Mother of Dragons
Dany looked at her young dragons flying in the sky and felt her heart soar at the sight. 'Dragons' the true power behind her family finally have returned after a hundred and fifty years. She named the dragons after her dead husband and dead brothers.
She and her remaining khalasar travelled through the red waste and reached the ruined city of Vaes Tolorro, where they set up camp owing to the water wells and some hardy fruit groves. She sent her bloodriders to explore the surrounding areas.
She was saddened by the death of Doreah during the harsh journey, her husband's Khalasar abandoned her after his death and most of her retinue now consists of women, children and former slaves. She willed herself to be strong and reminded herself she is the blood of the dragon.
That night in the ruins, she dreamed of conquering Westeros with her full grown dragons, an army of Unsullied and a million Dothraki. All her enemies were burned and their castles put to the torch, the lords of Westeros bend the knee to her as she sat on the Iron Throne and claimed her birthright.
She was full of joy the next as she remembered the previous night's dream of riding her dragons and conquering Westeros. Her bed felt empty without drogo and she made Irri pleasure her with her mouth multiple times during the night.
She had another vivid dream where she sat atop her dragon flying over green fields filled with crops and trees of all varities, possibly the Reach. She swelled with pride as her large army marched below towards the castle that assembled a paltry force to face her.
The enemy formation broke as her dothraki riders rode towards their forces and began to flee before the fight began. Her army chased the cowards and quickly gained on the retreating commanded her dragons to spread out and devastate the enemies.
Suddenly she heard roars and saw that ten creatures, smaller and swifter than her dragons screeched and flew towards her children. She was bamboozled by these smaller creatures who had leathery wings and large beak like mouths with spiked tails challenging her larger dragons. 'WYVERNS' she recognized the beasts and gaped in disbelief as to how the Usurper managed to acquire them and pit them against her.
The beasts spread into three groups as he children gave chase but failed to reach them due to their bulk. The lighter beasts flew in different patterns to confuse her children. One of them slashed at drogon's side with it's claws and her child screeched in pain as she saw blood ooze from a deep cut on his belly.
Drogon opened fire on the beast turning his body and head to reach the green and white wyvern, when another beast slashed at his right wing. Drogon roared in pain as both the beasts escaped fire and flew up into the clouds.
She felt her child's pain and agony as the two beasts flew up quickly with drogon giving chase but unable to reach the faster creatures as they soared through the clouds. She heard a loud screech somewhere else and began to worry for Viserion and Rhaegal.
The two beast flew in the opposite directons when drogon almost reached them. Drogon spun wildly and she tightened her grip on the saddle to avoid being thrown. The heavy wind and moisture made it difficult for her t breather or see properly. Drogon pounced and caught one of the creatures tail in it's mouth and bit hard drawing blood, the smaller creature screeched a death cry and attacked drogon with it's claws and teeth causing large scratches and cuts on drogon's face.
Drogon tore the creatures tail and opened red and black fire burning the creature in the sky. Dany smiled as her child destroyed the wyvern, which is not so invincible once its speed advantage is neutralized.
Her joy only lasted a moment when two more of the wyverns used the distraction to tear half of drogon's right wing from two sides and escaped before her child can give chase. Drogon roared in pair as his wing was almost fully torn and blood leaked downwards.
She felt her child lose altitude and almost fall from the sky as pain course through the damaged wing. Dany cursed the usurper and these creatures when two more roars sounded in the clouds. "No, my children" she screamed recognizing the agonizing screeches of her other dragons.
As Drogon glided with difficulty she felt a sickening feeling as she saw Rhaegal falling from the sky as his neck and wings were torn in half along with blood oozing out of his belly. "No" she wailed as saw her child's lifeless body falling towards the ground below.
She saw half a dozen of the savage wyverns attacking Viserion from all sides and evading his fires. Her smallest dragon was bleeding from all over his body and a portion of his tail was gone. Suddenly three wyverns bit his neck and two more tore his belly as Visrion wailed his last scream before his neck was separated from his body.
"No Viserion" she screamed as two of her children were brutally slain by the savage beasts. She felt drogon weaken and glide lower towards the battlefield when a large explosion left her ears ringing and heat rose around her disoriented all the creatures which flew away.
What she saw below terrified her beyond anything she had ever seen before 'Green fires' spread everywhere burning all of her army below. She saw horses caught on fire trying to flee throwing away their riders before falling to their death in mere seconds. Her Unsullied were caught in the fire and trampled by the escaping horses. Her two dead dragons fell into the green inferno and crushed some of the escaping dothraki.
Her sorrow increased a thousand times when arrows fell on the escaping Dothraki towards the back as she saw new armies arriving from all sides of the fields cutting off any escape route. The army targeted the horses and killed them leaving dothraki running for their lives as their horses are slain.
She saw the crowned Stag of Baratheon, the Direwolf of Stark, The blue Falcon of Arryn, the golden Lion of Lannister, the golden Rose of Tyrell and the red and blue trout of Tully among the armies that slaughtered her remaining forces on foot. The cavalry charge had decimated her entire army.
Drogon was too weak to assist them and she felt her heart drop at the sight of defeat when shrill roars made her turn her head to see the remaining nine wyverns flying towards Drogon. Even her large child cannot stand against these vicious creatures.
She commander her last surviving child to fly away when the sky became dark all of a sudden and deafening roars disoriented her as she covered her ears. Her heart stopped when she saw the most terrifying sight she had ever seen.
The sky was filled with hundreds of Wyverns flying towards her led by sixty foot Wyvern black as sin. She saw a small boy riding the terrible beast as all hopes of her escape died. Three wyverns attacked drogon's left wing and belly while her child tried to breathe fire by twisting himself when the black beast smacked drogon's head with his tail.
Drogon was disoriented and roared in pain as a huge gash was formed on his neck and blood oozed from the wound. Dany was too stunned when she saw the boy with auburn hair and blue eyes smiled at her. He could not be more than seven or eight years and garbed in fine armor with a Flying Wolf painted on his breastplate.
The wyverns flew away from drogon and dany knew that her child is weak due to the bloodloss and close to death. She was filled with shame and sadness lamenting her defeat at the hands of a child. Drogon tried to fly with damaged wings and shrieked in pain before plunging down. She saw a shadow above and saw the black wyvern flying towards her falling dragon. She can barely scream as the fast wind blocked the words and whipped her face.
The next moment she opened her eyes to see a sight she would never forget for the rest of her life. The boy removed his chains binding him to his Wyvern's saddle and jumped straight towards her. He had a dagger in his hands as he seemed to reach towards her as all time seemed to stop around them. The last thing Dany heard the boy shout before his dagger pierced her right eye are "YIPPIE KAY YAY MOTHERFUCKER".
She woke with a pounding heart and body glistening with sweat. "Khaleesi you are safe" said Irri next to her holding her head and hugging her. The dream still reverberated through her mind ad felt very real before she sobbed and hugged Irri as memories of her slaughtered army and dead children flasher in her mind. She could not sleep the whole night crying and fearing the armored boy bearing the winged wolf sigil.
Note : Yep Bran is upto his old tricks haunting peoples dreams. This will not be the only dream that haunts Daenerys and yes i believe Wyverns can kill dragons with sheer numbers. Apologies for the long delay. Working on some other projects and job change had let me little time to do anything. Will try to update every you for all the continued support and Reviews.
