Rebirth in Ash and Fire
The stench of sulfur burned his lungs. The ground trembled beneath him like a living beast. His eyes snapped open.

He was not in a hospital. Not in his apartment. Not even on Earth.

Instead, he lay naked upon cracked obsidian, glowing faintly from within. Above him stretched a blood-red sky, torn with smoke

true dragon of valiria

The city of Volantis throbbed with tension, every street a potential battlefield, every whispered word a threat. Kaerys stood atop the high tower overlooking the bustling harbor, her gaze hard as the Valyrian steel at her hip. The horizon was painted with the first hints of dawn, but to her, it was the calm before the storm.

"Neron," she said without turning, "how many loyalists can we count on if the Targaron heir marches on the city?"

He stepped beside her, his voice low and steady. "Enough to hold the gates — if they don't break under pressure. But the real danger is from within. Traitors still lurk in our midst, waiting to strike."

Kaerys's hand rested on her longsword's hilt, fingers curling around the familiar leather grip. "Then it's time we remind them why dragons do not bend."

Inside the war room, maps and reports littered the heavy oak table. Advisors debated strategies, their voices a mix of fear and determination. Kaerys's eyes narrowed, cutting through the noise.

"We will strike at dawn. Serenthis will be unleashed to break their lines. The rest of us will move swiftly—no quarter given."

Her command was absolute. The room fell silent, the weight of her words sinking in.

Later, as night fell, Kaerys trained in the courtyard. The rhythmic clang of steel on steel echoed as she practiced the new moves granted by Dragon's Wrath, each strike glowing faintly with the fire magic coursing through her veins.

Jaro watched silently, a rare smile touching his lips. "You're becoming a legend."

Kaerys's eyes gleamed. "Legends are forged in fire and blood. I intend to carve my name into the annals of Valyria."

The night deepened, the city held its breath, and the battle for Volantis drew near.
