Lyanna's laughter could be heard throughout the docks. Her Kepa had tied down the boat to the pier. And was now sparing with her with a stick. He had warned her numerous times that he wasn't a fighter.
Lyanna always corrected him that they weren't fighting, that it was a game.

Lyanna dodged another one of her Kepa's advances. She'd win, he always let her in.
Just as she went to swipe for him.. he stopped... and stared past her. Lyanna swerved around to see the fast approaching figure. A  young girl around 12 panted as she reached their boat.

"Onion knight?" The girl asked for clarification. The girl sighed with relief as Lyanna's Kepa nodded.

".. The She-wolf says you need to move on." The girl said under her breath. Lyanna's eyes flickered up to her Kepa. She was confused... but he wasn't, he knew this day was coming.

"They've found her." He said in realisation. The girl nodded.

"The She-wolf suggests you leave Bravos immediately. Make your way further east or bring her to Westeros. Just get her away from here." The girl whispered before sprinting away in another direction.

"Kepa? What is it?" Lyanna asked cautiously. He made no move to answer he had already thrust her pack into her hands. Lyanna made a move to protest but her Kepa seized hold of her forearm and pulled her onto the pier.

"Why can't we take the boat?" Lyanna asked under her breath as her Kepa steered her towards the city.

"She'll be expecting it. If we wish to go unnoticed we must book a passage like normal folk." He explained.

"You mean she has found me?" Lyanna gasped in realization.

"Hush now, child. You are safe as long as you remember what I've taught you." Her Kepa said softly. Lyanna nodded, panic flooding her dark eyes.
"Move slowly, breathe quietly and she won't find you." He whispered the words he had told her from a young age. Lyanna nodded again.

Never,
She'd never forget them.

She'd never underestimate her.
Many people did and now many people are dead.

Boiling hot rage seeped through Lyanna's veins as she followed her Kepa, fleeing from the life she had known for the majority of her short life.

They were running because of her.
Lyanna shook with hatred towards the woman that would her dead and her Kepa dead. She had already taken so much from them.

No more.
