The lost explorer and the summer war, part 1

So maybe throwing a tantrum and escaping home after fighting with my brother over taking responsibilities and doing my part for the house, instead of drinking and whoring all day long hasn't been my greatest idea thus far, but what can I say?, none of us is happy of being compared to the all mighty and powerful Tywin Lannister, Lord of Casterly Rock, Shield of Lannisport, Lord paramount of the westerlands, Warden of the West and Hand of the King. Thanks the seven he doesn't have more titles if not I might black out before saying then all.

Kevan might have been the second smartest of us, the first to realize how things were and decide that if that was the case maybe it wasn't that bad to be on board on that ship.

then we have the poor and pitiful Tygett, always eager to prove himself, to be out of the shadow of our dear brother, why else would a 10 year old boy go to war instead of play, but even with these small shortcomings nobody can't say that Tygett is a weak man, who else than a man with a strong will can try so hard all his life even knowing that his efforts won't bear fruit, that people would never call him something other than "Tywin Lannister's brother", Tygett will always be a brave man, foolish, but brave nonetheless.

And then we come to me, smart enough to quit, but the most idiotic of us all, one measly fight with Tywin and I run to another continent in search of something not even our ancestor using a fleet could obtain or if he actually obtained it then died shortly afterwards, and now I come here in search of the sword which that idiot decide to bring with him and leave his family without, with a ship and a bunch of slaves, I know I know, I'm almost as smart as Jaehaerys the I, if I go back empty handed my brothers would laugh at me for being so dumb, they would never let me forget it I'm sure, probably in every tavern or brothel they would recognize me as the guy who went in search of a Valyrian sword and instead lose a lot of money, it would be funny… the first time at least, but the shame and humiliation won't be that bad if I were to chose between that and my current situation, there's something about being alive that seems priceless, especially when you find out that your crew members are falling like flies and you are starting to feel weak too, now in my final moments I just want to say…

"FU*k YOU TYWIN". Even when I'm close I'm so far, I could already see the lion of Lannister on the sails of the ship, but it seems that my travel will end up here.

Shouting that really felt good "hahaha" I could almost forget that I'm dying, At least I actually found the ship with Brightroar, I never said anything about taking the sword hahaha.

"Clump, Clump, Clump…"

It seems there's someone else awake, well, neither of us will be in short time.

"Creak…"

Ohhh for f*cks sakes, first we start dying without any apparent reason and now whatever those things are.

"@&@&@" what? That thing seems to be trying to speak with me?

"Do you understand what I'm saying?" If somebody else saw me like this they would surely think that my jaw might reach the floor, but right now I don't have time to dwell on this, maybe those things are what prevents any exploration to succeed, what are they?, metallic bodies, glass instead of heads, in the name of the seven just what are these things.

But even if I'm confused this might be my only way out, I don't feel like I can stay awake for much longer, "ye…s, I under…stand you, help… please"

The creatures look between each other for a moment and start reaching me with their hands, and in that moment all gets black for me.

What a nice sleep, if I knew that I will feel like I drink the whole reserve of wine of our castle I would stay asleep, at least the pain means that I'm alive, at least I hope so… I never knew being alive could be so painful…

Let's see where we are, a soft bed, the movement of the sea, I guess I'm in some kind of ship.

I heard footsteps I guess they already know I'm awake, I just hope those things don't try to do any kind of experiments with me.

The door opens and there it is, where I was waiting for a monster there is a man, wearing expensives robes, and jewelry, maybe what I see last night were hallucinations.

"Hello there, in glad to see that you are alive, we wanted to know for some time now if the procedure to extract the poisonous gases actually work, haha and there wasn't even side effects, you were pretty useful, now kid, tell me who are you?" He told me but who would think that he would be scarier smiling .

Gods, I never thought I could see someone more grim than Tywin but this dude make him look like a puppy.

"Thank you for saving my life ser, I'm Gerion Lannister and I'm indebted to you for saving my life, and a Lannister always pays his debts" I told him but he seems unimpressed, how ironic, a flee to the other side of the world just to find another Tywin, I might cry at this rate.

"A Lannister? I guess it's some sort of noble house, now tell me, what were you doing in those islands? Even a mentally ill child would figure that if no one has ever came back from there it isn't a good idea to go there? The maester tells me while reaching a chair to seat.

"Yes ser, my brother is the lord of Casterly rock and hand of the king of Westeros, if you bring me back I'm sure he will give you an appropriate reward for your troubles" at this point I'm sure he I saw him smile, I don't know why but I feel like a sheep about to be slaughtered, "I came here to retrieve the ancestral Valyrian steel sword of my house, I was about to reach the ship in which my ancestor came here but… well, you know the rest, your people find me and save my life"

"Westeros… I see, you might be useful, come, we are going out" he told me, I guess it's moment to drag my sorry a*s and see where we are.

After going out of the room he called a sailor to help me move, after going to deck I finally saw it, this ship was huge, easily two times larger than any westerosi ship, the sailors don't look like pirates, they look like an army, a very well trained one at that, where the f*ck these people came from.

Looking at the sails trying to recognize the banners, but what greeted me was a unfamiliar siglo, a black eagle spreading the wings holding a sword and an axe in each leg with a crown on its head, just where these people came from, im seeing almost 100 ships… but a voice took me out of my musing.

"Close your mouth boy, a seagull might find its way throw your mouth" "hahahaha first time seeing a ship boy?" Ohh how funny you are, as*hole, it's good that they seem to fear the maester as much as I do, in the moment he walked out of the corridor everyone shut their mouths.

After that they brought me to the main cabin, there where four knights clad in full armor and great swords, and in a chair in the middle of the room there is a… that's their leader? He doesn't look older than 12.

"Well who we have here?" The boy said, his voice sounding too childish.

"This is Gerion of house Lannister, from the continent named Westeros, brother of the lord of Casterly rock, lord paramount of the Westerlands and hand of the king, as far as he said he came here searching for his family ancestral sword, it seems you got lucky kid, you said you wanted money and we fish a moneybag hehe" the maester keeps giving me the creeps everytime he speaks, but the look the kid is giving me is like a lion looking a lamb.

"Well ser Gerion it seems we are both lucky, but sadly we can't bring you home right now, you see, I was ordered to capture the lands known as the summer islands, but once the campaign is complete I think it would be a good idea to pay a visit, now go to rest, master Aurelius will ask you a few questions later, trust me, you are going to need the energy". The kid said, I guess I'm going to ask the questions to the maester later.
