Chapter 2
The Dragon Reborn
Aegon opened his eyes to find himself in a void of darkness, his body surrounded by green light. He tried to move and was surprised to walk nimbly on his two feet. He tired to see if there is any lingering pain but he felt none, he looked at his feet and found them to be more stronger than ever and thought this was a dream.
"By the Seven, am I dead and entered the seven hells ?" he muttered as he pressed his hands to find his face unburned and for a moment he wished all of this was true. He took a few steps into the darkness and found the way light up by power from his hand.
"no" he roared as he recognized the green ring that attached itself to his fingers. "What sorcery is this ? Why don't this blasted ring come off" he shouted as he failed to remove the ring. A sudden voice startled him as he saw a spirit of a muscular summer islander appear before him.
"If you are seeing this recorded message, I am dead. My name is Jon Stewart I am Green Lantern of Earth 49, this ring is the greatest weapon in my universe. It grants it's wielder great power beyond any limit. To be chosen by the ring is a great privilege and honor, use it wisely and may Ganthet's light protect you" the spirit said before vanishing.
Aegon's head hurt as strange buzz was heard from the ring as memories of the summer islander fighting beside god like beings played in Aegon's head. He screamed from the explicit memories of the man's guilt over destroying a planet. He saw the same man in a green garb hiding in a bush with a strange weapon shooting a man several miles away. He did not understand what a "Marine" or "Architect" was, but saw the man was part of a team of gods called the "Justice League".
He saw other men and women bearing the same ring flying through the sky and fighting horrific being much larger than Balerion or the Cannbal. As he tried to calm down, he heard a female voice from his ring as a floating lantern appeared before him glowing with green power.
"Aegon Targaryan, welcome to the Green Lantern Corp. I am Aya, the AI within your ring. This is the first time the ring choose a human of such primitive origins. You must understand that the ring is far more advance than any technology on your earth or your universe. I can help you understand the ring's functionality" the strange voice echoed.
"The ring has healed you of your injuries and shared eons of knowledge of the Green Lantern Corps. As soon as connection can be established with the Central Power Battery on OA, you can meet the Guardians" the voice continued as Aegon struggled to make sense of the memories of the ring's previous wielders.
"is this true, the gods had finally shown mercy on me? They grant me this otherworldly weapon to avenge my family?" Aegon asked surprised to believe his luck. 'If only this ring reached me a moon ago, I could have healed Sunfyre' he lamented the loss of his golden companion.
"they will all pay, tell me more of this ring's powers" he yelled to the invisible voice as a plan formed in his mind to extract revenge for his slain sons, wife, and brother.
"The ring creates energy constructs using the wielders will power, the stronger the will the powerful the constructs. The ring's functions include: Flight, Energy Projection, Energy Construct Creation, Force Fields, Superhuman Strength, Phasing, Environment scanning, Will Empowerment, Invisibility and Light refraction, Energy Absorption, Limited Cellular Regeneration, Electromagnetic Scanning, Galactic Encyclopedia, Universal Translator, Material Alteration, Wormholes and Spatial Warps, Emergency and Homing Beacon, Mind alteration, Pocket Dimension Access, Thought Relay, Security Protocol, and in some rare cases Time Travel and Emerald Sight" the voice finished.
Aegon did not understand many of these terms but his mind could easily understand and visualize all said powers as though the ring has shown him how every power can be used. The sheer magnitude of the rings power terrified and excited him. 'This ring is not a power meant for mortals' he shuddered at the thought of such a ring in Aemond's hands or worse Daemon's. The sadistic pair had killed each other at the Trident leaving only Aegon and Daeron to fight the others.
"Be Warned Green lantern, the ring's only weakness is it's user. Emotion affect the ring as fear and rage would distort it's power and weaken the bearer's will while hope empowers it" the voice of Aya reminded him through the ring. Aegon will be damned if he let such a gift from the gods be lost or destroyed by his weakness. His body felt reinvigorated as if he was fourteen name days again. He will test the ring and gain mastery over it and woe to his enemies who stood in his way, he smiled as excitement of his new weapon coursed through his body.
Suddenly his surroundings changed and Aegon found himself hovering on a hill top near Dragonstone. The vast narrow sea filled his sight as he could not believe he was flying as he willed himself to fly higher the ring obeyed and Aegon felt himself gliding through the sky like a winged bird. He could not compare it to dragon riding but this was methodical like a bird and he knew from memory that he can fly at the speed of light which made his head spin.
The sheer knowledge from the ring made him a god among mortals, he suddenly know how to cure diseases that human eyes cannot perceive, technological advancements unheard of, knowledge of roads, buildings, machines that old Valyria could not even imagine in it's prime, and weapons that could devastate stars and world itself. This power would indeed be dangerous in the wrong hands. For the first time he thought of the smallfolk who could lead better lives and the good he can do to westeros with this knowledge.
He flew higher and higher as he crossed the clouds and the light around him shone brighter across the black skies and buzzed with power as Aegon looked down. His world was thousands of miles below him. He was afraid and amazed at the world spread below him. He flew to a height no mage or dragon has ever flew, he is a king and he will behave as one once he reclaimed his birthright. He will punish the wicked and protect the innocent and will change Westeros for the better.
A smile spread across his face as words poured out of his mouth as he placed his ring in the lantern he summoned "In Brightest Day…In Blackest Night…No Evil Shall Escape My Sight…Let those who worship evil's might…beware my power… GREEN LANTERN'S LIGHT" he finished as light engulfed him and he conjured a great green dragon out of pure will and rode it towards dragonstone.
Note: I am excited for the next 3 chapters as they cover two major battles from the canon. Please comment.
