Kai almost forced down the wine in Jon Arryn's mouth.
He held the old man with one hand, opening the low hatch serving as the entrance with the other.
10... 9... 8... 7...
"Well met, my lord," Kai said, hissing the last words in Jon Arryn's ear.
3... 2...
He flung the old man up like throwing a stone. The sound of Jon Arryn's frail figure striking the ground had just entered Kai's ears when the mission finally ended.
1.
The world stagnated.
Kai could feel it in his bones.
He could also tell he was not a part of this world, even though he was standing in it. A blue shine covered him, slowly at first, then it gave out a blinding flash.
...
Outside the sewers, Jon Arryn fumbled to his feet.
It was high noon, with guards patrolling like bees, and in the open area, the Hand looked like a dying rotten rat standing upright. Not a sight everyone wanted to look at, and not a sight anyone could miss.
"Who's there?" a tall, white-cloaked knight demanded. His helm was in his hand, and his face was of an old man. But he looked strong, incredibly strong. There was a power in his every stride, like an old elephant, charging among the young stallions.
Ser Barristan the bold!
Jon Arryn looked at him and smiled. Finally, finally, he was at home. He took a step towards the Lord Commander of the Kingsguard, but then his entire body stiffened. It was like he was becoming a block of ice from the inside out. There was horror on Jon Arryn's face, realizing what was happening.
Ser Barristan saw that horror more clearly.
More guards had come out, rushing towards Jon Arryn in their red cloaks and gold cloaks, each trying to outdo the other.
Too late.
The old knight held Jon Arryn's hand and felt the rocky stiffness.
Jon Arryn's lips parted, letting out the last breath. Duty. Honor. Hate. All became the source of an unimaginable strength for him, and he said, "The seed is strong."
Jon Arryn's tale ended there.

Kai materialized into the White Room.
There was an anxiousness in Kai's heart, thinking if he had succeeded or not. He didn't get to wait for long.

...
What the? Kai gaped at those words.
He could almost imagine a man shouting out his lungs, his arms outstretched, beaming and roaring. The ecstasy in this notification wasn't unreal, he could tell.
The notification continued.
