•So It Goes•
"When is Elys getting here? I havent seen her in ages since she started dating that Pirate." Nya remarked.
"Oh a pirate." Laenor remarked.
"Sexy lady with an eye patch and a hook for a hand." Haenry declared with an argh!
"Really?" Rhaenys countered.
"No I never met her." Haenry clarified. "But most of Elys woman are fine." Haenry let the fine drag out and Rhae rolled her eyes. "Not as fine as you."
"Mama cakes ready!" Laena declared bouncing at the door. Nya jumped up.
"Her name day cake will be ready before she gets here then." Nya offered. The kitchen smelled delicious the boys were already drooling over it.
"Why dont you boys cut the lemon into thin slices round like this-" Nya cut the lemon in half doing an example. "And Laena can you find the biggest most beautiful blueberries for the top as well while I get the ingredients for the frosting ready?"
Laena was always Nyas little helper she wanted to be just Nya. Not having a dragon meant being like her mother in other ways.
"Okay can you help me measure a cup of-" Nya began and Laena proudly looked through all the ingredients Nya had gotten out. Measuring and adding them to the bowl. She whisked until her little arm hurt.
"That looks beautiful." Nya declared kissing Laenas cheek. "You think we should test it?"
"Yes!" Joffrey declared as the kids stuck a finger in the bowl. Nya as well and brought the frosting to their tongues. A moan of delicious agreement went around.
"Its perfect Laena." Nya declared. "Excellent work my little love." Laena beamed back at her as Nya brought the cake forward on a serving plate.
"Why did it need to cool down?" Joffrey questioned
"So the frosting doesnt slide right off." Laena informed him.
"Very good my love," nya agreed. "But once I get the sides and top frosted we need to put those lemons you both cut up on while its still wet to is sticks and the blueberries Laena picked as well." Nya helped laenor as he frosted over the sides of the cake before Laena helped her with the top.
"Oh no." Laena muttered sighing with disappointment as her frosting didnt look perfect and even.
"It doesnt have to look perfdct to be perfect." Nya assured.
"Aunt Elys wont like it now!" Laena countered.
"She will love it even more because her favorite niece and nephew made it for her." Nya corrected. Laena nodded slightly and when they put the fruit on top it looked perfect all the little globs of frosting Laena thought didnt look perfect suddenly were perfect again.
"Lemon blueberry layered cake." Nya remarked "with a buttercream frosting of course." Nya swatted at Davinas hand as she dipped a finger in the remaining frosting.
"Yum when can we eat?"
"When Elys gets here. Is she here yet?" Nya questioned as Laenor licked the spatula and davina pulled the bowl to her.
"Not yet but this is gorgeous. You need to make my name day cake next." Davina decided.
🫐 🍋"I might over did it with the flowers." Laena remarked.
"No it's beautiful. So perfect. Your aunt is going to love it." Nya assured.
"Shipwreck on the west border!" Corlys declared running in. "Nya it looks like Elys ship." Their smiles fell as they ran outside.
"Elys!" Derek was already in the water pushing through planks.
"Elys!" Haenry called out. Nya didnt know how long they spent splashing around digging through the ship. The ship was destroyed as though something had taken a bite out of it.
"Elys? Elys? ELYS!"
"Whoever survived probably jumped ship when they were attacked." Corlys whispered.
"Probably got attacked by whatever did that." Rhaenys agreed.
"Look at the size of that bite." Nya whimpered.
"A shark." Haenry pondered.
"Never seen a shark that big before." Corlys countered. Derek pulled out a scarf, he recognized it, torn, soaked but blood stained. He fisted it in his hand but not before Nya saw it.
"Derek." Nya whimpered. He held it up and she moved to him her foot slipped into the broken boards. Corlys caught her as she moved in a daze.
"Our Elys is a fighter." Derek reminded her as she grabbed the scarf.
"I gave her this." Nya whispered.
"Elys is a fighter, if she is out there... she is still fighting." Derek reminded her and she nodded holding onto him.
They cleaned up the wreckage looking for any path they have been taken but they didnt know where Elys was coming from. The crew on the ship were beaten, bloody and unconscious. They were brought to the maesters but didnt survive long enough to tell them what had happened out on the seas.
Nya stood on the shores waiting for Elys to make her grand entrance.
Waited for her to appear and everything would be fine.
Nya's long silver hair whipped behind her with the strong winds, the waves crashed at her feet. Waiting. Waiting for her sister to come back.
