted the realm into war one that wouldn't end until he or everyone who opposed him was dead it was a war he could would win a war that would cost countless lives but he would see the other side of many would not he blew out an angry breath I will stay I know you will demon clapped his shoulder and Drew him into a crushing Embrace he found himself returning it stiffly this wasn't what he wanted none of it was you must Harden your heart in the days to come his father whispered in his here don't let those leeches sink their teeth into you I'll be back soon enough as P said he let him go and stood stared at him for a long moment and marched to the door he swung it open and didn't look back not once not even when Sir Eric peeled off to follow him nuto glared at the door I watched it closely behind him calm he must be calm I had to be calm his right hand clenched into a fist blue eyes sparked red he wasn't calm not at all a snarl tore out of him as his fist crashed through the door frame spray in splinters in every direction once twice Thrice now until a fourth blow smashed it clean off its hinges and into the wall unsatisfied he stalked after battered wood and tore it apart beating it down until it was so much sawdust At His Feet it did precious little to assuage his temper damn it damn it damn him he hadn't asked for this for any of it someone coughed behind him only then did he realize Sir Eric hadn't yet left now what he glared bloody red daggers at him why are you still here his credit Eric at least managed to look somewhat contrite I am sorry my Lord but the king wishes to see you Nudo found his uncle standing before an altar of burning candles limed by decades worth of wax it stood as a testament to the ages a reminder of a kingdom that spanned the decades Stern and strong only growing longer and harder made ever more powerful by the passage of time some might call that important an example and warning and equal measure the house of the Dragons stood strong and proud even now more than a century after Egan's death they disagreed for him the wax represented not royalty but Rod an awful corruption that had slowly crept into the Targaryen Dynasty until it became a blight a wound that must be excised and there at top the altar stood a giant dragon skull larger than large a giant among giants fake he'd seen dragon bones before and these were not those it was good craftsmanship but he knew the real from the fake Gama would have laughed at it as it were a small despondent smile tugged at the corner of his mouth he wanted to see me uncle viser was silent for a long long ponderous moment running an open Palm over the candles Valyrian was the last living creature too to have seen old valo before the Doom here at last he looked upon the skull all its greatness and all of its flaws a moment of silence passed between the two of them what I am about to tell you is a secret it does not leave this room he turned to face him and nuto found himself winsing at just hoager the poor man looked do you understand he muttered as Ascent as skull a rusty chuckle pervaded the Crips as he looked back at him as not real shortly before his death King jir ordered this made by the finest Craftsmen the world over then had them killed to protect the secret it suits the world well to think that such a monster is dead to believe that a creature like this no longer exists arudo found himself tilting his head I had to play along here yet he does he isn't dead then no viser shook his head in agreement no he is not the black drad lives my bond with him used to be so strong he touched a candle and looked at the false skull with a ruul chuckle it has faded in recent years as has he I expect but he still persists would you believe he was last seen in Dorne only a week ago near sunspear his heart sang the journal he borrowed had mentioned that bit it is my belief that he is searching for something visor something not someone his uncle didn't know the realization shocked nuto it felt wrong to steal another man's dragon out from under him but as visor bond with ban had waned so had he continued to wax and grow ever stronger sometimes when he closed his eyes eyes he could feel the old worm as he'd once felt Karam like some silent expectation gnawing at the back of his brain as if he were waiting for some signal that he didn't know how to give was there some connection left there ah but viser was looking at him speaking once more when you look at me what do you see weakness kindness exhaustion Sadness and Sorrow nuto said the latter Fair his uncle sighed the dragons then when you look at them what are your thoughts Harden here at last his temper slipped leash you've scarcely said a word to me since Aunt Emma's funeral you banished my father to fight in the stepstones for something he said well drunk kept me captive in the red keep as a hostage against him and now you have your bloody blasted Kings guard drag me down here to talk about dragons the hostage visor is all but swelled with anger do you think so little of me boy you are my blood the bloody of old Val you are no hostage despite what your foolish father may have you think careful Naruto stood his ground idly fingering the dagger hidden up his SLE leave you may be my uncle but I won't stand by and let you insult demon please his uncle pleaded with him voice softening it's important when you think of the Dragons what do you see he looked back to the skull considering Fire and Blood viser quirked a pale brow and waved him on ber once told me something everyone says targaryens are closer to Gods than men he waved a hand at the false skull mounted at top the alter but they only say that because of our Dragons without them we're just like everyone else here so she think he lifted his chin a little to stare the older man in the eye but we are our dragons just as our dragons are us we bleed We Grow Old we die but we do not go quietly his answer seemed to mify visores for he nodded the idea that we control the dragons is an illusion he paced away from him hands clasped behind his back they are a power man never should have trifled with one that brought valyria its Doom if we don't mind our own histories it will do the same to us without warning he spun back to face him any true targar must understand this Toby King in a Flash nutk World shattered again I'm sorry to lay this burden upon you nephew his uncle stepped closer still as his mind scrambled to catch up I have HED these last years wanting a son rineer and Emma have suffered for it as has the realm but Yao you are the very best of your fa and your mother though you knew her not he flinched a little at the remark you have proven yourself to be kind caring Stern when need be yet unafraid of battle you are a just man and I believe that in time you could be a great ruling King arudo recoiled he didn't want it demons your Heir not me his uncle wouldn't be swayed your father was not made to wear the crown but I believe that you are no no no this wasn't something he'd planned for not this never ever this he could see where it was going the disaster that would follow this would start a war Lords and Ladies the world over would tear one another apart to win his affections if you want an air named rira he shook his head I don't want it you must his uncle seized him by the shoulders shocking him with the intensity of his gaze I love my daughter but she is All That Remains of her mother if I name her hair the realm will destroy her bit by bit Peace by painful peace I see that now as much as I dislike it men would sooner said everything to the torch than allow woman to seat the Iron Throne his temper sparked as he shook him off with a snarl that's no reason not to try she should be next in line viser Despair and looked to him do you believe she would make a good Queen arudo opened his mouth I closed it I opened it again now and closed it once more would she make a good Queen in all honesty he didn't know she held the right by Blood to be sure but what had she been taught not much not enough he on the other hand in his first life he ruled over an entire Village maintained peace and prosperity for his people walking the razor's Edge between Chaos and Order in his second he'd studied his histories pondered over the mistakes of kings and rulers past and become convinced that the targaryens as a whole were beginning to go mad he would not indeed he was uniquely positioned to prevent such a thing riro was not as far as he knew his cousin didn't even want to inherit she wanted well he knew her once very well she told him them she wanted to fly with Allison on dragonback see the great wonders across the narrow sea and eat only cake she wasn't worried about her position she'd never once in her life mentioned wanting to be Queen if he passed this over the burden would surely fall to her and then where would they be the realm is forced to swear their Oaths to a morning girl a girl who would slowly be crushed beneath the weight of their expectations he didn't want that for her by the log he didn't want that fate for anyone if he could spare her that pain there it is that Keen mind of yours visory spoke softly earning a dark glow from him you know full well the weight the crown holds this is no trivial gesture nephew Dragon stone is one thing but the Iron Throne is the most dangerous seat in the realm should you take it you will have to marry take a wife father children secure your succession proper ly as I could not he looked away with a scowl I'm well aware of that you must be something in his uncle's voice had him looking back to him for a moment in the candlelight he looked weathered aged Beyond his ears I will not marry again I cannot he shook his head and for a fleeting instant he glimpsed tears in the eyes of his uncle I dare not for fear of what it might do to me he thought as much by all telling his aunt and uncle had loved one another dearly they'd spent most of their lives together he would never again love another as he had her furthermore marrying again so soon after declaring a new Heir would only muddy the Waters of succession time would tell if feries kept to his word he hoped so but many men had made such promises in the past silence rained between them viser broke it first would you take up this mantle would he could he be a good King he believed so yes he had the mind for it if not the stomach but becoming the heir one day ruling over seven King DS did he dare a true king was more than a Hokage could ever be he knew demon dad might not take kindly to his decision or might he be proud there was truly no way of talking with him sometimes he tried to think of all the good he could do and child little ones running around underfoot he might enjoy being a father again he'd L stood up last time and learned his lesson no he wouldn't make that mistake again any child of his son or daughter he'd be there for completely I can choose my own wife his uncle nodded whomever you wish Benny the word tasted like ash on his tongue I'll do it good visor almost seemed to Sag before his eyes now there is something else I need to tell you nuto blew out an angry breath of course there was what else could he possibly say that was worse than this it might be difficult for you to understand but you must hear it our histories as he looked on his uncle paced away from the fire looking past the false ganu they tell us that Egan looked across the Blackwater from Dragonstone and saw a rich land ripe for the capture but ambition alone is not what drove him to Conquest it was a dream dreams a Le had dreams dreams of dragons and just as deis foresaw the end of valyria viser rambled on Egan forsaw the end of the world of men is to begin with a terrible winter gusting out of the distant North Egan saw absolute Darkness riding on those winds and whatever dwells within will destroy the land of the living when this great winter comes nephew all of weros must stand against it the shiver stole up his spine and if the world of men is to survive visores continue to Pace heedless of the sudden Drey felt a Targaryen must be Seated on the Iron Throne a king or queen strong enough to unite the realm against the cold and the dark Egan called his dream The Song of Ice and Fire there was something about those words that resonated within him where had he heard those words before this secret has been passed from King to a since ean's time his uncle laid a hand on his shoulder rooting him where he stood and now you must promise to carry it and protect it always his grip tightened a bit fingers digging desperately into his skin promise me this nuto you must promise me the he to sigh I promise there it was done his word was his bond there could be no turning back not now not ever at long last for the first time in decades he sensed him he knew where he was at long last he had purpose again a mission a go here and now ban spread his great wings and took flight Allison found him in the gardens in hindsight nuto wasn't all that hard to find one had but to look for the silver armor of the kingk Guard to know he was near Sir Eric Sir Eric she sketched a quick courtesy to the brothers is the prince within the Elder of the two nodded he is my lady they I see him they do o exchanged a RI look dear to wish him luck the former wore a amused smile that paid to her expectations Barry tutted hush now brother don't tease the poor girl they parted for her Allison screed between them Nudo was seldom the subtle sword his hair was a dead giveaway among all the greens and Golds to say nothing of his attire he sat upon a stone bench hands on his knees a flagen of wine beside him the servants had dressed him well he looked Regal in black and red every bit of Prince the Future King he was meant to be it wasn't fair he was good and kind and charming and above all merciful a stark contrast to most Lords and nuga did not deserveth his burden why had Deon done what he did she didn't know father had been exalted he' long held a grudge against a rogue Prince to have him brought low in such a manner must have brought him no small amount of pleasure in a single Fell Swoop he'd removed a thorn in his side and found someone far more palatable in his place will you go to him he'd asked her he needs guidance at this moment now more than ever he needn't have she would have happily sought him out anyway I thought you might be here she sat beside him he didn't look at her his eyes were on the coast as though he were watching waiting for something how' you find me Allison quirked a brow fair enough he sighed how are you feeling she gripped a trembling hand too still at Tremor and hid the nail she'd bitten I had another nightmare last night for some peculiar reason that made nuto wince I'm sorry don't be she shook her head you defended me if not for you I'd be on a boat to OS right now their hard quilled just thinking about it she would not have lived long across the narrow sea no not long at all Theo knocked back his goblet drained it to the last drop and crushed it in his hand I won't let that happen to you again it sounded suspiciously like a promise a client eyed the suned cup and imagined it as the head of the one responsible for that horrid plot it brought her some smaller relief she was no fighter she never had been but perhaps it was time she started to learn she never wanted to feel that helpless not ever again and speaking of helplessness they waiting for you she whispered I know Naro ran a hand through his hair he looked tired exhausted really I'll be alone for a bit Allison scooted a little closer I no it can't be easy she laid her hand on his losing your aunt and your father almost on the same day then having this burden thrust upon you I did it to spare anira he heed a sigh but now I almost wonder if that's an excuse if I actually wanted oh gods reineer someone would need to speak with her soon Allison didn't know if her dear friend wanted to be Queen but visores had slighted her all the same just as Ries had been slighted so long ago he could always yield the throne when he became king if he didn't want it surely he didn't have to keep it you her eyes met his wanted I mean he held her gaze and curled a finger around hers sending a little jolt through her body I want to do good and what about you what do you want Allison's throat went dry what I want she wanted him wanted him as she'd never wanted another in all her life she wanted him to reach across the table take her by the waist pull her into his lap and press his lips to hers to feel her hands on his her body tangled up in his for the two of them to finish what had nearly begun in the tower of the hand before therians interrupted the realization wasn't quite as jarring as she thought it would be and her mind began to wander to dark treacherous places alicent oh Gods she'd been ignoring him again she squirmed a little in her seat and swallowed face flushing nuto must have seen it too because his eyes flashed there was a spark off something there Allison wanted to act on it so very badly painfully she restrained herself no not yet not just yet at this moment she settled for holding his hand standing now tugging him up after her shall we be off then her prince smiled One By One The Lords of wios swore their fty before the Iron Throne Lena's father nelt first I cores of house valaran lord of the tides and master of driftmark promis to be faithful to King viser and his named dare the prince narudo I pledge fty and shall defend them against all enemies in good faith without deceit I swear this by all the old gods and the new away went Lord Corley and then came another to Neil ah he recognized one Otto's brother I Hobert hiow Beacon of the South Defender Of The Citadel and voice of all Town promised to be faithful to King visores and his name the prince nuto I pledge fty to them and promise to defend them against all enemies in good faith and without deceit I swear this by all the old gods and the new so many lords one after the other they swore and swore and swore and he had to Stand Here dressed up in all this finery listening to them I Jason Lannister I Orman Baratheon I Rick and Stark Lord of Winterfell he wasn't sure how much time passed after that before the long line before him finally dwindled to a single soul and then none at all at last it was was done viser Rose from his throne and all himself included turned to face him I viser Targaryen first of his name he stood brandishing Blackfire before him King of the andal the Riner and the first men lord of the Seven Kingdoms and protector of the realm do hereby name my nephew Naruto Targaryen Prince of Dragonstone and heir to the Iron Throne nuto inclined his head in his peripherals he glimpsed others doing the same so that's it just like that he felt an invisible weight settle about his shoulders as he looked into the crowd Allison smiled at him little Lena actually dared to wave just stood there she did not scowl nor did she smile she simply stared face carved from blank Stone impossible to read he wondered if she understood why he'd done this was she happy for him angry he couldn't tell nevertheless he' done this for her sake all to save her from the Iron Throne nuto had never seen such an uglier chair in all his life ugly perhaps but powerful all the same the greatest seed in all the realm the Throne of the King highest of all bringing Seven Kingdoms to heal pity his uncle was so weak King viser was a good man to be sure the realm had never seen better since the reign of jih heres himself but he lacked the strength of his predecessor and now he named him a new Heir for all the Lords and Ladies to see he'd find himself swamped with marriage proposals in a week he pursed his lips to stifle a sigh how could anyone want this and why do I viser tapped Blackfire against the steps my Heir will now address you all uncle say what now the rudo bid his lip to stifle the shout that threatened to burst forth from his throat oh Gods a speech no one said anything about a bloody blasted speech what was he supposed to say what could he say he hadn't even thought of anything even now he could feel their eyes on him watching waiting for the first sign of weakness to hold his tongue here a promised disaster but in the same vein speaking foolishly would Doom him all the same he had to play the part here no matter how much he might loath it Allison gave him an encouraging look beside her father the Ed a sigh well nothing ventured nothing gained as they say he opened his mouth to speak Lords and Ladies of weros before we begin there's something I'd like you all to hear the dragon's Roar rattled the red keep from top to bottom swallowing his words whole men and women screamed doubled over and clutched at their ears nutk face lit up in a flash of vicious triumphant recognition he couldn't have timed that better if he tried could it be deman saw the winged Shadow first he'd been on the verge of departing for the stepstones with miseria only a moment before when he first glimpsed it from the sky heard it the heavy beat of wings beating out their dark Cadence a deadly durge a steady wump wump wump that left shock waves in its wake his lover yelped and clung tight to him but he paid her little heed from the back of carax as he glimpsed ebony black scales cutting through the clouds a creature so large that even caraxes whimpered in fear it was all he could do to keep his dragon from fleeing on the spot no creature had ever inspired such Terror in him or the bloodworm such awe such a wonder and yet for all that the monstrosity paid the no heed it didn't notice the mon caraxes or if it did it certainly didn't seem to care instead it belched a great gout of crimson fire such heat and Dove right past them as it did demon glimpsed the scars on its back smelled the faint scent of fire and brimstone heard the roar that rattled the world a deep base Rumble that rattled his teeth and left his ears ringing whatever it was it moved with frightful speed for something so large and it was headed toward the capital the Seria whispered against his back what is that this could only be one Beast one creep one Dragon one word that surpassed all others at his son called it he wondered has it come for him at last or perhaps the Ry smile tugged at the corner of his mouth the future the winged Shadow blotted out the sun draping itself over kingk Landing peasants wailed Lords and Ladies cowered in fear Knights soiled their trousers Valyrian paid them no heed why should he they were like ants to him his hunger could wait he was close now so very close he could smell him he had his scent now even over the stink of the city where here a figure had emerged from the red keep ahead of the others a young man he stroe with poison purpose taking the steps two at a time in his haste to descend when he looked up and saw him how could he not the ancient worm heard a distant peel of laughter sweet as bird song and felt his Joy he burned like the sun in his Mind's Eye bright as he had been on that fateful day ages past but what was this the man was making for a space near the high walls with others racing after him a rather with deep in space aha the bright man wished to see him did he face to face as they had in their first meeting very well but a triumphant Roar Valyrian swooped down to greet him aen he's finally here the next chapter is dedicated to him and there we go hope you enjoyed
