Divide and Conquer, Chapter 14: The Children of the Dragon

Sixth Moon, 107 AD (6 AC)

Aerion Targaryen

“Aerion, come up here and demonstrate for your siblings,” his mother commanded, gesturing ever so slightly to the slab of obsidian resting on the stone mound.

“Yes Mother,” Aerion answered obediently, walking up to the obsidian before his mother raised her hand.

“Before Aerion starts, would anyone like to give their thoughts on what he’s doing? You can put your hand down Valaena, I...

Divide and Conquer, Chapter 13: The Balance of Power

Fifth Moon, 103 AD (2 AC)

The Gardener

Mern could not help but smile at the sight before him. With a few words and a kiss, his eldest grandson and namesake had secured the keys to Storm’s End for the Reach forevermore. He almost envied him. Argella Durrandon was quite the beauty, and the kingdom she was heir to even more so. Mern ruled the Reach as the Ninth of His Name, but when his grandson ascended his throne, he would rule both the Reach and...

Updates for December and January.

So sorry to announce this but I'm afraid that there won't be a second chapter for the month of November. I wonder if I was a bit too overambitious setting the target update rate at two a month instead of one a month because the assignments have really started pouring in. I have assignments due on the 2nd, 12th, 13th, and 18th of December as well as first semester exams from the 6th to the 17th of January. That being said I do also have a 3 weeks study break from 16th December up till to 5th J...

Divide and Conquer, Chapter 12: Gifts

Sixth Moon, 102 AD (1 AC)

The Red Lion

Robert did not think he would ever forget how Casterly Rock had fallen. In seven days, Aegon Targaryen had brought the mighty and impregnable fortress to its knees with a legendary feat of dominance and deceit the likes of which the world had not seen since the Age of Heroes. Some of his loyalists were already likening his achievement to that of Lann the Clever and his trickery, justifying his rule over the W...

Divide and Conquer University Update Schedule

So after about a month in university I think I've settled in well enough to finally pin down an update schedule of sorts. I think that I will be able to promise and maintain a minimum of at least two Divide and Conquer chapters every month, with it naturally increasing during my semester breaks and potentially decreasing during exams (will keep posted for this). The key thing is that due to changes in my schedule in uni due to assignments or extracurricular activities etc, I can't say with c...

Divide and Conquer, Chapter 11: Iron and Gold

Fourth Moon, 102 AD (1 AC)

Rhaenys

Together as one, with their bond open to the fullest and their minds linked, Meraxes and her dived towards Castle Drumm, weaving in and out between volleys of arrows and scorpion bolts that bounced off of Meraxes’ scales harmlessly. The Westerlanders holding the castle were desperate, knowing that there was no escape for them.

Without even a word, her dragon’s silver-gold flames emerged from her maw, sp...

Updates when I'm in University

Edit: October 12th, Chapter 10 posted! As for the formal update schedule, still working on that, will keep you all posted!

Original Post dated September 11th: So as you guys know, I have just posted Chapter 8 for Patreon and Chapter 2 for the public threads (at long last), meaning that I have accomplished my goal of filling the backlog and posting Ch2 publicly before uni. So now what?

I'll be leaving to go to university on Monday the 16th of September. The university in question ...

Divide and Conquer, Chapter 10: The Troubles of a Queen

First Moon, 102 AD (1 AC)

Aegon

When the raven had arrived at Ashemark from Harlaw Hall, Rhaenys and he had feared the worst. It had already taken the raven almost three days to cross the distance and Visenya had not answered any of their calls on the glass candles. What had taken the raven three days to cross their dragons had traveled in half a day.

Aegon felt his fear lessen a little as they finally arrived at Harlaw Hall and saw Vhagar s...

Divide and Conquer, Chapter 9: The Fog of War

First Moon, 102 AD (1 AC)

The Ranger Commandant

Crowley and his fellow Rangers watched from a distance as the King and Queen blasted through the Golden Tooth with their dragons. The sight of Balerion and Meraxes in all their awesome power never failed to amaze him.

Their preparations for this war had not gone unnoticed and the Golden Tooth had been fortified and reinforced with almost ten thousand men, many of them veterans from the campaign...

Divide and Conquer, Chapter 8: Elder

The councilors all rose to stand at attention and greet them when they entered. “At ease,” Aegon said and all of them relaxed, though...

Eleventh Moon, 101 AD (1 BC)

Visenya

The councilors all rose to stand at attention and greet them when they entered. “At ease,” Aegon said and all of them relaxed, though by decorum none took their seats until Visenya and her siblings did. Her son Aerion and her niece Valaena meanwhile went to the n...

Divide and Conquer, Chapter 7: The Heartlands

Third Moon, 101 AD (1 BC)

Update dates for Ch7 and Ch8

So I'm busy with packing and some other stuff and on the advice of one Amerdism, I have decided to formally announce a new range for the update schedules of Ch7 and Ch8. So expect both of them latest by Friday the 6th of September for Ch7 and Friday the 13th of September for Ch8. They may be much earlier than that or on the day itself but either way it will give me more time to get them done while I get all my packing completed as well. Thanks for reading and supporting me, stay tuned!

Divide and Conquer, Chapter 6: Diplomatic Promises

Ninth Moon, 97 AD (5 BC)

The Lion Prince

They saw it long before they reached it. Five black towers stretching high into the sky in the distant horizon beside the waters of a lake so large it looked like the sea. It was another two days’ ride after that before they finally arrived though.

Had he been any other man, his jaw might have dropped in shock at the sheer size of Harrenhal’s walls and towers. They rose as sheer as cliffs and as h...

Ch6 Delay to Wednesday-Friday

Hello guys! Really so sorry to do this again but I was busy over the weekend. I have completed the first POV of Ch6 though and the second one should be completed over the coming days for it to be released. Stay tuned and hope you all are understanding!

Divide and Conquer, Chapter 5: Coronations and Celebrations

All hail His Grace, Aegon of House Targaryen, the First of His Name, King of the Rivers and Hills, Lord of Summerhall and Dragonstone...

Sixth Moon, 97 AD (5 BC)

Visenya

The Hall of a Hundred Hearths truly lived up to its name. There were fifty hearths on each side of the hall, spaced ten feet apart, all of them lit and blazing with fire in a desperate attempt to warm the massive space. Smooth slate floors on the ground led up to great marbl...

Ch5 Slight Delay

Hello guys! So very sorry to do this but I have to delay Ch5 of D&C by a few days, either Wednesday or Thursday. A lot of content to write for the chapter and work to make sure it's good! 6k words already done and that's only the first POV so it's gonna be a long one. Stay tuned and hope you all are understanding!

Divide and Conquer, Chapter 4: The Siege of Harrenhal

Harrenhal’s colossal curtain walls rose as sheer and high as mountain cliffs from the flat fields, made out of black stone but so immense...

Third Moon, 97 AD (5 BC)

Aegon

Harrenhal’s colossal curtain walls rose as sheer and high as mountain cliffs from the flat fields, made out of black stone but so immense that in parts they were discolored and fissured. Atop the battlements, the wood-and-iron scorpions looked as small and numerous as ...

Divide and Conquer, Chapter 3: The Tyrant and the Trout

Second Moon, 97 AD (5 BC)

The Black Tyrant

“Faster!” one of his ironmen captains shouted as he whipped a mewling thrall who was struggling to carry the boulder up the steps leading up the colossal curtain wall. Around him thousands of men were hard at work carrying more boulders as well as bundles of arrows and barrels of tar up to the battlements. Many were also being whipped for their pathetic snail’s pace just as the first thrall had been...

Divide and Conquer, Chapter 2: The Dragon's Queens

First Moon, 97 AD (5 BC)

Rhaenys Targaryen

“Lykirī Meraxes,” Rhaenys whispered in High Valyrian to her beloved silver dragon. She was getting far too excited for battle as they approached Duskendale at long last. Using their glass candles, Aegon and her had watched as their uncle’s fleet and the rest of their part of the army with him had almost arrived before they had mounted their dragons. Years of dragonriding experience had tau...

That would be his legacy. His final revenge on

Temporary price for Dragonguard tier

As some of you probably noticed, the tier price for my second highest tier is rather lower than I said it would be, being $5 instead of $7. This was an unfortunate accident when I was editing the prices and Patreon won’t let me change it for a month so this tier will be discounted for a while. Sorry for any inconvenience. Think of it as a bonus. It will go back to the proper price when I can change it again.

I’m also considering adjusting the prices all around slightly for more eve...

Divide and Conquer Posting Update.

So by the time you all read this, I will be imminently posting or already posted Chapter 73 of High Tide on the public threads and downgraded access to Chapter 75 and Chapter 74 to the Velaryon Knight and Driftmark Marine tiers.

We are still in a transitionary period between stories though so I hope that those of you in my loyal Tide Guard who have supported me for so long will remain a little patient in their wait for D&C Ch1. As some of you may have noticed I have already downgra...

High Tide, Chapter 75: A New Tide Rises

First Moon, 205 AZ

Final Chapter of High Tide and New Story Update!

Edit: Adjusted the names of tiers slightly after discussing with Jordan Redstark. Top tier is now Dragonlord and second top tier is Dragonguard.

Hello guys! Once again thanks for all of your support! I just wanted to keep you posted on some important things. So first things first, Chapter 75, the final chapter and epilogue of High Tide, will be a little delayed. Yeah I know it's an exciting time but I genuinely don't have time to write it atm.

I was on a trip on Monday and only ...

Pricing and Benefits

So now that High Tide is coming to an end with just one last chapter left to write and post for the highest tier, I've decided to make this post open to the public for all to see. Hello to all my readers! Members or not, paid members or not! I'm glad for your support, even if none of it is monetary. I appreciate every last bit. Anyway I have heard from a few that my tiers for my Patreon are too expensive and the number one reason listed in the exit survey is 'My financial situation changed' w...

High Tide, Chapter 74: The Curtain Calls

Third Moon, 132 AC

High Tide, Chapter 73: The Firestorm

Second Moon, 132 AC

Baela

With a dragon’s eye view, she soared over all the lands. Years of experience and training allowed her to bend the candle and its rebellious light to her will with ease but it still needed focus. At any moment the candle could drag her mind across the whole world and away from what she wished to see.

In the aftermath of that day and with glass candle scrying to ensure the remaining Targaryens would no...

High Tide, Chapter 72: The Dance of the Dragons

First Moon, 132 AC

Baela

Her heart pounded in her chest as they flew through the darkness. The only thing lighting their way was the full moon in the sky above and the glow of the glass candles in their saddles as they scryed their enemies and communicated with their allies. Herself, Jace, Rhaena, and Laena carried those glass candles and they flew at the front of the formation to guide Corlys and Serra who flew behind them. 

It weighed...
