Battle at Rook’s Rest | Dance of Dragons (Fan-Made Animation)

THIS VIDEO CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR SEASON 2 OF HOUSE OF THE DRAGON, although there will be a completely different scenario in the show, this is only how I imagined the fight from the book. Hi! I’m back with another one! Here’s 3 months of hard work, I’m so happy it’s finally done and right on time with the second season of House of the Dragon around the corner. I hope you like it. Ser Criston Cole and the royal army first marched north and laid siege at Rook’s Rest, a black stronghold near Dragonstone. When the lord saw their approach he sent a raven to Rhaenyra, begging for help. For days he watched his fields and villages burning with no response from his queen, until one day a shadow passed over the green army. Rhaenyra had sent not an army, but her former mother by law Rhaenys and her dragon Meleys. As her ancestor had done at the Field of Fire, Rhaenys gleefully began to incinerate Ser Criston’s army, but Aegon had set a trap and Rhaenys had flown right into it. As Rhaenys and Meleys blanketed Ser Criston’s troops with dragon flame, two other dragons rose into the sky - Aemond on Vhagar, and king Aegon himself on the gleaming Sunfyre. To her credit, Rhaenys didn’t flee. Dragons fought dragons and the second sun blossomed in the sky. When the smoke cleared only Aemond and Vhagar stood uninjured, Sunfyre the most magnificent dragon in the world had one of it’s wings almost completely torn from it’s body. Trapped beneath Sunfyre was the king himself, broken and burned so badly in places that his armor had fused onto his flesh. His body survived, but his mind was given over to the milk of the poppy. Meleys had been torn to shreds, and her rider Rhaenys was a pile of ash. #houseofthedragon #danceofdragons #gameofthrones
