Baelon looked at the creature with a shocked face, "What in the seven hells is that?!" He exclaimed, "Some monster?!"
Vhagar was reacting strangely to this as it slowly stepped back, snarling viciously at the Drake that slowly walked towards them.
Mya was smiling, "The Guardian of the Darkwood." She said, "Lord Drakken's creation. He is a magnificent creature, crafted from the blood of the Cannibal and harnessed the power of a Greenseer by bonding several animals into itself. It is a true guardian deity, given the role of protecting the Tower. And right now, Prince Baelon, you are in its territory."
The Drake slowly lowered its head, glaring right at Vhagar as the dragon raised its head and let out a roar. Surrounding the drake, there were several glowing orbs that floated in the air, emitting red electricity that Baelon found unsettling.
"This is...." He said, "This is not normal.."
The Prince began to steer Vhagar away to try to fly away, something told him that this was not an ordinary creature that he wanted to engage in battle. As the massive dragon began to take off, the Guardian immediately pounced, snarling loudly.
"Oh...." Mya said as the Drake roared
The Guardian then lunged at Vhagar, crashing into her violently as the massive dragon hit the ground. Baelon thrashed around as he held on for dear life.
"W-what?!" He said, "What power!!!"
The Drake then got on top of Vhagar, behind Baelon, and stomped its claws on her. It then let out a roar as the red orbs floated all over the dragon's body and within a split second, several bolts of red lightning struck the flying beast hard.
Vhagar let out a pained roar as she immediately got up and threw the drake off. The Guardian hit the ground and shook its head, immediately jumping back onto Vhagar and biting into her back. Vhagar, being much larger, shook it off immediately and fired a massive stream of flames at it. The flames hit the Drake and pushed it onto the ground as a serious explosion detonated.
"Hells...!!!" Baelon said, "We have to get out of here, what the hell was that attack right now?!"
The Prince then watched as the Drake jumped out of the flames, seemingly unfazed and lunged at Vhagar yet again. The dragon instinctively tackled the creature hard, sending it crashing into the ground right away.
"Fly, Vhagar!!!" Baelon commanded in High-Valyrian
The dragon immediately took off, flapping her wings as the Drake straightened up and let out another roar-howl, detonating several lightning bolts around it that caused small explosions. The creature's eyes were piercing the dragon as it slowly flew away into the sky.
"A bit disappointing." Mya said with a smile, "But considering that it scared off Vhagar of all dragons, it means that our Guardian is a fearsome beast. Lord Drakken would be most pleased."
The Guardian began to walk and pace around in the field as it watched the dragon slowly ascend to the sky, growling and snarling as it did not take its eyes from Vhagar. Several red orbs began to emerge from its spines, crackling with red electricity.
Mya leaned on the wall she stood next to, "A draconic creature crafted from the body of a massive wolf with the eyes of a hawk, turned into those of a dragon, a hive of fireflies on its spines that harness lightning, and the blood of an enhanced dragon." She said with a smile, "It is a beautiful creation, worthy of displaying our God's ability to create life....."
The Guardian stopped and let out another roar-howl, releasing more lightning fireflies and detonating more lightning bolts that struck the ground. It was safe to say that it was agitated and despite taking the easy victory, it was yearning for more battle.
Mya still smiled, "At ease, child." She said with a chuckle, "The time will come when you will fight as much as you desire."
"You will destroy the Targaryens' dragons."

[Oldstones, Riverlands]
Drakken sat on a wooden stool, looking down at a golden coin in his hand, flipping it through its fingers.
Behind him, through the broken stone wall, there were flames visible. The flames were caused by a serious battle that had just taken place. The sounds of Drakken's men were heard, roaring in victory.
Drakken did not partake that much in the battle, he simply allowed his men to take care of it. He did in fact enchant them with his blessings, giving them the ability to overtake any battle that came at them.
This was the third day of the battle, more and more waves of soldiers were being sent and his men did not have that many casualties and this alarmed House Tully. Drakken's men were slaughtering any enemy that was being thrown at him.
Now, Drakken was simply sitting in a wooden stool, looking at the golden coin.
"So...." He said as there was a bit of blood on his cheek, "You are still going to feign ignorance?"
He looked to see the Greenseer from before, being hanged by his feet with a rope from the top of the ceiling. The man was badly beaten, severely cut up, and covered in blood. He was barely conscious, his single eye was open and looking at Drakken.
"I..." He said coarsely, "I do not know of who you speak of....."
"Old, shriveled up, fused to a tree..." Drakken said seriously, "White hair and a red eye, he is also a Targaryen."
"No....Greenseer by that description exists....that I..know of...." he said weakly
"Lies." Drakken said with annoyance, "That fucker was spying on me...."
"I swear....on the old gods that I do not know..." He said
"Fuck your gods..." Drakken spat, "Who is this Greenseer? What is his deal? He had an unbelievable amount of green magic..."
"I....do not know..." the man said
Drakken flicked his wrist and the man's head was sliced off, falling to the floor with a disturbing thud.
"Hmph." Drakken said with an angry tone,
"Nobody knows nothing..."
