East

We headed East and crossing over the border were met by a less civilised woods, the trees were untamed and branches clawed at your clothes every time you went past, the road or more like muddy path provides a even greater problem and the eyes from the wildlife stared curiously at us as we rode past, “Careful her followers will be near, look there see it? A camp fire!” I nodded causing me to say, “What do you want to do? approach or sneak around them?” Arya looked over and seeing the fire heard me speak, “Never mind!” I sat there as the groups surrounded us, “Halt, who are you?” the group bellowed and leaning forward asked, “Where’s your witch Melisandre?” “Why do you want to know?” “We seek passage to the border, we know that won’t be safe unless we have permission so we want to see her!” the stared at us causing me to wait before we heard, “Come!” and looking over there we saw the red headed witch and dismounting we followed her in.

We sat inside her camp and studying us spoke, “You want a passage over?” I nodded causing her to say, “Why?” I looked down and seeing the lines on my hand start to glow spoke, “Wait a minute...there’s a Piece of Eden active here!” “Not the apple!” I got up and seeing my hand glow more prominent spoke, “Where is it?” “You know of them?” and studying her said, “I have those blood in my veins. I knew something wasn’t right, you are using a piece to distort your appearance, it’s just to perfect, too fake!” I grabbed the rose of Aphrodite and hovering it over her, her true appearance was revealed causing Arya to look in disbelief and me to nod.

“How old are you?” Arya asked, “Over two hundred years old!” “I thought you just used magic or something to stay young!” she shook her head causing me to say, “Witches aren’t witches, they are just an contaminated human. It’s like putting two different flavours of sauce into one bowl but separate them by a divider. The one side is yours on the other side the other. So in this case humans and Isu. What happens? The longer you leave it the more the one sauce is effected by the others smell, especially the ones near to the divider. She is literally on the divider of the human side but has been contaminated by the Isu side. Or to explain it easier: she is the steak that has been left to long near garlic and onions, the steak now smells and tastes of it. Most witches are temporary but all are humans with odd Isu gifts!” Melisandre nodded causing her study my arm and said, “Your concentration is high, very high; what is it 70%? 75%?” I nodded, “75%” and nodding she spoke, “What do you want to go over the border for?” “To free Athena my great aunt!” she nodded before getting up said, “You will have it but please help me with interpreting this message!” and getting up I spoke, “Wait!” she looked around and turning to me I hovered the flower over her until her body morphed back into her 40 year old body, “Should be permanent now!” she looked down and smiling spoke, “I’d better get some clothes on!”

We walked up further into the woods and climbing the hill were met by the a very small opening, “It’s in there!” I breathed in and sliding in with the faint torch light and helping Arya get passed waited for Melisandre to walk in and sliding down there it was under a small archway the symbols that were faint but clearly manmade, “Do you have a better light?” Arya threw me the apple as she spoke, “Use this, you know how much it produces!” I nodded before switching it on felt the ground to shake as the lines flickered on on the wall and looking down saw the circle light up so sliding the apple into place there we were met by the door open and holding the torch we ventured in and into the now darkened reddish orange glow.

We walked in and mouth agape Arya looked around shocked by the complex and alien design of the temple, "Is this Isu?" I nodded before walking in spoke, "Remember what I said! They were physically, mentally and intellectually superior then humans and thus is shown in the architecture Arya looked around and walking down the stone stairs stood on the circular dish with Arya as Melisandre stood back. The lights grew lighter and looking up there appeared an hologram of a woman who standing there above us in her battle armour and helmet on her head but not pulled down and grabbing a spear spoke in an robotic woman voice, "9th Century Saxon-Britain Vault activated. Bloodline detected: Descendant of Hades and Persephone, Message play!" We waited as the frozen image now became alive and the voice was no longer robotic. "James, Arya welcome. If we have calculated it right, the red witch has brought you to here and you aren't finding it when it's too late!" we watched as an image popped up a humans fighting an ice beast, then another of armies fighting and attacking each other over a throne, with men being burnt alive by an dragon and people being killed by others as we heard the message of, "James, wars oh wars will be fought and the world will crumble. You James! You must ensure the human's wins and the right person must sit upon the throne!" "Who?" "You must decide when the time comes just remember not to trust anyone or anything. The Dragon is evil, A mislead Isu, the illegitimate bastard king, the crippled prophet, the redheaded wolf and the Isu creatures who don't belong. Only one ally one can be found, a Tarth whose loyalty lays in the sword. To save the world all Houses must be destroyed!" and vanishing I looked over to see in a cage was two sets of armour one for each gender and the women’s had the Isu symbols on the shoulders whilst on the front was the blue and red banner representing Tarth both outfits hung there and looking at the lock saw the emblems that were meant to fit in it. "The House symbols. Lannister, Greyjoy, Reed, Tarth, Arryn whose key is already in here, I can get Baratheon's, me and Gendry were close at one point!" I looked at her causing her to admit, "He took my virginity... Targaryen, Tully's is my mothers land it looks like it's her comb, maybe Roslin will have it. The crest for Targaryen will either be on Daenerys or Missandei. The rest not so much! Lannister's looks like an diadem and getting that off Cersei will never happen!"

I nodded before thinking about it heard Melisandre ask, "Two wars both designed to destroy the kingdoms!" "The first is white walkers, it's clear from the non-human features, the second one?" I thought about it before saying, "Said something about the throne, so are they predicting second a war this time all the kingdoms fighting each other. All houses have to be destroyed, do I have to kill everyone? and evil burning all the villages down and a loyalist from Tarth?" Arya thought about it before saying, "Must be Brienne, she is the last one left representing it! Why she?" "Maybe because you all treat her like shit and abused her houses loyalty meaning she is more than willing to follow someone who won't **** it!" and walking back spoke, "So who should be on the throne!" and getting helped out reflected on my next quest.
