House of The Dragon-A God Amongst Men

(Third Person's POV)

As dozens of soldiers marched through the hallways of the Red Keep, King Jaehaerys was able to be heard shouting commands. 

"Gather all of my children safely!!" He bellowed, "Get me my sword!!"

It was around thirty minutes after Queen Alysanne had informed Prince Aemon about what had happened, the Lady Jocelyn was affected by some sort of sorcery that Drakken performed. While she did not seem to be harmed in any way, it was the scare that alarmed Alysanne greatly. And what was more odd for the Queen is that when someone uttered his name near her, she did not feel confused or lightheaded as usual. 

The Kingsguard found the Princes and Princess in a hallway, seemingly exhausted as they leaned against the wall. Prince Baelon had claimed that his sword, Dark Sister was stolen by Drakken after he had left them in that condition. 

Jaehaerys walked up to Aemon, "Aemon!" He said, "Are you alright? What happened?" 

Aemon panted, "That fiend....that demon!!" he said, "He laid his filthy hands on my wife! My daughter!!" 

Jaehaerys looked around, "Where is Aenys, your son?" 

"I left him with Jocelyn's maid...." Aemon said

"Father..." Baelon spoke up, "I am sorry, I was helpless against him. He took my sword." 

Jaehaerys scowled, "That piece of filth...." He said with an angry tone, "How dare lay his hands on my family?" 

"I'm alright too, thanks for asking." Alyssa mumbled

Jaehaerys heard her, "Alyssa, I did no see you there." He said, "You were behind Aemon. Why are you so short, girl?" 

"Is that your response to me almost being killed?!" Alyssa exclaimed

"Take it easy, Alyssa." Aemon said

"Yea, relax!" Baelon said

"Where is Vaegon?" Jaehaerys asked

"He ran off with Ser Ryam, to be escorted to safety." Aemon said

"That is good." Jaehaerys said, "I have had enough of this. I am going to confront him." 

"Your Grace!" a guard called, "We have found him! He's in the Throne Room, in front of the Iron Throne!" 

Jaehaerys narrowed his eyes, "Children, get to safety." 

"Father, no." Aemon said, "We do this together." 

"Yea." Baelon nodded

"No offense, Father....but what good are you going to do? I stabbed him from the back and he didn't even flinch." Alyssa said

"I have to try something." Jaehaerys said, "Before everything crumbles down...something must be done." 

******

The doors to the Throne Room opened and King Jaehaerys walked in, being followed by thirty men that were armed. Prince Aemon and Prince Baelon were also next to the King as they walked towards Drakken, who was in front of the Iron Throne, his back to them. 

Drakken had Dark Sister in his hands, planted on the ground as he looked at the throne. 

"Every time I look at that thing, I bothers me of how poorly it was made." Drakken said, "Grab a thousand swords of my enemy and weld them together with my dragon's flames. It is a nice concept but a poor execution. There are safety hazards all around, a blade could cut anyone that sits on it. But....knowing you idiots, that is the point. A symbolic meaning to everything. A King should not be comfortable when ruling, is what the guy who made this thought." 

Jaehaerys had Blackfyre drawn and took a step forward, "So you've come, Drakken." He said, "After two years, you have shown yourself. You come and do nothing but torment my Family. What gives you the right?!" 

"Yea, I do not know what you were expecting, Jaehaerys." Drakken turned around to look at him, "That I would just show up and not do any of this. And what gives me the right? Nothing, I'll tell you that. I take it." 

Jaehaerys scowled, "I do not wish to see my Family be destroyed by a single man." he said, "And plunge the Realm into chaos in the process....what you did in the Riverlands was a disgrace!! What made you think it was a good idea to incite a conflict between two Houses and threaten House Tully to not step in." 

"Nothing made me think it was a good idea." Drakken said, "I knew it was a great idea! Don't overthink it, Jaehaerys. I do things because I want to. And right now, I could have slaughtered your boys if I truly wanted to. But I didn't. So be thankful. By the way, you lost this." 

Drakken flung Dark Sister up into the air and towards them. As everyone flinched at this, the sword spun in the air and landed on the floor in front of Baelon, planted right down. 

"W-What....." Baelon said as he looked at Drakken

"You know, when I was in my Tower for the past two years...." Drakken started, "I read. I read a lot. I came to learn that you Westerosi have a lot of traditions and hobbies. Of course, there are many cultures that have been mixed ever since the Conquest. But the one that caught my attention the most as that you lot like games." 

"Games?" Jaehaerys asked

"Yes, Games." Drakken said, "Tourneys. Jousting and Melees. But I'll be honest, I find Jousting to be fucking boring. How can you lot be so turned on by running at each other on horseback and pushing each other off with wooden poles? I don't get it. But that is beside the point." 

"What is your point?" Jaehaerys asked

"I came here for a Dragon." Drakken announced, "Whether it be a grown one or a Dragon Egg, I didn't plan on leaving King's Landing without one. I have yet to decide which one, really. I could get the Bronze one or the silver one. Or maybe the big black one that is just sleeping all day."

Aemon scowled, "You...!!" 

"What makes you think we'll let you do that?!" Jaehaerys exclaimed

"Normally, you won't be able to do anything." Drakken said, "But I've thought of something that would make it interesting." 

"Oh yea?" Baelon said, "And what's that?" 

"We'll play a game." Drakken smirked, "Gather your fiercest warriors and pit them against me. Of course, I will not use my powers and will limit myself to my skill with any arms. And obviously, since I am immortal and undying, I will make one specific stipulation; the first one to pierce my heart will be the victor." 

Jaehaerys looked at him with surprise, "W-What?" 

"We'll call it the Drakken Games!!" Drakken said with a chuckle, "Very original. Gather as many warriors as you think is appropriate and I'll fight them one by one and whoever gets to pierce my heart, wins. I'll wear a nice and big target on my chest, worry not. I won't wear armor either." 

"A game?" Aemon said, "You think this is all a game to you?!" 

"Yes, as a matter of fact, I do." Drakken said, "The entire world is my playground. Sometimes it can piss me off and I tend to thrash it around but most of the time, that's what I do....I play. And you are all my playthings to torment. But I am a fair god. Not only would I not take any of your dragons should you win. I will give you another two years of peace. How does that sound? And I'll come back peacefully in two years and we do it all over again. A nice little tradition now that I am here to stay." 

"I'll do you one better." Jaehaerys said, "If we win, you leave Westeros completely for those two years." 

"Oh?" Drakken said, "And where would I go?" 

"Sothoryos for all I care." Jaehaerys said, "I don't want you here." 

"The fuck is a Sothoryos?" Drakken said with a confused face, "You know what, I don't care. Sure. But what would you do to spice up the deal should I win?" 

"A daughter." Jaehaerys said, "And just a dragon egg. I humbly ask you not to take our grown dragons." 

"Father!!!" Aemon exclaimed, "What are you saying?!" 

"Should Drakken win, not only would he win a dragon egg for whatever he needs it for...." Jaehaerys said seriously, "But he would be allowed to marry one of my daughters when she comes of age. Maegelle is the oldest of my daughters, and she is not betrothed, but she is to be a Septa." 

"I don't agree with this, Father..." Baelon said with sweat rolling down his forehead, "You mean to give one of our sisters away to this monster?" 

"Even if he does win, it could be a means to maintain a peaceful relationship with him. As peaceful as it could get...." Jaehaerys said, "It is clear that we cannot do anything to him." 

"Sol'Tyr's Reconnaissance." Drakken said, "That is what the mark on your wife is called. A little spell I planted on her before I left for Dragonstone that didn't activate until the Blackwood and Bracken battle. Every time I am not in her presence and my name is mentioned near her, she becomes confused and loses memory of me while I get to listen and see whatever she listens and sees. And let me tell you....I've seen some stuff.....hehe...." 

Jaehaerys scowled, "L-Like what?" 

"Unimportant." Drakken said, "Point is that I know the names of every one of your children through that mark. And I know that the only daughters besides this Maegelle, who is clearly going to become a priestess, are nothing but little girls.....you're going to offer me children in hopes that I fuck them in the future? I don't know who would be worse, you or me." 

"It is the only thing that-" Jaehaerys started

"Fine." Drakken said, "But should I win, I will not interact with the girl until I deem it necessary. So do yourself a favor, Jaehaerys, and make sure she behaves. This is good, though. A Targaryen Princess that I can use.....hm.....maybe I can use her blood for another Drake.....yes.....that would be nice....hehehehe....." 

"What?" Baelon said

Drakken snapped his fingers, "Two weeks!" He said suddenly, "Bring forth your mightiest warriors in two weeks. I will explain the rules when I return." 

"It is exciting."
