So far this story has around 1500 views and that just blows my mind and I can't believe you guys like it, but just so you know that means a lot for me and so, I will try to post one more chapter as soon as I can, and then make sure that the story does not suck... too much at least, I am from Croatia so please forgive me for my slow and bad way of writing in Englis no matter how much I have written I still found it hard to write in English.
2 weeks after finding the Wildings
Wilding camp
POV: Vlad
'Oh, shiiiiiiiit did he just say that his father is Lord Stark...no, wrong he is a King! not Lord but a King, what the hell? fuck my life and fuck youuuuu ROB, that means I am at least, 300 years before King Robert ''the Fat'' goes to Winterfell to ask Lord Eddard Stark to be his Hand of the King, I know that now that am vampier so time should mean nothing for me but what the hell am I supposed to do for 300+ years in Westeros?'
Bran ''Vlad? is everything all right, you just freeze for a few moments''
Well what do I say to explain my surprise to him, oh I know, I will just say that I am from a continent from across the sunset sea and that I didn't know that are any humans living on this continent, that was the story I was thinking about telling anyone asking me from where I am, it's not the truth...but like hell I am telling anyone that I have come from a different world, in the best case scenario they will call me crazy and in worst they will kill me on the spot.
Vlad ''ah I am sorry Prince Bran, I didn't even know that anyone even lives on this continent, so am just surprise to see there is even a kingdom here, I was sure those wildlings are the norm around this area''
For two weeks I was planning about telling that story to anyone who asks me, and I will tell them that the sunset sea is called The Storm sea for the constant storm raging near the middle of the sea and that I have spent 5 years traveling on board a small 30 meter boat, and if anyone asks me why I travel for so long to come? I will just say that I was Count what is basically like Lord in power I could have, but I was sick of being a ruler so I took my ship and some supplies and went to make my self some adventure.
'I hope I will not sound like a madman after I say that to L...King Stark who now I will have to definitely meet because I just saved two of his son's, my life is soo weird now'
Bran'' How could you not know there is a Kingdom here? I thought everyone in Essos knows about Westeros and our Kingdom of Winter?''
'I hope he will not get it that I am lying to him and he will not call me on my bullshit'
Vlad'' Essos? is that the name of this continent?''
Both of them now have the look on their faces like I just say the sky is red or pigs fly, Sorry kids but no way I am telling you the truth about my origin, only me saying bullshit about my origin, and that is all you can get from me and even then I will not go into too much of details.
Benyen '' wait for a moment brother I want to ask him something, where did you come from then?, if you don't know about Essos or Westeros are you a wildling then?''
They both are now looking at me with the same kind of fear they had when those wildlings were around them and now I kind of feel bad about not killing the wildlings sooner, instead I waited for 2 weeks for the wildlings to lead me to the nearest village and now those two kids have gone through an intense situation which will probably scar them for life.
Vlad ''I came across the Sea of Storms...from the west some ten years ago''
Bran and Benyen'' Whattt?''
Now both of them have a look of amazement on their faces and disbelief that I actually came from across the sunset sea, and if I remember the lore of Books of song of ice and fire no one in 10 000 years has gone across the sunset sea and returned to tell the tale, so that lie is the best kind of lie for them to believe that to be the place of my origin and not to look too much into any of my possessions like my gun or my clothes at least I could say that they are normal from where I'm from.
Bran'' you're from across the Sunset sea?''
Benyen'' but...how? in 10 000 years, anyone who tries to cross was unsuccessful in crossing the sea, not even our ancestor King Brandon the Shipwright with hundreds of ships had failed to return home, how did you cross it?''
Vlad '' barely, I can tell you that at least, for 5 years I was thinking that I have died and that I'm in hell, since the beginning of my journey for day and night rain and thunder was my constant companion once I have reached the coast I unloaded all of my possession and then I have burned the ship, since then I live in a nearby cave that I have found''
Bran/Benyen '' Wow''
They kind of now look like kids who just saw Santa clause for the first time or some Hollywood big shot actor and also they look as they are one heartbeat away from asking me for my audiogram.
Vlad ''Now prince Bran, prince Benyen how about we eat some of this food and then I will lead you back to your father''
They vigorously nod their heads and start walking to a nearby fire with few pieces of meat already coking and I started to take the dead wildlings body's a little bit farther away so that they don't stink up the campsite and after those two Starks get some rest I will lead them in the direction of Winterfell.
Week later
Well apparently what happened is that Bran has gotten himself lost on the way in the forest and after wondering like ducklings without their mother they got caught by those wildlings so now we are trying to found the way back to Winterfell, and so far we are making good progress because of my none existing need for sleep we are traveling each day close to 50 or more Km per day maybe, even more, it is hard to track distance in the forest but we are managing.
They have asked me so far a lot about my homeland and what it is like, I didn't know what to tell them if I am being honest to my self but in the end I decided to tell them that I had a dream about our island erupting and killing everyone who lives on the island and how I have tried to tell everyone that we need to flee but no one believed me and in the end and that I was angry at those fools, and how I took one ship and loaded all that I could so that I could flee at least alone.
Later they ask me did the island erupted as I thought it will, so I told them that after half an hour of sailing the island erupted and fire consume every bit of land and then the sea rise up and swallow the island and left only a few items floating, I told them that so that no one will go and try to found my ''homeland'' after I told them that I can never go back home.
We were traveling for week now and soon the sun will go down and we were about to make a campsite for tonight but luckily for us ten riders arrive from the tree lines with Stark Banner's hight in the air, and before I could even imagine what to do there was a loud shout coming from the riders.
Rider#1'' halt! who goes there''
Later that night
We just have arrived in Winterfell courtyard around midnight with the riders escorting us to our destination, apparently, King Stark has sent out every rider he has into Wolfwood to search for his son's and has sent ravens all across the north with massive rewards for anyone who founds and bring back his son unharmed.
So once we where in the courtyard of Winterfell first thing I notice was the small difference in temperature compared to the one outside of the castle walls and someone shouting loudly ''MY SON'S'' ah, that must be Torrhen Stark King of the North, a massive man if I can say that about anyone that it must be King Stark with hight of close to two meters of hight and looking like he can lift a horse in air without any problems.
After few minutes of hugging his son's and small talk with them he abruptly turns towards me and before I could kneel or do anything at all I was off the ground and in his big arms he was mumbling about thank you so fast I barley couth him saying anything at all.
After he had finally put me on the ground after few minutes at a minimum he dragged me and his Son's to the inner keep yelling at servants all around us about Feast to prepare for the savior of his house? yeah, apparently his wife has died a few years back and he only has his two boys and his brother still alive.
Once we were seated in his solar he told me he now owes me the biggest debt in the history of his house for saving his family from extinction and is offering me to be named a Lord and be given a keep and lands.
Sufficient to say I was blown away and after some thinking about it in my head I told King Stark that I will accept only if I can get the lands that I am already living on, unfortunately he told me that those lands don't have a keep or smallfolk so I will be given some people to help me to build my keep and some people to work my new lands, and for tonight he is throwing a big feast in my name so that we can celebrate the new lord of the North.
During the festivities King Stark asks me to tell him who am I and from what place do I have come from, and so I retold him how I have escaped from an island from the sunset sea and that I believe that this continent is without people and that I am living for the last 10 years in a cave in the south-east region of the mountains just north of the wolf woods and that I have brought with me supplies from my homeland and that I have to build my self home in the mountains and that is the reason why I ask him to grant me that lands.
He was skeptical about my claim but during the festive I went in the courtyard and show King Torrhen and his children and few nobles who are not to much in the cups what my weapon can do, sufficient to say they where at awe how my sniper rifle can shot fast and utterly penetrate castle forge steal plate armor that they put in front of the wall.
Few nobles offered me thousands of gold coins to sell them my gun but I told them that it is a family heirloom so that I can't do that, after the night came to an end and the Starks and his court nobles have gone to sleep through the coming of hangover I was sitting in the room that was appointed to be my chambers for the next week or two until King Stark gathers the gifts he will be giving me to make my new lands livable.
The gifts are 20 man at arms, 100 young families of smallfolk with 2 or 3 children up to age of 12 and a master builder with 6 apprentices to help me build my keep in my new lands that cover the southernmost region of Norths mountains and a chest with 1000 gold coins and another with 400 gold coins in silver and copper coins split in half in value.
Lucky for me because winter just ended the smallfolk families already have all of they stuffs ready for a journey because they where planning to spend the upcoming summer in the farmlands around Winterfell and because they now will be going to my new lands without village or a keep King Torrhen has given each family a gold coin as incentive even though they did not need any incentive.
For two weeks I stay in Winterfell castle getting to know the Stark family more and I have spent some time talking with King Stark about the lands that I now own apparently I will be owning a large part of the land in mountains and hills and 1 part in 5 of my land will be Wolfwood and then he told me who my closest neighbors are going to be, Whitehills and Foresters and that I will olso have the mounting clans up north as my neighbors so I can expect some trading with them if I need food or wood I can trade with them the gold I have gain.
And before I can blink two weeks have pass bay and me and my new people where going through the woods to build a new village and then a keep for my self...and I already know what kind of keep that will be, from the amazing movie Lord of the Rings the two towers the Helm's Deep, because the entrance in my cave is in a cliff side and that castle is so cool and easy to defend it I only hope the summer will last long so that I can build my castle and the village because I now have few hundred humans beings to take care for.
I can't believe how many people love this story and I am so glad for it and I will try to make the story as good as you all hope it will be and I am sory for this long wait betvine the two chapters it is spring in Croatia and I live in a vilage so me and my family where working the field for the past few weeks just as Vlad Tepes will have to work the field in his valey.
If you guys could write more of honest rewies I will try to post new chapter before I have to go working this summer.
