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 night air was thick with salt and anticipation as Kaerys stood aboard the flagship Ember's Vengeance, the dragon egg secured beneath the deck. The sea stretched endlessly, black and restless, lit only by the faint glow of lanterns and the shimmering stars above.

Her eyes scanned the horizon where the enemy fleet loomed — dark silhouettes cutting through the waves, their banners fluttering defiantly.

"Ready the archers!" Kaerys commanded, her voice steady but fierce. "Serenthis, prepare to take flight on my signal."

Neron approached, his face shadowed with concern. "They outnumber us, and their ships are swift. If they reach the island first, the dragon eggs are lost."

Kaerys's gaze hardened. "Then we will make sure they never do."

The battle erupted in a frenzy of steel, fire, and sea spray. Arrows rained down, their tips glowing with emberfire, as enemy ships closed in.

Kaerys leapt onto the deck, her sword flashing in the moonlight. Each strike was precise, fueled by the Arcain enhancements that sharpened her speed and strength.

Serenthis roared overhead, flames trailing like a comet, raining destruction onto the enemy fleet. The sky was alight with fire and smoke.

Amidst the chaos, Kaerys spotted a rival captain attempting to board their ship. With a surge of adrenaline, she met him blade to blade, their clash echoing over the roar of battle.

By dawn, the enemy fleet was scattered and broken, their ambitions in ruins. Yet victory came at a price — several ships were lost, and among the wounded was Neron, clutching his side with grim determination.

Kaerys knelt beside him, voice soft but fierce. "You will survive. The future of dragons depends on it."

Neron gave a weak smile. "With you at the helm, how could I not?"

The war for Valyria's legacy raged on — blood, fire, and fate intertwined in a deadly dance.
