[A Week Later]
"My Lord." Olyver said, "The Knights of The Vale have made their move. They have begun marching towards us."
I shrugged, "Meet them in battle. Have Jon lead a sizeable force and eradicate them." I said as I leaned back, "The Cannibal will return shortly, A little scare won't hurt."
He nodded, "Very well." He said, "I will get on that."
"Wait, Olyver." I said
He was about to walk away when he looked back at me, "Yes?"
"I have a question." I said as I pointed at the empty chair next to me, "Sit."
He nodded and walked over to the chair, sitting down, "Please, ask me anything." He said, "I will see if I can answer."
"Back in Oldstones." I said as I looked up at the ceiling, "I was approached by a Greenseer that used a raven to spy on me."
"I see...." He said, "It was not one of ours, I know that.....most of us use other birds such as falcons or hawks....not Ravens....such a strange choice. The Lady Mya prefers serpents and wolves..."
I nodded, "Yes." I said, "I grasped the Raven and was sucked into the Greenseer's psyche....a plane in his mind, I assume."
He widened his eyes, "Y-You did?"
I nodded, "I've done crazier stuff.." I said, "But I don't recognize the man that I saw. He was a shriveled-up old man with white hair and a single red eye. Ring any bells?"
He shook his head, "No."
"Hm..." I said, "Oh wait, he was fused to a Weirwood Tree...does that ring any bells?"
He blinked, "I am sorry, My Lord, It does not." He said, "I do not know of any Greenseer who is fused to a Tree."
"He seemed rather shocked that I was able to invade his plane." I said as I frowned, "I wonder what was up with that. Oh, he was Targaryen by the way."
"Then, that makes it less likely for me to know. I am aware of most Greenseers that are in the Realm." Olyver said, "But most of them are bastards that were fathered by River Lords."
"Well, ain't that peculiar...." I said, "I wonder if I'll ever see him again. Maybe he'll poke around with his stupid three-eyed raven...."
"Three-eyed Raven? Now, that is peculiar....." He said, "Hm...now that I think about it....I do remember Ana mentioning a Raven back in The Neck.....she was drunk and must have imagined the third eye. It is not something that was worth mentioning until now...."
"Ah, I'll ask her about it later." I said, "How goes the Tower?"
"Lady Mya has reinforced the defenses ever since fending off the two dragons." He said, "With the Guardian returning to slumber, everything seems quiet. You were right, they did try to distract you with the girl. Attacking the Tower is quite foolish, however."
"Well, I hope they learn." I said with a chuckle, "Send a message to Mya. I'll return to the Tower soon. She will be rather pleased to hear that."
"As you wish." He said
"Oh...and the Knights of The Vale...." I said with a smirk,
"I want it to be bloody...."
***********
"P-Please...." Maegelle said as she stood in front of me a few feet, "Please cease this....I beg of you..."
She had a frown on her face, and a bit of tears were forming in her eyes. After the entire day of being ignored, I finally decided to check on her and found her kneeling down and praying next to the bed in her room. Even now, she prayed to her gods.
No matter how quiet it was here in Harrenhal, Maegelle was well aware of what happened outside. There was nothing but bloodshed and destruction; those who tried to rise up against my forces were brutally beaten down. I am sure that some of them were volunteers who marched from the Reach, The Stormlands, and The Westerlands.
None of that mattered to me, no matter how many men they sent, they were going to get obliterated and added to my army.
Maegelle, despite not seeing or hearing the battles, knew that many lost their lives in the war that was started because of her actions. It seems that despite that, she still has not denounced her Faith. It didn't matter to me, the harder the challenge, the better the satisfaction of breaking said Faith.
I smirked, "No."
She clenched her fists, "I do not understand..." She said, "I am here, my Father gave me to you. Why can't you end this violence already?"
"Aren't you a naive girl....." I said, "I thought you were smarter than this...your guilt and sorrow are clouding that bright mind of yours. You were already mine, he was simply returning what belonged to me."
"I am not some propert-" She started
"You are mine!" I said with a scowl, "The faster you accept that, the better it will be for you. But I already told you that I will not harm you. I will not lay my hands on you. You belong to me, that is all. Nobody, not even your gods, is allowed to have you now. So the fact that you still pray to them is adding more fuel to the fire that you started!"
She looked down, "I...." She said, "I cannot stand this....to know that people are dying because of what I told you..."
"What will you do about it?" I asked while tilting my head, "I am curious to know."
"I...." She started, "I will do anything......."
"Anything?" I asked with a slight smirk
"A-Anything....." She said as she looked at me, "P-Please...."
"Strip." I told her simply
She looked at me and covered her chest with her arms, "W-What?"
I raised an eyebrow but did not say anything. In the few moments that followed, there was a bit of doubt in her eyes but despite this, she closed them and let out a sigh.
She then slowly began to strip her clothes, her hands slightly trembling out of fear and nervousness. As she exposed herself to me, she bit her lip, trying to hold back tears as she looked down.
She had completely stripped down, leaving her clothes, those of a Septa's on the floor below her.
"Hm." I simply said
"I...." She said as she covered her chest with one hand and her crotch with the other, "W-What now?"
"Turn around." I told her
She nodded and did as I told her, showing me her back. Her skin was fair and quite pretty, something I would say.
I walked over to her and extended my hand outwards, using my telekinesis to pull a blanket towards me. As I caught it, I quickly covered her with it, something that took her off-guard.
"What?" She said as she looked back at me
I grabbed her gently by the shoulders as she was covered by the blanket and leaned in, "I commend you, Maegelle, willing to stoop yourself to that low...." I said, "But so long as you're mine, offering your body to any man will not be something that should come to mind...."
I gently ran my finger through her hair, a pretty white now that I look at it closer.
"I....." She said softly
"You are beautiful." I said as I gave her a smile, "This is the first step, Maegelle....I sensed it......you were more than willing to do anything to end this....so let us make a deal...."
"A Deal?" She asked
"I end this war..." I said as I leaned closer to her, "And you give me a chance...."
"A chance...." She said softly
"A chance to prove myself to you." I said, "I will convince you. That I am the one true god that you need."
"Is that fair?"
