280 AC New Ghis
Together with Daario we are waiting for Qoohr to arrive at the mansion. Daario will wait in the room together with Diana, Natasha, Leonidas and 2 other guards while I and a retinue of men will accompany him to the room with his entourage as if I were the butler of the mansion. There he is the sack of shit....
"Welcome Master Qoohr! Master Daario has sent me to welcome you and escort you to his solarium." I tell him when he is in front of me.
"Isn't Master Daario coming to welcome me personally?" He replies to me feigning annoyance that he does not feel.
"Not at all Master Qoohr!!! Master Daario has sent me, his esteemed guest to welcome you! A better welcome than I received myself--I can guarantee it on my life." I answer him with a smile.
"Oh! And who would you be then?" He answers with some curiosity.
"A merchant of precious "objects" and much more... I have brought several rare artifacts to Master Daario and if you would like to have one with me after this interview to discuss business I would be honored. Now if you will allow me, I would accompany you to Master! I would not like to keep him waiting too long." As I speak I point the way.
"Sure! It will be interesting I guess..." He replies as he follows me.
As I continue my conversation I observe his retinue and notice that he has brought 15 guards and 5 slaves to come to the mansion. With the 5 people in the room they will have no problem knocking out the whole group and after that I will have to come in and do my job.
"Here we are Master Qoohr, you and your entourage can come in. Master Daario is waiting for you here." As I speak I open the door showing the people inside and notice a grin appear on his face-I can only think what a jerk....
Closing the door I hear them begin to discuss how their business is going, until Qoohr says he wants to commandeer all his assets and take Daario's life. At that moment I hear a brief fight before I enter and see 15 dead guards, 5 slaves on their knees in tears, and Qoohr horrified and rooted to the chair.
(A few moments later Leonidas POV).
"... And also I want your life!" Qoohr shouts! And in the process the guards draw their swords and begin the attack.
With a quick movement I draw my sword and attack the guard pointing at Daario, I parry his blow and with my strength manage to send him back a few steps and seeing his stunned face I execute a cut and sever his head. I turn and face the other two guards who attack me with my hand I grab the wrist of one and throw it at the other! They fall to the ground and I throw myself on the two stabbing one in the heart while I kick the second one in the head breaking his neck.
I turn to attack the others... But I see Diana cutting a man in two and finishing what I think is her 3 kill, Natasha twisting a man's neck, and the 2 new guards finishing off their opponents leaving only the slaves and the asshole.
I have never fought so well in my life. Master told me that there will be a chance to improve a lot in the future, especially in sword arts and other weapons if I prefer! The day he chose me to be his commander was the day of God's blessing, whatever God is!
(End POV Leonidas)
"Oh Master Qoohr what happened in here to cause all these deaths? You did not think of doing something stupid to my dear subordinate Daario? I certainly hope not. Otherwise it won't end well for you..." I say, staring at him with an evil grin.
"You.. You..You...Who are you? Let me go and I will pretend that nothing ever happened!!! Otherwise if anything happens to me the other Masters would have the authority to command Prendahl na Ghezn to kill you because you would have broken the balance of power in the city and made us vulnerable to outside incursions !!!" He shouts at me with a hint of hope, but with deep fear seeing the smile that would not leave my face.
"Oh... But who said I'm going to kill you? No first I will check you out and then replace you with a more suitable person. The same thing will happen with the other masters of course." As I speak I touch his head and instill loyalty and take all his memories. Well he is much more capable than Daario--who from what I can see was the weakest of all, both in military strength and money.
Oh the boy has a Valyrian steel sword in his vault! Interesting, I really want to see the difference between regular steel and this. One thing I have overlooked is the fact that none of the masters focus on making weapons and armor, but they buy everything from other cities... A good business to invest in and to forge better weapons by bringing in famous smiths who are good at their work. I need to inquire about getting some and then do skill transfer to others.
"Keep doing your thing, try to get me some formidable fighters. Skilled not with swords, with whatever a weapon is." I order him as he looks up waiting for orders.
"Yes Master. Do you also need other types of slaves? Of noble origin, scholars, navigators, pleasure slaves?" Qoohr asks me.
"Mmmm now that I think about it if you can get me scholars, navigators maybe from the Iron Islands and some nobles from Westeros that would be great! Also do you know where to find competent blacksmiths? I would like to start forges in our city." I ask to fill my lack of information.
"The best blacksmiths in Essos can be found in Norvos and it is said that their forges give off steam day and night, iron and other metals are struck at all hours. Weapons, jewelry and materials for trade are produced in incalculable quantities." He quickly replies.
"Perfect, find me 2 or 3 blacksmiths who are very good at forging weapons and armor. Pay them, no matter the amount. Just have them come here to forge for me. Discreetly send me the people in charge of your brothels over the next few weeks, Daario will show you where to discreetly let them in. You can go now." I finish speaking and turn to leave.
"Master-how should I address you?" He asks me hesitantly.
"Mmmm my name eh... Well you can call me...."

So, if no one has paid attention until now.... Our protagonist's name in this new world has not masi been mentioned!!!!
So here's a poll, I was thinking about mythological names and here's my list:
Achille
Ettore: a name of Greek origin meaning "to hold strong" or "to possess."
Teseo: was alegendary king of Athens, son of Etra and Aegeus.
Alexander: Means "protector of humanity" and was a common name among ancient Greek kings.
Massimo: the name of many Roman kings and emperors, perfect in its concept of "the greatest," and therefore matching a man of courage, valor, and victory.
My favorites are:
Massimo Decimo Meridio.
Alessandro Magno also known as Alexander the Great, Alexander the Conqueror or Alexander the Macedonian. The term "magno" comes from the Latin magnus "great," which translates the ancient Greek word μέγας (mégas). He is considered one of the most celebrated conquerors and strategists in history.
