4 Chapter 4

Edwyn didn't wait for anyone to pack his stuff and seal everything in whatever that couldn't be easily damaged. Thousands of gallons of water, fodder for horses, spices, tons of steak, venison and vegetables in stasis seals, millions of gold dragons he had won from tourneys or had stolen from Baelish and tens of thousands of kunai and other weapons he had Tobho Mott forge for him.

He was prepared for a long journey and had enough to sustain himself for years.

Edwyn arrived at Robert's door and entered the chamber without knocking. Robert was in the middle of doing his daily act of debauchery as he ravaged a whore from behind while another whore was crying from being constantly smacked on her butt.

Edwyn snarled, "Stop this depravity right away!"

Robert stopped and his head whipped towards Edwyn. It was quite evident that the king was drunk but he was still of a sane mind.

But Edwyn continued, "I'll be leaving King's Landing today to kill Daenerys Targaryen. But before I leave, I wanted to tell you that I hate you from the core of my being! You ruined the lives of so many people that I can't even count. I curse your soul to eternal pain and suffering in the depths of hell! I'll wait for the day you are on your death bed."

Edwyn swiftly walked out and jumped out of a window, ignoring the angry roars of Robert. He swiftly manoeuvered from one rooftop to another and in no time, mounted his horse and rode out of the gates of King's Landing.

'I won't let you die with the satisfaction of knowing that the future of your house is bright.'

Edwyn was sitting in the cabin of a boat of his own design. One that was built by himself and reinforced with seals that could hold themselves against any kind of attacks. Only Deidara the mad bomber could damage the boat and Edwyn doubted very much that the said bomber was somehow reborn in Planetos with his memories and chakra intact.

Seals made it possible for Edwyn to create a speed boat for him. With high-pressure air constantly propelling the boat on the surface of the sea, Edwyn was travelling at speeds much higher than that of a well-bred Dothraki horse.

It took him just three days to reach the orange coast and the coast of Volantis, all the way from King's Landing. It was the first free city founded by the Valyrians after the doom. Although Volantis was the most populous of all the free cities, most of the population consisted of slaves.

The 'Doom of Valyria', it was one of the most defining moments in the world of Planetos. Because it indirectly led to the conquest of the Seven Kingdoms under the rule if Targaryens.

No one knew the actual cause of the doom. Some believed it to be a natural disaster while many thought it was caused by the sorcery of the Valyrians themselves. The whole Valyrian peninsula was broken off the mainland and was now separated by the 'Smoking sea'. No sailor ever dared to sail in that sea for it was believed to be haunted by demons.

But Edwyn knew better. The Doom was nothing but a natural disaster caused by violent movements in tectonic plates and volcanic eruptions.

The Smoking Sea was there because the volcano was still active. All those stories of princess Aerea Targaryen burning from inside out with all kinds of monstrosities erupting from her when she returned with a heavily injured Balerion the dread from Valyria were just that, stories.

Similarly, the dead rising to end all that's living, the White Walkers were also tales told by old Nans to little kids.

Or, could it all be true? Edwyn had experienced pretty much everything in his previous life as Naruto. From giant talking summons to goddesses who wanted to create an entire army of White Zetsu from everyone who had chakra, he knew that anything was possible.

The first of those mysteries was closer to him than the second. Edwyn left King's Landing with his first goal being to visit the island of Valyria that got separated from the Lands of Long Summer during 'The Doom'.

Searching for Daenerys Targaryen could wait. She was with Khal Drogo who was definitely taking her to visit Vaes Dothrak, the only city in the Dothraki Sea, also known as the city of horse lords.

Edwyn had already anticipated the possible future of various Houses in Westeros and he wanted no part in it. The era of Lannisters was upon Westeros. Robert had proven to be a weak king and had already lost his kingdom to Lannisters. The Starks were the only obstacle in their rise to the crown.

If Ned Stark was smart enough, he'd be able to avoid his house from being exterminated. Edwyn had left many hints for Ned to follow a possible path safely back to the North. But Ned was an honourable fool...

Edwyn shook his head vigorously. No, he couldn't dwell upon those thoughts now. He had other things to worry about.

In his hurry to create a dreamboat, he had forgotten to carve heat resistance seals on the boat and now there was no space left. Another miscalculation on his part was that he forgot that Westerosi currency wasn't accepted in the free cities. Such a foolish mistake...

Edwyn slammed his head in his palm as he groaned.

'Of all the habits I brought with me in this life, why was it impulsiveness?! I would welcome that verbal tic anytime than be in this situation.'

Suddenly, an idea struck in his mind and he quickly made his way to the fighting pits. The masters payed a lot to see slaves kill each other. Many other men would come and take part in those barbaric fights and earn some gold.

Edwyn quickly signed himself up for one such fight that also had the running champion of the arena. It was supposed to be a very high paying fight for the winner. The masters were offering hundreds of thousands of gold coins to anyone who could defeat the champion.

The fight started with twenty men circling around in the arena, Edwyn being one of the twenty men.

The champion was a huge brute and carried a mace in his left hand as he swung his war axe to behead a poor idiot who charged straight at the champion. Edwyn didn't want to waste any time in the fight and so, he dashed over to the champion and using his trusty sword, he struck, slicing the champion's body in two.

The crowd quietened down immediately. Edwyn took advantage of the upset and in no time, he killed three more opponents.

The rest of the opponents suddenly snapped back from their daze as the crowd began cheering for the unknown warrior who had just slain the champion.

It was over before even an eighth of sand had passed in the hourglass.

The crowd was in an uproar. Quite begrudgingly, the masters paid Edwyn the promised amount of gold. Some even tried to force him to stay but soon found their heads thrown away beyond the horizon. It was violent, but it was very effective in discouraging any further attempts to take him as a slave.

Edwyn quickly made his way to the coast of Volantis and bought a big enough ship on which he could carve seals to his heart's desire.

The carving process took him an entire day to finish as he had to transfer all the seals from his boat to the new ship. He didn't have the time or patience for the air-jet seals to once again suck all the air in to provide sufficient air supply to propel his new ship.

Finally, with every protective seal he could think of was finished being carved into the wood, Edwyn jumped on his new ship as he sealed the boat away in a scroll and began his journey to the island of Valyria.

A/N: Edwyn is going to explore Valyria! This is the first time I have done something this original in any of my stories so early in the plot so I hope it'll turn out to be right. But fear not! I'll try to make it a very interesting and exciting adventure!

Thanks for reading and hope you like the future developments in the story.
