《The Sun Dragon》The Wedding
Advertisement
"Are you ready?" Mellario asked her niece.
"I am." Visenya said.
Jacaerys started to officially court her, and the Martells nor Dorne opposed.
Their union would unite House Blackfyre and House Targaryen, and Jacaerys would try and usurp her position as the ruling Queen when Visenya reclaimed the Iron Throne.
Now they would be wedding today.
Visenya nor back in past life, Victoria, had jitters when it came to love. Victoria had ever gotten married, killed defending her daughter she made 'birthed' through a magic ritual.
So this would be her first time in both lives getting married.
Doran and oberon were hell bent to make sure nothing went wrong. Only the best of the best was good enough for the wedding... and that included her dress.
The purest shade of white silk made up the dress from Yi Ti, and it exposed the tops of her breasts and collarbones. The sleeves stopped at her elbows, where fingerless white gloves that reminded her of spiderwebs covered her hands, and the back went down into a sharp V to the small of her back, covered with a lace mesh.
Rubies decorated the skirt to make the three headed dragon of House Targaryen, and she wore a ruby necklace as well. On the bodice was rubies decorating in the patterns of flames, and she wore white sandals on her feet.
Her white-gold hair was up in a complicated braid, the rest flowing down her back.
There would be no maiden cloak but a white veil. Jacaerys would becoming Prince Jacaerys Blackfyre Targaryen after all.
"It is a beautiful gown." Arianne said. She was garbed in a turquoise and gold gown. "Anything else?"
She had married Daemon Sand, now Daemon Allyrion Martell, three years ago, and had a baby girl named Jessica.

"Tell our dear cousins to save me from the bedding ceremony." the Dragon of the Desert said.
Arianne nodded and slipped out of the room. Mellario put the veil on her niece as Oberyn opened the door.
"You look beautiful." Oberyn said, seeing his Targaryen niece dressed up in her wedding gown. Since Rhaegar was dead, her uncle would be escorting her down the aisle. "I wish your mother was here to see you."
(She remembered feeling through her magic, her death magic, three lives snuffing out. Elia, Rhaenyra, and Aegon, gone and dead dead dead.)
Visenya breathed in deeply, recollecting her magic. "So do I." she whispered.
Oberyn offered her his arm, and she took it, leaving the room.
The sept in Sunspear is very different to the Great Sept of Baelor, which she had visited back in King's Landing for the sermons. Like all septs of course, it's seven-sided, and icons of the Seven stand at each wall.
And like the Sept of Baelor, it is flooded with sunlight from the huge windows. But there the similarities end.
While the Great Sept of Baelor had great stone statues of the Seven frozen in austere majesty, huge and towering above the minute humans at their feet, the Dornish have made their gods alive.
The Seven here are carved of wood, and small enough that Visenya could see their faces without having to crane her neck until it aches.
They stand still in mid-motion, with open hands and warm eyes that give her some obscure comfort. Her mother grew up praying to these gods with their kind eyes, and she felt as though they recognise her somehow.
With typical Dornish attitude, the old Rhoynar who first adopted the new faith gave the seven the faces of their old gods, and the tradition has continued all through the centuries.

Each and every one of the Seven had been given aspects of one or more of the old Rhoynish gods of her mother's people, even the Stranger.
And today, the Sept was packed with Dornish lords coming to see the last child of the beloved Princess Elia, married.
Jacaerys stood in a doublet of red and black, hair combed back but still slight spiky, the silver-gold color shimmering softly in the light. His deep violet eyes met her own amethyst purple, and they both smiled.
She was sure he could see her smile under her veil.
Both of them tuned out the Septon's long speech, barely listening. After the speech ended, the septon made the seven-pointed star sign between Jacaerys and Visenya.
"You may unveil the bride." the Septon chocked out. After all, it would be Jacaerys taking the Targaryen name, not Visenya taking the Blackfyre name.
The Black Knight unveiled the Golden Dragon, taking off the veil.
"My lords, my ladies, we stand here in the sight of gods and men to witness the union of man and wife. One flesh, one heart, one soul, now and forever." the Septon declared.
The couple hold hands as they stand side by side, and the septon wraps a crimson ribbon about their joined hands. "Let it be known that Princess Visenya of House Targaryen and Martell and Prince Jacaerys of House Blackfyre are one heart, one flesh, one soul. Cursed be he who would seek to tear them asunder."
He wraps it around their hands for the final time and announces, "In the sight of the Seven, I hereby seal these two souls, binding them as one for eternity."
Then he unravels it, and prompts them to say their vows.
"Father, Warrior, Smith. Mother, Maiden, Crone. Stranger." Jacaerys smiles, looking carefree as he says the words to his bride, and hears back them from her. "I am hers and she is mine, from this day, until the end of my days."
They pause, and then he proclaims the final part of the ceremony in a clear voice. "With this kiss, I pledge my love."
Then the Black Dragon dramatically gave the Sun Dragon a kiss dip, earning whistles and laugher for the crowd.
"Love you Vis." he whispered in her ear once he stopped.
"Jacaerys fucking Targaryen—"
The deep violet eyed prince smirked and picked her up bridle style, laughing with his bride as she demanded to be set down, laughing while she said those words.
They were happy. And nothing would ruin their wedding day.

Infinite Realm: Monsters & Legends
The world has ended, and those worthy of it have received the chance for a new life in a new reality. Zach grew in power and thrived in the post-Framework world. He became a respected leader, a shining example of what it meant to be good. But as the world ended, he had only one thought: to punish the monster that had killed the world long before the Framework ended it. Yet not even with his incredible power was he able to stand against the World Ender. His arrival in the new realty, the Infinite Realm, gives him the chance to grow stronger, to find the monster again—and make it pay. Ryun survived the chaos after the arrival of the Framework by pushing harder than anyone else. He grew in power until he became the most powerful being that had ever walked the planet; but he is hated by the world, called a monster by all others, the World Ender. As the world ends and he steps into a new one, where people stronger than him have lived for centuries, he finds himself lost and without purpose. The only thing that had mattered to him had been lost to him long ago. He truly was the monster that people considered him to be, and he now finds himself wondering if this new reality has a place for someone like him—but he had never been one for lying down and dying without a fight. One world fell to his power, and another might follow. Current schedule: Monday/Wednesday/Friday Join the Discord: https://discord.gg/ncC5Q7H A polished and edited versions of volume 1, 2, and 3 is avaliable on Amazon. Current Volume: 4 Infinite Realm is a story that will follow two main characters at the start, with a few more joining the cast a bit later. The story will be told in two different time periods: past and present up until volume 3. Past chapters take place in the past on Earth, and take form of flashbacks that follow the two as they struggle to survive and grow their powers in the world changed by the Framework. The main story is in the present. This story is a mix of LitRPG and Xianxia, and it will have Classes as well as Cultivation systems. There are two main characters, and a few others that are introduced later. The MC focus will change from volume to volume, with the first being focused on Ryun, and the second on Zach (we are currently in Volume 4). Other MCs will still have chapters dedicated to them, but the focus will be on the main volume MC.
8 720The General Core {The Sphere}
The life cycle in the Sphere is on the brink of collapse because one of its elements, the Dungeons, have been exploited too much by the mortals. The group who created the Sphere already tried and failed with several modifications, because the original computer-like dungeon cores are too inflexible to handle changing approaches. So they try another type of solution – taking souls from other worlds to try to find a solution before the Sphere Cycle breaks down completely. The General was one of the best soldiers of his world, rising from the ranks of a private through Officer School to the highest command with honors. But when his world faced a zombie apocalypse, even that was not enough and he had to make the ultimate sacrifice. Now he is asked for a repeat performance of planning and controlling a dungeon and its spawns in a world that he knows nothing about… But what is the Sphere really? What is that [Xenotic conversion] he has to go through to even enter the Sphere? Something is really strange and he will have to find out what is going on to get to his promised rewards – whatever they will be. Being a soul in a dungeon core means that the General has better chances of finding hints to the truth about the sphere – a knowledge that would help him survive. And no, the sphere is NOT a virtual reality – the key to its secrets is the place where it was physically constructed (Author’s hint). This is a dungeon core story - but there are quite a number of things that I will do differently than common to those stories. 1) I will describe the floors when they are explored, NOT when they are build. Yes, that will mean it will take longer to get to those parts - but I think describing floors both when they are build and when they are explored destroys quite a lot of chances for suspense when adventurers enter the dungeon. After all, if you as the reader already know where the traps are, then you can't really be surprised when the surfacers encounter them. 2) How the world works (and how not) is an integral part of the story, so it will be explained I'm a world-builder first and the Sphere is NOT a regular world (as hinted in the synopsis above). Things will work differently than in your 08/15 default dungeon core stories - as the General and Gunny have already learned in the second arc (and more of that is already scheduled for the next weeks (July/Aug 2019) when the Sky Arrows continue to explore and evaluate that strange dungeon) If you don't like these premises, then I'm sure you'll find a lot of other Dungeon Core stories more to your liking. But if you are interested in more than "Dungeon builds another room and corridor in medieval earth" and are not afraid of a longer and slower story, then go on. I have two more stories in the Sphere, although they both have lower priority than this one: Shaleen the Wanderer (Adventurer, NSFW) (currently on hold after some chapters) Info's on the Sphere (System Docu and Short Stories) (irregular updates when needed) Current Status reports have been moved to a new discord server: https://discord.gg/EaHkXCfm9y

This unending conflict between the Jedi and Sith has brought the Galaxy to the brink of extinction. The sins of war have taken its toll on both sides and the question is no longer who will win but rather who will survive. In the midst of all this unbalance in the force something manifests…something neither dark nor light and it seeks to reclaim the gift that has been squandered by so many for so long.

This begins his journey to overcome many of Hell's trials eventually challenging the Devil himself in order to escape from Hell. Thabo is neither good nor evil as his sole purpose in life is to become one of the most power humans in existence and never have his life taken from him again. His goal draws him to a violent path as he attempts to conquer Heaven, Hell and everything in between.Authors note:I was born and raised in South Africa. Most of my motivation for the story will come from my experiences so despite this being a mainly Asia industry I hope cultural gaps don’t come in the way of readers enjoying my story. I love manga and anime and recently started reading web novels so I was inspired to write my own. Comments are greatly appreciated, thanks and enjoy the story.
