"It's been a long time since I saw a human so close to my home. That too, someone with such a strange ability. It's not like that of the followers of that 'Many-faced God'. Tell me human, what are those carvings that you created on your footwear?"

Edwyn remained silent as he heard a voice in his head. It was very ethereal and calm, which sent shivers down his spine. From what the voice had asked, it didn't seem like the being whom the voice belonged to could read his mind. That was somewhat of a relief.

'Who are you?' Edwyn thought.

"You seem to have already found out, human. I may not be able to see what's in your mind, but I see everything that happens in my domain. Although, it's very strange. Why am I not able to read your mind? What a peculiar human you are. I command you to come to me in my castle, human."

Edwyn was starting to sweat. If he had killed someone, R'hllor would have seen him and sent every warrior under him to capture or kill Edwyn. There were still many questions that were plaguing Edwyn's mind. Who were these beings? How did they come to existence? From what little Edwyn had seen, they acted just like humans. Luckily, R'hllor's castle was right in the middle of the island. It would give Edwyn time to observe.

'Alright, I'll come to the castle.'

"Come disguised as you are, human. My children find other kinds of flesh to be... a delicacy."

R'hllor cackled and it made Edwyn's mouth twitch with annoyance.

He took a few deep breaths and controlled his emotions. With an impassive face, he walked out of the room and started walking towards the big castle that seemed to touch the red and smoke-filled sky.

Now that he was looking around, the island of obsidian and it's red sky made Edwyn feel like he was trapped in a 'Tsukuyomi', the ocular illusion technique any Uchiha with a Mangekyo Sharingan could use.

He walked and observed the inhabitants. Those on the outskirts of the island were very mellow. But as he moved towards the centre, their behaviour started getting more violent.

The beings were fighting among each other for the simplest of reasons. Even going as far as killing each other. The soldiers were standing idly, not doing anything to interfere in the brawls.

The situation got even worse as he closed in towards the castle. Cannibalism, on every other corner, someone could be seen eating the one they had just defeated. Even more so, the males were openly and violently raping their female counterparts while the females were equally enthused to ravage the males. There was no order, no law, no control, just chaos.

All in all, it was a horrific sight.

It was like wrath, envy, greed, pride, sloth, gluttony and lust, all the sins had been heightened to their uppermost limit in the savaged beings.

Edwyn felt disgusted. A few savaged beings saw Edwyn walking through all the chaos and jumped at him. He immediately unsealed two tanto from the wrist guards on both arms and slashed at the nearest attacker.

Of course, the attacking savage stood no chance and was slain. As the others closed in on Edwyn, he saw something happen to the corpse of the dead savage. All the blood in its body was rushing out and seeping into the ground, leaving a dry husk for a nearby savage to devour.

Edwyn immediately backed away and dodged the ferocious and wild attacks of the savaged beings. Despite there being no technique, Edwyn could feel that every strike could turn the strongest of humans into mashed meat. Gregor Clegane was just a rat in front of those savages.

It took just a few moments for Edwyn to free the attacking savages from the clutches of life and he swiftly ran towards the castle, not wanting to watch any more of the carnage. He regretted to have eaten before making his journey towards R'hllor's castle.
