Chapter 426: 4
Margery Pov
We are fortunate to this day that the Tyrells did not take side's during this time of Civil war, but that did not mean that we were not having our own war.
As the War of steel and blood rage in the northern and eastern kingdoms, the War of Words and letters was moving about in the Reach, we tried to remain Neutral and keep the peace within our lands but the Hightowers and their allies were making that difficult.
It only got worse when they threatened us to take our positions and lands as Wardens and lord Paramount's of the Reach, by having the Queen make it so.
The Tyrells at that time would not take such disrespect openly; they were prepared to March against the Hightower's and even Queen Rhaenyra enemies.
However we were spared from spilling blood when our hope the Scourge, descended upon the Reach.

It had not been a day since they're second son had perished at the hands of Aemon Targaryen or they're revenge against Aegon by taking the life of his son and stealing the other.
Lord Hadrian Peverell Promised death and vengeance against his enemies and all those who sided with them.
He unleashed one of his dreaded Sea Dragons upon the Hightower's families in the reach.
The green Naga Ladon descended onto the Plentiful lands of the reach, where ever that beast slithered in its trail left only death and decay, Plants rotted and died all to the roots, Animals and people were poisoned to the bone and the very earth became infertile and poisoned for years that to this day, Plants have only just begun to grow on the marked dead earth.
Ladon circled around the home of the Hightower's in old town, like a shark in water.
The Hightower's amassed they're armies and banner men outside their walls; they waited until Reinforcements gathered outside the Ring of death The dragon slither through.
But before they attack a bright light exploded where Ladon was, and out of the Light was Harridan Peverell, standing tall and proud on his mighty sea dragon.
The Hightower's ordered the attack from the safety of they're castle but they're army was unprepared for the deviating attack of Landon who unleashed her great breath upon it's enemies.
However the Scourge was different from her fire breathing brethren, instead of fire all that came out was a fog of poison that rotted and killed the land where ever it touched, Men gasped for breath as the poison surrounded them, some were fortunate enough to be close to the blast as they died instantly for even breathing the poison slightly was a death sentence.
The Hightower's must of shat themselves seeing they're army now dead, they tried to plea for their lives but Hadrian would have none of it and like the grey kings, the Hightowers died within their walls.
Truly, no one wanted to get on his bad side after that, because once his serpent had utterly destroyed the Hightower's in the Reach, everyone of their Allies dropped the swords and bowed low to the Ground, sparing them and their Houses.

The Naga, Great kings of the sea ruled the waves while their winged cousin's took the sky's.
Naga's are more different than regular dragons, they're fast, poisonous, and had the unique ability to kill with their eye's, it is said that starring into the eyes of the beast is like starring at death, and once you look, you fail to realise that your already dead.
Naga's have no legs to stomp upon the earth, no wings to cut through the clouds, no claws to slice through their enemies.
They had fangs sharper then blades, poison to fell the mightiest beast, a body to move through the land like a shadow of death, eye's to kill or send one into a statue like state of death.
Their bodies were a long as four of our greatest ships lined up and just as big as the Targaryen's largest dragon.
The scourge of Hightower Landon, who's poisons breath leaves both plant and animals dead in it's path, and the land rotten and diseased.
The beast of fire and water, Typhon who's fiery breath burns even the ocean itself. And we Greyjoys take pride in fighting alongside the mighty beast during those times.
Finally was the Hammer of the Storm, the Majestic Lernaean, whose spit's water out so fast and powerful that it becomes a blade that cuts through anything, Armies, walls even the very earth itself.
Those where great days for the Ironborn who sided with them.

While House Targaryen had dragons, House Peverell had Great Sea dragons, the great kings of snakes but that was not their only ability.
Hadrian Peverell of House Peverell had the ability to speak like a snake and that ability let him communicate not only with snakes but Dragons as well.
Such a unique ability allowed such a man to control these beautiful beasts, like the Great Landon whose magnificent emerald scales resembled the bountiful life this dragon corrupts. It's poison is the most deadliest the world has ever seen for one does not need to be bitten in order to die but breath in its toxic breath that bath's over the land like fog.
But that is not it's only weapon, it's fangs carry a great poison that will fell a man in seconds if they manage to survive the sword like wounds, even dragons are not safe from it or the eye's that freezes an opponent dead his tracks, killing them or sending them into a statue like state from which only the Peverell contain the antidote to.
Our house had heard of this man who suddenly appeared in Westeros with a castle, wealth and power none had ever seen. They attended when he hosted a party in his great castle in honour of his betrothed to be, during the feasting they beheld the man speaking to his dragons like a snake, his hissing sent chills down the spine of every man, woman and child that attended.
And when he unleashed his dragons upon his enemies, it was like the gates of hell had just opened up and unleashed destruction and chaos upon the land.
Our house would never forget such a day in our lives.
