Game of Thrones: Viserys the Three-Headed Dragon.

Chapter 136 Information Interpretation
"I remember an ancient oath. Some descendants of the First Men who still follow the ancient traditions would swear in the name of earth and rivers, bronze and steel, ice and fire."

Although she knew that Viserys would not be in a good mood for the time being, Daenerys told him about the Three-Eyed Raven as soon as he returned.

Viserys was also shocked by the huge amount of information, but he quickly gathered his thoughts and got into the state.

"I have never heard such an oath before, nor have I seen it in song or tortoise?" Daenerys asked when she heard Viserys' words.

"The oath of the Marshlanders. They are often mocked by other races in the Seven Kingdoms as 'swamp dwellers, frog eaters, mud men' or 'swamp devils'. Historical legend has it that when the Rhoynar and the First Men were fighting for Westeros, the Greenseer brought a flood to wash the Neck and close the North. The Marshlanders have lived in the marshland ever since. Their relationship with the Children of the Forest is as close as that between the Targaryens and the dragons." The Marshlanders are very ancient and closed. It is rumored that they even wear bronze armor and carry bronze weapons.

"Do you think this is an oath from the Age of Heroes or the Age of Dawn?"

"Yes, earth and rivers, bronze and steel, ice and fire. If what the Three-Eyed Raven said is true, perhaps the foundation of this world is made up of these 'songs'. The truth of magic is 'song'."

Daenerys was acutely aware that Viserys didn't seem surprised. "What do you think of this?"

Viserys thought for a moment, then said, "I'm sorry, Dany, I can't tell you everything until I find a way to prevent your dreams from being spied on. I speculate that the great music mentioned by the Three-Eyed Raven is the source of magic in this world, and 'songs' are the expression of the source of magic. They are the most fundamental part of this world." He began to lie, "I once dreamed of Rhaegar. He was talking to a woman who was breastfeeding a newborn baby. He said, 'The dragon has three heads. The prince in the prophecy, his song is the song of ice and fire.'"

"What does it mean, your song is a song of ice and fire?"

"The Three-Eyed Raven said that it was because my Great Movement was played again, and its melody is hidden in the melody of A Song of Ice and Fire. Dany, every song has a theme. According to what the Red Priest said before, R'hllor, the Lord of Light, who represents fire, and the God of Cold, who represents ice, are fighting a war, and their war will sweep the world, and no one will be spared. So I guess this is the so-called 'melody of A Song of Ice and Fire'. The theme of this struggle was originally the competition between these two gods. And the Great Movement means that the war has expanded."

This is not entirely true, as Daenerys' dreams could be invaded and Viserys does not speak all his thoughts.

Viserys thought of the Ring.

In the creation myth of The Lord of the Rings, the creator god Ilúvatar created the Ainur from his own thoughts and proposed the theme of the music to them. Then all the Ainur participated in the creation of the music. The music of the Ainur was like various harps and lyres, various woodwinds and brass, various violins and organs, and countless choirs singing loudly, and began to compose Ilúvatar's theme into a great movement. The movement they played eventually formed a universe in the void, generated by the songs sung by the Ainur.

The universe unfolds from the music, and the creator god Ilúvatar makes the music visible. This universe is called Ea. In Ea, there is the place where humans and elves live: Arda (Earth). Each of the three major melodies of the Music of the Ainur constitutes a world, and each melody of the Ainur will become the time and matter of the world.

The Void and the Eternal Halls of Ilúvatar are not in One Yar, for there remained the Creator-God and many of the Ainur after the Great Music of the Ainur.

But many Ainur entered the universe created by this Great Music and became the Valar (gods) and Maia (lesser gods) of the world of the Lord of the Rings, and the disputes in the world of the Lord of the Rings arose from this.

The Ainur were not selfless gods. During the creation of the great music, the strongest one mixed in his own selfishness, and others had to sing along with his melody, resulting in the world not being beautiful after its birth. Although there was a 'Melkor' who represented the evil of the world, the conflicts among the races were not all caused by 'Melkor' alone.

It is said that the true creator of this world of ice and fire was deeply influenced by the worldview of the Lord of the Rings, so the "song" and "great music" of this world have different views in Viserys' cognition.

'The Great Music' is the song of creation, and when Viserys uses the phrase 'the Great Music is played anew', the emphasis is not on the Great Music but on 'anew'.

To Viserys, this word meant that the creation of this world might not be complete yet.

It was inexplicably logical that the world of ice and fire was indeed incomplete in Viserys's eyes.

When thinking in this way, when the great movement inexplicably stagnates, the theme of the song of creation becomes chaotic. The gods of this world may be competing for the position of the leader of the great movement, wanting to transform the world into the theme they want.

After thousands and tens of thousands of years, the children of the forest and the green prophets who represented the song of the earth were expelled to the corners of the world, and the music representing the song of the river seemed to be scattered in the hands of different secondary gods and could not be formed. The songs of bronze and steel may represent humans, but the gods of humans have not been born. The world now only has the two most powerful melodies, ice and fire, and their war will determine the future of the world.

Of course, this is just speculation.

Compared to this unverifiable creation theory, Viserys is more concerned about the scene Daenerys described when he first crossed into this world.

Viserys originally thought that after traveling to a new world, all his powers had been confiscated by the previous world, but judging from what Daenerys saw, Daenerys followed the white lightning and saw his complete body. There was no doubt that all his otherworldly magic was in his body as King Old Oak at the very beginning of the journey.

But when he actually arrived, his body as King Ancient Oak and all his magic dissipated in this world, leaving only the otherworldly projection in his soul occupying Viserys's body, which needed to be stimulated by the dragon soul magic of this world.

His dissipated body of King Guliok and the huge otherworldly magic power were dissipated in this world. According to the Three-Eyed Raven, that power played the great melody of this world.

King Gulioke's magic powers are fire, ice, and thunder.

No wonder Viserys had never understood how R'hllor had discovered him so early.

Now there is undoubtedly an explanation, because since the beginning of Viserys's journey, the magic of the fire element, whose body as King Guliok disappeared into this world, has touched R'hllor's "song" and touched His melody. In the same way, the magic of the ice element must have touched the melody of the cold god. No wonder when Daenerys looked to the north under the guidance of the three-eyed raven, Viserys was still wondering why the scene Daenerys saw was more dangerous and terrifying than the scene he remembered Bran saw in the original world line.

Viserys couldn't help but feel the fickleness of fate. The Lord of Light and the God of Cold seemed to have become more powerful than in the original world line because of his time travel.

But there is still one thing that is very strange. Viserys wondered to himself, what power in this world was touched by the lightning magic that dissipated when he first came to this world, and why is there no sign of it until now?

The only thing to be thankful for is that none of the gods in this world are omniscient and omnipotent.

Daenerys asked, "Should we go to the north to find him, Lord Bloodraven? He is our ancestor, right? He means well to us?"

"No, Dany." Viserys paused. "Lord Bloodraven is the Three-Eyed Raven, but the Three-Eyed Raven is not just Lord Bloodraven. He is dangerous, and it is too early to approach him now."

"what?"

"Legend has it that the inheritance of the Greenseer requires accepting the past of the Old Gods of the Weirwood memories. Even if the Duke of Bloodraven is still alive today, he is only a man in his 130s or 140s, but when he became a Greenseer, he received a huge amount of memories spanning thousands or tens of thousands of years. It's still the same question, Dany. When a person receives memories that do not belong to him, and his own memories only account for a small part, is he still himself? Is he still the person you are familiar with?

I am often troubled by this, because I feel that there are actually memories in my mind that do not belong to me after I wake up. But those are actually very few, but you have been with me the longest, and you should know the changes in my personality the most. We should be respectful of memories that do not belong to us. This kind of thing will change our personality, our way of thinking, and everything about us. Try not to touch it and stay true to yourself.

Until we find a way to stop him from reading our memories or putting stuff in our heads, don't touch him."

Daenerys realized the seriousness of the situation and was horrified. "Now that you mention it, he made me see things in my memory in my dream. Those are obviously my memories, but I don't remember those details. My God, he is already stuffing things into my head that I didn't have originally! You are right, brother, we should stay away from him." She couldn't help feeling a little scared and moved closer to Viserys. "Maybe we shouldn't leave Dragonstone. The castle can help us avoid their sight."

Daenerys clearly remembered that when the Three-Eyed Raven first contacted her, the Dragonstone Castle in her vision was a blur. That castle, those black stones...
"The old gods need weirwood as a medium, and the Red God needs priests to pass on information. The Cold God is now isolated outside the Wall." Viserys looked at Daenerys solemnly, "We need to act, Dany. Only when we become stronger can we avoid being swallowed by the coming wave and being used as puppets by the gods. I wanted to ask about the Three-Eyed Raven's attitude before, and now I have found out that he is eager for us to go to the north, which means that his reach is not that long. The South is full of the Seven Gods and lacks weirwoods. This is where we can play a role."

There was one thing Viserys didn't say. He suspected that the Faith of the Seven Gods was the place reserved in the Great Music for the 'song' of mankind. At the very least, this faith should have some other uses. Otherwise, why did the Andals drive the old gods to the north?
And Viserys had some ideas about how to obtain the power of thunder and lightning.

Perhaps he had even come into contact with the gods whose melody was being plucked. Viserys began to suspect Euron the Crow's Eye and the sea monster that attacked Viserys at that time. Their appearance there might not be a coincidence, but like the priests of the Red God, they were driven by some force and were chasing Viserys who was plucking the melody of the gods.

The Storm God, a god with a weak presence in the world of ice and fire, is one of the gods in the Ironmen religion of the Iron Islands. In the mythology of the Ironmen, the Storm God is the eternal enemy of the Drowned God and lives in a hall in the clouds.

The Kingsmoot of the Iron Islands is held in a place called the Grey King's Hall, which is on a mountain called Nagga's Hill on Old Wyk. According to rumors, on that hill is a palace built from the ribs of Nagga, the world's first sea dragon.

Naga is a legendary sea dragon that feeds on sea beasts and giant sea monsters, and can even destroy entire islands when angry.

Legend has it that in the Age of Heroes, the legendary Grey King - all the Ironborn families, including the Greyjoys and Greyirons, claim their bloodline to be from him - killed the largest sea dragon, the Naga, and built the majestic Grey King's Hall with its bones. The fire of the Naga burns in the hall, which never goes out.

Legend has it that the Grey King is the spokesperson for the Drowned God and ruled the Iron Islands for a thousand years before finally walking into the sea, entering the Water Palace and sitting on the seat that should have belonged to him at the right hand side of the Drowned God.

Legend has it that when the Grey King died, the Storm God was impatient to extinguish the fire of the Naga. The Grey King's Hall has since fallen into decay, and the Grey King's throne has been swept into the sea, leaving nothing but the Naga's bones.

The sea dragon Naga may have a close connection with the God of Storms.

Before this, Viserys had never thought that in addition to his inseparable relationship with the Drowned God, Euron might also be related to the Storm God.

Balon Greyjoy is dead, and Euron the Crow's Eye may have survived Viserys's dragon fire and became the new king through the kingsmoot.

With this in mind, Viserys had even more reason to go to the South. No matter what Euron the Crow's Eye's purpose was, he could only do whatever he wanted on the west coast of Westeros, the Sunset Sea.

Euron the Crow's Eye might have traces of the thunder magic that Viserys needs.

And if Viserys guessed correctly, Euron's eyes would be on the Shield Islands in the south. He had ulterior motives and needed a large population and priests of all the gods in the world.

In the godswood of Raventree Castle in the Riverlands, there is an ancient tree said to be as old as the castle tower. Its heart tree is almost dead, and it is so huge that it can be seen from miles away. For thousands of years, hundreds of ravens have roosted in the tree every night. The Blackwood family who live here are the maternal line of the Duke of Bloodraven.

Legend has it that there are many sea monsters and giant sea monsters in the depths of the Sunset Sea, and even the remains of creatures like Naga are still preserved.

There are many magical places in this world, but because the main storyline is never in these places, they are often overlooked.
