Bonus material for Deep Dream’s court!!! yay

characters in these drawings come from this post

I designed their embassy properly n also decided Shardium should have a cluster in her lab. She is keping them on hand n case she finds suitable parts for them to rebuild their body. It’s not an easy process at all. Again like I said before feel free 2 ask questions or draw these gems if youd like to (pls credit me if you do) I will gladly share them :)

Next Chapter

Chapter Summary: Daemon and Freyja are meant to be wed three weeks ago. However it often gets delayed due to Freyja's business endeavors in the north. Which leads to a heated debate with her step mother Alyssa Mormont.

[Daemon's point of View]

The room was large, open and spacious stretching out in a circular tower. Each floor of the tower had its walls lined with bookshelves filled with books of ancient tomes to fictional tales lined against them. The ornate stairs twisting in the center to traverse between each floor of the tower.

Plush soft armchairs were scattered placed back to back around the room to provide comfort while they read books in the library. The library also had stained glass windows in varied colours and tones. Thick dark purple rugs on the floor underneath the dark wooden tables.

The ceiling between each floor had a light blue sky with clouds painted onto each one, ranging to dawn to sunset sky painted onto each one. Light blues morphed into ethereal golds, and the soft blush of dawn dissolved into the fiery reds of sunset.

We sat in the armchairs on the second floor of the library, as we spoke about the arranged marriage between Freyja and myself. However, things didn't exactly line up as I would have liked it to be. I paced around the library, she wasn't here and in her place, Alyssa was there instead.

"She won't be here until she comes back from her business venture." Alyssa stated, "So you have plenty of time before she returns."

"Business venture? Is that what she calls wandering off for a week to get chunks of ice?" I replied.

"She says there is a name for them, but I never remember what the technical name for it." Alyssa replied. "She also says its incredibly rare and hard to find more than three chunks from each ore vein."

The Glacium Shardium, its iridescent blue colours and hues. A light white misty fog breathe from the vein in coffins left bare and cracked open to the elements of the harsh snow. A piece sat in a dark wood and glass display case against the end of a bookshelf near the staircase.

I wasn't sure about this, she was always a wild child growing up. And even worse, she was a woman who was known for her independent and adventurous spirit. I can't even begin to imagine how difficult it would be to tame her. I knew her to be incredibly passionate about everything, from her studies to her fighting skills to her love of dragons.

"I'm not sure I'm the right man for her," I said. "She's so different from me. I'm more of a traditional kind of guy. I like to stay in one place and build a life. She's always on the go, exploring new things. I don't know if I can keep up with her."

"I know what you mean, she can be pretty full on for anyone who doesn't expect it," Alyssa agreed, "She can also be seen as rather wild due to her extensive amount of energy and high endurance."

I still remember what she was like growing up, climbing trees, running through the forest, swimming in the river and getting into all sorts of trouble.

"She got into more trouble than anyone I knew, Aegon II pales in comparison when it comes to troublemaking," Daemon said. "I still remember the time she snuck out of the castle to go swimming in the middle of the night. She got caught by the guards and was grounded for a month."

"That's nothing," Alyssa said. "The time she stole a dragon egg from the dragonpit and tried to hatch it in her room? That was something else."

Daemon laughed. "I remember that. She was so disappointed when it didn't hatch."

"She was heartbroken," Alyssa said. "She really wanted a dragon of her own. Poor thing cried for months, until one day she found Reshiram."

"Reshiram?" Daemon asked. "The white dragon?"

"Yes," Alyssa said. "She was out exploring the mountains when she came across a cave. Inside the cave, she found Reshiram, injured and alone. She took the dragon back to her room and nursed it back to health. They've been inseparable ever since."

"Yeah, ever since started "The Dragon's Den?" Daemon asked. "What's that?"

"It's a marketplace for rare items," Alyssa explained. "Freyja started it a few years ago to provide a safe and legitimate place for people to buy and sell magical artifacts. It's been very successful, and she's made a lot of friends through it."

"That's impressive," Daemon said. "I didn't know she was so business-minded."

"She can't sit still, she never could," Alyssa said. "She's always got to be doing something. That's why she started "The Dragon's Den" in the first place. She needed a way to channel her energy and creativity. And it's worked out really well for her."

"I'm starting to think I don't know her at all," Daemon said. "She's not the same wild child I remember from childhood."

"She's still the same adventurous and passionate person she's always been, but she's also grown up and become more responsible. She's still a wild child at heart, but she's also a savvy businesswoman and a loyal friend. I think you'll be surprised by how much she's grown."

Some more funnee gems for Deep Dream Diamond’s court! I think they all live in this sorta... ‘embassy’ run by Chalcanthite? It must be located on an arid colony so the conditions don’t cause Chalcanthite to dissolve. So effectively all the other 9 gems in this image are her subordinates, except Shardium-- Shard is the de-facto leader in case something bad happens to Chalcanth. 

Zircon and Copper are compressed, Silver is undercooked, and Mangonium is twinned. Other than that, these guys r pretty average for their respective gemtypes. Zircon uses he/him pronouns, Silver uses they/them, and Mangonium is rather specific; when referring to the gem as a whole you use they/them, but their individual heads use she/her. All the other gems in this drawing are she/her!

I found all these gems in 1 mineshaft, and this isn’t even the largest ‘handful’ of gems I have found in one area in the game!! idk what I’ll do whenever I get to that.... 

Bonus material under the cut!:

isolated versions of the gems in the back of the drawing! I figured it’d be especially handy for Silver since their design was partially blocked by Axinite’s hand. 

Shardium and Chalcanthite! GFs, even. Fun fact, I downloaded 3 different brushes specifically for Shard’s hair effect. This sketch was made before I found ‘em!

Chapter Summary: In the three weeks of Freyja's extended absence, her critical business venture to secure Glacium Shardium takes an emotional toll as she battles harsh snowstorms. She reflects on her love for Daemon, the weight of responsibilities, and pleads for his understanding. Alone in a remote cabin, she grapples with time's passage and the uncertainty of Daemon's patience and affection.

[Freyja's Point of View]

Walking through the snow storm, the ice and snow felt like it was cutting into my soul like a hot knife through a stick of frozen butter, cold seeping through the layers of my clothes and entering my bones like a dagger. Each step through the thick layers of snow beneath my feet were a struggle against the wind, snow and the biting cold.

I didn't mean to put off this marriage as I know how important it was to my step-mother and the Targaryen family. This venture was important both as a business owner and smith, it was a rare mineral, a resource I couldn't find a reliable source for. At least for the time being I couldn't find one reliable enough to continue the growth of my business.

Rumors of removing an entire ore vein and moving it closer to my business was an endeavor I didn't know how to achieve. As one man stated, "Moving a Glacium Shardium vein is like moving a mountain. It's a task of epic proportions, requiring vast resources and knowledge of ancient magics."

"Some of them are in sarcophagus, would they be easier to retrieve?" I asked him. "I have resources needed for a feat either way."

Moving the ore veins located inside the sarcophagi, moving the entire thing to relocate to my home inside a warehouse where I had the necessary equipment there. I delved deeper into the venture, moving these sarcophagi type ore veins to my warehouse to ensure a steady supply of Glacium Shardium for my business.

As the days turn into weeks, they took three days to move just one of the sarcophagus ore veins into my warehouse and ensure it was built into the walls of the building. I needed at least four ore veins and making sure the steady supply was both secured into the building before heading back home.

The duration of my absence stretched out into an arduous and painstakingly long ordeal, one that seemed beyond my control. The passage of time had become an unpredictable adversary, as unpredictable as the shifting snowstorms that surrounded me. I couldn't help but dwell on the anxiety gnawed at my like a relentless beast.

"Please forgive me," I whispered into the unforgiving wilderness that enveloped me entirely, my words carried away by the biting cold wind. My breath formed a light mist in front of my face as I sat huddled in front of the hearth.

"Forgive me for taking so long," I continued, my voice barely audible above the howling winds.

"Please wait for me, as I would have waited for you," My silent plea, my silent hope he would still be there waiting. Even though I know someone like him wouldn't be one patient enough to do so.
