Chapter 46: Chapter 46 — The Price of Flame Echoes of the Past
Kaerys stood before the shattered statues of old Valyrian heroes, their broken faces staring blankly at a world gone mad. The city's cries echoed in her ears, a haunting reminder of all that was lost — and what still could be won.
An Unlikely Pact
In a dim chamber, Kaerys and the mysterious Valyrian survivor sealed an uneasy alliance.
"Together, we might tame the dragons," the stranger said. "But be warned — the magic that binds them is older and darker than you know."
Kaerys's eyes burned with determination. "Then I will learn its secrets."
Betrayal's Shadow
Lord Daven's treachery came to light as spies uncovered his secret dealings with the enemy. The halls of power grew colder as allies became suspects, and suspicion poisoned every word.
A Moment of Doubt
Late at night, Neron found Kaerys staring into the flames, her face unreadable.
"Do you regret it?" he asked softly.
Kaerys shook her head. "Regret is a luxury for those who can afford to lose."
The Dragon's Roar
Serenthis soared high, her flames tearing through the gathering storm clouds — a fiery beacon in a world drowning in shadow.
