House of The Dragon-A God Amongst Men

(Third Person POV)

[Kingsgrave]

"What a shame." Olyver said as he sat on a chair, holding what looked like a finger in his hand, twirling it around, "To think that assassins would actually be sent. What a pathetic attempt from Prince Oren." 

He was in the courtyard, in front of him, there were three corpses of assassins who managed to sneak into the castle, attempting to kill him in his sleep. Unfortunately for them, Olyver was not someone that could easily be snuck up on. 

He was an enhanced Greenseer, which means that even in his sleep, he can be warged into an animal. In this case, he was warged into a rat that was stationed in the corner of the room, keeping watch. The moment the assassins tried to strike with the daggers, he immediately woke and fought back. 

It was not much of a fight, since he slit their throats with ease. And now, he had them dismembered and displayed on the courtyard. 

He looked at a Knight, "What is the word from Maegor?" He asked, "And Horrace?" 

"Ser Horrace has departed with a small band across the dunes of the lands, scouting out the southernmost parts of Dorne." The Knight responded, "We received a letter earlier this morning and he is about to make a move to take control of some towns south of Sandstone. That will kickstart a bit of conflict gathering attention." 

"He knows what he is doing." Olyver said, "And Maegor?" 

"It appears he has made a move on Yronwood. There is a Red Temple next to it, apparently." The Knight responded, "My guess is he is going to engage with the alleged War-Priest, who are formidable warriors that pledged their faith to the Red God. As for House Yronwood, I do not think they will take this lying down." 

"Complete dominance." Olyver said, "We take Yronwood and hold it. Hm, this is good. Send some men his way, have him take the Seat and hold it down. He can be based there. This way, we control the Red Mountains and any land below it." 

"Of course." He said

"We need to keep this locked down until the Lord-Commander arrives with his own detachment." Olyver said, "With the Desert God, we'll dominate Dorne to the Duskguard's will. Not only that, the Septs and Red Temples will crumble and we'll have some Priests spread the Trinity's influence." 

"A mass conversion." the Knight said

"That is right." Olyver chuckled, "Our Lord has been lenient enough with Dorne. It is time he takes control of this region." 

"Is it true that he only does this because of the Desert God's ability?" the Knight asked

"I don't know much of the details, but from what Lady Mya said, Lord Drakken had already used that ability and decided to bestow it on a Dragon Heart, creating the Sandwyrm he declared as the Desert God." 

"I see." The Knight, "So Our Lord is capable of much more than War and Death?" 

"It appears so." Olyver said, "He is an enigma, Our God." 

"After years of servitude, I know little to nothing about him."

Drakken was crouched down over a small garden that was outside the castle, near Mya's flower gardens. He had a crate sitting next to him, which contained several small bags it. In front of him, a fresh patch of soil, ready for seeds to be planted.

He was spreading some glowing dust on the soil, a neutral look on his face as he did so. 

"Hm..." He said as he watched the dust set on the soil, "There you go...." 

He watched as the dust seeped into the soil and a slight glow was emitted from the soil. He then reached for a bag inside the crate and pulled it out, opening it by pulling on the string. He then grabbed a handful of what looked like seeds from the bag and set the bag down. 

Using his free hand, he dug a couple of small holes on the soil, placing a few seeds in each hole. After placing the last few, he covered them with the soil and reached for a bottle that had what looked like dirty water. 

He reached for another bag and scooped out a bit of a blue spice, placing it inside the bottle and mixing it with the water. 

After he swirled the water a bit, he proceeded to pour it over the soil, where he planted the seeds. A few seconds passed, and a slight glow emanated from the soil. Suddenly, seedlings sprouted from the ground. 

He straightened up and patted his pants, "There you go. Another success." he said with a slight smirk, "I'll give it a couple of days and they'll be ready for grinding, my beautiful plants." 

"Oh? Another batch?" He heard a voice say

He turned to see Mya walking over to him with a smile on her face. 

"You are back." Drakken said with a serious look on his face

She reached him and wrapped her arms around his neck, "I am." She said, "My Lord, did you miss me?" 

"Hm." He said with no reaction

"My, my." She said, "You are in a grumpy mood. I apologize if I have offended you, My Lord." 

"Tch..." He said as he pulled away and walked over to the crate, crouching down and placing the bags into it, "Offended me, huh?" 

"My Lord, I am sorry. I truly am." She said, "You have to understand, I agree with Maegelle's sentiments." 

"Oh, do you? You took her side, and because of that, she left to the Citadel. Taking my daughter away from me." He said as he stood back up, "And I suppose Saera also took her side." 

"If both Saera and I took her side, don't you think it is for a reason?" She asked with a frown, "Lord Drakken I-" 

"Maegelle is mine, Mya. Vaella is mine." Drakken said seriously, "Nobody else but me decides what's good for them. Do you understand? This isn't a relationship between a man and women, this is one between a God and his women." 

"If you truly mean that, why did you let her leave?" Mya asked, "Why do you let us have free will? You are not as possessive as you claim to be." 

"You...." Drakken narrowed his eyes, "What are you speaking about?" 

"I am the First, My Lord. The First Trinity Follower. I heard all of your ramblings when you were adjusting into this world." Mya said, "I know that you were once a Man that ascended into Godhood. You are a God, you truly are. But you were a Man....with emotions.....emotions that Daranne unearthed....and there is nothing wrong with that. Perhaps....this marriage of ours.....it is reminding that you were once-" 

"That Drakken, the Man...." Drakken said, "He is long dead. He didn't live long to begin with. And the Man, Drakken....the Boy who was alone.....he was not a good person to begin with! What you got is the Dragon God of War and Death who-" 

"Who loves us." Mya said with a smile

"Don't cut me off, dammit!" Drakken scowled, "You are getting on my nerves." 

"You can deny it all you want." Mya said, "But ever since I gave you a son, you never once showed me any hostility. In a way, you love me.....as much as you love the others." 

"Shut up." Drakken said as he walked past her, "I expect you in my bed tonight." 

"I have Dragon Hearts to create."
