THE LONG NIGHT
VISERYS
The first day of the following week, after Queen Daenaerys Targaryen became pregnant, it turned cold and in the North. It also began to snow and the clouds blotted out the sun even during the day. By order of King Aegon all villagers were to flee to the cities or the castles of their Lords for safety, warmth and food.
Even though Viserys didn't have strong Dragon blood, he would get to ride Rhael in his sister's place. It was a compromise between Dany and his goodbrother the King. If she got pregnant, then Dany would stay on Dragonstone until the war is over. Viserys rides behind her on Rhael to Dragonstone. Aegon is flying with them on his Dragon, while Rhaenys heads north.
When they land Aegon and Dany share a long passionate kiss and whisper to one another. Viserys smiles a little jealous of their love. Then Dany walks up to him, "Be careful."
He nods, "I will."
"Take no risks."
"And watch out for Rhael." She walks over to her Dragon and whispers to it, in Valyrian. Then she looks at Viserys and nods. He tries to hard to hide his excitement and reverently walks up to Rhael. "Remember she responds to commands in Old Valyrian."
"Yes I know…Take care of yourself and my nephew." He mounts the Dragon and looks at Aegon who is already on his Dragon. They nod to one another, "Rhael fly…Fly…Fly to Lannisport!" He commands. Rhael roars after Rhaexor and takes off right after the black Dragon. Aegon flies west angling towards the Isle of Faces on the godseye lake.
Viserys flies Rhael due west towards Lannisport. Going the same direction they fly side by side and do not stop until they reach The Castle Antlers ruled by House Buckler. They land in the countryside to rest and feed the Dragons. They carry slabs of slaughtered cows with them for the Dragons. As the Dragons roast the meat in their flames Viserys and Aegon eat their own meals.
"What are your plans Uncle?" Aegon asks.
"How do you mean?"
"Will you look for love or dedicate the rest of your life to R'hllor?"
He smiles, "R'hllor…The Priests saved me from myself and I am in their debt. R'hllor's debt."
"Are you happy?"
"I am nephew."
At sunrise the next day they continue on. They land on the beach of the Faces. They rest for a day and then Viserys gets ready to leave. "When the troops are in position. I will make contact with the Night King."
"Do not underestimate him nephew." Viserys warns before mounting Rhael/ He takes one more look at Aegon, before ordering the Dragon to fly. It flies for three days before stopping to rest and hunt. Refreshed Viserys orders Rhael to fly on. They do not stop until they reach Lannisport. When he arrives Viserys is met by Kevan, Jaime, and Gerion Lannister. The Priests of R'hllor are present as well, including Kinvara.
RHAENYS
She flies on her Dragon above the fleet of ships from Houses Arryn, Baratheon, and the Step Stones. The fleet will meet with the Stark Fleet and wait offshore near Eastwatch. Reluctantly her husband stayed with the baby while she went off to fight the dead in the war of the long night. Her brother King Aegon watches them through a seagull following the fleet.
As they pass the fingers, the Northern fleet joins the East coast fleet. When Jaehak needs to hunt, she orders him to land near a ship in the water and climbs aboard, then the Dragon swims off and flies inland to hunt. She decides to stay on ship for the rest of the trip North. Soon they reach the waters near Eastwatch.
Rhaenys is in joint command with Lord Eddard Stark. "Now we wait." He says.
Rhaenys stairs North of the wall, "I do not think we will have to wait long." She replies looking at the storm clouds North of the wall.
AEGON
Aegon sits by a heart tree on the Island of Faces in the godseye lake. His Dragon Rhaexor is asleep after going hunting. Through Warging he can see that all troops are in place. It is time to enact his plan. He breaks the warging and touches the heart tree. Using the magic within he dream walks…
THE LANDS OF ALWAYS WINTER
Beyond the wall in the great far North in the lands of always winter lies a dead heart tree. The birth place of the Night King. He had been created by the children of the forest to get revenge on the Andels who cut down their trees to build castles and such. Eventually they lost control of the Night King. It is here that the Night gathers his forces of wights, dead animals and people animated by his power.
Second to the Night King are his White Walkers. They like the Night King can reanimate the dead and are much harder to kill. It is here that Aegon dream walks among the wights and then he sees the Night King…One minute he is there and the next the Night King is standing behind Aegon. He grabs his arm and marks him…
Aegon opens his eyes and looks at his arm. There is an ancient glyph on his arm in blue glowing ice. He wakes up Rhaexor who is not pleased at being awakened. "Come Rhaexor we must hurry." He says to the Dragon in old Valyria. He mounts the Dragon and they fly towards Moat Cailin.
THE NIGHT KING
The fool had underestimated the Night King. Some hero the Night King thought. But he would not make the same mistake as the Prince. His army numbered one million exactly and he would have more if he had not waited for the Free Folk to gather in numbers. He should have struck all the clans at once. It was time and so the Night King roared and his army marched.
He sends a White Walker alone to the east and west. Through their eyes he saw a fleet of ships on both sides of the continent. It was time to show his power. The Night King channels his power through the two White Walkers. The winds start to blow, a fog rises and the two Walkers bend down and touch the sea water on the shore. The ice creeps across the water towards the ships.
RHAENYS
Rhaenys stands beside Lord Eddard Stark aboard the command ship. Her dragon Jaehak was resting on the Island of Skane near Skagos. "Something is not right."
"Aye its getting colder."
With her mind she summons her Dragon. Then she flies towards the coast, it is Jaehak who spots the Walker through the fog. "Dracarys!" She orders sensing her Dragon's rage. The flames have no affect on the Walker. She looks back over her shoulder as the White draws an Ice Spear and throws it. Jaehak turns sideways as the spear sails pass them.
Rhaenys flies towards the fleet as the sea freezes over. "Dracarys!" Her Dragon's flames slow the ice down, but not by much. Noticing the danger Lord Stark signals the fleet to sail. The outer ships are hit first and sunk. But the rest are able to row away from ice and chaos. Rhaenys uses Jaehak to free those ships stuck in the ice. The heat is enough to free a few ships, but not all. Then she spots Wights walking across the ice to the ships.
VISERYS
When Viserys sees the danger, he orders Rhael to swoop down on the Walker and scoop it up with his claws. They fly the trapped Wight far out to sea and drop it in the ocean. He loops around and flies back towards the fleet. When no further attacks happen Viserys lands and boards the command ship. "What now?" Lord Randyl Tarly asks.
"We wait to see what the enemies does next."
THE NIGHT KING
He lost one Walker to the depths of the sea and became enraged. But all was not lost, once he crossed the wall the Night King would bring millions more to his cause. When he reaches the wall, he raises his hands. The stones beneath the ice on the wall glow bright blue. The wall shakes as he brings his will and power down on the wall. A forty, foot section of the wall collapses, creating a debris cloud.
The Night King sends a hundred thousand wights towards White Harbor and sends another two hundred thousand south to face the Prince, his Dragon, and armies head on. He holds the rest back just in case.
AEGON
Aegon is enraged, angry at himself for underestimating the Night King. Thousands of men are now dead and some reanimated by a Walker. The rest of his forces are retreating south along the west coast. "Ser Barristan."
"My King."
"I intend to use very powerful blood magic. It will weaken me and place me in a coma for three days. I do not know what the Night King will do after that, but the defenses must hold until then."
"They will my King."
"My Uncle's forces are still intact, my sister's not so much. She will sail to White Harbor."
Aegon cuts his hand and allows Rhaexor to lick the blood."Rhaexor…Ais Domear sun calla." Rhaexor curves his neck looking up and gargles. Then a spits a ball of fire into the air. As the fire rises into the air Aegon points his bloody hand at it. It vanishes into the cloudy sky. Then the men of the army watch in amazement as the sky turns red and a few seconds after great balls of fire fall from the sky all across the north.
The balls of fire do hit any castles or villages, but they do strike the ground melting snow, burning trees, and scorching rocks. Wights obliterated in the flames. Walkers are thrown off their feet at the fiery explosions. Aegon hand starts to tremble and he breaks out into a sweat. His eyes roll in his head and before he hits the ground Ser Barristan catches him. The magic ends and the skies return to normal.
VISERYS
"By the gods you are powerful Nephew." Viserys says after the sky turns red and the balls of fire start falling.. "Make land fall and attack!" Viserys commands after the display of magic ends. The snow had melted so he sends the Calvary first and then the infantry and archers. As soon as they make land fall the Wights attack.
Armed with dragonglass and Valyrian weapons they make short work of what is left of the dead army. "Dracarys!" He commands again laying down flames, against the enemy. Thousands of wights burn to ash in the path of Rhael's fire. The fog starts to clear a sign that that the Night King's magic is weakening.
THE NIGHT KING
He had lost many wights to the fire storm. He too had underestimated the Prince. But now the Prince was in a weakened condition. He had two choices press the attack or retreat and wait many more ages to attack again. He decides to press towards the city with his remaining three hundred and seventeen thousand troops. They march towards the city and after a day of travel they reach the city.
The fleet on the East coast is miles away. The plan is t raise the dead in the city and withdraw. The Night King raises his hands and reanimates the people buried in the graveyard. As the dead rise up, wildfire is dumped into the yard and lit on fire. As he newly risen Wights burn in the green flames the Night King roars in anger. He decides to retreat back to the lands of always winter.
AEGON
On the third day after his magical attack Aegon awakens. "Ser Barristan."
"My King you are awake. Bring food!"
He looks around and realizes that he is in a room inside Moat Cailin. "Since we are here I assume that the Night King did not attack."
"No he did not my King. We received word from White Harbor. The Night King tried to animate the dead, the wildfire trap worked."
Aegon nods, "After I regain my strength we go hunting." He eats a very large meal and then meets with the Lords and commanders. "You all will remain here. I will fly to White Harbor." With Ser Barristan riding with him Aegon flies to White Harbor. While in the air he spots his sister Rhaenys flying towards him and the fleet not far behind.
The snow was beginning to fall again, but the ground where the fire balls hit still held heat and so the snow melted in places. Some of the woods like the wolfswood and others still burned; all except the Iron Woods. After a quick meeting Rhaenys and Aegon fly North to meet up with Viserys. The forces following Viserys numbered over a hundred thousand strong.
"We will lay down a wall of fire to dispel any wights in our path, after I will use my magic to manipulate said fire and then the army will follow." The Dragons fly from east to west laying down the wall of fire, then Aegon cuts his hand and pushes the wall of fire northwards. Viserys and the fire priests add their magic to help.
Ice is melted, grass, and trees burn in the path of the walking flames. Rivers and lakes boil, pnds are licked up in the flames. On and on they go making slow progress. Meanwhile Rhaenys flies ahead on her Dragon and with the other two Dragons lay down more fire. Aegon and the fire priests put out the fires as they go forward allowing the army to march.
THE NIGHT KING
The Night King finds another heart tree and with his hand on the tree he saps the magic from the tree restoring his own. Then he finds another and drinks the sap restoring his strength even faster. He could sense the Prince coming for him and the wall of fire. He could not hide this time, this Prince was born of fire and ice and he would find him.
"It is time we faced one another Prince of Fire and Ice!"
The Night King marches south once again with what is left of his army. Most of the Wight animals he animated from death still lived and he had three giants left from of the ten he originally had. After a week of marching they approach the wall of fire. Using his magic and that of the Walkers they dispel the wall of fire.
AEGON
This was it the moment he had been born to, his destiny. The time had come to face the Night King and do that which Azor Ahai could not. Aegon draws his sword and runs across the field. "To your King!" Viserys yelled following in his wake with the rest of the army.
Arrows flew overhead, arrows with Dragonglass heads. They reduced to ranks of the Wights, as arrow after arrows is fired at will. The Calvary charge from the left and right while the Dragons burn from the rear. With his speed Aegon cut down Wight after Wight with no more than one or two swings. Then he is confronted by two Walkers. Their speed equal to his, but his Valyrian armor protecting him from real harm.
Aegon breaks their ice swords in one swing and then he catches the Walker on the right in the shoulder. It shatters into a watery mist. The second Walker tried to impale Aegon through the face. He leaned to the side at the last minute. Enraged he takes off the Walker's head with one swing. The hours drag on and every time Aegon gets close to the Night King, he backs away.
"My King…I think that creature is trying to wear you down before he faces you." Lady Obara says joining him.
He nods, "You are right." Aegon withdraws from battle for a short time. He summons his Dragon and mounts it. From the air Rider and Dragon spot the Night King. They swoop down and scoop him up flying towards the Fist of the First Men. Rhaexor drops the Night King and lands. Aegon dismounts as Rhaexor flies off.
