Chapter 29

“My lord, there is a man ... and woman here with very ... interesting information regarding the Mountain, Ser Gregor Clegane. Seems that, well, they can explain better,” one of his key officers, a fellow Unsullied known as Cat Piss, informed Grey Worm, now Master of War and Lord of the Dreadfort.

“Who is it, Cat Piss? Bring them in ... but under close guard,” Grey Worm insisted, still getting used to the news that he had an actual castle of his own somewhere in the North, a gift from Jon Snow himself.

“My lord, this is... , “ Cat Piss struggled to remember the name for a second.

“Camren Hill. From the Westerlands. And this is my intended, Ashlyh Waters. She’s ... from King’s Landing, where she served as a maid to Cersei Lannister for a time. My lord, she was abducted from the Red Keep and raped repeatedly by none other than Ser Gregor Clegane, the infamous Mountain. He’s headed for Oldtown in the Reach, there to take a ship for Essos.

“He’s got a band of men with him, too. Mostly deserters from the earlier Lannister forces, who are ready to turn sellswords for now at least. I know because I was one of them for a brief moment. I deserted at the Goldroad, but can you blame me with that fire-breathing dragon and those Dothraki screamers?” Camren explained to Grey Worm, feeling some embarrassment over his cowardice in battle nonetheless.

“And he was brave enough to rescue me from my captivity, at the risk of incurring the wrath of not only the Mountain, but his deputy, a literal bastard called Decran Hill, who also used me for his own pleasure and helped muster those outlaws. I agreed to marry Camren after he swore not to bugger me as the Mountain did. Cunny only. Well, and maybe a little cocksucking now and then. When he’s clean enough for that. And he can have his whores for the buggery bit, since I can’t do that for him,” Ashlyh was so nervous that she rambled and volunteered too much information for Grey Worm’s ears.

“And you say that he’s headed for Oldtown in the Reach? To sail for Essos with his party of men? Sellswords, to fight in the East. To hire themselves out to Volantis or Pentos or Lys or Myr? Or even Braavos? If he gets there, he could be put to work in the Bay of Dragons, to help restore the old order ... to bring back slavery. In Astapor and Yunkai, no less. It’s already back in Meereen, it seems. Yes, he will have to be stopped before he can make it. He would be very dangerous if allowed to fight for those cities.

“Thank you for that news. I assure you that you will be rewarded for that, if it’s proven true, of course. If you lie, I’ll make you ... what I am. I’m pretty sure that Ashlyh would miss your cock and balls, even if you didn’t. We must catch him and stop him, and the sooner the better. You’ll stay with us for now, until we can bring the Mountain to battle and vanquish him. He must now be stopped!” Grey Worm grew a bit more intense and emotional as he thought about Ser Gregor Clegane, the Mountain.
