ONE ❢ VIDEO

[The woman who appears on-screen does not look particularly angry, or even that getting angry is something she makes a habit of beyond possibly rolling her eyes when a barista writes her name wrong on a Starbucks cup. She's standing against a nondescript stone wall much like Hope was in his first broadcast.

After a moment, a mildly curious expression resolves itself into a perfectly pleasant smile that appears to be entirely sincere in nature.]

While I can't say I enjoyed having to be brought back at all, that was a wonderful welcome you creatures gave me and I wanted to thank you for it. It's like you couldn't even control how much rage you were expelling.

I see many of you have had a look at my armory, I hope you enjoy it. Keep up the good work and I'll keep you as well stocked as you keep me.

We are different. For one, he's an ass while I am magnificent.

[whichend]

[ She chuckles. ]

Hope seems to think so too. And you are not a second face of Hope's, either?

[firstreturned]

I am not. I am still more magnificent. Do Gods often have multiple faces for you?

[whichend]

The one I served did. He was the Many-Faced God, and his gift was death.

[firstreturned]

Well he sounds like a prick. How are you supposed to worship someone if you can't tell who he is?

[whichend]

Through priests .

[ it's the priests that worry her more than the god itself, really. ]

[firstreturned]

And they're trustworthy?

[whichend]

I don't know.

But I had nowhere else to go, so it didn't matter.

[firstreturned]

Hm.

Well, if you give me a name I'll give you a title, if you'd like.

[whichend]

What kind of name? A name like that of a human, or the sea, or the stars?

[firstreturned]

Whatever kind of name is acceptable to give in exchange for a title.

[whichend]

Valyria, then.

Named for the old city of fire and blood.
