House of The Dragon-A God Amongst Men

(Drakken's POV)

"Hey, you." I heard someone call me as I walked down the alleyway, "You lost?"

I was eating a piece of bread when I got lost in the shithole that I overheard someone call Fleabottom. Very fitting name, I'll tell you that much. This place was likely the source of the rancid stench that spread throughout the land.

King's Landing, they call this place? Not a fitting place for Royalty. I wonder if the King is constantly holed up in his little castle with nothing but lavender incense to make sure the smell of shit doesn't penetrate his walls. Who knows? Maybe its worse up there.

I stopped and looked behind me, seeing some men that were wearinf tattered rags. One of them was large and burly, giving me the stink-eye.

I blinked and said nothing as I chewed on the hard piece of bread. Something as bland as that was significantly better than the meat they serve up in this place. I mean, seriously, I should probably go about and search for some spices somewhere. Nothing but shit in this world when it comes to food.

The men walked up to me, "Where'd ya get this fancy getup?" He said, "I think it fits me."

"You deaf?" The big one said, "Did you not hear me? You lost?"

I looked at him, "I heard you." I said, "I'm just wondering why you're speaking to me."

"Hand over the coat before you get lost." He said with a scowl

"Nah." I said with a shrug

He pulled out a knife, it looked dull.

"I wasn't asking." He said

"Nah." I repeated

"Alright, I guess Ill rip it out of yer dead body!!" He shouted

He swung the knife at me but before his arm reached me, it was gone; replaced by splatters of blood that hit him in the face as some pieces of meat and bone dropped to the ground.

"A-aaghhhh!" He shouted in pain as he stumbled

"Oops." I said as I bit a piece off the bread, "Did you lose a finger?"

He looked at me with his eyes full of fear, his companions did the same as they froze completely.

I chewed on the piece of bread as he collapsed to the ground, blood pouring out of the stump that I left him. Tears were filling his eyes as I took a step forward.

"Something the matter?" I asked as I chewed, "Does it hurt?"

He looked at me, his face pale, "Y-Yes…"

"Good." I said, "It's supposed to."

Suddenly, his entire upper body was shredded completely by my Cutting Sorcery within the span of a second. Blood and bone was all that remained; I had shredded most of his body into tiny little pieces.

It was impressive, how much power I gained by siphoning the magic out of the dragons and judging by how I can sense them again, they can recover that power. A perfect farm, this place could be.

My cutting sorcery is to the point where I can just will it and it will cut into the flesh of these frail humans like nothing.

"N-No!" One of the others cried out, "What just happened?!"

I looked at them, they were pressed against the wall of the building out of pure fear. I noticed a faint smell that I immediately recognized; Piss.

I tossed the last piece of bread into my mouth, "You pissed yourselves?" I asked with a raised eyebrow, "Wow. Well, it happens."

I waved my hand and watched as their entire bodies were shredded against the wall, the entirety of the building soon followed as dust and debris began to fly out. It happened so fast that even I was surprised, the structural integrity was so weak that a simple shredding technique was able to collapse the entire thing.

"Oof." I said as I began to walk away and towards the street, "That'll bring attention."

*********

About an hour later, there were dozens of guards and soldiers gathered on the site where I destroyed the building by accident. They were pulling people out of the rubble who were able to survive.

I was on the roof of another building, leaning against the railing and wondered if I should play around.

"How many heads can I cut off until they realize I am here?" I said, "I give it ten."

There was constant shouting and yelling, hearing some armored men constantly demand to know what happened. Despite accidentally causing this, I found it quite amusing. Such chaos, the thrill it brought me, especially since my power is growing.

"Hm…I obviously have to wait for the dragons to recover their strength." i said, "What should I do in the meantime?"

I leaned my head against my arm as I noticed a specific horse riding down the street. A familiar glint of white hair caught my eye.

"Ah." I said with a smirk, "The Prince."

I saw as the Prince dismounted and walked towards the rubble. I saw as he began to talk to the guards and from what his lips displayed, he was merely asking what they knew about the situation.

My guess is that they have been looking for me for quite a while and this sudden incident would bring them closer to me.

Such a fun game we are playing.

I sighed, "Boredom."

I sensed an unusual hint of magic coming from the Prince, a bit higher than before. That was quite interesting and it piqued my curiosity.

"How is this possible? It's only been what? A week since we saw each other? A bit less…." I said, "How is his little amount of magic more potent….interesting…..Could it be some sort of biological or chemical response to something he did? Drugs?"

It wasn't unusual for someone's Ether to suddenly spike up in my world. I just find it surprising that it was possible here to. But what I sense from him is Blood Magic, ingrained in him as a genetic trait. So it is quite different than just Ether like someone from Infernis.

Something must have happened to trigger some sort of potency in his blood. I wonder what it could have been.

"Intriguing…." i said with a raised eyebrow

I then saw as the Prince looked to the side and widened his eyes in surprise. He then ran past the guards and towards what looked like some sort of Lady. She wore a yellow and black dress and looked to be around his age.

"Oh?" I said, "A girl?"

She was stunning; had black hair and dark eyes and from what I could make out, quite the nice and curvaceous body. Her skin was fair and beautiful and her lush hair was long enough to reach her waist.

The Prince held her by the hands, telling her something. I assume that he does not want her there because it could he dangerous.

I placed my hand on my chin, "Hmm….could it be his woman?" I asked myself, "Ah….wait a minute….I see now…it's a hormonal response, the sudden rise of his magic."

If having sex caused some spike in the magic in his blood….

A scheme started in my mind.

I felt a smirk creep on my face, "Ohoho…." I said,

"This is going to be interesting…."
