Maekar maneuvered Neferion toward the small fortress, his hands steady on the reins as he focused his thoughts. With a simple mental command, Neferion obeyed, unleashing a torrent of orange and green flames from his massive jaws. The fire cascaded down upon the fortress, the heat so intense that it began to melt ...

Maekar maneuvered Neferion toward the small fortress, his hands steady on the reins as he focused his thoughts. With a simple mental command, Neferion obeyed, unleashing a torrent of orange and green flames from his massive jaws. The fire cascaded down upon the fortress, the heat so intense that it began to melt the stone walls as if they were nothing more than wax. The walls of the pirate stro...

114: Redoing my Life, San Diego Comic Con pt.1

Today was the day—it was time for San Diego Comic-Con. My schedule was packed: the first Invincible panel of the con in the morning, and the evening reserved for what could be one of the biggest announcements of the event—the reveal of Batman Begins and the official announcement of the DCU. Marvel had their own massive panel planned for tomorrow, where they’d likely announce The Avengers ...

113: Redoing my Life, It's Too Cold

“So, it’s done then?” I asked, holding my phone close to my ear as the cold wind whipped around me. My breath escaped in visible puffs, the icy air biting at my skin. The rugged landscape stretched out before me—endless white ice fields under a pale gray sky, dotted with jagged peaks of glaciers in the distance.

On the other end of the line, Mitchell’s voice came thro...

Maekar

Dragonstone

Maekar walked through the shadowed corridors of Dragonstone, the stone walls cold and silent around him. The sound of his boots echoed softly as he made his way to Daenerys' chambers.  

As he reached the entrance, he paused, catching sight of her sitting with her handmaidens.  

112: Redoing my Life, Pre-Production for Batman pt.2

"Gotham has to feel like a patchwork of different eras, a place that’s both modern and decaying. New York and Chicago give us that mix—New York has the density, the grittiness, and Chicago gives us the verticality, the towering skyline," Nolan said as we walked through the corridors of the studio.

We were heading toward the soundstage, where Jensen Ackles was about to do hi...

66: The Son of Ice and Fire, Scrying the Past II

Maekar and Daenerys laid in her chambers in Dragonstone. Moonlight cascaded through the tall, arched windows, casting a silvery glow on their entwined bodies.

Daenerys laid on her side, her nude form a stark contrast to Maekar's muscular frame. Her skin was smooth and unblemished, the color of freshly fallen snow. Her silver-gold hair fanned out across the pillow, a halo of lig...

111: Redoing my Life: Pre-Production for Batman pt.1

I was stretched out comfortably on one of the plush couches in the home theatre of my new apartment. My body sank into the soft velvet cushions, and I relaxed, maybe a little too much for my liking. It was almost too soft. The movie Bridget Jones's Diary played on the screen, but my eyes were half-lidded, drifting between the scenes and the soft, twinkling city lights visible through...

4: Dragonborn Conqueror(ASOIAFxElder Scrolls), Shouting a Castle Down

Rodrick Greyjoy sat up in bed, his head aching from the excesses of the previous night. 'How low the heir of House Greyjoy has been reduced,' he thought bitterly, 'overseeing tax collection from these greenlanders.'

The fury inside him flared hotter as he reflected on his exile to this forsaken land. His father had banished him here, all because he had taken what was rightfully...

3: Dragonborn Conqueror(ASOIAFxElder Scrolls), A Broken Lord

Harald knelt by the river, which he had been told was called the Sevenstreams. The gentle current rippled beneath him as he caught sight of his reflection in the water. His long, sandy-blond hair cascaded over his broad shoulders, and his beard—wild and unruly—framed his face like a lion’s mane. His dark green eyes stared back at him. Despite his rugged appearance, there was a handsomenes...

110: Redoing my Life, More News

What’s Marvel Going to Announce at Comic-Con This Year?

So, last year at Comic-Con, Marvel announced Iron Man 2 and The Incredible Hulk, and Tony Stark appeared in the end of the Incredible Hulk, just like how Nick Fury showed up at the end of Iron Man. This basically confirms they are doing interconnected movies.With both Iron Man 2 on the horizon, which hero do yo...

65: The Son of Ice and Fire, Dragonrider

Daenerys nearly skipped down the hallway toward the chamber housing the Painted Table, her heart light and her mind filled with thoughts of Maekar. Behind her, Lyonel Storm, Maekar’s sworn shield, followed dutifully.

The last two days had been the best of her life. Ever since she had confessed her love to Maekar, and he had returned that love, everything had felt like a dream...

64: The Son of Ice and Fire, Love and Other Things

Maekar and Lyonel faced each other, their breath visible in the cool morning air. The training yard of the Fireguard Barracks was empty except for the two men, surrounded by the quiet clatter of armor and the muted thud of boots on the packed earth. Maekar held his warhammer in a steady grip, his eyes locked on Lyonel, who stood across from him with a sword in one hand and a shield in the other...

109: Redoing my Life, The New Plot

"I can’t believe you managed to get the rights to It from Stephen King," Sam said, shaking his head in disbelief.

"You could’ve at least told me, Danny," Dave added, leaning back in his chair. His tone was half-amused, half-exasperated.

I grinned. "Well, I wanted your reaction to be genuine surprise."

"Well, I was surprised all right," Da...

2: Dragonborn Conqueror(ASOIAFxElder Scrolls), Settling In

Harald woke with a start, his heart pounding in his chest. The memories of his battle with Alduin—the mighty dragon’s death—had twisted into a nightmare, filled with fire and shadows that refused to fade even as he sat up. He took a deep breath, trying to steady himself, and his gaze fell on his ebony armor and battleaxe, both resting on the table before him. The familiar sight grounded h...

108: Redoing my Life: Greenlight

“Ah, there’s my CCO!” Dave said with a wide smile as I entered his office. He stood up from behind his desk, pulling me into a one-handed hug.

“Hello, head of DC Studios, David Rickman,” I replied in the same tone, hugging him back.

I looked at him, smiling. “You look good, Dave. You did it.”

“Thank you, Danny. I could’ve neve...

63: The Son of Ice and Fire, The Prince that was Promised

Rhaenys walked through the dimly lit corridors of Maegor's Holdfast, the soft crunch of her boots echoing against the cold stone floor. Ser Jaime Lannister followed closely behind, his presence silent but constant, a shadow that had been by her side since her return to the Red Keep. They were headed to her father’s chambers for dinner, a request he had made numerous times, and one she had con...

62: The Son of Ice and Fire, The Crippled Dragon

Aegon walked toward the Iron Throne. The vast throne room echoed with his steps, empty and cold, amplifying the sound of his boots striking the stone floor. The Iron Throne loomed ahead, its jagged swords and twisted iron glinting menacingly in the dim light. It was an object that had haunted him since childhood—once something he had feared, now something he was determined to claim.<...

107: Redoing my Life, Locked In

I stood in front of a very nondescript building in a part of the city I had never been to before. There weren’t many people around, the streets almost eerily quiet. 

So, why was I here? I was on a date—well, a second date—with Margot, who I had asked out two weeks ago. She had accepted, and we had a nice evening out at a great restaurant. It was such a good time, in ...

106: Redoing my Life, Almost Dark Souls

"This is good," I said, looking at the design for the equipment menu displayed on the screen in front of us. We were in what John and the other employees at Arcaneum called the "thinking room." It was basically a conference room with a large table and a few chairs.

John, Matt, and I were gathered here, waiting for a few more people to arrive for a small demo of Dark Souls. John...

61: The Son of Ice and Fire, Cersei

Maekar

Red Keep

Maekar stood in the corridors of the Red Keep, his gaze fixed on the garden below, where Cersei Lannister sat with her servants and handmaidens, who stood a few paces away. The soft light of the setting sun bathed the scene in a warm glow, casting long shadows across the perfectly manicured hedges and flowers.

Maekar

Kingswood

Maekar did not plan this excursion into the Kingswood.

Their group rode leisurely through the dense greenery of the Kingswood, the path ahead winding and narrowing as it led them deeper into the forest. He rode at the front, taking in the landscape, while beside him, Ser Lyonel Storm kept a vigilant watch. Vi...

1 : Dragonborn Conqueror (ASOIAFxElder Scrolls), A Gift from a Mad God

“Fus... Roh... Dah!”

The shout erupted from Harald Stormcrown's throat like a force of nature, shaking the very foundations of Sovngarde. The words echoed across the ethereal landscape, reverberating through the heavens and rattling the ancient stones beneath his feet. It surged forward, slamming into Alduin with the force of a cataclysm.

The colos...

The Spear of Destiny 

That was the title of the first book in the three-book series based on Elden Ring that I planned to write. The events in New York, including my close brush with death, had sparked a surge of creativity within me. I had thrown myself into writing, channeling my experiences into my work. In just four days after returning, ...

59: The Son of Ice and Fire, The Dragon’s Daughter

Rhaenys sat at the head of the table, subtly observing her new handmaidens as they finalized the plans for the feast in honor of the Lannisters, who had arrived in King's Landing just the day before. The chamber buzzed with the soft rustle of silk and velvet, and the quiet hum of conversation blended with the clink of silverware as the women discussed the evening’s arrangements. Despite the l...

103: Redoing my Life, Murder in the Fandom pt.3

Beckett and Castle stood by Esposito and Ryan as they briefed them on their latest lead. "We’ve tracked the number that was texting Jennifer, pretending to be Daniel," Esposito said. "It’s registered to a 60-year-old woman named Ann Smith. She lives in an apartment complex on East 72nd Street."

Castle raised an eyebrow. "A 60-year-old woman? That’s… older than I expecte...

102: Redoing my Life, Murder in the Fandom pt.2

Daniel sat down in the room assigned to him at the convention center, feeling the weight of the day bearing down on him. He had been signing books and meeting fans since the morning, and he had a Q&A session scheduled next. The constant interaction and the noise of the crowd had left him with a throbbing headache, but he did his best to hide it. The last thing he wanted was to ruin the expe...
