Chapitre 23: Reunion and magical gift

We got to the cars and got on, they were extremely comfortable cars, looking at the travel route, I noticed that the road was not dirt, it was white stone and on the sides, there were some trees with beautiful iron decorations and inside a glass the size of an orange, we saw several soldiers patrolling with several wolves, bears and other companion animals, as they may have done to tame them, we approached the city, it was not a city at all, it was a fortified city from top to bottom, a solid wall with watchtowers, ballistae, catapults, oil pots, and a fucking iron and wood double gate, not just any wood was fucking IronWood, the streets were neat.

The city was made in the form of grids, wherein each grid there were 4 houses each one delimited, there was a sector for blacksmiths, merchants, doctors, and the school district, arts, and more, the doctor interested me according to the coachman the school district taught both children and adults read and write, and then more advanced they would study medicine, potion brewing, study economics, military in the military academy and Davos would teach the Navy, what I saw when we passed through one of the streets left me shocked, I had to sit down and rub my eyes to check, the coachman laughed at me and asked if it was real.

What I saw was an extremely beautiful girl with a face and a body that steal your breath, but then I wanted to look at her waist and I noticed she had no human legs, she was half a deer, in none of my trips did I see things like that, not even the citadel had a record Of this, the coachman kept silent and said they are Dryads serve Lord Trant, usually, people cannot see them, only if the Lord wants they will be seen, he must be lucky, he replied.

Really what or who is Adrián Trant asking.

The coachman only answered me, he will tell him, we have already arrived at the castle, it was a castle with a moat full of water, walls and double doors, this is a true impregnable city if you passed the city walls there was still the castle when you passed the Doors we found gardens full of flowers, water fountains and fruit trees and it was just the entrance to the castle, upon entering we were greeted by the Child and his committee, Dulan the dwarf, Davos, a Blonde woman with Green eyes, a tanned man and a Dryad.

Adrian: Well Oberyn, welcome to the Palace of Eternal Spring I hope your trip was comfortable and I hope you weren't scared to see some things.

Oberyn: ha child you are a bag of surprises, but if it is a bit difficult to understand everything if we can go and you explain things to me

Adrian: In due time, it's tea time and right now I think my mother and the ladies are waiting for us.

Oberyn was anxious to check the crypt of his sister and nephews when he received the letter, what he found left him paralyzed there were only wooden dolls inside, Doran swore that the bodies delivered were theirs, he had started crying there was a possibility that his sister was alive, Doran also wept with joy and hurried to answer the letter accepting the business

Adrián: haha quiet Oberyn, let's go inside they are in the garden having tea

we walked through the corridors, beautifully decorated and we arrived at the internal garden, Ellyn Trant and two other women were sitting at a table, I just desperately ran to them and put myself at their feet, I did not care at all my Sister was in front of me, she was healthier than ever, my throat just came out a little question how can you be alive?

adrián: Oberyn calm down, take a seat next to your sister in a while Rhaenys should come from his school with Grandma Saleria.

Oberyn wiped his tears with a handkerchief and took a seat as the maids brought out various cups and trays filled with sweets and pastries, apple pies, scones with cream, fine chocolates, toast, and fruit jams.

Adrian served him a cup of tea for the man to calm down and try things like chocolates, after a cup, he proceeded to say how he rescued Elia and Lyanna by his side, as they had all fallen for the deception of another mad king Rhaegar for a prophecy, Oberyn clenched his fists they had fallen into another stupid game. Then I ask what or who we were.

Adrián: I am Adrián Trant, Son of Ellyn Trant Lord of Galowsgrey, and lastly the champion of the old Gods, next to me is the Lady of the elven tribe and last priestess of the old Elentary gods, she greeted and let her see her pointed ears, Dulan follows him, you will already know him, he is The King of the Forge and Lord of the Dwarves, one thing, do not confuse the Dwarves with them, they are two different things, one is a magical race and the other may have had a magical descendant, Another is Mauren leader of the Merfolk and Siren peoples, the tanned man greeted and for a moment his torso became a tail with scales and dark green hair, finally this Lady Lunara lady of the forest and Dryads.

Oberyn, he had to have another cup of tea to calm down, it was too much information, Adrian laughed.

And he said there are Dragons and Warlocks and several other creatures, but does this surprise you? It is amazing how easily some things are accepted and others ignored, many houses had symbols of magical creatures, Starks, Manderly, Connington, and others. Those symbols would come from somewhere.

Oberyn realized that, so you would be a kind of envoy of the old Gods but what about the 7 of the Faith, there is an envoy of them.

Adrián: No, let's say something Oberyn, they caused this world to be completely screwed up, irregular seasons, winters that last for years, let's put it this way the 7 of faith would be the walls of a city and Rulers and the old Gods are the ones in charge to maintain it, outside these walls, there are thousands of beings trying to eat a piece of the earth, originally this worked for a while.

But the 7 began to neglect the care of the wall and began to sneak what I would call external Gods for example The Drowned God and the God of the Storm, The Lion of the Night, the Great Other, The Black Goat, great parts are Demons that they achieved a Deification, and some let's say that they caused the cataclysm undead hordes, ice magic and necromancy, the worst was the damn prophecies given by the 7 the last attempt to repair their damage, but they didn't make it even worse, the Gods Ancients immolated themselves in a sacrifice to contain the vast majority of these evils.

Take Dorne, you know it was never a barren land, it was a land of incredible wealth and beauty, with the death of the ancients the land began to die, there were seasons spring, summer, autumn, and winter, there were hundreds of magical creatures.

Oberyn saw the boy upset and he was too, just by neglecting a duty all was lost

So I ask: can the earth and everything wrong be cured?

Adrián: Yes, but it will be long progress, the worst is yet to come, we are going to have problems with our beloved King Robert, something that few know is that this blessed throne for which so many fights and die, is Cursed, made so that humanity never be united, and with the arrival of the Others we are easy prey to finish, haha the best thing is that many fought for already crazy kings or who knew how to hide their madness with their eloquence and charisma and those are the worst of all. Oberyn understood that I spoke of the husband of his sister. This brings him to the last question. Why did he save Elia and Lyanna Stark?

Adrián: Why not, two innocent women who went to marry for a false honor or friendship and duty, because they would let two people die in the cruelest and ruthless ways because they would let their children be treated as mere bastards and humiliated, without the slightest hint of love just because your drunk friend could put his fat ass on the chair and squander all his gold on whores and booze, Oberyn saw Lyanna and understood what she meant, Ned Stark would rather keep their friendship than family even if he claimed otherwise.

Then Rhaenys entered followed by Ser Arthur, Ser Oswell Whent, and Gerold Hightower, who were dressed in simple clothes, they came from training in the fields with the soldiers, and the little girl ran with a smile to her mother, who introduced her to her uncle Oberyn, the men sat down looking extremely tired and dismayed.

Gerold greeted Lord Oberyn and asked: Boy, what the hell do you want to do with those soldiers, they are damn beasts of war, I almost shit myself when the boy Zajim, turned into a fully armored fucking 3 Meter Bear Man and split the armor on the ground. half with just his bare hands.

Arthur: Not to mention the sword and shield training, it's a nightmare those men will use everything they have to hit you with their shield, stab you, kick you or punch you, not to mention Ashen's fluid movements seem to dance on the edge of its leaves, lethal and elegant

Oswell: If you don't count their damn invincible formation, if you attack with cavalry a line of spears or pikes awaits you, if it's a clash of infantry the wall of shields and swords and rain of arrows, you attack with archers and your men will only cover themselves with the shields, if you want to keep your distance the damn archers will fill you with arrows with all those damn Auroheart bows, and don't count your heavy cavalry, siege weapons come on, it was necessary to create those Siege towers covered in metal and wooden plates from Ironwood.

Oberyn was surprised with everything told, he laughed out loud and said: Poor devil whoever goes to war with you, what surprises me that you have so many reserves of rare woods.

Adrian: well that is due to the magic that flows in me, I am what is called a Druid or Lord of nature, everything related to plants, and animals are affected by my presence, the lands are more fertile, the climate improves, the animals are much more fertile and who knows what else I haven't discovered yet.

But well Oberyn I think it's time for you to be with your sister and agree on what to do, she can't appear in sight except now, what I can give you is a way for you and your family to come visit her without anyone knowing

Oberyn agreed that the Westeros situation was delicate and Elia was safe with Adrian and was intrigued with her method of traveling

Adrian took a small wooden box, where inside was a finger ring complete with a green metal claw on the tip.

Adrian: this is a travel key, you just have to tear the air with it and a green portal will appear, it will take you to the emerald dream, in it there will be a weirwood door, he will ask you this question that cannot be hidden for eternity, the answer is easy There are three things that cannot be hidden for long: The sun, the moon, and the truth. If you answer something else well let's say it won't be nice and the dream will expel you and erase your whole mind.
