The Red Temple

[Deleted]

A modest, wharfside temple to R'hllor

[Deleted]

Robb stood in front of the temple, trying his best to slow down his beating heart. He took a deep breath, and walked toward the doors leading inside.

[The Smith]

The red doors opened easily, and there was a largish empty room with a single man seated on the ground in front of a fire.

[Deleted]

Robb stood in the opening for a while, before he stepped inside and walked toward the man. He continued to try to make his heartbeat not beat as hard as it did, he didn't want the single man to hear that he was nervous, it wasn't every day that a man felt the calling of new god and Robb still wasn't certain what his father would say if he knew where Robb was.

He cleared his throat as he stood before the man, looking at his surroundings as he spoke.

"Excuse me, Ser? I am seeking the septon that runs this temple?"

[The Smith]

"There is no septon here boy." The man said.

[Deleted]

Robb felt embarressed as the man spoke, of course the leader here wasn't going to be a septon, but Robb didn't know much about the Red God's clergy really so he had gone with what he knew.

"What are the priests called here then? Because I would like to speak to one of them."

[The Smith]

"Why do you seek the flames?" The man asked.

[Deleted]

Robb shifted nervously from one side to the other, trying to find the words to explain the dreams and feelings he had had in the last couple of weeks.

"I feel they are trying to tell me something, but I don't know what." he finally said as he realized that he had been standing quiet for some time.

[The Smith]

"Have you asked?" The man asked him.

[Deleted]

Robb shook his head.

"No, I always wake up before I get the chance."

[The Smith]

The man stepped back, and motioned toward the flames, "Then ask now."

[Deleted]

Robb took a deep breath, trying his best to remember the reaccuring dream he had had in the last couple of weeks.

"I am in a dark place wandering. It is cold, so cold and so dark, that I can't see two steps in front of me. Something don’t feel right about the place, and something is chasing me? Then I catch another glimpse of something dark but it feels darker than darkness alone! Suddenly it begins to blow. First it's a caressing wind, then it feels what a predator claws must feel on the skin of its felt prey. There are not a living soul in sight, except for me. I start moving away from the wind and the darkness and suddenly I back into something. I twist around. The darkest off darkness towers behind me, the thing is in a man's figure, and with out a warning it lowers its dread shadow over me. Then there is light in the form of a flame, chasing the darkness away and then I hear something, but I can never hear exactly what and then I wake up. So my question is what is it the flame wants?"
