Of Fire and Ice

C.86

It took Harley and I four days to cross one side of Fiore to the other on Ari's back. We flew over mountains and landed on a ledge of the highest mountain. "Should we go in and explore?" I asked and Harley and I slid in, Ari right behind us.

We made our way to a huge hall filled with people walking around in black cloaks. There was a commotion in the middle and I peered to see what was happening. There was a large black, polished table with two skeletons on it.

"Is that a resurrection spell?" Harley hissed and my eyes widened. We continued to watch, and eventually needed a closer view, so Harley marionetted two wizards to give us their cloaks and then jump off of the mountain.

We put the cloaks on and told Ari to wait here and joined the crowd, watching the spell do its work. Who could they be resurrecting?

Soon, there was a shimmery light around the skeletons, and pale flesh began to form around them as the bones grew healthier. The shimmer turned into a blinding light, and I had to look away. Harley gripped my sleeve and the light dimmed down.

I looked back and saw Cersei and Viserys Targaryen alive and whole. They looked around in confusion and naked, and someone handed them robes, which they hurriedly put on. "Viserys, what is this?" My mother asked. "I'm not sure, Cersei." My father said, and Harley and I had to physically restrain ourselves from running to them and giving ourselves away.

"Now, we need the girls." A gravelly voice said and a man pulled down his hood. "Amycus." Mom said, looking at the man. "What is happening?" She asked. "We just resurrected you. Welcome to the new Shadow Flame guild. Would you mind helping us find your daughters?" He gave a wicked smile.

"It depends." Dad said. He had a strong voice, very authoritative. "What do you want with Harley and Henley?" He asked.

"Just to reunite your family again." He hissed and Cersei laughed. "If I didn't know you better, Amycus, I would've agreed." She said and his face grew frustrated.

She stepped down and started wandering, looking at each of the members faces. She noticed Harley and I, but kept silent. I saw Harley start to do a spell, and none of us stopped her.

"Marionettes. Stay." She said and everyone froze. "Let's get out of here." She said and we turned and ran down the hallway.

"Girls, it is so good to see you..." Dad started. "I love you, but reunion time later." I said and Harley and our parents got on Ari's back and I protruded my wings and flew alongside them. "Let's land... there." I called and Ari landed on a ledge a ways away from the mountain.

I pulled my hood down and freed my hands. "Harley, do you remember the spell I used to set the sky on fire?" "Yeah." "That was only the first verse. Do you want to see what happens when I sing the whole song?" I asked with a smirk, outstretching my hands to the mountain.
