Ch 20 House Of Black And White

(Faceless men speak a certain way...that is what 'A Boy' And 'A Man' mean....it's their way of speaking of somebody.)

 . .. . . . .. ... . . .. . . . . .. . . .. . . .. . . . . . .. . . . . ..

Cannibal soared slowly through the dark night as the moonlight glimmered off of his black metallic scales.....

The wind rustled through his wing membranes softly with every powerful flap of his wings.

I'd been flying for three hours and was gazing upon the Colossal Titan of Braavos....

it was magnificent, and if the day went poorly I'd burn it down along with the whole city.

I was hearing the pained cries of the Faceless man who I had hogtied to the saddle.

His cock was split into four, his face had been flayed, and nose removed, instead of eyes I shoved two emeralds in there, one arm had been amputated at the elbow and the other was left with all of its mashed fingers as they flopped around, his feet were cut off, and both of his legs were sown together with steel wire, his chest was entirely flayed as his ribcage was nearly exposed to the world, on his belly were Dozens of brands from hot pokers, and his teeth were all pulled out, his back was torn to shreds after hundreds of whip marks...and my magic kept the Faceless cunt alive and conscious...

I looked at the vast sprawling city in awe.....it was tend od thousands of buildings all floating on small islands...like a more beautiful Venice.

I spotted the House Of Black and White from the sky as we approached the city..... it'd be a shame to burn it all down.

As I approached a loud horn blared and bells began to toll at my approach.

Cannibal Roared in anger and drowned out the horn easily.

I had no fear, even without his enchanted pendant, a scorpion bolt would do little to a monster like Cannibal.

We continued approaching as the bells rang and the horn blared but they didn't dare fire their scorpions...the monstrosity flying towards them seemed unkillable from their perspective.

We continued flying and soared over the Titan as we approached the city's ring...

Cannibal slowed down and we flew towards the island where The House Of Black And White was located.

Cannibal slowed to a hover and descended down onto the island as he struggled to fit in the large courtyard surrounding it.

I stood from the saddle and grabbed the tortured man as I descended my huge Dragon.

Once I was completely off I urged The Cannibal to fly off but stay nearby.

He flew into the air and unleashed a primal screeching noise as he flew off.....

I grabbed the rope tied to the sack of meat that breathed and I dragged him towards the house of black and white as he moaned in pain from his exposed meat rubbing against the ground.

I was dressed in fine black silk robes with my emerald encrusted pendant pinned to my black doublet.

Both of my Valyrian blades resided on my belt and my favorite hooked dagger was in my sleeve.....although my claws were far deadlier....

The huge marble building was tall and imposing...but with no windows....it's two doors were magnificently engraved.

one door of Weirwood, and one door of ebony.

I dragged the groaning sack of flesh up the steps to reach the tall imposing doors.

I knocked three times and waited.

Soon both doors opened simultaneously to reveal a short girl with brown skin and curly hair.

She wore a rough wool tunic and simple cloth slippers.

{"Valar Morghulis"} she spoke in high Valyrian.

{"Valar Dohaeris"} I responded respectfully.

She then motioned for me to come in and so i did.

I followed the girl inside as I dragged the moaning sack of flesh behind me.

We entered and immediately I was very impressed with this building.....large vaulted ceilings, All around everything was lit with small white candles, In the center of the main hall was a large circular pool with many stone cups along it's edges, Many large statues of gods lined the edges of the central shallow pool of poison water.

The hall was entirely empty except for me and the young girl...

 Once we reached near the pool she turned to me and spoke. {"A boy may wait here...."} The girl said and walked off to one of the many arched passageways.

I waited with only the sound of meatbags pained moans sounding out.

I turned to the groaning man and spoke.

"Do you want a cup of water? I'm sure it will help you feel all better...."

It was poison water that granted painless death...

I spoke in a childish voice to the faceless man and he nodded his flayed head yes as he wished for a release from suffering.

"Well that's too bad, a man must pay for his actions still.... for a few more years I think...." I spoke and meatbag began to moan loudly as he pleaded.

I just pulled some salt from my dimensional storage and sprinkled it on his Open wounds as he writhed in pain at every grain of salt... hehehe.....

I continued to torment the faceless man for another ten minutes before I heard soft steps headed in my direction....I stopped torturing the poor sod and turned my head.

An Old man with wrinkled brown skin and a bald head approached, his gnarled and crooked Aspen cane struck the ground softly.

He neared a few feet from me and spoke. 

{"Valar Morghulis"}

I responded {"Valar Dohaeris"} respectfully.

{"What has a boy come to the Temple of black and white to do?"} The old man spoke as he sat beside me.

{"A Boy came to create a friend or finish an enemy.....which choice has yet to be decided..."} I spoke and the old man smiled.

{"A boy is courageous.....what questions has a Boy come to ask a Man?"}

{"A Man made a donation for this Boy's name to be offered 'the Gift'.....A boy wishes to know who that man was."} I spoke and he looked into my Red slitted eyes.

{"If a Man Does not give the boy his answer..... What shall a boy do?"} He asked me with a small smile.

{"A boy shall become a Dragon....."} I responded as my eyes slitted and glowed sinisterly.

A long moment passed before the Faceless man spoke. 

{"Geddero Lantarys offered a boys name."} The old man spoke.

{"A boy thanks a man.....a boy will visit the The Sea Lord Antarys."} I spoke gratefully.

Then I spoke again. {"Does a man wish to keep 'this' thing?" I asked while nudging at the flayed and dismembered faceless man.

{"A Man would be grateful...."} He spoke and I nodded.

{"A Man should know that if it were a boy's wives or children who this 'thing' came to give the gift to.....we would be unable to be the friends we are now...." I spoke as my wings expanded from my body and my claws grew like razor sharp daggers.

The old man looked into the poisoned pool for a few minutes before speaking.... {"The Many faced God Has Heard A Boys Words.....A Man Will Remain Friends With A Boy."} He responded and I nodded before walking out of the temple with my wings still extended.

The Sea Lord himself payed for my death...it was time to become a Dragon.....or rather.....a Demon...
