Nina Smith hadn’t always been Nina Smith.That wasn’t even her real name.Her real name didn’t even feel like her name.In a kinder world, she would have been born and raised as Carys Jones, beloved daughter of Welsh parents, Catrin and Arthur Jones. Carys would have grown up with loving parents in a small town in Wales with a little sister who would have been born two years after her. They lived close the sea and loved taking trips to the beach.But this is not that world.In reality, Carys Jones had been kidnapped from her parents by corrupted secret agents from the Lab by the orders of Dr Francesca Hawk. Her parents fought them off as much they could, but were eventually killed.Carys Jones was no more.Now she was 009.009 had been taken to a secret location in the Isle of Skye where other children had number tattoos on their arms just like her. They also had powers just like her.Which is exactly why the Lab had taken her. Although, the rest of the children had telekinetic or telepathic powers, 009 only had the ability to heal herself and minor injuries on others (small cuts or bruises).Or so they thought. Her actual ability was Biokinesis.It wasn’t just healing – It was much broader than that.009 was able to manipulate and create living organisms. Meaning that all the people around her were just flesh bags she could use to turn into plants, puddles of goo, erase from existence, turn into bugs/animals or absorb them for extra power. Using the biomass of plants, animals and even humans (including herself). Heal any wound or disease and even resurrect the recently dead. Change the structure of bodies and plants, create plants and even new types of plants never to be seen before.The possibilities were almost endless.Unfortunately for the Lab, they had only found that out during the Escape and the aftermath of that.Those poor, poor doctors and agents. Not.009 had always been the weakest of the experiments during her “stay” with the Lab. Among the powerful telekinetics/telepaths, her powers were quite lacklustre. Dr Hawk, or “Mother” as she insisted to be called, liked to frequently remind her of this fact every time they “spoke” in the most condescending, patronising way possible with a fake concerned expression on her face.Bitch.The other children were quick to pick up on this and bullied her just because they could. Especially 002 – that little bastard. Always thinking he was better than everyone (minus 001) because of his brutal displays of telekinesis during the tests. Why he wanted to please Dr Hawk so much, she’d never know. 009 was pretty sure the woman only saw them as fascinating objects that, while rare, aren’t irreplaceable.After all, 009 wasn’t the only 009 in the Lab. There had been a boy before her who used to be 009, 001 had told her once, but he’d died after going over his limits during one of the Lab’s sadistic tests.What a comforting thought for the new 009.Due to her supposed “weakness” and lack of progress to see if she could develop any telepathic/telekinetic powers like the rest, the doctors proceeded to conduct more deadly tests for her specifically.It was then that 009 knew what Hell was really like.They had her test deadly poisons and sat there and just watched as it was pushed out her system by her powers, her screams of pain ignored. The same was done when they set her on fire, drowned in a bathtub, strangled to death (only to resurrect herself), beaten by the guards, shocked in a metal chair, starved for who knows how long and so on and on it went……And they just sat there and took notes. No matter how much she screamed or begged for them to stop. They didn’t listen or care.If she didn’t hate them before then she definitely did after that.009 would have her revenge. Someday.And the glorious day finally came after 001 somehow (miraculously) escaped his room (prison) and began killing any doctors/guards/agents he saw.Till this day 009 still wasn’t sure if he’d planned this with the others because they too had soon joined him in the resulting blood bath.Wasting no time, she too joined her “siblings” and deliberately ran towards the guard trying to capture her. The confusion on why she didn’t run away instead was plain on his face but soon cleared when she gripped his bare wrist.Vindictively, 009 had watched as despair and pain filled his eyes as she slowly caused his skin to fall off, piece by piece. He couldn’t even scream much before she’d gotten impatient and rid him of his flesh, organs and bones. All that was left was a puddle of blood and other bodily fluids as it splattered on the ground among his remaining uniform.Damn, that felt good.009 remembered catching 001’s eyes as she continued her revenge while on the way out.His large blue eyes (which she’d always found kind of creepy) had glimmered with respect and slight awe. She remembered being flustered and annoyed then. All it took was murder to impress him and acknowledge her existence? Really? It was no secret that 001 thought everyone was below him with the exception of 011, who he appeared quiet gentle with.No surprise there. 011 was almost as powerful as him, despite her young age. He probably thought they were more alike and superior.Trust him to only acknowledge you when have a sudden power boost. She didn’t need telepathy to know that she just went from useless cannon fodder to powerful (dangerous) ally.Regardless, after taking great satisfaction in watching 001 kill Dr Hawk (she let him have the honour due to being captured the longest), 009 had left the Lab and never looked back.For the first couple of years after leaving the Isle of Skye, where the Lab was located, 009 lived on the streets and in abandoned places in the UK, along with 008 and 006.It was no surprise the that they stuck together, considering that they were closest thing to friends. They had each gotten along during the time at the Lab and 006 and 008 never looked down on her for her “weak” power.She had tried to get them to leave or go her separate way, but the two always found her again or stuck to her like glue. Perhaps it was good thing considering they were just, to the normal public eye, a group of homeless kids wandering the streets in the 90’s.She was only ten years old then while 008 was fourteen and 006 was eight.It had been near the end of September when they’d left and Winter was soon to come. 006 made sure they stayed warm with her Pyrokinesis and even helped with the cooking. 008 kept guard and made it easy for them to be left alone using her Telepathy. Her illusions really came in handy when running from the policemen or thugs.009 was in charge of food and healing. As disgusting as it was, she was able to gather all the rotten/uneaten food and make it new again, with no germs or anything. She’d first tested this on a rotten apple core, grabbed it with her hand and watched her powers erase all the rot, making it shiny and whole again before her very eyes. The left-over meat in the rubbish bins were trickier than the plants but she’d succeeded in the end.It was fascinating to watch wasted/rotten food become new again because of her powers. She could even create her own fruits and vegetables! At first, she’d had to use biomass from another organism such as another tree, plant or animal to change it into the desired fruit/vegetable/meat she wanted. Now, she could create it from nothing due to her finally having more exposure to the Sun. Apparently, by absorbing more sunlight, she gained more power (like a plant) and thus allowed her powers to advance. 009 felt proud. She’d always been the weakest.Take that Dr Bitch! Whose weak now?She only needed Sunlight to heighten her powers, and those bastards never knew. How could they? Dr Bitch had them all “safely” tucked into an underground base. For their safety, of course. Not.The sudden boost she got during the Escape was due to the amount of stress from the tests of torture that her powers has finally lashed out when she desperately needed them. Now looker at her, years later, she’d finally mastered her powers but had no need of them other than when dealing with a random (unfortunate) agent sent from the Lab.Because of course they’d want their “property” back.Assholes.No doubt they’d sent more after her for her “immortality”.It occurred in 2003, she was only 21 then and had faced off against at least 20 agents all by herself. 006 and 008 had gone their separate ways a year ago so they weren’t there to help.Those damned Lab agents had cornered her somewhere in the British countryside on her way to Wales, away from the public eye. Of course, they would. Bastards.Unfortunately for them, 009 had mastered using he Biokinesis without the requirement of touch. So, it was pretty easy to control their bodies like puppets, her hands waving like a conductor as she slammed them into the ground or threw them in the air.They did put up good fight though. Their weapons had some major updates and these agents were more, if possible, relentless than the rest. They brought that fucking shock collar for her!One of them got too close for her liking with that damned collar, so 009 had him choke on his own blood as it filled his lungs and watched his face become a blood fountain.It was last agent that gave her most trouble.He was silent, never getting distracted by her taunts, and quick on his feet so she was too slow to grab him with her powers. It was pissing her off along with the stupid thunder storm that randomly showed up. At last, 009 had him in her grasp after controlling the tree roots underneath him and had his body squeezed like an orange.Not a pleasant sight. But she was used to it.009 had landed in a nearby pond when the last agent had died and was just coming out the water when a bolt of lightning struck her directly and all she saw next was blackness.Thankfully, her regeneration powers had healed her up quickly before anymore Lab agents showed up. She checked her body for any remaining injuries but felt fine. Great even.She was not fine……per se….Ever since that day, her body had stopped aging suddenly. At first, 009 had thought her powers had slowed her aging. But, after a better examination, she noticed her cells regenerating rapidly since that day…..and was now stuck as 21 year old.Thank God for her shapeshifting abilities. Using her powers to modify her body, she’d changed the colour of her hair, eyes and even facial features. Skin colour was too hard to do due to it constantly regenerating to the point where even a light tan was impossible.How wonderful. She’d always wanted to be a vampire. Not.Its 2023 now, 009 currently resided in small flat in Wolverhampton City under the fake name Nina Smith. The first name had been 006's idea. It was the most similar to Nine. That was all she’d said on it when asked why. And that it was pretty. Typical 006. Smith was the most generic surname ever so 009 had stuck with it. Anything that didn’t make her stand out was fine. Appearance wise, she’d changed her natural blonde hair to brown and her eyes changed from green to dark brown. Skin was as pale as ever so there was no dealing with that.All in all, she was just another normal British “21” year old who worked from home, had no friends (besides her Lab siblings) and enjoyed staying indoors rather than going out.
Hmmmm….Isn’t it my day off tomorrow? I’ll grab some donuts from Lidl and watch some videos on YouTube.
Oh, how the Lab doctors would cry and scream in frustration if they saw her now.One of their greatest experiments, subject number 009, gifted with the ability of Biokinesis, just wants to eat cheap donuts and watch YouTube videos all day.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
As a huge fan of House of the Dragon, 009 wasn’t really that upset with suddenly being teleported into the ruins of Old Valyria.Even though it looked like shit. Toxic air, broken buildings, scattered bones, killer Firewyrms, mutated animals and God knows what else was here.She’d miss her sisters, of course. But they would want her to savour her freedom from the Lab. She was finally free of those bastards! No more running or hiding! It’s time to live the life she wants.And right now, she wanted a dragon – Desperately009 loved all the Valyrian lore and how they could ride dragons. House Targaryen were mad to give that up for a xenophobic country and an ugly chair. Chaining dragons down in a pit, rarely riding them since their busy with their plots, having to placate the snobby Lords and Ladies if the dragons twitch funny. They’re dragons! What do you expect from them?! To act like guard dogs?Fucking Westeros. Fucking Andals.009 pushed those unpleasant thoughts aside and focused back to the present.Time to get a dragon!With all the dragon corpses and eggs available in Valyria, she easily created a dragon for herself. Using the bones of a massive dead dragon, the fresh corpse of a Firewyrm she killed that tried to kill her, and some of her own blood, 009 had merged them all together into a new fully grown dragon. Her ability to control and create organic matter allowed her to give it new life.At first, she’d tried creating King Ghidorah from Godzilla: King of the Monsters, but abandoned the idea when she couldn’t replicate his lightning breath. A pity. That would have been so cool! And so – Aegorax was born.A giant, three-headed, red scaled dragon with the same bright green eyes as hers. He looked bigger than Vhagar, but that could be because of his extra heads.
How curious. I wonder if the eye colour is the result of my blood added in during his creation? Oh, well. It doesn’t matter. Looks badass either way.
Despite her lack of Valyrian blood, Aegorax both loved and was fiercely protective of her. Through their bond, 009 could feel that he thought of her as his mother. How cute. Seeing as neither the toxic air nor the dangerous creatures could harm her due to her regenerative powers automatically protecting her, 009 decided to stay on Valyria for a while, eagerly exploring the ruined ancient land.This was how she’d found a shit ton of dragon eggs, dragon bones, Valyrian steel weapons, armour and many other priceless treasures. No clothes though, sadly. So, she was stuck with her baggie brown hoodie, white tank top, black leggings and black converse shoes. 009 just made sure to keep the bacteria and dirt away from her only set of clothes via her Biokinesis. With no sweat, dirt or germs on them, all she had to do was make sure didn’t rip or tear them.Clothes can come later – Dragons now.It was one of her greatest dreams to have a dragon. Most little girls loved cute little unicorns but 009 had always preferred dangerous dragons. Their ability to fly whenever they want, their magnificent fire breath and just everything about them fascinated her, capturing her heart.After taking numerous long flights with her beloved Aegorax, giving his three heads affectionate pats, 009 made sure to stay away from cities by flying high above the clouds, the thin air not bothering her at all. The perks of having supernatural powers.Having spent entire two days on dragon-back, neither she nor Aegorax not minding since her Biokinesis healed away their fatigue and aches, 009 decided stay on Valyria on her third day here. While Aegorax was happily munching on some fat Firewyrms that tried attacking them, she’d decided to grab some of the dragon eggs and hatch them.It did not matter that they were all cold to touch and had already turned to stone. One touch of her hand and the first egg started warming up immediately, the shell re-gaining colour and glowing silvery-white. CRACK!009 watched in delight as the shell cracked open and slowly broke away. To her great surprise, instead of one dragon, there were two! That explained why the egg was bigger than usual. The two young dragons detangled themselves from each other and turned towards her, their bodies almost identical but with some obvious differences.One had white scales with stunning violet eyes, while its twin had silver scales and but the same violet eyes. Both chirped at her and eagerly nuzzled her hand in affection, their bond full of unconditional love towards her, their mother.
Huh. That’s interesting. Looks like any dragons I create/hatch see me as their mother. And it looks like that “you can only have one dragon” rule was a lie. I can feel my connection to all three of my dragons. Maybe Targaryens just suck at bonding with multiple dragons? Or it was because they lost their magic or something? Who knows?
The white dragon was a girl – She named her Starfyre.The silver dragon was a boy – Quicksilver was his name.
Baby dragons are so cute!
009 was in Heaven. She was cuddling baby dragons! If this was dream, she hoped no one woke her up. She felt her heart swell with love as they nestled against her chest. So cute!While softly brushing their underbellies, 009 felt their stomachs rumble and quickly held her hand out to the side and waited. Soon, some of the mutated animals came zooming towards them, their bodies under her control. Once they got closer, she snapped their necks and had them torn into small pieces for her baby dragons.Starfyre and Quicksilver looked at the fresh meat in the front of them and then at their mother, tilting their heads in confusion. So cute!
Ah. They like cooked meat, don’t they? Hmmm…..Let’s see if they can do it themselves first. If not, then I’ll do it for them. Or Aegorax can.
“Starfyre.” Her little girl perked up at her name.“Quicksilver.” Her boy narrowed his eyes at his mother, waiting for instruction.
“Dracarys.”
For a moment, the twins just shared a look before facing the meat and releasing very squeaky roars. Hot air blasted out of their mouths, heating up the meat until it caught on fire and was roasted. Satisfied, they happily started eating.009 giggled, clapping her hands in delight and pride. Her hatchlings were already growing up.After her twin dragons finished eating, 009 had Aegorax keep an eye on them as started hatching more eggs. It was so cute watching them flap around the older dragon.009 pressed her palms on two fossilised eggs and watched as they started glowing, both eggs being different colours. One was pink while the other was purple.CRACK!The pink egg hatched first, a small face poking out the shell, its pink eyes already locked onto her. With her matching pink scales, 009 jokingly considered naming her Barbie, but restrained herself. That would have been funny. Petting it gently on her lap, she created a mini flower crown on top of its head. The hatchling was surprisingly tolerant of it and didn’t shake it off.She named the pink dragon Venus.Another scaly body nudged her side as the hatchling from the purple egg joined Venus on her lap. This one was purple like its shell, with blue eyes and clearly a boy. 009 named him Thanos since his scales reminded her of the purple Titan.
I wonder if he’ll have a big ass chin like the original Thanos? That’ll be hilarious.
Luckily for her, her previous twin hatchlings took their new siblings under their wings and showed them how to cook their food so they could eat. From the bond between them, 009 can feel their eagerness to show off to their siblings, and a need to assist their mother since they knew she still had a lot of things to do.009 blinked at that.
Huh. My hatchlings are pretty intelligent. I wonder if that’s because of me or Targaryen dragons are just dumber in general. I remember Drogon being a little shit when he was younger. Thank God my dragons aren’t like that. They could be in the future, but I doubt it. Maybe I’m just a biased mother.
While her hatchlings were busy with food, with Aegorax watching them, 009 decided to do something different with the next dragon.Grabbing the next fossilised egg and a huge bone from a deceased dragon, she placed them together on the ground and smeared some of her own blood on top of it. Concentrating on her power, 009 placed a hand on top the pile and merged the egg, bone and blood together, giving it new life.And that was how Terrax was born.He was a huge dragon but nowhere near Aegorax’s great size. He had forest green scales, bright green eyes and massive curled horns similar to a ram. They were jet black and made him look more intimidating with how big they were. His body was also bulkier like Drogon, scaled muscles clearly evident.Boy looked like he went to the gym every day.But he still purred in that odd growly sort of way all dragons do when she gently brushed his scales. She could feel his love through their bond and his intense need to protect her. He looked terrifying but was a clearly a softy at heart (for his mother, at least).Her four hatchlings hopped around him, fascinated by their new bigger sibling. To her amusement, Terrax only rolled his eyes them, not minding their childish behaviour. He knew these were his weaker (for now) siblings and that his mother would be very upset with him if he harmed them.
My smart boy. And he’s got my eyes too, like Aegorax. Looks like that only happens when I add my blood. I wonder if they get any of my powers too? So far, Aegorax hasn’t shown any so maybe not.
Dismissing her thoughts, 009 petted her green boy one last time before grabbing Firewyrm meat for him to eat since he was a big boy. After thoroughly cooking the meat with his green flames, Terrax happily chowed down, enjoying his first meal.
Green flames, huh? Not the normal fire colour. Just like Aegorax’s red flames. Is it my blood doing this or my Biokinesis? Or both?
Terrax was sat next to his three-headed sibling, the hatchlings trying (and failing) to steal pieces of his food. Huffing a laugh at their behaviour, 009 picked up another fossilised egg, focused her power into it and waited.CRACK!The shell glowed and then broke off in different directions as the hatchling inside was very eager to get out. A black dragon was now in front of her, hopping into her lap and stared at her with its dark eyes, practically demanding cuddles.009 laughed and quickly scratched under his chin and brushed her fingers along his spine. Bossy little thing, wasn’t he? She felt his almost worshipful love for her through the bond and his need for attention. This one was going to be a little brat. She knows it.She named him Syndorax, for his dark colouring. Like a shadow.Eventually, she got him to join the rest of his siblings so he could eat, leaving her with the next egg.009 decided to try something different with this egg. Placing a couple of drops of her blood on it, she then placed her hand on the shell and pushed her power into it. The egg went from stone cold to glowing hot.CRACK!Out of the broken pieces of the egg emerged a stunning blue dragon with bright green eyes. Hopping eagerly into her lap, she noted something strange on the sides of its throat when petting there.Gills!009 was shocked. How?!
I..I did not know this was possible. A dragon with bloody gills?! Like a fish?! It looks like this one partly got my ability to adapt to different environments, like in underwater. Wow. A dragon that can breathe underwater! Hopefully it can still use its fire. I should check, just in case. But I need a name first….
The blue dragon nudged her hand when she’d frozen in shock. 009 quickly started petting again and figured out it was female. So, a girl name was needed for this one.Thinking back to all the Valyrian words she studied, 009 picked out the perfect name for her little sea dragon.Embarion – The Blue Sea dragon.Wanting to check her fire breath, 009 quickly got a piece of meat and set it in front of her.“Dracarys, Embarion.”Her little blue hatchling stared at her cutely for a moment, before releasing an adorable roar, hot steam instantly cooking the meat.009 breathed a sigh of relief as the blue dragon began eating, her smaller siblings gathering around, curious and wanting to play.
Looks like the gills don’t affect her fire breath. It’s the same as her siblings.
009 gave a look to her big boys, Aegorax and Terrax, wordlessly asking them to watch over their smaller siblings while she continues creating two more dragons to add to their family.Aegorax gave a soft snort, his middle head keeping watch of the hatchlings, with the left and right heads watching their surroundings.Terrax stood near his elder, three-headed brother, his feelings of protectiveness easily felt through the bond as he kept his eyes on the hatchlings.The next dragon she brought to life was done the almost same way she created Aegorax – by merging a Firewyrm’s corpse with old dragon bones. She didn’t add her blood this time to see if anything different occurs.The result?A gigantic black and red dragon, slightly smaller than Aegorax and Terrax, is born. He was a fearsome looking beast with his thick dual-coloured scales and scarlet eyes. He reminded her of a mix of Drogon and Rodan from Godzilla. She could sense his fiery temper, mischievous personality and absolute love her through their bond. Watching him shake off the remaining biomass off of him (biological material used to create him), his red scales slightly glowing orangish-red like the Firewyrms, standing out among his black scales.He looked like a volcano in dragon form.Vesuvius. 009 named him after Mount Vesuvius. She thought it fitting.
That sounded like a Valyrian type of name, right? Whatever. I think it sounds cool.
Her new troublesome son allowed her to pet him for a while before he flew off, wanting to hunt his own food instead of letting his mother and brothers do it for him. 009 wasn’t worried (much). She could sense him through the bond and even see through his eyes if needed so she let him be. Such a prideful son she has.009 giggled as she watched her hatchlings grumble as they watched him leave. They wanted to show off their hunting skills too! So cute!She felt Terrax’s irritation with Vesuvius’s rash decision to hunt by himself instead of letting their mother feed him. He felt insulted on her behalf. Her green boy was so protective of her.Aegorax ignored his prideful new sibling, keeping his eyes on the hatchlings instead, but she could feel his annoyance at Vesuvius’s actions. Her three-headed boy believed his new brother should show more respect to their mother.009 rolled her eyes fondly at her stubborn boys but ignored their grumbling and turned her attention to the last dragon she’d create (for now).For this one, she was inspired by Caraxes and the World Serpent from God of War. Grabbing the last egg and dragon bones, 009 placed them together and turned it into one clump of biomass. The clump merged into one huge, glowing blob before it grew and took shape.A brilliant white dragon was now in front of her. Its body was as big as Terrax, but much slender, with a long serpentine neck and red eyes like fresh blood.“Jormungandr.”At his name, the serpent-like dragon bowed his head down towards his mother and gave a trilling cry as she gently petted him.Aegorax quickly nudged over a Firewyrm corpse towards his last brother. No doubt wanting to prevent him flying off like Vesuvius.009 laughed at that while Jormungandr just stared at his eldest brother.“Jormungandr.” His red eyes snapped back to her at his name, waiting to hear what his mother wanted. Like the rest, she could feel love between them in their bond and his devotion to her.
“Dracarys.”
Understanding filled his red eyes and he took a deep breath, blasting out a stream of white flames at the meat. He then happily gorged himself on his first meal.
White flames, huh? I wonder if Starfyre will have the same?
Exhausted from all the birthing/creating she’d been doing, 009 summoned Vesuvius back through the bond and curled against Aegorax, ready to sleep. Her hatchlings climbed over her body, finding a comfortable spots, their small claws ripping her modern clothes.
Ah, fuck it. I’ll get some new clothes tomorrow.
“Dracarys!”
I’ll never get tired of saying that. I remember how badass Daenerys looked every time she said it. Hehe. Now it’s my turn! It even feels good to say! 006 would have loved this.
009 grinned, feeling incredibly proud and satisfied as Aegorax, Terrax and Vesuvius rained down their multicoloured flames on the screaming Stonemen and Firewyrms. It was quite beautiful to watch from a distance as red flames, green flames and Vesuvius’s black flames mixed with red, merged together in a huge stream of vibrant fire.Needless to say, the area was cleared of all threats very quickly thanks to her boys.As soon as they had woken up, 009 had decided to move from where they were. Apparently, she’d been teleported into central Valyria when she first got here, which explained all the dangerous creatures always attacking them. Of course, they were no match for 009 and her overprotective sons. The hatchlings also wanted to fight but she had sternly ordered them not pick a fight with anything bigger than them. Almost all of them listened to, except for Syndorax. Her jet-black hatchling was eager to fight and was caught sneaking off many times. That cheeky little brat, she thought fondly.After flying high above Valyria for a little while, 009 chose to settle down south from central Valyria, on one of the little islands that had been broken off by the Doom, near the coast where the Smoking Sea was. That she only recognised due to the literal smoke rising from the boiling sea.After clearing the small island of dangerous creatures via dragonfire, 009 had brought life back into island.Everywhere she walked, life bloomed into being. 009 had taken off her shoes and socks to sink her power directly into the ground wherever she walked. Grass began to grow rapidly and regain its natural green colour, wildflowers bloomed, different types of trees shot up from the ground, towering over her. There were apple trees, orange trees, mango trees, coconut trees, banana trees, pear trees and so on. Vegetables such as potatoes, cabbages, eggplants, onions, peppers, carrots and more popped up, all growing big and healthy.The toxic particles in the air were cleared away by her Biokinesis, allowing fresh air to remain on the small island. Even the sky above them returned to its normal blue once she’s purified the air enough. But these changes only happened on this small island she’d claimed. The rest of Old Valyria was still fucked.
Right now, I don’t know if I could heal all of Old Valyria like I did in this small portion. I don’t even know if I should stay here or look for a better area to settle. For now, this small, broken piece of Valyria is enough for me and my dragons. Besides, I want to loot some Valyrian steel while I can. I want some armour like Rhaenys had when she rode on Meleys, crashing the Greens pathetic coronation of fuckboy Aegon. And maybe a helmet like Daemon’s?
“Roar!”Starfyre flew up onto her right shoulder, roaring cutely and nuzzled her face, making 009 chuckle and push away her thoughts on badass armour. Quicksilver, Venus, Syndorax, Embarion and Thanos quickly followed their sister and started cuddling their mother.Her big boys – Aegorax, Terrax, Vesuvius and Jormungandr – stood guard around them but waited for their mother’s next instruction. Well, Aegorax and Terrax did. Vesuvius was flying above them impatiently, while Jormungandr had flopped down to rest. Her lazy noodle boy.
I’ll get my armour later. Looks like I need to feed my children now.
Children. 009 had children now.Oh, how her sisters would have loved them!At least she wasn’t alone in this crazy new world now.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
“WOOOOOOOOOOO!”009 held nothing back, screaming to the heavens, absolute joy on her face as she flew atop of Aegorax, who roared with all three of his heads, feeling his mother’s happiness. She could practically hear the Targaryen theme playing in her head, thinking of Rhaenyra on Syrax flying over Kings Landing in episode one.Wind battered her face as they flew above the clouds, the thin air not bothering her due to her biokinetic powers allowing her body to automatically adapt to any environment.009 laughed as they did some loops in the air, feeling giddy. She was flying! On a bloody dragon! FLYING!
Ah! This is the life! No more Lab! No more hiding as a regular human! No aeroplanes to look out for in the sky! No drones! Just me and my dragon.
No matter how many times they’d flown together, she would never stop being excited when it came to dragon riding. Dragon riding!Of course, this time was even more enjoyable due to the makeshift saddle she’d made for Aegorax. It looked similar to Vhagar’s massive saddle (from what she remembers of it). The saddle was made from wood which was then covered in leather made from a Firewyrm corpse. It was surprisingly comfy and resistant to heat. Since the leather was fire resistant, she’d made the wooden seat the same too, tinkering with its DNA to make it so. This gave it a more reddish-brown colour to match with the red Firewyrm leather on top of it. Instead of metals chains and collars, she’d attached incredibly strong vines around Aegorax’s neck which connected to her saddle. To match the look, the natural green colour of the vines was turned red by her will. She’d even created a cushion-like plant to sit on for more comfort.009 was so grateful for her biokinetic powers. All she had to do was gather the wood, Firewyrm corpse, vines and just place her hand on top of it, letting her power shape and turn it into whatever she wanted.
I can’t believe I used to hate my powers years ago! I was so jealous of everyone in the Lab having Telekinesis and Telepathy that I thought mine was shit. Especially since I was weaker back then. How the tables have turned! If I ever complain about my Biokinesis then I’m getting Aegorax to sit on me till I see sense.
“ROOOOAAAR!”009 blinked, her thoughts pushed aside as she looked left and right. Looks like Vesuvius and Jormungandr had decided to join them. Through the bond, she could feel Terrax watching over the hatchlings down on the small island they’d claimed. Her big green boy was always so responsible and knew that one of them had to look after the hatchlings while they went flying.She felt a twinge of envy and longing from Terrax, wanting to join them. My poor boy. Don’t worry, you’ll get your turn. He relaxed at the reassurance and affection she sent over their bond, continuing to watch the hatchlings dutifully.Gripping the reins, 009 wordlessly instructed Aegorax to fly upwards even further. A mischievous smile was on her face as Vesuvius and Jormungandr roared in confusion at the sudden change of direction. Giving them a sly glance, 009 decided to replicate Laena’s trick with Vhagar.
“Dracarys!”
Obediently, Aegorax spewed out large red balls of fire into the air with all three of his heads.Laughing, 009 had Aegorax dive down to avoid them, but watched as her other two sons flew right into the fire. Even Aegorax was laughing at them as his brothers shook off the flames, grumbling as they turned back around, heading towards the ground.THUD!Landing back on the ground, 009 brushed Aegorax’s scales with affection and appreciation. Jormungandr landed a little away from them, promptly going to sleep and Vesuvius had flown off elsewhere, still grumpy about their trick. Such a moody dragon.Once she’d climbed down from her saddle, she was soon bombarded by her hatchlings, each of them missing her but whining about leaving without them. They wanted to fly too!So cute! Venus and Starfyre were cuddled to her chest while Syndorax and Thanos perched themselves on her shoulders, nuzzling her face. Quicksilver and Embarion were on the ground near her feet, rubbing their heads on her legs like cats.Terrax then came forward, closing his eyes in content as 009 gently brushed the scales on his neck. She held back a laugh as he gave off a growly purr.
It’s like having a bunch of scaly cats!
“Are you still hungry, little one?”Syndorax puffed up at that, not liking being called little. He growled at her, dodging her head pats but reluctantly nodded in confirmation as his stomach rumbled.Holding back a laugh, 009 grabbed a nearby larger-than-normal avocado which she’d grown. Levitating it above her palm, she concentrated and willed its entire DNA to change. Its dark outer skin soon became a light pink colour, morphing into a piece of raw chicken breast that was now hovering in her hand.She smiled as Syndorax perked up; his dark eyes glued to the fresh meat now floating in her hand.
“Ipradagon.”
Tossing it towards him, the black hatchling quickly caught it, setting it on fire while in his mouth and gobbled it down.
Ah. So, he does have black flames like I’d suspected. Looks like all my dragons are gonna have unique coloured dragonfire. Nice!
After they all had their evening meal, 009 laid back down on the grass where she previously was, looking up at the clear sky.Getting rid of all the particles causing pollution and toxicity in air was a good choice since it had the effect of pure white clouds returning along with the normal blue colour of the sky. When she first got here, the sky was an ugly brownish colour with dark clouds full of acid rain, blocking out the sun most of the time. While their little island was now safe to live on, the rest of Old Valyria still looked like a shithole.
Should I name this island? Can I? I feel like I should have the right to after practically bringing it back to life with my own power. I grew all the plants, got rid of all the monstrous creatures, cleared the air and even purified the huge lake on this island! It was the only water here I could purify since the surrounding ones were directly connected to the sea which was way too much for me to do. Thank God the lake was separated from the sea. Made things way easier.
009 glanced to her right where her hatchlings were all playing around near the newly purified lake with Aegorax, Jormungandr and Terrax laying down and keeping an eye on them. Vesuvius was flying above them, his body appearing like a small bird from this distance but she knew he was there through their bond.Watching as Embarion dived down into the lake for long periods of time, 009 was glad she cleaned it up. It was much easier to test her little sea dragon’s ability to breath underwater with a clean source of water nearby. She did not want try it out in the Smoking Sea. Hell no. Placing her hand into the lake, she’d erased all the (unneeded) bacteria and dirt instantly. The result? They now had a huge lake full of freshwater.To help Embarion with her first swim, 009 had gone underwater with her, quickly creating gills on her own body – And added a mermaid tail just because she could. It was easier to swim that way, anyway. It wasn’t anything new since she’d done it back on Earth after 006 had suggested trying it years ago. With Biokinesis allowing her to shape living beings to whatever she wanted, it wasn’t really hard to change human legs into a fish tail. Of course, it helped that she knew the anatomy of different sea creatures when transforming into the world’s first “mermaid”.She remembered when she’d first done it, 006 had squealed so loudly her eardrums shook.Her sister really loved mermaids. Who knew? She also made 009 watch some show called H20: Just Add Water. It was interesting (the water powers were intriguing) but not something that she usually watched. Still, it wasn’t bad. The Austrialians had some good TV shows. That Charlotte girl was really annoying though.009 had made her mermaid scales white. 006 preferred the orange-bronze mermaid tails from that show she was obsessed with, but also enjoyed the sight of pearly-white scales on her tail.For their first swim, 009 had taken off all her clothes and left them next to Terrax. Her dutiful green boy would keep them safe from her naughty hatchlings. Especially Syndorax – the cheeky little boy. While she doesn’t mind nudity, having her tits out and in the way was pretty annoying. If they were smaller, she wouldn’t care. To solve this, she transformed the skin over her breasts into white scales, matching her tail. You could still see the shape of her breasts but it was now covered in scales, the nipples no longer visible.Embarion was a natural at swimming, after initially being nervous when diving in. Once she got used to breathing water instead of air, the both of them had explored the lake. The were a lot of odd-looking fish around here. There were fishes that had multiple heads, bloated bodies, strange antennae sticking out of their bodies, glowing scales and some were species of fish she’d never seen before. At least the aquatic plants were pretty normal. Most of them.Regardless, Embarion enjoyed her first swim and even discovered that she could use her dragonfire underwater!Some kind of aquatic creature had foolishly tried to make a meal out of them. It had a large body like a beach ball, bulging eyes with no pupils, two antennae with glowing tips and sharp teeth.009 had casually froze its body midway in its charge towards them. Its wide mouth was still agape, body wiggling to get out of the invisible hold it was trapped in. Just before she could finish it off, Embarion had darted forward, anger coming off her small body. Her little sea dragon was angry that it tried to harm her mother. How sweet. 009 had watched in disbelief as Embarion’s throat started glowing blue, her small mouth opening right in front of the now terrified mutant fish.Water immediately heated up, bubbles appearing as brilliant blue flames were spewed from her sea dragon’s mouth. It took a while, but the mutant fish was burnt into ashes. Ashes that began floating about in the water. Gross. With a wave of hand, 009 erased them from existence, not wanting that in her lake. I’d just cleaned it, damn it! Embarion swam back to her, preening and wanting more cuddles as a reward. Green eyes met green eyes before 009 huffed out a laugh, petting her head. Of course, her daughter would be this strong already. She was made from her.
Such strong flames this early? I suppose it makes sense since she has my blood and wasn’t hatched normally…
009 shook her thoughts away and got back to the present. It was near sunset now and they were all just relaxing by the lake after eating. Her hatchlings were obviously fed first, while her big boys preferred hunting their own food. Aegorax, Terrax and Vesuvius were probably reducing the Firewyrm population with how they keep hunting them down. Jormungandr, on the other hand, enjoyed some of the alien-like fish they caught from the lake.As for herself? 009 had levitated some kind of blob-like fish from the lake, placed her hand on it and changed it into delicious cod fillets instead. Yum. If she had some chips then it would have been a perfect meal. There were potatoes around (which she grew herself) but she wasn’t in the mood to do more cooking than necessary. Could you blame her? If you had the choice between dragon riding and cooking, it’s obvious which one you’d pick.Since they’d got on this island, they’d either been staying outside or in the large caves. 009 didn’t mind either option. The nights they’d spent outside were nice. There was no rain so far and with her dragons cuddled up with her, she had no problems with that arrangement. Terrax and Jormungandr liked the caves, while Aegorax and Vesuvius preferred being outside. The hatchlings were always where she was (naturally). Leaning against Terrax on the soft grass, with all her dragons were blissfully asleep except for Aegorax whose heads took turns on night watch, 009 stared up in wonder at the foreign constellations in the night sky. She wondered what they were called. Did they have names here? Wait. Of course, they had names. Wasn’t there one called the Ice Dragon? The Maesters would probably know but she’d rather eat shit than ask those grey rats.Shifting slightly, 009 grimaced as her clothes moved too. The brown hoodie was riddled with small tears and holes. Playtime with hatchlings really sucked for her only clothes.
I can’t stay in my modern clothes. They’re not gonna last much longer. But where should I go for some new clothes? Its not like I could order online or go to the nearest mall. I have no fucking clue where anything is besides the obvious. I’m currently in Old Valyria, which is in Essos. I know the Free Cities are in Essos. Volantis, Lys, Pentos, Braavos and…..I forgot the rest. Whatever. It’s not like I’ve got Google in my head. What’s important to note is that slavery was still legal here. Except Braavos, I think. I can’t just go barging into some random city, casually shopping for clothes. The huge-ass dragon I’d be riding on would definitely gain the first target on my back. I’d attract slavers, nobles and I don’t even want to think about the attention from Westeros. What era was this, anyway? Is Daenerys around? Or this the Black Queen’s era? Oh, God. Please don’t be during Bran the Broken’s reign!
009 grimaced in disgust. Ugh. All that trouble for fucking Bran “High as fuck” Stark to be sitting on the throne. Or was it his wheelchair since Drogon melted down the Iron Throne. Nope. She was definitely staying away from Westeros.
I may not remember the exact geography of this place but I do know that the Narrow Sea is between Essos and Westeros. Just have to make sure I don’t fly near or over it like an idiot. Fuck Westeros. Fuck their politics. Fuck the Iron Throne (if its still there). I’m staying in Essos, slavery be damned. While Old Valyria may look like Chernobyl, its still better than Westeros. I have may own little island and my dragons can do what they want here.
Westeros may not do slavery, but for women, it was all the same. The Andal culture dictates women as broodmares and pretty things on their husbands’ arms. Their obsession with female virginity was beyond creepy. They hate women in power too. Just look at what they did to Rhaenyra. They didn’t even name her queen in the history books because she was a woman. Didn’t they fat shame her as well? Bloody sexist grey rats. Those Maesters really need to die.
So that’s a Fuck No to Westeros. Women have no power there even if they have a dragon. Rhaenyra and Helaena had dragons but no one feared them. Nobles and smallfolk talked shit about them behind their backs freely. Maegor with Tits and the Crazy Princess. God, even Dany was dragged down once she got to Westeros. From the Breaker of Chains to Mad Queen. Rhaenys was just tossed aside like trash even though she was the rightful heir to the throne. What did they call her? Queen Who Never Was. All these ladies had dragons. Dany had fucking three! Did that grant them more power and prestige? No. So what chance do I have over there? God knows what name they’d give me! Probably be wife number seven to some fat old lord, his family claiming my dragons while I’m just used as a breeder.
009 bit her lip, feeling rage at the thought of being used again. No! No more. Not again! Never again!In frustration, her hands gripped the soft blades of grass beneath her. Within her grip, the grass slowly began to morph into stinging nettles.009 snapped out of it when Aegorax’s right head gave a huff, his green eyes full of concern and nudging her through their bond.009 sighed, laying her palms flat on the nettles and turning them back into grass again. There was no point in getting pissed off about it now. As long as she stays away from Westeros, all will be fine. For her clothing problem, she’ll just make do with some biomass clothes. It’ll be a bit uncomfortable, since it’d be made of biological matter that would only take on the appearance of clothes. While it won’t be real clothes, it would be easier to handle since she could just repair instantly if they got ripped or burned.Eventually, she went to sleep, cuddling with her draconic children.
Finally. Something new to wear.
009 patted down her new black clothes. It was similar to Rhaenyra’s black dragon riding outfit, only with a higher collar and golden patterns. She didn’t want to fully copy the Targaryens by choosing black and red. The outfit was made from tree branches, some grass and leaves. Of course, you wouldn’t be able to tell that by looking at it. Once she’s gathered the materials needed, she had placed her hand on them and watched as it became a large greenish-brown blob of biological matter. With her hand still on the blob, she’d willed its shape into her chosen clothes. The biomass covered her body, becoming her first official dragonrider outfit. Even her boots were made of biomass. While it looked like regular clothing, it’s texture was a mixture of leather and soft sponge. A hood was also added on just in case. The overall result looked quite badass.Her hair was done in a complicated big, long braid. She wanted to honour Daenerys in some way with her braids. Thankfully, she only needed to take control of her locks with her powers, creating the perfect look she wanted.009 decided to discard her old clothes entirely. It would have been nice to keep them but they were way too strange for this world. And they were tatters now anyway. Syndorax and Thanos, the little menaces, took great pleasure on tearing up her hoodie.One Dracarys later – goodbye old clothes and hello new ones.Of course, her search for some Valyrian steel armour continued. If she was going to be a Dragonrider, then she might as well go all out.In the morning, after feeding her dragons and getting used to her new clothes, 009 had set off with Aegorax and Vesuvius, back to central Valyria. She’d left Terrax and Jormungandr back on their island to watch over the hatchlings. Jormungandr, with his easy-going nature, didn’t mind but Terrax had grumbled at that. He wanted to go with his mother. But, like always, he understood why she took his brothers with her instead. Aegorax for the best protection and Vesuvius due to his restlessness and desire for adventure. Her volcanic boy took after her when it came to wanderlust.Flying above Old Valyria, the ashy air not bothering them due to her power, 009 was on top of Vesuvius now. The change of mounts didn’t bother her. She didn’t really have a “main” dragon to ride like the Targaryens did. All her dragons were an option for her, not just one. Aegorax was just the one she rode on most of the time due to him being the being strongest (so far) and the advantages of his three heads.
They did say three heads are better than one.
009 laughed a little at the thought, gripping onto the reins as she and Vesuvius flew around the peninsula, high in the air. If it weren’t for the off-putting colour and ominous clouds, Valyria didn’t look too bad from up here. They continued flying around above the ruined land. She wanted to memorise how the land looked from above before she got started on her search for Valyrian steel armour. There’s got to be at least one in her size, right?As she and Vesuvius dove in and out of the clouds, Aegorax flying near them somewhere, 009 thought about her identity in this new world.
I’ve always been number 009. I know I had a real name before the Lab stole me away but it never felt like me. I’m not “Carys Jones” anymore. I haven’t been for years. Names were for people who felt whole. I’ve never felt like a real person so I accepted 009 as my prime identity. “Nina” was the fake name I tolerated since it sounded the most like Nine. But can I do that here? Having a number as a name was strange on Earth, so it’d probably bloody weird here. Not that anyone could do anything about it with my power and dragons backing me up. But I can start over fresh now. A couple of days here and I’ve already felt so much better than back on Earth where I’m constantly hiding from the Lab and nosy humans. I still don’t feel like whole person, but I’ve never had so much freedom before.
009 contemplated this as she stared down at Old Valyria, enjoying the wind on her face as Vesuvius flew above the land. Were those the infamous Black Stones down there? She narrowed her eye but dismissed it for now and continued on flying. Now what name should she choose for herself? Something Valyrian, obviously.But what?
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Well…..this was quite a surprise.After flying over central Valyria, 009 had Vesuvius and Aegorax land near some of the broken buildings. The ground was covered in nastiest looking grass she’d ever seen. Naturally, once she’d took her first steps on it, whatever radiation/dangerous bacteria was erased away, a ripple going the grass as her Biokinesis pulsed through it, turning it back into vibrant green and healthy blades. The toxic air had no effect on her. Her power keeping her unaffected.Her dragon boys were fine too, since they were connected to her, which protected them from the silent biological threats in their current surroundings.009 was now staring at the pile of Valyrian steel she had successfully looted after checking through eighteen buildings. It took her eighteen bloody buildings to find armour that fit her! Finally!Vesuvius and Aegorax stood guard on both of her sides, one taking his duty seriously while other wanted to go off and fight something. If she didn’t know any better, then she’d have thought that her sisters had reincarnated as her dragons. Vesuvius was too much like 006 while Aegorax resembled 008 with his temperament. Maybe I should have named them 008 and 006? It’d be hilarious but her sisters would probably feel the insult from a world away and retaliate via petty revenge pranks. Somehow. Shaking off those thoughts, 009 looked back at the pile on the ground. She’d found more than just Valyrian steel here, but those objects weren’t important at the moment.Bending down and kneeling on the ground, 009 ran a hand over the smooth black armour, her fingertips lingering on the dragon scale designs on the breastplate. But that wasn’t what shocked her about it.It was blood.She could sense the blood which was somehow mixed within the ancient metal.
I…..guess that makes sense. The Valyrians were known to use fire and blood magic. They must have fused their blood into the metal when forging it in dragonfire. Damn! That’s badass!
With her hand still on the armour, 009 slid her palm over the fascinating ripple patterns and felt her eyebrows go up in surprise as she registers something else about the blood.Most of it was Type O Negative – A universal blood type.
Interesting. I wonder if that was done on purpose? Did the Valyrians have ways to figure out blood type? I know they were an advanced civilisation, but not that advanced! Maybe the different types of blood were specifically used for their rituals? They did love their blood magic.
Her eyes lingered on one of the Valyrian steel daggers she’d found. I wonder…..?Retracting her hand from the breastplate, 009 thrust her arm out, hand open like she’s waiting for someone to hold it, faced towards the dagger.She felt her Biokinetic power flow through her and connect to the blood within the dagger. Feeling some kind of invisible tug, 009 flexed her fingers and watched as the dagger shook on the ground before hovering in the air and zooming into her hand. Thankfully, she caught it handle first.“Haha!” 009 let out a giddy laugh, squeezing the dagger’s handle in disbelief. That actually worked!Exhilaration ran through her as she realised what that meant. I can recall my weapons! Like Thor and Mjolnir! Even the armour! Oh, 006 would be so jealous if she knew!With her excitement flowing through their bond, Aegorax and Vesuvius both leaned forward, sniffing the metal curiously. They wanted to know what got their mother so thrilled.“It’s alright, boys. Your Mum just got a bit excited.” Gently pushing their snouts away, 009 smiled and gave their scales a pat in reassurance.009 suddenly stood straight, her smile vanishing. Her head turned left towards the mutant-looking trees, sensing something approaching. Something huge.Aegorax and Vesuvius growled, snapping their heads towards the trees.Her eyes widened as they landed on the intruders, quickly stopping Vesuvius from roasting them as his throat started glowing with dragonfire. He roared, whining at her through the bond, but she ignored it as the long-necked intruders slowly emerged from the trees.
Is….is that what I think it is?
Brontosaurus.Four of them!009 felt like she just stepped into Jurassic Park. They even looked like the ones in the movies! Albeit, with some obvious differences. Their leathery skin looked off. It had large, ugly splotches scattered across its body, the skin appearing a sickly brown colour. Their tales had spikes on them and the eyes…..had two pupils. Two in each eye! If she were a lesser person, then those creepy yellow eyes would have been disturbing.But 009 grew up in the Lab. She’d seen worse than this.Aegorax’s right and left heads were at each of her sides, the middle head was directly above her, all three growling at the four dinosaurs. Vesuvius was next to him. She could feel his eagerness to fight through their bond as he roared at them.Dinosaurs ?! In Old Valyria?! Since when was that a thing? Or maybe they were always here but no one ever knew due to the Doom? So many theories on the mysterious creatures lurking in here, but I don’t think anyone suspected bloody dinosaurs. Ah, shit. Does that mean there are T-Rex’s running around here too? Wonderful. I’ll have to keep a better eye on my hatchlings then. Or just get by big boys to eat them. Whatever works. The group of dinosaurs were oddly calm in the face of two large dragons, 009 observed, her eyes narrowing. Did they have no survival instincts? Were they dumb?And then the one at the front of the group opened its mouth, its face snarling.Teeth.It had razor-sharp looking teeth, similar to her dragons.The other three followed the actions of the first, all appearing to get ready to charge towards them.009 stood where she was, bracketed by Aegorax’s heads.“Vesuvius, dracarys.”She sensed his giddiness through the bond at her command and happily blasted a stream of black and red flames towards the group of brontosauri. They had only taken a few steps before being engulfed in dragonfire.009 wrinkled her nose, the odd high-pitched screeching they emitted before turning into ashes hurt her sensitive ears. Ugh.Thankfully, her boy knew not to overdo it so the whole area didn’t suddenly catch fire.Turning away from ashes of their corpses, 009 gently nudged Aegorax’s left head out of her way and crouched down by her loot, staring at it thoughtfully.
Now, how to take all this back to my island while on dragonback? My saddle doesn’t have space large enough for it. Hmmm…Maybe I could create a box to stuff it all in? A huge wooden box. Since I can’t strap it on backs of my dragons, I’ll place it on the underbelly with vines wrapped around it. I’ll also keep a hold on the box through my Biokinesis during the flight – just in case. It’ll be a little uncomfortable but worth it.
Placing her palms down onto the ground next to her pile, 009 focused her power and watched as a large, square wooden base formed underneath her loot. Four equally large squares materialised as the sides of the box. The lid formed last, slotting in perfectly at the top of the now wooden box.Getting up, 009 brushed a hand over the wooden lid, her palm flat on the top, using her power to fuse it together with the sides. There. Now there’s no risk of the lid accidently coming off. It looked like huge wooden cube now.009 smiled, satisfied and turned around back towards her wonderfully patient (semi-patient in Vesuvius’s case) boys.“Alright, boys. I’m done. We can leave now.”Amusement filled her at the relief she felt from Vesuvius. He was practically saying ‘Finally!’ through the bond.Aegorax’s middle head merely blinked down at her while the other two were still on lookout duty. But she could still feel the pang of relief from him as well.The flight back was as uncomfortable as she’d thought it’d be, but satisfying. She’d rode on Aegorax this time, the box carefully strapped on his belly with vines, her keeping an invisible hold onto to the wooden box through her Biokinesis. She’d had to keep great concentration on the wooden box, just in case it slipped through the vines (it didn’t).While still focusing on the wooden box, 009 couldn’t help but smile in anticipation as they soared through the clouds.
I can’t believe I’ve actually got Valyrian steel! Especially that armour! Ha! Take that, you dumbass squid!
She’d always felt a little salty at the fact that, of all the people in the world, fucking Euron Greyjoy was the only one with Valyrian steel armour.
And if I have my way then he’s never getting the opportunity to either. I know he won’t be born yet, but there’s no way I’m letting that slimy bastard getting his manky hands on any Valyrian artefacts.
Volantis
In a massive red temple, more commonly known as the Temple of the Lord of Light, the High Priest sat in front of a large fire, staring into the flames. He sat there, unmoving for a while until he suddenly gasped and backed away, as though awakening from a trance.“Azor Ahai!”He clutched the front of his red robes, his eyes widening before his mouth formed into a jubilant smile. Sweat formed on his forehead, as though he’d taken a long run, and his expression turned feverish.He stood, staring back into fire again, an obsessive and worshipful look in eyes.“Azor Ahai has returned to us!”With his eyes still on the on fire, the flames twisted into an image of a young woman in scaled armour riding a three-headed dragon.
Westeros
Deep in the Red Keep, where the skull of Balerion was placed, the many candles in the room suddenly brightened, the flames burning intensely. The sight would have blinded anyone if they had been present.Sadly, no one was.
