Chapter 65: Chapter 65
|Pedro - Commander of the Bright Banner|
Everything went to shit.
"Raise the anchor! We need to get out of here! I want to die here from a freaking ghost and demon!"
Many of my men are dead. Out of seven hundred men on my personal ship, only a hundred of them survive.
"Go! The wind is with us. I don't want to die here."
Three of our company ships are gone from a freak explosion in the middle of the sea not too far away from the dock. Almost all of my men are either dead from explosions or from drowning. I did not hear any news about them to this day.
I know that some of them survived the explosion, but I have a feeling they have the same fate as the people who are gone while staying in Lunaria.
I look back at Lunaria in the distance and widen my eyes when I see twenty or so figures standing where we are docked earlier.
"It was them. T-they are the ones who took Briar away! T-The B-Boogeyman."
"The boogeyman?" I look at my men, who get even paler every second. "What is that?"
"I-I heard it from the day before Briar is gone. We are in a tavern drinking and eating before one of the bards tells us about the story of a Boogeyman."
"Tell me."
He nodded his head and took a deep breath.
"It was an old story about a group of people wearing a black cloak and hiding in the shadows. They are the ones who spread fear for the people who try to harm Lunaria. They are the ears in the shadow who can hear anything. They are the eyes in the starless night who sees all. They are the protectors of Lunaria who watch anyone under the bright moonlight. They are the opposite of the Sun who shines upon the world, they are the hunter in the dark. Beware. Beware. The Boogeyman is watching and they will take you away to their dark paradise."
I shudder a little and look in the direction of Lunaria. I will never get back to that place ever again. That place is not a mortal like us can mess up against.

|3rd POV|
Strange rumors are going around Braavos. This rumor is about the Bright Banner company losing most of their men after sailing to the south, to Lunaria. Among those who hear the rumor is a man waiting for the people from Bright Banner.
"They are late."
"Patience, brother. Let's wait for a little bit longer."
"Tch."
These men come from Westeros, and they are quite famous. They are Tywin Lannister and Kevan Lannister. They are currently waiting for the commander of the Bright Banner company, who promises them they will meet in this tavern.
After waiting for a few more minutes, the server of the tavern approaches them and says,
"My lord, someone is waiting for you in the private room. He says that the Banner will speak to the lion."
Tywin nods his head and walks toward the private room with the rest of his guard. When they enter the room, they see eight people waiting for them. Tywin can see a chest sitting on the ground near Pedro's feet.
Tywin frowns a little when he sees the chest. It was the same chest he gave the Bright Banner. He has a bad feeling about this.
"Lord Tywin."
"Pedro, how is it? Do you get it?"
"No"
Pedro asks his men to put the chest on the table and then says.
"We cannot get the cure and we will not get back there. Here is your money and I even give you more gold than what you give us. We will not go back to Lunaria."
"Why? Is this the power of Bright Banner? You are nothing but a coward."
One of the captains of Bright Banner is ready to take out his sword, but Pedro raises his hand and stops him from doing anything unnecessary.
"You don't know what we have been through. More than a thousand of my men are gone. They are dead or worse. So I will not risk my life and my men's life for the job."
"So a coward."
"Coward? Then why did you not go there yourself, Lord Tywin? Or the lion has lost its teeth and claws? It looks like the Lannister is losing their power, huh?"
Pedro says it in a mocking way that makes Tywin angry. All of his life, his main goal is always to make Lannister strong. He wants to make the name Lannister to be feared by the people around the world.
Here someone is mocking his legacy by saying that Lannister is weak and by saying the Lannister is already losing its teeth. Tywin wants to kill Pedro for what he said but cannot do that because he knows that he will lose in the fight.
Tywin orders his men to take the chest back and get ready to get out of the room. However, before Tywin can get out of the room, Pedro decides to give him a warning.
"If you decide to send some of your men there, beware of the Boogeyman."
"Boogeyman?"
"They are the shadows who hunt in the dark."
Tywin sneers at the warning and walks away from the room. He did not believe what Pedro said and thought it was just the paranoia of a cowardly man. Pedro can only sigh and shake his head. If he loses many of his men because Tywin did not heed his warning, so be it.
