Chapter 15: Fighting Pits!
===========================
Kenway is standing behind Daenerys with an empty chair to her right, Missandei to her left and Tyrion on her right on the other side of the empty chair, Kenway was offered a seat but he's staying with Daenerys he doesn't trust anyone here right now.
Kenway looked around the arena seeing the Targaryen sigel around, he can't lie, it's a really cool banner but he's a Stark and always will be, he looked behind him to see Daario pacing pissed at him while he has a hatchet on his hip, Cold Breath sheathed on his back and a small knife in his boot, you never know when you'll need it.
Daenerys: Will you relax...
Kenway looked down to her as she was looking out to the cheering crowed, clearly excited to see people kill each other.
Daenerys: ... I can feel your tension just sitting here.
Kenway smiled to himself but turned his head so Daario could see him.
Kenway: Apologies my love. I'll do what I can.
Kenway looked back to her when Daario pretty much cursed him out to see her looking up to him smirking, she knows he does this to wind him up, Kenway's begun to love it when people want what he has.
That was the only thing said before Hizdahr made his way towards the empty seat, he sat their like he was meant to be there and Kenway was really tempted to cut his head clean off.
Daenerys: Where have you been?
She asked as he got comfy in the seat Kenway should be sat in but he understands marrying for power, he's a King and he'll probably have to do that same thing when he gets his home back.
Hizdahr: Just making sure everything is in order.
Kenway wasn't sure what he felt like he needed to do, it's just a fighting game right what needs to be sorted out, he then thought about all this Harpies stuff Daenerys told him about and how it was a powerful family in control, Kenway just shook it off as paranoia though keeping his guard up while a man walked into the middle of the pit.
Kenway wasn't listening but as the guy spoke he understood him the weird part is he is speaking Valyrian, Kenway can't understand Valyrian, he can read it but that's about it.
The crowed waited though as the fighters said some shit about fighting for the glory of Daenerys, Daenerys really didn't want to be here though as she has no idea what to do.
Hizdahr: They're waiting for you. Clap your hands.
Daenerys nervously clapped her hands as the crowed came to life and the fighters started their brawl, Kenway watched as Daenerys was clearly uncomfortable with this and as a King he understands, Kenway grew up to be a Lord he was groomed to rule and the fighting pits all though exciting for the public, it's not so fun allowing a mans death.
Daario: That one, the smaller man. No question, that's where you should put your money.
Daario said standing next to Kenway as Kenway was clearly the bigger out the two, height and weight, Daario looked to him as Kenway looked back to him with a scowl.
Kenway: Don't be an idiot. Bigger is always better. Right your m'lady?
Kenway asked her as he could see her smirk looking to Missandei, Kenway chuckled as Daario really hated Kenway, Kenway didn't care though, she clearly choose him out of the two and he can't take the loss.
Daario: People used to bet against me when I fought in the pits. He would have bet against me. Common novice mistake.
Daario said looking to Daenerys but it was like she wasn't even paying him any attention and it was eating him up inside.
Kenway: Have you ever killed 15 men on your own with an arrow in your side, then lead an army to victory in battle after which you...
Kenway was going to talk about the army of Dead but realised he'll be seen as the crazy person and that's not a tag he wants to have so he skipped it to the end.
Kenway: ... Got thrown over board and washed up on a beach?
That was the story he went with as to why he's here, he got thrown over board by a storm and washed up on the sands of Meereen, Kenway looked to Daario and winked with a cocky smile while Daenerys smirked to him, Kenway won.
What they didn't expect was the noble jerk off Hizdahr to take part.
Hizdahr: I've spent much of my life in this arena. And in my experience, large men do triumph over the smaller men far more often than not.
Kenway just found it a little funny that a noble man like this simp is arguing with a hired assassin and a King about combat, Kenway was about to hit back with something but stopped when Daenerys came to his aid.
Daenerys: Has your experience ever involved any actual fighting? You yourself? Have you ever tried to kill another man who was trying to kill you?
Tyrion looked up to Kenway still wondering what has come to the lad he once knew, the Kenway he met would not brag about taking another mans life, hell, he wasn't even sure that Kenway even swung a sword at someone back then but now, now he's different.
Daario: Whenever I got into the pit against a beast like that one, the crowed saw me, all skin and bone back then, then they saw a pile of angry muscles ready to murder me. They couldn't get their money out fast enough...
Daario pulled out his dagger, his knife not his little pecker and waved it around making the noble man flinch in fear, Daenerys thinks he'll make a good king?
Daario: ... But the pile of angry muscles never had any muscles here or here...
Daario was getting on Kenway's nerves at this point so as he was twirling his dagger around trying to show off in front of Daenerys as they all watched him, Kenway took the dagger out of mid air with speed proving Daario wrong.
Kenway: You know? Confidence is good in a battle but arrogance is a different story...
Kenway was getting pretty sick of Daario now trying to swoon his love away from him, it wasn't working but it's the fact he was trying.
Kenway: ... In the end...
Kenway did what Daario just did with the knife making him look like an ass.
Kenway: ... I'm sitting on a throne while your collecting bounties.
Kenway gave Daario back his knife just as the big guy in the pits cut off the smaller guys head, Kenway's right corner of his mouth turned into a smile, Daario walked away as Kenway knelt down to Daenerys after she pulled him to her level.
Daenerys: Be nice little cub~
Daenerys looked to him with that look in her eyes, that's the look of a hungry Dragon and he'll happily feed her but he could feel Hizdahr's eyes burning into the back of his skull so he turned to him making him piss his pants and look to the pit as they clean up from the fight.
Kenway: Problem?
Kenway asked standing up behind him as Daenerys watched him, Kenway placed his hands on his shoulders and applied pressure as the noble man started to sweat and shake his head no.
Kenway: I can't hear you...
Kenway moved his head towards his ear basically whispering to him as Daenerys smiled to the scene, Kenway's an Alpha male, and Alpha wolf and no one is going to take that from him or talk back.
Hizdahr: No, sire.
Kenway stood back up and patted his shoulder making him groan in pain then go back to Daenerys.
Daenerys: I thought I told you to be a nice cub?
Kenway apparently wasn't going to lose that nickname from her so why not jump in head first to it.
Kenway: I've been a bad cub. What are you gonna do about it?
Kenway asked as she really wanted him right now but she can't, she wants to kiss him in front of everyone but she knows she can't and he knows she can't, Kenway bit his lip with a smirk while Daario was planing a way to get rid of him for good.
They all then heard a voice they all recognised, Kenway didn't but he knew who it was, it was Jorah Mormont, this is a problem because Kenway's father exiled him years ago and so did Daenerys, exiled means to never return so why is he here.
Hizdahr: Your Grace...
Hizdahr started but Kenway moved his right hand to cover his mouth and with one stare he shut it as Daenerys looked to her former trusted swordsman, Kenway moved his hand of his mouth and placed it on her shoulder, forcing her to look away from Jorah and to him as Kenway knelt beside her.
Kenway: To rule a kingdom you have to make the tough choices...
That was all he said as he stood back up, Daenerys knew what he meant and clapped her hands bringing another cheer from the crowed and a disappointed look from Jorah, they watched as the 6-men in the pit fought and Jorah was the only left alive, also getting beat along the way, while everyone was more focused on the winner, Kenway knelt to his boot and pulled the knife out throwing it behind him and in the direction of Daario into the chest a of a Harpy.
Kenway: Keeping an eye out are we?
He asked Daario just as more Harpies came out the crowed, Deanery's stood up and kept close to Kenway, she's seen him fight and her best chance is with him, Kenway twirled Cold Breath in his right hand and hatchet in his left as the Harpies attacked, Kenway and Daario worked with the Unsullied to keep Daenerys safe for a little while till they were getting over whelmed.
Kenway: Into the pit!
Kenway jumped down and helped Daenerys down with him as the Unsullied with Daario joined them, Kenway helped Missandei and Tyrion wanting them all safe and sound, Kenway then used the training his brothers gave him when he was younger, back then they seemed pointless but now, not so much.
Kenway: Form a circle around the Queen!
Kenway took the lead as the Unsullied did as he instructed happy to follow orders to keep their queen safe, Daenerys did note that he called her a queen and it's progress but now's not the time for that as they formed a circle around Daenerys, Missandei and Tyrion, Kenway stood with Daario to his left and Jorah to his right holding his sword diagonally across his face with both hands on the hilt, Kenway could see Daenerys fear and he wondered if that's what his family looked like when the Lannister's killed them.
Kenway used that rage to fight with, Daario and Kenway with Jorah actually made a good team working well together, turns out their want to keep Daenerys safe is pushing aside the hate they're holding for each other, allowing them to work on keeping the girls and Tyrion safe from the countless Harpies coming from seemingly nowhere.
They kept on fighting while slowly tiring out, a few Unsullied have fallen while Kenway is still going strong, this is knew to him, yes he had great stamina before but he's not breaking a sweat here, Daario and Jorah however are slowly tiring out, all hope seemed lost for their lives until the roar of a Dragon was heard everyone stood and watched as Drogon flew around the arena distracting everyone stopping the fighting for a moment.
Drogon landed nearby and started to attack the people trying to do harm to Daenerys, the dragon let out a roar as a spear pierced the dragons weak spot, Kenway watched as Daenerys ran over to the dragon and pulled the spear out making the dragon roar in her face.
He watched as Daenerys rested her hand on the dragon's snout seeing that she cared for the dragon as if it were her babe and she lived up to her name.
Kenway was brought out his watchful gaze when a spear caught his right arm making him drop Cold Breath momentarily, Kenway throw his hatchet into the chest of one of the people throwing said spears before picking up Cold Breath and ran to Daenerys just as someone was about to hurt her, Daenerys looked to him having just saved her life.
Daenerys: Thank you.
She didn't need to thank him but was happy she did, Daenerys was hugging the dragons head at this point and Kenway is amazed by this creature in front of him, Kenway read about dragons but thought they were extinct, they are awesome in person.
Kenway: You need to get out of here!
Kenway shouted over the fighting and walked towards her Drogon growled at him and Kenway stepped back not wanting to piss off the dragon but he felt a weird feeling while looking to the dragon then Drogon looked away from him, Daenerys and Kenway were confused by the creatures reaction to him but that's for another day.
Daenerys got an idea and climbed on to the back of Drogon with Kenway's help, Kenway side stepped a swing and headbutted them down, it actually hurt more then it looked because that stupid mask they wear.
Daenerys: Valahd!
As soon as she said the dragon did and took off into the sky, everyone watched a little longer as Drogon flow around them before taking off into the sky's taking Daenerys away from them and harm's way...
