Middle of 130 ACBaela Baela shivered, clinging closer to Moondancer's neck to warm up. Her teeth clattered so hard from the cold that they felt they would shatter. Flying in the middle of a cold winter night might have been too much after all. She felt she would freeze to death before she managed to guide Moondancer to that cave in the Dragonmont, near Cinderfall's Chasm. The location where she had agreed to meet Rhaena was a small rocky gorge where molten rock flowed down from vents, crashing into…- 185.8 K • Completed
- Middle of 130 ACJon Stark An arrow whistled over his shoulder, sinking into the aventail of the Farring knight as if it were made of straw. Sadly, Jon had no time to admire the frightening power of a dragonbone bow, as he was already charging into the enemy. One last leap through the snow saw Jon before Ser Marston Waters. Skyfall was already cleaving at the man's neck, but he confidently raised his shield. The knight was good, the round shield boss met the blade at a tricky angle, glancing off the…

- "The whore on Dragonstone is not the threat. No more than Rowan and those traitors in the Reach. The danger is my uncle. Once Daemon is dead, all those fools flying our sister's banners will run back to their castles and trouble us no more." -Aemond Targaryen The Greens gained momentum after the Sacking of Tumbleton. It was said that Maelor's brutal death had awoken a terrible anger in the young Prince Daeron, for he had ordered the inhabitants of the market town put to the sword—even the women…

- Edited by: Bub3loka130 ACJon Stark He awoke, feeling weak and stiff—more stiff than weak. His eyelids were as heavy as lead, but he pushed them open, only to be greeted by a familiar ceiling and darkness. But the darkness did not hamper his vision at all, for he could see every detail of the rafters above. It was not the weirdest thing that had happened to Jon, so he just shrugged and accepted it. His hand was already reaching for Skyfall, finding the sword sheathed beside his bed. It brought him…

- Year 129 After Aegon's ConquestRhaena Targaryen Surprisingly, Ser Alfred Broome had convinced the angry crowd that sheer numbers would not make a difference and had only requested those good with a sling, harpoon, or bow to join him, totalling a dozen men. The mutinous Pyne and Cave squires were barred from joining. "Your parents entrusted me with your safety, and I shall not allow you to follow me into a dragon's lair on the first day." The two stayed behind with much grumbling, overeager for…

- Year 129 After Aegon's ConquestJon Stark Returning without any fish, all solemn, had not evaded his household's attention. "Where are you going, m'lord?" Aethan asked, cautiously eyeing him as Jon regarded his collection of Velaryon armaments that had remained untouched since it was stored in one of the cellars next to the kitchen. "Usually, you fish until much later." "I do, but I was rudely interrupted. Now, I am going for a hunt," Jon said, picking one of the spears that had belonged to the…

- Year 129 After Aegon's ConquestWinterfell A throne could not have two kings, just like a castle could not have two lords, Cregan Stark knew. Yet there were two claimants to the Iron Throne now, both with crowns placed atop their heads and dragons under their command, and thus the Seven Kingdoms were at war. The Starks knew better than to fight against dragons, for those who did would often get consumed by the flames. Harren the Black had perished in his stone stronghold, melted within walls meant to…

- Year 129 After Aegon's ConquestJon Stark Renting more pastures and even a chunk of the coast as his fishing spot was surprisingly cheap and easy. Things were going smoothly. Too smoothly. Even the draconic presence in his mind was subdued. From what little Jon could gather without prodding, Vermithor was content to spend most of his days slumbering, quite pleased after decimating Rhaenyra's herds of cattle. In moments such as these, it was very easy to forget how he had tangled himself up with the…

- Year 129 After Aegon's ConquestJon Stark Rhaenyra had decided to throw a feast to celebrate the 'resolution of that pesky misunderstanding'. Unfortunately, Jon couldn't decline the offer made before the whole court without insulting the Lady of Dragonstone. Alas, no matter how tempted he was to do it, his common sense prevailed in the end. And so, here he was in the Great Hall of Dragonstone, a terrible building in the shape of a dragon lying on its belly. Draconic motifs dominated the castle, down…

- Year 129 After Aegon's ConquestJon Snow The dungeons of Dragonstone were far warmer than the ice cells of Castle Black. The air here was hot and humid, heavy with sulphur. There was no light here, aside from the single ray coming from a finger-sized hole in the ceiling made for breathing. Each cell was walled up with that impossibly smooth black rock for which Dragonstone was famous. Instead of a wall and a door, iron bars as thick as a man's wrist separated each cell from the hallway, giving each…
