Ch 21 Painting The Walls

I walked the dark streets of Braavos on my way to the Sea Lord's palace the air was humid and hot tonight, the thick smell of sea air was apparent with every breath.

on my walk i had already killed three men who challenged me to a duel and I saw another eyeing me.

He approached alongside his friend and spoke. {"I Yalid Son of Xander am offended by your arrogant black clothing....I challenge you to a duel if you are not a coward...."} he spoke with a hand on his sword.

Braavosi duelist's have a tradition to make up any excuse to challenge a man with a sword in their hip, the first one I faced said my boots were too shiny and demanded a duel.....oh well.

{"I Ser Maegor Green Flame The Blood Eyed Targeryen Accept Your Challenge."} I spoke as I drew both of my Valyrian blades.

The man's eyes widened when he heard my name but he couldn't back down now.....his honor as a swordsman was at stake.

He drew his rapier and raised his guard as we circled each other.

He moved for a quick stab to my thigh while bending low.

I blocked his sword with one blade, and slashed at his soft belly with the other.

His guts spilled on the dirty cobblestone street and he collapsed while screaming.

His friend ran to his side and cupped his face while trying to comfort the screaming man.

I then walked up to him and spoke. {"Yalid Son Of Xander....I will always remember you as a warrior in my heart..."} Then I stabbed at his heart as a soft smile appreared on his groaning face.

I walked away as his friend stayed kneeling beside his body....

(15 minutes later)

I stood before the great Palace of the Sea Lord and gazed at the beautiful building for only a moment before I drew my Valyrian blades and walked up the the main palace doors.

The guards saw me approaching and instantly pointed their spears and others drew their swords.

{"Away with you boy, The Palace is closed for visitors!!! don't make me have to shove my sword up your ass."} The Captain spoke.

I continued walking until I was a few feet away, he laughed and moved to cut me down.

I blocked his blade and swished my sword horizontally across his waist.

Chainmail, silk shirt, skin, flesh, bones and all were sliced cleanly by my Valyrian blade and the mans two peices hit the floor as blood gushed everywhere.

The other Guards yelled and rushed at me with their weapons ready to cut me down. 

A moved with my Vampiric speed as I swished and stabbed my blades at the seven men who found their hands severed, their legs cut off at the knees and their guts spilling onto the cold cobblestone road.

Their pained groans and screams Resounded through the night air as i picked up the live guards one by one.

My long sharp fangs extended as I tore into their throats and drank all the exotic fresh blood.

Once the last of them had been drank dry I turned to the tall steel and gold engraved doors of the palace.

I turned into my shadow form and slipped through the cracks as I Rematerialized on the other side.

There were already cries from servants who saw the slaughter through the narrow windows.

They ran away to hide and some headed to alert the guards.

The heavy sound of thudding boots and clatter of steel and bronze armor as the Guards ran to greet whatever threat was outside.

Within moments of being inside dozens of armored and unarmored men dressed lavishly charged into the Room with weapons drawn.

{"It's just a white haired boy....one of you capture him, he is pretty enough to enjoy for a few days"} the slimy commander of the Guards called out and two men in bronze scale armor walked towards me to take me away.

With a flurry of slashes I cut them into chunks as the other men widened their eyes in shock.

{"KILL HIM!!!!"} The slimy man screamed and dozens of guards rushed at me to cut me down.

I jumped into the fray while moving like a whirlwind, twirls of dual Valyrian blades cut arms from shoulders and legs from hips as long trails of fresh blood flew with each swish of my wicked blades.

It was a festival of carnage as I sliced dozens of hands and legs.....before long the guards attempted to run but caused a jam in the doorway as all tried to escape at once.

I rushed at their exposed backs and slashed men in two by the Score with each swish and slash.

The blood and gore flowed like water in a river as dozens of men lay screaming and crying on the polished marble floor of the Palace.

I touched the exterior wall of the castle while drinking one screaming man dry, I cast a spell on the entire castle to lock any exits.....there would be no escaping what was to come.

I drank a few more screaming guards before walking down the main hall.

I could hear the crying of servant girls and the voices of male servants trying to hush them up.

I heard the hundreds of heartbeats just in this section of the Palace and would have my vengeance.

I walked to one room that was locked, I could hear their soft and trembling breaths from the outside.

I kicked the door as it splintered and flew open as the hinges broke.

I walked in and looked around, the room was entirely empty....but I could smell their tears and their hearts beating.

{"The first of you to come out will survive the night.....don't make me wait..."} I spoke as I licked some blood off my blade...

After a few seconds a cabinet opened and a young flat chested servant girl about fourteen crawled out while trembling as she cried silently....snot ran down her nose as she stood and looked at the floor.

{"Wait outside girl"} I told her and she nodded before scurrying outside.

She looked down the hall at the river of blood and mountain of corpses and her crying only increased as her sobbing became Audible.

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

Inside the room I slashed at cabinets and cut two hiding servants in half, I flipped a bed to reveal screaming women and men as I hacked them to bits with my sharp blades, heads and arms flew wildly in all directions.

I walked to the closet and kicked the wooden door as it smashed inwards and screams Resounded as I split the crying servants in half.

After I was done I walked outside to spot the girl standing there while covering her face.

{"Follow me."} I ordered and she nodded.

I began to walk from chamber to chamber as I hacked all the inhabitants into shreds with my Valyrian blades, I showed no mercy to whoever was being dashed to pieces.

Before long two dozen more guards came running at me, all wore bronze armor..

I shredded them before drinking their delicious red blood.

From room to room I found people attempting to open windows or break down doors to leave the hell house but none could escape their demise.

After the entire first floor of the palace was cleared I moved to the second as the little servant girl followed me meekly, she saw me dash every other person to bits...

Her entire dress, hair, and skin was now drenched in blood and bits of flesh from all the slaughter that occured nearby her.

I turned to her and asked. {"Where is the Sea Lord's Chambers?"} As I looked into her crying brown eyes.

{T....The....Fifth....Level....is where The Lord....and His family stays...} The girl stuttered out and I patted her head before handing over a bag of chocolates from my dimensional store....I spoke to her.

{"Good girl....clean yourself up, I expect for you to eat all of those by the time I return...."} I told her then walked off and up to the large oppulent stairway.

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

I had walked from floor to floor, room to room as I slaughtered servants and guards alike, the fourth floor was for foreign dignitaries so I gathered them up and spoke to them as a group.

{"My apologies for the sudden disturbance this late at night...The Sea Lord has insulted me and tonight I came to return the favour..." I spoke as I licked my Blade...

They all looked at me in horror as they trembled.....one brave man from Myr spoke.

{"W...Who....Are You....A Demon?"} He asked and the other diplomats looked on at me in horror.

The carnage and screams had been heard for three hours now, and now they saw it was only a boy drenched in blood with glowing red eyes.

I just laughed at the man. "Hahahaha!!!!....I can be a Demon but I am usually a Prince.....I am Maegor Green Flame, The Blood Eyed, of House Targeryen....." I spoke with a flourish.

"I thought....the rumors were false.....please Prince Maegor we weren't involved in any insults from the Sea Lord...." The Myrish man spoke and the others quickly agreed with trembling bodies....

"I know...you all may go to the lower levels until I am finished with my stroll.....there is a servant girl there which I will take into my service, should any harm come to her I shall become a Demon once more...." I spoke and all the diplomats nodded vigorously as they swore not to touch her.

I gave them a smile and walked up the large marble stairwell once more.....there was still much more to do.....
