CHAPTER 13(Edited)

[Nivary Vonn Marr POV]

Madness.

The scene in front of him could only be described as such.

Bloodthirsty beasts, larger than he has ever seen before, ripping and tearing up men, and women alike.

But, that's not what scared him the most.

No, it was how they massacred his fellow outlaws, that ran his blood cold...

For they all seemed to have the same targets: him and his so-called "brothers". All while ignoring the slaves and captives standing petrified by the side, completely.

This was no natural occurrence, of this, he knew.]

Several different species you would only find deep within the continent, sharing the same goal?

Voon suspected there was something, or someone, behind all this.

Still, it didn't help to calm his growing fears amid the loud and painful shouts around the island docks.

It all happened so quickly...

At first, the night was lively like any other...

The corsairs were drinking while telling stories of their voyage spoils, slavers sell their 'goods' in the island center auction, and the wenches roamed around the mud streets, snatching every living wondering soul for a gold piece.

All was as normal as it should be...

Until it wasn't.

The local dock was the first to make noise, which we initially ignored since fighting and murder were largely common around these parts, so, as usual, we just waited until it finished...

And it did, strangely fast too, I noticed.

But still gave no mind, maybe they all killed themselves, it wasn't rare to find entire crews fighting for some treasure, it usually ended fast, especially when robbers quickly take part in it as well, promptly ending it sooner.

It was only when the bases around us began to show the same commotions, that I grew wary.

I wasn't the only one to notice this however, my business partner, Miguel, also suspected something was off.

So, together with a dozen of my men-rest were either too drunk or whoring around somewhere-we began a slow-paced towards the now, apparent, chaotic streets...

The first 2 of my men to die were the ones in the front. White bats appeared from the sides, flying towards them, later sinking their fangs in their collar bones and faces.

Three minutes, in which we were evading giant wasps, was all it took to finish, only leaving a semi-dried corpse behind.

Next, it was time for seven of my best subordinates, to go down.

Agile basilisks larger than half the size of man, first swat the swords away with their long and heavy tails, before clutching their poisonous jaws into their necks.

The poison worked too fast for them to even realize it happening, killing them in the process.

And when I saw the rest of my man too afraid to even move... I decided to flee this place, where those demons couldn't reach me...

And so I did.

Running through the alleys with sweat drenching the back of my shirt I dodged every one of those deadly creatures...

Finally, after 2 hours of hiding and escaping, I reached the docks.

Only to find that I wasn't the only one that had the same idea...

Hundreds were pointlessly trying to reach the transports, just to be stopped by an impregnable wall of giant, legged serpents attacking and dismembering every single one that came too close to them.

At the same time, when turning west, I almost lost my bearings when I saw "it''.

Long night-black neck and wings, extending meters above the ground, nozzle-like mouth showcasing dozens, if not hundreds of sharp teeth able to lacerate a full-grown man, in one bite.

This creature of table stories was crushing everyone in his path, almost as if they were mere pigs for slaughter.

I couldn't help but fall to the ground with wide eyes and mouth agape."T-Thi-This c-can't be possible!!" I exclaimed, not wanting to admit such an abomination exists and is currently hunting us down.

It was then, that I saw a masked man, crush another's head, like crushing an apple. His mask appeared to be made of wood, carved in strange symbols and sporting an animalistic look.

The beasts seem to protect him, almost as if...if he was one of their own...

Putting this important information for later, I gathered my remaining mental strength to rise to my feet and started to desperately run for the fishing boat docket in the middle of the screaming ships.

Not once did I look backward, as I knew, that if I did, I would lose all hope of escaping this nightmare.

When I got to the boat, I found that there were only two crocks currently protecting it. So, making up my mind, I brandished my scimitar and sneakily rushed to the one closer to my destiny.

"*Stab!* KRRAH!!" It yelled in pain when I stabbed its eye, thrashing around wildly.

Taking advantage of its distracted state, I jumped towards the boat while avoiding his approaching companions.

Rapidly untying the ropes binding the small boat, I wasted no time jumping inside it, putting my whole being in rowing far from Talor.

I continued this for 3 hours, only stopping because I no longer felt my arms. And only when did that happen did I pay attention to the sight in front of my eyes...

Wyverns almost the size of the last one, flying over the city, sometimes diving and crashing into dozens of people at the same time, land sharks preying on those who fell on the shores.

Basilisks of all sizes invaded the ships, leaving no place for the passengers to run. But even when trying to fight, they were interrupted by large flying insects whose sting paralyzed and slowed the victim, leaving them at the lizard's mercy...

My knees trembled, making me buckle under my own weight. "How...How did this happen..." I asked absentmindedly, not yet understanding reality as it was.

How could I? Talor island was an outpost for all illegal business. No one would dare to attack it, as once did so, it would result in every outlaw in the summer sea constantly trying to destroy, said, someone.

But...someone did it.

Someone had the balls to do it. With an army of wild beasts, on that...

"...The only thing I can do now, is to warn the others" I sighed, trying to regain my strength.

That masked fucker will die, we'll make sure of it.

*Splash!* *Thud*

"Huh?" I was cut from my thoughts when I felt something hitting the boat. Something large...

"!! No no NO! PISS OFF!!" I yelled anxiously at the countless fishes surrounding me in the water.

"ARGH!!" Shit! He jumped at me!

"I'm fucking grilling yo-AH!! NO!!!" I Shouted, realizing they were trying to turn my boat around.

And so, I fell.

I could instantly feel tiny mouths feasting on my flesh. Ripping my skin and muscles apart.

My arms and legs reached in all directions...but they were too many...

Ah, Valar...Morghulis...

[Art Murlin POV]

As my 'subordinates' end up finishing the last ones of the outlaws...

I was left alone, couple with Noctur, with hundreds of slaves and captives, varying from children to adults(although there are more women than men) that were to be sold in Talor's, and other auctions...

I could recognize some races. The more notorious among them were the Brindled man, Naathi, Dothraki, and even some Lengii.

Lengii were people that originated from Leng, a closed island located in the jaded Sea, being the tallest known race of mankind. With some reaching seven or eight feet in height.

They are slender people known for their beauty and having oiled teak skin color. With large eyes golden that grants them superior vision over other races.

I didn't even know they sailed that far to get slaves. Even more, considering the reclusion those tall people usually live in...

And then we have the Naathi, who also carries a unique look to them, with flat faces, dark skin, and golden eyes, which are enchanting to look at...

Well, enough staring awkwardly. Time to introduce myself.

I cleared my throat, "Gre-" "Thank you for saving us, Sir!" Some children cried in tears before I had the opportunity to say anything.

"O-Oh. It was nothing, eh, I was just doing my job!" I smiled brightly at them, sending them a thumbs up.

Some of the men looked at me weirdly. Probably not expecting this attitude from someone commanding various deadly creatures.

While the women look...relieved?

"So, now that you're free, what do you plan to do from now on?" I asked them. It's not like I could take care of dozens of children while traveling around.

It's not safe, nor is it reasonable...

"S-Savior, if wouldn't mind, could you tell us your destination from here?" Asked a young Naathii woman.

"Humm, sure. I plan to go sailing west to see if I can recruit some people to help me in my travels" I told them my initial plan.

Although seeing as there's Naathi here, probably I'll have to pass through Naath first...

"T-Then does that mean Naath as well?!" She asked hopefully.

"Of course, I heard that the Naath people are pretty smart, so I would be a fool not to stop there on the way," I stated, as matter of fact.

"I-I see..." She ended, looking at the ground.

"Any more questions?" I turn to look at the rest.

"M'ath!" "M'ath!" "M'ath!" Chanted the dothraki men, and I have no ideia what it means...

"Lord, we pay your respects!" Explained one of them with a rough accent.

"Oh! Ehh, I would be honored" I nodded shortly.

"Our honor it is, my khal" He spoke, bowing his head to me, as did the other 20 or so.

I nodded, "Un, good. Now, can any of you tell me what year this is? On the westerosi calendar, that is." I asked.

This was the moment of truth, as depending on the answer, I would have to change my plans a bit...

"My lord, it's the end of the year 287 A.C" Answered a woman with blond hair and a slender appearance.

I looked upwards, at the setting skies.

My eyes closed in contemplation.

"*Sigh*" 288 A.C huh...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So yeah, praticaly 1 year until Greyjoy rebellion if you didn't know already. Which means John, Robb and Dany are all 5-6 years old.

Which also means....cute loli Dany must be protected!

Stay tuned for the next chapter and leave a comment, review, or anything at all, I really aprecciate it!
