When Daemon Blackfyre died, his brother Aegor Bittersteel fought tooth and nail to make Daemon’s children and grandchildren Kings of Westeros. When he was mortally wounded in The Disputed Lands, he died at the age of 69 with a sword in his hands and defiance on his lips. His legacy would continue in the actions of The Golden Company.

The leader of the battalion wore red stripes signaling his position in the grand army. He was blade dancing with James. Each slice James was able to keep up with ease. James was just waiting for him to make a mistake. The leader overcommitted on a poke so he side stepped it grabbed his arms and flung his sword away and grabbed him by the throat, "I am sure all of you are...Fully aware of who is responsible for this" James growled. He looked at all of his men. Some of them were rather unscathed with a light amount of dirt and blood dripping from their swords. Others were injured. Broken pieces of equipment and blood splattered everywhere. Cerren was on his knees shaking one of his dead comrades. His face had a glint of light from a shallow pool of sweat on him. His features remained normal but you could recognize a tint of fire in his eyes you would only recognize once you have been around him for a while. "We have been deceived. Our king was afraid that we would figure out the truth. We have someone sitting on that throne sipping wine while we fight his battles for him! And what does he do to people who disobey him? What does he do when they figure out his deceitfulness and evil? He casts them aside! He disposes of them! He wanted to get rid of us, he wanted to because he was afraid. He was afraid of what all of us were capable of. Out of all the blood that was spilled for our king. And the comrades he had kill today. I say...it is only fair that we go...and spill some of his." A huge uproar came from the battle field. He stared the leader in his eyes. The leader looked in fear at James. "Tell King Zori we will come for his head." He threw him to the ground and he scurried off to the kingdom.

Seems like I'm going to have to pay more attention to your compositions. This will be perfect for the final scene of my second book, when it's adapted to film. It's my antagonist's origin story, and ends with him destroying all life on his planet, inadvertently, while trying to save it. It breaks him, utterly, and shapes and informs who and what he ends up becoming, to justify the atrocity he commits. What he unleashes cleanses all life, and even oxygen and microbial life on his planet, killing its 6 billion inhabitants in the process, scorching the planet to its crust, and turning the planet into a lifeless body. I'm certain that I will be in touch, eventually, when all is in motion. Beautiful piece of music. Keep up the great work.

@@user-be9rq5re2l I'm in the final draft revisions for the saga, right now. I expect to have the first three books ready for publication within a year, which should set publication date at 18-24 months from now, if all goes according to my present writing schedule. When I get done getting my full VA disability, I will be able to write full time, and no longer have work interfering with my writing, dramatically accelerating my timetable. So, pray the VA is less awful than they have been in the intervening years since I left the Marines with a permanent injury. I will make you a deal.... when I have a solid publication date, I will post again to this thread, and let you know the title and planned date of publication. Once the stories reach the development stage for screenplay and video game adaptation(yes, I plan to do a series of games, and have high hopes of producing an open-world, sandbox, massively-multiplayer online game of pretty profound scope, which I plan to oversee and creatively develop myself, once I sign a deal with a studio I trust), the full saga should be released to hardback and paperback. It's an ambitious plan, but I have yet to have a single person who didn't get sucked in by the story, and the underpinning concepts. It's not difficult to write a compelling story when you have compelling characters, and my story is all about my characters, their relationships, their development, their flaws, their triumphs and failures, and how they take part in and bear witness to an alternate, semi-fictional but historically-founded timeline of humanity, since the time of early civilization, from the tail end of the Younger Drias period forward. And, of course, when the screenplay production for the second book goes into effect, my plan is to contract with a few composers, Greg(Secession Studios) included in that, to do a combination of remastered and slightly modified versions of existing music they've already created, which has inspired my final draft revisions, and helped me visualize and realize what I want to see in my book and on screen, as well as a collaborative original score. Greg's talent for dark, simple compositions that are surprisingly thoughtful and complex, for the initiated listener, will be perfect for the dark tone of the second book, as well as many of the darker chapters of the story. As an artist of another kind, who weaves a tapestry with words, and relies upon creative visualization, I spend literally hours every day mining the best, modern classical compositions I can find, in the hopes of being further inspired, and possibly utilizing what is a criminally-underrated genre of modern music, in the form of neo-classical composition. The fact that things like "WAP" by Cardi B get a billion plays and win a Grammy, but tracks and albums like this go largely unnoticed, is a travesty. So, you have my word.... when the time comes, I will post here, again, and give the details, if Greg is okay with me doing so on his channel.

They came at us with those tubes- those damned metal tubes that spit fire and metal and death. The royal guard's full plate suits had taken direct crossbow bolts, but under the fire and metal of those damned pagan assailants, they fell like flies. Many wounds had I suffered for my king in all my years of service, but dozens more my form did bare that day. Into the attackers did my greatsword go, and dozens fell before me. Metal tore through my arms, my back, my chest, my gut; my ears rang with blood and the echoes of my deforming helm, and in honest combat, hundreds of the pagan murderers fell to my blade that day. My organs tore under the shredded remains of my full plate, but still I faught untill my arms would lift my blade no more, my very muscles torn right off my bone, my legs crumpling under that same fate. The cult leader walked to me, _his last mistake,_ and stated "You won't tell me where he is, will you?" "You'll NEVER find my King!!!" I spat from a bloody, Broken-toothed jaw. He asked my last words, and I stated; "Valor is dead. And I, I go WITH IT!!!" With the last strength of my body, I acted once more for king and kingdom, and tore away with seven teeth at the manhood of that evil cultist lord, before his Metal tube blew my brains apart. I would die, but no line of kings would EVER replace the rightful King and his heirs. NEVER.

It was simple really. You see the hearts of the people had long ago been broken. They had toiled for years feeding a fat, rich king. They had suffered abuse, famine, and every sort of suffering. They watched their children die during the long, cold winter nights. You see it was because the king never cared for his people and never saw them above his roast pig laying upon his feast table. So that is why the day they came, the day our new ruler came, the guards simply opened the city gates. The people watched silently from their homes or the streets staring, hoping that the army marching through their streets had come to finally end their torment. The army was cold, determined, and singleminded. And their marched matched it. They moved effortlessly through the city towards the castle. There they found the king, as he was always doing at that hour, feasting upon the labors of his people. The leader of the army stood at the end of the feast table and removed his helmet revealing a young man similar in look to the king. "Well brother, I see you have treated our people well." "My people," the king corrected, but paused in his feasting as he noticed the men standing behind the young man, "As that why you are here?" "It is. I have come to reclaim this people and this land." The king laughed and took a large sip of wine. "Over my dead body. I broke them. I made them fear me. They are mine and they will never be yours." The young man smiled, "That maybe what you believe, but the truth is far from it." "Lies!" called out the king as he had lost his smile. This interaction no longer held enjoyment for him. "Guards take this intruder away to the dungeon." But they didn't move. They simply stood there. The king then stood and screamed into their faces, "I said to take them away!" Again, they didn't move. Fear began to take hold of the king's cold heart. "The more you made them fear you, the faster they ran to me," said the young man as he drew sword. "Now it is time to end their suffering." "No!" the king cried out as the young man slew him. The young man backed away from the body of the king. He then turned and stood before his troops. "Men today, you have witnessed justice. You have witnessed honor being restored to this people. You have witnessed hope in a new, better future. Never forget this day. Never forget what happened to bring us here. And never forget what we can become." The troops hailed their new ruler, and word quickly spread of the death of the king. And with that news came a new hope, a new purpose. The people rejoiced in their new ruler, the one who had freed them from their prison. And they never forget what he did for them that day.
