Chapter 13. Game of thrones. 3.
In a couple of hours I go to Daenerys's Room and Knock. I was still in my armour, though my head piece was removed, letting my face be seen. The few perks I had gotten about my appearance made me supernaturally beautiful. I had Shoulder length pitch black hair, glowing Emerald Green eyes, perfectly symmetrical Features, long Eyelashes, no freckles or marks on my skin, stood at a solid six feet two and weight nearly ninety. kilogrammes of pure muscle. I was Hella hot. Also powerful. I had completely mastered the five Basic Elements, runecrafting was near expert level. After I create a few more powerful and original runic matrices I'd be able to call my self a Rune master as well. By this world's standard at least. Scatach From Fate Legends would kick my ass both in using Runes and Spearmanship. runes in Planetos were purely for static effects and couldn't be used in Rune Casting.
Runic Languages gained Power with age, and the ones I was using were at least eight thousand to five thousand years old. I had enchanted a Valyrian steel weapon with as many enchantments as I could, turns out all my perks in dexterity made me very good at carving. There were a few dozen matrices on the blade. It had a blood letting enchantment on it, a wound made by this sword will not heal naturally. And given time anyone would bleed to death unless they were magically healed. And considering Magical healing was a Rhoynish Specialisation no one but me possibly had knowledge on the topic.
I had already entered the valyrian dragons in the farm. I just had to smear a bit of blood on the eggs and then have a dragon breathe fire on it and the eggs hatched. Considering they were more intelligent than the dragons from the Farmville jump I decided to give them the same courtesy the Unicorns and Griffin's got. Namely no butchering for meat. Only once they died. Either way it was good. I actually went back north of the wall and used my perks from Farmville and tracked down a few Packs of Direwolfs and added them to my farms as well. they got the Unicorn package as well.
I knocked on her door and a moment later she opened up the door and I start speaking in High Valyrian, "I presume you wish to know what I intend for you girl?"
"My name is Daenerys, also yes, what do you intend to do to me, Magister Illyrio said that you challenged Drogo and told him your take me if he lost, will you rape me now?" There was a fire in her eyes as she spoke that said she would resist heavily if I tried. I like it.
"Girl, look at me, do I look like I need to resort to Rape to sleep with a woman, I could walk into any one of the Lords keeps in westeros and ask to sleep with the lady there and they'd willingly throw themselves at me, I should know I have slept with the current queen of westeros."
I actually did, as much as I hate Cersei on principle she was one Hot and two a total Sut, god that was a Kinky Nighy.
"While you are indeed handsome I doubt you actually slept with her."
"Believe what you want girl, but as for why I took you from your wedding, it was because I saw potential in you, a inner strength that few people have. Hence I took you. And I'll teach you if you want, you'll be strong enough to live your life as you see fit of you learn from me."
"You took me from my wedding because you saw strength in me? I was being sold to a rapist horselord by my brother in exchange for an army to retake his throne. I don't think I have any strength"
"Off course not girl, not yet, but you will, or you would have if I hadn't interfered."
"What do you man would have?"
"Tell me what do you know of Magic?"
"I know enough to know it's not real." She says barely holding in a snort.
"Oh, magic isn't real, is it Girlie, then tell me, why have you never been burned, you could stick your hands in dragonfire and you'd come out cleaner and unburnt. Tell me girl, if that isn't proof of magic what is?"
"How did you know that?' she asks her curiosity now showing up.
"Think, girl, I know you have magic, I tell you, you have potential in using magic, and I opened doorways to this castle from Pentos, so tell me ohh would be queen, how could I possibly know that fire won't burn you?" I say sarcasm flowing thickly from my words.
"You are sorcerer then."
"Wizard girl I am a wizard. Well a warlock too if you look at it in a way. Not a sorcerer, not yet at least."
"What's the Difference?"
"Girl, the difference is where you draw your power from, wizards that's you and me, have a reservoir of mana within us that we use to power spells. A warlock, that was the Majority of the bloodfuckers from valyria don't have an inner reservoir of magic, and use the world's natural Mana or that from some one else through things like Runes, rituals, and the like. A sorcerer draws poweer from different realms such as the priests of R'hllor who draw from The fire Demon R'hllors realm, the children of the Forests who draw from the gestalt plane of the Old god's."
"Gods are real?"
"In this world they are, they can't interfere directly though, they can only act through mortal hands."
"And what is a mage then?"
"A mage, by my definition Girl is someone who is a Master Wizard, a Master Warlock, and a Master Sorcerer and is capable of merging the three schools and using them simultaneously to power spells, rituals and the like."
"And you will teach me magic, why choose me?"
"Hah, teach you magic. No girl i will teach you to think. Then if you are capable of learning I will teach you magic. Your brother did a number on you mind. You are essentially unthinking and trained to be a meek little throphy like you were going to be for Drogo."
"What do you man teach me to think.?"
"Girl, I am capable of leveling mountains to dust, but that is not most powerful magic. My most powerful magic right now is divination."
"What like the priests of R'hllor do, look into flames and spew prophecy?"
"Fucking hell's no, that's how the demon speaks to the idiots he's convinced he's a god. No divination is not about prophecy, I am not a seer. Divintion is defined as the mystical method of gleaning information and knowledge, be it viewing something in real time." At this I wave my hand and the air shimmers and shows the Iron Throne, "or viewing into the past," and the image shimmers and view Robert the Fat fucker on his throne. "Or viewing the Future." And the image Shows Joffrey on the throne watching as his Kingsguard assault Sansa.
"I could do that?"
"You could yes, but only if you open the eyes that you keep shut and see the truth, magic is a great tool but I won't reach it to anyone who is as weak as you are right now. The only reason I chose you and not one of the other two people in westeros who are capable of Casting spells is that the other two have important places in the future and cannot be removed from there."
"So teach me to be Strong, the. Teach me magic."
"I intend to provided you pass a small test of course. "
"What test,?"
"You will live the life you would have had if I had not interfered today. Should you come out sane and not as broken as you are I will make you the second strongest Wizard on this planet."
"Come out sane? Is the method you use for viewing the future that dangerous?"
"Girl, what I said is what I meant. You will live that life, you will see what you would have seen, feel what you would have felt, smelt what you would have smelt, heard what you would have heard, tasted what you would have tasted. You will live the next twelve years of life in twelve hours and you will see what you could have been. I have seen that story and it wasn't pretty. It can and maybe will break you if you aren't strong enough to endure. So girlie, endure it and you'll be the second strongest being on the planet. Second only to me. Or you could reject the test And I will let you go where ever you want and you will never see me again."
"I will take this test. I will overcome whatever it is that you throw at me, I will everything I can to not be at the mercy of men like Drogo or my brother ever again."
"Very well then girl, pass the test and I will formalize you as my apprentice in Magic and everything I could teach you. And I assure you I can teach you a lot. As incentive for you to stay sane, I will show you one of my most powerful spells." And I wave my hand again using divination and show her me Crushing a Mountain using the Hammer of the Gods Derivative spell.
'I could do that?" She asks, wide eyed at the damage that one spell caused.
"Girl, stay by my side and you can do much more. The test will happen in five days Time, now walk with me, I will show you round the Castle. ask you questions as we walk."
"Thank you, where are we thugh?"
"We are in an inaccessible valley in the Bone mountains East of Essos and west of Yi-Ti and the Shadow lands. around three thousand miles away from Pentos."
She was clearly shaken, that distance would normally take around ten months of travel, twelve in the case of the great plains.
"Why do you call me Girl. Why not use my name?"
"Because I have seen your Future girl, and Daenerys Stormborn is the name she holds, you are not her yet, survive the test with your sanity intact and we'll see about calling you something other than girl."
"Ahh, okay, however I'm not sure how I feel about you telling me I am not worthy of my own name yet."
"Feel whatever you want, the first thing a magic user Learns is control, of Mana within you, of your Emotions, of your Thoughts, of your Body and your very being. When you learn that you will be capable of thinking clearly without letting your opinions cloud your judgement."
"You use that word Mana a lot what is it?"
"Mana, girl is what let's you do magic, every living thing in this world holds mana, however to be a spell caster is something that needs a minimum amount of mana, which most people lack. other than me and you there are only two spell casters currently in Westeros. Oh there are many Skin Changers, Wargs. Few Seers and the like but only three proper Spell casters aside from me."
I knew Daenerys could use magic because well, she could, it was like a tingle my mana got when I got close to her, or Jon Snow, even Arya Stark tripped that feeling a little. The other while they would make Excellent Wargs couldn't do much other than that. Spell casting required the ability to manifest ones Mana externally, however the Stark kids couldn't do that, warning was internal magic, they formed a channel of mana feeding into the animal they control and slip Their consciousness through that.
"So I am one of three casters you know off?"
"Indeed, but not quite while you are capable of using magic, you haven't yet awakened it. So no you are not a wizard yet, a hedge wizard, you could use a couple of beginner level spells yes, but not a spell caster. You unlike m have yet to undergo the Awakening ritual. After that you'll be a wizard."
"And this ritual, will it involve blood sacrifices or something?"
"Only yours girl only yours, it's fairly straightforward, you draw a small ritual circle, sit inside it cut both your palms and place it on the Circle, I channel some of my mana through your Body and awaken your Magical capabilities. Do be aware though, it will hurt, it was meant to be done of children eleven or twelve years old, it hurts more the older you are."
Thus was actually how magic worked in this world. And the reason shit like Accidental magic from Harry potter or Elsa's little freakout from Frozen didn't happen or else Daenerys would have killed someone long before Canon started in a stream of Fire. She was inordinately attuned to Fire. Everyone tended to have elemntal leanings or Affinities. Mine was to Lightning and Daenerys however had an inordinately high affinity for Fire.
My own affinity for lightning was high enough to survive being struck by lightning unharmed, that was mundane lightning. Daenerys on the other hand could survive being bathed in Dragonfire and that was incredibly magical in nature. Given time I could increase my lightning affinity to those levels but she had it innately. I believe it had something to do with her being part of a World Ending prophecy. People who were part of Prophecies tended to be far stronger than average in general. I was also pretty sure she had the In world Version of the Blessing of Valyria. Making her stronger magically than she would be otherwise.
Her mind was boggled by the fact that I had such a huge Castle made entirely of Valyrian stone and so much Valyrian steel and Starforged steel which was in all honesty rarer. There was exactly one weapon in Westeros and Essos made of Starforged Steel and it was Dawn of the Dayne's.
"Now, girl I will be gone for the next three days do whatever you want, but do not try to enter the Library tower, my study or my bedroom, they are all warded and the lighting it shoots at intruders will hurt you quite a lot. You know where the kitchen is make yourself food if you need it. Prepare yourself, while the feelings will be muted you will still experience them and I will tell you this it isn't pretty."
