Ice and Fire: Reign of the Dragon

When Ringor heard his father ask this question, he straightened his back quickly. He knew that the topic Longzel was going to tell him was very important, and he had to listen attentively.

If you guessed it right, this is related to the future of the Varese family.

"Lingol, what I want to tell you is the history and future that I know." Longzell put his arm around his son's shoulders and led him to Vhagar's skull. “Not what you read in books, but what I saw with my own eyes.”

"You must remember what I told you, child." Ronzel switched to High Valyrian. He glanced at Ringol who seemed to be looking for paper and pen: "Don't write it down on paper. , use your brain to remember.”

"Yes." Ringor pursed his lips and stood still, obediently standing beside his father, waiting for Long Zell to tell.

"What I'm going to tell you next is the history and future I saw in the prophecy, as well as your grandfather's research results, and the combination of what I saw." Longzel put his hand on Vhagar's skull. , slowly said everything Ringor had never heard.

"My father became famous throughout the Black Wall of Volantis for his strange behavior when he was young. No one knows why he is so strange. It is obvious that the family has been raising slaves for so many years, but he is about to do something. What kind of indentured workers caused the family to be besieged by all the Black Wall nobles? No one knows why he was so obsessed with organizing the workers, miners and farmers in the family to try new things. It was these behaviors that caused the Varese family to be in trouble when he was young. Wealth has shrunk significantly.”

Ronzel smiled and talked about his father's past: "But after the things he finally experimented really made the Varese family rise, everyone only dared to curse him quietly, and no one dared to speak to the family again. Talking nonsense in front of me, after having enough power and wealth, My father just started his research on our bloodline. He always said some strange things at that time, such as if he had watched A Song of Ice and Fire or Game of Thrones, but this did not affect his addiction to magic and blood. He did achieve some success in his experiments.”

Ringol looked at his father curiously, then at Vhagar's skull, and continued to listen silently to Longzel's telling of these stories that he would not usually read in classes or books.

"The bloodline of the Varese family is inherited from ancient Valyria. Our direct ancestors were one of the first fourteen people involved in training dragons, Varese the Blacksmith. According to legend, they fetched the Eternal from the depths of the volcano. From then on, the shepherds of Valyria became the masters of the dragons, and a great 'empire' rose on the edge of civilization. "

He sighed, and then said: "But my father didn't think that was the case. He felt that the ancestors of the Valyrian people and the dragons had committed unspeakable horrific acts, so we also have the blood of dragons flowing in our bodies. Because of this , even if we are not dragon knights, we still The dragons could still be approached, unless they were hungry. My father believed that the Valyrian dragonlords used sorcery to make men, women, and beasts mate in the pits of Gorgoss, not just for fun, but to continue. Ancient experiments, they want more."

"But what my father didn't know is that all of this is not only the history of the secular world, but also the help of this world. What I am going to tell you now is another perspective that I saw in a way that is unknowable to mortals. History. Of course, it’s not necessarily true, it’s just a perspective.”

"In a distant and unknown age, the world we live in was born. At that time, the oceans ebb and flow from exhaustion, and the earth rose from them. The first life was also born, and forests, seabeds, and Lakes and rivers, intelligent life and the world played their first movement. As the world gradually stabilized, what we mortals call 'gods' also appeared. They may be the leaders of the major races. passed down from generation to generation, The gods themselves may be some strange creatures, but what is above them is the great will of this world, which is fiery, bright, shadowy, burning, as well as silent, dark, dead, and cold. , they symbolize They represent the vigorous life and eternal silence, symbolizing the vitality and anger of this world. They are the old gods that the ancestors believed in, and R'hllor, the king of light prevalent in the Eastern Continent, is also them, and even the unspeakable aliens in the legend. God is them too.”

"Father, I remember Dr. Vesalius talked about this issue." Ringol thought of the knowledge he had read: "Although the Red God belief of the Lord of Light is generally considered to be a dualistic religion, some people think that the Red God The god and the cold god are one, although the latter is fiercely opposed by the red-robed monks."

"They are one body, but they are not one body." Long Zell is actually not sure about this, but what he can be sure of is that whether it is the Red God, the Cold God, or the Old God, the Thousand-faced God, etc., who have shown miracles, Gods are essentially the chords and echoes of this world playing music from different periods. "I saw dragons born from the shadowed land. They were the 'creations' of the Red God, carrying the music of fire. I saw blue-eyed humanoids, or 'White Walkers', 'demons'. 'Born in the darkness and ice and snow, they are the 'messengers' of the 'Cold God', playing the music of ice." Long Zell touched his son's hair and sighed: "When ice and fire alternate, especially when ice and fire alternate. It was when 'ice' occupied this world, the long night and eternal winter were coming, and we were about to usher in the end. The intelligent races in ancient times discovered this, so the first emperor of the Kingdom of Dawn appeared in this world, In the era of the Kingdom of Dawn, the ancients who were troubled by the song of ice and fire were looking for many ways. Legend has it that the shepherds of Valyria had the blood of the Amethyst Queen flowing in their bodies. She tried to master the power of 'fire' The symbol came to resist the eternal night of 'ice' and maintain the fragile balance within it, but she failed. Her brother Bloodstone Emperor sought the power of the 'powerful god' from outside the world to resolve the movement of ice and fire once and for all."

"Father, I remember that the Blood Stone Emperor also failed." Ringor said: "He murdered the Amethyst Queen, founded the Cult of the Stars, and conducted blood sacrifices in the hope of attracting the alien gods to come. But he failed. , the long night still descended on this world. The demon of the Night Lion broke through the fifth base and destroyed the Kingdom of Dawn. It was not until 'Azor Ahai' from all over the world sacrificed blood to his loved ones and pulled out the Lightbringer that the world welcomed the light. "

"Yes." Long Zell sighed. As he grew older, his memory of what he saw in the flames not only did not fade, but became clearer and clearer. There were even many details that he had not seen back then. , such as those eyeballs opened in the sky that eventually fell in flames and ice, light and darkness, shadows and death, such as those guys who call themselves "gods" wailing and struggling in the long night.

"After the Long Night, civilization was rebuilt. The Ghiscari Empire, the Golden Celestial Empire, the Rhoynar cities, the Highmen, and the Valyrian Free Fortress where our ancestors lived were built one after another, and people's memories still remain. Fear of the long night, but no longer remembering why it came. The Valyrians who mastered the dragon should have been the musicians who played the mortal song between ice and fire, but our ancestors committed the sin of pride , they arrogantly pursued more power, and they collapsed."

"Valyria's pursuit of 'fire' eventually detonated the Fourteenth Fire Peak, and we lost almost everything. Boy, I wonder if the Targaryens knew that prophecy. The Asshai believe that before the next long night falls, Azor Ahai will be reborn in the land of smoke and salt, accompanied by the Weeping Star, and his song is the song of ice and fire, and his coming will either save mortals from the long night and weave a new world of mortals. Song, just like the heroes who ended the long night. Or he will become an accomplice of ice and fire, leading to the long night, and finally making the world fall into silence forever, just like the Blood Stone Emperor did. Now you understand why I want to treat you. Did you say this? My son."

Ringol was very smart, and he quickly thought of his own family: "So...Father, are we the chosen family?"

Long Zell nodded: "Although I don't know what this world thinks, it is obvious that he is happy to see the development and changes of the Song of Ice and Fire, as well as the efforts of mortals to save themselves, so he will not only attract The long night will also give us gifts. Ringor, the Varese family has received these, and they must also take responsibility. You must remember these words and pass them on until the day of the dragon. This senseless fight will ultimately cost us and even the whole world. We must remember this and always remember this.”

Ronzel said seriously: "The Varese family does not tolerate division or waste. Only by uniting can we shoulder our responsibilities."

Ringol nodded solemnly.

He firmly remembered what his father said. Even though he did not have the unknowable power of his father, he still had his pride and reliance. He believed that he could fulfill his father's expectations.

It must be possible.
