There were moments when I was glad to have Daemon in my head, this was one of them. This revelation did wonders for my calm, and I would probably shit myself if it weren't for him. Dude was my metaphysical rock.
"Be calm! Don't show weakness, stand straight." The Blackfyre asked with apprehension.
I took a deep breath and straightened myself.
"What do you mean?" I asked, voice quivering slightly.
"The Lord has shown me all!" The senile bald priest said cheerfully.
*Gulp*. It was nice knowing you Daemon buddy 'ol pal.
"Stop being so godsdamned dramatic! Stay calm!"
They're gonna burn us!
The bald priest continued on, "Yes! You're the Lord's Chosen!"
Oh no we're the chosen! They'r-
Wait What?!
"Yes! Yes! The flames have shown me! The Lord has given you fire made flesh, he has given you dragon steel! You are
Azor Ahai! The Warrior of Light!
The Son of Fire!"
What the fuck?! What kind of acid is this guy on?!
"Makes sense."
"W-what d-do you m-mean?" I stuttered out for both of them.
"The Lord of the Light has sent you to us! Se āeksio ēza jehittan īlva lēda zȳhon ōños( The Lord has blessed us with his light)!"
"You do know that these people have a horrible track record of declaring everyone as Azor Ahai."
Shit! Isn't that Jon Snow or Daenerys' job? Hell maybe even Arya?
"We were literally a godsend. It was bound to happen."
Son of a bitch.
"
Language!"
You're one to talk!
Our inner conflict was cut short by Benerro kneeling down before us.
"What're you doing?"
He looked up with a shit eating grin and threw something in my face.
My eyes started to grow heavy. Sleepy. My movements were getting slugged. Before I knew it, I fell asleep.
---
I felt cold. It was freezing.
The warmth of the Temple was nowhere. I slowly got up, and looked around.
It looked like a forest in Minnesota. There were trees all around me.
Follow.
A soft whisper. Something told me to follow it, and followed I did.
After a few minutes of walking, I came face to face with a large misshapen weirwood tree.
It was enormous, with branches twisting and turning in a grotesque fashion, forming a type of cave big enough to fit 10 airbuses.
There was an unearthly blue glow around it, casting an eerie blue light all around.
A loud screech. A roar, came from within.
Two huge glowing blue eyes appeared in the mouth of the cave.
It was looking at me, I don't know how, but I knew it was.
In the forest hidden within a forest, does the great beast lie, the voice whispered.
I slowly backed away, careful to not trip.
"FoKrahDiin!" A voice shouted
On cue, the creature roared. The blue glow became darker and more intense. The air particles became colder, the temperature dropped sharply.
Panicking I turned and ran, but it was too late.
I was engulfed in a sharp blue glow, my skin began to freeze, my breath turned to frost, my mind and body went numb as the darkness engulfed me.
---
I woke up with a scream.
Breathing heavily I looked around.
I seemed to be in a bed, in an orange room. I turned. Blackfyre, my armor and the egg were neatly arranged.
I got up from the bed and looked down to find myself without any sort of covering.
Shit. Did I get roofied? Daemon you there?
"Ye-*Yawn*-ss-"He replied sleepily.
You were sleeping?
He hummed in affirmation.
I just got frozen by a blue eyed monster and you were sleeping?!
---
Suffice to say, after telling him what I saw; Daemon wasn't going to be sleeping anytime soon.
After getting my gear and bag on, I opened the door to see Kinvara standing outside.
After bowing her head, she led me to another room, this time she entered with me.
The room was a nauseating shade of orange.
The son of a bitch Benerro was standing inside smiling.
"You drugged me!" I managed to growl, anger boiling.
"I did."
He wasn't even gonna deny it!
I reached for the sword, but he held a hand up.
"Forgive me, I had to do what I had to."
"That doesn't mean shit! What did I see?"
"The Greatest Threat to Humanity. Now you must be off!"
What?!
"Kinvara will accompany you to the gilded skull. She will help you on your path."
No! I was gonna kill him!
"As will they-"
He gestured to some fifty orange squad, surrounding him.
"-they are the best of the Fiery Hand and will serve the Lord's Chosen well."
On cue, they kneeled with a cry of, "
Azor Ahai!"
It was getting too much to process.
"Hold it!"
Benerro smiled wider at that.
"Why should I take them? I don't know shit about where I am going!"
"Volon Therys. There you will find the Golden Company."
"I-wha-how'd you know?!"
"The flames." He answered
Of course, the magic fucking fire.
I began to walk out, with Kinvara and the Orange Boys following me.
"Before you go, remember!"
I turned
"Loyalty goes both ways. It must be given to be earned."
Of course.
I pretty much ran out of there like it was a building on fire. Through the red corridors and buildings.
I hate red.
