With only one in five men in Volantis free you could hardly blame me for what I did. They were slaves. Two gorgeous male builders with hammer tattoos stretching all of their faces.

But I digress. I am Bianca Stark. A name out of place for this sweltering city. My mother is Old Blood and my father is a strange sight to see. A Stark of Winterfell. A stark who lives in Volantis.

My whole life I was told what I should and shouldn't do. And as I grew that statement turned into who. I was Bianca Stark after all. My virtue should be unspreadable. I blamed the city.

The city of Volantis looks like a dream. It is hot and sticky. The air is a perpetual smell of fish and flowers. The city is sex spreading from the bay to the riverbanks.

It faded when we were caught. I felt terrible for the boys - truly. At least they will die knowing they spent time with me.

I was being scolded - my punishment was really going to be severe this time - when a man started screaming. The slaves were being pulled away.

"Dothraki have stormed the gates of the city! They're inside!" Panic erupted. I ran off. I ran off in barely a layer of clothes and I kept running until I found myself crossing the great river.

Passing my favourite rock and running to the edges of the city. I was running from more than barbarian savages - I was running from my father. From my mother. From my forced role in life.

And that's when I noticed the sun was setting and I was deep in the heart of the Dothraki sea. And two riders were growing painfully near...
