Always the fool with the slowest heart
But I know you'll take me with you
I know I'll take you with me

The chill came before the sight. She could tell she was close. Winterfell felt far bigger than Kingslanding and it was a breathtaking sight. The castle stood out against the white background.

The second her dragon touched down a group of guard came her way. Cregan Stark stood tall with many surrounding him. Everyone stopped to stare at the huge beast. Their attention quickly switched to its rider as she got off. Most have never had the privilege of seeing a Targaryen or their beasts.

"Princess, welcome to Kingslanding." Lord Cregan Stark welcomed with a smirk. She came closer and he kissed her hand. Seeing the look on her face, he could tell she was leaving without a husband. He had too admit he would be honored to marry her, though she clearly held no interest.

"Lord Cregan, I thank you," she said politely keeping a straight face as she looked around. "Leave her. She shall hunt herself." She says hearing Silwerwing huff at the guards. She walked back to her dragon patting her head and saying something in a language no one could understand. A second later the dragon took off flying over the woods.

"Please come, princess, a feast has been prepared." He says taking her hand, which was quickly retracted.

Cregan Stark was an attractive man, only two years older than her. He was lean and had Grey eyes. She had heard he was good with women, but not a wife.

The feast had been big and Alysanne had held conversation with Lord Cregan and many of his men. She didn't like Winterfell. It was cold and the men looked at her in unnerving ways. She wished Aemond were here.

When it ended Alysanne was led to a room, which she spent only a few minutes in. She then made her way to the Wolfswood.

The woods stretched on forever and no one was around. Alysanne felt nervous venturing into it alone. She thought she would quickly find her dragon, but it seemed she went far from the people.

It felt as if Alysanne wasn't alone. It felt like someone was following her, but looking around she saw nothing. She was quickly distracted by howling that sounded close by. That unnerved her. She couldn't fight of a wolf, and wolves traveled in packs.

She whistled to signal her dragon, but the whistle egod into the night with no reply. She repeated it again.

"Are you trying to attract wolves?" She heard from behind her. She quickly turned around to see a brunette boy close to her age.

"No, I'm trying to attract my dragon." Alysanne snapped starting to walk further.

"It's very dangerous out here. There are packs of wolves that hunt in these woods and dangerous men that hunt them. You choose which is worse," he tells her following close behind her.

"Once I find my dragon, I shall be safe," she responds walking slightly faster.

"If there was a dragon around here, I would of seen it." He tells her but she ignores him. She whistled again in hopes that her dragon can hear.

"Can you stop that!" He yells grabbing het arm. Just as she was about to rip her arm out of his grasp, they both heard a loud sound, coming from none other than her dragon, to their left.

Alysanne gave him a 'told you so' look before shoving him away from her and running in the direction of the roar.

The man let of a scoff of disbelief, as he looked at her running figure he caught a familiar sight in the bushes.
