Chapter 1

In the once great city of valyria a few large castle's remains standing whereas most of the others have burnt down or collapsed. In one of the largest castle's made of black stone. In a single room in the tallest tower of the castle a young man sits up coughing after taking a deep breath for the first time in over 400 years. After getting over his cough fit the young man looks around and after spotting a large mirror slowly rises and begins to walk towards the mirror. Looking in the mirror the young man takes in his appearance. Short silver/gold hair rest on his head with deep violet eyes stare back. The man smiles and then looks around the room and notices a figure lying on the bed next to where he had just spent the last 400 years in a deep sleep. Walking over to the bed he studies the young woman who looks only 8 and 10 name days old. She has long wavy silver hair and is wearing a lavender coloured dress with a smile on her face as she remains asleep. The man suddenly started groaning as his head was suddenly assaulted by images that he then realised were memories. His name is Hadrian Valkorian. He was heir to the house Valkorian, one of the 40 dragon lord houses. He remembered his mother Haleana Valkorian nee peverell, father Daerion Valkorian, little sister Adeana. He then remembered the ground shaking and fire falling from the sky and dragons attempting to fly away. Then he remembered them. His love. Seleana Valkorian nee Targaryen. His wife and mother of his son Adrian valkorian.

Staring down at her he suddenly remembered that he needed to wake her up and search for the rest of his family. Grabbing a knife laying on the table beside the bed. He sliced the knife across his palm and allowed his blood to drip on the runes surrounding the bed and willed the magic in the runes drawn by his own mother's blood to wake his love from her slumber.

Stepping back he watched the runes glow brightly and then fade. He watched as the young woman slowly coughed and sat up. Silver hair cascaded down the woman's back and shoulders like a waterfall. Her beautiful lilac eyes searched the room and the moment her eyes found his, they froze. Silence. The woman then launched herself off the bed and into his arms.

They stared at one another and then she leaned onto her toes and kissed him. The kiss was not forceful or small but one full of love and passion.

"Hadrian, my love" her kind and angelic voice that he had missed so much sounded through the room. He sighed.

"You have no idea how much I missed this and not being able to hold you or touch you" he sighed in content. Then leaning back. "Are you ok" he asked her. She smiled brightly at him.

Then it was gone as she suddenly froze staring at something over his shoulder. Following her gaze, he too froze for a moment and then slowly walked towards the only window in the room to see only smoke and fire outside. He could see from the window that the rest of the castle looked to still be intact and he could also see from the walls surround in the castle that the wards that were created by his mother were protecting the whole castle and its grounds.

Looking at Seleana who looked worried. He nodded.

"Let's go find our family". He remembered his mother telling him and his wife that she needed to put them to sleep and not to worry as she was putting Adeana and Adrian and the whole family to sleep. They searched the whole part of the castle were the family lived and found nothing but the skeleton of a slave who's skull was struck by a falling piece of the ceiling.

The only other place that he could think of that his family could go to for safety was the family vault under the mountain there castle was built and as it had protections in it that have been around for thousands of years.

Moving along the halls Hadrian and Seleana tried to see if there was anyone else still in stasis, but they found no one. They found the double doors that lead into the cavern that lead down to the vaults entrance. The walls were glowing with the same runes on the walls around the whole castle. The entrance to the vault was large enough that a dragon could walk into the vault and was made of dragon glass imbedded with the magic from Valkorian blood. It had intricate designs all over it with the house crest in the centre of the door. Placing his hand that he had cut on the crest, Hadrian allowed his blood to smear the door and asked for entrance. Only members of house Valkorian with Valkorian blood can open the vault. Anyone who tries to open the door who isn't in the family then they would be severely punished and would get a nasty surprise

Silence.

The door started slowly opening with a groan. Hadrian slowly walked into the vault slowly followed by Seleana. He saw only piles of gold and jewels. After looking around the first vault he moved to the next door that like the door to the main vault has protections on it. This door needs to be opened the same way as the first door only the person opening it also has to say the house words.

The second vault was like an armoury with armour made of valyrian steel and swords of dragon glass and valyrian steel. He called for his mother and father. He didn't get an answer. It was while they were looking through the armour that Hadrian saw his armour that his mother gifted to him on his 10 and 6 name day. The armour was made from a fallen star and with his mother's magic and her dragon Syrex's dragon flame. He called it mithril the way the armour gives a soft glow and is just as strong if not stronger than dragon glass. He made a note to come back and get it after he and Seleana found there family.

Hadrian then went to the last door which was the place where the house valkorian kept their most precious secrets and there 50 dragon eggs. Hadrian for a moment wondered what happened to his own dragon Helios and Seleana's dragon saphira. This door had the most dangerous of protection and even those of valkorian blood would die if they didn't do it correctly.

Using the other hand Hadrian placed it on the door and stated in his mind who he was. 'I am the heir of house Valkorian, Hadrian dearon Valkorian'. The door glowed for a second and then opened. The first thing Hadrian and Seleana saw was a surprise it was 3 dragons laying in front of the door. They could tell that they were alive by the hot air coming from the dragon's nostrils. It was Helios and saphira but the third dragon was a surprise it was vermithrax, Hadrian's only Cousin Luctretia Valkorian's dragon.

Hadrian walked over to Helios as Seleana walked over to saphira. Helios was an albino dragon with red under its wings and golden horns on its head. Were as saphira is a blue she dragon with silver under her wings and silver horns on her head. Vermithrax is a black dragon with white under her wings and white horns on its head. Hadrian wondered if his cousin was in here as vermithrax is very protective of her rider and wouldn't leave luctretia on her own.

Looking around the room Hadrian finally spotted them and he smiled "mom, dad. Thank god you are all ok". His mother and father were lying next to each other and next to them lay his cousin holding his younger sister Adeana's hand. It was when he heard Seleana crying that he went over her to see she was holding there 3 name day old son to her chest.

There son of 3 name days was the spitting image of him with his silver/gold hair and high cheek bones but he had his mother's lilac eyes. He looked like he was sleeping." Its ok Seleana we will wake them all up and find out what happened" he said softly.

"I'm not upset, I'm happy that he's ok and I can hold him again" she said through her tears of happiness.

"Ok, let's get ready to wake them up" he said. "We need to find out if any of the other valyrian cities are still standing or if any of the other houses are still alive".
