Game of Thrones: Viserys the Three-Headed Dragon.

Chapter 52: Dreams and Questions about Dragonstone

Daenerys had long been accustomed to the dark curtain hanging in the sky in her dreams, as dark as ink.

She was looking at herself. She lowered her head and saw that her whole body was covered with dying flames. The flames enveloped her, cleansed her, and trained her without causing her any pain. She felt her muscles burnt and blackened under the flames, necrotizing and peeling off. She felt her blood boiling and evaporating.

In a trance, she had a strange feeling of breaking out of her shell and being reborn. In her dream, she felt a certain power in herself. It was a strange feeling.

She tried to feel it, to use it.

She suddenly found herself floating on the sea.

She remembered, it was that dream.

She looked ahead and saw Viserys, who was standing on an island with a dragon-shaped castle, with his arms open to her.

She looked back, and there was nothing there.

She woke up.

As soon as Daenerys woke up, she subconsciously turned her head to look at Viserys at the other end of the suite. There, she couldn't see what was happening on Viserys' side because of the screen with gorgeous paintings. Dany really wished she could climb onto her brother's bed without any scruples like when she was a child and listen to him tell her what her dream just now meant, just like he told her the story of the Seven Kingdoms when she was a child.

-

It has to be said that it was a risky move to let Dany continue to contact the dragon spirit after she told him that something was obviously wrong.

But after Viserys dealt with the curse on his hands, he still chose to let Daenerys come into contact with the dragon soul. He had to take this risk. Although only the Red God and the Cold God displayed divine power in the original book of Ice and Fire, it did not mean that he could relax his vigilance when he was in a mystery.

The greater the power, the more calmly you can deal with unknown dangers when they come.

There are still many jewelry shops in Tyrosh, but I haven't visited the weapon shops yet. Viserys's liver is just one step away from being completely transformed into a dragon.

Viserys needs absolutely reliable power to give himself enough confidence.

And on this day. On the thirteenth day of their arrival in Tyrosh, Viserys used the otherworldly magic extracted from the dragon soul in the dragon bones to completely transform his liver into a dragon. His liver now became his first magic center, through which he could use magic to construct a complete dragon body.

Although the current magical power is not enough to support the construction of a body that is too large, the complete dragon body, even if it is only three or four meters long, the complete magical organs and hard shell inside can allow Viserys to fully use the power of the Flame Ancient Oak when he has magic power.

And there is also good news. Viserys was originally worried that after the liver was completely transformed into a dragon, all the magic power he had would have to be grown and stored in one of the dragon scales, horns, or wings. But the actual situation is that the liver can still continue to store magic power.

This is probably because the dragon's liver has not yet reached the level of monster material that will not disappear from the world even if Viserys dies. You must know that in Hyrule, the liver of Grimock will not necessarily remain in the world after the ordinary Grimocks are destroyed. The probability of getting a dragon's liver from an ordinary Grimock is extremely low. Only when the King of Grimock dies will the liver remain.

This allowed Viserys to be more at ease, for dragon scales, wings, and horns were not easy to hide.

As soon as Viserys woke up, he turned over in his bed and looked carefully in Daenerys' direction. Daenerys didn't act unusually, but it was better to check.

Thinking of this, Viserys climbed up from the head of the bed, got up from the bed, and looked like he was going to the bathroom at night.

Before he walked out of the screen separating the two rooms, he ran into Dany, who seemed to have just gotten up to go to the bathroom.

"Brother, do you want to go to the bathroom too?" Viserys noticed that Dany was looking at him with uncontrollable joy on her face. She whispered shyly, "I just woke up. You go first."

Viserys was relieved. "Oh, if you need to go to the bathroom, go ahead. I'll just get up and drink some water."

"Oh." The girl took small steps towards the bathroom.

Viserys looked at Dany, who looked like a girl in love, and couldn't help but fall into thought again. Now that things have come to this, perhaps he should stick to his beginnings and end, follow the local customs, and obey the ancient traditions of the Valyrians.

The next day, Daenerys took advantage of Arnie's absence to quietly tell Viserys about her dream last night. Viserys didn't expect that the spark in Dany's body would change into a dying flame, and then she felt like she was reborn.

In the book, after coming into contact with the three dragon eggs, Daenerys soon had a similar dream. The difference is that in the book, when Dany came into contact with the dragon eggs, she dreamed of a giant dragon spewing flames at her, so she stretched out her arms to embrace the flames and let the flames completely devour her, while after coming into contact with the residual dragon soul on the dragon bones with Viserys, the residual magic on the dragon bones was absorbed by Dany's body, and changes occurred in her own body.

Without Viserys, Daenerys could only absorb eight parts of dragon bone magic at most. Without external force, she could not achieve this effect on her own. But Daenerys now achieved the effect of touching three dragon eggs on her own. Viserys could not explain what happened to her.

Dany resumed her previous dream, but the ghosts were gone.

Have they given up on Dany? Or have they lost their influence over her?
This can be considered good news in some ways.

Because this seems to mean that Viserys has the upper hand in the fight for Daenerys.

The strangest thing is that Dany dreamed of Viserys standing on an island that looked like Dragonstone.

Is this some kind of prophecy or some kind of hint?
Viserys' original plan to travel east on a merchant ship did not include Dragonstone. He planned to go to Volantis, which was very close to ancient Valyria. He had planned to collect enough magic power to transform into a dragon before the red comet appeared, and search for dragon souls in the ruins of Valyria.

Compared with the dragon bones in Westeros, the army of Valyria in its heyday could send out hundreds of dragons at the same time. Over the years, there must be a lot of dragon bones in the ruins, and Viserys, after turning into a dragon, is not afraid of ordinary black magic at all.

The original novel says that the captain of the Serenity, Crow's Eye Euron, found the dragon horn in the ruins of Valyria and brought it out, and also suspected to have found a dragon egg. Even though Euron is said to be able to do dark magic, he is still a mortal after all. If Euron can find good things, there is no reason why Viserys can't find them.

Before the arrival of the red comet, the magical power of this world should not be able to harm Viserys, who has transformed into a dragon.

He sometimes thought that maybe he could take a trip to Valyria and come out invincible.

But this was the second time Dany had dreamt of him on Dragonstone, although the two dreams seemed to be one continuous dream.

Dragonstone is located at the exit of Blackwater Bay. The castle of Dragonstone was built with advanced Valyrian masonry technology, which was lost in the Doom of Valyria. Dragonstone was once occupied by the Valyrian Empire as a bridgehead for invading Westeros. Later, the Targaryens followed the prophecy of Daenerys the Dreamwalker and migrated here, avoiding the Doom of Valyria. From then on, Aegon the Conqueror set out to conquer the six kingdoms of Westeros and establish the Targaryen dynasty.

If there is a dragon on Dragonstone, it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. The enemy has no choice but to attack with naval forces, and ships on the sea are sitting ducks for flying dragons, so Longyan is worried that the enemy soldiers will not gather together.

However, Tiger Rock may not be a good place to use as a base. Most of Dragonstone is volcanic, and there is not much land suitable for people to live on. The islands under its jurisdiction are sparsely populated, and the vassal states under its jurisdiction are even fewer. It is difficult to mobilize a large army relying on Dragonstone.

But that place is magical.

I won't talk about history. At this moment, Melisandre, the priestess of the Red God, is there, Patchface, who is suspected to have the power of the Drowned God, is there, and it is said that there is a stone dragon sleeping there.
There are also rich dragon glass deposits, volcanic areas where wild dragons live, castles built by Valyrians that may be able to block magic, and it is also the land that Targaryen has the most claim to. If they defend the island, they can use the island to spy on Westeros from the shore and move freely.

And when Robert died, the Seven Kingdoms were in turmoil, and Stannis launched the Battle of the Blackwater, Viserys did not need thousands of troops to attack Dragonstone. He only needed a hundred men to capture it easily.

Viserys tries to determine what Dany's renewed dream means.

But the strange thing is that when he let Daenerys contact the dragon soul again and try to recreate her dream, Dany can only see her burning body but can't feel the magical power.

Dany's dream was interrupted again.

It’s still the same question.

When Daenerys seemed to have broken through some realm, she dreamed of Viserys on Dragonstone. Was it a prophecy or a hint?
The art of war says: Do not underestimate the enemy because of the large number of troops, do not go against the majority because of your own opinion, and do not assume that arguments are inevitable.

The protagonist is in the fog of war, and the original work is vague about the power of gods.

The previous Duke Stephen Baratheon of the Lu family met Patchface (who was suspected to be stained by the Drowned God) in Volantis, and helped him redeem his freedom, intending to bring him back to Storm's End on his return from the Free Cities. Their returning ship sank in Shipwreck Bay, and all the people on board, including Duke Stephen Baratheon and his wife, died in the shipwreck, and only Patchface survived.
