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 stronghold buckled an...

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 stronghold buckled and twisted under the dragon's fury, the very air around them shimmering with the hea...

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 and reveal its cast. I knew Scarlett would be here tomorrow, but today was all about us. Even though...

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 through clearly despite the occasional static. “Yeah, everything’s sorted. We’ve trademarked the t...

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.  

Daenerys sat gracefully by the large window, her silver hair cascading down her back, il...

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 his screen test for Batman.

"I agree," I nodded, thinking about Gotham’s atmosphere...

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 light against the dark fabric. Her breasts were full and round, their peaks still taut from their recen...

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 the enormous windows.

It wasn’t the kind of movie I usually watched, but I hadn�...

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 his—his brother's Lannister salt wife. She had been meant for him, but his ambitious, grasping br...

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 handsomeness to his face—a mixture of strength and calm that drew people in, even in this new world.

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

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. She had been battling these growing feelings since she arrived in King's Landing. No… since she ...

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.

The match began with Lyonel advancing first, his shield raised, his sword held lo...

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," Dave muttered, still processing it all.

“It got us the greenlight and the budget we ask...

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 him, the dark sheen of the armor reflecting the early morning light filtering through the window.

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 never gotten here without you,” he said, his voice filled with gratitude.

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 consistently avoided until now. Tonight, however, she relented.

Her gaze shifted brief...

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.

His body felt strong, his limbs steady. No limp, no pain. His hands flexed with...
