《The Sun Dragon》Hatching dragons
Advertisement
"Are you sure about this?" Jacaerys asked his wife.
They were standing in a private courtyard, waiting for the blood moon to come. A pyre stood ready, the eggs placed in it.
Varys little birds would not find them, since children who were not of Martell blood were not allowed in the private apartments of House Martell.
Which meant it was very easy to identify Varys little birds and control the information they got.
Just in case, the Golden Dragon had enchanted the courtyard so no one could see them and another enchantment to keep people away from the courtyard until the ritual was over.
"Yes." Visenya said, holding the book in her hands.
According the Book of Dragons, Valyrians, if dragons went extinct, the Valyrians used sources from the sky to hatch dragons. Comets, stars, the sun, the moon, blood moons, blue moons, and constellations.
And since it would be a blood moon tonight, if everything went as the ritual explained, the dragon eggs would hatch.
The Black Dragon knew of her past life as the Girl Who Lived. He knew she could hide the dragons under illusions.
Of course, Oberyn, Doran, Mellario, Arianne, Quentyn, Ellaria, Aaron, and the Sand Snakes knew what the two were doing.
Jacaerys and Visenya weren't going to hatch Elia and Aeryn's dragons yet. Maybe in a year or two, they would.
"Here it is." Jacaerys muttered as the blood moon began to rise.
The Dragon of the Desert quickly cast a fire spell to light the pyre and began to chant the words.
The fire suddenly surged and several cracking sounds were heard and the fire stopped. And four baby dragons sat in the pyre.
"We did it." the Sun Dragon beamed at her husband.
"We did." Jacaerys said, picking her up and spinning her around as the dragons joined them, flying around the white-gold haired princess and the last of the Blackfyre line.

Glitched! Uplift Arc
[Winner of the April 22 Royal Road Writathon Challenge] In 2202 the System reached Earth. Thankfully it had learnt from previous uplifts and implemented an introductory arc to acclimatise the new participants rather than chucking them in the deep end. The previous practice of just dumping unsuspecting beings into a System designed for the growth of the multiverse had led to catastrophic and sub-optimal results. The return on investment was abysmal. That old trope was so over-cooked - after nearly extinguishing itself through negative returns new policy was required. That was 356 trillion local years back. Now over 5600 successful uplifts had joined the ranks of the multiverse. But the System was always learning, always growing. Still there were glitches. Mostly minor. Mere irritants really. Sometimes even they were catalysts, triggering a fresh expansion. Soon the System would understand why. Our Earth was 7912th. - Ascend - Battle - Challenge - Dominate - Expand - Gro... - Glor... - Where’s the eff word? - Glitch... File corrupted. ---END SYN---

This book is COMPLETELY FINISHED as of 3/10/22, with a sequel currently serializing HERE. Born a fire mage, destined for something greater. For hundreds of years, Sombria has lived in peace thanks to the delicate balance the Council fosters between those with magic and those without. But unrest is brewing under the surface of Sombria, and the Council's tenuous hold may be on the verge of collapsing. All Alara ever wanted was to become a soldier, fighting to protect Sombria from the bruya rebels that threaten its borders with their chaotic magic and lawlessness.

Quenti, raised to hate the oppressive thumb of the Council, has only ever wanted a life of peace away from those who wish to control her. When her abilities are revealed, she finds herself at the center of a world she grew up despising, where magic is suppressed under the illusion of control. And her only means of escape may lie in trusting those she grew up doubting most. When Alara is given one final chance to prove she's worthy of being called a Mage of Sombria, the key to her success may lie within the untrusting Quenti. And Quenti doesn't plan on making things easy. Though as their two lives come crashing together, trusting each other may be the only choice they have to survive what's coming. -- COMMENT AND FOLLOW! 📕 This story is completely written, but these postings on Royal Road double as a beta run, so please feel free to point out typos or inconsistencies. 📖 Content Guidelines: Mild language, PG-13-level violence

8 282New Paris [a Modern-day LitRPG]
New Paris [OR] I reincarnated into the world of my favorite wuxia novel as an S ranker with unbalanced skills. [Volume 1] - Completed I was one of those people who only stood out in a crowd when their name was called. Then, I died. But instead of heaven, hell, or anything else, I found myself in the body of a young woman whom I did not recognise at first. You see, I had this novel I was obsessed with. The novel was a fairly popular wuxia that got a few sequels, and a handful of spinoffs. One of these spinoffs took place in Paris, where the main cast fought against a multi-millionaire villain. When I woke up after dying, I eventually realised that I was now the third daughter of this multi-millionaire end-game boss in a spin-off of a sequel of my favourite novel. Does this make any sense to you? Because it doesn't to me. But I guess I might as well make the most of it now. Just gotta stay away from some of the more unstable main characters and cut all ties with my 'family' to avoid certain death. [Volume 2] - Currently Airing It had not been a good idea to interfere with the characters of the original novel. Had I known it was going to cause a butterfly effect, I would have stayed in my lane and minded my business. Although, between the suspicious attacks I seem to constantly find myself in the center of, and my 'family' who is the living definition of the expression 'rich pricks', I’m not entirely sure my current predicament would have been avoidable. But maybe it isn't to be avoided; maybe I should embrace this opportunity that has been given to me and become the hero of this story? At least it's certain that I can't do worse than the original protagonist in terms of moral ambiguity; with immortality already in my pocket, and no other useful skills to account for. However, if I were to follow this path, I would have a lot to lose, including an upcoming promotion and my growing relationship with my crush. With power, glory and whatever else on one side, and my wellbeing and happiness on the other, even in this magical wuxia world, the choice is easy to make.
