1 Became a Noble of Old Valyria!

A man was sitting in the center of a pitch black room. There was no noise in the room. There were no windows, no sunlight came into his room. That man's name is Arthur Luigi.... was Arthur Luigi as he died in a war. He was a captain in the army. When he died he was not more than 21 years old. People respected him because he was the youngest yet the most successful one in their army.

Arthur stays in that room for nearly a year now. He didn't believe in any kind of gods until he saw one. He saw a sphinx in the middle of his room. A sphinx was a chimera with the head of a human, the body of a lion, and the wings of a falcon.

"Who are you? Why are you here? Can you help me?"- Arthur asked the sphinx with hope in voice.

"I'm one of the gods of Valyrian Freehold, an extinct empire in Essos. I am sure you don't understand what I am saying little one. I come from the House of the Dragons series which is based on a book called Fire and Blood that a writer from your kind wrote."- The sphix spoke in a domineering manner as if it is truly a god.

"But how can something from a fantasy book be called a god, Sphinx?"- he questioned it.... more like stating that he do not believe it.

"A god is born when people believe in it entirely. In the book, I was a god. I had powers. But your writer killed my followers and their empire. A god dies when he doesn't have a single follower. Luckily those who read his book created me in their mind and proclaimed me as a god of that world. As a result I exist now in your world."- The sphinx answered his question with patience. For the first time, Arthur thought that it could be a god from his explanation.

"Why come here? Are you trying to make fun of a dead person like me? Who's soul is sealed for eternity?"- Arthur said to it in a mocking manner. He was sad that he can't go anywhere. He can't go to his home. He can't see his friends.

"I shall free your soul from this place. But as a condition you must hear my requests and obey it. I shall send your soul to House of The Dragon's Era. You must ensure that the Targaryens don't fight among themselves. You must make sure that Rhaenyra Targaryen, daughter of Viserys Targaryen survives. Also, you must ensure that there are enough Targaryens to rule the Seven Kingdoms for eternity. After all the last Targaryen also died. That boy Jon is a Targaryen in name only. Promise me and I will free you and send you there to do your duty. You may do whatever you like as long as my conditions remain intact. But do remain that if one condition isn't fulfilled, you will be brought back here and be alone for eternity."- Again the sphinx spoke with a domineering manner and threatening the poor Arthur. But even Arthur knew that if the sphinx did free him, he would complete the conditions. Finding no other way, Arthur agreed.

"Allright, I agree to your terms. But you must know that I don't have any powers. I am skilled in melee fights, yes. But my friends often spoke that in the book and in the series people are skilled in other weapons and has strong physique. Moreover, I don't even know the plots. How do you expect to help you if I don't know what's going to happen."- Arthur told the sphinx in a depressing manner. He enrolled in the army when he was only 17. All his life, he dedicated himself in the army trainings and missions. So, he didn't have time to read the book 'Fire and Blood' or watch the series called 'House of The Dragons' or whatever.

The Sphinx chuckled and said to Arthur, "Do not worry,little one. I shall give you magic. Magic that can produce fire and heal. I shall give you magic that can help you befriend any dragon,helping you understand it. You shall be one of the last descendant of a house that survived the doom. Your house will be one of the most powerful houses that existed in Valyrian Freehold before dying. But as a price, you must promise that you will recreate your house with the help of Targaryens. You will reintroduce the glory of Valyria. As for strong physique, you don't have to worry about that. With the Valyrian pure blood in your veins that existed among the top powerhouses, you will naturally be the strongest in westeros. I said strongest because The Targaryens will be minor house compared to your house. About the question about plots, I shall send information about some important events that will happen along with the general knowledge of that world once you go to that world."- The Sphinx spoke to him with an arrogant face like it was saying that a god's power is uncountable.

"You told me to help the Targaryens and become their ally.But what should I do if anyone from the Targaryens try to kill me or harm me and my 'created family'?"- Arthur questioned the sphinx what was on his mind.

Hearing this, the sphinx didn't speak for a time before saying," You are free to kill only the Targaryen that are trying to kill you. But don't kill the dragons. They are like my children. I have given you magic that you can use to understand them, ride them and become their friends. If the Dragons sees that you are their friend, they will not pick the Targaryen side."

"I'm ready. Relieve me from this wretched place."- Arthur stood up and towards the Sphinx who in response touched his head. He couldn't see for a while and fell asleep.

When Arthur woke up, he found himself in a place where he could see only crops and other agricultural lands. As the Sphinx had said that it would tell Arthur some important events and general knowledge, he knew that he was in the Reach. Now, he knew that his house is House Valhalla, one of the top powerhouses in Old Valyria.

'So, I am the last noble who survived the fucking volcano erruption.'- Arthur whispered to himself.

Arthur Valhalla was the last member of the House Valhalla that existed in Valyrian Freehold. They were one of the top houses due to having powerful and huge dragons as well as trained dragonlords. The Targaryens where a minor house compared to them.

He went to a nearby river and in the reflection he saw his appearance. He looked like a boy about 11 years or 'name-days'.

Although he had valyrian traits like having the pure silver hair with deep purple eyes, he was not a true member of house valhalla. The sphinx made him a valyrian descendant to reproduce and create his house again in this world.
