It had been a few hours after the Master has given arthur the pup. He ordered arthur to bring the pup where ever he goes and he did. when they left the dome, the unsullied went to the bay and bathed and arthur did the same.
Arthur had noticed all their cocks were gone and they had small wooden straws in their holes, like black rat. When they got back to the barracks, Arthur broke his fast with a whole lamb. When they brought him a tankard, Arthur asked black rat what it was.
"Wine of courage," he said, when Arthur asked what was in it, Black rat slapped arthur in the back of the neck and told him not to ask any more questions and drink.
This time when arthur finished the drink he was full, but it wasn't like last time, his stomach didn't feel like it was about to burst.
After breakfast, black rat told the rest of the unsullied something, and they dispersed.
"Follow" black rat said.
Arthur followed him inside the dome, then black rat gave him a shield and said
" you will master the shield"
Arthur looked down at his shield it was small
"Can I have a bigger one?" said arthur
black rat went to the racks and got a bigger one.
the shield was wider than arthur and it covered his knees up to his chin, but it was light for arthur
"every fall, one whip" black rat said as he unsheathed his short sword.
arthur knew what he meant, he lifted his shield, Black rat was walking around him, he picked up his pace now he was running.
Arthur was rotating in a circle his head started to hurt and his eyes started to blur.
while arthur was rotating to the right,
Black rat saw his chance and jumped right
And he thrust his sword at Arthur's side.
Arthur with all his strength and speed twisted his torso and brought the shield to his side.
*CLANG*
A loud sound was made and Arthur turned around and plummeted to the floor.
Black rat slashed his sword down at Arthur's back. Arthur felt it, adrenaline was rushing through his veins. He spun around blocking the sword but the force of it was too great since the shield slammed into Arthur's face, almost breaking his nose.
Black rat leaped to Arthur's side where he was vulnerable and kicked him in the ribs.
Arthur rolled over clutching his left rib, with tears coming out but not trying to make a sound.
"Up" black rat said coldly
Arthur got up breathing in and out while drying his tears.
Arthur picked up his shield, Black rat leaped and did a vertical cut aiming for the top of his head.
Arthur quickly raised his shield blocking the attack and leaving his body and face open.
Black rat seeing this, kicked him in the face finally breaking his nose.
Arthur cried
"W-why did y-you do that," He said barely getting the words out. " that w-was dishonorable"
black rat smirked and kicked arthur who blocked it with his shield.
"the honorable die and the dishonorable live do you know why?" black rat said
"n-no"
black rat frowned "Fool look what is happening now,"
'𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒔 𝒎𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒇𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝒅𝒊𝒓𝒕𝒚'
Arthur grabbed sand and threw it at black rats eyes,
Arthur wasting no time, tried slamming the side of his shield on black rats shin, but before he could connect, black rat slammed the pommel of his sword onto Arthurs's head knocking him out.
