Chapter 84: The Nature of A Calamity IV
(Third Person POV)
Daranne Lannister sat on a bench, holding a basket of flowers as she looked up at the fallen leaves of the tree next to her.
She was one of the twin daughters that Lord Lannister offered Drakken in exchange for an alliance. As of lately, her sister Dara had married Jon Rivers, one of the commanders of the Duskguard. Daranne was offered to Olyver Rivers, one of the Greenseers under Mya's command.
Olyver refused, stating that he already had a woman and had asked permission to marry her. This left Daranne alone and refused.
Drakken showed no interest in her, he never did. This made Daranne feel unwanted and unloved, which she had held in for so long. She was at her breaking point; she did not know what to do anymore.

"My sister...." She said softly, "At least she's married....what purpose do I serve?"
She looked up at the sky, seeing a small amount of clouds that covered it. She closed her eyes and felt the breeze of the wind that hit her, causing her golden hair to flow slightly in the wind.
Suddenly, she felt a cold chill course through her body as she opened her eyes.
"Huh?" she said as she saw Drakken walk past her, not paying any mind, "Lord Drakken?"
Drakken merely walked down the path, ignoring her.
Daranne frowned and stood up, curiosity filling her entire being and getting the better of her. She proceeded to walk behind Drakken who was several meters ahead from her, following him into the woods next to Harrenhal.
She followed Drakken through the forest, watching as he merely walked into a cave that she was told not to enter.
She stopped several dozen meters away from the mouth of the cave, feeling a strange heat coming from it.
"Lord Drakken...." She said as she placed her hands near her chest and gulped, mustering the courage to walk towards the entrance and traverse inside it, "I..."
Daranne entered the cave, going through several tunnels where she was sure Drakken had walked through. She noticed that there were traces of gold on the walls and ceiling of the tunnels, which did not surprise her at all.
Eventually, she reached a massive cavern that was covered in gold, shining brightly and reflecting the sunlight that shone through cracks in the cavern ceiling. There was a strange heat that hit Daranne in the face, a powerful presence creeping from behind her.
Daranne could not help but breathe heavily, having a feeling that something was watching her. She saw that Drakken was standing in front of what looked like strange piles of gold in front of him. He still did not pay her any attention, the young girl was standing next to a pillar of stone and gold that was exuding a bit of dust from it.
Daranne was aware of what this was; her sister had told her all about Lyssa, the Gold Lindwyrm that Drakken had created. It had been months since Drakken had acquired such a creature which has produced an obscene amount of gold. The gold had funded House Drakkengard to the point where everyone in the Realm wanted a piece.
She squinted towards Drakken and saw that the piles of gold looked awfully like men. After a few seconds of scanning them, she came to the realization that they were in fact men that were turned into gold.
"Oh my....." She managed under her breath
Drakken waved his hand in front of them and suddenly, the gold shattered and the men collapsed to their knees. There were four of them, four men had been turned to gold by something and Daranne could only assume it was Lyssa.
She didn't hear or see the beast, which was strange.
"Maybe it is slumbering." Daranne whispered to herself
She then watched as Drakken grabbed one of the men by the throat and picked him up as he gasped for air, clutching his arm weakly.
Without saying anything, Drakken crushed the man's neck and killed him, dropping his body next to the others.
Daranne gasped as she stepped back, witnessing Drakken killing someone in cold blood. She didn't say anything, a bit of anxiety filling her body.
Drakken then grabbed the head of the other man and squeezed it, his skull exploding as bits of brain and skull flew everywhere, a disturbing sound filling the cavern as Drakken let go of him. The man's body collapsed to the ground, blood pooling around.
He then waved his hand at the other two who were composing themselves, their entire bodies shredding completely as blood and bone flew everywhere.
Daranne covered her mouth as her eyes were widened, "O-Oh..." She managed
This was not something she was supposed to see; Drakken murdering someone. She had heard that he was ruthless and a vicious killer but she had never directly witnessed it. She knew that her brother angered Drakken and is the reason he was shipped to the Wall but she did not know it was this bad.
Suddenly, Drakken appeared behind her.
"What do you want?" He said, which shocked the girl
Daranne jumped up in surprise, "Ah!"
She looked up to see Drakken looking at her with a serious expression, his eyes were deep red, glowing slightly as the dragon slit was more prominent.
"You've been following me...." He said, "You are fortunate that I am here....don't ever come into these caverns alone. Lyssa will not think twice about killing you."
Daranne gulped, "W-Why did you kill them?"
"They trespassed." Drakken said, "I do what I want with those who try to steal from me."
"O-Oh...." She said
"What do you want?" Drakken said
"N-Nothing...." Daranne said
"Are you certain?" Drakken leaned down and sniffed her neck, "You want something. I can smell it...."
"L-Lord Drakken...." She managed
Drakken straightened up, "Your Sister is married, how does that make you feel?" He asked her, "You were also refused by Olyver."
Daranne stepped back, "I...."
"Does it bother you?" Drakken asked
"It does...." She said, "I...."
"Unlike your sister, you are rather quiet." Drakken said, "Tell me what is it you desire."
"I want to be loved..." Daranne said, "To be wanted."
"Hm." He said, "What childish desires. How old are you?"
"I am 18, My Lord....and yet I am still a Maiden..." She said as she looked down
"Old enough." Drakken suddenly said, "Get on your knees."
"W-What?" Daranne looked at her
"You want to be fucked, no?" Drakken said seriously, "I will fulfill your wish. I have not had anything since Mya became pregnant. You could say I am pent up...and lately, I've been feeling more like myself....so get on your knees...."
"I'll take you right here, right now..."
*************
"You....look different...." Mya told Drakken as he walked inside the room
"Is that so?" Drakken sat down on the chair, "How so?"
Mya looked at him for a couple of seconds before smiling, "You have gotten that fierceness again..." She said, "The Real You."
"Hm...." Drakken said, "I've wondered if I've become soft."
"That is not the case at all, My Lord." Mya told him, "You are just adjusting to this world, that is all. You do things because you want to, not because you've changed. You told me that your existence is Chaos. Chaos is unpredictable and erratic....."
"I fucked Daranne." Drakken said suddenly
Mya blinked, "Oh."
"Is that a problem?" Drakken asked her
Mya shook her head, "No." She said, "I am not your wife. Who am I to protest?"
"My woman." Drakken said
"You will do what you want." Mya told him, "You are no mere Man. You are The God of War and Death."
"Hm..." Drakken said, "I left her in her room, she won't be able to walk for a day or two."
"Oh? Reminds me of our first time." Mya chuckled
"She could be pregnant after this." Drakken said, "Will that bother you?"
"No." Mya told him, "So long as I bear your first child, it doesn't matter."
"You are still the Lady of House Drakkengard and any child fathered by me will also bear that name." Drakken said, "Bastard or not."
"Yes...." Mya said with a smile, "My Lord, will you use that energy with the Targaryen girls?"
"Not Maegelle." Drakken said, "But we'll see with the others. Their blood...Jaehaerys's blood....wouldn't it be a nice thing? To mix mine with them....?"
"It will make his blood boil."
