House of The Dragon-A God Amongst Men-Chapter 141: Lure II

(Third Person POV)

"Rally the banners!!!" Jaehaerys bellowed, "Aemon, Alyssa, get on your dragons!! Fly to the Stormlands, Drakken has fled!!!"

He had walked inside the Small Council room where everyone had gathered, including Maegelle.

Alyssa and Aemon both stood up, "Father?" Aemon asked, "What do you mean?"

"Exactly what I said!!" Jaehaerys said as he looked at Rodrik Arryn, "Gather everyone, now!!"

"But Your Grace, there is still the Braavosi that are currently assaulting the Blackwater Gulf!" Rodrik said

"Tch...." Jaehaerys said, "We have more pressing matters to attend to!! Drakken is going to converge to the Stormlands, he was spotted fleeing that way!"

Maegelle looked at him, "What? What happened?!"

Baelon narrowed his eyes, "Do not tell me...." He said, "I-It works...."

"Corlys cut him...." Jaehaerys said as he panted, "He ran the moment it happened. It harmed him....he was hurt...."

Alysanne widened her eyes, "The power....it is true...." She said, "I cannot believe it...."

"W-What? What power?" Maegelle asked, "What is going on?!"

Baelon looked at Maegelle, "I did not think it would work....but there was a Sword that has the power to harm Drakken." He said, "We've brought you.....along with him...to attempt to kill him."

Maegelle widened her eyes, "Y-You....you WHAT?!"

Alysanne grabbed her by the shoulders, "You have to understand, my daughter...." She said, "We had to do something...."

She pulled away, "A-Are you mad?!" she said, "Do you understand what you've done?!"

"There is no time for this." Jaehaerys said seriously, "Aemon, Alyssa! Get your Dragons! Now!! We track him down and end him! Rendezvous with Corlys, he's on the chase!!"

"I.....I suppose so...." Alyssa said, "What good are our dragons, however?"

"Corlys said that he felt his power drain when he cut him." Jaehaerys said, "I saw it....it was some sort of reaction. The blade can cut through him and prevent him from healing while disrupting his power, it can wo-"

"You fools!!" Maegelle cut her off, a terrified expression on her face, "T-The Duskguard will mobilize....they will destroy the Realm.....y-you do not understan-"

"Their power comes from Drakken!" Jaehaerys said, "If he dies, their power is gone! As well as his Beasts!"

"And if it doesn't?!" Maegelle asked, "How can you be so sure?!"

"He's the one who created them!" Jaehaerys scowled, "It has to be the case!"

"It is not!!" Maegelle exclaimed, "I know it!! Even if it is, you cannot guarantee that you will not be destroyed before you kill him!! Drakken is not that stupid!!"

"Lock her up in the Tower, Saera as well!!" Jaehaerys exclaimed, "We need to act quickly!! NOW!!!!"

[Stormlands]

"Tch...." Drakken said as he reached a Duskguard camp, holding his bleeding arm, "Dammit....."

"My Lord!!" a Duskguard soldier ran up to him, "Are you alright?!"

Drakken reached him and immediately clutched him by the throat, draining him of his power slowly as he widened his eyes. The soldier was drained of his magic power, Drakken using it to attempt to heal his wound.

He grimaced as everyone else watched him with surprise, "Tch....!!!" He said as he noticed the wound did not heal, "Well....shit....."

He let go of the soldier and he collapsed on the ground, coughing violently, "M-My Lord...." He managed, "Did I do something wrong?"

"No." Drakken said, "Contact Olyver! Tell him to increase the security on the Dark Shade and to secure the Obelisk! I will try to reestablish the connection to them."

He walked past the gate and reached one of the commanding officers, grabbing him by his cuirass.

"My Lord?" He said with surprised

"You." He said, "Corlys Velaryon and his men are on the chase. When he gets here, I want you to shout these words 'Do not let them interrupt Our Lord from reconnecting with the Obelisk.', do you understand? Word for word. Do not let them find out about the Dark Shade. Also....Minimal Resistance."

"Minimal?" He asked, "Are you certain?"

"Jon is getting ready for my signal...." Drakken said while grimacing, "He will launch a counter-offensive on King's Landing. I will get Ammaria here....but fuck....."

"Are you alright?" He asked

"That fucking thing...." Drakken said, "It hurts so much...it could actually kill me....."

"Worry not!" the officer said, "We won't let them get past us! They will not kill you!!!"

Drakken nodded and then proceeded to walk inside the small building that they had built. As this happened, the soldiers then saw that there were horseriders approaching rapidly. There was around 40 to 50 men that were on horseback, charging straight towards them.

The Duskguard saw that Drakken was in the building, doing what he said he was going to do.

As the horse-riders approached, the Duskguard Officer drew his sword, "Men!!" He shouted, "Protect Our Lord!! Do Not Let Them Interrupt Our Lord From Reconnecting To The Obelisk!!"

As Corlys approached, on horseback, he narrowed his eyes, "He is trying to heal himself?" He said, "He has some ability to draw power from elsewhere?!"

The Duksguard then attacked the horseriders, locking themselves in a fierce fighting. The Horseriders swung their blades down at the soldiers, clashing viciously as Corlys cleaved through men with ease, the Sword ripping through the armor like nothing.

He entered the Outpost atop his horse and jumped off, "DRAKKEN!!!!"

He then cut down several Duskguard Soldiers as he made his way to the building, where there was a bright light shining inside.

Corlys smirked, "I have you now!!" He shouted as he kicked the door down

Drakken was standing in the middle, scowling, "You fucking...." He said as he clutched his bleeding arm, "Corlys!!"

Corlys lunged at him, swinging his sword down fiercely at.

For some reason, Drakken could not move as quickly as he wanted and the blade cut his chest, a bright blue light emitting as the wound burned greatly.

"Arghhh!!!" Drakken shouted in pain, "Y-You!!"

"How does it feel, Drakken!!!" Corlys said as he stumbled, "To be weakened, to be helpless!!!"

"Tch....." Drakken said as he jumped away from another swing, "Fuck off...."

"I will not let you heal yourself, even if you could." Corlys said, "I will fucking kill you!! Here and Now!!!!!!"

"Oh fuck's sake...." Drakken said as he disappeared

"Dammit!!" Corlys said, "He could not have gotten that far...his power is being drained!!"

He was right, Drakken simply teleported right outside of the building, staggering down to the ground as the fighting happened.

"This is great...." He said with an annoyed look on his face

Suddenly, there was roaring in the sky.

Drakken looked up to see three dragons flying towards where he was; Vermithor, Caraxes, and Meleys.

"Hm..." He said as Corlys barged out of the building, "Interesting...."

"Drakken!!!" Corlys bellowed, "This is it!!"

Drakken then looked out of the Outpost's wooden walls, seeing that atop a hill, a Sept was standing. It was a large one, enough for dozens of people to be inside and pray.

"Hm...." He said as Corlys lunged at him while the dragons approached

The Mad Lord swung his sword only to miss; Drakken had teleported again. He then looked over to see that Drakken was dragging himself up the hill and towards the Sept.

"Oh, is that how it is?" Corlys smirked, "Today is the day you die, False God!!"

"And you will do it in a Sept?!"
