"Child of water he-" Arya couldn't finish his chant as he vomited out blood.
The monster walked closer to him, dragging its long arms on the ground as if trying to savor the moment. "Ahg, ahg, ahg." laughed the beast. It sounded like a mix between a scream and a howl.
"You bastard," replied Arya as he raised his arm out to cast another spell. "Child of water heed my call, bring about a chill to freeze my-" Arya's words were cut off by the sound of claws piercing flesh.
Blood sprayed into the night, and Arya felt his body leave the ground.
His vision seemed to elevate as he was brought to eye level with the monster. Arya was confused as he looked down, he realized that the monster had stabbed him in the stomach, lifting him off his feet. It seemed as if the pain only started once he realized what had happened.
Arya was about to die and he wouldn't even be conscious to witness his end. The monster looked at Arya as if it were making fun of him.
