Free City of TyroshPOV of Domeric Bolton

  "You're right. She is half mad." Domeriented as he watched the 8-foot-tall woman snarling at him from inside her prison cell as she tried to bite through the steel bar.

  It had e to him as a huge surprise when she had initially been able to bend the steel bars out of shape and he had to quickly stun the woman so that she wouldn't escape her cell.

  Theransfigured the bars back to their inal shape and cast the Unbreakable charm on it.

  Now she was no longer able to bend the bars with her pure strength. But that didn't stop her fr.

  "Aye. You sure you still want it?" Muron asked "Because I'm sure that we'll be able to sell it to the other Svers at a very hefty sum."

  "She's a ‘her’. Not an ‘it’. And yes, I'm very good at mind arts and will be able to heal her with enough time." He said as he then turo the cell where Varko was quietly sitting in his new bed and staring at him.

  "You promised to serve me for one year in exge for freeing you from the fire." He said.

  "I did. But I didn't know that you were a Megae." The man said with a snarl. Clearly, he had some prejudice against mages and wizards from this world. And if what he had heard about these Megae and Warlocks was correct then he didn't bme the man.

  "So, you pn on breaking reement?" he asked and Varko stared back at him for a long time before he shook his head.

  "No. A deal is a deal. I'll serve you for a year."

  "Then use your blood and thumb to sign this tract." He said and gave a piece of paper to the man who scruti for a moment with a frown.

  "I 't read. What does it say?" he asked.

  "It says that you'll serve me faithfully for a year. And if you betray me during that time then you'll forfeit your life and the magi the tract will kill you."

  The man looked a bit discerted for a time before he finally let out a sigh i and bit his thumb before using the blood and thumb to sign it.

  "Good. Now I just o repeat this process a few dozen times more." He said with sarcasm as he looked at the other cells which were filled with Gdiators from the Svers pit.

  None of them were as good as Varko or Raksa the Giantess but they were still far better than any average knight in the Westeros. And once he arms them with magically charmed ons and armor. They'll be a force to be reed with. But first, he must win their loyalty which would mean spending a good amount of time among these people.

  Oh well, he was sure that he'd be able to find some time for them. And he had to heal Raksa's mind sooner or ter so why not do it now?

  Free City of Lys

  POV of Domeric Bolton

  It took them another moon's worth of time to reach Lys. Then two more weeks to find the best pleasure sves that were also smart enough to gather information for him.

  During their time here, he also bought any sve who was literate. Because sooner or ter, he'd open a School for his troops and the smallfolk. So, he wanted as many teachers in his hands as possible.

  Not to mention that as his nds advanced, he'd need more educated people who would be able to follow his orders written on parts.

  Aside from that, Aunt Barbrey called him with the mirror and told him that Lord Stark had permitted him to go on an expedition North of the wall. Now he only o get the permission of the Lord ander of the Night's Watch, and he kly how to do it. So, it shouldn't be a problem.

  As for the Gdiator Sves that he rescued from the Sver Pits in Tyrosh. They have all sighe tracts with their blood and won't be able to betray him without losing their lives.

  The stant use of pulsion charm has also made them more amiable to his suggestions as well as more loyal to him. He was certain that by the time he reached bae, all these men and women would bee loyal to him and wouldn't try to leave even when he gave them their freedom.

  There was also the headache that he was suffering because of Raksa. After reading her mind, he quickly uood why she had gone half mad.

  The reason for that was that she was sold to a house of freaks at a very young age by her parents because of her being far taller than any girl had the right to be.

  Then before she was even 10 years old, she was captured by svers and raped repeatedly by them before being sold to pleasure houses that catered to the needs of men with 'different' tastes.

  But once she grew up and people found out about her immerength, she was once again sold as a Gdiator to the Fighting Pits.

  The truth was that Raksa was only 22 years old at the moment.

  That someone so young to suffer so many cruelties in her life saddened him to no end.

  He'd already erased a good portion of her memories which led to deep trauma in her mind.

  The unintended side effect was that Raksa's mind had once again turned into that of an 8-year-old child’s mind.

  Imagihat. An 8-foot-tall women with the mind of an 8-year-old girl.

  Thankfully, she had spent 7 whole years fighting is, so she was able tain back her fighter's instincts after a bit of sparring with Varko. The only man on the ship who was able to provide her with a challenge.

  At least she was not half mad anymore.

  Now he just had to teach her not to hug him fiercely or one day she might break all the bones in his body.
