6 The Moon dyed Red

'Blood.'

'Blood.'

'Blood.'

"Stop..."

'Blood.'

'Blood.'

"Stop!!"

'Blood.'

'Blood.'

"I. Said. STOP!"

'....'

'...blood.... blood... blood... blood... blood..blood... blood... blood... blood...blood.... blood... blood... blood... blood..blood... blood... blood... blood...blood.... blood... blood... blood... blood..blood... blood... blood... blood...blood.... blood... blood... blood... blood..blood... blood... blood... blood...'

I fell to the ground releasing a groan. My head fucking hurt. It felt as if there was a live serpent inside, wriggling around and screaming in my ears.

'Blood.... blood... blood... blood... blood..blood... blood... blood... blood...blood.... blood... blood... blood... blood..blood... blood... blood... blood...blood...'

"Ugh...." Groans escaped my mouth as I struggled to get up. All my eyes could see was a deep shade of red and two figures in front.

Slowly I felt my mind slipping into madness, I could feel my teeth widening, sharp enough to cut through steel as I knelt on my forearms similar to a beast.

"Blood." I opened my mouth to speak subconsciously but not a single word resounded in my ears.

My consciousness felt trapped in my skull and I could feel every single part of my body moving voluntarily.

I tried to control it but to naught. The voices in my head screamed and all I could do was watch helplessly as I went berserk.

'Blood'

'Blood.'

'Blood.'

'Blood.'

I could hear the echo of the words in my head, but they didn't seem to reach me anymore for before I knew it, I had already sucked all blood out of a man.

Control slowly returned to my body as I saw the woman I was now biting into. Instinctually I felt as if I was saving the best for the last.

Euphoria flowed into my body, it was better than finally being able to walk or the best food I had ever tasted.

It filled every corner of my body with a warm sensation.

I felt myself growing in size once again, my muscles stretching and my bones becoming stronger.

I glanced at the woman I had just bitten into, she tried to moan but to naught since no voice escaped her mouth.

Soon before I knew it, moving pictures began to flow in my brain, I saw a young girl playing with her dolls as she grew up and saw the poverty of King's Landing and the cruelty, and grief that filled the young girl as she strived to make the city better but to naught.

She believed her father who had a high position in court could do something but even he was useless.

Saddened by this years passed and she was already older and a lady in servant to the Queen in Green, Allicent Hightower but at the same time a spy for the White Wyrm, Myssaria of Lys.

My throat seemed dry, it lusted for more but the moment I found this crucial information, my interest dampened the desire.

Talya Raben. A spy for the White Wyrm and a lady in waiting for the Queen in Green. Now, this was a perfect pawn.

I did not know how or why but instinctually I felt as if hypnosis was something I could do. I looked at the woman, opening her eyes with my fingers.

It seems she had fainted due to blood loss, fortunately not dead. It would be disastrous if that happened. Although I am glad, I am able to control my body from lounging at her, biting my fangs into that tasty nape.

It would be embarrassing if a prince of my standing cannot control his desires. The first time I lost control is already embarrassing.

Just look at that pathetic Aegon who is unable to do so, bringing shame to House Targaryen. I do not want to turn out like him.

How do I know this piece of information? Easy, I saw in the moving pictures which I believe are Talya's memories.

Even the 'Will' by the side of my bed was written by Queen Allicent, I found this after seeing the memories. To be honest, I could have guessed this one.

Who would be stupid enough to name my fool brother as a successor of mine... other than the greens.

Really a pathetic little shit and even his bitch of a mother. The audacity to do what she did is atrocious.

Shaking my head slightly, I grabbed Talya's hand that was touching my face slightly and spoke into her eyes.

'From now on you belong to me. All of your allegiances lie to me, not the White Wyrm, not Allicent nor your house and family. I am your only and greatest master. From now onwards you are my spy to both the women."

As I spoke to her, I felt a bit of the warm surge of energy leaving my body and transferring into Talya. The pupils in her eyes widened slowly before becoming normal as a low pitch noise resounded.

I closed her eyes shut and picked the woman up in my arms. As for the man, I had no intention of cleaning out his body from here any soon... I had a rather good surprise for all of my enemies.

A few drops of blood were splattered onto the ground. I felt a tingle flowing all across my body before smirking.

The droplets of blood slowly picked up into the air, hovering lightly and etching into the walls of the Red Keep right where the guard was pinned, all blood sucked out of his body making him look similar to a dried-up corpse.

A message.

My head throbbed a little as I did so, it seems a lot of my warm energy and mental power had been consumed to do this.

However, if my hypothesis is correct then blood is the primary source of my power like food is for humans. So if I drink more of it, I could gain the energy back.

This would be quite easy. As for guilt? Sure, I felt a little sad when I accidentally killed the guard but then again, this was not my first kill.

They say, I killed my mother the day I was born branding me as a kinslayer in the name not a legal one of course since the killing of a mother during birth is not seen as an act of kinslaying, at least normally.

Did not help much though, I had always heard whispers of contempt. Along with being sickly, I was branded a kinslayer in everything but name.

That aside, I may no longer be human. After all, humans do not prey on humans.

Well then again, Dragonlords were never human especially not after the blood rituals. They even went further to call themselves dragons, my ancestors the same.

In a way, this is a fact since there have been examples of stillborn children with draconic traits along with the fact that we used blood magic to connect dragons with us.

The agenda was probably to make us a half-dragon or a Dragonoid being, we probably could have but the Doom of Valyria did not allow it, leaving us as only dragon riders.

As for the note I hover-penned on the wall? That was something the world would see at the first rays of dawn.

I could feel my lips curl a little, anticipating everyone's reactions. It would be fun to see dread upon their faces, looks of fear on their visage.

The dragon in me had been sleeping for long, it is time it awoke and soar into the sky.

Puckering my lips slightly, I carried Talya in my arms. My throat felt extremely dry and my lust for blood pulsated.

I looked at the sky that was filled with many different colors, the moon was bright and high, its silvery gaze stoic but as loving as a mother.

"It's a beautiful night."
