"We do not choose who we love, Baelon." Helaena told me as she gently rubbed my back, "It is a cruel truth."
I sighed, "Is that so?"
She leaned against my shoulder, "I understand your concern..." She said softly, "I understand your feelings. I am so sorry that it has come to this. I know that you see me and only me. I know that you were so angry that everything had to happen the way it did....."
I closed my eye...

"Unicorns." Helaena said
I raised an eyebrow, "Pardon me?" I said as I looked at her, "What about them?"
"I wish I would have seen one at least." She said as she looked at her book, "But it is more likely they all died."
I blinked, "Hm…."
"Because of what you did…." She said awkwardly
"No, I get what you meant." I said, "I do not understand why you would have wanted to see one."

Balerion let out a rumble as I was hunched over his teeth, the stench of his breath nearly knocking me out. I was scrubbing his teeth, making sure they were clean and not wounded.
The rumble was that of an annoyed old man, one that was too proud to admit that he needed to be taken care of.
"Don't you dare do some foolish." I warned in High-Valyrian "You keep feasting and feasting on cattle so eventually, one of the bones will prick your mouth. Wh...

"I am busy, Baelon." Mother said as she entered through the door, "I do not have time for whatever you need to speak to me about."
There was a tense air about her. I suppose she was still angry at me, for whatever reason. But at this moment, that did not matter.
I sighed, "I know, Mother." I said, "You have been acting rather coldly towards me."
She looked at me, "No, I have not." She said as she crossed her ar...

Balerion let out another roar as he flew towards the fleet of ships as Baelon looked ahead of him. The Black Dread's shadow was cast over the sea, plunging a massive portion of it in nothing but darkness as he made his way forwards.

It was not long after the Trial by Seven had ended; the Realm had received word of the events that took place in King's Landing and of Trevor's fate.
The Lords of the Realm were shaken up by the sudden betrayal of a member of the Kingsguard and the return of the accused traitor; Harwin Strong. Not only that, they were bewildered at the fact that three ...

Around two years ago, Dorne had challenged The Crown by attacking the Stormlands and The reach. Due to this, King Jaehaerys had sent Baelon and Aemon to war as a display of strength.
For some reason, House Martell surrendered and offered some nobles as hostages. This was a rather strange tactic that confused Jaehaerys and his council, leading them to believe that it was Drakken who was behind the ordeal.

With the story introducing Drakken's Draconic Beasts, we have two so far:
-The Guardian
-Lyssa
It is quite clear that Drakken is more than capable of creating powerful beings with his experiments that drastically shift the balance of power in the world. Drakken's mere existence tips the balance itself.
So with that in mind, do you want to see more?
