Chapter 2: Rage Unbound

"Argh… my head, which Malaka hit me?" Alex groaned out low and dryly, as he slowly sat up. It took him a few moments before he noticed the slave collar and chains bounding him. He also noticed he was in a cage along with the many people he saw before.

"Here, have some water. I saved some for you. Sip it though, you have been out for a while, and it is going to be a hot day." A voice said on Alex's right. Alex turned and gladly excepted the waterskin and sipped on it slowly, trying not to take large gulps. The water wasn't cold, but it was refreshing as it washed away the dryness in his throat. Once the boy was finished and had his fill, he turned back towards the person to thank them. Only to be surprised at who he saw.

'Hundred Eyes?! But he shouldn't be here! He must be someone else that looks like him.' Alex was shocked as he saw the person before him as a character from a television show. Alex could also tell the man was blind, just from the milky white eyes of his.

"May I have the waterskin back?" The blind man asked as he held his hand out for the waterskin. Alex realized he was lost in thought, that he still held what was given to him. Alex nodded as he returned it.

"Um, thanks for that… so what's your name?" The boy asked as the blind man shook his head and chuckled playfully.

"It is rude to ask someone their name, without introducing yourself first." The Blind man continued to chuckle for a bit.

"Ah crap, sorry about that! I'm Alexander Keeman, so what's yours?" Alex asked after correcting himself. The blind man smirked as he found this strange boy amusing.

"You may call me Hundred Eyes, maybe in time you may know my real name. But for now, you may refer to me as Hundred Eyes." The now proclaimed Hundred Eyes said. Alex on the other hand was having a miniature meltdown, as his suspicions were all confirmed.

'What… What is actually happening right now, Okay Alex, think! Okay so me and the fam went to Greece to celebrate grandad's birthday, we went to the usual beach we always go to. Me and Jason went cliff jumping and-… Wait… wait, wait, wait… The water, it looked really odd. No, no~. I must be tripping mad balls right now. Maybe I just hit my head on a rock or something underwater and I'm in a coma? Yeah, maybe that's it! That's got to be it… But what if it isn't and by all means I really am in the George R R Martins universe. If I am, did Jason follow me-.' Alex was snapped out of his existential crisis when he heard banging on the cage scaring the rest of the slaves. It was one of the guards he encountered on the beach when he was knocked out.

'Oh, how I have a bone to pick with them.' Alex feeling his rage burning under his skin. Just as he was about to stand and confront the soldier. He felt a hand on his shoulder as it pushed him back down. However, the hand wasn't from Hundred Eyes, since it came from his left. Turning to see the person who stopped him, his eyes widened again. As the person who stopped him was none other than a young Ragnar from Vikings. And sitting beside him was Lagertha, Rollo and Floki. The three of them looked like they were about two maybe three years older than he was. Now Alex was starting to feel lightheaded as he saw more people who shouldn't be here.

'WHY ARE THEY HERE?!... Did my arrival change things, were they brought here like me or were they born into this universe… So many questions, so little answers.' Alex started scratching and gripping his hair in frustration.

"Hehe, this one is strange." Floki giggled as his hands started twitching a bit.

"I'm sure he must be shocked that he has become a slave. Or the heat could have got to him?" Rollo said as he rested his head on the cage and closed his eyes. Lagertha pulled her knees to her chest and rested her head on them.

"Do not anger them! or they will take it out on everyone else along with you. And right now, we do not need that." Ragnar scolded Alex who could only nod his head. All of this was getting too much for him. Alex could only wish it was all a dream. He looked at the other cages too see if there was anybody else, he could recognise. And recognise he did. In the cage to his left there was Bayek from assassin's creed, and Spartacus from the show Spartacus. On the cage to his right, he saw Arthur from legend of the sword. And sitting in the centre of a cell to himself was none other than Ouki, from kingdom. Other than those individuals, there was no one else.

"Look at this Yitish dog!" The soldier who bonked Alex over the head started mocking Ouki as he spat on him. The others encouraged, also too started mocking, spitting and beating him. But Ouki took it like a boss and continued to sit as still as a statue.

"What are you all doing?! start packing up we need to move out before it starts getting later. We are already behind schedule!" The person who called out was none other than Valar Gyserion. As he walked out of his tent along with the rest of his soldiers and a few slave women. When Alex saw the men throw the women back into the cages, he tried his hardest to stay calm. Alex knew exactly what Valar and his men were doing and it made him sick to his stomach. But this was now the reality of the world he ended up in. Alex closed his eyes and leaned his head back and rested for a bit to try and calm himself. However, what he didn't realize was a spark of red flow between his hands and fingers. But a certain twin blue orbs took notice with curiosity.

They have travelled for a full day before making camp once again. Throughout the whole trip Alex was lost in his thoughts or napping as he wanted to try and conserve as much energy as he could. But that was hard when the sun was blaring down on him and with small amount of water and barely any food. Along with the thoughts that plagued his mind. But day was slowly ending, and night was fast approaching. As he looked up, he could see some stars wondering what he should do.

"Alrighty you sad sacks of shit, here's your dinner, enjoy." The random soldier said as he dropped a bucket of what looked like mush.

"Oh wait, I forgot to add the fishing touch. Hawk tuah. Hahahaha enjoy~." After he walked off to join the other slavers to eat roast meats and whatever other delicious smelling dishes. The slaves rushed to the slop and started fighting for it. Alex could only watch in sadness at the state of the people.

"Why do you not eat boy?" Hundred eyes asked Alex curiously.

"I'm not eating that, who knows what it is? But he also just spat in that, and that's nasty." Alex scoffed as he spoke in a barely audible tone. Hundred Eyes chuckled when he heard it clearly, even over the sound of the other slaves fighting.

"Hey, quick question… Do you know where we are, and where we are headed too?" Alex asked Hundred Eyes, but before he could reply someone beat him to it.

"We are heading to Volantis. As of this moment we are situated between the borders of Volantis and the Disputed lands, closer to Lys. But I would say at this pace we might arrive in Volantis around nine days. Maybe?" Ragnar spoke as he tilted his head to the side and stared at Alex with his curious blue eyes, that seemed to glow a bit in the dark.

"Ragnar is correct." Hundred Eyes confirmed.

"What year is it?" Alex asked as he turned his head towards Ragnar while also turning to Hundred Eyes.

"The year is 104 AC in Westeros. From what I last heard." Ragnar informed them.

"So~… Um, didn't quite catch your names except for you Ragnar. But who are the other three, you seem close?" Alex asked feigning ignorance, since calling their names without them introducing themselves would get him weird looks of suspicion.

"Well as you heard I am Ragnar. This is my brother Rollo. This here is Lagertha, and the one over there, who called you strange is none other than Floki. We all come from the island of Skagos in the north. And that is where we were taken from." Ragnar pointed at each individual as he introduced his little crew. As Alex gave each of them a nod of confirmation. As each one nodded back.

"Well, I'm Alex and this here is my good friend Hundred eyes. We go way back." Alex joked with a smirk, as he pointed towards Hundred Eyes direction with his thumb. Hundred Eyes, Ragnar and his crew could only chuckle and shake their heads.

"Where are you from Hundred eyes?" Ragnar asked out of curiosity.

"I hail from the golden empire of Yi Ti." Hundred eyes said as he turned his face away a bit. The others could see the pain that flashed through his voice and face. Alex and Ragnar chose not to push any further. They were about to continue their conversation, however that stopped as they heard footsteps approaching towards them.

"Ah, hello little foreigner." Valar mocked as he walked towards Alex's cage with his men following behind him. There was about eleven of them, as another two stood guard at the main tents entrance. Which was situated a bit further away from the slave cages.

"Well, isn't that just rude, not even a greeting back?" Valar said mockingly, as he had a crooked smirk that showed of a golden tooth. Alex only glared at Valar, not saying a single word.

"Very well, I care not. My men and I have come for some women to enjoy." Valar said as he turned around, waved off Alex and started walking away. The men opened the cages and started grabbing their pick. Valar however stopped in place took a few steps back and turned around to face Alex's cage. He then started look at the slaves in the cage until his eyes landed on Lagertha.

"You! I think I'll have you tonight." Valar pointed at Lagertha with lust burning in his eyes. The whole groups eyes widened in horror as Lagertha started moving away from the cage doors. Alex and the rest of the group got up to their feet and moved in front of her.

"YOU WILL NOT TOUCH HER!" Ragnar yelled and his blue eyes burned with fury. Alex, Rollo, Floki and Hundred Eyes all stood with him. Making a barrier between Lagertha and Valar. Valar only scoffed as he signalled his men to retrieve Lagertha. Ten out of the eleven men that followed Valar walked into the cage and started beating everyone with shields and clubs. Alex was hit in the left cheek with a shield, but Alexander refused to fall as he returned a punch towards the guard's face. However, he was wearing a helmet that when Alex fist collided with it. Alex only hurt himself in the process.

'OW! Okay, next time don't hit armoured men in the face.' Alex thought as he cradled his hand. However, the soldier didn't take too kindly to receive a punch to the face, helmet or not. So, he retaliated by once again shield bashing Alex in the face again and this time it split Alex's bottom lip as blood flowed down. Due to Alex's size however since he stood at five-foot ten inches and the soldier was about six feet. Alex was thrown towards the cage walls. Dazing him in the process as stars flew around in his vision.

As Alex was gathering his bearings the others were also receiving the same treatment as he was. Though Hundred Eyes was fairing better than all of them, by taking three of them out. But was forced to give in when they drew their blades. Two other soldiers managed to bypass the fighting and forcefully grabbed Lagertha by the hair. They dragged her out however, Lagertha not one to give up, managed to grab a dagger on one of the soldier's belts. She quickly unsheathed the steel weapon and plunged it in between the man's ribs. Through the gap of his breastplate the blade struck true. But it wasn't a killing blow, so the man turned around and back handed her across her cheek. He then began dragging her by her neck out of the cage. As this happened Valar was laughing up a storm.

"You know what, after starting this little uprising… I will enjoy her. And I will keep her as my pet." Valar said with that crooked smile of his.

"NO! please… Let her go!" Ragnar said as Valar's men held cold steel at his neck. Valar gave his men a signal, as they sheathed their weapons and returned to stand behind Valar. As the last soldier closed the cell door behind him and locked it.

"Say goodbye to your lover, girl. Because you're mine now." Valar said mockingly as he gripped Lagertha by her chin and forced her to look at Ragnar. Ragnar, Rollo, Floki could only look at her in defeat and sorrow.

"Let them go!" A soft voice demanded behind Ragnar and his group. Everyone there felt something was off, the started to feel heavy. Valar and his men started to feel a pit starting to form in their stomachs. Ouki feeling the air shift opened his eyes as in interest as a smirk played across his face. Arthur, Spartacus and Bayek. Also felt the shift in the air looked towards the person who was making this shift.

"Let. Them. Go." Alex said as each word he spoke the pit Valar's stomach started to get larger. Alex walked towards the cell door and gripped the bars.

"Oh yeah, and what are you going to do boy?!" Valar said with the last bit of bravado he could muster up. Alex's grip on the cell doors started getting tighter as the bars slowly started bending. Alex was ignorant to the action, but everyone saw what he was doing.

"I. Said. Let. THEM… GO!" Alex had enough as he yelled a red flame like aura covered Alexander as the aura was more prominent from his shoulder and it ran down his arms. Everyone's eyes widened in shock, as the cell door flew of it's hinges and collided with one of the guards. Crushing him in the process. Alex ripping of his slave collar and chains and roared as he sprinted towards one of Valar's men. The very same one that shield bashed Alex. Was superman punched in the face, but due to Alex's enhanced strength. The man's head popped as like a balloon as blood and brain matter went everywhere. Alex didn't stop there as he spartan kicked another. The kick dented the breastplate and sent the soldier flying into another soldier. That left Valar with eight more soldiers who were now weary of the enraged boy. Alex turned towards Valar and started walking towards him.

"Monster, you're a little monster! Men… G-Get him, attack!" One man who had a bow took aim and shot. The arrow flew and hit Alex in the shoulder, but he was so full of rage he ran towards the archer grabbed him by the neck and choke slammed him. The archer's spine snapped on impact with the desert ground. Alex pulled the arrow out and stabbed the arrow into the man's eye. Alex eyes locked with Valar as the rest of his men rushed the boy.

"GET THEM!" Alex heard Ragnar yelled as the rest of the slaves ran out of the cage and attacked the soldiers.

"Nufufufufu, you intrigue me child. Open my cell and I will assist you in your endeavour." Ouki said as he smiled from his cell on Alex's left. Alexander walked towards the cell door and stood for a moment before gripping the cell door and ripped them of their hinges. He walked forward and tore of Ouki's collar and shackles. Ouki feeling the lack of weight fall off him. He stood to his full height and nodded towards Alex before entering the fray. The raged boy turned back towards the direction of Valar to see he had Lagertha as a hostage, as he held a blade towards her throat. Everyone finishing up the soldiers started surrounding Valar.

'How could this happen… Everything went down hill when that boy arrived from the sea.' Valar quickly grabbed Lagertha into a headlock as he put his blade towards the whore's neck.

"Try anything funny and I cut your pretty little neck!" Valar whispered into Lagertha's ear. As he started dragging her towards a horse.

"VALAR!" Ragnar yelled as he stabbed the last soldier. Valar cussed under his breath as he saw his men slaughtered in front of him.

"COME ANY CLOSER AND SHE DIES!" Valar yelled, as he kept walking back towards the horse.

"Let her go and you can leave." Ragnar once again tried to free Lagertha peacefully.

"No! she comes with me!" Valar yelled back once again. But he heard footsteps in the sand. Valar's instincts kicked in as he spun around and blocked a blade that was aimed for him. But he was unsuccessful as he heard another roar from behind as the boy that started all this was in front of him in an instant. The boy then held Valar's arm and tossed the girl away. Valar was then grabbed by his throat as he was hoisted into the air and slammed into the ground.

"Stay a-away from me… please… please don't kill me!" Valar cried as he started to try and crawl away. Alex started walking slowly towards his crawling victim. Valar didn't know if it was the footsteps or his heartbeats but at this very moment this was the most terrifying moment of his life.

"How many people asked you that! DID YOU LET THEM LIVE!" Alex roared, as he jumped on Valar's back and gripped him by his shoulders, and slammed Valar's face into the ground three times. before he turned Valar over and started choking him. Valar tried everything he could to escape, he tried punching, clawing and even biting but nothing seemed to work. He starred up into the face of Alex as his eyes glowed an amber gold.

"M-Monster!" Valar Whispered with his last breath as he stared up at Alex. Alex on the other hand started to feel the effects of the rage starting to subside. And it was then that he started to realize what happened.

"W-What have I done?!" Alex whispered as he quickly stood up. But his eyes didn't leave Valar's corpse. He then brought his hands up as he starred at them with horror. Alex didn't hear Ragnar or Hundred Eye's call his name, because his heart was beating in his chest like thunder and his world spun as he began to get dizzy and lightheaded. He then felt a large hand land on his shoulder, as he turned around towards Ouki, who had a look of understanding.

"It's okay now, my boy." After hearing that all the energy left Alex as he collapsed. But he didn't feel the ground this time as Ouki had caught him. Feeling Ouki's presence Alex embraced sweet embrace of slumber.
