Forgive me.
Forgive me.
Forgive me.
Ashanna repeated those words many times as she fled through the castle halls.
She wiped her tear stained cheeks. Now she had to find Arya. She sprinted to the stables. Only to find her horse Frost still in the stables.
Her father's men dead.
And her bow, arrows and sword peaking out of her dropped luggage. She pulled them out with ease and armed herself.
She climbed onto the stables' roof, meeting her wolves.
She kneeled in front of Winter. She stroke her fur lovingly before looking her directly into the wolf's eyes, in attempt to make a connection.

Find Arya

She said in her mind. Her wolf bowed her head before licking her and running on the roof tops followed by her adoptive kin.

Ashanna lay on the porch In the burning heat. Her breaths came out in painful gasps. She'd find her sister but she needed rest.

She woke in a soft bed and with that realisation she jumped out of the bed and hurried out of the room to find none other then Lord Varys sitting at a dinging table.

"My lady Ashanna it's so good to see you well." He said as he got to his feet.

"I need to leave." Ashanna said shortly.

"Please.. Rest. You must feel exhausted." Lord Varys said slowly.

"How long have I been here?" Ashanna asks cautiously.

"Three days, Cerci has imprisoned your father, ordered his men dead, taken your sister into her custody and has lost your other sister." He explained.

Arya lost.

"My wolves?" Ashanna asked suspiciously.

"They've been coming and going as they please." Varys said slowly.

"Thank you my lord for keeping me free of the queen but I must find my sister." Ashanna said as she took back her weapons.  She walked towards the window, preparing to climb.

"My lady Ashanna. I thought you would like to see your father." He said slyly. Ashanna stopped and turned to face him slowly.
There it was..
His move in the game.
Ashanna was learning quite fast.

"I'm not my father Varys. I won't stay here." Ashanna said clearly.

"I know that look. You may trust me Lady Ashsnna I hold no love for the new king or his mother. I only offer you a chance to see your father one more time." He said blankly. Against her better judgment Ashanna walked towards him.

"Fine.. Take me now." She said firmly.

"As my lady wishes.
