  BOOOM!

  BOOOM!

  BOOOM!

  BOOOM!

  Explosioed within the fog of Valyria as various greyscale-ied creatures ran, only to be shattered into pieces by the fmes.

  And who was their target? Jon Artica, calmly watg the crowd while standing alone, beginning to burn aroy all those who tried to attack him.

  Jon had reunited with his men after finding the Valyrian steel fe, causing them to immediately disagree with his decision to veo the fire-ed nds, fag all the beast-men alone.

  Jon didn't want anyone else with him, as they would only be a hindrance, especially after two royal guards had been ied. He became very tense as they removed their armor, revealing the areas where the ied had touched them with their hands or even with their highly tagious blood.

  The battle against those creatures began as soon as Jon announced his location in front of the gate, bursting apart those who wandered nearby waiting to attack. It wasn't difficult for a crowd to flee the city.

  Johe blessing of fire strohan ever before, perhaps his Valyrian side was reag; after all, Targaryen blood carries magic. But it had never done more than spark a fme until now. He was taking advantage of this power to ehese nds, which would otherwise be nearly impossible for him to hah their dangers.

  Some greyscale-ied appeared from the side trying to grab him, while he waited, throwing more fireballs with one hand while holding his Valyrian steel sword iher.

  The crowd was easy to fend off when he was dealing with the beasts charging at him. It was as if he were fighting wights, but without their masters to and them, making them even easier to deal with.

  After ung a few more fireballs that exploded while slowing down the main group, footsteps were heard. Jon swiftly moved his sword, sshing through those greyscale-ied that were already close to him. They were cut like paper, despite their skin being hardened with the grey yer that made it tougher, but Valyrian steel was very effective in slig through his enemies.

  He tinued cutting down those close to him and obliterating dozens of them with each shot of his fmes, while the people ihe castle could only hear the explosions outside.

  "He'll be okay… right?" Daenerys couldn't help but fear for Jon, who had decided to veo Valyria without prote despite everyone's protests, but this was the king's order.

  "He'll be okay… even though he promised he would take me with him…" Arya murmured, a little frustrated, though deep down, she believed Jon was right that anyone apanying him would only get in his way.

  "I think you're right…" Despite her fear, Daenerys believed that Jon could survive that chaos after witnessing everything he was capable of.

  The royal guards were in the er, trying to the ied to prevent others from toug them or spreading the greyscale to the rest of their bodies.

  The battle tinued as Jon had already lost track of time while he was destroying more and more enemies. He found himself surrouhis time, as the enemies seemed endless, f him to retreat past the castle wall with the beasts pursuing him through the same hole, only to be bloart with great force.

  Jon started thinking about eliminating most of them with an advarategy. He ran along the fortress's side, being followed, and began exploding the towers on that side, far from his panions or the vault. The towers started to colpse with enormous stones, and Jon ran from there with the greyscale-ied being crushed by the rubble. Jo satisfied to see hundreds of them being buried, and he tinued doing this until he felt slightly exhausted. He quickly drew his swords and began cutting them down as they came in smaller numbers.

  When a rger group appeared, making it impossible for him to deal with them using only his swords, he tinued with his fiery explosions.

  After some time, he finally stopped being so relentlessly pursued. He tried to use the eerrain to his advantage, using the va and the a city's structures, until only a few remained. Most of those left, which was at least a third of them, seemed to finally feel fear and fled. Jon mao move faster than them, and the va did not burn him.

  It was only after killing the st ohat he could finally sigh. He didn't know how much magic he had used, but he was lucky to have grown so much since gaining these powers from the old gods, although he suspected that this fire magic came from his blood, as his only magitil now had been healing and wood element manipution.

  Setting that aside, he o return now, with no further sign of any greyscale-ied, who seemed to be hiding in their holes for the time being. He was tired, his breathing a bit irregur, as he headed back to the castle, avoiding the areas he had affected, making his way to the door he Valyrian steel fe.

  "My king!" The royal guards quickly opehe door for Jon to pass through as Daenerys and Arya approached him swiftly.

  "I mao clear out some of the group, but I o sit for about 20 minutes before we return to the ship," Jon said as his family apanied him to a er.

  "That was madness, you know that, don't you?" Daenerys murmured, cheg him for any wounds.

  "I'm fine… just tired. You know that if I hadn't dohis alone, we wouldn't have made it out of here alive, let aloart moving things from the vault to the ship," Jon said, resting for a moment.

  They finally decided to depart, and the ied royal guards were helped as everyone began to leave. "We will find a cure for you, I promise," Jon said to those who seemed uhusiastic about the prospect of beis in this pce.

  Leaving the area, they headed for the gate that Jon had destroyed further, with ied bodies ah all around. "You sure know how to make a massacre…" Arya couldn't help but ent as they followed the same path they had taken from the ship to the castle, notig some of the beasts watg them, but none daring to e closer.

  "It seems they feel fear. Let them stay that way," Jon mocked, and after some time, they finally emerged at the port, where the Artis seemed to be drinking amid the otion.

  "Our king was risking his life, and they're celebrating like this?" a royal guard growled.

  "It's fi seems the heat made them resort to a ba," Jon saw no harm in it. After all, no one could have known what was happening with them on the expedition.

  Regardless, they returo the ship, where they saw that most of the men were ing drinks with ice.

  "Stop that now." Jon's voice echoed with a tohat overpowered all others, bringing a hush over them as they looked at him.

  "Well… now let me talk about our situation here," Jon, seeing the silen the air, began to speak about some of the things they had found, along with a pn involving all the giants and Wind, who would have to use magi the giants, exerting much more effort than before.

  In the end, the group grew much rger as they set out again for the nd of fire, crossing the va while the dwarves made ents here and there about the creatures.

  -men ehem, and the Artis were prepared to face those things as well. After having to take another route through the city—the giants were not ideal for crossing the bridges built over the va they had passed—they finally reached the site, breaking down the door as Jon led several men into the vault, filling numerous chests they had brought from the ships.

  "Put all the gold in the chests. I just want you to be careful with the dragon eggs and the painting. Take care of the Valyrian steel ons and swords; I'll decide what to do with them ter," Jon ordered, while his men quickly moved, gathering everything, beginning to empty the vault.

  It wasn't an easy task; there were over 10 million gold s after Jon found another wall with even old. This required many trips between the ship and the castle and back.

  This time, Daenerys and Arya stayed on the ship, as Jon had said his mehere, and there was no reason for them to risk entering danger again.

  "My king..." A royal guard approached with an unsatisfied tone.

  "Is something wrong?" Jon asked, that half the vault was already empty, while the ships at the port were being filled with the spoils.

  "The fe... the dwarves won't let the giants start moving it," he said, and Jon raised an eyebrow.

  "What are they up to this time..." Jon muttered with a narrow look as they went to see what the problem was, findi giants surrounded by sixteen dwarves, preventing them from getting close.

  "What is this now?!" Jon said, raising his voice, catg everyone's attention.

  "They want to destroy this fe!" a dwarf excimed.

  "Yes... we won't let the most beautiful thing in the world be destroyed by these four-meter-tall troglodytes!"

  "You think you get past us...? We will never let you y a finger on this fe!"

  Jon saw this a like smag those little fools. "I ordered them to remove the fe," Jon said with a serious tone.

  "What?!" one of the dwarves excimed. "But that's socially inappropriate!!"

  "Yes, my king... resider this, you see how beautiful this fe is, the most beautiful of all, the fe of fes! Don't destroy it like this, I beg you!!" One of them was starting to have a meltdown, even g.

  "I'm taking this fe to Artica. You stop interfering now; they won't break it, just move it to one of the ships. And I'd appreciate your help si evewenty giants with us could manage easily, and the city streets are filled with rivers of va," Jon said, unwilling to waste more time.

  "Hmmmmm... Uood!!" The dwarves finally seemed to accept this.

  "If it's going to Artica, let me be the oo keep it!"

  "Stop the nonse's going to my home. I'll show it to Thor; he'll die of envy."

  The dwarves kept rambling, but Jon had no patience left to respond ahem tanize how to start moving the fe with the strength of several giants.

  This went on for a while until the vault was finally emptied, and they headed out, all the giants struggling signifitly to move the fe, using wooden beams to roll it along. Even all the giants together couldn't lift the entire fe, which weighed over 20 tons, from what they could tell. Despite being made of a lighter metal, it was entirely structed from it, so it was still incredibly heavy. Even the floor it stood on was made of Valyrian steel, perfect for the ritual of creating this magical metal using a dragon's fmes.

  And so, they tinued moving it through the city, stopping to rest, with the hardest parts being when they had to cross rivers of va flowing through the streets, f them to break down houses to get through.

  It took them six hours to travel a path that Jon had pleted in 30 minutes, but they finally reached the port.

  "Pce the fe on our ship!!" the dwarves quickly requested Jon, and seeing that it wasn't wise to put everything on one ship, he nodded while they found a higher pce to set the fe in the ter of the deck. The ship leao one side uhe weight, its pnks crag, sinking a little into the sea, but it stabilized a moment ter, indig it wouldn't sink.

  "Well, it looks like we're done here. Let's return to the ships," Jon decred, leaving the ship full of dwarves behind, who seemed to view that Valyrian steel fe as something divine, admiring it as if it were the most beautiful thing they had ever seen, with some even deg it was more beautiful than their own wives.

  Everyone Jon's words, as giants and men began to move to the other two ships. There was nothing else to take from that city, as they had emptied all the gold and everything most precious. Other pces in Valyria were impossible for them to reach, after all, this was one of the cities that remaihe most intact after the Doom; many had been pletely destroyed.

  "My king... that fe..." an Arti man was a bit ed about the ship with the fe moving. It was obvious that due to its weight, tinuing on the high seas would dey the entire fleet, but Jon had a pn.

  "Let's distribute the load across several ships carrying that one full of dwarves... that should pensate for the speed," Jon expined about redistributing the cargo.

  Everyone nodded and began b the ship. As Jon was about to return to the ship himself, he suddenly stopped, his eyes drifting back towards the city.

  'What is that…?' he thought, while some people looked at him with curiosity at his strange behavior. But Jo his gaze fixed on the smoke of Valyria, where he could see nothing beyond the first ruined ses of the city visible from the port.

  It was a strange feeling, like a calling, but not from that city. His gaze ward, as if looking beyond the volic mountains that loomed over the city. The ruined city was just a small portion of the a civilization; the rgest cities were in the mountains, where the powerful families of the dragonlords resided. Jon, of course, had no idea what dition they were in, and doubted that many remained, being close to where the Doom had inated.

  As he focused on that point, something happened—a thunderous sound echoed from that dire, followed by a gigantic roar that resonated, seeming to shake all of Valyria at that moment. It even seemed as though the roar had happened minutes ago due to the distance.

  ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRR

  "What is that?" His men quickly exged gnces, raising their swords, worried about a new monster ing from that dire.

  "It's almost an echo… This creature isn't here… that sound came from ab    ove us, from the mountains of Valyria," Jon warhem, trying to ease s about an immi attack. After all, this creature should be more than 100 kilometers away, leaving him to wonder what it was.

  "That was a dragon's roar… but non could have such power in its voice," Jon murmured to himself, pensive. He couldn't doubt anything in this world anymore after seeing so many things that would have been impossible for the boy of eight namedays trapped in Winterfell. Yet, he couldn't uand why an unknown dragon was there or what it signified, and more importantly, why it roared as if Jon were its target.

  His gaze remained fixed on the mist and gases, trying to dis if there was anything more beyond that roar. But nothing happened for the en minutes as Jon stood there, lost in thought.

  He shook his head and decided that, as surprising as it was to discover a living dragon in Valyria, there was nothing more for them there, and that beast was beyond his reach, far beyond even ibal on Skagos.

  "Let's go, everyone. Head to the sea," he decred, and all his men prepared to leave food.

  "Jon, what was that?" Daenerys approached him as soon as she could, asking with some , holding a bck egg in her hands the eime, unwilling to part with it.

  "I don't know, but it doesn't matter anymore," Jon replied. "Let's move forward to the fleet." That was all he said before heading over to Arya as well.

  The ships began to depart, leaving the port behind with the water still bubbling as a background sound. Despite everything, the spoils had been incredible for Artica. More than just treasure, there were even some books stored in the vault and preserved, having been shielded from the heat.

  Jon looked at the armors now dispyed on new mannequins, carefully pced in a special room, alongside the eggs and the painting of the charade with a part of the map, which were the most valuable items found. All the gold went to the ship's ste, making them evehier. But even so, the fe on one of the ships, which swayed with some difficulty, was the most valuable item that would have the greatest impact when they returo Artica. Johat Eragon would be ready with his fmes to create the metal.

  Jon aimed te a force Valyrian steel. He would start with himself and his family, then the royal guards, generals, aually the anders of the Arti army, solidifying it as the stro military for the world.

  Johe armors behind, notig his aunt approag with eyes that clearly held more questions for him. She had ged a lot in just a single moon's time. For someone who initially said she was willing to give him a ce to prove that he was her blood, she was now much more open, looking at him with eyes of admiration and even a certain passion. Jon didn't ent on this, only smiling at her.

  "I see you've already chosen y," Jon remarked, smiling at Daenerys, who was carefully holding the same egg she had taken from the vault's chest the eime.

  "Yes. Do you think it will hatch?" she asked with a hopeful tone.

  "Of course it will, but I believe it will happen when my child is born, just like the eggs hatched in Artica when Jon and Lyanna were born," Jon said. She seemed excited by this, as it could happen soon, perhaps even in a few days.

  "That's wonderful… so I o start thinking of a name!" she excimed, and Jon urning his attention to the other fourteen eggs nearby.

  He couldn't help but sider that if all the eggs hatched, there might be a problem dealing with all the baby dragons at sea. But that wasn't a for now.

  Meanwhile, the ships finally left the smoke of Valyria behind and sailed toward the open sea, where the fleet awaited them.
