Chapter 10: Voyage to the promised land

Year 33 BD

After the gathering of the freehold council in the sky hall in Oros, Aegor made his way back to his family's hold and continued with the preparations for his conquest. The final preparations took longer than expected and Aegor was making sure that before he left Valyria he had enough materials, Soldiers, labor force and food needed to start the construction of the port city in Nortos and turn it into a functioning city in about 10 years. Even with magic, construction is still a very long tedious process.

During his time preparing for the voyage he was able to find out there were a lot of Valyrians who were turned to slaves either because they were indebt and could not pay back or were sold or forced into slavery due to poverty so much for Valyrains being the most powerful race. If you are poor you are screwed even if you are a valyrian. So seeing this as a chance to increase the number of valyrains in his new kingdom Aegor decided to go and negotiate with the slaver to see if he could buy them all. So after sometime of discussion Aegor was able to buy all 20 thousand slaves for 15 million gold Valyrian honor coins instead of 20 million which was still 10 times more than the price of a slaves form another race but luckily for him at least they 7 thousand out of the 20 thousand have knowledge and skill in some form of craft or trade like fishermen, farmers, weavers, construction worker, blacksmith, tutors, sailors, carpenters, jewelers, locksmiths, farmhands, etc and the remaining were either pleasure slaves or sacrifical offerings to use in magic for lower dragonlord families. So once Aegor managed to collect that information he gathered them all and made them an offer that if they were willing to move to Nortos and become citizens all their debts would be wiped out and they would be free men if they refused they would be sold to another.

After the offer was laid out to them. None of the slaves refused and accepted it without hesitation since it was better than being sold to another. Finally after long preparation Aegor set out for Nortos with his army, fleet and Dragons

The total number of ships set to Nortos are 290. Among them 70 ships are war ships carry soldiers from both the family soldiers which are 10 thousand and the former slave soliders which consists of 8000 in total, Along with weapons and war horses. Then a 150 Colonizing ships which are the largest ships in Valyria, carry all the former slaves/ new citzens, constructions workers and material, farmers, craftsmen, horses, cattle, sheep, Oxes, seeds, food and other Valyrian common folk families eager to have a fresh start.

And the remaining 70 ships are merchant and fishing ships which will help increase the amount of food for the new city and trade with the Loreth and Morosh.

The fleet had set sail from Malmos, passing the gulf of grief around Valyria towards the west. The first stop on the journey was Lys where the fleet was replenishing supplies and feeding our dragons.Once done we continued our journey towards the stepstones. The Journey was long, tiring and mind-numbingly boring. Aegor had now a new appreciation for modern ships and how fast they were compared to ships with sails. After about 4 months of sailing at sea the fleet finally reached stepstones. No pirates or hostel forces could be found, considering one of the reasons could be that 3 fire breathing mounts of doom flying above them, guarding the fleet or the pirates know not to attack Valyrian ships. And after crossing the Stepstones our fleet reached Dragonstone, the western most outpost of Valyria.

The Fortress is still under construction and is manned by one of the minor houses. Aegor landed his fleet and let his dragons rest and fly around the island while he was exploring the fortress and Island. He planned to stay on the island for at least 20 days before setting sail again. During his stay he was observing the island and the state of the fortress. Construction is still going on and the sorcerers are melting Volcanic rock and few other stones to form the black rock which is being shaped to form the Fortress and with their incantations they are causing the liquid stone to take shape and gradually hard while as the other construction workers where using tools which were heat proof and using it smoothen and crave statues and other decorations onto the walls.

After some time wandering around the beach Aegor was able to find a cave filled with dragonglass. So he decided to wander deep into the cave with a torch and was able to find carvings on the wall depicting a battle between little people, humans, giants and animals against a blue eyed group. Then it hit him " Shit this is the depiction of the long night, the battle between the army of the living army consisting of the children of the forest and their allies against the night king and his army. Just like the one in the show." Aegor said when he got a good look at the carvings. The long night would take place around 430 years later so why not leave a message behind plus it would be fun.

So Aegor took a dagger stored in his inventory and started carving a message in the wall of the cave both in Valyrian and the common tongue. It read " To whoever finds this carving, please heed my warning that the White walkers are real and they are asleep in the land of winter and will march south march south in 400 years after the Doom. They can be killed using fire, dragonglass and Valyrian steel. If you find this message, pass it to another and be prepared. By Lord Freeholder Aegor Vaelyreos Heir to house Vaelyreos ".

After engraving the message on to the wall next to the carvings, Aegor buried the dagger he used to engrave the message right below it. If any Trageryen or Stannis finds this they may convince the realm to prepare for the great war or he could come back here 400 years later and show it to Daenerys who may believe him.

"That is a thing for future Aegor." he thought to himself. After walking past the beach and making his way to Dragonmount he noticed his 3 dragons flying around the area. After Claiming Arrax, Aegor decided he needed 3 dragons for his conquest to add to his military, so he decided to hatch 2 eggs, one blood red and the other smokey gray from his family's hatchery 7 years ago. After going through texts on dragons he found that to bond with a hatchling one must sprinkle some of their blood on the eggs and lay them an extreme heat source like in volcano cave or pyre which causes the heat energy to transfer to life essence which enables the eggs to hatch. Once done the owner of the eggs must ensure that he stands next to eggs so that once they hatch his face is the one only they see which makes it easier to bond with and 7 or 8 years later the owner must make a cut on the dragon and then collect and drink the blood flows, which will enable a connection to be formed. Usually when the ritual is done for the first time the rider would be able to increase his vitals and secure a strong bond but since Aegor performed it with Arrax and had already received the benefits so when he performed the ritual the 2nd and 3rd time only the connections were established and nothing else which was disappointing to him, but still he had to go through the pain which can with drinking it.

Along with Arrax two dragons were flying alongside him one red and the other smokey gray. The red one is Daegon and the gray one is Baela the she dragon. Both the size of jumbo jets flying alongside Arrax who was 10 times bigger. It's like looking at a great dane and Chihuahua standing next to each other. After viewing his dragons in the Sky, Aegor continued his exploration of Dragon mount and found a cave filled with bones of small dragons and humans.

Now he had a wild guess who this cave could belong to but he knew who it belong to but he did want to risk it so he began to turn back but suddenly a roar could be heard and final out came a dragon the size of pick up truck with coal black scales and pale green eyes and pale green flames ,once he exited Aegor took out his custom made dragon horn and blow it. And upon hearing it the little black dragon stopped and lowered its head. In the same instant Arrax, Daegon and Baela landed near him and Growled at the little black dragon and were about to rip him apart.

But thanks to Aegor he was able to calm his dragons and save the little one's life or else he would be in pieces now. After having a good look at the little dragon, he noticed that the dragon has been through some fair share of fights so once he was done admiring it Aegor was contemplating on what to do with it. He already had enough dragons at his side so there was no need to claim him so he finally decided that he would just leave him here and let the targaryens deal with him. "Let Aenar and family deal with him, he is of no concern to me. But I could claim all the eggs in dragon stone and sell it back to them." though Aegor with a sly grin. So he told Cannibal to fly and he continued exploring the cave to look for eggs and other useful stuff and to his luck he was able to find 2 eggs one mud brown and the other gray.

He kept looking and was not able to find anything else. So he called it a day and returned to the fortress before it was dark and rested. The next day he continued his search around the other parts of the Island for more eggs but was unsuccessful and finally he gave up.

For the next 4 days Aegor took some time to use his Artifact creation skill to create huge pillars using the rocks, dragonglass, sand and bloodstones which will be used to set up the climate barrier around the peninsula between Lorath and Morosh which will serve as the first port city to start there settlement into Nortos. So once done he informed the fleet captain that he will be flying to the site of the new port to do some preparations before the fleet arrives so he ordered the fleet captain to make sure the fleet stays in Dragonstone for a few more days till he is back.

Once done he stored all the pillars in his ring and flew towards the peninsula. Once he was approaching the area he placed the first pillar in the island which was on the westside of the peninsula and the second pillar in the southern island and then the other two were placed north and east. Once placed he activated the pillars and the temperature of the area changed completely. Now it was warmer and felt like Valyria, like home.

Once he was done setting up the climate barrier he immediately flew back to Dragonstone and in the next few days the fleet set sale again this time they keep sailing till they reached their destination they did not stop near Bravos or Lorath because Aegor didn't want them get any ideas or have any faceless men pay a visit.

After a long and tiring journey from Dragonstone the fleet finally managed to reach the site of the new port city. This marks the beginning of the most powerful dynasty in the known world, the Dynasty of the Dragon.
