108 AC
Valyrian Freehold
Damien POV:
I have been in the valyrian freehold for a week now and I've finished searching the place, I've found seven armours, fourteen swords, five axes, six spears all made of valyrian steel and various jewels and a shit ton of gold.
I found four intact dragon eggs. I found six books on blood magic and pyromancy, the rest were on the culture, traditions and things like that, not really what I need.
The valyrians truly were mad people, every spell on blood magic requires live sacrifices, they used to kill slaves in the tens for a single blood spell or ritual.
I even found the spell to create valyrian steel, it is ritual magic combining blood and pyromancy spells, but it was also very dangerous because it required the caster to shape dragon flames in order for the metal to become magical.
A pyromancer can't shape any dragon's flame only a rider can shape their own dragons flame which is great news.
I put everything in the inventory and I guess now it's time to destroy that nest of firewrms.
I now know almost every magic in this world except shadow binding, prophetic and illusion magic.
I'm not interested in prophetic magic because I have greensight and dragon dreams, I guess my new destinations are Asshai and Qarth.
Pyat Pree from the house of undying showed some impressive magic in the TV show, teleportation, illusion, duplication and even Conjuration when he put chains on Daenerys.
I'll also see some places along the way before I have to get home for my promised visit and to also ask mother what she thinks about me and Laena.
Plus I also have to talk to the Corlys and Rhaenys about it. The war should be ending right about now.

3rd POV:
In a immense lava cave illuminated by the volcanic flames looking as if it were bathed in starlight, it would be a beautiful sight if it weren't for the horrific inhabitants.
In the cave you can see nearly a hundred firewyrms laying around coiling around each other.
It would be a scary and disgusting thing to see for just about anyone.
Fortunately Damien isn't just anyone, he is most probably the strongest human alive since the dawn age and a great hunter.
Damien enters slowly through the cave with silent footsteps while holding two swords and a shield floating at his back as he makes no attempt to hide.
He could have entered stealthily but he decide on this approach.
"Hey, you know you guys remind me of a story about how snakes used to be before they were cursed by god, I believe god's words were " You will crawl on your belly and eat dust all the days of your life. Cursed be you above all livestock and all wild animals.", so basically you're just overgrown snakes with legs, so there's nothing to be afraid of". Damien says hyping himself up.
The firewyyrms look up at the tiny human interrupting their leisure time and intruding in the nest and they all start hissing at him, one snake that looks about 30 meters hisses louder than all of them and the others stop.
"I presume you're the queen, I think I'll mount your corpse at Runestone, mother will love it she is hunter herself after all". Damien says to himself not at all intimidated by the sight of this huge firewyyrm or it's army.
"You know I have had magic for a while now but I couldn't exactly use it, with how people are in westeros, you will be good test subjects". He says with a huge smile on his face at the prospect of finally seeing what he can do with his recreated spells and from tvd.
He stabs his swords in the ground and looks at the snakes, 'since god isn't here you can settle for me making you crawl on your bellies'. He thinks with a bloodthirsty smile on his face.
'Let's see what should I start with, hmm let go with fire magic first'. He thinks.
"Phasmatos incedia". A fire ball appears in his hand and he throws it the mouth of the closet firewyrm, it explodes in it's mouth and it falls on the ground dead. "Nice". He exclaims excited.
The firewyyrms at the front lines open their mouths and shoot fire at him. "Phasmatos motus incedius". He uses a fire manipulation spell and controls all the fire heading towards him, he forms a tornado with it and then creates a wave of fire he sends backs to the firewyyrms. "Back to sender". He says still all smiles.
The ones at the front start screaming and dying and those at the back slowly move back from the fire. The fire slowly dies down. 'So they are not fireproof'. He thinks with some confusion on his face.
'Doesnt matter, now I have to make sure they don't try to escape'. He thinks.
He picks up Excalibur and makes a small cut on his palm and starts chanting a barrier spell he remembers Bonnie doing.
"Phasmatos Veras nos ex malom. Terra mora vantis quo incadis per casa quo erum signos". He says as barrier covers all the exits of the lava cave.
The firewyyrms don't realise they're trapped just yet as they starts breathing fire on him again. "Suctus Incendiary". He does a minor fire extingushing spell and the fires in the firewyyrms mouths die out.
He decides to try a final fire spell, a combustion spell. "Bruciare sepe terram, faciendo Ignis ga premium". He says and about twenty firewyyrms catch fire and start screaming and rolling on the ground as they go through their death throes.
He decides he is done with fire spells and it is time to try something else. "Deja fou". He uses the insanity hex as three firewyyrms start going crazy and start attacking the others.
Now usually this spell requires direct contact and it takes time for the insanity to set in, but in this case he used his blood to circumvent the distance and since beasts have lower intelligence than humans it took hold instantly.
The three firewyyrms take down a dozen firewyyrms before they are put down, now there are less than half of the first hundred or so left and they finally try to escape only to crash on invisible barriers on the exists.
Damien watches this with a pleased smile on his face and he starts laughing somewhat maniacally. "Hahahah"
The firewyyrms refocus their attention back on him at his laugh and the queen hisses something to her subordinates, as the firewyyrms start going after him again.
Seeing this he stops laughing but he still has a smile on his face.
"Phasmatos incendere as pulvox". He uses a death induction spell and the ten or so firewyyrms who were running towards him start sputtering blood from their mouths and their eyes become blood shot and they start screaming as they die.
'This spell draws power from a nearby source of fire like a candle to boil a target's blood causing aneurysm, but a volcano apparently works better'. He thinks with a certain amount of glee in his thoughts.
"Time for a different element". He says as he puts his non bloody hand on his chin as he thinks of an appropriate spell.
By now the firewyyrms are scared shitless, they don't want to approach and they are scurrying away from him.
"I got it let's try this one, after all I did promise to make you crawl on your bellies, per se qui e fracta toi, per se qui e total toi". He says and uses the maiming curse, it cripples the hands of victims and produces a ring of fire around them.
The sounds of bones breaking echoes in the cave as the remaining firewyyrms start screaming and round of fire surrounds Damien in with them.
" This has been productive and educational, it's time to put you out of your miseries". He says in a happy tone.
" Tenebris anima vestra contundito mortemn et conteret spiritum. Frange vitum nolite corde ut sub terra esse, ad tenebras usque in septiternum". He uses a death spell, a black magic spell that induces death upon the caster's chosen target.
He leaves only three alive, because he has one more spell to test, wants to sell one corpse for fame and fortune and he wants to mount the firewyyrm queen corpse at Runestone, so the one he's selling and the queen should die by the sword not magic.
"Fiate Fulguris". He says and he points his bloody hand at one of the firewyyrms and lightning shoots out from his hands.
"Ultimate power". He screams gleefully. Originally this spell created a localised lightning strike but he tweaked it to look like palpatine.
The firewyyrm finally dies and he looks at the last two firewyyrms who are in too much pain to even think about ambushing him while he has his fantasy moment.
"Asinta Mulaf Hinto, Sho Bala". He uses a healing spell on his hand and then uses telekinesis to bring his swords back to his hands.
He walks up to the last two firewyyrms and holds them down with telekinesis and thrusts the swords in the heads.
He then starts making cuts all over the bodies to simulate a drawn out fight. He then uses a healing spell to restore their broken legs and uses telekinesis to haul the corpses out the cave.
"Phasmatos Tribum, Melan Veras, Et Casa Quisa, Exu Quisa". He unseals the barriers and starts heading to where he left Erebus and Fenrir.
'I should head home soon and hand off my loot to mother and Samwell maybe have her hold an auction to sell all the surplus valyrian steel and the preserved bodies of whatever else I might find on my journey'. He thinks as he leaves the lava cave.
...
Qarth
A week later
Damien POV:
It has been a week since my exploration in valyria, I am in Qarth to learn the magic of the house of the undying.
I don't know if they will teach me or if I will have to steal their magic, but even if they do teach me stealing with my telepathy would be faster.
It's decided then stealing it is.
3rd POV:
A big black dragon lands near a giant and grey stoned ruin which stands with no other buildings nearby. The ruin or tower has no visible openings and no windows.
Damien gets off the dragon still wearing his assassin's creed robes but this time he's only wielding Excalibur and the vibranium shield on his back.
"House of undying I've come to bargain". Damien says shouting while walking towards the ruin with seemly no entrance.
Suddenly a man seems to appear out of nowhere. The man is thin almost looks sick, he has blue lips and looks unnerving.
'Not Pyat Pree, someone else'. He thinks while assessing the man.
"My name is Damien Royce of house Targaryen, I would like to buy some vials of the shade of evening, how much would that be?". He says while stalling for time and rummaging through the Mage's head learning everything he knows about magic.
The man suddenly looks wary at Damien, his instincts are telling him something is amiss but he can't detect what it is. "Not for sale, dragonrider, it's best if you leave Qarth and never come back". The man says briskly because of his intuition.
You can never underestimate a person who has made so far in life in such a dangerous world, his danger sense is highly developed.
'If I lower his hostility or do anything else he will only get more suspicious and will probably try to fight me, maybe even to death. Well there's no need I have what I need. He thinks as he nods to the warlock.
"Understood warlock". Damien then starts walking back to his dragon and starts climbing the wing and he takes off.
"Very strange man, and very powerful magic". The warlock says with some relief in his tone as the man unsettled him.
...
A moon later
Shadowlands
Ashhai
Damien POV:
It's been a moon since Qarth and I've passed through Yi Ti and Leng, they are probably how Asia would look on earth and I collected some cool stuff.
It was also very easy to learn shadowbinding, I honestly wasn't interested at first because what Melisande did with it in the show seemed weak but it turns out you don't need to have sex and then give birth to a shadow baby to to use shadowbinding.
It's uses are in the name it allows you the ability to bind shadows.
Anyway it's time I head home, to get some rest and to get that auction plan moving plus I have to talk to Laena's parents and my mother about betrothing Laena.
