Chapter 9: A visit to the birdie

*****************

Super short chapter today.

*****************

We spent the entirety of the day before exploring the mountain top. From valley to cave we saw almost everything that our new land had to offer. After going around the entire mountain side i decided it was time to head for the summit. I at least needed to see the view.

I had no doubt in my mind that it was the highest mountain in the world. It was one of the tallest even before i came to the ofd world, and with it being even taller now, i was sure of it.

There was one word however, that could describe what i saw from the summit. Cowabunga. I have no idea how this world worked but i was pretty sure that their the summit wasnt supposed to be snowcapped, especially since i could see the bottom of the mountain, that was full of lush greens, that i knew weren't experiencing this winter.

That lead me to wonder what would happen during the long crappy winters the Starks were always expecting. 'Talk about pessimistic'

Well considering exactly what was beyond the wall, I honestly couldn't blame them.

One thing was for sure though, as soon as i had the capabilities i would be making a snowboard. This powder was just too sweet to not shred.

Anyways, moving away from my adrenaline junky tendencies, i had been debating where to go from here.

Now that i had secured shelter for myself, I didn't even need to talk about stable food source. I couldn't exactly stay a hermit forever. Though i loathed interacting with some specific characters from the show,, there were many who had been dealt an unfortunate hand in the show.

The problem at hand though was that i didnt even know "when" i was. I could be before the battle of blackwater bay, or even a year after Aegon conquered the 7 kingdom's. Considering that there was some great war more often then there honestly should be, i was apprehensive of leaving the mountain.

Back at the cabin, i was sitting outside the door, grooming ironhide. While i was in deep thought, i felt a nudge at my hands. It seemed that in my brooding state, i had stopped moving. "Someone is impatient for some scritches huh?"

While musing over the pamper hungry gronckle, my system decided now was the perfect time for an announcement. It seemed that it wanted to help me make my mind.

[Its time to meet your next door neighbors.]

This was the first time seeing a quest from the system. One thing I immediately noticed was that it didn't have any time limit. It seemed that it was just placed as a way to gain rewards, instead of requiring me to actually accept. 'It seems i wouldn't be a slave to the system, how convenient' This made me happy.

At least i now had a direction to work towards. "How the fuck am i supposed to meet the current Lord of the Vale?!"
