They have their legends here of the Watcher and the Hunter. What do you know of them?

Has anyone mentioned the King Killer?

If I fall in the arena, look after STORMBORN. And keep her from retaliating, if you can.

[*This is certainly the group Dany sent her last locked network post out to, but it can also include anyone whose player thinks they'd be included. I tried to make a list and ultimately didn't want to accidentally omit anyone. If there's reason to think either of them would consider your character friendly or a friend, your character got this.

Also, this entire post isn't really on any specific timeline; could be at any point in the last couple of weeks.]

Aye, all those blindfolded statues, I've seen them, and the beast at her feet. This King Killer is another beast, a dragon, so there must be a woman in his story, too.

But what was there before there was life? That's a puzzle. Things that weren't mortal, it seems. Was she destroying other gods?
For the Araneans, she's in their image, but he's not. Why is that? Is it that way everywhere?

PRIVATE
Death should be the end for anyone at any time. Death is still death — it seems like there would be a cruelty to coming back and dying again and again.

It hasn't happened to you yet, has it? There was a man with us at Valmy, a big man with a long braid down his back, stole a horse from some farm. That was her husband, who she was sold to when she was barely a woman grown. He died then, and he died again for COST, and COST couldn't bring him back. I don't think she'll trust that I'll come back until she sees me.

We just insinuate and deflect.]

The King Killer... I have not heard of this piece of the story. Is it depicted in statues as well?

That was a question I had as well. If the Hunter was once mortal, what sort of mortal was he, if he existed before life itself began? Perhaps it is something to ask the commander or the sergeant, if they have the time to answer.
I am not sure. Perhaps that is what they thought existed before life did?

PRIVATE:
I would agree.
This is a cruel war we fight, in many more ways than one.

I did not meet this man you speak of, though I understand what you mean.
It has not happened to me, though I have been upon death's door more times than I wish. But you are correct. There is no guarantee that COST will be able to revive us, and Daenerys does not seem the one to wait patiently for news for this.

Should what concerns you come to pass, I will lend whatever strength I can toward staying her hand before she can cause too much damage.
