The Departure

10 days later,

After welcoming the new prime minister, she gathered her knights and left for the royal port, in the capital, where the Royal Air ship now complete was waiting for her.

"Wow" said prince Gendry, he couldn't help but admire his friends work, the ship was 3 times the size of a normal airship.

The airship, named the "Fury," resembles a floating fortress, with a sturdy wooden hull and a prominent keel. The ship's envelope is a patchwork of leather and canvas, emblazoned with the emblem of House Baratheon. Billowing sails and a network of ropes and pulleys harness the wind, while a steam-powered propeller provides additional thrust.

The ship Armaments include:

- Catapults and trebuchets for launching projectiles.

- Swivel-mounted crossbows and ballistae for anti-aircraft defense

- Cannons adapted for aerial and sea combat

- A crew of skilled archers and men-at-arms, which was personally picked by his mother to accompany them to Westeros.

The Defensive features of the ship included:

- Metal plating to protect the hull and envelope

- Netting screens to deflect projectiles

- A reinforced cockpit for the crew

Fury's design Evokes a sense of wonder and awe. Its presence in the skies would be a formidable sight, striking fear into the hearts of their enemies.

"My finesse work" said the proud Master of Innovation.

Gendry kept looking at the ship, "We are visiting my mother's home, we are not going to war Senku." He said with an amused tone to his friend.

"Come now, the last thing I want to hear is I didn't adequality protect the empress." he said with a smirk.

Gendry turned and shook the hand of his friend. "I'll see you in 5 months, try not to piss off the council" they both laughed, Senku went back to his studio while Gendry make his way to board the ship.

As Gendry step on the ship, he sees his mother speaking with the ship captain, he looks to her left and see his storm guards waiting for him. He decided to approach them instead of aggravating his mother.

"Shez, Byleth, Alear, Link, Cloud" he greeted them.

All five bent the knee and 4 of the 5 said together "My Prince, we are here to serve."

"Rise my friends" Gendry said, and all five were on their feet again.

Gendry looked at the mute warrior of the storm guard, and addressed him, "Link, I hope your betrothed his not too upset with me taking you away from her for so long"

The blonde mute shook his head, earning a small laugh form the group. They all knew how terrifying the princess of the green isle can be.

Gendry turned to address the commander of the storm guard, "are we stock with provisions Cloud."

The commander answered, "yes, we have all that we would need for our 5 months stay in Westeros."

Before Gendry could say more, his mother called out to him, "Find your quarters to make sure everything is up to par" he finishes, the 5 bowed and went to complete the task.

Gendry made his way to his mother, who was standing on the gunwales of the ship, watching as the 13 lands shrinks from their view as they ascend the heavens.

"Mother" Gendry manage to get her attention.

Still looking at the now clouds, she spoke, "when we arrive in Westeros, you will do your best to not cause trouble, this is not our home, the people there are vile, deceitful, and power-hungry fools, who will do anything to better their stations" she said sternly.

She turns to look at Gendry when she did not hear an answer from him, the look in her eyes had Gendry answer without hesitation, "Yes Mother" he said.

"Good, go check out your room, and plan your schedule with Cloud, we will be flying for 3 weeks if the weather permits it" Gendry bowed to his mother and left to do what she asks of him.

Xelia continues to watch the clouds, until she heard step from behind her, "your room is ready your excellency" said one of the ship maids.

"What is your name?" Xelia asks the red-haired young girl.

"Ariana, your excellency" she said head still cast downward.

Xelia took her by the chin and raised her head, they were now eye to eye, "Thank you Ariana" she said and made her way to her room. Leaving behind a blushing girl.

The first week all Gendry did was train, he trained with his storm guards. 2 members of the round table helped him polish his strikes, with his hammer. Zach Fair and Marth the Hero, Gendry looked up to these figures growing up, he wishes to be like them, man of Honor. He followed their instruction on improving to the letter.

All training took place in the evening, so he could rest at night and be able to eat a hearty breakfast in the morning.

The second week, his mother decided that he should have a crash course on Westeros society, so when he gets there, he won't fall for their 'game of thrones' as she calls it.

Gendry was a straightforward person like his late father, he had no time for games. He said what he meant and meant what he said, there were no honeyed words coming from him, his mother always said that he reminds her of his little brothers, his uncle's Robert and Stannis.

It is for that reason he hated those lessons from his mother, but he had little choice, with only the Nareth sea bellow them and the heavens above them, he endured those lessons.

By the 3rd week in the air, his lessons with his mother were complete and first thing he did was go back to training.

"Gods, I miss this." He said excitedly as he blocked a sword strike from link, only to retaliate and bash his Warhammer into the mute warrior shield. Who was sent back a few feet due to the strength of the blow.

Link surged forward and met Gendry's hammer with his sword, after a quick blade lock, both equally matched in strength, they spring apart.

"You never disappoint link" said Gendry who now bore a predatory smile on his face.

The mute warrior knows that look very well, it means Gendry was getting serious, he adjusted his shield and sword, waiting for his prince.

They danced the dance of steel for 30 straight minutes until cloud ended the sparring and everyone went to bed, as tomorrow they would cross the line that turns the Narith Sea into the Sunset Sea.

The next day, Prince Gendry and Empress Xelia stood by as they watched the Narith Sea become the Sunset Sea.

Guarding his mother was 3 members of the knight's table. Needle Knight Leda, Silver eyes Clare and Malenia Blade of Miquella, he knew with those three his mother was safe.

Gendry turn to look at his mother, she had a small smile on her face. He wondered if it's because she was finally home.
