The waves were rippling and being cut apart as a small but fast ship sailed through them, the wind pushing against the sail of the ship, the sun had just started to disappear over the horizon the light reflecting off of the water as if turning the ocean into gold. Jon's ship the Princess Lyanna was designed personally by himself and the master ship builder in old town, it was designed like a cog but sleeker so it would cut through the waves faster, downstairs was a small crew quarters but mostly storage space and a small galley.

Jon had designed this ship to be able to be sailed by one person, it cost a lot of money to build, many times he had to dive into a dungeon or ancient ruin to pay for the parts for the ship, but to have a ship made out of ironwood not many can attest to that, Jon is just glad that he made friends with Rodrick long ago.

The Princess Lyanna cut through the waves as easily as if it were cutting through air, Jon was currently at the wheel of the ship as they were closing in on their destination. The last of the suns light was about to disappear over the horizon.

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*

Missandei came running out of Jon's cabin almost falling over as she tries to locate the source of the noise, Jon can already hear Tyene laughing from inside the cabin though he tries to hold it in.

"Don't worry Missandei it's just to signify nightfall" Jon says to her from the top deck.

Looking up she's met with the shining bronze Goliath that was the Titan of Braavos, standing at nearly 400 feet tall a pure testament to the will of the city of ex slaves. The booming sound echoed across the water the wood on the ship seemed to vibrate, it was if their worthiness was being tested a test that they would not like to fail.

"Amazing..." Missandei says in an awe filled voice, seeing the last light of the day shining upon the bronze statue was something the girl had never seen before having spent most of her life on Naath.

"You know stories say that in desperate times when Braavos is in danger the Titan will step down from the islands and enter the sea smashing all the enemies of Braavos" Tyene says to her as she sits down on the side of the ship careful not to fall into the ocean.

At her words Missandei's eyes open even further as she looks up at the Colossal Titan guarding the entrance to the Lagoon. Jon let's out a laugh catching the girls attention.

"Don't listen to her Missandei, such grandiose things are but in fairytales, it's a magnificent building but it also serves as a garrison that protects the entrance to Braavos, any navy wanted to invade would need to get past the murder holes and arrow slits" Jon explains as he points towards the titans thighs showing a grouping of slits.

"Why did you have to ruin my fun" Tyene says in a pout, Missandei feels a bit bad not realising that Tyene wasn't being serious.

"Don't worry Missandei she's only upset because when she first came here with me I told her the same thing" Jon states with a laugh as Tyene glares at him.

"It's okay Tyene I found it to be very believable" Missandei says to Tyene with an innocent smile and wide eyes, now Tyene felt bad for tricking such an innocent person.

"It didn't end there, when Tyene saw that the Titan was just a statue I told her they have a lever that they use for invaders, it unleashes two boulders that swing from between his legs crushing all the ships underneath" Jon says as he tries to keep his laugh in.

Missandei blushing a bit as to stifle a chuckle as she doesn't want to make Tyene feel bad.

"I could forgive that but tell her what you let me do next" Tyene says as she glares at Jon her face slightly red.
