Chapter 13

The creature before me did not reply, it couldn't as I had frozen it completely. Nor would I even allow it to twitch as that alone could prove fatal. For what sat before me is a faceless one. The Faceless Men, that is their official name, are a religious society of assassins who worship the Many-Faced God, a god of death.

Looking through its memories I was surprised at the level of training it had to endure. As I suspected, Arya Stark becoming a badass assassin in the span of a few months was complete bullshit.

Turns out this one was a deserter, honestly didn't think that was possible but she managed it. Apparently she is considered the best at erasing her presence, I think. Anyway, the important thing is that I now have myself a highly skilled assassin. She will most definitely become a part of my inner circle. Now, where should we start?

I imparted the usual package of loyalty and devotion towards me. Once that was done I decided to end it there, what I have planned for it requires a more detailed approach. Besides, I don't have the material to make any serious changes.

I gave her some orders to follow for the time being. Simple things really, I just need her to get the other silent sisters to allow me to touch them. Once that was done I released its hand and it's eyes changed to those of adoration.

It quickly got a hold of itself and turned to the other sisters present. A few hand signs later and the other four lined up to revive my blessing. Once the deed was done I sat back in my chair with a smile on my face.

"Septa Melahnie, I thank you for your assistance. I think I've got everything under control here, why don't you head on back and do whatever it is you do."

"Of course, I wish you a good day." She replied before swiftly leaving the room.

Now that it was just the seven of us I began. "You four, I need you to prepare a room that I may use for my holy work. It should be very private, we wouldn't want anyone intruding on the divine tasks that will take place there. Make sure there are some corpses there when I arrive. But before you do that I need you to bring a corpse to this room immediately."

The four nodded their heads and immediately left the room. I turned towards the creature and beckoned it to come closer. "Come here, I need to transfer your knowledge over to Katyia."

Once it stood before me it knelt down on its knees and lowered its head. I placed my hand on its head and the other on Katyia's shoulder. The first thing I did was transfer all its combat knowledge over to Katyia. Then came the skills it learned while training as a faceless one. There were so many things it knew, this truly was a huge catch.

I had planned to use the twins and Lucan to capture some sell swords or mercenaries and transfer their collective combat knowledge to my group. Well, I'd still have to do that for the twins as the skills of this creature are not really suited for them. This is more beneficial to Katyia so I'm glad she is now able to properly defend herself and more importantly me. Once that was done I looked at Katyia.

"How do you feel, my dear?"

She opened her eyes and looked at me with a smile on her face. "I feel amazing, my love. You've made me stronger, faster and even smarter. I feel as though I can truly protect you now. It feels good to be of use to you, my love."

I smiled and pulled her in for a kiss, then I pulled away and laughed. "I'm glad you feel that way since I'll be relying on you heavily."

"You can place your burdens on me, that is my reason for existing." she replied.

"Damn girl, you really know what to say to a guy. I'll reward you later." I said while kissing her again before turning my attention to the thing kneeling at my feet.

"Enough with the whole mute nonsense, you will speak when addressing me. Do you understand?" I asked.

"I understand, master." it replied and its voice was surprisingly deep which kinda creeped me out.

"From now on you will refer to me as, Holy Father. For now though, while we are in the presence of others just call me Victor." I said, feeling quite self important.

"As you command, Holy Father." it replied.

We sat in silence for some time before the door was opened and two of the sisters returned. They carried a body wrapped in cloth, kinda like a mummy actually. "Place it on the table."

They did as I commanded and placed the body on the table and I wasted no time and put my hand on it and the creature at my feet. Now that I had material I could really begin my work. Who should I make her look like? There's so many beautiful women in my mind, but who to choose? I thought long and hard and eventually came to a decision. I imagined the image of Maleficent played by Angelina Jolie, her face was very striking in that movie.

As the image took shape in my mind, its body began to change. I made a few alterations to its body to make it more lithe and athletically built. I also added the same benefits Katyia has as well. Once the process was complete I opened my eyes and looked down at my latest creation.

"From this day onwards, you live to serve me. As Katyia is my right hand, an extension of my will. You will be my left hand, you will be my blade, you will be my judgment. You have taken many names, but from this day forward you will be known as, Hassani-ha Shashin, my assassin." As I proclaimed her name she looked up at me and spoke in the most silky voice I had ever heard. And as I looked down at the most vibrant emerald eyes I had ever seen, I was mesmerized.

"I swear death unto you enemies, I swear eternal servitude, I swear my life, I am yours to command, Holy Father."
