Chapter One: Lost in the East (Edited)
(Middle) 298 AC
As Danny stepped through the portal he took a look around to see where he had landed. The area was filled with grass and trees and there didn't look to be a city or town in sight.
"Where am I?" Danny asked as he sat upon a high hill just relaxing and wondering what he should do now. He was in a brand new world where no one had ever heard of him and he was stronger than the original had ever been or might be.
"I guess I'll have to figure it out for myself." Danny said as he began to stand up. Wondering what he looked like he created a duplicate of himself to see. His duplicate was in his opinion handsome and tall. He stood at about five foot seven.
His face looks the same as it did in original Danny's memories before except now his face looked like he did when he was fourteen. So this body was younger than the one that made the deal.
The duplicate was wearing a green shirt, a black hooded jacket with green trim along that had fur which extended from the hood to the shoulders when folded down, with black leather pants and green sneakers. Danny had to admit that he liked the style of clothes. With that done he reabsorbed the duplicate.
With no place to actually be in and in no hurry to be anywhere Danny decided to just pick a random direction. If problems came from his choice then he would deal with it then.
After a rousing game of eeny meeny miny moe Danny had made his choice and began walking. He had to climb past a lot of hills. They varied in size as some were big and some were small.
The only reason he continued walking this way and did not give up and use his powers was because he saw the prints in the dirt that had been made by people and horses. He figured that he would more than likely run into people if he continued this way.
Hours later he looked to the sky and he had saw that it was getting darker and it was more than likely getting closer and closer to night. Deciding to put his journey off he slept in a tree and watched the stars as they flew in the night sky.
The original Danny had a fascination with the stars and wanted to be an astronaut. He did not want that job but he still found the stars to be fascinating especially since they did not match anything in the memories he had from the original Danny.
Even though he might be an offshoot of the original clone that had been chosen by the alien Danny still would keep to the promise that they had made to themselves. They would always continue to move forward.
No matter how things ended up he would always try to find a way to enjoy the life that he was given.
He fell asleep looking into the stars and wondering when he was going to find actual people.
He awoke to the sound of horses passing him by and the shouting of riders. He was actually happy to have found people to talk to. Finally, there were people around to answer his questions.
Well he was happy until he actually heard what was being said.
"Where should we attack next Khal Jhaqo?" One of the people on horses said to the person he was assuming was the chief or leader of these people.
The ones riding the horses had a copper-tone skin color. Their hair was tied in braids and looked to be oiled with something. The jingling sound when they walked came from the bells they tied to their hair.
The clothes of both the men and the women looked to be painted vests made from leather and their belts were made of bronze medallions. They wore leather boots.
They looked to be fairly muscular but Danny knew without a doubt that he could take them if they ended up in a fight.
The language they were speaking in wasn't English but apparently due to the alien he could understand the language of anyone in this world and when he answered people back they would understand the words in their own language. It gave him plenty of time to actually learn the languages later if he ever felt the desire to.
Danny wondered what type of world and time he was living in if people walked around dressed like that.
It looked like this world wasn't as advanced as the one he had come from.
The people cheering as blood coated their clothes and weapons along with the people walking behind them with fear in their eyes made it clear that these weren't good people.
These were the type of people that would kill you if you were lucky and then throw a celebration about it. They were violent and that question showed that they had yet to quench their blood lust. If he showed up they were more than likely to try and challenge him instead of answer him. It was not like he had any better options though. He had no idea if the directions he was headed in had any civilizations or their equivalent here.
Dropping down from the trees in front of the group spooked both them and the horses but it did not make any of the riders fall off. A part of him had hoped that it would actually have happened.
"Who are you stranger?" The man named Khal Jhaqo asked him. He was a big and heavy man. With blue tribal markings and a long braid behind him. His mustache ran down past his mouth and chin.
Going by the scars on the man's neck Danny would say that the man had been in plenty of fights that could have taken the man's life.
"My name is Danny. I'm a little lost and looking for a city to rest in." Danny said as he waved at the man with a false smile.
"Are you an Andal? I have never seen a man with white hair and green eyes?" Khal Jhaqo said to himself.
"No I am not an Andal. I just need directions." Danny said trying to get some answers and a direction to travel in that had an end goal. Going by the drawing of weapons and the grins on the face of the men it looked like he was right and they did not look like they inteded on being kind and helping a stranger out.
"You wear strange clothes. Where are you from foreigner?" Another man came up to surround Khal Jhaqo bringing the number up to three. Danny figured they must have been his guards.
They did not see any weapons on him but were still wary it was a trap. They were right that that they were in danger they just didn't know of what kind or how.
"A place far away." Danny said being mysterious on purpose. He was fine with letting the vicious group come up with their own conclusions.
It wasn't like they would know if he told the truth. On guard or not once he got what he needed these guys would run out of purpose and then they would die.
Danny had known it was going to end this way from the moment that he had left the tree and announced his presence to the group.
"What do you want to know?" Khal Jhaqo answered him.
"I would like to know where I am and the nearest city." Danny answered him and they all shared incredulous looks at each other.
"You speak good Dothraki for a lost man." Khal Jhaqo commented to him giving him the name of the language they spoke. Danny made sure to remember the Dothraki. After all they were more than likely going to be the first people he murdered in this new world. They would be the first but probably not the last if he was honest with himself.
"Think we could sell pale boy to someone in city?" One of the Dothraki riders in the back asked another. They were talking quietly probably so that he couldn't hear them.
It looks like he was brought to a world where groups of people murdered others and roamed free and slavery still existed.
Danny was feeling more and more certain that he was stuck in a world that was in the middle ages.
He was also getting more and more certain of what he wanted to do. If he was truly stuck in an age of superstition and a time when kings and queens ruled then he was going to follow the examples of Aragon and Pariah Dark. He would follow no one but himself.
He was going to become a ruler. He wanted to be higher than a king though. The original's memories of Aragon and Pariah while powerful and scary were too low a scale. The part of him that came from Vlad desired more. More wealth, more power, He just wanted more.
He wanted to be a grand king or an emperor. To rule more than just a single country or kingdom. He had enough power to rule the world and unless someone had the strength or ability to stop him he would accomplish this goal.
After all isn't that why the alien had sent him here.
They had explicitly told him to go forwards and conquer. Who was he to question the will of a being that could move through universes.
"People of Qarth pay good money to buy strange boy." A rider in the back said.
"Where are you headed?" one of the rider besides Khal Jhaqo asked him. He had three bells in his hair that jingled as his horse moved forwards.
"I'm looking for Qarth." Danny said. He was really glad that he had picked up on the conversation earlier because otherwise he would not have any places to name for where he was going.
That would have made him seem suspicious to be going somewhere but not know the name of the place. These Dothraki looked to be comfortable with the area and they more than likely had a map. It would save him a lot of time that he would either spend walking or flying.
"We know of city." Khal Jhaqo said to him.
"Great would you by any chance have a map?" Danny asked hopefully.
"We can give you map. First however we must celebrate!" Khal Jhaqo shouted and the people that were eyeing him wondering more than likely how they could take him down without killing began cheering again. He just hoped they did not drug his food. He was really hungry.
Danny was invited as well. As a new friend of Khal Jhaqo.
"Sure. Why not." Danny said with a grin as Khal Jhaqo came by with his horse and patted him on the shoulder. Jhaqo probably didn't think he could see the malice behind his giant smile. He was a reminder that Danny needed to work on hiding his better.
Danny was wondering what they were going to eat. He really hoped that it was meat because while being a vegetarian was okay it really was not for him. He needed something like chicken or duck. If they did not have it he would just have to use his powers to make it.
Danny watched as all the people set up tents to put their stuff and hold their horses. They looked to be used to such an effort. All the men and many of the women seemed perfectly fine with throwing a celebration after murdering people.
Khal Jhaqo was talking about something with his bloodriders. Danny suspected they were arguing over what to do with him. Apparently they had many opinions on what to do with him. One wanted to sell him, one wanted to sacrifice him, another wanted to kill him and leave him for the birds.
Danny while helping the people set up their tents and hunt food learned a lot about Dothraki culture and history. This continent was called Essos. The area he was in was called the Dothraki sea. Their ancestors came from the lands beyond the Bone Mountains in the Farther East following the Doom of Valyria most commonly referred to as the Doom.
Well once Danny heard something that ominous sounding he had to learn more. Apparently long ago about four hundred years or so there were dragon riders in a land called Valyria that was the center of the world.
The Valyrian Freehold controlled much of Essos but after the Doom which they all agreed was terrifying and mysterious many if not most of the dragon riders died except for one family which went west.
The Dothraki came along during a period called the century of blood and they killed people and destroyed cities until they were pushed back by the eunuchs of slaver's bay. However, by that point they had enough land, people, horses, and grass that it was acknowledged by all that this was the Dothraki sea.
Danny found it weird that they would call plains a sea especially given how they were all apparently afraid of and distrusted the sea.
Their hoard or Khalasar as they called it here was what all Dothraki culture was. They lived under the Mother of Mountains and their only city was Vaes Dothrak. They were all led by the Khals. Each Khalasar had them.
Danny had asked about where they were coming from and why they had the people tied up and what they were doing with them even though he had a guess but no matter what they always moved the subject onto something else. That or they just stopped talking to him and left.
That was fine though. While they felt happy that he was under their watch a duplicate was running around their camp invisible looking for what he was promised.
Danny was still just waiting for the map. Truly even he had a limit for his patience. Just because he would not die of old age did not mean that he had to suffer through this.
0-0-0-0-0-0-0
Danny could feel his urge to murder these people rising by the moment. He had met them during the day and now the moon was in the sky shining over all of them. They still had not brought him the damn map.
He really was tempted to just wipe them all away and find his own way to Qarth. Danny was beginning to think they just wanted to see how long he could be patient and put up with this before going insane. He just wished they would get to the point and pull out their weapons and threaten him. They would die and he could go on his merry way after torturing the last one for answers.
The fact that they were having an orgy right in front of him was just adding to his annoyance with these people. He wondered if this was how Marco felt when he was held by the Mongols.
Finally he reached his limit and couldn't take any of this anymore. He was really going to enjoy killing them.
"Alright! Enough is enough. Can I just get the map? If not can we just fight already?" Danny questioned shouting out and bring the whole procession to a halt.
"We are celebrating have fun." Khal Jhaqo said to him and the silence became even more awkward for them. The look in the man's eyes no longer held the fake kindness they did earlier. It was an order and a threat even if no such word promising violence left his mouth. Everyone else was silent just watching the two of them.
"I know you want to kill me and you know you want to kill me. So why don't we skip this whole charade and get started?" Danny asked as he began to stand up and stretch out his arms.
Danny understood the sadistic need to give your prey despair before killing him. He was created from Vlad after all. The trap could have been sprung earlier though and that was his main problem. Also the food was just plain terrible.
Not only was Danny annoyed he was bored. A bored and annoyed Danny was a very dangerous thing. At least he was learning more about himself.
They could have sprung their trap when Danny was sent to help get firewood or to hunt for deer. Those would have been better. Danny was so annoyed that as far as he was concerned the only way to solve this issue was to kill all of the Dothraki surrounding him.
He knew they deserved it. They spent most of their time either killing, enslaving, or raping people and burning cities.
Also while his duplicate had been unable to get into Jhaqo's tent with the man and many others staying in there since they had arrived talking about him he had been able to locate the people the Dothraki had made slaves and was planning to free them and send them on their way.
Danny had thought of making these people's the first citizens of his soon to be made empire but thought it would be better to have them spread the word of what was going to happen here.
Danny was going to make sure that it was going to be a sight that they never forgot. A tale they could tell their grandchildren and their grandchildren to their grandchildren.
"Brave stranger. Challenging Khal to fight. many would call that stupidity." Khal Jhaqo said as Mago, Kor, and Garok his bloodriders all pulled out the arakhs that they wielded.
"Others would call that bravery." Danny said with a grin on his face as the tension rose higher and higher.
"I see this only ending badly for you." Khal Jhaqo told him bluntly. His grin grew and his eyes gleamed in clear delight for the pain he planned on inflicting.
"Apologise for your rudeness and we won't kill you." Mago said as the other member of the khalasar moved out of the way.
"Really?" Danny asked rhetorically knowing that was a lie as he got a message from the duplicate that told him that the slaves were free.
"True. Mago thinks you would be useful for the khalasar to use as bait for other fools. Kor thinks we should sell you to the milk men." Jhaqo said as he began to stand up. Seems their opinions had changed while he was with them.
Danny felt like he was going to puke as he saw the bare chested Dothraki rise and the rolls of fat move alongside him.
"What about you? What do you want?" Danny asked Khal Jhaqo who had pulled out a silver and gold arakh which had small jewels at the bottom of the handle.
"I want you dead in the most painful way possible." Khal Jhaqo announced with a grin that showed his yellow teeth.
"You were never going to give me that map were you?" Danny asked the Khal. He knew that already but being sure you were right was just as important as being right itself.
"Yes I would have then killed you the moment after. The expression of despair on your face would be in my mind as I had fun with one of the women we grabbed from an earlier raid." Khal Jhaqo said.
"Well I'm sorry to disappoint you but you won't be making it to the next sunrise." Danny said and watched as Khal Jhaqo and the others began to laugh.
"You truly are funny little boy. You are all alone. What can you do?" Khal Jhaqo asked him.
"This." Danny said before launching a telekinetic blast that launched everyone besides him and Khal Jhaqo away. The tent they were under were also blasted away.
"Let's go for a little trip." Danny said as he lifted him and Khal Jhaqo into the air.
Danny could hear the screams of demon and maegi down below but he didn't think that as high up as they were Khal Jhaqo could hear anything beyond his scream of surprise.
"Demon child. I should have known. No one young as you has hair the color of white." Khal Jhaqo growled at him.
"I know you can't see down there but your khalasar is probably screaming and trying to run as far as possible from here." Danny taunted the man who was at his complete whim.
"It's not like they'll get far though." Danny said nonchalantly.
"Demon child my men will shoot you and we will make you wish you had never found us." Khal Jhaqo threatened him clearly not seeing that he was in no position to make threats.
"Not really." Danny said he created a ball of ecto energy and electricity. He then shrunk it down to the point that as it floated above his index and middle finger. Now it was the size of a golf ball except way more dangerous.
"What can little ball do? Not even bright enough to light tent." Khal Jhaqo taunted him.
"Watch." Danny said as he lifted his hand and sent the ball flying towards the camp and running Dothraki and as the ball met the ground the explosion was huge. It wiped out the Dothraki camp along with the people and the horses.
There was a huge crater below them. There were no bodies or tent remaining. They did not even get the chance to scream.
All the Dothraki were gone. They were there one moment and gone the next. The slaves were already out of the range for the explosion though so he had no reason to hold back.
"M-M-Monster." khal Jhaqo stammered out once he saw the devastation that Danny could bring with just a little effort. Of course once he saw Danny knew that he tried to put on a brave face.
"How are you going to get the map now?" Kahl Jhaqo taunted him. Danny however no longer cared about the map. It was not worth the pain he had to go through. That did not mean he did not have other means to get answers though. He would now move to plan b and start threatening the surviving Dothraki for answers.
"Give me the directions to Qarth or I drop you." Danny said to him. He was fully prepared to carry out with his threat.
"You wouldn't." Khal Jhaqo said to him feeling safe as he knew that he wanted the information. Of course when Danny began to let him fall he quickly gave him what he wanted.
"You'll let me go now?" Khal Jhaqo said to him but grew scared when Danny's finger began to glow.
"No. I said give me directions or I drop you. You gave me directions so I can't drop you but that doesn't mean I will let you live." Danny said as with an ecto energy finger gun he shot Jhaqo in the head.
He wasn't holding back enough because that energy blast wiped out his entire top half.
"Wow I really need to learn control." Danny said to himself as he looked at the floating corpse.
That fact however was a problem for another day. With that Danny began to fly to his destination now that he knew Qarth was in the southeast
The slaves he freed had better tell this story. It was the beginning of an epic and the rise of King Daniel.
