15 Travelling

6 Months later,

A lot has been happening for the past six months. My father finally given me permission to command 10 Valaryon ships. With its help I have been travelling to Pentos, Volantis and bravos. Every place I go I look for able body men and give them a chance to join my voyages. I earn money by solving local issues or dealing with pirates. I don't want to depend too much on family money. I want to create my own wealth like my father.

I have managed to gather 1200 Men and all of them were well fed, trained and disciplined. During these journeys I have managed to have better control on my water and Air magic. I have been using both of them constantly whenever I am in the sea. The main training involves sea water to push forward the ships. Air magic to control the sail to manage the direction. Initially it started with 1 ship as the days went by I am now able to control all the 10 ships. I didn't outwardly let anyone know of my control. My men think that seas are blessing me. I curbed the rumors just as they started.

Speaking of my men, all the 1200 men and 2 captains, yes 2 captains I have promoted Ser Ed Shereen as my second captain, are now experts at silver level in swordmanship, spearmanship, archery and horse riding. The 5-skill package plan has become a standard within my party. Captains have reached Gold level in the same skill. I am now still in gold level in all the skills but I am in advance gold level while the captains are at entry level.

In the past few months I have started exploring another branch of magic that is very useful other than the elemental magic. That is Skin-changing. Initially I brought various pets, all Land,water & sea. I started with small animals. I began meditating with the will to look with their eyes. With the help of beastmaster skill the favoribility is already at 60%, so there is no strong resistance after few tries. After getting the basic trust of the animal. I started looking through their eyes. After few weeks of effort {Skin changer} skill is added to the list.

After that routine grind with my new pets both big and small. Initially it was only looking through their eyes, as my understanding grown I was able to control their minds a little. As the months pass by I am now able to control any animal other than magical of nature to do my bid. Also scan skill has been enhanced to silver due to constant grind, it is pretty hard skill to level up. At the silver level I am able to scan everything at 10 km radius.

Now after 6 months of exploring I am going back home due to a letter from father. I am now almost 17 years old.

"Mina show me my status."

After going back I intend to relax for some time and spend time with my family more. I have 2 more skills to master to atleast gold level. Throwing weapons and dagger. Both are very useful to me and my party members.

After 2 weeks of sailing we reached to driftmark. I can travel much faster. But being able to complete 4 weeks journey in 2 weeks already raising eyes If I go any faster, it would be completely seen as supernatural. When I was nearing drift mark, I summoned Vermithor and Silverwing above the clouds. They gave a huge roar and started diving to an open place on drift mark where Meleys and Seasmoke are resting.

After reaching the castle, I met with my mother and sister. Apparently Laenor has started to squire under my uncle Ser Veymond Valaryon, one of my father's cousin. They went on a short trade trip to Vale and will be back in couple more weeks.

After spending few more weeks at drift mark, I managed to add dagger skills to my skill list. Now I have 2 new skills at bronze level to level up. But I am now resting and don't want to give more skills to the party members.

One of the mornings when I was sparring with my little brother in the training yard in front of the castle, a servant came, "Young Lord, Princess is summoned you to the solar." I nodded at him and then finished my training with Laenor. He is leaving for a long travels to North,Ib, Bravos with Vlaryon fleet led by uncle Vaeymond.

After reaching the solar my mother passed me a letter. It was sent by my father from Kings landing. It says for us to reach the city with Laena.

I looked at my mother questioningly.

"It is to propose marriage between the houses. The king need a Queen after all." After hearing her I was angered quickly.

"Are you sure mother? The king is old as you and father and you want to make my 12 year old baby sister his wife?"

"It is the burden that a lady from any lord's house has to bear." My mother said seriously.

"I don't know mother. Knowing the king he won't accept it." I said knowing that the proposal will be rejected.

My mother pondered for a bit and said "let's go to the capital first."

Next day Me,Laena and my mother left on dragon back after saying good bye to Laenor on his sailing trip.

We reached king's landing in couple of hours. I asked vermithor to match Meley's speed. I asked Ser Ed to bring 2 ships with our belongings and 200 gaurds to king's landing. Ser Harrion will stay in Driftmark along with other household knights.

After we reached the Manse, Me and my sister reached library to read some story books while my mother and father went to discuss something.
