The great hall erupted in chaos as accusations flew like arrows. Lords and ladies shouted over one another, alliances splintering in a tempest of fear and rage.
Kaerys stood calm amidst the storm, her voice cutting through the din. "Enough! We either stand united, or we fall divided. The enemy waits for no one."
A Treacherous Sting
Jaro's discovery of a secret alliance between the Targaron heir and a faction within Volantis sent shockwaves through Kaerys's court.
"Traitors lurk in every shadow," he warned. "We must strike first — or be crushed."
The Dragon's Fury
Serenthis descended upon the battlefield with a roar that shook the heavens, flames turning the night into day.
Her fiery wrath was a brutal reminder — loyalty to Kaerys came with a cost.
A Quiet Desperation
In the war room, Neron confronted the harsh truth. "This war will leave nothing but ashes. Are we ready for the price?"
Kaerys's eyes burned with fierce resolve. "The price of power is always paid in blood."
The Unseen Hand
Behind the scenes, a shadow moved — a puppet master pulling strings, their true identity still a mystery.
