  Pessoa Thrid POV

  Westeros, 295 AC.

  ---------------------------------------

  The days went by while Oldtown had a on routine day. Fisherme out to sea from the port, seeking t back many fish to sell and sustain their families. The port was filled with ships ing from Lannisport, Starfall, and other pces in Dorne, even merts from the Vale and Essos filled the docks, seeking to sell their goods and buy items to resell in their nds.

  Everything seemed normal, but one versation was quite debatable among the sailors and people in bars and on the docks.

  "Have you heard about the rumors?" Someone asked in a nook in a tavern in front of the fishermen's port. The pce reeked of fish, but these people were already used to it. This person had just spoken to a man in front of him, who had returned from his days at sea while fishing and had brought a good quantity. He ended up meeting an acquaintance, and they went to this pce to drink.

  "What... are you going to talk about the norther passing through these waters weeks ago? I heard they are in Highgarden, and the nobility treated them very well," the fisherman said.

  "It's not just that..." The opposite man leaned closer to his panion. He looked at his cup before tinuing. "Waitress, bring me another cup of alcohol!" He requested as a young woman nodded from the ter, going to the barman to get more drinks.

  "For me too!" The sean said, drinking the rest of his cup to have it refilled as well. "tinue," he urged.

  "So... some merts arrived..." He began to speak while the young proached to refill their cups. The man waited until she withdrew, but not before spping her ot.

  The young woman looked at him surprised and gave a small smile. "Later," the man said, as this woman was the local prostitute.

  "You're worthless if your wife catches you doing that again..." the first man remarked.

  "Fuck it, just tihe sean insisted.

  "So, some merts were talking that they found them oher end of the ti... and saw the ships passing by like a horse passes a mule... they say their ships are so fast and powerful. Moreover, there are rumors that no pirate survived ohey decided to attack them... They say they eliminate anything on the sea. Stepstone is on its ko this fleet; several coastal cities and even cities dominated by pirate groups have ordered no oo attack them uhey want to be among those who disappeared..." he expined.

  His friend looked at him for a moment, then took a sip and respoo what he heard. "I didn't see the fleet... but boats that got close... saw and described them as you heard too... but it's kind of exaggerated this story that they eliminate everyone on the sea... One of the maesters approached and talked to the Artis, but they refused to ehe city ao Highgarden," the man said.

  "Tsk. I heard the septons saying they are savages who o be purified... Do you believe the stories about giants on their ships?" the man asked.

  "They are northern savages... of course, they don't follow the Seven, they are heretics... and about the giants... I'll only believe it when I see it... it's too much to believe in such things," he mocked.

  This kind of discussion became the talk at Oldtown port, with some g they saw the fleet and actually saw giants, while others mocked, not believing mu what they heard.

  Some septons were preag at the port, saying things about the fleet, with most people being scared and believing they were dealing with cruel savages aics.

  However, people could draw their own clusions because some ships leaving Oldtown entered a huge fleet stopped in the middle of the sea at that moment, after some leaving Oak Garden.

  Jon watched the ships fleeing in the distand gave a small smile. He turned back to his men who were looking at him at that moment. "Let's prepare the ships. I want 500 men ready to enter Oldtow's talk first; after all, I don't want to be accused of starting the aggression. Ohey give us enough reason, we will act. The city has been without unication i days..." Jon said, feeling his birds flying over the ey, hunting ravens throughout the region, whether they were arriving or leaving, without aig, while keeping the letters in a safe pce.

  "Jon..." Seryna approached with the eyes of a woman worried about her husband.

  "It will be alright..." Jon said, soling her, and decided to first visit his prisoner, as he hadn't spoken to him since capturing him.

  He walked through the corridors below the ship and followed the path until he found a man in a cell. Jaime Lannister was not in his best dition as he looked at the person approag, being the only one who hadn't brought food here.

  "So, Lannister... I hope you had a good stay these past few days..." Jon began while the ma him with some frustration.

  "I 't pin about the food..." he murmured, after all, he was receiving excellent food, being Arti.

  "Well, I have no iion of letting my prisoner die... after all, you are worth a lot." Jon said, maintaining a smile.

  The man looked at him with an eveer gleam of frustration. "What did you do with the horses... are you really a wizard or something..." he murmured.

  "Thank you for the pliment, but ly, although I create a bit of magic..." Jon said while a fme was created in his hand, much more powerful than what he used to make to light campfires when he was 8 or 9 namedays old. Although this was totally useless to him, and he no longer used any of it.

  "..." Jaime looked at the fme in his hand, illuminating the cell with wide eyes, but remained silent until he started to ugh.

  "Hahahahaha. And what do you pn to do with me...?" He seemed to be a man scious of things he didn't uand and found his situation funny in the end.

  Joinguished the fmes. "You know, Ser Jaime Lannister... I came to Westeros intending to iate with you, open businesses, and make both kingdoms prosper..." he began. "But it seems I noticed how rotten you are since leaving Artica. Maybe I thought you would be like the North... But I should have known you would be different given your history... and even though I had already known King's Landing before... I have never seen a cil as rotten as the ohere." Jon said.

  Jaime looked at Jon with fusion, first because he said he had been there before, and sed for g he knew, but the tter seemed quite uandable after seeing what he did with the horses. "So the wizard spies on us." He mocked.

  "Oh yes, I saw some rather eye-catg things, like your children passing for royal children..." Jon mocked.

  "..." Jaime seemed speechless at this; what could he do, lie?

  "I know they are yours; you are not the only one who sleeps with the queen." Jon mocked.

  "Lies!!" Jaime immediately excimed, believing it was just to provoke him, so he did not believe those words, his sister would never sleep with another man.

  "Anyway... let's get down to business. Westeros has bee unviable fotiation, and even if I lose my deals, I did my part and already got the horses I was looking for, as I didn't even believe I could get a better quality of mount in Essos and now I produce them easily in Artica. As for the sand, I egotiate in Essos." Jon said and tinued. "Now I need metal, and your father will pay for your ransom." Jon said.

  "That is no problem for him..." Jaime said, staring at Jon's strange eyes. "Did you sell me for being a mage or for skills?" he couldn't help but ask in the end.

  "I don't o trol animals to win a sword fight; you ask that to your colleague in the white cloak, after all, I left him in a very critical state. I doubt he will be the same as before..." Jon said.

  "Ser Boros Blount...? well, I didn't see him with Renly, and I didn't have time to ask..." Jaime murmured.

  "I will leave that for you to talk with him, I want you to write a letter to your father, and for now." Jon said, taking him out of his cell. "You will be transferred to another ship, I might eve you loose, until delivering you to Lannisport..." Jon said while Jaime was surprised with Jon releasing his s.

  "Do you have fidehat I won't stab you in the back?" Jaime asked, and Jon mocked.

  "You are in an advantageous position, Ser Jaime, I don't think you will mess it up..." Jon began. "And I doubt you do much against the Artis; they might prove you are not as skilled as you suggest. So feel free to challehem on the ship you will stay on, however." Jaime finally got out of his s and stood up, but he couldn't react when Jon grabbed him by the ned lifted him like a rag doll easily.

  "If by any small ce... even a very, very small ce, you step out of line..." Jon's voice was no longer calm, and Jaime looked at him with wide eyes while struggling to breathe, trying to free Jon's hand from his neck. "I don't care if you are a Lannister or who your father is... I will kill you and still io burn Lannisport. Enough of ag like a mert in this kingdom. You on the royal cil have given me good reasons to start being enemies, and believe me, this is a fight you will not win." Jon said before dropping Ser Jaime Lano the floor, leaving him gasping for air.

  His gaze returned upward where Jon was now waiting with a diplomatic smile, and Jaime couldn't help but tremble in his heart at that. Perhaps he was dealing with a monster, and they had given him a good reason to start showing his fangs.

  A moment ter, Jon walked onto the ship's deck with Jaime following, "Follow me, Ser Jaime. You will stay on the ship with many dwarves, so I hope you don't mind them singing and drinking a lot." Jon said as a dwarf looked at Ser Jaime, scrutinizing him.

  "Very skinny... maybe we fix that, you might even bee a strong man." The dwarf mocked Jaime, who raised an eyebrow, uo help but remember his brother Tyrion, though this dwarf was much bolder.

  Jaime said nothing but turo Jon. "Where are we...?" Jaime looked at the movement of the ships; some seemed to be leaving, but Jaime still couldn't see the return to Oldtown, so it was uandable.

  "You doly o know... so just enjoy your journey and don't fet the letter, a man will ask for it to put it on a raven prepared to find your father." Jon said, and the royal guard of Westeros could do nothing but begin to follow the dwarf to the other ship across a pnk, looking around with curiosity and a more cautious look at the giants he passed while they stared back at him.

  Jouro his , where he began to prepare, donning his armor to get ready to go to the city, a out to bid farewell to his sister and wife.

  "Let's go." Jon said, leaving the official ship and heading to one of the ten that would depart. There were 500 Artis there, including 12 giants and 100 dwarves, with the rest being soldiers, ready to faything in that city.

  The ships then approached the coast as the city began to appear on the horizon, with its lighthouse illuminating slightly due to it being midday, while their ships annouheir preseo the rest of the sea. The ships that had already seen the fleet before should have heard about their presen the high seas, and seeing some of them ing to the city made the port even mitated.

  "Look!!" Someone pointed from the port.

  "It's them!! They really came to the city!!" Another fisherman said.

  "I'm not staying here!" A mert immediately gave the order, fearing that group after all the rumors, while his ship's sailors began to prepare the ship.

  "Will we see giants?!" Other people seemed quite excited about it.

  "Yes, now we see if they are really real!!" Another said.

  "The heretics are ing!!! We must purify them!!" A septon at the port began to shout while some Faith militants nodded.

  The city was not left behind, as people screamed, running through the streets. "The Artis are ing! The Artis are ing!!" People excimed as the city seemed to go o, closing their shops and barrig their houses, as if something big was about to happen in this city. After all, they khat most there would be hostile to them.

  Meanwhile, in the castle ected to the great lighthouse, Lord Hightower's brother looked surprised when his soldiers annouhe sighting of Arti ships at sea. He could already hear the agitated city as he walked to the window and saw the ten ships approag the port.

  "So my brother mao vihem to e here as he reported... but why didn't he send any ravens or respond to my messages asking for advice? After all, I am taking care of his city while he is having fun at the Tyrells' tour..." The man was a bit fused, but he looked at his men.

  "Let's send a messeo receive them and prepare to close the city." He spoke immediately, as his objective was to take Jon Artica hostage. Even without knowing what had happened in the Vale, they already had their own pn, while Jon could hear everything with a bird hiddehe window.

  Elsewhere, the same agitation was happening iadel. "Finally!! They are here... we must bring him here immediately so he 't call for help," the grand maesters ented.

  Meanwhile, one grand maester among them frowned, not liking any of this. 'I must help him somehow!' the maester thought internally. He seemed to be someone who did not see Jon and Artica with the same eyes as his colleagues.

  "Call the High Septon as well, let's put pressure on them as lords who trol this entire realm!" a grand maester said, and the others nodded, as they began to prepare to ambush the Arti king, believing they had total power over them.

  "But this is strange... we haven't seen any ravens in the past few days... and we haven't received any ravens from Highgarden i week," one of the men said.

  "That doesn't matter now, we have our ce to act here." He spoke while everyone prepared.

  Jon looked at the city approag closer... "Well, they surely must be expeg us... so let's level the pying field..." Jon said, raising his hand towards the forest aing his power flow like never before.

  Iy, as everything seemed agitated, dogs, cats, snakes, and all kinds of animals seemed to lift their eyes at that moment. As if they were being called for something, but they did not move, they just seemed to nod to a force trolling them at that moment, while Jon's birds tinued cirg the city without arousing suspi of anything very strange happening there.

  The ships finally arrived at the port, and many merts began to leave it at the same time, fearing the Arti ships. The Artis started taking over the docks, with a rge crowd of curious onlookers, something on iies where Jon passed since leaving Artica. Everyone saw only ten ships finally preparing with the terrifying sight of giants in closed armor, with men and dwarves equally armed, disembarking from the ships and preparing for their stay iy.

  "Arti King!" Jon disembarked from his ship under everyone's gaze as a man in armor with the Hightower symbol approached with respect, despite the disdain in his eyes. "My lord, brother of the head of House Hightower, invites you to his home," the man said, but before anyone could respond, a nepeared.

  "Sorry, but Lord Hightower will have to wait, as the Citadel is aware of your i in buying books from the library, and our cil is avaible to iate at this moment." A maester approached and interrupted.

  "But Lord..." The man still tried to obey his lord.

  Jon saw how they had not pnned anything together and ughed internally before speaking. "Sorry, but I believe that iating with the Citadel is more important..." Jon said while the maester smiled at this, and the man looked a bit upset but nodded.

  "e, Arti King, I am sure you will be very satisfied with otiations," the man said while Jon smiled at him.

  "I am sure of it..." Jon said, smiling and looking at the man who had great malice against him, but they would see who would ugh in the end.

  The group began to move, with most of the soldiers following Jon alongside the giants, intimidating the entire crowd. Some stayed at the port to guard the ships, including giants, all prepared for the flict that could arise there. Everyone wore false smiles, whether it was Jon or the maesters; each lotting against the other.

  The walk to the Citadel portunity for Jon to see how this city stood pared to what he had witnessed in his green visioe little ge, some even tried to curse him, calling him a heretic, but as soon as the first one shouted, the giant grabbed him, sg everyone.

  "What is this?" The maester was a bit frightened, seeing the man being lifted by the giant's hands and suspended in the air.

  "Do you want to iate? If that's the case, I'm leaving," Jon said to see what the maester would do.

  "I apologize for this, Arti King..." He said in an apologetie and looked at the man. "Soldiers, take this man and flog him with 50 shes!" The maester ordered as the man was taken away, screaming after being dropped by one of the giants.

  "We are almost there!" The maester said after a while, walking further through the city, with a cautious look at the giant after what he had seen. Jon looked at the Citadel ahead with satisfa, as his pn was to pluhis pd start building the rgest library in the world in Artica.

  Meanwhile, Arti ships had already disembarked on the northern coast while no oiced, as they had done so the previous night, taking advantage of the darkness. After all, Jon would not miss having his ow of surprise ohe chaos began.
