"Have you ever been struck by lightning?" I asked the worms in front of me, "Anyone?"
I sat on a broken piece of pillar the following day after seizing Sunspear. The sky above me was dark and crackling with lightning. I could hear the loud rumbling of both thunder and Ammaria. The devastation my divine creature had set upon Dorne was more than satisfying. I could not begin to explain how much joy it brought me.
In front of me, ...

After days of pure tempest, Sunspear was finally hit with a massive storm. The Storm Goddess, Ammaria, was heard roaring throughout the sky as twisters ravaged the sandy land. The downpour was so powerful that it flooded the majority of the area, the winds were so rough that they chipped away the stone of the castle.
The Martells could not believe that such a storm was capable of forming, it was a scene from the end of days to the...

Vhagar landed hard on the hill where Drakken was, her imposing figure left the young lord Riktor speechless, merely looking up at the dragon with awe.
Drakken noticed this and scoffed, "Tch..." He said before looking at Baelon, "Baelon! My fight is not with you. Do yourself a favor and fuck off."
Baelon looked at Drakken, "Just what do you think you are doing, Drakken!!" He shouted, "You promised peace! This is not pea...

Prince Oren Martell walked into a room, "What is going on?" He said, "Why am I getting reports about a massive storm tearing through the land?!"
One of his advisors looked at him, "Prince Oren." He said, "It is unheard of! A massive storm like no other has suddenly hit Dorne. For days, it has been laying devastation through the entire land! It has only left several hours of calm be...

"Let them get comfortable." I said with a smirk, "Let all of them think they have a bit of hope. The more hope they have, the more despair they will get when I destroy them."
"Eh?" Riktor said
I looked at him, he was standing next to me as he looked up at me with a confused look. We stood under some trees, near Mya's gardens. I had found him wandering about, swinging his wooden sword around. It appears my son gets in his ...

Corlys sat on the steps in front of a building that was destroyed. He clutched his head as he groaned in pain, all while his men were rounding up men on the village they had attacked.
"Aghh..." He let out, "It hurts....it hurts so much...."
The pain in his head got more prominent as a mark appeared on his forehead. To Corlys, it felt like a thousand blades were pierc...

A village was in flames, screams and cries were heard all throughout the air as many men were running down the villagers. The innocents were being cut down by men who were clad in armor, wielding swords and spears.
The women who were unable to escape were captured and thrown into cages as the men who tried fighting back were torn into pieces, the men that had raided the village ...

I looked at Aemon, "Well, you are in luck." I said to him, "Since my son likes the sword, I suppose I could accept it."
He nodded slowly, "Right..." He said, "Thank you...."
I sheathed the blade and placed it down, "However, Riktor. You are too small to wield such weapons." I told my son, "But soon, when you grow up, you will be able to use it. I will train you in the art of the blade. And when you lead my armies, you wil...

Do you want me to sprinkle in a chapter of "What Could Have Been" throughout the week? Or do you want a dedicated Rotation for it?
We can do a day per week where it is just "What Could Have Been."
By what I mean is that every week, no matter the rotation, there will be at least one day where I upload a chapter for that story.
Or we could add it to the rotation and have a full week where it is dedicated.
I do not know about the full rotation, I think a specific day...

"My Lord...." Mya said, "How long does it need to be like this? There are starting to be complaints...."
I held a telekinetic barrier around us, keeping the downpour from hitting us. Riktor stood by my side as we all stood in the middle of the field outside the Castle. I was focusing on the magic power that was being given off by...

It was a perfect storm.
