Peytr Baelish
Petyr Baelish could not catch a break these days. All his carefully laid out plans were backfiring on him. First all the King's bastards disappeared overnight , even the whore Mhegan who worked for him was gone along with her babe. Only the boy with the blacksmith remained , but the boy was always followed by the Wolfguard. Then the 'Meryn Trant' nightmare began.
The formed disgraced Kingsguard was found having sex with a child in his brothel. The crowd has beaten him bloody and he was thrown in a dark cell. The High Septon ordered the destruction of his brothel for following such practices. This was a major loss as the whores used the chaos to flee with his money and valuables, the place was devastated beyond repair. He was under a lot of heat from the Small Counsil and the Boy Hand for the incident. They have warned him that any similar actions will lead to his Dismissal from his position. Even the King was angry with him.
His mood was further darkened when news came that his plan to kill the High Septon and blame it on Bran Stark causing a rift between the faith and the Northeners. Alas his plan was foiled by that Cow of a woman from Tarth. The ugly bitch has also killed Luthor Brune, his best enforcer. She was admired for her courage and rewarded with a Valyrian Steel Sword and even hailed as "The Champion of the Faith" and "The Warrior Maid" by the Smallfolk.
He has hired the Kettleblack brothers to act as his guards for his safety. He has opened a package from his agents in the Vale and as he read the message his hands shivered, his head pounded and he felt Dizzy all of a sudden. He sank back on his chair still unable to believe what he had just read.
"LYSA is dead ?" he asked no one in particular. The Dumb whore was a mad and useful tool for him all these years. He had taken all of his risks and based many plans based on her Regency of the Vale. Suddenly he felt panic. How could that dumb cunt just jump out of the Moon Door. She is not that mad. His agents say she has been acting madder than usual, locking herself in her chambers and complaining about birds watching and tormenting her. This is Madness.
He had felt nothing for the women's death but felt devastated as his plans along with his future destroyed. Yohn Royce was made Regent of the Vale and the man absolutely hated him. He had to reevaluate his plans as ousting the Queen's bastard children and starting a war between The Lannisters and Baratheons is not an option now. He knew he have to flee Westeros before things turn difficult. It was now or never. But he has one last surprise for the boy Hand before he leave.
He drank a cup of wine to lament on his lost Love and though about how he can get his revange on the Starks when an Idea hit him. Yes he thought , it might work. He pulled a carefully hidden book from behind a secret compartment in the wall and started going throught it. Yes his plan may just work. He rang the bell on his table to summon his servants and smiled to himself.
Arya Stark
Arya quickly dodged a swipe from Syrio and attacked him from the side. He easily swatted her stick aside and parried a blow meant for his knees. "A girl becomes too confident for her own good" he says and uses a quick strike to swat at her hand. She narrowly escapes and tries to move back but he quickly spun his practice stick and struck her in the ankle and in one move swatted her sword arm. She gasped and her stick fell down on the ground.
"A girl should be patient and work on defending quickly. You lose the sword you lose your life" Syrio chided her and left. Arya winced in pain on her hand and ankle. After cleaning up she went to see Jon. Her brother was practicing in the Yard with Beric Dondarion who seems to be giving as good as he got. Finally the Lord overextended himself trying to exploit a weakness but jon quickly moved to the side and knocked the legs under the lightening lord and brought his practice sword near the lord's neck and shouted "YIELD".
"I Yield" said Lord Dondarion and accepted Jon's hand. As the lord stood up he said "Good work Stark, couldn't expect any less from a Squire of Ser Barristan the Bold" he praised Jon to which her brother swelled with Pride. The Red Priest laughed and teased John about some Lord's daughter being smitten by him to which Jon's cheeks reddened.
"Ser Jon" she teased him. He saw her and came to her "What are you doing here Arya ? I thought you were training" he asked. "Well Syrio let me off early today, so I came to see you train" she said and he mussed up her hair.
"OK, me and Bran have a Surprise for you. Want to take a walk with me ?" Jon asked and she agreed. Jon has led her to the stables and she found a horse and a Pony waiting for them. She quickly climbed the pony and followed Jon out of the Red Keep.
They entered the street of steel where they went to a big shop where a Bald man was inspecting an Armour. He saw them come and bowed to them. " I am Ser Jon Stark , my brother Bran Stark the hand have sent me to collect a gift" said Jon to the man. The man nodded and led them inside his shop where they reached a room. He asked them to sit and went inside.
Arya can hear the sound of Hammer on Metal and hissing of Steel from the Forge outside their room. The man returned with another youth who is tall and well built with Black Hair and Blue Eye. Arya was sure she saw he resembled somebody but could not recall whom. The boy held a box which he placed before Arya . She looked at Jon and he nodded. She opened the box and froze for a moment before jumping in delight.
She took the small sword out and gave it a twirl. "Careful" warned . She looked at the exquisite work and the little wolf pommel which have gems for eyes. She hugged Jon and thanked him for the gift. "thank Bran and this young smith who made it Arya" Jon said. She looked at the youth who is Jon's age.
"what is your Name ?" she asked him. "Gendry Mi'lady" he said looking confused. "Thank you for forging the sword Gendry , I love it" she replied. He looked surprised but bowed before her.
As they left the shop Jon said "You can practice with some of the squires till you are good enough to practice on your own". "I will" she promised. "Every Sword has a Name. Have you decided on it " Jon Asked. She suddenly thought of names that will be suitable for her thin sword but nothing fit".
"There was a Skill you are not very good in ?" Jon hinted , she remembered about it and shouted "NEEDLE". Jon laughed and mussed up her hair.
Euron Greyjoy
The Kraken was on his way to the Stepstones after he had raided and burned a "Yi Ti ship". He had taken a couple of Yitish women as bedslaves. The men had taken all the riches and clothes along with strange instruments from the ship before burning it. He took a sip of 'the Shade' from his pouch.
He felt the effects immediately. His mind felt charged and he flew with the birds and saw himself from a bird's eye. He felt his abilities improve after his trip to Valyria. He returned to his own body and reached his cabin in the ship. He asked for one of the mutes to bring the only male survivor from the ship.
The mutes brought a bloodied and beaten Yitish old man who was dressed in a strange long robe with a strange hat . He had long nails and long white hair and a thin curvy mustache like all men from Yi Ti. He had sensed that the man is a sorcerer from the strange Aura emanting from him.
He asked for the two women to be brought to him. The two women were brought bound and gagged before him. These women were tall , wiry and comely. He ordered the gags to be removed. One of the woman spat on his face and cursed him in a strange language before trying to run away. He quickly caught her hair and threw her on the bed. He tore the clothes on her back and spanked her hard on her pert arse.
He ran his fingers on her legs and found two sharp blades in both of her boots. He cut the bounds on her hands with the thin blade and the women tried to escape from him. He quickly caught up with her and slapped her hard on her cheek. The woman fell back on the floor and cursed him again. He watched as the Sorcerer and the other woman are looking with fear in their eyes.
He threw the fallen women on bed again and tore away her robe. The woman gasped but a swift slap to her face left her bleeding from her lip. He undid his pants and the woman shreiked looking at his manhood. She used her hand to pull a metal pin from her hair and lunged at him. He caught her hands and headbutted her.
The woman fell back on the bed with a broken nose and the pin fell to the ground. He did like breaking spirited women. He pulled the woman's hair and asked "You are a saucy Bitch aren't you. Well nod your head if you know the common tongue". The women looked confused holding her bloody face. He sighed "Well don't waste my time. Nod if you know what I'm saying". The woman looked afraid and frozen. He quickly pulled her legs apart and pushed his fingers in her cunt. The women screamed loudly but he took this time to pinch her nipple and applied pressure.
The woman cried out in pain and Euron removed his fingers and saw them coated in blood. "A Maiden ? Who would have thought". The woman started wailing due to the loss of her maidenhead and at her state. Euron was getting angry with all the wailing. He flipped the woman and entered her again and started Fucking her from behind like an animal.
He can see the other bound woman crying as she imagined her own fate. The Bitch started screaming loudly when he started spanking her Arse. Euron felt the same Euphoric high which was amplified by the 'Nightshade'. He quickly flipped the women and thrusted deeply ignoring her wailing. On and on he went till he felt himself erupt inside the woman . Once he was spent he threw the women away and asked the mute to give her to the men.
He stood up naked with his shrinking manhood and smiled at the other woman. The woman went pale and shivered looking at him. They can hear the sounds of the freshly soiled Virgin as his men started sharing her. "Now I ask you again, do you know the common tongue ?" he said before removing the gag from the woman's mouth. The woman vomited to the side and after few seconds answered "YES ..i no com'n tongue" she said in a strange accent.
"Good" he nodded to the mute who removed the gag from the sorcerer's mouth. "Tell the old fool to follow my orders or I will cut off his legs and threw him to my men who will violate him till he dies" he told the shivering woman. The woman translated his warning to the old man who looked defiantly at him and said something to the women in a harsh tone.
"He will not obey" said the women with fear in her eyes. He took an axe from one of his mute soldier and swung it over the man's leg removing it in one blow. Blood spilled everywhere and the man shouted in pain. "Take him to the lower cabin and tie him naked to the wall and salt his wound. Tell the men to Fuck him raw till his eyed bleed" he commanded a mute.
The men dragged the bleeding old man to the lower decks. He looked at the women who was covering in a corner. "You come here" he called and the woman obliged "Remove your weapons" he ordered. The woman slowly removed small knives tied to her small clothes and the Pin from her hair.
He stripped the women of her clothes and pushed her towards his manhood. He held his swelling manhood near her face and she quickly took it in her mouth. This women is no maid he thought. He enjoyed the woman for several hours till he was properly sated. The woman for her part was a quick learner and an experienced whore with a talented mouth. He took one last look at the passed out woman on his bed and went to his own cabin.
He opened his desk and pulled out a Valyrian Candle. He sent for the Red Preist he had captured from Volantis and asked him to light it with his magic. The preist sang some strange hymns and suddenly the room was filled with a strange Blue light emanting from the Candle.
He looked closely and made out the dancing shapes in the fire. He saw his brother Victorian and his Niece Asha trying to reign in their men from clashing with goldcloaks in KingsLanding. He saw the Stag King swinging his WarHammer against four Knights in a coourtyard. He saw some Northern Lords arguing on the wall and saw Ned Stark among them. He saw his nephew Theon in winterfell firing arrows at a Target with a determined face. He saw the Old Lion along with his retinue reach Kings Landing. He saw a Dornish Man and Woman fornicate with a dozen women in a Brothel. He turned his Gaze to East where he saw a great Dothraki horde moving towards Vaes Dothrak. At the Head of the Horde was a Silver Haired Girl and a Brute of a Khal.
He had contemplated what he had seen till now. Many Lords were heading towards Kings Landing. Why ? What is happening in KingsLanding ?. He tried to look again and suddenly felt something was wrong as the blue light flickered and suddenly 'GREEN' light filled the room. The Red Priest panicked and Euron could feel a presence was watching him through the flame.
Another poweful sorcerer was using a Valyrian Glass Candle ? Who ? He tried to look back but the light intensified and the room felt very hot at once. Suddenly he heard a childish laughter from the Light.
"STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM WESTEROS YOU CREEPY FUCK OR I will DESTROY YOU" warned a Voice that belonged to a Child. Euron opened his eye patch and looked at the light with his red eye and saw what appears to be a boy with Auburn hair looking at him through the candle's flame.
The Boy looked at him and suddenly the Candle's flame was gone and Darkness filled the room. He shouted for a help when a mute arrive with a torch and Euron could see the Red Priest dead on the floor with blood pouring out of his Eyes and Ears.
Euron felt anger like never before. How dare the wretched child warn him. He is the Drowned god reborn. He vowed to kill the boy no matter how powerful he turned out to be. He picked up the Valyrian Steel Candle and surprised to find it cold to the touch. He felt rage consume him again and he bashed the head of the mute who bought the torch with the Candle. He laughed madly once he heard the man's head splatter.
