Game of Thrones: Viserys the Three-Headed Dragon.

Chapter 64 Transformation into a Dragon
Silvery white lightning flashed outside the window.

Then there was a rumbling thunder, as if the whole world was torn apart at this moment.

After the thunder, the heavy rain and surging waves that were briefly obscured by the thunder once again occupied all the sounds that human ears could hear, like the sound of thousands of troops galloping.

The waves hit the boat, making a deafening roar. The boat swayed unsteadily, as if it would be swallowed by the ruthless waves at any time.

Daenerys opened her eyes again, and she was awakened by thunder for the nth time. She heard Viserys whisper in her ear, "Are you dreaming again?"

"Yeah." She responded softly, struggling to get up from the bed, hugging his waist, and putting her head on his chest to listen to his heartbeat. This made her feel calm. "Its roar seems to be stronger. I can feel that its power is stirring."

"I understand." Viserys let his body slide down a little from the headboard of the bed, holding her head and rubbing her shoulders as a way of comforting her.

The merchant ship's return journey was not as smooth as the trip there. The sea when it came was like a pensive girl, with a sunny day and calm winds. But now it was like an angry sea beast, roaring with a ferocious look on its face and huge waves.

The first day they left Astapor, the sea was covered with dark clouds, and it began to rain that night.

And that wasn't the worst of it. What was worse was that Viserys had intended to get rid of the priests of the Red God, but she still got on the ship.

The priestess left the seven accompanying Fire Hands on the merchant ship that was carrying them in Astapor as a cover, and secretly negotiated with the captain of one of the two rowing boats, the Summer Sun, who was the most devout believer in the Red God, and even boarded the Summer Sun earlier than the Unsullied stationed on the merchant ship by Viserys - Glolai insisted that he was not aware of this.

It was not until the first night after going to sea that Daenerys dreamed that a dragon roared and called her, and it was on the ship in front. Viserys only then knew about it, and then he took people to interrogate Grol.

Grole didn't know why Viserys claimed that the priestess of the Red God was on the Summer Sun, but Viserys brought the Unsullied to him for questioning, and there were sixty fully armed and ready Unsullied on the Cedurian. Grole could only ask the navigator to send a signal flag to clarify the situation.

In fact, Grolai was mentally prepared that Viserys would take over the actual command of the three ships at any time on the way back. Otherwise, he would not have to divide the two hundred Unsullied into three ships in the name of assisting in guarding against pirates, and let his two centurions each lead seventy people to be stationed on the Summer Sun and the Joso.

If they just planned to return by boat, the big-bellied merchant ship, the Sidurion, could easily accommodate the two hundred people.

However, they failed to get to know the situation clearly and send the priestess to the Cedurian in the speedboat, and they sailed into the storm, which lasted for two days and two nights on and off.

The waves are huge, and rowing boats cannot rely on sailors rowing all the time to provide power. The most reasonable way to deal with storms and rough waves at sea is to stop the ship's progress, secure all the cargo and equipment on the ship, place the movable heavy objects in the center of the ship and fix them, turn the ship towards the wind and let it drift with the waves. This sailing posture is called "slow wind", and in this way, the ship can reduce the wind force and impact it receives.

Faced with such winds and waves, the towing ropes of merchant ships and rowing boats must be as long as possible so that the ships do not affect each other.

The intermittent, sometimes fierce and sometimes mild winds and rains over the past two days have actually caused the merchant ship to deviate from its original course, but they can only wait for the storm to pass before they can re-identify the direction and set sail again.

From this perspective, it would be better to continue waiting in Astapod for a few more days in the current situation.

But even if it was a wrong decision, it had already brought the situation to this point, and blaming others or regretting it was not something Viserys should do.

Dany could feel that Viserys was under a lot of stress these days. He was awake every time she woke up. She almost never saw him sleep. She suddenly asked, "Are you okay?"

Viserys rubbed her shoulder. "I'm fine. Are you?"

Dany was actually fine. The dream she had every time she fell asleep, where she was called by the dragon's roar, was not a nightmare. Every time she woke up, she had an urge to go to the dragon's roar, but there was nothing to worry about. Moreover, this dream made Viserys take the initiative to ask her to sleep in the same bed before marriage, which made their intimacy go further. Daenerys had mixed feelings about this matter. She hoped it would end soon, but she also hoped it would not end. "I'm fine too. When the storm is over, what are you going to do with the priestess of the Red God and the dragon egg?"

She had never asked before, but today she suddenly wanted to find out.

Viserys said, "Take the eggs and throw her into the sea."

Dany's head swelled in his arms. She leaned out to look at his expression in the shadows, then lay back in his arms. "You wouldn't do that."

“I really thought about doing that.”

Silver-white lightning flashed outside the window again, followed by a loud thunder.

But this time, after the thunder subsided, the sound of wind, rain and waves that returned was mixed with other sounds.

Woo——woo——woo——

It was a warning signal, and it sounded very close. It was the warning signal of the Saidullion.

Three trombones.

pirate?

Viserys got out of bed and walked quickly to the window. He pushed it open and the heavy rain poured in through the window, hitting him and soaking his clothes.

How could pirates appear in such weather?

Woo——woo——woo——

The Sedulion's alarm horn sounded again.

Woo-ang——

A strange trumpet sounded, right outside Viserys's door. It was the horn of the Unsullied.

Missandei, who was sleeping on the maid's bed at the door, woke up with a start and rushed into the inner room. She shouted loudly, "My lord!"

At this time, Viserys had already put on his coat and tied his sword belt. He shouted, "Help the lady put on her leather armor!" Then he walked to the bed and held down Daenerys who was about to get up. "You stay in the room, I'll go out and take a look."

Then he walked quickly to the door.

The five Unsullied guards outside the door did not turn back, but looked vigilantly towards the exit to the deck. Only a captain with a horn hanging on his body said in Valyrian: "Sir." He was waiting for orders.

Viserys ordered in a deep voice: "Leave two men to guard the door, and the rest of you follow me to the deck!"

The situation was more serious than expected. When coming out of the deck exit, a crossbow arrow passed in front of Viserys and nailed to the wooden board of the exit.

An Unsullied walking in front of Viserys was shot in the arm by a crossbow arrow, and the remaining two Unsullied immediately leaned down. One of them was about to pounce on Viserys, but Viserys dodged it.

The Unsullied who was ready to protect Viserys collided with the rain-soaked deck, making a thumping sound. His companions hurriedly pulled him back. An instant later, a rain of arrows fell from the deck outside the exit. Although the arrows were not accurate enough, they were enough to suppress the exit.

This meant that the pirates who attacked the merchant ships had approached close enough for long-range strikes with bows and crossbows.

Viserys could only observe from the narrow perspective of the exit. With the flickering firelight and occasional lightning on the deck, Viserys saw several sailors hiding behind masts and railings. Some of them were pierced by arrows, and bright red blood was flowing on the deck with the rain.

There was a hatch in the middle of the deck that led to the lower cabin. Viserys saw the hatch open once, but it was quickly suppressed by the crooked crossbow arrows. It seemed that someone was hit by an arrow. The opening of the hatch was too small, and it was necessary to climb a ladder, so the people in the cabin could not get out one by one.

In the past, when pirates were discovered from a distance, there was enough time to prepare, but this encounter was obviously beyond everyone's expectations.

This group of pirates was experienced and had already gained the upper hand before they rammed the merchant ship and engaged in boarding combat.

The pirates' rain of arrows was not dense, but it was enough to suppress the merchant ship's exits and prevent the people on board from boarding the deck to prepare for defense. The Saiduliong did not have a ballista, so it could not actively attack the enemy's ship. At this moment, it could only wait for the enemy to hit it and then board the ship for close combat.

A bolt of lightning split the sky.

Amid the rumbling thunder, a loud noise was heard from the right side of the merchant ship, and the merchant ship began to sway violently.

Viserys heard the sound of someone falling behind him. He turned around and saw Missandei, the maid. When he turned around, Viserys saw Daenerys, wearing leather armor, rushing past two Unsullied who were unable to stop her under the shaking merchant ship. She was holding a dragon bone shortbow that she had used for training in the past and ran towards Viserys on the shaking merchant ship. The black cloak embroidered with a single three-headed fire-breathing dragon with a black background and red color was raised high behind Daenerys. She did not fall, but the quiver on her back was dropping arrows.

Normally, after the collision, the pirates' ships would be able to engage in boarding combat, and there should be deafening shouts of killing.

But now there was none, only the unsettling sound of thunder, heavy rain and waves.

The hatch in the middle of the deck opened again, but was soon suppressed by arrows. The light from the hatch opening was too dazzling in the rainy night. The people inside realized this and extinguished the candles, but still failed to rush out.

In the light of lightning and the flickering firelight that came from somewhere, Viserys saw several sailors hiding behind the masts on the deck looking in a certain direction with wide eyes.

Their faces were filled with despair.

Viserys knew that this was his moment to make a decision.

He turned around and ran towards the room, and when he passed Daenerys he picked her up by the waist.

The Unsullied followed without a moment's hesitation.

Dany was surprised at her brother's unusual behavior. She didn't know what he was going to do. She only heard Viserys shouting, "Soldiers, hold the door for me until I give the order!"

Then he entered the house and slammed the door shut.

Viserys kicked open the window facing the sea, and the storm brought rain into the room. He put down Daenerys, who was carried in by her, and tore the bow and quiver from her hands. He quickly took off his coat and put it on her along with the sword belt, and then pressed her shoulders heavily: "Trust me, get on my back!"

After saying this, Viserys turned around and squatted in front of the window, waiting for her to get on his back.

Daenerys suddenly realized something and her heart beat faster. She climbed onto Viserys' back and hugged his neck tightly with both hands.

Without a word, Viserys carried her on his back and jumped out of the window.

The rain kept hitting Daenerys' face.

She couldn't open her eyes.

She could only feel herself falling and hear the howling of the wind and the crashing of the waves.

At a certain moment, she felt a hot breath emanating from Viserys, whom she was hugging. A violent air flow burst out from under her with steaming hot air. A hot gale surrounded her. The cold rain became boiling hot in a short moment. She felt the body of Viserys, whom she was hugging, turned into hot scales with a scorching and vibrant touch.

Daenerys's hands touched the scales that emitted a hot breath. Viserys's suddenly expanded body almost made her lose balance and fall. Her fingers grabbed randomly looking for a foothold, and finally she found herself in the middle of the long snake-like dragon's neck, so she didn't need to worry about falling at all.

The cloak of Viserys she was wearing caught fire in the instant. She resisted the urge to pull it away, but fortunately it was quickly extinguished by the rain.

Daenerys could feel the heat from the dragon's scales between her thighs, could smell the leather she was wearing burning in the scorching heat, and she found herself tensing as if her heart would explode.

Tear!

She heard the dragon's wings beating the air.

Daenerys squinted her eyes and looked down. The sea below was like an inky black tapestry, and the sea surface was moving away from her. She was riding on the long neck of the three-headed dragon that Viserys had transformed into, with scales as black as ink.

She is flying.

The dragon's wings flapped, and Daenerys clasped her hands together as she followed Viserys through the rain, past the huge Thaedrion, until she was taller than the top of the merchant ship's mast.

"Dracarys!"

She heard Viserys's voice booming like thunder in her ears.

She felt the dragon's neck in her arms grow hotter, like a furnace.

Then, she saw a laser-like flame ray piercing through the rain curtain and cutting through the sky, like a burning flaming blade, slashing towards the pirate ship with half-hanging black sails, a dark red hull, and a black iron girl statue on the bow.

The mast of the pirate ship with the black sail was instantly cut off by the flaming blade, but the flaming laser continued to sweep towards the shadowy figure on the ship with its residual force.

The huge flaming wound extended from the mast and front deck of the pirate ship to the black iron girl statue on the bow, and also cut through many human figures on the deck of the pirate ship.

But Daenerys heard no screams, only the rumble of thunder in the sky and the great sound of the dragon's wings flapping, and Viserys's thunderous voice:

"I, King Viserys III, command you from my dragon. Unsullied, strike back!"

Reference ship Saidu Lyon
Once the hatch exit of this kind of big-bellied cargo ship is blocked, except for the captain's room on the deck and the luxurious suite added inside the cabin, people in the cabin can easily be trapped inside and unable to rush out.
