"Let them hate, so long as they fear." – King Aemon Targaryen, The Great Evil.
POV: Queen Alicent Hightower
"I chose Leana."
Third Pov
Cannibal launched upwards into the clouds, his flames still licking Meleys' and Seasmoke's scales, drawing pained screams from the two beasts, the former suffering damage to the head in her attempt to shield her rider.
Leana whipped her arms, tugging at the leash of her saddle in an attempt to force the queen of dragons to pursue her eldest spawn. "Dīnagon vhagar tolī zirȳla dīnagon bē sōvegon nyke udrāzma ao" [Move Vhagar after him move up fly, I command you.] Her desperate, shrill screams echoed through the field but fell on deaf ears as the queen of dragons defied her.
Vhagar began to stomp her massive feet, crushing *crunch * trees beneath them as she jolted herself desperately, snapping left and right in an attempt to shake the chained Leana off her. The constant and consistent trashing threw Leana around. The chains binding Leana to Vhagar creaked with each jolt from the dragon, who seemed to have no end to her defiance as she continued to thrash around.
Cannibal soared through the clouds, his black scales mixing with the dark thunder clouds. Meleys and Sea Smoke followed behind him, the red queen the fastest of all dragons, catching up to him quickly. "Dracarys." The command echoed as the red queen launched torrents of crimson flames at the larger dragon, who pivoted to the side, avoiding the initial attack.
Cannibal seemed to be on the run, flying west until Seasmoke emerged from the clouds below, breaking apart the blanket of water vapours as his white scales shone through, clearly contrasting the black clouds. He blocked off the cannibal's route as he launched torrents of white flames at the cannibal, who pulled up to shield Aemon, taking the flames to the abdomen as it let out a pained screech, "aerahharhg". It launched itself up, soaring higher and higher until it managed to do a loop-de-loop.
Doing this, he managed to get behind Meleys as he tried to dive onto her until Sea Smoke blasted some more fire at him, forcing a knife turn, saving Meleys, who dove under Sea Smoke quickly rising to intercept the Cannibal's path, attempting to bite it unsuccessfully as he whipped it back, smacking Meleys in the mouth with it.
Cannibal dove below the clouds, flying at breakneck speeds towards the Meleys and Seasmoke, following closely behind, yet Cannibal showed no signs of slowing down. All three dragons barrelled towards the ground faster and faster until the ground was mere metres from the dragons, and that's when Cannibal pulled up his large wings, having the power to force the updraft to lift him into the clouds once again. The smaller dragons were not so lucky; Meleys and Seasmoke crashed into the ground with a heavy *THUD* as the two formed massive craters in the ground, kicking up dirt and toppling trees.
Cannibal flew around and came upon the thrashing form of Vhagar. Leana had dropped her whip and was being thrown around like a rider on her saddle, the chains barely hanging on.
Cannibal flew right above Vhagar, his jaw unhinging as he pulled off a miraculous feat, *CRUNCH,* as he ripped Leana's top half right off her body, biting her in half as her lower body was still bound by chains to Vhagar, who seemed to calm down a bit with the death of her would-be master.
Cannibal flew back into the clouds as he began stalking the two downed dragons. Meleys seemed to let out a pained wail mirroring her rider, who was screaming, having witnessed the death of her daughter, whipping her mount harder and harder, forcing the Red Queen back into the air to follow the Cannibal, who seemed to have vanished into the clouds.
Meleys flew in circles trying to find Cannibal, but he seemed to have vanished until a panicked cry rang out, and Rheanyes's gaze was dragged towards Sea Smoke. Cannibal had dived towards the smallest dragons, who had tried to escape, flying low to the ground, trying to reach the dense formation of trees nearby as Cannibal's jaws clapped open and shut again and again, missing him by just a hair's breadth, a satisfied chuckle escaping the larger beast, "caycaycaycaycay", as he toyed with the smaller dragon.
Seasmoke managed to escape into the woods as Cannibal hovered above the dense shrubbery. A deep chuckle escaped Aemon, who shouted in a gleeful voice, "Hiding in the woods from fire, how ingenious!". "Dracarys!" was let out with a sadistic glee as blackish green flames erupted from Cannibal's mouth, setting the dense foliage on fire, which spread to every tree, the smoke rising, covering the cannibal in it, masking him again in darkness which seemed to be its ally.
The fire forced Sea Smoke from his hiding space so his rider wouldn't suffocate in the smoke, the small dragon trying his best to run away as Meleys managed to come to his aid, diving into the smoke only to find no one there, just empty air. Rheanyes had to leave quickly, her eyes burning from the smoke; she could barely keep them open.
Rheanyes and Leanor looked around, circling each other, trying to find the location of the Cannibal, yet the beast seemed to have disappeared, leaving them in solitude with only the flapping of their dragon's wings and the pitter-pattering of the rain to keep them company.
"Do...you think...he ran away?" asked Leanor, his throat dry from the smoke as his vision was blurry.
"To where? As far as he knows, his father authorised this; who would he run to? Daemon? No, he's here; someone with his level of pride wouldn't run, not on his life". Rheanyes barked out her rage, palpable on her knuckles, turning white with how hard she had gripped her whip.
"Leana, she's... why wouldn't Vhagar listen to her?" Leanor asked as his eyes looked at the dragon queen, who seemed to be content to merely watch them.
"We don't command dragons. Trying to get a mother to kill her son was foolish; of course, she would resist ... We shall avenge your sister and bring your father Aemon's head along with that of his wretched beast." Her pain cleared her eyes, darting towards the clouds, scanning wherever she could. She flew further away to try and scan a wider range to find Aemon as Leanor flew opposite her near the forest.
"Rawahwahwah" A rage-filled roar forced Rheanye's head to snap to her left, only to see Cannibal flying from the forest that he'd just set on fire. That's where he'd hidden; Aemon had used the smoke and trees to hide his dragon so he could attack Leanor when she was away from him.
Cannibal launched his flames before Seasmoke could react, cooking the younger dragon as his scales melted from the heat. Leanor didn't even manage to get out a scream as the flames ripped the life from his lungs. Sea Smoke crashed into the forest, if not dead, then crippled at the very least.
Meleys let out a roar as she charged towards the cannibal, who flew to meet her. It was all Rheanyes could do to keep her mind and pull back and fly up; she needed to escape. She had no chance; she needed to get to court and get Viserys to summon Daemon so they could take the beast down together. It was foolish not to summon him in the first place; he was the only one who could match this devil in battle.
She will take revenge for her children, but she wouldn't get it if he caught her. He seemed to have caught onto her plan, yet he didn't pursue her; rather, he launched himself into the air, going further and further up into the clouds.
Cannibal flew up further and further until he was above the rain clouds, where the sun shone onto his leathery wings, his abdomen still stinging from the burns from sea smoke, yet he pushed himself further up. "Sir lurugon aōha tīkuni se dive." [Now fold your wings and dive.] Aemon's voice rang out.
Cannibal followed his rider's command, his leathery wings wrapping around himself as he began to fall, diving towards Meleys faster and faster, gravity pulling him down, until he crashed into Meleys, dragging and tackling her to the ground.
*KAKHOOM*
The impact crushed Meleys under the larger beast, who used her to break his fall. The red queen's wings were crushed as jagged bones pierced through the scales. As her blood flowed, mixing into the dirt, the dragon wiggled below, cannibal in pain, its wings crushed as it was forced into submission.
Aemon unstrapped himself from Cannibal as he looked at Rheanyes, who seemed to be unconscious, bleeding from her head. He climbed down from Cannibal onto Meley's back. The she-dragon was still and seemed to have submitted to the cannibal, the fight knocked out of her.
Aemon moved towards his aunt and slapped her, then again and again until she stirred awake, her vision blurry as she barely lifted her head to look at Aemon standing above her, his face contorted into an ever-present smug smirk as he spoke, "Hey, Auntie."
"You bastard, you have no idea what you've started. Corlys will hunt you till your end." She rasped out, rage burning in her eyes.
"No, you have no idea what you've set in motion. This event will end House Targaryen all for a whore's wish." Aemon growled as his frustration seemed to drown every other emotion.
"You mad bastard, you're truly lost. Daemon will come and put you down like the dog you are, and I can't wait to see it. Your Lannister whore will warm his bed." She said, a dry chuckle escaping her.
"See, zehahah, you won't be doing much of that anymore, Aunty," Aemon says, his malice dripping from his words as his sadistic joy seeps into the air.
His fingers extend like hooks towards Rheanyes' face, sinking into her eye socket as her hands shot up to claw at his wrists, but that did not stop him. His knuckles meet her sweaty brow as his fingers dig deeper and deeper into her skull until his fingertips grab a firm hold of the soft jelly-like flesh as he pulls his arm back, tearing it in a not-so-clean pull as the flesh clings to her yet with some force, like a wet boot ripped from mud. He tore out her eye as her nails dug into his wrist, drawing blood, her howling no longer resembling any sound a human could make. Aemon tossed the piece of flesh to the floor, disregarding it, as his finger moved towards the other eye that almost shrank into Rheanyes's skull to avoid him, yet it was to no avail as he repeated the process as Rheanyes's larynx twisted and tore with her screams.
Aemon looked fascinated at the eyeball in his hand as he looked toward his winged companion, ripping his hand free from the flailing blind woman, "You're a negative influence, but I do wonder why you developed a taste for it" Aemon living up to his mounts name opens his jaw and drops the eyeball into his mouth.
*Gulp*
"Hemp tasted like takoyaki", Aemon said in a bemused tone as the blind woman's screams melded into the raging storm. The game had just begun.
-The End-
Do remember to comment they motivate me to write this chapter was late since i underestimated my exams .
So i hope i didn't let anyone down. Dragon battles are harder to write than i thought they'd be. Also the last bit i was debating on adding it or not but i remembered you've all probably read the synopsis so know I'm writing a twisted MC so i thought id have fun isn't that what geroge always says its not ASOIAF if the readers arent disgusted. Atleast i didn't write about Dany and her stool.
Until next time commit war crimes. I will try to get another chapterout by sunday this week.
