Chapter 12 - first

Arthur was lying there on the floor thinking of how he was gonna kill them. For a few minutes, he thought of a plan.

Arthur headed home his mother was horrified, She feared arthur but still loved him, When she was bathing him she said "Arthur who did this to you" Arthur looked up at his mother and said "Don't worry rorin took care of it"

"I'll have to thank rorin then," his mother said.

After that arthur ate and went to bed. He broke his fast with maester Harwin who was helping him study, now it was an afternoon and arthur grabbed his dagger which was hidden inside his feather bed and headed out of the brothel and to the drowned town.

When he got there he saw the boys drying themselves and laughing, After a few minutes they separated and headed home, Arthur followed the youngest one, a boy of eight, Arthur was taller than him and faster '𝑻𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒔𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅 𝒃𝒆 𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒚; Arthur was following until he realized where he was heading, Arthur ran to the place where he would soon ambush the boy, An alleyway.

Arthur wanted to hide right behind the edge of the alley and place his pouch right near his foot. He planned to have the boy bend down grabbing the pouch he thought was filled with coins. Arthur would then stab him with the dagger right through his eye.

So he placed the trap, putting the pouch right by his foot, and hid behind the wall waiting for his prey.

Arthur waited for some time and then in the corner of his eye he saw the boy's hand reaching out for the pouch, this was his chance. He didn't know where his head was but he had to kill him now.

Arthur leaned out pushing the dagger up as hard as he could. . . He felt it go right through under his chin, Arthur looked the boy right in his eyes

his eyes darkened and life faded from his eyes

Arthur thought it would be easy but. . . before the boy could drop dead arthur was gone, leaving his dagger behind.

Arthur took off his shirt that had blood on it and threw it in one of the nearby rivers, He also washed his hands and was heading home until he heard a scream "he's dead he's dead!!". . .

Arthur went inside the brothel and to his chamber.

Arthur sat down and thought about the boy.

His eyes were devoid of life. This was different than killing rats and cats. he killed a human being, He was thinking when nymera entered the room nymera. . . He had no love for anyone after the incident with the priest but his last shred of love went to nymera " Is there something wrong arthur?" she said softly Arthur didn't know what to say,

nymera sat beside him and placed her hand on his shoulder "Do you want to talk about anything?" Arthur was silent for a moment "I-i saw..." Nymera hugged him "it's ok arthur it's ok." She put him to bed and sang him, Jenny of oldstone, Something about that song comforted him.

Soon after Arthur went to sleep.

In the morning he thought about the boy's eyes arthur felt no remorse. but his hate was there, he was still on a mission he wanted all of them dead for what they did.

He broke his fast and headed out to the drowned town, to his surprise the two boys were here arthur thought after yesterday they would know better but how could he blame them? They were just kids after all.

He waited and waited until the younger of the two got out of the water and said "I'm going, If I'm late my mother would kill me" the other boy smirked and threw water at him. '𝑰 𝒔𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅 𝒌𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒐𝒍𝒅𝒆𝒓 𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒃𝒖𝒕 𝒊 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝒔𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒉𝒊𝒎 𝒖𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒍 𝒎𝒚 𝒏𝒂𝒎𝒆 𝒅𝒂𝒚; Arthur followed the young one paying attention to every alley he passed.

finally, he got to his house Arthur planned to grab a brick and get into a charging position in one of the alleys when the boy would be in his sight he would charge at him hitting him in the head with the brick as hard as he could and keep on hitting him.

There would be people there as well watching so arthur would use his shirt as a mask. he went back to the drowned town and surprisingly the older boy was still there. This was hard he wanted to kill him but he didn't know how, he could sneak up behind the boy and smash his head with a brick. . . But it was too late he got out of the water and was drying himself Arthur was leaving but he made noise and the boy looked his way seeing Arthur

He grinned And ran after him.

Arthur realizing this turned back and ran as fast as he could. He was running with such speed he didn't know he had.

after a few moments, he looked behind, the boy was gone '𝒈𝒐𝒅𝒔 𝒃𝒆 𝒈𝒐𝒐𝒅; Arthur realizing that from now on they would be on their guard.

Arthur headed home covered in sweat he took a bath and ate, he was studying High valyrian.

"Hāre tubissa iksis ñuha Brōzio Tubis"

Arthur said his first sentence in high valyrian it was a hard but beautiful language.

He kept on studying until sunset and went to sleep for he would need it for tomorrow.
