Harry GOT CH 7
He had planned and prepared for this trip for years and he was finally going back. He took his nicest ironship and the wolf pack and headed east to valaria. He had studied ancient maps and a map with the dragon lords seats of power and was going to explore the wasteland. He knew not to drink the water and never uncover his face from the facemasks he created and enchanted like a bubblehead charm. He arrived and was thankful for his ships durability as he constantly ran into things just under the surface. He finally made it ashore where a dragon lord had its main keep. While navigating they emptied the chest every 20 min and it was full of all manor of treasure. He set off on foot with 20 Witcher's, he saw several small fireworms moving in puddles of water. Everyone stayed away. They were attacked after 50 min by a group of 15(ghouls. Witcher) they learned they had poison bites and without Phoenix tears you would die. They made it to what was left of a huge manse the building was made of Dragonstone and was mostly whole. They explore the inside finding many treasures and a few more ghouls. But it was mostly empty but the vault had a decent amount of gold and valaryan steel. They set off back to the boat and made several trips to clear the manse out. They moved on to another nearly in the middle of the main island within sight of the 14 flames. This was the one he was most exited for the massive complex of house balarion. The most powerful dragon lords of valaria. It was walled by a circular wall 1000ft high maybe 5000 yard diameter maybe The doors were sealed the tall buildings and towers looked to be in tacked completely unharmed. The 4 gates in the wall pointed directly north east south and west. The huge decorative Dragonstone double doors also seemed to be enchanted and have some type of wards. This was very impressive and far beyond anything Harry could do. He studied everything and wrote down all he could but he needed to learn more before attempting. He decided to go to a temple of the Dragon gods next. It was about 12 miles away. They were all very tired and went back to the ship as they did not want to spend the night on the land. The next day they went to 3 which all were a bust with very little finds the day after though they struck jackpot. Deep in the earth down tunnels under a destroyed manse they found a vault. The vaults wards were weak from time but it still it took him 3 days to crack it. Inside was the mother load regular treasure yes likely 1 million dragons worth, yes about 2 dozen Valyrian steel objects, and the biggest yes a shiny white dragons egg the size of his head. Unfortunately no books and scrolls were found. They stayed a week loading up all they found while Hadrian searched for something of a personal nature. Which he found and sent a message to his grandfather. He left after another week of searching after 2 more Witcher's were infected by the fire worms. He lost 17 Witcher's and 24 PK on the trip. It was very costly but the rewards were great. After leaving Valyria he headed to his manse on blood stone where he followed directions using his magic, dragon blood, and lightning to hatch the first female dragon since the doom. It was a beautiful bone white dragon the size of a house cat. He could understand its feelings and would even be able to speak parsiltougue to it when it was older. He returned to kings landing where finally his crown jewel was finished being built by the iron born. It was beautiful, it was a huge galleon made mostly of Ironwood with some parts made of weir wood and steel. It had 7 scorpions 6 made of golden heart wood and the large front one made of dragon bone from balarion. The sails numerous and made out of the highest quality material and reenforced with chemicals and magic. The kings suite was a luxurious smaller bedroom although with king sized feather bed and bathroom, it had 5 luxurious dorms with 2 bunk beds each all feather beds and the best luxuries for his wolf pack and leaders called the den along with a full bath, then a further crew quarters that although cramped were still luxurious and enchanted for 300 and another 2 full bathrooms. A full kitchen, a medical bay, a stable with 10 animal stalls, a huge storage hull capable of carrying a great many things everything was enchanted to the max of his currently limited abilities. The ship was also a work of art in itself. The 2 best things in Hadrians opinion was the large and powerful wind engine 15 ft in diameter made of Valyrian steel, gold, and diamonds and also the bottom of the ship was coated with a very thin layer of Valyrian steel from most of what he found in Valyria and using storm chest. He was able to use alchemy once he learned the secret from the citadel about how to reforge the steel. You just needed a small amount of powdered dragon bone which although expensive wasn't impossible to find especially for Hadrian. He used magic to turn the steel to liquid then coat the hull with the steel and then use runes to reduce the drag and friction. In time he wanted to coat the whole hull with it making it nearly indestructible. The rest of the year he spent in KL perfecting and stocking the boat while managing everything else and preparing for his journey. He was about to set out again in a week on his birthday when his grandfather arrived to the capital. Hadrian arranged a feast inviting all those in court. His family was unaware he went to Valyria and most places actually but they learned as mid feast he made an announcement. He had a beautiful chest brought in that had a sword and scabbard on top. He announced he had a gift for his grandfather. He explained he had traveled to old Valyria causing everyone to gasp and then he explained he searched for his great uncle so he could be returned to his home and buried under the rock. He took the sword and presented it to his grandfather who seemed in shock. Tywin took the sword drawing bright boar from its sheath. Tywin then announced his pride in his grandson and that Hadrian brings honor to both his houses. He then formally announced Hadrian as his heir to Castle Rock. He presented the sword to Jaime to wield protecting the king until Hadrian takes his place as lord Lannister of the rock. This was a huge surprise to Hadrian who was concerned about his uncle Terrain and the responsibility of being the lord paramount of the Westerlands. That night became a celebration of Hadrians successes as he told stories of Valyria leaving out only his Dragon Hedwig. He left a week later for the adventure of his life. He was going to see the rest of the world and with his new ship the black pearl he would go 15x faster which was faster then ever before! In the end his ship cost him 1.2 million dragons and he hoped it was worth it he set the pearl as a trading vessel making the long trips to the Remnants and Olympus.
17jan Hadrian was ready to go he visited the iron islands for a quick trip to check up on things and he gave the heir of Harlow and also Asha Greyjoy his blessing and gave Harlow nightfall and decided to take them with him on his trip. He stopped at Dorne briefly to visit Oberon Martell who he has become good friends with after his public refusal when he was 11 to become a knight because the mountain and armory lorch were still knights and have dishonored the title of knight and his very public denouncement and disgust of what happened to Elia and her children. Oberon visited when he first conquered the stepstones and they got along very well other than Oberons constant attempt to get him in bed or get him to join him in the brothels. Oberon constantly bugged him to visit him in sunspear and meet his brother Doran so he finally agreed. His first visit to Dorne was not how he expected. It was very hot and dry. Oberon came and met him showing him a tour. They then rode to the water gardens together with the wolf pack. He was escorted into the beautiful water gardens and was greeted by prince Doran his daughter Adrianna, sons Quentin and Tristan and Oberons 8 bastard daughters. Hadrian greets them all warmly. The Martells didn't really know what to think he was the son of the Userper and the grandson of Tywin Lannister, Dornes most hated enemy. Yet for some reason obyron liked him. True he publicly decried his father and grandfather and refused to be knighted because of it. He also does not worship the faith of the 7 which was causing all kinds of things to be said about him and rumors of his evil sorcery. But he was also a Genius having 20 links, a great warrior, very rich, very handsome, very talented, has his own army, a prince of the seven kingdoms 2 nd in line for the throne, and not to mention king in his own right through the stepstones. He was dressed normally and was very polite. He didn't seem to have any problem with bastards either. They moved into an open hall where they all sat down Doran was wheeled there due to his gout becoming much worse lately. Harry was talking to obyron about the other wolf pack members he became friends with then told him of his trip. "Yes I need to leave very soon as my cousin Dany Targaryen is in need of some help it seems." At this everyone went quiet. " and why would a Baratheon help a Targaryen?" Obera said with a snear obviously not liking him. " oh I have no problem with Targaryens, although I must say Viserys was a spoiled dick and more than a little mad. Danny was a sweet and well mannered girl last I spoke to her. They are family after all and family is all." Doran looked slightly alarmed at this information. "You have met them in person." " yes, 3 years ago actually was the last time, and don't worry I have no issue with you betrothing Arianne to visaryes although the poor girl would have had to put up with his wining and his fathers madness thing, but since he's dead now I guess she won't have to worry about it." Everyone tensed up and some even put their hands on their weapons. Arianne looked confused until it became clear and she looked at her father in surprise. "How would you know such a thing?" Obyron asked tensely. "I'm sure you met Jax when you were with them, he has been my man for many years and I assigned him to my cousins when I learned my father was going to send assassins after them even after I yelled at him and he agreed not to." "That would make sense since Jax was in the room, and Viserys said he had been protecting and taking care of them for years." Oberyn replied. "Why would you go against your father? Why protect someone who is a threat to your fathers crown." "I really couldn't care less about the crown or who sits on it if I'm honest, it's just a means to an end for me but even if you were hoping to subvert the throne the chance wouldn't be until after my father drinks and whores himself into an early grave. My brother Geoffrey is a cruel little monster and will be a horrible king and even if you succeed why would I care, would you take revenge against my mother and siblings? Sweet little Marcella and tommen? No, I don't think dorn would harm them and allow them to come to the stepstones in exile. I believe you too honorable to harm children. So in the end the answer is simple, family is all and of course the fact that he wasn't really a threat, he was a spoiled, entitled, unintelligent, madman who no one would follow so I wasn't exactly worried about it." "You said he was dead, how?" "Khal Drogo danys husband killed him by pouring molten gold on his head giving him his crown after he violated like every law the Dothraki have." He replied to Doran with a shrug. " then after that khal Drogo was injured while Dany was pregnant and unwisely enlisted a shadow binder Witch to help her injured husband which killed her husband and baby. Her khalasar mostly abandoned her and scattered so she burnt her husband, her baby the witch and herself on a pyre along with 3 dragon eggs and to most peoples surprise she was unburnt and the 3 dragons hatched. She is currently being escorted through the red wastes to quarth by my men where I will go and meet her to see what she wants to do." Everyone is silent just digesting the news until he broke the silence addressing Doran. " I cant help but notice prince Doran you have a bad case of gout, I could heal you if you wish." Doran snapped out of his thinking at that question. "I've had the best healers in the world attempt the same and none could do so, what would be the cost of this." He asked suspiciously Hadrian just shrugged. "It should be realitively simple just do some blood magic and eat the soul of an unborn child..." Hadrian deadpanned everyone flinched backwards with wide eyes "kidding, kidding, just a joke" he said holding his hands up. "Just have to drink this potion." He said holding up a vial with a little clear liquid in it which was just 1 Phoenix tear and water. Everyone looked at it curiously. "What is it?" Asked tylene sand asked interested in potions and poisons. "Just a Phoenix tear diluted in water" although everyone was distrustful he pointed out if he was going to poison or harm him he wouldn't do it in front of his family and palace guards. He eventually drank it and they went to dinner. They ate dinner with Arianne, the sand snakes, and even Oberon flirting with him shamelessly especially when the prophesy came up about his future multiple wives and them all pretty much becoming gods when he weds them and battles the ancient darkness. He just laughs it off even though Utred brings up how he has traveled all over the world to disprove it but every real greenseer, prophet, shaman and fortune teller all say the same prophesy even those not knowing who he was. He gives Utred a half hearted glare. They speak of many things included the faith of the seven being more and more outspoken against him and his magic. The biggest causes was him rejecting being a knight, his not following the 7, him not allowing septons into the stepstones, rumor of the iron born worshiping him as the storm and drowned god, the creation of the Witcher's with magic, Him allowing the worship of the old, drowned, rllor and storm gods. Him planting weir wood tree in the gods wood in KL in his own part of the garden. There was even talk of forming the faith militant against him. He kinda just shrugged it off as he would be leaving for a while and things should cool off. He offered a place on his ship to Oberon if he wanted to come. Oberon agreed when he learned it would only be a year and the wolf pack would be going. He also invited elleria, obera, Nymeria, and Tyrene sand as well who all eventually accepted. After dinner a guard was about to roll Doran to the balcony when Hadrian stopped him. "Why don't you walk" to everyone shock he stood up without pain though unsteady. " it cures your disease but your legs are still likely weak due to disuse, just keep walking and eat plenty of food and you will be back to normal in no time." Doran thanks him sincerely. They spend the evening drinking, sharing stories, and negotiating a branch of Phoenix trading at sunspear warehouse and pier construction.The next morning they all left for sunspear and boarded the black pearl. The Martells were extremely impressed by the huge ship. The ship was powered by wind and wind engine only and had no ores. It had 2 skiffs on the back sides that were also enchanted ironwood. He was especially exited about trying his prototype he has been working on since he could remember. He was always annoyed at how long it took for him to get anywhere which is why he made the wind engine. That only solved his speed on the water. He now has a prototype of a 4 wheeled off road vehicle with hundreds of enchantments on it. The max speed should be about 60 mph. Its shaped a little longer (sherp ATV). It was complete with hardened glass windows, enchanted rubber tires, ac/heating, racks on the roof and 10 seats. It can travel on top of water and on land through treacherous terrain. This of course was just a prototype and ran purely on magic. It used a ton of magic as well so he was currently the only one who could use it for more than an hour.
