Prologue

297 AC

On a peaceful morning, the residents of Dragon stone are awakened by a powerful roar, Lord Stannis with Ser Davos and 40 men, went to investigate. Only to find a site that they can only describe as legend giving form. A great dragon stands before them, as Stannis look at said dragon, the great beast looks different from what he learned from Cressen during his childhood. The dragon has an entire upper body covered in black, round, scales, which, in turn, are decorated by spiraling, blue markings. His lower body, specifically his chin, chest, stomach, inner tail, thighs, and arms, are gray in color, and appear to be smooth. The dragons eyes are white and beady, and his head is round and blunt with four, large, elongated plates extending backward. The dragons mouth is full of razor-sharp teeth, and, attached to his chin, is a protrusion that resembles an arrowhead. His large wings are feathery in appearance, akin to a bird's. The scales disappear at the end of the dragons tail, which, in itself, ends in a stinger-esque shape. The man is scared and only Stannis words keep them in line.

Then the dragon spoke, "little mouse, where am I?"

The men are shocked they never could image that a dragon can speak.

Stannis manages to gather enough strength and answer "you are on Dragonstone."

The dragons white and beady eyes, look down at Stannis, as if to take a measure of him. "Who are you, little mouse."

Stannis answered, "I am Stannis Baratheon, Lord of Dragon stone."

After a moment of hesitation, he asks the dragon, "May I have your name."

The dragon looks at Stannis amused by the question. He answered "I am known by many names little mouse,

The Black Dragon

The Black Dragon of the Apocalypse

The Dragon King."

The man was scared at the names giving to them, then the dragon spoke once more. "You will address me as such."

Stannis then bowed and his man followed. "May I ask why you are on dragon stone your grace."

The dragon king laughed, which made the man jump as they were not expecting this great beast to laugh.

"Looking for worthy caretakers for my siblings." he answered.

This shock Stannis and his man. Stannis found his voice and then said, "I will assist you to the best of my abilities your grace."

The dragon looks even more amused, "no need, I have found two already" looking directly at Stannis who after a moment realized what the dragon just said, his man was shocked as well.

The dragon spoke again "there is a little pup in the castle bring her to me, little mouse."

Stannis quickly ordered his man to bring Shireen to him, and Davos went to get her.

Stannis with worry written all over his face ask the dragon "what do you plan to do with her."

The dragon looked at Stannis and automatically realized that the little pup is his seed and went ahead to calm him, "no need to fear little mouse, no harm will come to your seed by my hand."

Stannis released a breath he was not aware he was holding.

Soon enough Ser Davos arrived with 3 people and Stannis introduced them to the dragon.

"Your grace, this is my daughter Shireen Baratheon, my wife the lady Selyse Baratheon nee Florent and my advisor Melisandre of Ashai."

All three looked at the mighty beast in front of them with fear and awe but were curious as to why Stannis was calling the beast, "your grace."

To their shock the dragon spoke. "Storm child, step forward"

Shireen a little hesitant, but stepped forward, "do you know of your bloodline?" Shireen shakes her head saying no.

The dragon turned to look at Stannis, "you've failed to tell her of the blood that runs through her veins, she is the descendant of gods boy!"

Before Stannis could speak the dragon turned back to Shireen "you are the descendant of the God of the sea and Goddess of the wind, you and your father are part of the true line dating back to them."

Shocking them all, people thought that those stories were mere myth.

He turned to Stannis, "is there more of you little stag."

Stannis shock that he was not referred too, as "little mouse" anymore answered, "My brother Renly, lord of storms ends and my brother the king Robert Baratheon and his 3 children."

The Dragon stood on all four for the first time and said "send for them, I will meet the last of my father's children" shocking everyone present.

He looked at Shireen and Stannis "you two will refer to me by my name, Acnologia, now step forward" they oblige, he lowered his head, and his eyes began to glow, and out of nowhere a circular light appears in front of the father and daughter duo. 2 baby dragons appear, and they catch them.

Acnologia spoke once more, "the one you hold now young stag is my brother, his name is Metalicana, and the one you hold little pup is my sister, her name is Grandeeney."

Everyone is looking at the baby dragons, their lord and lady are holding, in awe at what they were seeing.

Acnologia, spoke again "in 6 moons I will return to meet all of my father's descendants, and they better be here waiting for me. Little stag" he said to Stannis.

Stannis still stunned shook his head, in acknowledgement.

''they are yours, no one else, if anyone dares to remove them from you, inform them when I come back, they will now why I am calling the Black Dragon of the Apocalypse'' with his peace said he roars and flap his wings and fly away disappears in the distance.

Stannis orders them to return to dragon stone, he has a lot to do.

Cressen manage to find a few- a very few- books and scrolls of dragonlore. It seems even the Targaryen's consigned most of it to dust. He's set men to digging out the old dragon pit, but as of yet the hatchlings are barely the length of his arm. Consigning it to the depths can wait. Instead, there is this little room, the window long boarded and the door easy to lock. Cleaning it out had taken barely an hour, even with the hatchling around his neck. It took a lot of convincing to get Shireen to agree to let her dragon stay in said room.

Now, the difficult task begins. He needs to write his brother.

"Come to Dragonstone." No, he wouldn't dare command a king. "Your presence is requested." He sounds like an anxious mother. "I have a dragon." Even more impossible in ink. He writes two sentence sand send a raven to kings landing.

In kings landing,

Varys informs the small council of what happened on Dragonstone, to their shock, Pycelle decided to read the letter that Stannis sent for the king, informing him of the dragon demand and their houses origins. They all think Stannis is losing his mind, but the Hand Jon tells Robert it is in his best interest to go to dragon stone to see if those words are true. Robert decided to go to Dragon Stone and bring his court with him.

Words reach the 7 kingdoms about Stannis and his daughter having dragons. Tywin is displeased and plans to have Robert force Stannis to give his grandchildren the dragons and makes his way to dragon stone, the Tyrells and Martell's are concern about the whole situation. In the north when lord stark read the letters from Jon Arynn, he his shock while his kids want to meet the dragons, he decided to take them to dragon stone, while leaving his wife and his youngest son Rickon as the stark of Winterfell behind.
