Dragonlord Chapter 53: Rise of the Old Gods P2

Eddard enjoyed the peace and quiet offered by the Godswood. The gentle wind that caressed his skin and hair felt like the whispers from the Old Gods. The scattered hot springs inside the Godswood on the other hand provided him with the warmth and comfort of his dearly departed mother. The rustling leaves of the Weirwood trees on the other hand were akin to the laughter of his siblings from beyond the yoke of death. The faces carved on the trees on the other hand offered him the comfort that h...

The Lion Cub Chapter 56: Blood of Peverells

“Don’t you have anything else to do other than play bodyguard with me?” Harry asked tiredly feeling the shadow of a familiar woman falling on him once again.

“What? You don’t like me hanging around you anymore?” Nymphadora or Nym as he calls her for his own safety, asked him while he was combing through the shelves of Flourish and Blotts for some interesting books on Charms. 

“Oh, I do. You’re quite the fun character to be around Nym. But you seem to have n...

Enjoy the holidays my cute patrons. Hope you all have a wonderful time with your family. Enjoy🎉🎉🎉

Dragonlord Chapter 52: Rise of the Old Gods P1

Jon Arryn found no pleasure in doing this but he was left with no other choice. The Spider was many things but the Essosi eunuch was not incompetent in his job. The winds of change in Dragonstone cannot be ignored especially when he had sent many ravens to Stannis asking for the man’s immediate return to the capital. In return, he was treated with silent treatment by the Master of Ships. He had to intervene before Stannis made a fool of himself and alienate the Narrow Sea lords. It had take...

The Lion Cub Chapter 55: Regrets and a badge

Harry kept an eye out on the closed door where Remus and Sirius were discussing what Remus claimed was ‘too dangerous for young ears’ as if that meant something to him. He was more than aware that Remus was here at Dumbledore’s bidding. At least, he could understand why Remus Lupin blindly followed Dumbledore more than other grown adults of the fabled Order of Phoenix. The werewolf population of the wizarding world have always faced far greater discrimination than even muggleborns. He c...

Daeron the Worthy Ch44: A royal wedding P1

Daeron had to admit Ser Lyn Corbray remains a capable knight despite the man’s less than savoury reputation in certain circles, mostly among the knights and lords of the Vale. But he didn’t take Ser Lyn into the Kingsguard for a publicity stunt. So, he cared less about what people thought of the Vale knight so long as the knight’s skill with a sword remain sharp. It helps that Ser Lyn also carries the Valyrian steel blade Lady Forlorn which was a huge boon in his eyes. Not that he found...

Dragonlord Chapter 51: The miracle of Dragonstone

“This is so wrong.” Maester Cressen muttered, walking back and forth across the entire length of the Painted Table.

Davos eyed the old maester who has served loyally beside Lord Stannis since his lord was a child.

‘There is no man in the world who wishes the best for Stannis than Maester Cressen.’ Davos thought.

“Do you know why I left my post at Storm’s End and came with Stannis against the express wishes of the Citadel?” Maester Cressen suddenly asked catc...

Should the dragons Harry hatch be revealed early or kept a secret?

As you guys/gals can guess, it's time for Harry to hatch those two dragon eggs. 

FYI, there are two dragon eggs in Harry's possession. One is an ice dragon egg while the other is a fire dragon egg. The general plan is for Harry to connect with the ice dragon while Jon connects with the fire dragon. 

And don't worry. I do have a plan ready to keep Jon's identity as the son of Rhaegar a secret even if it's publicly known that a fire dragon bonded with Jon.

Dragonlord Chapter 50: Religion is not so bad

Dragonstone has a long history predating even the arrival of Aenar Targaryen. The arrival of House Targaryen was the one incident that stood out in the larger history of the Narrow Sea Island and much of Westeros for that matter. But that doesn’t mean the island of Dragonstone was an island disengaged from the long history of Westeros. Maybe the Andals didn’t think much of the island but the First Men certainly have had a history in this place as did the Valyrian Freehold before Aenar Tar...

The Lion Cub Chapter 54: Blood matters

Harry stared incredulously at the woman claiming to be his grandmother.

“You are my grandmother?” he asked slowly.

“Yes. That’s what I said.” the red-haired woman looked at him with a quirk on her lips.

“Who’re you?”

The woman let out a snort as she flipped her red hair behind her shoulders snottily.

“Please don't behave like a mentally challenged idiot in my presence Harry. It’s very difficult for me to see someone carrying my blood act like ...

Should Storm's End go to Gendry? (In Daeron the Worthy story)

As the last known surviving son of Robert Baratheon, Gendry has blood right on the seat of Storm's End. Do you want Gendry to inherit with the backing of Daeron or do you want Storm's End to go to a supporter of Daeron?

Daeron the Worthy Chapter 43: The burning of Mistwood

Aegon looked skyward and cursed the gods for the situation he was facing. When he started this campaign, he was confident that he’d be marching into King’s Landing victorious with his aunt by his side. His early victory at Storm’s End and the routing of Lord Tarly’s forces only spurred him to think that this war would be won before the end of the year.

‘How foolish I was to think that?’ he thought, looking grimly at the pyre burning away the men of the Golden Company.

New airship constructed at Avalon

Dragonlord Chapter 49: A wolf, snake and stag P2

"Absolutely not! I don’t care if even the gods Old and New are standing by your side. You’ll not be going to Dragonstone and throwing away your life trying to cure Greyscale of all things.”

Harry cringed as he took the full wroth of his lady mother after he pitched his plan of going to Dragonstone and curing Lord Stannis’ daughter.

“But I...”

“No means no Harrion. And that’s the end of it.” Catelyn growled at him before kicking him out of her chambers...

Avalon castle

Dragonlord Chapter 48: A wolf, snake, and stag P1

Harry ducked and backpedaled as quickly as a cat avoiding the jabs and swings of Nymeria’s attempts to tap him with her spear. Calling the piece of wood in Nymeria’s hand a spear would be an insult to all proper spears out in the world. The butt ends of this particular ‘spear’ were blunted to soften the blow. For training purposes, this was more than enough in Harry’s opinion considering the safety features were more for his benefit.

While he was satisfied with keeping weapon...

Potters' home at Godric's Hollow

The Lion Cub Chapter 53: Parties and Werewolves P2

Harry found it strange and perhaps a bit disrespectful to stand before the graves of Lily and James Potter. Here he was standing before two parents stealing their son’s body whom they gave their lives to protect. But no amount of sacrifice and love has protected their son from the harsh world that he was born into. He hoped the real Harry was somewhere safe or maybe the kid was dead. He didn’t know but he cared enough to ask for forgiveness from the kid’s parents.

“Though it’...

Dragonlord Chapter 47: Unveiling a flying carpet

“Do you know what it cost us to save face among our allies and save ourselves from the hole you nicely dug up for our family?” Kevan asked, looking at his monumentally ignorant niece once they were inside the safety of her chambers.

“Do not presume to take that tone with me uncle. I’m the Queen!” Cersei hissed back, her green eyes alight with defiance.

“Yes, you are the queen. Then act like one instead of behaving like a court jester. What exactly were you thinking w...

The Lion Cub Chapter 52: Parties and Werewolves P1

One thing Harry realized after spending so much time with Fleur is that the French witch has a habit of planning things out in advance. Harry liked to think he was also like that but Fleur took planning to a whole new level. That’s why he was not surprised by how prepared Fleur was in moving to Britain for her new job. However, he was quite surprised to learn Fleur has been preparing for this shift for a long time. She has been preparing to move to Britain long before she even came to Hogwa...

Castle for Jon Stark?

Since Jon Snow was legitimized by Robert and practically restored Rhaegar's bloodline unknowingly, he needs a seat of power. Some of the options below are obviously occupied by other Houses or in need of repair as the story is currently at 292 AC. 

Also, choose the Red Keep if you want Jon as king on the Iron Throne.

Dragonlord Chapter 46: Maesters and Snakes P2

“I find myself quite surprised to see you this far north Prince Oberyn. I believe this is the first time a Prince of Dorne has ever visited Winterfell.” said Eddard, looking down from his seat at the high table at the small Dornish party assembled inside his hall.

“It seems a lot of interesting happenings are now inside the North. So, I said to my dear daughter here, that we should visit the North and see for ourselves.” said Oberyn, nudging his daughter forward who executed a ...

The Lion Cub Chapter 51: Summer vacation P2

“I've got to say that old coot is one darn persistent stick in the mud. He does not know the meaning of giving up.” said Harry, a glass of Firewhisky in his hand and a smoke in the other.

He took a small sip of the wizarding Britain's favourite beverage before taking a puff of smoke. The sun smothered them with warmth as Harry and Sirius relaxed on the long stretched-out sandy beaches of Cannes.

“That man does not also know the meaning of privacy.” Sirius muttered as he ...

Dragonlord Chapter 45: Maesters and Snakes P1

“How can you know they are spies?” Eddard asked incredulously.

Harry was not surprised to see his father's disbelief. Even he was quite stunned to learn two cleaning ladies were spies. The real shocker was three tongueless children in an orphanage running thanks to his mother's patronage. The orphanage was even a recent setup spurred on by her guilt over executing Septa Mordane.

“I have erected wards covering the whole of Winterfell. Anyone entering the castle with less th...

What should be done with the Thenn clan?

The Thenns are led by Sigorn and they have sworn to follow Daeron. As a military force, they've proved to be a valuable asset for Daeron so far. So, where should they settle?

Giving them Last Hearth would position them close to the other tribes of the Free Folk. On one hand, they all know each other which also means they could amass too much power in the Gift. Or worse, they could engage in more factionalism and war with other tribes.

In the Crownlands, they are directly under the...

Daeron the Worthy Chapter 42: Dragon to dragon

There was snow everywhere as far as her eyes could see. It was a wide expanse of white that oozed the might of winter. And yet she could not feel the biting cold associated with the snow. Daenerys walked aimlessly through the snow with no idea what she was doing or what was happening. She just walked for what felt like hours to no end. Only the howling winds gave her companionship as she trekked the wide expanse of snow. She walked and walked until she finally reached a small cliff.

Lo...

The Lion Cub Chapter 50: Summer vacation P1

“Mistress is not going to like what half-blood master is doing.” Kreacher muttered.

“Stop calling him that you stupid wanker.” Sirius shouted while carrying a large portrait of one of his ancestors.

“I have a name you know. You can use my name.” Harry offered while helping arrange the portraits into one of the rooms in the basement beneath the Black manor.

“Kreacher would never move the portraits of the great Blacks from their proper place.” Kreacher mutte...

Dragonlord Chapter 44: Grey rats

The fresh morning air in Avalon was quite enjoyable all things considered. The castle had only sprung up a few minutes ago so everyone including Harry was still exploring the castle. If people were looking at him as the second coming of Brandon the Builder before, now they were looking at him as if he was a god in human flesh. That’s sort of what happened at the fishing village near Eastwatch but the circumstances that led to the opening of that particular can of worms were quite different....

Dragonlord Chapter 43: Avalon

Tywin sat at the high table observing the celebrations going on inside the golden halls of his ancestors. His family was celebrating the arrival of a Valyrian steel sword in the family. As this was indeed a celebration confined strictly within the family, their greatest treasure was in full display at the very centre of the feast hall. A golden statue of Lann the Clever stood at the centre of the hall with rubies for eyes. The exact origin of the statue was unknown as records of the statue’...
