Dragon pillars

Hi everyone. I'm sorry I couldn't publish anything in the last two weeks. I was hospitalised due to an accident. My left leg is in bad shape for the time being. But now that I have returned home, I should be picking up on the updates. The next update will be Ch144 of Dragonlord.

Baelon Targaryen sat at the head of the small council table, his silver hair catching the dim light of the chamber. The Targaryen sigil above him cast a long shadow, a silent reminder of the weight of his lineage. Around him, the lords of the small council murmured their reports, the daily monotony of governance settling into a predictable rhythm.
But today, the air in the room felt charged—a storm brewing on the horizon.
Baelon leaned back with a s...
2025-01-22 16:14:58 +0000 UTC View PostPotter Manor was eerily silent despite the revelry going around the rest of Magica Britain. Only the ruffling of parchments was heard in the otherwise silent chamber Harry was occupying.
Harry stared closely at the Resurrection Stone as it was delicately placed into the ring band and pressed the holding arms against the stone. Once done, he poked the stone with his finger and ensured it was held tight. He used a sticking charm to keep the stone bound to the ring band for good mea...
2025-01-17 16:16:28 +0000 UTC View PostVarys gazed upon the sprawled city of King‘s Landing from the window outside the small council chambers. His calculating eyes fell on the bustling city with the satisfaction of knowing the plans so far had gone almost seamlessly. However, his plans were not without its problems.
He never imagined Robert would die in a war with the Lannisters, which would also spell the doom of Tywin Lannister. But those two events reshaped everything, forcing him to change his plans accordingly. He wa...
2025-01-15 16:20:21 +0000 UTC View Post"Harry Potter," Voldemort hissed, his voice slicing through the chaos of the battlefield like a blade. "The Boy Who Lived. How poetic that you should die here, where it all began."
“Oh, shut the fuck up, you whiny bitch!” Harry growled from behind the shield he put up as tendrils of dark energy tried to rip him to shreds.
As expected, Voldemort became enraged and screamed, followed by the Dark Lord’s magical attack intensifying. Harry grunted as his shield strained against t...
2025-01-10 18:44:35 +0000 UTC View PostThe Wildlings are a rowdy bunch. They're a ragtag group of different tribes with archaic practices that keep them uncivilised and cruel. There are even cannibalistic tribes amongst them, making them one of the most dangerous barbarian groups in Westeros.
But they also have some magic users amongst them. They're also First Men. So, the potential for more magic users in the future is high amongst this group.
2025-01-10 18:42:44 +0000 UTC View PostWilliam Royce considered himself a warrior of courage and skill trained by the very best in combat within the training grounds of Runestone. But no amount of training prepared him to battle nightmares of moving dead bodies and demons made of ice. He didn’t know what was real and unreal nowadays. He felt like he was going mad.
‘It’s all a dream – a terrible dream.’ He consoled himself in the beginning.
But now, he was not sure of that either. When he opened his eyes, he h...
2025-01-08 17:50:42 +0000 UTC View Post“What is so important that you had to drag us to this chamber? We could be helping set up the defences, you know.” Gilgamesh said, a frustrated look on his face.
“Be a little patient.” Cerion muttered as he looked for a black box in the cabinet.
“You’re talking to an Eternal. All we know is patience.” Thena grumbled with a roll of her eyes.
“Aha!” Cerion exclaimed when he found the box.
He opened the box, took the small black cubes from inside, ...
2025-01-03 14:27:09 +0000 UTC View PostYohn Royce stood by the side in the long and austere High Hall of the Eyrie while Lady Lysa Arryn held court. He stared at the proceedings in displeasure while keeping himself far away from the happenings of the court. He intentionally put the distance from the woman sitting on the throne of Eyrie, taking care to be away from the gaze of Lady Lysa. The High Hall, with its soaring columns and the infamous Moon Door at its centre, was a place meant to inspire awe and reverence. The hall had sto...
2024-12-29 15:02:07 +0000 UTC View PostSeverus stared at the devastation before his eyes and did his utmost to keep himself composed outwardly. In his mind, he couldn’t help but feel glee at the sight of the utter carnage that was the Nott Manor. The Nott family had their time under the sun, and he could say with some confidence that the world would be better off without the Notts.
However, he wondered what had happened to Theodore Nott. The boy was diligent in his studies but silent and withdrawn otherwise. But then again...
2024-12-20 15:03:20 +0000 UTC View PostWillas thought this was folly and a waste of his time. His father was also against his grandmother’s wishes to send him and Margaery to Dorne. It was not often that he found himself in total agreement with his father, but this was one of those rare occasions.
Unfortunately for both of them, his grandmother was persuasive and had the presence of mind to see her wishes come true. For decades, his grandmother had been the true power in Highgarden, and that never changed, even when his f...
Harry stood outside the grounds of the Shihoin clan by his captain’s side. They stood behind the cover of trees far away from the clan ground with suppressed spiritual pressure. The guards posted along the clan compound were the Omnitsukido, the shadow blades of Squad 2 Captain Soifon. The last thing they wanted was for Captain Soifon to get wind of their plans so close to the execution. After all, internal security was Captain Soifon’s forte.
“Are you sure a hell butterfly will b...
2024-12-13 14:51:07 +0000 UTC View PostAegon stared at the envoys before him from the safe distance of his temporary camp close to the coastline of Andalos.
A small host had come, but their armour gleamed under the sun, and the discipline of their ranks spoke of steel-tested resolve. They were knights of the Vale, the stalwart protectors of the eastern mountains, summoned across leagues of land and sea to a foreign shore.
Aegon knew this from observing the many banners carried by the mounted knights. But he saw more ...
Cerion observed Earth from a safe distance abroad the command bridge of the Dauntless. The planet looked beautiful, like a bright blue sapphire orb in a room full of darkness.
It was not his idea to be far from C24 at this time, but he had to because he had an important meeting. C24 lacked the warm temperatures and the quantity of greenhouse gases to sustain a growing population of humans and Kyrlorians. If Krypton had faced the trouble of overexploiting natural resources, C24’s probl...
2024-12-06 18:30:54 +0000 UTC View Post“I didn’t think exile would turn you into a warlord, but I admit to being thoroughly surprised.” Daemon said with a smirk.
“Careful there, Daemon. Jealousy does not suit you.” Aegon replied, throwing an amused smile at his brother while pouring wine into two cups and offering it to his brothers sitting across from him with a small round table between them.
“Hmm… this is fine wine.” Viserys hummed with satisfaction as the red wine trickled down his throat.

2024-12-03 15:45:02 +0000 UTC View PostThe wind howled like a wolf across the frozen expanse. It tore at cloaks, bit through layers of fur and leather, and froze breath into plumes of mist.
Waymar Royce looked upon the snow-filled wasteland and considered the lands before him the most hellish place in the world. He suspected the gods didn’t create this place. Instead, he believed some foul demon from the depth of the seven hells made this place to torture man.
He wouldn’t have been in this place if he hadn’t been...
2024-11-27 16:32:05 +0000 UTC View PostHarry pulled his cloak tighter against the chill as he followed Remus through the twisting alleys of an abandoned muggle estate. The night was cloaked in mist, the pale glow of the half-moon struggling to pierce through the heavy clouds above. The air smelled of damp concrete and rusting metal, a sharp contrast to the countryside where Harry had spent most of the summer. A couple of flickering lights lined the muddy road here and there.
“This doesn’t feel right,” Remus muttered, g...
2024-11-23 04:17:55 +0000 UTC View PostThe first light of dawn stretched pale fingers across the horizon, shining over the churning sea as Jon Stark stood on the deck of Nimbus. Below, the Longtown Harbour sprawled—a decrepit collection of rickety docks and weather-beaten huts, a hub of pirate activity on the island. The cold winds of the Bite tangled in his hair, whipping his cloak around him like a banner. Beside him, Ghost paced restlessly, the direwolf’s growl low and menacing, matching the roar of the waves below.
H...
2024-11-20 18:29:09 +0000 UTC View PostHarry swiped his hand in a wide arc, casting a black energy whip which cut straight through the flesh and bones of the werewolves surrounding him. Sirius and Fleur picked themselves up from the floor after his spell took effect. It was a modified rotting curse which ate through anything organic it came in contact with. Even the highly regenerative properties of werewolves under moonlight stood no chance against the dark curse.
“That ‘eez a sick spell.” Fleur said with a grimace, w...
2024-11-15 19:40:34 +0000 UTC View PostThe waves hammered against the hulls of the Northern ships as they sliced through the churning waters, moving ever closer to the mist-shrouded Longsister. The salty spray whipped against Jon Stark‘s face, and he tasted the brine on his lips as he stood at the prow of Nimbus, his eyes narrow and resolute. Above him, the banner of Avalon flapped in the storm-lashed wind—a direwolf on a field of gold.
The opportunity he had given for the Sistermen to sue for peace had passed. He gave ...
2024-11-13 21:50:02 +0000 UTC View PostBefore you decide to go with the popular trope that Aegon in the books is a Blackfyre, the whole theory hinges on Quaithe's warning to Daenerys not to trust the mummer's dragon.
Most fans have interpreted this as Aegon Targaryen being a fake and a Blackfyre connecting the kid to Serra, the deceased wife of Illyrio Mopatis.
But this theory has several holes in it. Prophecy itself is a fickle thing, and words can have very different meanings.
In this instance, Quaithe told Dae...
2024-11-12 05:54:40 +0000 UTC View PostThe night sky loomed over Hogsmeade village, shrouded in a blanket of thick, swirling clouds that veiled the moon. Dark figures emerged from the long shadows cast by the towering trees at the edge of the village. The full moon in the sky revealed their savagery even though no one was around to witness it.
Fenrir Greyback stared at the slumbering village with a savage grin. He could feel his blood pumping in his veins at the opportunity that was presented before him. He was being used a...
