He wasn't supposed to be in this world, with this power no less. Yet, he will rise nonetheless, from a mere common-born to rule the entirety of the seven kingdoms. He is the root of a legacy that will stay for generations, the orchestrator, the planter of a great tree. --- Yes, this is a fanfic that combines *Fire and Blood/House of the Dragon* with *Attack on Titan*. After a lot of thinking, I am writing a HoTD fanfic again... though the vibe of it will definitely be different from my Celtigar fic. This one's more self-indulgent, shall we say. I generally don't like fanfictions that mix up things that weren't supposed to mix up (i.e., GoT and all kinds of animes), but I feel like the realism of the two series is close enough. But that's just me, so maybe if my writing is not to your taste, I am sorry. And beware, I started writing this fanfic before Episode 1 of HotD S2 and this will be posted before episode 3 of HoTD S2, so it might contain differences from the show, as well as spoilers for the future (as the fanfic's prologue is estimated to be during Episode 4 of the show, timeline wise). so if you see this and care about spoilers, do not read it.
