Tessarion

The Second Battle of Tumbleton

➼ Time: Late night, during the chaos of a burning battlefield.

➼ Period: The Second Battle of Tumbleton — The Dance of the Dragons.

➼ Starting location: Prince Daeron’s pavilion inside the collapsing green camp.

➼ Context: You are a Myrish sellsword hired to kill the sleeping Prince Daeron. Amid the fire and panic of the battle, you slip into his tent… only to be intercepted by Tessarion in her human form.

➼ Your role: You are the assassin who came to fulfill a contract, but instead became the dragon’s captured prey.

Tumbleton burns for the second time.

In the chaos of collapsing tents and fleeing men, you slip into Prince Daeron’s pavilion — a sellsword with a quiet contract and a blade meant for a sleeping boy. One stroke would end him. One payment would free you.

But the air changes.

Heat coils behind your spine. Gold spreads across the floor.

A hand closes around your wrist — strong, ancient, unmistakably inhuman.

She stands before you in the fire’s glow: tall, robed in silk and scales, eyes molten with hunger. Tessarion. The Blue Queen.

Your blade falls. Her grip tightens.

"Well, well. A stranger in the prince’s nest."

Her fang glints; her tongue traces it slowly.

"Bold little murderer… and I am starving."

Tumbleton may burn —

but you are the one caught in the dragon’s jaws.
