Game of Thrones: Viserys the Three-Headed Dragon

The stench of decay permeated the air, as if the carcasses of fish and some indescribable animals were exposed in the endless black mud.

The black mud was disgusting and slippery, with a strange oily sheen in the rain.

A few daredevils proved that the fishing village full of black mud could be entered normally. Although in this way, the leather armor worn by the soldiers in the stormy days would have to be washed many times to remove the stench when they retreated. The knights didn't care, after all, it was their squires who were uncomfortable.

Sir Mond arranged the affairs of each team, frowned, and led the team into the black mud of the fishing village in the rainstorm.

Even if the mouth and nose were covered with linen and the nostrils were plugged with herbal pills provided by the maester, the stench here could not be covered up, and it was so smelly that it drove people crazy.

Someone found broken human body parts and traces of bonfires on the wooden stakes in the middle of the fishing village, which proved that some unique and brutal blasphemous rituals had indeed taken place here.

Sir Mond walked to the location where the scout reported the discovery of the body parts.

This is a fishing village with an open space in the middle, centered around a huge rock platform, with a dozen wooden frames built at a certain distance. The poor dead were hung upside down like livestock, and their bodies were cruelly and horribly damaged.

These gallows were arranged in a circle, indicating that there should have been some kind of sacrificial props on this rock platform.

This horrifying scene only made the well-trained knight stop for a moment, and he quickly remembered his duties.

The accompanying scholar endured the discomfort and checked the body parts of the dead on the wooden stakes.

Only the hunters and town managers who came with them vomited violently outside the fishing village. Even the dragon hovering in the air could not calm them down.

The fishing village has been completely vacant, and nothing is left in the house.

Sir Mond couldn't help looking at the valley gorge of the high hill not far away, which was the focus of their investigation. He looked up at the dragon hovering in the sky in the storm, and vaguely saw the king on the dragon's back, which gave him some confidence.

This strange fishing village makes people feel uneasy.

The half-league-long beach on the road near the fishing village, which was full of dead bodies of various fish and marine animals, made everyone speechless with astonishment. Some people even vomited all the lunch they had just eaten in the camp.

The weirdness here is frightening. Even the knowledgeable Sir Mond was terrified just now as he set out for the fishing village that was becoming more and more evil in their eyes.

They trudged along the road indicated by the scouts, came to the end of this strange beach, and walked into this black fishing village that was particularly strange in the storm.

This so-called fishing village is a crowded and miserable shack, with ugly tree roots and noose-like parasitic vines growing on the edge. Every deformed tree and every cluster of strange grass create a morbid atmosphere, and the occasional slippery stone walls and the ruins of dilapidated thatched houses deepen this atmosphere.

The black swamp spreads to every corner of the fishing village, exuding an evil breath that seems to be cursed.

Sir Mond and his party did not stay in the empty fishing village for too long. They passed through the black swamp that was scattered throughout the fishing village and headed towards the high hills above the open land where the fishing village was located.

The heavy rain never stopped. The wind brought by the king's dragon turned the rain into hot and humid water, which vaguely dispelled people's fear.

At this time, they came to a place with sparse trees, and the valley gorge where the black mud came from suddenly appeared in front of them. The slope of the valley was not steep, and there were many ridges and outcroppings of rocks. Several streams of black muddy water flowing out of the dark caves in the canyon merged into one stream here and flowed to the fishing village.

Under the storm, the deep caves in the canyon were as gloomy as the huge mouth of the abyss monster.

Sir Mond frowned. It was obviously a high place here, but they found things like seaweed, barnacles and corals in the black mud that they did not find in the lower part of the fishing village. It seemed that this place was closer to the sea.

This unreasonable discovery made people more and more uneasy.

A tense atmosphere enveloped the team.

There was only one way to get to the canyon caves where the black mud was coming out. Sir Mond gritted his teeth and ordered the team to move forward.

As the team approached the canyon, the rumbling sound of the rainstorm gradually became terrifying. The sound of rain and thunder seemed to produce some kind of reverberation in the canyon caves. When these mixed sounds came out of the caves, there was a kind of disturbing and strange sound mixed in. The intoxicated howling and shouting seemed to be there and not there in the rain curtain, and it echoed in the canyon in a low voice, like a storm blowing in the abyss of hell.

Sir Mond thought it was an auditory hallucination, but when he heard this strange sound that only a madman could treat calmly, he found himself stunned.

"Sir?"

When the mixed voice suddenly stopped, the other knights around Sir Mond looked at him.

Sir Mond found that the expressions of these people under the leather helmets were a little panicked.

Sir Mond drew his sword, and the feeling of the sharp sword in his hand made him feel more secure: "No matter what is inside, kill them with the sword, follow me! For the king!"

As the commander drew his sword, more people drew their swords, and then walked towards the dark cave without hesitation: "For the king!"

Viserys discovered the abnormality outside the canyon. His army drew their swords as soon as they approached the canyon cave. This means that they saw or heard something that Viserys did not find in the sky.

Viserys thought again and again, and still shrank his body slightly, lowering his height to the top of the army.

In the heavy rain, Viserys also heard the strange sound echoing in the canyon.

It must be admitted that even Viserys felt a little fear and confusion at the strange sound, and at the same time, he was excited like scientific research or archaeology, so he began to look more carefully at the situation in the strange cave in the canyon.

The rain curtain covered the daytime and the close view could not be seen clearly, but with the weak light, it could be seen that several caves on the side of the deep valley where the black mud emerged seemed to be connected to each other, and several streams that seemed to be just mountain streams flowed between the caves. These winding mountain streams were now occupied by black muddy water, constantly bringing out the stinking black mud from the dark caves and flowing out of the canyon.

The first group of knights, led by Commander Sir Mond, climbed along the gentle slope to a cave that seemed to have traces of human activities and kept gurgling out black mud. The entrance of the cave was not small, enough for three people to walk in side by side.

The well-trained knights took out the soaked torches from the leather.

A squire took out the oil pot that had been prepared from his backpack, and another squire dug a stable point at the entrance of the cave to avoid rain, and another person immediately put down a big pot.

The squire poured the oil into the big pot, and then began to try to ignite the oil with a flint.

After several ignitions, the flames instantly burst into the big pot with the oil poured in.

The current knights stirred the torches in the pot, and the wet torches began to burn, and then they continued to walk into the depths of the cave along the stream full of black muddy water.

As the vanguard walked deeper, a knight soon came out to report: "The space inside is very large!"

The interior of this cave is indeed unimaginably huge.

Viserys shrank from a light hole in the cliff of a canyon and flew into it, and soon found that there was another world inside the canyon cave.

Inside was a huge karst cave space, and this strange space reminded Viserys of the big cave inside the Dragon Mountain on Dragonstone Island, so that he wondered whether it was formed naturally.

The ground inside the cave was a black muddy swamp. The knights holding torches were carefully exploring the way to avoid falling into the strange black mud.

The cave was dark, like a gloomy abyss.

Seeing that there seemed to be no one inside the cave, Viserys couldn't help but think.

As he roared: "Dracarys!"

Two fireballs spewed out of his mouth, and in an instant they flew in two directions of the huge cave like two huge flares.

Under the bright light of these two fireballs, the space inside the cave was so large that it was shocking.

Now there was a team of about twenty knights holding torches entering the vast space in the cave, but they only illuminated one of the small corners like fireflies.

It took Viserys's fireball five heartbeats to hit the stone wall of the cave from the position where he spewed fire.

Suddenly, a huge and abrupt object deep in the cave attracted Viserys' attention.

It stood steeply, about a hundred yards away from Viserys, in the center of the cave swamp.

A huge black stone.

Whether it was the outline or the way it stood, it could not have been made by nature.

The knights who entered the cave first also found the thing under the light of the dragon's fireball.

It's just a big stone. Some people comforted themselves in this way.

But the path of the swamp under their feet was undoubtedly heading towards the big stone.

Before the knights arrived, the king had already ridden a dragon to the stone.

In the center of the black mud swamp, Viserys found some traces of campfires, indicating that there were people here before. But now most of these traces were swallowed by the black mud, leaving only unburned wood chips and burn marks.

More and more people entered different locations of the cave from different entrances, and torches were like starlight, illuminating the various entrances of this huge cave.

Viserys approached the huge black stone and looked carefully with the weak firelight above his head.

This black stone must be four or five meters high. Its bottom seems to be the source of these black muds, bubbling out.

There is dried black mud and something that looks like blood on the top of the stone.

Upon closer inspection, Viserys found that there was a corner on the right side of the black stone, which seemed to be broken originally, but now it was glued together with some vague dark red viscous substance.

The traces on it were too strange, giving Viserys an illusion that this stone was like a living thing, emerging from this black mud swamp bit by bit.

This idea made Viserys feel uneasy.

What made him even more uneasy was, where did the fishermen go?

Viserys noticed that the surface of the stone was engraved with inscriptions and rough reliefs. The writing system used in those inscriptions was not recognized by Viserys at all, and he had never seen anything similar in any book. It was even obviously not the same system as the Asshai spell runes provided by Marwyn.

Most of these inscriptions and reliefs were written symbols of aquatic creatures, such as octopuses, dolphins, sharks, crustaceans, shellfish and whales. Several symbols clearly represented some marine creatures larger than whales.

What made Viserys even more uneasy was the pattern of the relief.

The relief was large, a group. Viserys could see clearly that the theme of the pattern was a race of humanoids with webbed hands and feet playing like fish in an underwater cave, or worshiping at a huge altar under the waves. These humanoids had human faces, webbed hands and feet, thick and loose lips, bulging eyes, and dull eyes. Their eyes were depicted in different shapes, some were flat eyes like octopuses, and some were pure black ovals.

Perhaps this is the mermaid in the sailors' legend.

However, according to the relief, these mermaids are hideous and do not look like "beauties" at all.

The last side of the relief is a few sea monsters that seem to be the gods believed by mermaids. They have multiple tentacles like octopuses, strange eyeballs, and huge outlines. A sea monster in the relief is killing and swallowing a whale. Compared with the size of the whale and the sea monster, the sea monster has an extraordinary size.

At this time, the knights found the way in the swamp and were holding torches high to approach the huge black stone in the middle of the black swamp.

Viserys was lost in thought at the black stone, and the fire of the flaming head cast a strange reflection of the black mud swamp in front of him.

"Stop!"

Just as the knights were about to approach the black stone, Viserys roared. All the soldiers at the entrances and exits of the cave stopped and waited to obey the king's orders.

It turned out that Viserys found that the black stone base stopped gushing out black mud at a certain moment.

Something strange was happening.

Viserys felt a genuine uneasiness. He looked around and found that many people entered from other entrances of the cave, holding torches and standing around the cave full of black mud. Viserys simply ordered: "Sir Mond, lead everyone in the mud to retreat. Don't step on this black mud swamp."

However, at the same time that Viserys gave the order, he suddenly saw a foreign object quietly sliding out of the black mud under the stone.

At first, only a slight fluctuation of the black mud water foreshadowed its arrival.

At a certain moment, there was a rumbling thunder outside the cave, a thunder mixed with the sound of the storm, and then a harsh and cruel howl and scream suddenly broke out from under the black stone under Viserys.

Rip!

Viserys flapped his wings violently, away from the huge black stone under him.

"Dracarys!"

Then a flame ray was ejected!

More than one painful howl and scream from humans came from Viserys's flame ray, and the piercing scream echoed endlessly in the huge cave. The great strange shock made everyone feel weak in their legs and feet and trembling in their hearts.

Some people even trembled all over in this strange scream, unable to move under some shocking fear.

Under the attack of Viserys's flames, the unknown foreign object instantly drilled into the black mud and disappeared.

The amazing scream stopped abruptly, and only the aftermath echoed in the cave.

The foreign object came suddenly and left suddenly. Viserys only saw its body suddenly emerging from the black mud. At a glance, Viserys found that its skin was pale under the black mud, and its body was like a human.

Since it did not die on the spot after being burned by the dragon's flames, it also made more than one human scream.

Viserys had a very cruel and terrifying guess, maybe the humanoid thing was just a part of it.

The whole thing might be the missing fishing village cultists, who were gathered together by some kind of power and flesh and blood, and turned into a non-human existence.

And its purpose seemed to be to completely liberate the black stone tablet in the mud from the bottom of this strange cave.

Viserys inexplicably remembered the legend about the Storm God and the Drowned God, and it was said that these two gods were eternal enemies.

This made Viserys guess that if this black stone with underwater creatures engraved on it was the creation of the Drowned God's underwater alien believers and was used to seal something, then it seemed to explain the current situation.

This existence sealed by the Drowned God was trying to unseal it.

Just when Viserys was carefully guarding in the cave.

There was a cry of surprise from outside the cave: "The monster has come ashore! Monster!"

Everything related to the Drowned God and the Storm God is very Cthulhu.
