House of The Dragon-A God Amongst Men

(Third Person POV)

"My Lord.....O' Great One...." Ezra said as he approached Drakken, "I am sorry to pry.....but what is this I hear about you leaving already?" 

Drakken was leaning against the wall of the courtyard of The Red Keep. Ezra had snuck in to meet with him, as he was summoned from his duties. 

"You heard right." Drakken said seriously, "We're leaving." 

"That is a shame." Ezra said, "Here, I had hoped you would join us and you would spread your grace next to your shrine." 

"Why would I do that?" Drakken asked, "Have Sol'tyr do that." 

"Lately, Lord Sol'Tyr has been.....distant." Ezra said, "He has not responded to any of our prayers." 

"Prick....." Drakken muttered

"May I ask what had transpired to push your departure up so quickly?" Ezra asked

"Jeyne Penrose tried to rape my son." Drakken said seriously, "If it weren't for Mya putting an arrow through her arm, who knows if she had succeeded." 

Ezra looked at him with surprise, "T-They dare...to lay a hand on the Heir????" He exclaimed, "Those filthy lowlifes....." 

"That is exactly my reaction." Drakken said, "I have her and her father ready for torture and punishment. But I wanted to destroy Parchments as a punishment. But what do you know? Maegelle and Riktor told me to spare them." 

"No, no...an example must be made." Ezra said, "Someone needs to pay, The Realm must be reminded that House Drakkengard is not a power to be trifled with." 

"Well, Maegelle made a good point. She allowed me to do what I want with those two but to leave the innocents out of it." Drakken said

Ezra looked at him, "I humbly apologize for saying this, Great One, but with all due respect to the Lady Maegelle..." he said, "But nobody allows you to do anything. You are the Great God of War and Death, whose grace has reached hundreds of thousands.....If you wish to spare innocents, that is because you made that choice....but Parchments.....nay, the entire Realm...the innocent and guilty are as scrambled as the mind of a madman." 

Drakken looked at him, "What are you saying?" 

"Strike me down if you so wish, for overstepping." Ezra said as he bowed slightly, "But give me a few days, delay your departure. I have spies all over the Realm, The Stormlands in particular. I will find out if Parchments is innocent enough. I will know if those wretched filths have been graced by the Trinity or not." 

"Hm....." Drakken said, "And if they aren't?" 

"An example must be made, Lord Drakken." He said seriously, "We cannot allow this to go unpunished." 

"If there are followers in Parchments, remove them." Drakken said seriously, "If they aren't as innocent as they are made out to be, I will destroy Parchments." 

"Of course." Ezra nodded, "Again, a few days would suffice for this. I will get on it as quickly as possible...oh and...again, strike me down should I be overstepping...." 

"What is it?" Drakken asked him

"Is it acceptable if tonight.....Viserra preaches to our followers?" He asked

"Fine." Drakken said as he began to walk away, "And speaking of her, we have something to talk about later." 

"So, look forward to that." 

*****************

"M-My sons....!" Lord Penrose managed, "They will not.....sit by...." 

Drakken smacked him in the face, causing him to call down along with the chair he sat on, "Shut up." He said seriously, "I'll kill them too." 

"F-Father....!" Jeyne said as she was tied up against the wall, her arms raised up high, "N-No...." 

Drakken stood over the Lord, "You like little boys, hm?" He asked, "What a sick pig you are." 

"A-Accusations!" Lord Penrose managed, "Vile accusations!" 

Drakken stomped on his knee, shattering it with ease as the Lord let out a pained bellow. 

"Hm." He said, "Is that so?" 

"Aaggghhh!!!" Lord Penrose wailed, "Y-Youuuu!!!! AAAAAgghhhh!!" 

Drakken stepped back and tilted his head, "Seems that your influence reached your daughter, having her think that it will be okay to prey on your boys." He said seriously, "You see.....I am not a good individual. In fact, I would say that I am probably worse than you both. I like killing, I love violence, I adore chaos.....but...to stoop that low? No, no.....that is not something even someone like me would do." 

Penrose was panting, clutching his leg as he looked up, his face pale, "W-What?!" He said, "Y-You dare lecture me about moralities? You, who have murdered thousands?! You've killed children!!! Don't assume you haven't!!!"

"Oh?" Drakken asked, "Is that so?" 

"Do you think Driftmark and Sharp Point didn't have children?!" He shouted, "You murdered them!!!" 

"Hm, true." Drakken said, "I may have indirectly killed children....but so have you, probably. As a Lord of the Realm, your hands are stained. Nobody in this world is clean, nobody. That is the cruel reality and truth. It is not something I prefer, but....at the very least.....they died quickly....without pain....." 

"A-And that makes it better?" Jeyne exclaimed, "Y-You still murdered-" 

Drakken flicked his wrist, and she was cut off by her chest bursting open as blood sprayed out. She jerked backwards as she yelled out in pain. 

"I just said that I am not a good person." Drakken looked at him, "But I don't rape children. In everyone's eyes, that might be better. Sure, I have killed thousands... no..... oh no....Millions. Do you have any idea how many people it takes to kill to stop counting over centuries of living?" 

"W-What?" Penrose asked, "You....." 

"This....." Drakken started, "This incident has made me think. I believe it is a time for a purging, a purging of the impure....." 

"What?" Jeyne panted as she was bleeding from a cut on her chest, which slowly closed, "What...?" 

"Jaehaerys and I will have a serious talk." Drakken said as he reached down for Penrose and pulled him up, "I will have my Duskguard hunt down any man or woman who preys on children, and I will have them executed and their heads mounted on spikes. As for the whole marriage thing.....we'll figure something out. The Trinity will change the Realm for the better...." 

He flung Penrose to the door of the room they were in, causing him to crash through it, the wood shattering everywhere. 

"Arrrghhh!!!" He shouted in pain

Drakken walked out towards him and kicked him in the ribs, causing him to slide across the hallway as blood smeared all over the floor. 

"F-Father!" Jeyne shouted, tears in her eyes

Drakken stood in front of the door outside as he adjusted his shirt, "So....." He said as he looked to the side, seeing that Mya and Saera were standing there, "You're here....." 

Mya nodded with a serious look on her face, "Yes." 

Drakken offered his hand to her, "Come." 

Mya took his hand and Drakken immediately pulled her in, kissing her on the lips passionately as he ran his hand down her back and towards her rear, fondling it. 

Saera looked at this with a bit of surprise, "Oh?" 

Drakken then pulled away as Mya looked at him with surprise, her eyes full of bliss, "I adore how angry you get..." He said as he licked his lips, "Such an overprotective mother...it is...arousing....." 

"My Lord....." Mya said softly

Drakken smirked as he stepped back and gestured at the room, "She's all yours." 

Mya looked inside the room, seeing that Jeyne Penrose was on the wall, looking at this with a terrified look on her face.

"Thank you." Mya said before walking inside

Saera looked at Drakken, eyeing him up and down, "And me?" She asked, "You're making me envious here." 

"Hm." Drakken smacked her rear, "Go on and have your fun. Afterwards, I will reward you for being so fucking sexy, Saera....." 

"We're staying here a bit longer."
