Lighbringer

30 days and 30 nights, a sword was forged to bring light to the world, and the sword was shattered. 50 days and 50 nights, a sword was forged to bring light to the world, and the sword was shattered. 100 days and 100 nights, a sword was forged to bring light to the world, and the sword burned bright. Lightbringer is the sword forged by Azor Ahai to defeat the army of the Great Other, the god of darkness, cold, and death. A thousand years later, the Others return to bring darkness to the world, but the world was already dark. Westeros is in turmoil, war erupts, the dragons return, and families of great houses are destroyed. Azor Ahai reborn is here, but no-one knows who, but once revealed, the wielder of the blade will unite a world torn by broken trust, and trust will once again bring light to a dark world.

A Dance with Dragons Questions

Through my reading of the entire A Song of Ice and Fire series, there are a few questions I still have:

Who is Azor Ahai reborn?
It is believed that Stannis Baratheon is Azor Ahai reborn, his sword Lightbringer, Melisandre's claim, and Stannis's dragon blood are his only claims.

Daenerys Targaryen is also a likely possibility. She is of the dragon blood, and is unscathed by fire; Aemon Targaryen believes her to be Azor Ahai reborn, as a dragon has no gender.

Jon Snow is my personal most likely contender. Melisandre has only seen him in her fires, Jon has a dream where he fights the White Walkers with a burning red sword in his hand. There is a theory that Jon is actually the son of Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark, and Eddard made a promise to Lyanna that he would raise the boy as his own, this would mean he would have the dragon blood within him. Jon chose his duty to the Night's Watch over his love for Ygritte. He indirectly caused her death by warning Castle Black of the incoming wildling raid. Similar to Azor Ahai sacrificing  Nissa to complete Lightbringer, thus I believe Jon to be Azor Ahai reborn.

Victarion Greyjoy is another possibility. Although he is not of the dragon blood, a ritual was performed at sea, which provided the salt and the smoke. He also beat his previous wife to death, which is a connection to Nissa Nissa.

Azor Ahai completing Lighbringer by sacrificing Nissa Nissa.



What is "Griff's Motivation?
Griff's identity is actually Jon Connington, a personal friend of Rhaegar Targaryen, who is believed to gave drank himself to death. Instead he has raised Rhaegar's surviving son Aegon so he could one day take the Iron Throne, but why is Jon doing this? It was implied that Jon actually fell in love with Rhaegar, as Jon often refers to Rhaegar as his "silver prince," this is strengthened by his disdain for Elia Martell, Rhaegar's wife. It is stated that Griff has failed the father, but he will not fail the son, but I believe there is something more going on, but I don't know what.

How did Maegor the Cruel die?
Although this is before the book's time, one question I often wonder is how Maegor I Targaryen died. Maegor was the son of Aegon the Conqueror by Visenya and was the third Targaryen king to sit on the Iron Throne. He was one of the greater Targaryen warriors, he was even larger than his father at a young age, but his rule was not peaceful. He had many polygamous marriages, and sired many still-born monsters, and he often executed those who defied him. After rebellion started and many of his supporters left him, he was left a broken man. He was left alone to brood on the Iron Throne, but the next morning they found him dead with his wrists slit. Some say he was killed by one of his kingsguard, most say the Throne itself killed him, as the throne is made of swords. It is most likely that he had killed himself by slitting his own wrists on the blades of the throne and left himself to bleed out, but it is still unknown how he was killed.

Maegor I Targaryen, third King of Westeros, often called "Maegor the Cruel."

Savage Messiah explains A Dance with Dragons

1. Insurrection Rising:
Never mind the black horizon
Never mind the approaching storm
No regard for losing pace
No sympathy this time

Fight!
Unite!
Unmitigated fury
Rise!
Despise!
Vindication as the insurrection rise

• The black horizon describes the Drogon, the black dragon that blocks out the sky. The approaching storm refers to the ironborn capturing the north. No regard for losing pace refers to Daenerys Targaryen staying in Meereen. Fight, unite, unmigated fury refers to the rebellion against House Baratheon whose saying is Ours is the Fury.

2. Corruption X:
You swear your life upon the cross
False idols, you would believe
Defiler of the truth
Come forth to me

• This entire verse refers to how many use the gods for their own personal gain.

3. In Absence Of Liberty:
A world held hostage to its god
Ever searching for reprieve
Expendable to the machine
Trapped completely cannot leave

• This verse explains that once in the game of thrones, you cannot quit the game.

4. The Serpent Tongue of Divinity:
 Wrath and perdition directed by wisdom
Now forced to your knees to reap basic needs
What’s right or wrong? It’s just a vision
Mankind created just like your prison cell

• I believe this refers to Stannis Baratheon believing himself to be Azor Ahai reborn.

5. Vigil of the Navigator:
 To see the damned returning and face the disconcerting
Reveals within
The key to self-destruction born out of blind instruction
Distorting true

• This refers to the White Walker hordes fighting against the Night's Watch.

6. Enemy Image (Dehumanization):
 Masters of elimination
Killers of control
They’re bred in violence
Death in their soul and with its instigation
Propaganda’s heart
Strength born from severance
Now fear dehumanize

• The Unsullied soldiers are perfectly explained in this verse, they are the best soldiers in all of the world.

7. Silent Empire:
To build a silent empire
Mired by disgrace
The vacant shadows raise your throne
To mitigate your soul

They scream my name over again
They are invisible and ingrained

• This describes the burden of Daenerys building her own army and gaining the trust of the people of Meereen.

8. The Nihilist Machine:
Rising through the land of the blind
To serve the one-eyed king
Subordination of your subconsciousness
Enslaved by culture and pursuit of success

Wreathed in sadness soulless prevail
Wisdom conceived in lies

• If one is not loyal to the king Baratheon, even if he speaks falsely, they will be punished.

9. He who Laughs Last:
Fight!
Into eternity fall
Fight!
Obscured delusion contorts

Forsaking final agony
To remove total disparity

Into new seclusion
Born out of resurrection
To smote my only enemy
And so he who laughs last
Becomes the vindicated
Eradicates the fallacy

• War never ends in their world, The Stranger is the only one laughing.

10. Zero Hour:
The day has come, The lies are gone
The weakness cries, The sky undone
And all abound, To which lay waste
As reasons lost and in their place

Memories are tainted
The lines that crack the sky
The march to depravation
Assuring no one with their

Words of solace
Cast to the fire
All is lost
With words untrue
They wait in line for the

ZERO HOUR
ZERO HOUR - They wait in line for the
ZERO HOUR
ZERO HOUR - They wait in line for the
ZERO HOUR

• I believe this explains that all the conflicts in the story will bring the world to an end, no more lies, dragons tear the sky apart, armies slaying each other, and the coming of Azor Ahai reborn(which I believe to be Jon Snow.)

 

Obama takes on the United Nations(Game of Thrones style)

(This is in no way real, I am creating a news article that relates to the conflict of the novel A Dance with Dragons.Also I have nothing against Obama, this was just for fun.)

Obamacare was finally approved. We discover Obama doesn't care.

 

 Obama knows that he can't run a third term, so he decides to take over the world instead. He believes he is the son of God and conservatives and others dismiss this claim by saying he is black. Many leaders of the world have been killed by treachery and deceit, all in the name of House Obama. Joe Biden has escaped from captivity and is actively being hunted, he is likely using an alias. Across the sea, the monarchy of Britain seeks to reclaim their thirteen colonies and expand upon them. They run a P.M.C. that is highly organized and loyal, called the 41st Legion of Shock-troopers, they will stop at nothing to achieve victory.
In the north, armies have been slain by the thousands and small villages have been slaughtered. Recently there was attack on the waters of the Hudson, it became known as the "Battle of Hudson Bay."
Our world is in chaos and we may never recover from all this tragedy, but we can all hope for a brighter future moving forward.

The Witcher: The Lesser Evil

 

The Last Wish has multiple chapters entitled the lesser evil, which I believe is the most important message to take from the novel. It is also clearly stated by Geralt and a character named Renfri:
"Geralt," she said, "did Stregobor ask you to kill me?"
"Yes. He believed it was the lesser evil."
"Can I believe you refused him, as you have me?"
"You can."
"Why?
"Because I don't believe in a lesser evil."
"You don't believe in it, you say. Well your right, in a way. Only Evil and Greater Evil exist and beyond them, in the shadows, lurks True Evil. True Evil, Geralt, is something you can barely imagine, even if you believe nothing can still surprise you. And sometimes True Evil seizes you by the throat and demands that you choose between it and another, slightly lesser, Evil."
"What's your goal here, Renfri?"
"Nothing. I've had a bit to drink and I'm philosophizing. I'm looking for general truths. And I've found one: lesser evils exist, but we can't choose them. Only True Evil can force us to such a choice. Whether we like it or not."

The Witcher

The Witcher, Geralt of Rivia: Geralt is known also as Gwynbleidd (Elder Speech meaning "The White Wolf", a name which was given to him by the dryads), as well as the Butcher of Blaviken.

  

The Last Wish: Introducing the Witcher by Andrzej Sapkowski and translated by Danusia Stok is a story about a monster slayer who travels to different realms(kingdoms) in search of work.
If I suggested this to a friend, I would summarize the plot as follows:

• Geralt of Rivia is the protagonist. He is a mutant who underwent rigorous training as a child and eventually graduated form the Wolf School of the Witchers at the fortress of Kaer Morhen, in the realm of Kaedwen.
• A witcher is a mutant that slays monsters such as strigas, nekkers, drowners, nercophages, bullvores, trolls, arachas, endregas, wraiths, bruxas, and specters. Witchers do not slay dragons, but will if they must.
• There are four known schools of witchers: The Cat School, The Wolf School, The Viper School, and the Griffin(or Gryphon) School.
• The world is made up of many realms such as Temeria, Redania, Aedirn, Kaedwen, and the empire of Nilfgaard.
• The chapters in the novel consist of themes that Geralt will learn and grow to understand their meaning. The Lesser Evil and the Voice of Reason are the prominent themes.
• It is a very mature read, but the read is well worth it.

The book thus far is amazing, it shows Geralt Roger Eric de Haute Bellegarde, I mean Geralt of Rivia, in all of his glory. Transitioning from the game to the book was not complicated at all, the game portrays Geralt much like he was in the book, and that is what is great about the series.

Assassin's Creed: Why would I even?

Something I quickly want to mention, it would not be good if I was a relative of Ezio Auditore. Nathan Auditore da Firenze doesn't have a ring to it, also Ezio would most likely beat the living hell out of me. I also can't stand those who abuse their authority, and during this time that was commonplace. Also the music would suck, Metal didn't exist, that means no Disturbed, no MetallicA, no Judas Priest, no Pantera, no nothing. The clothes would be too fancy for my tastes and there would be nothing to do, no activities that don't have me working. Lastly, Giovanni Auditore(father), Federico(brother), and Petruccio(brother) were all executed for treason against the city, and chances are I would be with them. I think I'll stick with my heavy metal and no noose around my neck thank you very much.

I think this is what I would look like, because reasons.
