"Roar!" A golden flash suddenly lit up the sky.
With the Long Night upon them, Gendry's black hair was inconspicuous. Only the glittering gold along the edges of his Valyrian steel armor made him stand out, as bright as humanity's sun.

A streak of golden light appeared in the sky as Gendry rode Balerion, bombarding the Wight Horde appearing along the Eastwatch-by-the-Sea coastline.
Gendry brandished the Steel-Headed Leather Whip, and Balerion circled overhead.
