Chapter 20[Volume 2]
The girl walked calmly through the mansion, the men opened the door for her after a little persuasion, she looked carefully at the contracts.
"Valyria" she whispered, looking at a leaflet.
She took it.
"Who are you?" She heard and turned to see a guard standing at the door and pulling out his sword.
' Mind control ' Arya thought, feeling her mana slowly disappear.
"Kill yourself" Arya ordered.
The guard looked at her in confusion before slitting his own throat. Arya found herself in the white room. She walked to the computer, and had reached level 17 with 3 skill points.
The girl used teleportation to reach Talisa's father.
The man jumped, still not used to magic, and the girl handed him the paper.
The man read it and a smile appeared on his face.
"Perfect," he murmured.
"What is it?" she asked.
"A contract, it states that he is the owner of Valyria and is dividing the lands among his nobles," he said.
"What right does he have?" she asked.
"None, apart from possessing dragon blood," he said.
"So?" she asked.
The man smiled.
"This is the excuse that your brother wanted, now he can declare war," he said.

Ned could clearly see the ships organizing themselves at sea.
They were a couple of miles from Pike.
"Let's finish this, Balon" he whispered.

Robb watched intently as his men prepared, the Lannister army was nearby.
"Defend yourselves" the boy whispered.
He felt himself getting exhausted just from using his magic.
The men saw the Lannisters and attacked.
Robb watched as they arrived and used shields and weapons in defense, cornering each of their enemies.
They didn't get enraged like attack magic made them.
Instead, they were cautious, attacking directly but concentrating on defending themselves.
The boy watched in wonder as the Lannisters fell one by one, unable to penetrate the wall of metal and wood the men created with their shields.
The boy arrived at the white room immediately, it seemed that the men affected by his skills gave him points, he went to the monitor.
He reached level 5 with 1 skill point.
Robb saw Jaime Lannister approached him.
"Stark, ready to die?" the man asked arrogantly.
Robb looked at him calmly.
"Not by your sword, kingslayer," he told him.
Jaime laughed.
"The children of today," he said.
"Critical hit" Robb muttered and stood on guard.
Jaime motioned for him to come closer.
Robb attacked.
Jaime evaded it and counterattacked.
Robb stopped his sword and attacked, Jaime defended himself but a brush on his shoulder threw him back.
The man rolled over on the ground to get up.
He frowned an eyebrow.
"You're stronger than you look, kid" he admitted.
Robb raised his hand and signaled for him to come.
Jaime smiled. And attacked.
Robb stopped the attack and counterattacked.
"It's a shame your old man isn't here, I'd like to finish him once and for all," said Jaime.
Jaime doubled his speed and Robb jumped back.
"A cub like you couldn't handle him," Robb said.
Jaime attacked with more persistence, Robb keeping him at bay for the moment.
"Do you think he's that strong?" Jaime asked with a smile.
Robb responded with his own and attacked.
"Your master tried too," he told him.
Jaime's smile disappeared, Robb took advantage of Jaime's distraction to kick him in the stomach.
Jaime fell to the ground, spinning around to avoid Robb's sword.
"Do you remember your master, Kingslayer? Arthur Dayne, the Sword of Dawn, or he was, until winter came for him " Robb provoked.
Jaime looked at him with contained fury. And launched into another attack.
It was much faster, more direct, and accurate.
Robb could barely hold him.
And then the Greatjon Umber appeared, stopping his attack and attacking Jaime.
Jaime responded quickly, but the great Jon Umber had an impenetrable defense with his rusty bastard sword.
Not counting that Robb's defensive ability was still active, that only caused Jaime to face an impenetrable wall of metal every time he attacked.
Jaime jumped back. He avoided a swing from Jon's bastard sword, then felt immense pain, Grey Wind had bitten his leg.
Jaime screamed and fell to the ground.
Robb took the opportunity to attack, Jaime raised his sword, but Robb's sword cut him through the wrist, his entire hand came off his body, and the man screamed.
Robb found himself back in the white room, he reached the computer.

The boy left the place.
"Stop screaming," Jon told Jaime, hitting him until he was unconscious.
"Heal him and lock him up!" Robb told him.
Great Jon Umber nodded.
The Lannisters were on the run after the fall of the Kingslayer.

Jon arrived with his army and prepared.
Men of the Golden Company were waiting for him.
"Who are you?" said the leader.
"I am the king of Valyria," he said.
The mercenaries laughed.
Jon looked at them impartially.
"To what do we owe the honor of your visit, Your Majesty?" the leader said mockingly.
Jon slapped him and he fell to the ground.
The sellswords drew their weapons and so did Jon's soldiers.
The leader of the mercenaries seemed to notice now, that there were enough men to finish them off, at least without help from within.
"The Lord of the Elephants, Marshal Jones, has declared according to this contract that he is the owner of Valyria, they have already attacked us, it is a declaration of war, mercenary... And Valyria takes revenge when it is attacked" He told him.
"War? You want war against the elephants? With so few men? " said the mercenary, standing up.
"Bring me Marshal's head, or I will raze all of Volantis... Now be a good pet and tell your master to come" said Jon.
The mercenary looked at him furiously.
"Your grave," he whispered and walked away.
"No, mercenary, yours and that of anyone who denies Valyria its vengeance" Jon finished, watching him leave.
XXXXXXXXXXXX
The streets of Volantis were engulfed in civil war, the red priests sacrificing everyone they found.
The Black Wall was under siege.
Slaves had taken the big bridge.
The leaders of the Golden Company had a lot of trouble even getting to Marshal Jones.
He told them that they must eliminate the supposed king of Valyria immediately.
He still didn't know how his contract was stolen, a couple of guards dead and his contract missing.
The worst thing was not that, but the slave rebellion.
There were five slaves for every person in Volantis.
And many mysteriously revealed themselves to their Masters.
They attacked and killed whoever got in their way.
" How did they get weapons? " Marshal thought frantically.
And worst of all, the red priests revolted.
Chaos was in every corner of Volantis.
XXXXXXXXXXXXX
Jon watched as the army came towards him and his men held them back.
"Elemental aura" Jon muttered.
His sword caught fire and he attacked his enemies without any mercy.
The golden company had placed three war elephants to guard the entrance.
But these were bombarded with arrows from his soldiers.
Jon incinerated one soldier after another.
The golden company looked intimidated at the king of Valyria.
They had twice as many men but still.
The soldiers were good, strong, and skilled.
They had great discipline and for every Valyrian dead, five men from the Golden Company fell.
The leader watched as the king approached him.
He took his sword and attacked.
Their swords crossed.
The mercenary felt himself getting hot and screamed in pain.
Jon easily decapitated him, and reached the white room, where he headed to the computer. He reached level 26 with 4 skill points.
And he left the room.
"Maybe I should scare them more," he muttered and nodded.
"Dismember" he whispered.
The boy attacked the first mercenary, he was hit in the leg, it flew off his body.
The others heard the screams and hurried away from Jon.
Jon ordered his men to finish them off.
The fleeing mercenaries tried to enter Volantis, one of the elephants fell to the archers, the other two guarded the gates. And they swept through the fleeing mercenaries, not recognizing between Jon's army and the golden company.
Jon also saw that a large part of his enemies avoided the elephants and entered the city, while the other part stayed fighting.
"For now" Jon muttered.

"Is it ready?" the woman asked.
"Yes, my lady," said a man.
"Okay, let's get started," she said.
She was a beautiful woman dressed in red, and in front of her were more than a hundred muzzled elephant soldiers, in front of them, a red priest guarding each one.
"Give me the power to destroy my enemies, o vengeful lord of light," she said.
She raised her hands, her eyes were closed.
And with a signal, the priests cut the necks of their hostages.
The woman felt ecstasy as she screamed with pleasure and a ball of black fire appeared in her hands.
"FOR REVENGE! FOR R´HLLOR!" she shouted and threw the black fireball at the black walls.
An explosion was heard and part of the wall collapsed.
"Kill them!" she said.
The priests shouted and attacked the noble quarter of Volantis.
Many soldiers came out to confront them.
It was a massacre on both sides.
XXXXXXXXXXXX
Marshal Jones walked down the street and saw a dozen dead red priests, their leader Kinvara had put up a fight, spell after spell, but she couldn't take on all the soldiers of course, even so the losses were countless on both sides.
'Can stop the army on the outskirts with so few men ' He paranoidly thought and turned to the captain of his guard.
"Can we stop the supposed king of Valyria?" he asked the captain.
"Of course, he doesn't have siege engines, the only way he has to enter is by water and every boat is destroyed before arriving," said the mercenary.
Marshal nodded.
He looked at the corpse of the priestess Kinvara.
"Idiot" he muttered.
[T/N: eh, she had no use last time anyway.]

Arya watched everything unfold, the port belonged to them, well, to the mercenaries that Jon hired.
The lord of the tigers was dead.
The elephants ransacked his mansion, causing the few remaining tigers to rise in force and the sellswords Jon hired to scatter in chaos across Volantis.
The hotel, the merchant's house, was sacked, the nobles fled to ancient Volantis. But several fell to the mercenaries and slaves, and their relatives blamed the lord of the elephants, who lost more and more support.
The temple of light was finished and its followers almost annihilated.
The few that remained died destroying the black wall for them, giving them direct access to the lord of the elephants and ancient Volantis.
And finally, the long bridge was taken by the freed slaves under the orders of the Maegyr.
Jon distracted the Golden Company with his army.
"The only thing left to do is… finish off the elephants" She murmured.
The plan was started weeks ago, but seeing it unfold so perfectly, Arya took great pleasure in seeing everything come together as planned.

Aegon watched the wall explode from his house.
"It's all over," he said.
Jon Connington nodded.
"What shall we do now? Even if we pretend and declare ourselves as simple citizens, the golden company will be destroyed" he said.
"Too bad, but there are other ways" the old man informed.
"Oh, we can tell the truth," Rhaenys said upon arriving.
"The truth? Are we going to tell the Starks that we are the grandchildren of the man who burned their grandfather alive?" he asked.
"If that could work, hey since they were Starks, remember the mad king, if he burned his grandfather alive and put his uncle in a suicide trap, he's our grandfather, do we ally?" said sarcastically the prince of the seven kingdoms.
Rhaenys tapped her shoulder and Ashara came up behind the princess.
"We can't decide yet what to do, we'll wait for the outcome," she said.
Jon Connington nodded.

Sansa was panting heavily, completely exhausted, as she healed every citizen she came across.
"Thank you, my lady" whispered one.
Sansa smiled exhaustedly at him.
The man knelt before her.
"When this is over, please make me your apprentice, my lady," he told her.
" Apprentice? " She asked confused.
"I want to heal like you, I will do whatever it takes," he said.
Sansa found herself in the white room.
The girl looked curiously at the monitor.
{Congratulations on getting your first servant, you are rewarded with a skill point.}
