Year 18 (273AC)
I finally found it.
That god never told me this place was filled with people that act like fucking wildlings. There are some cannibals by the gods.When I arrived I mingled with others on the island but they knew I was an outsider immediately based on my looks.
On the way here I decided to do something that would change me forever. Using my perfect control over my body I changed my hair color's genome to snow white. Which would give me a more exotic look.
I decided that being a commoner from the North was not going to explain how I got valyrian steel so I changed my origin story even gave myself a surname.
Now I'm Lucas Radahn. A wandering sellsword from Naath. My mother was a northerner while my dad was Naathi. After I grew captured by slavers and taken from my home.The slave ship got attacked by pirates and I fell into the waters and washed ashore in Lys.
I became a sellsword and won the two valyrian steel weapons in combat.
Now… I'm a bit of an Elden Ring geek. So when I found the sword I decided to name it Destined Death after the goat Malekith. I even decided my future sigil when I become a knight will be the Elden Ring rune.
The shield was shaped in a circular fashion like the ones of the Romans. Very durable and from what I can infer works a bit like vibranium as that it disperses enough of the kinetic energy it comes into contact with. I named it Sentinel.
After getting them I had no reason to stay in the North or Westeros for that matter. If I was going to pose as an Essosi I better have the experience of one.
So I hopped on a boat from White Harbor going to Qohor. I decided to go there first cause they have the best blacksmithi g techniques in this world and I would love to see them work.
The main reason is to color my blade and shield. While I know they are valyrian steel others should not.
It took some weeks sailing to get there. My mental computation has been set to overdrive to remember everything I'm seeing so I can use it myself later.
I met a Master Kaeladrys who I paid to color the blade and shield black. I also paid extra to add the Elden sigil in golden colors on the shield and on the hilt of the blade.
I was told to come back in four days for it. That was enough time for me. I got to the inn I reside in and warged into Hugin and Munin. Using them to scout the city of smiths.
Through their eyes I saw how they make stronger steel than castle forged steel. I saw how they reforge Valyrian steel using blood and some valyrian chants I put to memory and finally I saw how they add colors to swords and their inscription techniques.
I'll probably write all these things down and put it in my library someday.
I spent the rest of the time chatting with other smitjs building connections that I may use one day in the future. I even got my first contract from a magister in Qohor.
I am to help escort some ships being sent to Lys with weapons for their army to fight of some Dothraki Khal. With my armor in a big leather bag with the rest of my coin (140 gold dragons). When I get to Lys I'll deposit most of it in the Iron Bank branch there.
We started the journey safely and smoothly but half way through we were attacked by a ship of slavers. I joined the combatants as they rained arrows on their ships.
With the modern bow I was able to take out their captain from our ship. That caused some panic but another quickly took control of the situation and counterattacked us.
They boarded our ship and a great melee started. I started dancing around them, killing most of them with a few swings of my sword per person. After the tenth person died by my hand someone gave the signal for them to retreat.
They eventually made it back to their ship and fled. We celebrated by drinking our sorrows away.
After that there was no more surprises and we got to Lys relatively quickly as got of board. The sellswords were paid and sent off. The sailors unloaded the goods to their warehouses.
I decided since I'm in Lys I might as well hit up their famed brothels. I have to say they did not disappoint. The girls look so otherworldly beautiful and cost like that too.
One round was about 5 gold dragons bro they're pussy better be made in heaven.
And it was. They are supposedly trained in the art of lovemaking since they were young and it shows. They are too experienced, too good. Best lay I ever had and it would take someone special to beat them.
I even got emotionally attached to one of the whores named Laena. She had beautiful purple eyes with dark hair, tall with nice cheekbones and a better ass.
We started out as just a customer and a whore. We fucked once and I kept coming back for more. Her pussy had me whipped. I was out here pillow talking to her about leaving this place together but she didn't want to go.
We kept our dalliance for a few more weeks outside the establishment. Eventually I started running low on funds and had to stop. We had goodbye sex and I was ready to fuck off from Lys.
Little did I know she did not take moontea that night and the next time I came back I'll have a surprise waiting for me.
