Chapter 15: The Fire's Whisper
The Grass Sea lay under a night sky where stars glared down like cold sentinels, the air charged with a tension that crackled through the khalasar's restless murmurs. Dean Winchester sat by a small, isolated fire, the leather of his leggings scuffed and stained from the day's sparring, the ache where a Dothraki lance had pierced his chest fading into a pleasant buzz of stat gain.
The fire's heat warmed his face, the scent of burning grass mingling with the metallic tang of blood still clinging to his skin, and the runes glowed blue at his vision's edge, a constant pulse of his progress. Mirri's warning about fire echoed in his mind, a riddle he couldn't shake, while Daenerys's obsession with the eggs drew his focus, their mystery a pull he felt in his gut.
Fire and eggs? Sounds like a bad omelet.
He muttered the quip, a half-laugh breaking the silence, and tossed a pebble into the flames, the sizzle a sharp counterpoint to the night's hush. The khalasar's unease pressed against him, a living thing, and he rubbed his neck, the tic a shield against the growing dread. Dany's tent loomed in the distance, a pale shape against the dark, her resolve a beacon he couldn't ignore.
[SYSTEM ALERT: HOST KILLED. KILLER: Dothraki Warrior #20. REWARD: +1 STRENGTH.]
He stared into the flames, the new strength a warm surge in his limbs, and flexed his fingers, feeling the power settle. The kill replayed—lance caving his chest, blood spraying in a crimson arc, then a precise arakh strike—leaving him detached but dominant, a machine honed by the grind. He wiped his hands on his leathers, the texture rough, and let the satisfaction linger, though the cost gnawed at him. His chest ached faintly, a ghost of the wound, and he shifted, the leather creaking.
Daenerys supervised a crew of Dothraki stacking wood and dry grass into a large ceremonial mound, the pyre's shape taking form under her direction. The air grew thick with the scent of sap and earth, the wood's grain telling a story of storms and forgotten hands, and she clutched the three dragon eggs like a lifeline, her expression resolute. She was no timid bride now, but an architect of something terrible, her silver hair a flag in the firelight. She's going full-blown Targaryen on me. This is where the magic gets messy.
A grim-faced Ko approached, his voice low in Dothraki, and she answered with cold clarity, her tone an order, not a request. Her eyes sought Dean, a single hard nod passing between them—a trust, a resolve that steadied her. He is my shield. The nod lingered, a weight he carried with pride, and he straightened, the fire's heat warming his legs.
Movement near the pyre caught his eye, and Mirri Maz Duur knelt, crushing herbs that released a sickly sweet smell, her chant a low buzz vibrating in his teeth. The sound grated, a spell weaving power into the inert pile, and he approached, hands shoved into his pockets, his steps deliberate.
This better not blow up, witch.
His voice was gruff, a challenge masked by humor, and he stopped a pace away, the heat from the pyre warming his legs. Mirri paused, her head turning slowly, her shadowed eyes filled with ominous certainty, the scent of herbs cloying in the air.
Fire wakes what sleeps.
Her words hung heavy, a prophecy that chilled him, and she resumed her chant, the rhythm steady and relentless.
[SYSTEM ALERT: MIRRI MAZ DUUR'S RITUAL DETECTED. MAGIC LEVEL: HIGH. RISKS: UNQUANTIFIABLE. BLOW UP? DRAMATIC. BUT PROBABLE.]
The System's jab cut through his unease, a sarcastic lifeline, and he rolled his eyes, stepping back as the chant wove tighter. She's not trying to save anyone. She's calling the damn lightning. The thought struck him, a cold jolt, and he glanced at Dany, her resolve absolute, a queen rising against sense. He rubbed his weary face, the motion slow, and felt the pyre's power grow.
Dany's conviction shone, a beacon in the night, and Dean muttered, resigned,
Fire's trouble, princess.
The eggs pulsed faintly, their promise a shadow, and the pyre loomed closer, a test of their bond he couldn't avoid. The chant's buzz filled the air, a rhythm that synced with his heartbeat, and he stood rooted, the heat searing his skin.
The fire crackled, the khalasar's murmurs fading, and Dean sat by the blaze, picking at a loose thread on his sleeve, the motion a quiet pause. Across the way, Rakharo sharpened his arakh, the steel singing softly, and Dean nodded, a silent respect passing between them. The thread snapped, falling into the dirt, and he brushed it away, the gesture a small act of calm in the storm.

The HUD flared, a crystalline matrix of light that bathed him in blue, the runes crackling like embers. He dismissed it with a thought, the weight of the quest settling deeper, and stared at the pyre, the heat a promise of change.
