The Vale

Runestone

Damien POV:

It's been nearly 10 moons since I've back to Runestone, I'm now 9 namedays and I'm turning ten in a few moons since my namedays is on the last moon of the year. Last year has been an interesting year, my father was banished, Rhaenyra was named heir, I have 7 maester chains, I have a follower now Sam, mysaria lost the baby while she was travelling so unfortunately no sibling, masters do have a plot against house Targaryen, my parents are officially divorced, and Erebus is now the size of Vermithor the bronze fury. Now onto the new year I chose a new essence:

. Essence of the archmage

*infinite magical power-limitless mana, supreme mana control.

* Arcane resevoir- Draw on the collective magic of the universe, power of realms & dimensions.

* Mastery of all schools of magic in existence.

* Arcane mastermind- magic: understanding of magic is absolute, can learn any spell no matter how advanced or improbable it is.

* Spell creation

I've finally decided to take magic seriously, I'm planning on using astral projection, the glass candle and greensight to learn every magic I can get my mind on. I got some interesting templates, this is my status now:

"Where other men blindly follow the truth, remember...

Nothing is true.

Where other men are limited by their morality or law, remember...

Everything is permitted.

We work in the darkness to serve the light.

I am an Assassin". Ezio Auditore, arguably the best assassin in assassin's creed. Yoriichi the man who put so much fear in muzan that the fear transmitted through his blood to other demons, the man gave the king of demons PTSD need I say more. Now I finally have a real breathing technique not that cobbled up thing I used intuitive aptitude to create, I have hinokami kagura. I've also learned all the spells in Emily Bennett's grimoire from there I recreated some spells I remember from that universe, I know have like 20 spells in my arsenal, pain infliction, pain reduction, healing, paralysis, preservation, blood gathering, blood tracking, metamorphosis, corruption detection, substance concentration, sleeping beauty & reversal, confirmation, liquid gathering, lineage, ailment resistance, heartbeat control, strength augmentation, pigmentation, echolocation, blood weapon creation spells. Plus with the essence I no longer even need incantations or gestures, 'yer a wizard Damien'. Heh. I chuckle a little at that image of hagrid. That's all the update on my abilities. On to my activities.

I've decided to open a business, I took orphans below 12 namedays from kingslanding, the Reach and here in the Vale, I run a business empire with my mother and uncle Yorbert's help. My business is in scented soaps, paper, perfumes and I have deal with the north to sell ice, I plan to partner with the snake for his essosi connections after his war in the stepstones. I'm also planning to bring the mountain men to heel, either destroy them for good or they bend the knee. I also had my first kill, a kid from kingslanding who was planning to sell my soap recipes to some merchant, had to take his head, the firstmen way, he who passes the sentence should swing the sword. I'm not scared of betrayals because I have a spy network, I can warg into an infinite number of animals thanks to my essence of the brain giving me an infinite number of trains of thought. I'm the new a thousand eyes and one. Anyway onto my campaign to rid the vale of mountain men.

3rd POV:

On a road in the mountains we can see bronze armoured knights numbering in the hundreds on their horses, at the front of this army is a silver haired boy who looks to be about 12 or 13 namedays old with a black and red armour with bronze runes on it with two swords at his hips. Although he looks young none of the man are underestimating him. "Shields up they're here". After his words ring out the men unsheathntheir weapons and get ready showing this isn't the first time they've done this. "Arghhhh". Suddenly men and women with savage expressions come out the mountains screaming, they're armed with crude armour and weapons. "Shield wall". Damien screams and knights with huge Shields form a circle around the group of knights while those in the circle prepare for the charge.

The mountain charge into the bronze knights but their charge is stopped. "Break". Damien screams and small gaps are opened in the shield wall and spears are thrust into the group of mountain man, they start dying in droves due to the formations and armour of the bronze knights. Damien starts looking around and spots a man shouting orders at the remaining nearly 300 of 500 men they attacked with. "You you're the magnar of this tribe?". Damien asks the man and the fighting slows down considerably as the man looks at Damien. "Aye boy I am, and you must be the demon dragon?". The man nearly snarls as he says this. "Officially it's the young dragon only you call me that, but I like it". Damien shrugs in a light-hearted tone, but suddenly he starts looking serious at the man and says. "Look I don't particularly enjoy this but your people have been a blight to our people, so how about we reduce the bodies on this field, single combat you and me I win you bend the knee you win we leave you alone, what do you say?". Damien says with a hopeful look because he really doesn't enjoy killing, especially with his modern mind. He can do it and it has no adverse effects on him, he just doesn't like it. "No, to the death boy or nothing else". The man says. Damien unsheathes his twin swords with a sigh. "As you wish". The shield wall opens and he walks to the leader, the mountain men also clear a circle for the duel. "Arghhhh". The mountain leader charges at Damien.

Damien sighs and he stabs his swords in the ground and charges too. The mountain men look surprised and then start smiling at his arrogance. The bronze knights see this and give them looks of pity. The mountain men swings his axe at Damien's head, he dodges under the swing, slips in his guard hits the joint of the arm holding the axe, it slips he grabs it and does a fancy spin and lops of the mountain men's head. Dead silence, every mountain men is silent looking at the exchange that lasted nearly 5 seconds and they still can't believe their eyes. Suddenly Damien's voice rings out in the quiet field. "Drop your weapons or die, your choice". The mountain men exchange looks and drop their weapons, all except 12 men looking at Damien like dead meat. The 12 men all charge at him, the bronze knights look at this and exchange looks like waiting for a show to happen.

Damien sighs as he looks at the 12 men charging him. With a bored look Damien throws the axe he's holding at the leading man, it decapitates him and also gets stuck in the chest of a man behind him, 2 down 10 to go. He charges and blades come out of his wrist. The first man he gets to gets a blade in his head and goes down on one knee, Damien uses the knee as springboard and does backflip to dodge two men at his back thrusting their swords at his back. He lands behind the two men and saltabs the back of their necks, 3 down seven to go. The other seven pause a little, he suddenly charges at 3 in a group and retracts his hidden blades. He reaches them and one of them steps back in fear as the other two swing at him, he ducks and goes on his hands in capoera kick that hits one in his sword hand to stab his friend and while he's still dazed Damien grabs the dead guy's sword and decapitates the other one and then he throws the sword to kill the one who took a step back. 3 down 4 to go, but the last 4 drop their swords. He doesn't seem to care as he charges at them and kills them with his hidden blades. This sounds like a long ass fight but it's barely been two minutes. The rest of the mountain men start trembling in fear and suddenly understand why other survivors started calling him the demon dragon, shit he doesn't even have a drop of blood on him.

"Anyone else?". Damien asks as he sweeps his eyes across the mountain men but all who meet his eyes looks down, one of them kneels and others start following suit. "Good". He says as he walks to his swords and sheathes them at his hips. "Rob round them up, you know the drill". Damien says to his second in command. "Yes my prince, and glorious as always my prince". Rob says to Damien and he cracks a smile at him. Damien shakes his head and gives an exasperated smile in return.

"Only one more tribe and the campaign is done, you will all be remembered for generations to come, the bronze order that put an end to the wilding raids. After this campaign is done whores and wine are on me for a moon". Damien says to his men. "The young dragon". The horny idiots cheer at their commander's words. Damien smiles at them. "Back to Runestone".

Rhea POV:

I'm still finishing my work when I hear a knock on the door. "Enter". I say and see maester wyles come in. "The prince is back my lady". He says with a smile on his face and I myself echoing it. "Good, have the maids drawn him a bath". I say to him as he soon leaves the solar.

Haa I sigh at the passage of time and how it changes, I remember I used to be angry at Daemon for his seed taking root and now I hate him a little less for the miracle he has given me. My son the youngest knight ever, rider of the third biggest dragon of house Targaryen, a holder of 7 citadel chains and a successful merchant. The coffers of house Royce have never been this full before and it's only going to get better as gets more workers and these workers become better at their jobs.

A genius, that is how you would describe him. My smile vanishes as I think of something, lately he's been avoiding me and looks guilty everytime he looks at me, I should talk to him about it. I should also talk to him about his betrothal options. We'll talk at supper, let me finish this work. I think as I rub my sore shoulders.

3rd POV:

At a fancy dinner table filled with exquisite looking food we can see Rhea and her son Daemon eating when rhea looks at Damien. "Damien there's been something that has been bothering you lately what is it?". Rhea asks bluntly as she looks at Damien inquisitively. Daemon suddenly stiffens and puts his cutlery down and looks at his mother with a grimace. "That obvious?". He asks and receives a look of amusement as an answer from his mother. He takes a depp breath and says what he has been wanting to say for a while. "After my tenth namedays I was planning on travelling the world, to see the world, map it and learn about it and to learn magic, by that time I would have already dealt with the last mountain clan". He says in one breath. He mother stiffens and looks at him. "Leave, magic. Damien magic is dangerous and seeing the world could take years". Rhea says with tears in her eyes. "I'll come every year for 3 moons and I have magic which is why I want to learn more about it". He says with a grimacing tone. "You have magic and never told me?". She says with a hurt tone. "I wanted to learn more first which is why I went to the citadel, it turns I'm greener and a dreamer, I can slip into the minds of animals, see the past present and future or at least that's what the books say, but I haven't tried it yet because magic is dangerous. I want to travel to find people who know more than me". He says with sad smile. Rhea looks shocked. "Greenseer, warg, I've heard the stories but I never believed them. Haa I hope you keep your word and come visit every year. Okay?". Rhea says with sad understanding smile. "Thank you mother". They continue their dinner in easy conversation.

108 AC

Damien POV:

I've finally done it, destroyed the mountain clans and inducted them into Runestone. I'm now 10 namedays old since a few weeks ago and since it's a new year I get to choose something, this time I chose elder blood, power over time and space, at first I was going to choose Hiro's power but I've never seen him go to another world so i don't know if his power can do that. I also got 2 new templates, Edward Elric from fullmetal alechemist: brotherhood and Storm Shadow from G.I Joe and few miscellaneous items. Anyway time to go explore the world, I'll start with the lands beyond the wall to meet the children of the forest and learn from them, then essos, valyrian and beyond.

I've already said my goodbyes to mother, Samwell and I sent a letter to kingslanding. I'll go meet father at the stepstones before I leave.
