Chapter 300: The Sun Hasn't Shined Yet
(Third Person POV)
"Baelon." Drakken said, "Please stop."
Baelon reached him and swung his sword, only for the two Duskguard Knights to have blocked his blade with their shields, causing it to bounce back. They had lunged to defend their God with blinding and shocking speed.
"Tch....!!" Baelon exclaimed, "You fucking....what did you do?!"
Alyssa walked over to their parents, "M-Mother...." She said, "Father...."
"Baelon, stop it!" Jaehaerys exclaimed as he stood up, "This is not the time for this!!!"
Baelon looked back at him, "What has he done?!" He exclaimed, "I am not going to stand here and allow him to spit in the face of our House."
"I've done that too many times by now." Drakken chuckled, "But let me tell you something."
He waved his hand and Baelon was flung past them, hitting the ground hard as he grunted in pain.
"Ugh...." He managed
"I have grown tired of this." Drakken said, "At this point, I won't even try to fight back. Baelon, you never stood a chance against me. Anyways, I am about to monologue.....so stand still for a second....."
Drakken began to rub his neck as he emitted a dark aura, the sclera of his eyes blackening out as dark veins appeared under his eyes. His two Duskguard Knights simply straightened up and stood there, menacingly, watching them closely.
"What....." The Young Daenerys said, "What is going on? I....my head hurts..."
"How long has it been, Jaehaerys? Since we've met?" Drakken said, "Well...no matter. Since then, my power didn't grow, it simply slowly reverted closer to it's original state. Over the years, I have added more and more power to myself, recharging myself. Think of it as the embers being slowly stoked until the raging fire reignited. If that makes sense to you lot.....well, my point is.....I am at a point where I can do some things I missed doing. Like this..."
He clapped his hands, and suddenly, a pillar of black miasma appeared behind him as a figure emerged from it.
Jaehaerys widened his eyes as he saw that Maegor Targaryen was standing behind Drakken, a serious glare on his face, "Curses..."
Alysanne's face went pale, "It is true..." She hugged Daenerys tightly, "M-Maegor...."
"Teleportation Sorcery....." Drakken said, "I have some variations of it....and this is my favorite kind; the one that makes a great entrance."
Baelon stood up, "You fucking asshole..." He said, "I won't let you get away with this. You've instigated a conflict between us and the Faith. What gives you the right?!"
"Nobody gives me anything." Drakken said with a smirk, "I take it."
Maegor took a step forward and drew his sword, "I've been patient enough." He said, his eyes staring directly at Baelon, "I will destroy this runt."
"Maegor, don't!" Jaehaerys exclaimed as Maegor rushed past him and lunged at Baelon
Baelon parried Maegor's blade with Dark Sister, stumbling slightly as he was pushed back by a shoulder tackle.
"Tch...!" He managed to compose himself
"You little runt, I will crush you." Maegor swung his sword again, "You are not worthy of being a Targaryen."
Baelon dodged the swing, "Who are you to decide that?!"
The Prince tried to counter with a thrust but Maegor sidestepped and swung his fist hard at his face, hitting square in the nose and sending him falling back.
"You fool." Maegor said with a menacing glare, "I am Maegor, Son of Aegon."
Baelon clutched his bleeding nose, "You....."
Alyssa stood up and walked over to Drakken, "Please, Drakken!" She exclaimed, "Stop this, I beg you! I will do anything you want if you spare Baelon! Please, I beg you! I already gave you my life to join the Trinity, please....just ask, I will do anything!"
Drakken looked at her, "You gave yourself to the Trinity to save yourself and your son." He said, "What could you possibly have to offer to save this fucking imbecile?"
Alyssa got on her knees, tears forming in her eyes, "I...I don't know...." She said, "Tell me...I will do whatever you tell me, I beg you....M-My Lord....!"
Drakken smirked slightly, "There it is...."
"Alyssa...." Jaehaerys said as he looked at this, the clashing of steel was loud behind them, "What are you doing?"
"Don't judge, you just did something similar." Drakken said as he crossed his arms, "Go on, Alyssa....call me that again...."
"M-My Lord.....L-Lord Drakken...." Alyssa said as she shed tears, "Please.....spare my husband...."
"Oh, he is not going to die...." Drakken said as he tilted his head, "But for my precious worshipper, the Princess Alyssa.....I might consider stopping his torment...Maegor!"
Maegor stopped as he parried Baelon's blade and pushed him away, "Huh?!"
"Finish this." Drakken said, "But don't kill him."
Maegor spat on the ground and his purple eyes glowed a bit, "Fine...."
Baelon swung his sword at him, cutting him through his armor and into his side as Maegor stood there, unfazed.
"W-What...." Baelon said as Maegor grabbed the blade of Dark Sister, glaring at him, "I got him....but...."
"You're too green." Maegor said as he swung his sword at his chest
The sword cut Baelon in the chest, causing blood to spray out and reeled him back as he let go of his blade.
He fell to the ground, "aghh!!"
"Baelon!" Alyssa exclaimed as she ran over to him, "My Lord, you promised!!"
"Ah, he'll live." Drakken said with a shrug
Maegor pulled Dark Sister from inside his body and dropped his other sword, "This....." He said as he walked over to Jaehaerys, staring him down with a scowl, "Belong to my Mother.....and I will have it returned to me. I will not have any objections...."
Jaehaerys looked at him, "You...."
Maegor stood right in front of him, "You are Old, Jaehaerys...you stupid little shit...." He said as he spat on the ground, "With so many children, hm? You are fortunate indeed....even more so that you knelt down to the God that brought us back; me and your little spawn."
Jaehaerys narrowed his eyes, "Maegor...." He said, "It is a nightmare to see you...."
"Good." Maegor walked past him, blood pouring from his armor, "That is what I wanted."
"That little fight didn't last long." Drakken chuckled, "You are quite the brute, hm?"
"Shut up." Maegor said
"Ah." Drakken said as he snapped his fingers and Maegor was suddenly on his knees, "Watch your tone, dog."
Maegor had his eyes widened in pain as his bones were being broken repeatedly, "Ggghhh!!"
Alysanne and Jaehaerys watched this, in complete awe to see someone as fearsome as Maegor to be manhandled by Drakken. They should not have been surprised, considering all the things he was capable of.
Drakken looked at Jaehaerys said, "As your new god, I will now relay my first order to you, Jaehaerys." he said with a slight smirk, "I want Septon Barth's head. Doesn't matter how many Stormlanders or Reachmen die for it....."
"He has to die."
