Chapter 6: Chapter 6
Weeks had passed since Aslan's departure and news spread throughout all the seven kingdoms that the king had sent his first born son out of Kingslanding with nothing but a ship and a few coins to his name.
Aslan sailing for the Free City of Braavos took a month as the winds were not kind to him and his crew as their ship was battered by storms for half their journey. The only bright side being that once they overcame the hurdle of the storms the men grew closer together and with slight compulsion here and there as well as helping where he could Aslan secured the loyalty of the men he had with him. After talking with the men separately he found the agents that would spy and report his every action back to the capital. He knew the game was already afoot and it seemed he was behind, so with this in mind he compelled the agents to report to him when they received orders or had to send reports back to Westeros that way he could feed everyone false reports and keep his activities secret.
He and the crew knew they had reached Braavos when they saw the 400-foot Titan that served as the entrance of the lagoon. As they sailed between its legs, standing on two separate islands each foot atop a mountain. The legs made of black granite that formed the mountain top that it stood atop. One hand rested atop of a ridge, its bronze fingers wrapped around the stone holding it firm, the other hand was thrust into the air holding the hilt of a broken sword twice the size of the ship Aslan was aboard. As they sailed under the Titan soldier, he and the crew couldn't help but stare in absolute amazement at the magnificent structure.
Aslan himself could feel something radiating off of the structure and realised that it was different from the feeling he got when he walked in the gardens back at the keep so he knew it wasn't his nature affinity connecting with the statue. It felt warm and comforting but it was a new feeling, one he had never felt till today. He couldn't only think it was the magic affinity he had asked for finally having a reaction. When he closed his eyes and tried feeling for a connection, he felt himself looking through the eyes of the Titan as information flooded his system and he drew back his senses before he unwittingly activated it.
After he came back to his senses he knew that if he wanted he could activate the Titan and it would follow his commands as long as he could supply it with enough energy. His mind ran from him as he thought of the sight it would make for the titan to suddenly come to life and crush all that stood before it, he thought of all he could accomplish with the weapon but crushed his own fantasies as he knew that he wouldn't be able to sustain it.
Once he and the crew had gathered themselves from the shock of the structure that towered overhead, he directed them to make for the merchant docks were they could keep the ship. Once all the official paper work was handled for the ship to stay at the docks he ordered the men to find their lodging and that he would find them soon enough.
He took two guards with him that he had long since made loyal to him and him alone as he made his way around the city and explored what it had to offer. He came to a stop after a long while standing inform of a giant building that he could only assume was the famous bank as he saw two golden triangles crossed in the manner of an hourglass, with two hands extending from left and right of the point where the triangles meet, their palms held upwards. This is what he saw when he looked at the giant beast that was the Iron Bank.
As he stood there in front of the building that represent the wealthiest and most feared institution in the world he knew there was only one thing he could do when faced with such an organisation like the Iron Bank. If they held the most gold in the world and he needed gold to accomplish his goals then he would just have to rob them.
After looking around the city he and his men went to an estate owned by a wealthy merchant who had multiple ones throughout the city, after he found out who was at his gate he welcomed the group of Westerosi in and was cordial enough to entertain them and pry on what it was that the First Prince of Westeros wanted from him. Aslan was more than happy to demand an estate and a monthly contribution of a few thousand gold. After some compulsion and a few more visits to rich merchants that were nice enough to add to the contribution the prince and his men made themselves at home in their new estate as he bought servants and additional guards with his new found wealth.
After he had settled himself in, Aslan summoned those that were sent to spy on him and the new servants and guards he bought to serve in the estate. After a long and in-depth compulsion session with them where he covered all his basis and made sure that to whoever they reported to they made it seem as though he was now in a working relationship with the merchants he had visited and he placed in their psyche a deep adoration that would strengthen and grow as each day passed. He made it so that the longer they were in his employ the deeper their respect and loyalty for him would grow. He ensured it so that
Once everything at the estate was finished and secured, he summoned his two loyal guards and sat with them in the study. Once they were seated opposite him he started explaining what he needed from them.
"I need you two to ride for Meereen and Slavers Bay, once you're there you are to buy an estate and start procuring as many literate and sex slaves as you can. I'll be send a thousand gold a month for you to use but for now take three thousand to get started." He pulled out a chest full of gold from his inventory and sent them on their way.
The next day he procured himself a boat and he made his way to the one place he feared most in this new world. The House of Black and White.
