Chapter 14: Sea of Monsters
The Narrow Sea roared under a stormy sky, its waves crashing against the ship's hull, the air thick with salt, rain, and the creak of straining timbers, the sails snapping in the gale. Adam Stiels stood at the prow, his black cloak soaked, clinging to his frame, his hazel eyes scanning the churning horizon, his HUD blazing: [SYSTEM: LEVEL 3 ACHIEVED. ENHANCED ALCHEMY UNLOCKED, FASTER CRAFTING, STRONGER POTIONS.] His smirk was wide, his fingers snapping, testing a stronger Swallow potion, its warmth flooding his veins, the vial glowing faintly in his hand. Level 3's a rush, but this sea's trying to kill my vibe, he thought, his boots slick with spray, the wind biting his face, his sword hilt steady despite the ship's sway.
Krakens erupted from the waves, their tentacles thrashing, black and glistening, their beaks snapping, sailors screaming as the deck shuddered, Daenerys' dragons screeching above, their wings cutting the storm. Adam snapped his fingers, casting Aard, a gust roaring to shatter a tentacle, black ichor spraying, the beast recoiling into the depths. [SYSTEM: AARD, 1 MINUTE, 11/1,000 USES.] Lyra and Tomas fought beside him, their silver swords flashing, slicing through smaller creatures, the deck slick with blood and salt. Adam crafted a Black Blood potion mid-battle, mixing nightshade and blood, its glow dark, downing it, his veins burning as a kraken flinched, its hiss sharp. [SYSTEM: ALCHEMY (ENHANCED), BLACK BLOOD CRAFTED, 2/5 POTIONS.] He crafted a second potion, Swallow, sharing it with the crew, its warmth spreading, their shouts steadier. [SYSTEM: ALCHEMY (ENHANCED), SWALLOW CRAFTED, 3/5 POTIONS.] Daenerys, her silver hair wet, her violet eyes fierce, nodded from the deck, her voice cutting through the storm. "You're a marvel, Adam." He grinned, tossing a coin, its silver lost in the rain. "Quen's your armor, Dany. I'm just the flair."
Adam pranked a sailor, casting Axii to make him dance on the slick deck, his boots slipping, the crew laughing despite the storm, their hands gripping ropes. [SYSTEM: AXII (ENHANCED), 30 SECONDS, 12/1,000 USES.] "Dance, mate, krakens love a performance," Adam said, the sailor's glare sharp, his hands steadying on the rail. Below deck, Adam played Gwent with a system NPC, his Lambert card crushing the NPC's Northern Kingdoms deck, winning an Eskel card, its edges glowing, and a pouch of gold. [SYSTEM: GWENT WIN, ESKEL CARD, 9/10 MATCHES.] "My deck's storm-proof," he teased, the trader's laugh warm, his hands shuffling cards amid the ship's creak.
Adam explored the ship's hold, its air damp with mildew, finding smuggled Qartheen artifacts—jade idols, spell scrolls etched with sigils—his HUD pinging: [SYSTEM: ARTIFACTS LOGGED.] He bonded with Daenerys over a shared meal of salt pork, its taste bland but warm, joking about Drogon's sea legs, her laugh bright, her hand lingering on his, her violet eyes soft in the lantern light. "He's airsick, Adam," she said, her smile rare, the storm's roar muffled. He bantered with Lyra, praising her combat: "Kid, you're a kraken-slayer, better than half these sailors." Her grin was fierce, her sword dripping ichor, her leather creaking. Adam sparred with Tomas, his Shadow Trick creating flickering illusions, their blades clashing, the deck swaying, Tomas' moves sharp from warlock training. He's a trickster now, Adam thought, his HUD updating: [SYSTEM: TOMAS, SHADOW TRICK MASTERY.]
Adam taught Daenerys a basic Quen trick, a faint shield flickering around her, her eyes focused, her silver hair clinging to her face. "For emergencies, Khaleesi," he said, the storm raging, the deck lurching. He planned a group prank with Lyra and Tomas, targeting sailors, plotting to use Axii to make them swap boots mid-storm, Lyra's laugh mischievous, Tomas' nod eager. Adam scouted the horizon, spotting the Iron Islands' silhouette, its cliffs jagged, his HUD pinging: [SYSTEM: IRON ISLANDS IN SIGHT.] Pacing the deck, he reflected on his transmigration, the rain cold, Westeros is politics, monsters, and a whole lot of drama, his HUD warning: [SYSTEM: PREPARE FOR LANDING.]
