Secrets Buried Deep

When Valkorion heard that the R'hollor, his mind raced for the time being because that was the True Name of the Lord of Light, which was a rather prominent God in the ASOIAF canon, especially after the fall of the Valyrian Freehold, the Faith of Lord of Light was widespread through the entire Essos and reaching even the Asshai and Strygoi.

"R'hollor is one of the Great Wyrms that embarked on the Beyonder Pathway and right now, he is standing at the Sequence 1. Instead of advancing directly to Sequence 0, the cunning bastard has decided to become the King of Angels at first, most probably so it won't attract the attention of the Traitors."

Bahamuth spoke in a deep voice, the entire subterranean world trembling when he said the word "traitor", Valkorion suspected that it must be related to the Five-Headed Dragon God that rose in the prominence after his very own fall. 

Ironically, though, the Five-Headed Dragon God was the primary God that was worshipped within the Valyrian Freehold. All of his representations were worshipped as separate avatars. 

Balerion, the Main God, the God of Dragons.

Meraxes, God of the War.

Vhagar, God of the Stars.

Syrax, God of the Elements.

Tessarion, Goddess of Judgement.

These were the representations of the Five-Headed Dragon Gods, five heads, each head was one avatar, and each avatar was one Domain. And everything this was held by Bahamuth the Draconian during his peak as the strongest Ancient God and even more.

"My Lord, If I may ask, who are these traitors?"

Valkorion asked carefully as he looked at the towering figure of the Astral; at the same time, he wanted to confirm his suspicion and obtain even more of the mystical knowledge. As they say, knowledge is power, and in the world of Beyonders, knowledge is the supreme power.

"In the long bygone Era where Ancient Gods roamed the world, I had six Great Wyrms under my command. Each one of them was comparable to the King of Angels, and each one of them embarked on the Path of Beyonder, making them Dual-Attributed Extraordinary Creatures."

Extraordinary Creatures could also drink Beyonder Potion and embark on some Pahtway, though for them, it was several times more dangerous than for any other species. For example, the Dragons...

Dragons themselves were Extraordinary Creatures, regardless of their subspecies, and as they matured, they grew in strength, and most ancient of them could become comparable to angels. 

At the same time, they could even drink Beyonder Potion and become Beyonder, essentially walking on two paths simultaneously. Even though this would tremendously elevate their power and grant them a chance to ascend to Godhood, it was a hundred times more dangerous for them to be Beyonder than for other intelligent species.

Laws of the Cosmos were fair, and as the price for embarking on the Path of Beyonder as already Extraordinary Creature, the prize they must pray for is a steep one.

"Five of them wanted to become Gods themselves, and thus they fought over the remains of my shattered Godhood. In the end, every one of the five managed to get part of it until they realized that in the state they were in, no one could ascend to Sequence 0, no matter how hard they tried or whatever they did. In the end, one of them, Balerion, the Angel of Dragons, proposed that they should all merge together to ascend as new Draconians. And thus, the Five-Headed Dragon God came into existence."

Valkorion stood there with a shocked expression because this was practically against everything that the Church of the Dragon Gods was spouting about their deity and how the God of their rose to ascendance. 

Another tremor ran through the subterranean city, this time from sadness more than anger, but another one ran through Valkorion as well because it seemed that the Five-Headed Dragon God was, in the end, an amalgamation of five different Dragons of Sequence 1 that became Kings of Angels.

Now, it made more sense why they were often worshipped as separate entities, even though in the basic dogmas of the Church of the Dragon Gods, it was always written that the Five-Headed Dragon God was one singular entity.

With just a little twist, each of his heads had a different and separate personality.

Now, it was all making sense.

On the other side, Valkorion was sure that this was something that someone like him, just lowly Sequence 7 Beyonder, shouldn't know. If he had to bet, then even the most prominent Beyonders in the Valyrian Freehold don't know the truth of the Five-Headed Dragon God for whatever reason.

Maybe only some of the Angels are aware of this secret, but for the greater good of the Valyrian Freehold, they would rather keep it to themselves.

"Only R'hllor remained loyal till the end as he was someone who pursued his own Path, not related to the Pathway that I walked on. Till this day, R'hllor is helping me to revive while at the same time cultivating his very own power. And that will be your tasks for the time being..."

Valkorion remained silent on the topic; the only way to uncover more would be either through the future Lord of Light or one of his followers. 

"Once you finish the quest, you will receive Boon for your efforts. Now you can go."

As the enormous Dragonoid creature stated, his figure dissipated into thousands of crystalline-like shards that fell all around the subterranean cavern, disappearing as they had never existed in the first place. 

'Maybe everything sounded too good... go into here, find a treasure and leave. In the endless clusterfuck of things, I got myself entrapped in the schemes of True Gods and Angels. What a bad luck... though... it could have ended far worse.'

Valkorion thought as he looked at the place where the fallen God was just a few moments ago and pondered over the matters. It was evident to him that he had managed to fall into some kind of rabbit hole, but things were not really that bad.

If he managed to aid 'Him' in reviving, then the benefits he would receive would be unimaginable.

'Also, helping another one achieve Godhood is priceless. 'He' would later become one of the major religious forces in the entire Essos; having 'His' gratitude and friendship would be worth more than all gold in the Westerlands.'

However, he had to admit that this was also something that he wanted.

Obtaining a connection to someone truly powerful would allow him to gather resources and power before the fall of the Valyrian Freehold.

Now that he had thought about it, for the whole time, he hadn't really heard anything about even remotely connected to the Lord of Light or Temple of the Lord of Light in the Valyrian Freehold, which meant that they must have been acting as a Secret Organization.

Even though the Valyrian Freehold had a certain degree of religious freedom, it was only applied to the religions that didn't have conflict with that of the Church of the Dragon Gods. 

Considering the relationship between the future Lord of Light and the Five-Headed Dragon God, it was no wonder if the Temple of Lord of Light operated within the shadows in the Valyrian Freehold, as even their mere existence could be dangerous for the Red Priests.
