And yet he didn't make it, for as he watched the two dragons vanish into the thunderclouds below, the only thought he had to spare was for the rider who'd almost killed him.
Aemond.
He didn't know what drove him to it, if there was a reason at all, or if it was a bout of inexplicable insanity. Whatever it was, it had him pressing himself against the saddle and seizing the reigns once more.
"Arrax!"
By the time the storm broke hours later, Borros Baratheon would receive words that would plunge the realm further into maddened chaos.
Prince Aemond and Prince Lucerys's dragons had clashed with a third, and all five had vanished into the wind with not a trace left behind.
Next chapter is an Adara POV, probably, so let's see how that goes.
As always, leave your comments and ideas and if you don't like it please be courteous.
Interesting, was he actually attempting to rescue his would be killer? Despite everything that's happened between them? I'm sorta shocked by this obviously futile and frankly suicidal spur of the moment type of selfless and heroic action. I'm sure that Aemond will surprised upon learning of his nephew's act once they both wake up from their hibernated slumber somewhere?
Well, Borros is on the deep shit list of both Blacks and Greens.
Also, Aemond, Lucerys, and their dragons definitely got frozen and kidnapped. Anyway, the stupid Targs (both the Blacks and Greens) are definitely in for rude awakening. Is this story a mix of the books and show? So, how exactly old is Adara after she and her best pal Ice woke up? Does she physically seem to be 12 or 13? Wouldn't be surprised if she later befriends Helaena or mayhaps all the kids from both factions of this dysfunctional family. Because she physically looks like a girl in an alien Jack Frost kind of way. Despite evolving into the magically powerful being that she's now become. So is this a crack fic or serious?

Lol, so you're going to be a tease, huh.Adara is about early thirteen to fifteen (haven't mentally locked her down yet, but definitely in that range), more or less, and this is a serious fic exploring more of the high magic fantasy that ASAOIF teases but never really delves into because the politics are more immediately fascinating.
As for your theories on Luke and Aemond's fates... suppose we'll see
Another of it was the sheer what-the-fuck-did-that-actually-just happen? feel he got from watching Adara's mount body check VHAGAR HERSELF.
Long ago in a distant faraway land amidst a blistering ungodly winter storm colder and harsher than any that had come before, a girl was born.
On Adara's eleventh year, a great enemy threatened the village.
Men armored and armed themselves, women barricaded themselves in their cottages with their children, and all the people prayed for salvation as an army of fire and sorcery threatened to march on their homes and raze them to naught but ash.
When the dragon came to Adara that year, she begged on behalf of people who had cursed and shunned her all her life as only a child pure of heart could beg.
"Please, help them."
And the ice dragon would never refuse its winter child, and when the army came to spill blood and char and salt the land, they instead met dragon breath so cold it burned, and all were broken beneath winter's fury.
When he gasped awake and opened his eye, moments or days or even years later, he didn't have the wits to now, he found himself heaving on the same hard ground as before.
His body was stronger. His strength returned, at least in part, and the chill that had all but crippled him was gone.
But it meant nothing then, for when he looked up, he found Lucerys Velaryon standing over him, eyes wide frenzied, face mottled in fury and black frostbite burns, with a heavy rock held high above him in a furious, two-handed grip.
On instinct alone, Aemond moved-
And the rock came down.
"Have him on his feet by the time I return, Green One, or I'll drag him if I have to."
And then she was gone.
Aemond made to cry out, to rage against this final, humiliating dismissal, but he'd regained no strength in the moments past, and blackness was overtaking him even before unknown hands seized him and dragged him further into the dark.
The last thing he saw was a pair of yellow eyes, set into brown, leathery skin, and he slipped into oblivion even as his mouth course hands pried his mouth open and poured broth and something altogether darker down his throat.
When Aemond slept, he dreamt as he never had before.
He saw a silver-haired and violet-eyed man in a shirt of black scale wearing a familiar crown of Valyrian steel and studded rubies. In one hand, he held Blackfyre, and in the other, he pointed North, behind Aemond.
"From my blood come the Prince Who Was Promised, and his shall be the Song of Ice and Fire."
He was dark of hair and grey-eyed, dressed in boiled leathers and a fur cloak of purest black. A pale scar dragged across the length of his left eye, but the eye itself was undamaged, and both were fixed on Aemond with a burning intensity.
"My song is undone. I am no more" The stranger smiled, an aching, foreboding relief in his eyes. "It is your burden to bear now, oh would-be kinslayer. You and your will stand strong, or you'll not stand at all when the darkness rides down from the north and claims you all."
He turned around and walked into the snowstorm, his figure vanishing into the darkness beyond.
"Be ready."
Without warning, her expression darkened with a burst of infinitesimal wrath.
It robbed Aemond of his own just as swiftly.
"You will not fault Frostsinger in my presence."
There was a cold, stilted pause. Her eyes were lit up in her anger and the air itself seemed to quiver and shy away from her.
"It was his own fault. That he dove after one who was undeserving of it was his own error" Her eyes flickered to Aemond, just as dismissive, and back again. "Frostsinger is not to blame for reckless stupidity."
"Foolish." the voice agreed. "Or brave, perhaps."
"They're one and the same, and just as costly." Her voice tinted with something else Aemond recognized despite himself, an old, old, bitterness that he'd lived and breathed for years and still did to this day. "I would know."
The Targs will definitely be having many revelations centred on just what kind of a infested continent they now reign over and how it's all connected to them. Adara's not going to have much patience for them, and we'll see that next chapter.
As for the Three eyed raven - Spoilers. We'll see, there might be some cool stuff happening next chapter.
Maybe.
Perhaps.
Who knows?
XD
Of all the queer and fabulous denizens of the Shivering Sea, however, the greatest are the ice dragons. These colossal beasts, many times larger than the dragons of Valyria, are said to be made of living ice, with eyes of pale blue crystal and vast translucent wings through which the moon and stars can be glimpsed as they wheel across the sky. Whereas common dragons (if any dragon can truly be said to be common) breathe flame, ice dragons supposedly breathe cold, a chill so terrible that it can freeze a man solid in half a heartbeat.
Sailors from half a hundred nations have glimpsed these great beasts over the centuries, so mayhaps there is some truth behind the tales. Archmaester Margate has suggested that many legends of the north—freezing mists, ice ships, Cannibal Bay, and the like—can be explained as distorted reports of ice-dragon activity. Though an amusing notion, and not without a certain elegance, this remains the purest conjecture. As ice dragons supposedly melt when slain, no actual proof of their existence has ever been found. —TWOIAF, Beyond the Free Cities: The Shivering Sea

Is it canon that the First Men mated with the Children of the Forest?
Answer (1 of 2): I won’t say it’s 100% “canon” in the sense that GRRM has written it explicitly, but I think it’s true in a “read between the lines and connect the dots” sense. A couple of points: * We know from the books that greenseers were/are Children of the Forest themselves at one point ...www.quora.comA Song of Vaginal Warg-Blocking | The Last Hearth
@mojo and others will be shocked to learn that I recently decided to reread A Game of Thrones from the Beginning for the n'th time. Anyway, I have also been using the World Book to help with mythelasthearth.freeforums.net
P.S. And that's all I have for now.
When the ice dragon returned for the final time, it was to a girl half dead and buried in the snow, delirious from pain and cradling the side where the betrayer's knife had slid into her flesh on the eve of her name day celebration.
And the dragon, who had grown strong and mighty and wrathful beyond comprehension raged, and the village and the villagers who had orchestrated this wailed and fled and died as winter fell upon them from above and laid waste to all they were and ever would be.
Hopelessly unaware of the darkness that had been awakened far too early, and the Long Night that would soon come to claim them all.
This is some awesome stuff - I'll be using it. I've been working on the next chapter and it's nearing completion, so expect it soon!
These Asshai'i histories say that a people so ancient they had no name first tamed dragons in the Shadow and brought them to Valyria, teaching the Valyrians their arts before departing from the annals.
— TWoIaF - Ancient History: The Rise of Valyria
"Dragon's eggs, from the Shadow Lands beyond Asshai," said Magister Illyrio.
— Daenerys II, AGOT
Ghosts lined the hallway, dressed in the faded raiment of kings. In their hands were swords of pale fire. They had hair of silver and hair of gold and hair of platinum white, and their eyes were opal and amethyst, tourmaline and jade.
— Daenerys IX, AGOT
He lifted his eyes and saw clear across the narrow sea, to the Free Cities and the green Dothraki sea and beyond, to Vaes Dothrak under its mountain, to the fabled lands of the Jade Sea, to Asshai by the Shadow, where dragons stirred beneath the sunrise. — Bran III, AGOT
Thanks, basically the Valyrians weren't really the first dragonriders (I can imagine the reactions on that entitled prick Daemon's face when he hears that vital piece of info. Lol). Judging by hints that are in some of the visions and dreams both Bran and Dany had received in the books. Which the showrunners chosen to omit from the series. All the dragons originally came from the Shadow. It is also hinted that whatever race that lived in the Shadow Lands near Asshai (this world's version of Babylon which may've been the capital of the Dawn Empire or at least one of its provinces and its god emperors might've actually been the first dragonlords in that era and maybe the Valyrians' ancestors) taught the Valyrians, who're originally shepherds, how to magically bind and tame their dragons before they faded from memory. There are likely no records of non-Valyrians ever riding dragons in Westeros because of the Andals and their disdain for magic. As well as the wars that were being constantly fought between newborn empires and kingdoms across the Known World after the downfall of the Dawn Empire. Whatever records are left probably still exist in the North or foreign countries like Yi-Ti (the ancient Empire of the Dawn's successors) and Asshai.
P.S. I already know that Targaryens only ruled six of the Seven Kingdoms during the HOTD era. Dorne might probably join the fold after Adara and her allies convinces them to join Westeros's fight against the Others.
P.S.S. Have you seen the new Planet of the Apes movie? It's pretty good.
Great Empire of the Dawn
The Great Empire of the Dawn was a mythic realm established on all the land between the Bones and the Grey Waste, from the Shivering Sea to the Jade Sea and including the isle of Leng, and the predecessor to the Golden Empire of Yi Ti.awoiaf.westeros.orghistory – Page 3 – Atlas of Ice and Fire

I have not watched the planet of the apes movie, a mistake I will rectify after posting the next chapter. The origins of dragonriders will be hinted at and discussed in time, but not too soon or too quickly otherwise poor Daemon might have a conniption and explode from sheer stress, and as much of an ass as he is he's basically the number 1 fire breathing dragon rider in town and that makes him a valuable commodity in the war to come

So, yes. I get why it's necessary to keep him alive (for now). Another reason why I feel utter contempt and disgust towards Lord Fleabottom. Is the fact that he never tried to foster and build a relationship with Alicent's kids because he sees them as the grandchildren and pawns of his despised nemesis. Not 'real Targaryens'. Which is hypocritical considering Rhaenyra and the Strong boys aren't full-blooded Valyrians either. Just mere obstacles to his goal of having his blood seated on the throne. He's really no different from Otto. Both of them lack humility and compassion for anyone who isn't them and their families. Cannot seem to see beyond their own desires and prejudices. I always pitied the Green Targaryens because Viserys was both an inept ruler and a terrible father to them. And Rhaenyra was a selfish and entitled bitch and Daemon discriminate against the four of them due to their blood relation to Otto. He truly could had bridge the divide between the two factions of the House if he wanted to. I can't count the number of times that I had kept rolling my eyes and shaking my head at Viserys' really illogical and obvious favoritism over his firstborn because she's all that remained of his first wife which I found sad, pathetic and really dumb. Since, any monarch or leader with the kind of power he wielded is supposed to rationally make decisions based on his head not his heart. And as a role model and parent. You aren't supposed to be neglectful or play favorites.
While the Earthsingers called the Isle of Faces home, it was the green men who were its wardens, and those who dwelt on the isle's surface had never once called on her or revealed themselves to her save for whenever she caught a stray glimpse of one of them of her own accord and she was glad for it.
Whether the green men still survive on their isle is not clear although there is the occasional account of some foolhardy young riverlord taking a boat to the isle and catching site of them before winds wise up or a flock of ravens drives him away. The nursery tales claiming that they are horned and have dark, green skin is a corruption of the likely truth, which is that the green men wore green garments and horned headdresses.

"Not them." The raven croaked. "Not them, no good. One is too soft, and the other is of too much iron, brittle and unwieldy."
She had to stop the threat. She had to protect Frostsinger. He was all she ever had then and all had left now.
"Both will have their part to play, but they alone will not be the fire to your ice."
"Then who is?"
"You will know in time. You must. The Dragons will dance as one or not at all."
