It was in a dark, hot place, similar to a cave or a mine, where two hooded figures seemed to be whispering and conspiring.
Daenerys wanted to get closer, but for some reason, she felt a great threat from the slender figure among them, so Daenerys quickly stopped in her tracks.
"This is all I can do for you."
"Don't forget your promise."
The silver-haired man wearing Blackfyre confirmed repeatedly,
"No matter what happens in the future, you will not attack my family, right?"
"All men must die!"
The slender figure, completely covered by a hood, guaranteed,
"As long as your family stays away from slavery, you will naturally receive the favor of the gods."
"Thank you for everything you've done!"
"Farewell!"
After speaking, he slowly disappeared into the dark passage.
Seeing that he had gone far, the silver-haired man holding a torch also turned and left.
At this moment, the scene in Daenerys's dream changed again. This time she came to a topless tall tower, and at the highest point of the building, there was a huge sculpture of a sphinx with Dragon Wingss and a human face.
And dark sister was hanging on the wall of the room where Daenerys was currently.
"Daenerys, you really dreamed of the destruction of Valyria, didn't you?"
Hearing the movement next door, Daenerys immediately went over.
"Yes, Father!"
"Nothing in this world is immortal."
"When a flower blooms at its most splendid, it means it is about to wither. Similarly, when darkness reaches its peak, light is about to arrive."
A beautiful young girl with platinum hair and a light blue veil held a glass of golden wine and sighed as she looked at the prosperous city before her.
Just as Daenerys was about to get closer to get a better look, the girl suddenly turned around and looked towards Daenerys's position.
The moment their eyes met, Daenerys woke up from her dream with a start.
But the girl's voice seemed to travel through time and space, echoing in Daenerys's ear,
"You finally appeared, the one who will lead us home!"
Looking at the three valyrian steel swords scattered by the bed, and recalling the scattered images in her dream, Daenerys couldn't help but feel a chill.
"It seems that the destruction of Valyria was indeed a natural disaster, and perhaps there is an even bigger conspiracy hidden within it."
"What role did my family play in this matter?"
With a head full of doubts, Daenerys was somewhat distracted all morning. Even when she was by King Jaehaerys's side, she was a little absent-minded.
"Little Daenerylla, did you not sleep well last night?"
King Jaehaerys asked with concern,
"Or did you dream of something again?"
"Yes, I dreamed of some incomprehensible scenes."
Daenerys answered truthfully.
Jaehaerys gently patted Daenerys's shoulder and comforted her,
"Don't think too much about things you can't understand; time will make you understand everything!"
"Of course, time can also make you forget many things. You are still so young; you should enjoy life!"
"Daenerys, never be trapped by your dreams, and never pay too much attention to the whispers of the gods in your ear."
"Great-grandfather, I dreamed of Daenerys, the Daenerys in our family who prophesied the destruction of Valyria. She said I was the one to lead them home."
Daenerys decided to honestly tell this wise king about her experience.
And Daenerys's words indeed made this usually solemn and steady King momentarily excited,
"What?"
Jaehaerys suddenly stood up from his seat, his old and strong hands tightly gripping Daenerys's shoulders as he repeatedly confirmed.
"You're sure she told you that you are the one to lead them home."
Although her shoulders hurt from his grip, Daenerys remained calm and composed, nodding firmly,
"In the dream, she seemed to be able to see me. When our eyes met, she did say something like that."
"Does this sentence have any deeper meaning?"
Since it could make King Jaehaerys so flustered, then this sentence must have great significance. So Daenerys continued to probe and ask,
"Great-grandfather, why are you so excited?"
Daenerys's words finally made King Jaehaerys slowly regain his composure.
"It's just some ancient legends passed down by word of mouth in Ancient Valyria."
"Daenerys, the story I'm about to tell you is no secret among all the Dragonlord Family, but it must never be spread outside."
"Mm, I swear!"
King Jaehaerys resumed his inscrutable demeanor, and his eyes once again became deep and distant,
"The world only knows that Ancient Valyria rose from the Fourteen Flames of Essos, but they don't know that their bloodline actually originated from the Amethyst Empress during the era of the Great Empire of the Dawn."
"The Great Empire of the Dawn was the predecessor of today's Golden Empire of Yi Ti, with its territory extending west to the Skeleton Mountains, east to the Grey Waste, north to the Trembling Sea, and south to the Jade Sea. At that time, the Isle of Tears in the Jade Sea also belonged to the Dawn."
"The first ruler of the Great Empire of the Dawn was the God-on-Earth, who was said to be the only son of the divine Lion of Night and the Maiden-Made-of-Light. But do gods really exist in this world? When people pray devoutly, who has ever seen a true response?"
"It's all just a halo fabricated by rulers for themselves, a facade to adorn!"
"I think they are just people who have mastered some kind of powerful force!"
"Legend has it that when the God-on-Earth traveled, his palanquin was carved from a single pearl, and it was carried by his hundred queens. This ruler reigned for ten thousand years, until he ascended to the stars and reunited with his ancestors."
"Afterward, the throne passed to his eldest son, the Pearl Emperor, who reigned for a thousand years."
"Thereafter, the throne passed down through generations, from the Jade Emperor to the Tourmaline Emperor, the Onyx Emperor, the Topaz Emperor, and then to the Opal Emperor. Each emperor's reign was shorter than the last, and the situations they faced were more difficult than the last."
"Barbarians and beasts constantly pressed against the kingdom's borders, the lords became increasingly arrogant and rebellious, and the kingdom's people grew more indulgent and depraved."
"After the Opal Emperor's daughter, the Amethyst Empress, ascended the throne, her brother, consumed by jealousy, overthrew the Empress and proclaimed himself emperor, becoming the Bloodstone Emperor. From then on, the kingdom was filled with terror and slavery."
"The Bloodstone Emperor enjoyed studying dark and terrifying sorcery. He married a fierce and cruel woman, and often feasted on human flesh. Furthermore, he no longer revered the gods of Yi Land, but instead worshipped a black stone that had fallen from the sky."
"This bloody chaos that occurred in the Far East ultimately led to the Long Night: the Maiden-Made-of-Light turned away from this world, and the Lion of Night came to the world to punish humanity's debauchery and excess."
"The darkness lasted for a long time, until a great warrior, Yi Ti, stepped forward. He wielded Lightbringer and led a group of people who still had conscience into battle, and finally, light returned to the world."
"But this great empire could never rise again. The entire world fell apart, different tribes lived for themselves, full of suspicion towards other tribes. Wars, greed, murder, all of this continues to this day."
"Daenerys, just like a human life. Whether it's flowers, plants, trees, or dynasties and nations, they all have their own destinies. No matter how powerful they are, in the end, they are nothing more than a cycle of growing from weak to strong, and then from strong to decline."
"People like to see light, but they don't know that with light comes darkness. And people often like to hide in the darkness of others."
