(Third Person POV)
[Stony Sept]
Drakken was sitting down on a wooden chair, looking up at the sky when the roar of a distant dragon was heard.
He looked to the side, seeing the figure of Vermithor approach the town, "Ugh..." He said with a frown, "What now...?"
Fortunately for him, most of his detachment had departed to act on his plan to hit the Reach Armies in an ambush. Remaining with him were only around 150 Duskguard knights who were camped out.
They all looked up to see the dragon landing hard on the field in front of them, Vermithor snarled viciously as King Jaehaerys and Queen Alysanne were atop him.
Drakken looked at this with an annoyed look on his face, "What do they want?"
Next to him, a couple of feet away, Riktor and Sylas were crouched down, drawing on the dirt.
"That's not a good tactic, Sylas." Riktor said, "To attack a phalanx, you need to outmaneuver their spears and take advantage that they can only point forward. Then, focus on a shield, break it and pressure that point."
"But....what if they can aim their spears at multiple directions..." Sylas said
"Not everyone would be like you!" Riktor said, "We're talking about regular spears and shields!"
"But the Duskguard-" Sylas started
"The Duskguard aren't the enemy." Riktor cut him off, "We're talking about inferior armies!"
"Boys." Drakken said as Jaehaerys and Alysanne approached them, "You are in the presence of the King and Queen, who left the Red Keep unattended...."
He said that with a tone of sarcasm, which Jaehaerys instantly recognized.
Riktor and Sylas straightened up and looked over to Vermithor, who was letting out a rumble.
"That dragon is bronze." Sylas said
"Yea, I know." Riktor said
"Not a bad color." Sylas told him
"Well, he's not black." Riktor said, "Nor gold, like yours."
"Yes." Sylas nodded, "Leonydas is better."
Drakken smirked, "Of course he is."
"Drakken." He said seriously, "I knew you were not going to stand back quietly. Of course, you are participating."
"What are you talking about?" Drakken asked
"Why are you here?" Jaehaerys asked, "So close to the Reach?"
"Can't take a stroll in my own territory?" Drakken shrugged, "This is Stony Sept, Jaehaerys."
"I know where we are." Jaehaerys said, "We come here for one reason only....my wife needs to speak to you."
Drakken raised an eyebrow, "Is that so?" He asked, "Tell me, Alysanne....how is the sweet Daenerys? Oh, is it related to her? She shouldn't be displaying symptoms yet....I was going to examine her in a couple of weeks....."
Alysanne frowned, "What? Should I be worried?"
"Not really." Drakken tilted his head, "I did no modifications, unlike Maegor....so there should be nothing to worry about. So....what is it you want?"
Alysanne pulled the top of her dress down slightly, revealing the Mark of The Trinity, "What does this do to us?" She asked, "I have been suffering some aftereffects..."
"Aftereffects?" Drakken asked, "What do you mean? The only aftereffect is discomfort in your heart...."
"It is not that." Jaehaerys said, "She has been having strange dreams....dreams of the future."
Drakken shrugged, "Is that not normal for you Targaryens?" He asked, "I read in your tomes that your Conqueror had dreams.....and the whole reason your House survived the Doom was because of Daenys the Dreamer. Daenys...that is a good name, not even going to lie. I might mention that to Maegelle when I impregnate her again.....damn.....I want to have sex with her...boys, we might actually leave early now."
"What?! You promised!" Riktor scowled, "We were going to see some bloodshed!"
"shhh...." Drakken placed his finger on his lips, "Don't speak nonsense."
"You got too excited, brother." Sylas frowned
Riktor looked away, "Ah...."
Alysanne looked at Riktor, an uncomfortable look on her face, "I...." She said softly, "I've had these dreams....ever since getting the Mark.....they feel so real.....they...."
"What? You think it's something I did?" Drakken asked, "Hm.....well, if you don't normally have those Dragon Dreams....well, it might be my influence....."
"How?" Jaehaerys asked
Drakken shrugged, "Don't know." He said, "Maybe the Mark opened a connection to the Dragon's Blood more clearly and allowed Alysanne to dream into possible futures. That is what prophetic dreams are: possible futures. Although they are highly probable.....like, close to absolute certainty. But those prophecies can be avoided, it is quite easy.....for someone like me, however.....plebs like you fall quite easily to said prophecies."
Jaehaerys looked at Alysanne and said, "That could be it...."
Alysanne sighed, "I thought as much...."
"Do these dreams bother you?" Drakken asked
"Yes." Alysanne said
"Well, keep having them. I don't give a shit." Drakken chuckled
Alysanne scowled, "You...."
"They are not harmful, aren't they?" Jaehaerys asked
"They're just dreams." Drakken said, "Similar to the Greensight."
"W-What is...." Alysanne said suddenly, "What is Tyrian'Cal.....?"
Drakken frowned and looked at her, "What?" He asked, "How the hell do you know that? I haven't even mentioned that to anyone....Hell, I was contemplating in teaching that to these boys."
"Tyrian'Cal?" Riktor asked, "Sounds like Sol'Tyr....is it something related to him?"
Drakken nodded, "A law with a stupid name that Sol'Tyr created during the fall of a Kingdom a long time ago." He said as he leaned back, "It was quite ironclad, and it basically saved a lot of headaches back then."
"W-What does it do?" Alysanne asked, "I need to know."
Drakken crossed his arms, "Basically...." He started, "Tyrian'Cal is declared when either a Noble House or a Royal House has fallen in battle. For example, if I go and take King's Landing right now and destroy everything, i can declare the Tyrian'Cal Law. But to execute it, those who worship the Trinity must be completely versed in the details of the Law. I can't just go right now and do it, what would be the point?"
"And what does it really do?" Jaehaerys asked
"I forgot the most important detail of the Law." Drakken said, "In this example, House Targaryen, The King has to be dead."
Jaehaerys scowled, "What?!"
"It's an example, calm down." Drakken smirked, "With the King dead, leaving his wife widowed, the Leader of the Trinity.....in this case...Me.....can declare Tyrian'Cal. And what it does is basically declares The Queen, her daughters, or any other non-combatant relative, as V.I.P Hostages. Very Important Person is what that means. By that point, the Queen would be the Queen Dowager."
"H-Hostages...." Alysanne said softly
"This is mostly used when the widow of the Head of the House and her relatives are extremely valuable...and I mean very valuable....like their mere presence is considered a gold mine." Drakken continued, "In your case, you and your daughters are Targaryens, capable of obtaining dragons. If, say....I were to kill Jaehaerys and destroy your armies....it would leave your daughters vulnerable to being targeted. Especially if Aemon and Baelon are also killed, another example. Tyrian'Cal is declared and you and everyone you are related to are automatically protected. Anyone touches you is marked for death. It is taken very seriously, or at least it is supposed to."
Jaehaerys narrowed his eyes, "And why have you not done something like that?"
"As I've said, there is no point." Drakken told him, "And besides, I don't like doing it. I don't really give a shit about using Tyrian'Cal, my word is enough to keep my enemies or anyone else from touching any of my hostages. However.....there is another caveat. In order for Tyrian'Cal to be truly in effect....the Dowager Queen must be bedded."
Jaehaerys scowled, "What?!"
Drakken chuckled, "You heard me." He said, "For every hostage, excluding herself, the Widow must spend a night bedding the Leader of The Trinity. For example.....If we count the little princes.....Alysanne must be bedded.....I don't know, eight nights?"
Alysanne's face went pale, and she immediately looked at Riktor who was a bit surprised by this piece of information.
"What a vulgar fucking Law!!" Jaehaerys exclaimed, "Why would you create that?!"
"Wasn't me." Drakken shrugged, "But I am curious in why you would know that, Alysanne.....why are you looking at Riktor?"
Drakken glanced at Riktor who noticed the Queen's pale face while she looked at him.
"Hm?" He said, "Why are you looking at me funny?"
Drakken looked back at Alysanne and then back at Riktor, "Oh." He said, "Ohhhh..."
Alysanne looked at him and stepped back, "W-What...."
Drakken chuckled and stood up, "Don't worry, Alysanne." He said, "Those were probable futures. There is a high chance that it could happen....but Fate can be rewritten."
"Especially by me."
