Chapter 1. A Game of Chance

Essos – Astapor

The Free Cities of Essos were originally founded by the Volyrian Empire before the doom. After the Doom of Volyria the cities became independent, maintaining its slave trade. Most of the free cities shared the same slave laws but little else. If one could not pay his or her taxes they were reduced to a state of slavery. Failure to pay debts was also a reason to be made a slave. Then there were those who were unfortunate to be born into slavery. Among the free cities slavery is the backbone of wealth for the nobles. There were pleasure slaves, servers, workers, and fighter slaves. House slaves were given normal names like Mary or Kyle; while workers fighters or breeders were given demeaning names like Steps, Rat, or Gypsy. Slaves were not allowed to refer to themselves by saying I or me, they had to speak in the third person. Few slaves had the right to earn their freedom, fighting slaves for one could earn their freedom.

Astapor, also known as the Red City, is the southernmost of the three great city-states of Slaver's Bay. A noted stopping point for ships bound from Qarth to the Free Cities and Westeros, Astapor is home of the infamous Unsullied, eunuch slave-soldiers considered by many to be the finest infantry troops in the World. Astapor's sigil, like that of the other cities of Slaver's Bay, is that of the harpy, the ancient symbol of the Ghiscari Empire, of which Astapor was once part.

Kralyn mo Nakloz had died and his only son Kraznys mo Nakloz inherited his estate and vast fortune. He was now master slave trainer of the Unsullied troops. Kraznys was one of the best. It was his fortieth name day as well and he decided to throw a feast and invite nobles from all over Essos. The food and wine flowed freely in his marble mansion. Pleasure slaves both male and female stood at attention ready to fulfill any desire of his guests. Some were naked others wore elaborate costumes all ready to please the desires of their master's guests.

Kraznys stands with several of his friends talking when his personal slave walked up, "My Lord! Magister Mopatis is here."

He looks to the main entrance as Mopatis enters with well dressed balled man. "Magister Ilyrio Mopatis welcome to my home…" They hug and then Kraznys looks at the bald man.

"My longtime friend Master of Whispers Lord Varys…"

They shake hands, "Lord Varys your reputation precedes you…"

"Thank you…"

They start walking, "Tell me what news of the west…"

"War! Prince Rhaegar kidnapped Lyanna Stark of Winterfel. His mad father killed Brandon and Rickard Stark…The Starks, Arryns, and Tullys have all sided with Robert Baratheon…Robert Baratheon is now King…" Varys looks at Mopatis, "I came to reopen trade with the free cities…"

Kraznys could tell he was hiding something but what, "Are all the Targaryens dead?"

"A few survived…"

"I would like more details…Perhaps over a game of Harpy's Grace…"

"Sorry I don't play…" Varys replies.

Kraznys' feast lasts the entire week. His guests are allowed to sleep at his mansion. Kraznys himself partakes of several pleasure slaves. On the fifth day of revelries he convinces several nobles to play a private high stakes game of Harpy's grace. There are 84 cards, the Harpy and her legion, legion cards number from one to ten. There are six Harpy face cards and the same number Dragon, King, Queen, Knight cards and four assassin cards. The best hand to have is a Harpy's rule hand and that would be five Harpies and one Dragon. The next best hand is Harpy, Dragon, King, Queen, Knight, ten nine, commonly referred to as royal house. Then a Dragon's array would be a Dragon, King, Queen, Knight, ten, nine, eight. Assassin cards can be used remove any two cards from another's hand. Each player is given seven cards by the dealer, dealer starts the bidding. The seventh card his placed face down, this card is a hold out card. The seventh card can only be used if the card is challenged and the bet doubled. If the card is challenged it must follow suit such as Knight, ten, nine, eight, seven, six… and the hold card must be a five. If is not the player looses the hand. Each round bets are added to the pot and cards may be discarded in exchange for new cards from the deck.

The cards were dealt and Kraznys receives a Knight, six, one, three, eight, Dragon, and a seven. Not a good hand, but three of his number cards are of the Harpy's legion two more of the same legion and he can combine the cards and claim a Harpy card. He places the Knight face down and discards the seven and three. When he receives two more cards Kraznys smiles on the inside as the five is of the Harpy legion. The other card is a three, he places a bet of 1,200 gold harpies. He manages to make his Harpy and is on the way to creating a royal house, but Count Heim Nezarro uses an assassin card to take his Harpy. Kraznys loses the first two hands, the first pot was 9,800 the second 18,000. the game lasts for several hours.

"I challenge your hold card!" Heim says to Kraznys.

Kraznys sneers as he had been bluffing but he has a good hand a Harpy's rule. His hold card is a six, Hold cards cannot be exchanged. As the game progressed, Kraznys had built up a Harpy's rule hand. Now he was about to lose the pot. He placed the last of his coin into the pile. "That won't be enough!" Myzant declares who is the dealer.

"Dam! Oh I know one of my slaves has just given birth…I will place the baby up as the balance of the wager…" Kraznys looks at his clerk, "Bring my ledger!"

"That would have to be one hell of a baby…" A Master named Yemen says.

"It is from my breeding stock for the Unsullied…The bitch has given me many healthy warriors…" Just then the clerk returns with the ledger, "Ah Grey Worm is his name…" Kraznys removes the document from the ledger…and places it in the pile. Then he reluctantly shows his hold card.

"How did you know?" Myzant asks looking at Heim.

"I am a warrior I know fear when I see it…"

Kraznys shakes his head, "Ha!" He takes a drink, then he removes the ownership document from the pile of money and signs it over to Heim as the new owner. "So when do you wish to collect your property?"

Heim Nezarro

Heim Nazarro was a very wealthy man from Bhoras on slaver's bay not far from Mereen. Heim was fathered by a man of Bhoras, but his mother was a Bravoosi warrior who taught him that slavery was wrong among other things. Heim loved to play Harpy's Grace. When Kraznys offered up the new born baby he flinched inside. He owned slaves but didn't treat them as other masters did. "Um the mother…"

"What of her?" Kraznys asked in a manner that said he didn't care.

"If she is still nursing…" he said hinting.

"I am not parting with my best breeding bitch…I'll tell you what I will send her with you until the baby is finished nursing then return her to me…"

Heim was not pleased but he agreed and left with his entourage two days later, plus the woman whose name ironically was Heifer and an Unsullied guard who was to watch over Heifer and protect her. The trip to Bhosar took about a month with no incidents. Nazarro's mansion sat on a hill overlooking the city of Bhosar. Heim was greeted by the house slaves and his three year old son Azheme. He coldly greeted his son then he kissed Mandely his favorite slave and lover.

"Welcome home!"

"It's good to be home…" He waved Heifer forward, "This is Heifer…I won her son in a card game…"

"This one is happy to meet you…" Heifer said speaking up.

"Mandy have Ida prepare a room for Heifer…she will be here until her son finishes nursing."

Mandely ran the house for Heim and was well educated. In fact all the slaves living in his home could read and write. In private they could use words like I and me. When company came they were instructed to speak in the third person. Heifer stayed with the family for the next three months then she left. Her son was placed under Mandely's care. Before she left Nezarro comforted Heifer assuring her that her son would have a good life.

"So what is to be done with Grey Worm?" She asks as Heim climbs into bed.

He sighs, "Make him a stable boy…" Heim declares as he fondles her breasts and kisses her neck. They make love and fall asleep.
