Chapter 63 - Aenar Targaryen, First of His Name (II)
"The first time I saw the Immaterium, I knew. It would be the source of humanity's prosperity, but also its possible ruin if not handled with care." Aenar I Targaryen, God-Emperor of Planetos.

Aenar looked at the vial in his hand and didn't hesitate, there was no indecision or fear, only a slight feeling of dread, fear of a future that he could never escape the clutches of fate.
When the turquoise liquid went down his throat, a deep bitter taste attacked his palate. At first, Aenar didn't feel anything wrong, but just a few seconds later, his heart started beating faster, to the point where he thought his heart would explode.
Suddenly, it was as if a hammer hit Aenar's head. His vision blurred, the world seemed to spin and double in front of him. Aenar threw his head back as his spine arched upwards. The veins in his body bulged as a simply agonizing pain shot through him along with the blood flow coursing through his body.
Daenerys watched in shock as Aenar seemed to enter a trance-like state between lucid and unconscious periods.
She didn't know and would never know what Aenar was going through at that moment. His Prescience ability was being amplified to a whole new level. If before his powers were a small puddle of water a few meters across, at this moment, that small puddle of water was increasing at a great speed.
Aenar could now see things that had previously been hidden, dimensions overlapping the material world and dimensions far from the Material World. One in particular looked like an extremely bright star against a dark background, shining much brighter than the others, making it impossible not to be noticed.
It was a dimension of pure energy, an energy that made up everything, the source of all magic and sorcery, although no one on Planetos knew this fact. Which was curious, because they manipulated this energy, but never came into direct contact with it.
That in itself had saved countless lives from madness and insanity.
Aenar felt his mind connecting to this same dimension, his mind overloaded with infinite amounts of chaotic energy full of unpredictability.
