The creature that Jacob saw with an outstretched arm before him was no less, or more than human, but with very distinct features. He had seen aliens; this wasn't one.
The creature stood tall, almost dwarfing him. It had pitch-black skin with tiny constellation-like blemishes etched onto its body. Its eyes glowed like sharp beams and glared directly at the white-haired boy with no apparent emotion.
It had human-shaped ears, but no hair on its head, and its neck was covered in large, bright golden rings that completely covered the elongated part of its body. So were its arms, legs, nostrils, and temples.
All were covered in these bright golden rings that elevated its appearance a hundredfold. When it spoke, it sounded like a thousand people speaking at once. "Welcome to the Tower of Sun. We are the Meereens, here to guide you on your journey of conquest."
